Many pro wrestling fans like speculating about the gossip around the sport, probably second only to watching the contests. This daily piece examines the most recent rumors coming out of the pro wrestling rumor mill.
We must always keep in mind that rumors are just that: hearsay. All of this is simply conjecture that is going around the pro wrestling rumor mill; nothing has been proven as true. In a weekly article called Rumor Look Back, which you can see here, we track rumor veracity. Keep in mind to take everything with a grain of salt
Rumors for the Day:
- According to PW Insider, Bray Wyatt is the top babyface on SmackDown. #2 is Drew McIntyre.
“I confess that along this journey I am gonna do horrible horrible things and I will never regret them.” – Bray Wyatt #SmackDown

- Wyatt is presently WWE’s #1 merch mover, according to Insider, which is probably one of the reasons why the company was so pleased with “The White Rabbit Project” and intends to run more similar storylines in the future. Although there have been people in the corporation who have advocated for similar initiatives in the past, Vince McMahon and his staff never pursued them.
- Triple H was back in charge of Raw Friday night, according to Fightful Select, after missing both of last week’s events with COVID.
- On a recent episode of PW Torch VIP Audio, Wade Keller stated that while he concurs that Triple H would at least consider bringing CM Punk back to the WWE for commercial reasons, someone “within the sphere of influence of Paul Levesque’s decision-making” would be “a hard ‘no’ on endorsing the return of CM Punk.”
- Recently, Keller also discussed MJF’s comeback to AEW. His “hunch” is that Tony Khan extended MJF’s contract before he returned and that MJF is simply claiming he didn’t as a future plot device.
- Keller added that MJF is a person TK trusts to represent AEW despite what happened throughout the Double or Nothing weekend. I think MJF is going to grow into a locker room leader,” Keller said, noting that the 26-year-old hasn’t been involved in any backstage controversy like so many others at the organization.
