Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) Paul Heyman & Vince McMahon Didn’t See ‘Eye-To-Eye’ Prior To Heyman’s Exit
According to journalist Tom Colohue, Vince McMahon and Paul Heyman weren’t seeing “eye-to-eye” for a while prior to Heyman’s exit as the man in charge of RAW.
Here is what Colohue said (via Sportskeeda):
Vince McMahon has been unhappy with Paul Heyman for a while. There were a few different things at play; for example, they weren’t particularly happy about Heyman’s use of AJ Styles. They didn’t have particular faith in some of the people Heyman wanted to push. There are question marks about names such as Liv Morgan and Apollo Crews, and of course, a Liv Morgan vignette was pulled at the last minute. This week Liv Morgan wrestled in a match that lasted about two minutes, and you know, it was strange in that regard.
Heyman and Vince McMahon haven’t seen eye to eye or a while, particularly ever since there was no longer an XFL to occupy Vince, so Vince has been very present on RAW, and that has created the issue.
My Take:
- I really hope that WWE keeps Heyman involved in some capacity. He has a wealth of knowledge for the business and seems to be great at working with talent. He didn’t work out as the guy in charge but I think they should keep him involved if they can.
4) WWE Star Could Be Out Until Wrestlemania 37
According to Sean Ross Sapp on the Backstage Report Podcast on Fightful Select, Elias could be out of action until Wrestlemania 37.
This comes after Elias tore his pectoral muscle a few weeks ago. Here is what he said (h/t to Sportskeeda for the quote below):
“Elias got ran over by that car in a segment a couple of weeks ago, but he’s got a torn pectoral and may not be back till WrestleMania 37. Heal up soon.”
My Take:
- This sucks as Elias is usually pretty entertaining. Hopefully he is able to come back before ‘Mania because that seems like a very long recovery.
