Rumor Roundup: WWE’s Plan For The Cruiserweight Division, Notes On Damian Priest, More

3) Backstage Note On Kevin Owens

According to Dave Meltzer on Wresting Observer Radio, Kevin Owens taking time off from WWE is storyline related and not due to injury.

Here is what Meltzer said:

“He’s taking time off, but I was told it’s storyline-related. So there you go.”

My Take:

  • I hope this is true. That means he won’t miss any significant time.

2) Backstage Note On Xavier Woods

According To Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live, a rumor going around is that WWE may have written Xavier Woods off television. This comes after his loss to Bobby Lashley in their Hell in a Cell match on RAW.

Here is what Alvarez said:

“I think Xavier Woods is getting written out of the storyline. I’m not positive about that, but I did have someone mention that to me last night.”

My Take:

  • This would make sense to further the storyline between Kofi Kingston and Bobby Lashley.
