Rumor Round-Up: Main Roster Stars Asking To Go Back To NXT, Another Potential WWE Brand, More

Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.

5) Mae Young Classic III Not Happening?

Over the weekend, some buzz started to grow about WWE potentially doing a third Mae Young Classic tournament. This came after NXT’s ticket site announced the return of the event for November 2nd and November 3rd.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful reached out to WWE about the post. A rep for the company told Sapp that this was just an error.

Is this just WWE back-tracking because they are not ready to announce the tournament yet? Or, was this just a genuine mistake by someone in the company? My guess is that they don’t want to announce it yet but we will have to wait and see.


4) AJ Styles’ Contract

In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer spoke about some contract figures of current WWE stars.

While talking about Braun Strowman’s deal, Meltzer revealed that AJ Styles makes “Significantly” more money than him. Here is what Meltzer wrote:

When Strowman signed his latest deal, it was a four-year contract believed to be for $1.2 million per year. The key to that number is there are exceptions, but generally, the top downside number WWE offers is $1 million. Obviously Styles signed for significantly more than that when his deal was due because of AEW. 

Looks like AJ Styles cashed in on his latest deal, which is well deserved.
