Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) WWE Management is Very High On NXT Star
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, NXT management is extremely high on Karrion Kross. Triple H and Matt Bloom are said to hold Kross in very high regard.
One person in WWE even noted that they have never seen anyone be held in such high regard by them. Here is what Sapp wrote about Kross:
Not that it’s any surprise considering he just won the NXT Title, but a source within NXT confirmed to us that Karrion Kross’ push has been the product of both Triple H and Matt Bloom being very high on him. As soon as Kross became available and met with WWE they were in on pushing him heavily. One person in NXT noted that they’ve never seen anyone there in their time held in such high regard by management, and it’s showing in the push for Kross. He’s said to have been easy to deal with since appearing in NXT after having a contract dispute in IMPACT.
My Take:
- This is great news for Kross and his future. I am not surprised though as he has been pushed strongly since joining NXT. I am excited to see what happens when he returns from his shoulder injury:
4) Why The Fiend Had Such A Short Title Reign
Roman Reigns won the Universal Title from The Fiend at Payback. This came only a week after The Fiend had won the belt from Braun Strowman at Summerslam. According to journalist Tom Colohue, there is a reason why WWE had The Fiend win the title for only a week.
This title change was because WWE wanted Roman Reigns to win the belt from a babyface and not from a heel. Here is what Colohue had to say:
“As for why they [WWE] gave The Fiend the title – they wanted the face to lose. You’re supposed to hate Roman Reigns. They’re genuinely worried now that they’ve made him a bada**, everyone is going to cheer him. That’s why in the ThunderDome, people were specifically instructed to boo Roman Reigns.”
My Take:
- I guess this does make sense. I am not going to complain about anything to do with heel Reigns as it has been great so far and I can’t wait to see what is next for him.
