Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) WWE Star Was In Line For A Big Push Before COVID-19
According to a report from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select (subscribe here), Riddick Moss was set for a big push in WWE before the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
Moss pulled himself from WWE television because his brother (who he lives with) is at a larger risk for COVID-19 due to his cystic fibrosis. As a result, the push for Moss in WWE was scrapped.
Paul Heyman was said to have been a big fan of Moss and he was set for a big push prior to this all happening (and prior to Heyman being let go as the guy in charge of RAW).
My Take:
- This would make sense as they did have Moss randomly beat Ricochet on RAW one week. That seemed like it was going to be the start of his push. Still, I don’t blame him for making the decision for his family and I hope he is able to receive that push down the road.
4) WWE Scrapped Return Due To COVID-19
Paul Ellering was recently a guest on the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast. During this, he revealed that he was supposed to return as AOP’s manager before the COVID-19 pandemic happened.
Here is what Ellering had to say:
“The idea was to bring me back in, but then this Corona stuff came up. Then the guys got hurt and they were out a while, so everything got put on the back shelf and I don’t know where it sits now.”
My Take:
- This is a bummer as I loved Ellering as the manager of AOP. Hopefully, they put them back together after Akam and Rezar get back to 100%.
