Rumor Roundup: Who Is Behind Apollo Crews’ Push, Backstage Concern In WWE, More

Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.

5) Backstage Concern In WWE

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there are several talents in WWE who have expressed concern to him about still working during the coronavirus pandemic.

Here is what Meltzer wrote:

I can verify there were talents in the company who expressed concern, and others who recognize the risks and are concerned, but have said from a WWE standpoint they don’t think there is any kind of a solution that is good, including shutting down because of so many issues with that decision economically.

My Take:

  • I will say that it is a really tough situation. You don’t want to skip shows because you could lose your job. You also don’t want to skip shows because you could lose your spot on the card. I don’t blame anybody for taking time off but I understand why some guys and girls feel like they can’t.

4) The Latest Rumor On Who Is Behind The Hacks On Smackdown

In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer provided an update on the mystery hacker from Smackdown over the past few weeks.

Here is what Meltzer wrote:

The rumor going around is Mustafa Ali is behind this. But there’s also been talk it may end up as both Ali and a remade Chad Gable, since the Shorty G gimmick needs to be done away with anyway.

My Take:

  • Mustafa Ali and Chad Gable would be a really fun tag team. I agree with Meltzer that they need to get rid of the Shorty G gimmick and this could be the perfect way to do that. We will have to wait and see but WWE has me intrigued.
