Rumor Roundup: Rollins replacing Punk, Bronson Reed plan, Chelsea Green injury, more!
Speculating on the rumors surrounding pro wrestling is a favored pastime of many fans, perhaps second only to actually watching the matches. In this daily column, we take a look at the latest rumors being churned out by the pro wrestling rumor mill.
Important reminder: Rumors are just that — rumors. None of this has been confirmed as fact, it's just circulating around the pro wrestling rumor mill. We track rumor accuracy in a weekly feature called Rumor Look Back you can find here. Remember, take it all with a grain of salt.
Rumors for the Day:
Regarding Seth Rollins replacing CM Punk in a promotional video for WWE Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter claims it 'wasn't a significant change or anything.'
Bronson Reed joining Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Paul Heyman's faction was a late decision, per Fightful, as original plans didn't include anyone else joining the group.
Fightful Select has confirmed Chelsea Green's broken nose is legitimate. The Daily Update says they don't expect her off TV at all, however, as it was a 'clean break.'
They also say Liv Morgan is being factored into creative plans for Raw already and she could be back as soon as this week's show.
The WON says there was talk of using 'JC Matanza' for Jeff Cobb's new name in WWE as an inside reference to Lucha Underground but he apparently didn't like the name so they went with JC Mateo instead.
The Observer says Ace Austin, whose TNA contract is expiring, was offered a new deal but turned it down to 'get into a larger company.'
