Rumor Roundup: WWE Making A Change To Wrestlemania 36, Why Rusev Was Pulled From Super Showdown, More

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

5) Why Rusev Was Pulled From WWE Super Showdown

Rusev was recently pulled from the gauntlet match for the Tuwaiq Trophy at WWE Super Showdown. He was originally supposed to face Andrade, AJ Styles, Erick Rowan, R-Truth, and Bobby Lashley. Rey Mysterio has now taken the spot of Rusev in the match.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider says that the rumor going around is that Rusev is dealing with a back injury, which is why he was pulled from the match:

WWE star Rusev was not at tonight’s Raw in Winnipeg, Manitoba and is no longer scheduled to travel to Saudi Arabia for this Thursday’s WWE Super Showdown in Riyadh. The word making the rounds is that Rusev is citing a back issue, leading to his replacement.  

My Take:

  • I actually thought that Rusev had the best chance to win this match as he was the top babyface. I am now not sure what is going to happen.

4) Who Will Be Inducting Davey Boy Smith Into The WWE Hall of Fame

“The British Bulldog”, Davey Boy Smith is a name that is rumored for the 2020 WWE Hall of Fame class.

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Bret Hart will be inducting him. Here is what Johnson wrote:

“The word making the rounds at RAW tonight is that Bret Hart will be inducting Davey Boy Smith into the WWE Hall of Fame.”

My Take:

  • This is a choice that makes sense. I have to admit though, I thought that Dave Boy Smith Jr would be the guy who inducts him. We will have to wait and see but either would be great choices.
