Rumor Roundup: WWE’s Plan For Pat McAfee, More ‘RAW Legends Night’ Surprises, More

3) WWE Tournament Planned

It has been rumored for a few weeks now that WWE is planning to introduce a new ‘NXT India’ brand. We have another note to pass your way about the project.

According to John Pollock of POST Wrestling, the plan (as of last month) was for an 8-man tournament to happen for the India brand/project:

We do know that as of November they were expecting to host an eight-man tournament for the project.

My Take:

  • I love tournaments, so I am down to watch this. Sounds like fun.

2) WWE Changes Plans For Roman Reigns At The Royal Rumble

A few weeks ago, it was rumored that Daniel Bryan would be facing Roman Reigns at the 2021 Royal Rumble PPV. WWE has changed those plans as Daniel announced his entry into the men’s Royal Rumble match instead.

On Talking Smack, Bryan teased a match between him and Roman at Wrestlemania 37. Here is what he said to Paul Heyman:

“Paul, I don’t lay claim to being better than many people at certain things. But I’ll tell you this: I am a better fighter than Roman Reigns. And I’m sure as hell a better wrestler than Roman Reigns. And if I win the Royal Rumble and face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, and he’s still the champion, I will beat him for that championship. Here’s another thing: If he’s not champion somewhere down the line, I’m going to beat him down, anyway.”

My Take:

  • I would definitely be down for Daniel Bryan vs Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 37. That could be a great match and we already know that they have great chemistry.
