Rumor Roundup: Big Match Being Saved For The Royal Rumble, Braun Strowman’s Status, More

3) Lars Sullivan’s Current Status

According to a rumor from Ringside News, Lars Sullivan has fallen out of favor with Vince McMahon.

Here is what the site wrote about Lars:

One tenured member of the creative team noted that Sullivan’s situation is “just typical falling through the cracks.” This is not a good sign for The Freak as Vince McMahon was behind him just a month ago. Now he’s not even asking for him.

My Take:

  • I can’t say that I am the biggest fan of Lars. While saying that, I never root for anyone to fail, so it sucks to see it happen.

2) Chelsea Green To Change Her Name When She Returns?

According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, there were plans for Chelsea Green to start referring to herself as “Victorious” on the WWE main roster. There were even plans for her to cut a promo after her debut match on Smackdown, where she would use the new name.

These plans were scrapped after Chelsea suffered an injury during her debut match:

Fightful has learned the creative plans didn’t stop with Vince McMahon’s meeting with Chelsea Green. Up until at least the day of the show there were also creative plans for her to either have a name change or nickname. The proposal? “Victorious.” There were some concerns raised by some within the company that there could be trademark issues in making that happen. Both Green and “Victorious” appeared on the internal rundowns, though Green was scheduled for a post-match promo where she’d refer to herself by the new moniker. Obviously that didn’t happen due to injury.

My Take:

  • I am not sure if that is going to work. I just feel bad for Chelsea as she was likely going to receive a push before her injury.
