Rumor Roundup: How WWE Planned To Use Gronk Before His Release, Big NXT Call-Up, More

3) NXT Superstars Told To Be More Enthusiastic

According to a report from Wrestling INC, the NXT Superstars who were in the crowd for RAW were told to be more enthusiastic:

The crowd was apparently somewhat sluggish before the RAW taping that started at 2 p.m. Someone backstage got on the house P.A. system and instructed the crowd to be more enthusiastic. One source described it as a parent talking down to a child. It has not been confirmed who the person was that was addressing the talent.

Sean Ross Sapp also added that at one point, Superstars got in trouble for sitting down in between matches:

My Take:

  • Based on reports, being in the crowd for these live shows doesn’t sound like much fun. I can’t lie though, I have enjoyed the show more now that they have brought in a live atmosphere. It isn’t perfect but it is much better than the empty arena stuff.

2) Future 6-Man Tag Team Match On RAW

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, we are heading towards a 6-man tag team match on RAW in the Seth Rollins storyline.

It will be Seth Rollins, Austin Theory, and Murphy vs Aleister Black, Humberto Carrillo, and Rey Mysterio.

“It looks like the program is going to be Rollins, Murphy, and Theory against Mysterio, Humberto Carrillo, and Aleister Black. So that’s kinda the direction it’s going.”

My Take:

  • It will be interesting to see how Dominick fits into all of this. There are rumors that Dominick could turn on his dad and this 6-man tag team match could be the perfect place for that to happen.
