Rumor Roundup: WWE fans, Travis Scott flaking, Asuka, AEW injuries, 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: On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that people within WWE have actually suggested asking fans not to swear during TV shows. He would later add, however, that he doesn't expect it will actually happen. Jonathan Coachman is claiming on Behind the Turnbuckle that he is hearing Travis Scott 'flaked' on doing the tag team match with John Cena at Money in the Bank and he hasn't been training with Booker T. Per Fightful Select, there were creative discussions regarding Asuka at the beginning of the year but that was considered too early and it's still uncertain when she'll be cleared to return. The Observer notes that there are a lot of 'banged up' wrestlers in AEW coming out of Double or Nothing, including both the Young Bucks. PW Insider claims the decision on who should win the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Final between Will Ospreay and Hangman Page wasn't finalized until hours before the show. They apparently went back-and-forth on it quite a bit before settling on Page. Fightful adds that the two wrestlers themselves pushed for the other to win. For what it's worth, Mick Foley told The Wrestling Classic that he had a secret meeting with MJF about a retirement match last year that never came to fruition. Foley said he loved the ideas MJF had for what would have been a six-week program.

WWE Legend Reveals Secret Meeting AEW's MJF About Dream Match
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Hardcore legend and WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley recently disclosed that he had a "top secret meeting" with AEW star MJF. Foley presented a detailed, multi-week storyline for what could have been Foley's final wrestling match. Foley shared this information on The Wrestling Classic's Casual Conversations podcast, shedding light on the serious consideration being given to his potential in-ring farewell at the time. "I had a top secret meeting with MJF about the possibility of having one last match with him and he laid out like six really solid weeks of storytelling," Foley revealed. The discussion between the two Long Island natives occurred at a steakhouse. "Two Long Island guys meeting at a steakhouse, and we didn't even take a photo of the situation, but it was cool." More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation While Foley commended MJF's creative vision, describing his ideas as "good" and noting they "could have been a really good six-week program." He added that this specific match doesn't currently seem likely to materialize. Nevertheless, the encounter underscored MJF's profound respect for the hardcore icon and his aptitude for crafting compelling, long-term narratives. Foley also shared that MJF wasn't the only prominent name interested in being his final opponent. "When I put out a feeler about doing a final match, believe me, there was no shortage of guys... it was really from the death match guys to MJF to Karrion Kross in WWE, there was no shortage of guys who were willing to do that match with me."

More Photo byThis desire for "one last match" has been a recurring theme for Foley, who has expressed wanting a memorable, possibly hardcore-style, send-off around his 60th birthday in June 2025. He has been training and undergoing medical evaluations to assess the feasibility of such a return. However, Foley's legendary career is synonymous with an extensive and severe list of injuries. Foley has suffered multiple concussions, significant damage to his back, neck, hip, and knees, famously lost part of an ear, and suffered numerous other physical traumas. Regardless, he remains in good spirits these days and will regularly make convention appearances in addition to other appearances. MJF is still going strong in AEW as a top star.

Lee Southy/AEW On a recent episode of Jarrett's 'My World' podcast, he revealed that he did not enjoy his time working with former AEW Champion MJF, noting that everyone who does work with MJF is worse off afterward. "Ever since [MJF] got involved in anything that had to do with myself has turned to absolute s***," Jarrett said, per Skylar Russell of Fightful. "I told him multiple times when we got together in Cincinnati. I told him before that, I said, 'Hey man, you're going to say what you want to say and if you want to go in the gutter, I don't wanna go there. It's not good for me, I don't believe it's good for you, I don't believe it's good for the product.'" "He did that, he obviously took high offense to me wanting AEW gold. I won't get into all that mess but yeah. When I really take a step back and look at all of it, there's not one talent that has been — I won't say worked with, because I hadn't really worked with MJF. Have I been involved with it, yeah on a certain level. He always leaves everyone worse than when he started being associated on any level." Jarrett went on to say that, despite the incredible amount of talent that MJF clearly has, he believes he is also "toxic" and "selfish." "I think he's toxic, I think he's selfish, I think he's got a boatload of talent but I don't think he was good for my career on any level. I think he got me off on a wrong track on a couple of different avenues. I also think that I'm the one to blame." "I've been around a long time. I think Sonjay gets kind of dialed into things and I think he lost his way and I think us as a group in a lot of ways lost our way and I'm the veteran and I should take more of a mindset on it." More Pro Wrestling: Naomi Reveals She Could Leave WWE: Report "There's a lot more to be revealed about all of that that I prefer to things to stay, in a lot of ways, it's not for the public's consumption," Jarrett concluded.

"I've made a lot of mistakes in my career, the MJF situation was a massive massive massive mistake on so many levels, that goes without saying. We'll see."
