Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) AJ Styles’ Next Feud
According to Cageside Seats, WWE is discussing setting up a feud between AJ Styles and Big E.
This would be for the Intercontinental Championship:
There’s been a lot of talk of Big E wrestling for a title sooner rather than later, likely AJ Styles for the Intercontinental championship.
My Take:
- An AJ Styles and Big E feud sounds great to me and I am sure that they will put on some fun matches. Count me in.
4) WWE Employees Are Upset With The Company
According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there are people in WWE who are upset with the company. This comes after WWE recorded major profits for the last quarter but continued to furlough employees.
Here is what Meltzer wrote:
The basic argument is that the furloughs made sense in April due to the unforeseen prospects of the future, because if they missed providing new television for weeks, which was possible had it not been for Gov. DeSantis in Florida, the contracts that carry the company could have been in jeopardy. Plus, Vince at first was terribly fearful if they didn’t air shows live they could cancel the deals. But by July, that fear was gone. FOX & NBC Universal weren’t opting out, nor demanding the shows be live, and WWE has a place to tape with no fear of being booted out, or limited fear because nobody can 100 percent see a future that nobody really knows. The argument is that by July, they knew they were setting profit records and then to extend the furloughs twice since then is the thing employees were really upset about.
My Take:
- Hard to blame any of the furloughed employees for being upset. If you see WWE posting big profits but still saving money to keep you at home, you would be mad.
