8 Wrestling Rumours & Reactions (Aug 4): Owen Hart DVD Happening?
Today’s juiciest rumours and newsworthy bites.
Today's wrestling rumours...
In the WWE, plenty of backstage whispers on who could possibly get called up from NXT. One makes sense, while the other would be absolutely insane. There are also some updates on the Ronda Rousey/WWE situation and just how many times are Brock and Undertaker going to wrestle? They are booked for SummerSlam, but that might not be the last time we see those two in a ring.
Speaking of the Undertaker, WWE plans on putting out a DVD devoted to his "Streak" as well as a long overdue tribute to one of their most loved wrestlers.
Also, exactly how much of Paul Heyman's amazing promos does Heyman get to write and say on live television?
Moving on to indy news; Lucha Underground might be one and done with their season finale coming this Wednesday. Finally, a GoFundMe campaign has been started for Jerry Lynn, who is in need of getting neck/back surgery from twenty-five years of wrestling. Maybe you can help out the former ECW Heavyweight Champion.
Let’s get to it…
8. More NXT Call-Ups?
Rumour: Bayley teased an appearance on last night's Raw (Aug. 3, 2015), which was also in her hometown of San Jose. A call-up is very likely, but might still be down the road a bit. Recently, Dana Brooke has been working house shows on the main roster alongside Emma, which may indicate she could receive a call-up. The thought behind this is to allow Eva Marie to get more attention as she continues to wrestle for respect on NXT.
Reaction: Bayley is a no-brainer call-up, she's great in the ring and already has merchandise -- and a gimmick -- that will sell really well with kids. Dana on the other hand would be a terrible choice. At this point, she is no where near ready for the main roster, and would most likely get sent right back down after a few poor reactions from the crowd.
