8 Wrestling Rumours & Reactions: Bad News Barrett Returning?
Has Wade Barrett got some bad news to deliver once again?
Welcome to another edition of Rumours & Reactions; where all the biggest — and not so big — rumours and newsworthy bites are on display. Luckily, in pro wrestling the rumour mill is always running, so let’s see what’s on tap for today.
In the WWE, there's so much to talk about in regards to SummerSlam. The card continues to change with backstage information coming out about how the card was originally supposed to look and where it's at now. Injuries have been a bit of an issue lately so figuring out exactly who will be there has been tough to nail down.
There's been talk of one of WWE's biggest stars turning heel; which could rock the foundation of the company. Plus, if the card wasn't already jammed pack, there's a possibility of another legend showing up, and no it's not Sting.
Today is totally dedicated to the WWE so we'll also check in with former WWE announcer Jim Ross as he answers the question; exactly how hard does Stephanie McMahon slap?
Finally, it sounds like the WWE will be bringing back wrestling fans' least favorite reality show in hopes of attracting more subscribers to their "award winning" WWE Network.
Let’s get to it…
8. Dean Ambrose Turning Heel?
Rumour: There are whispers that Dean Ambrose may turn against his friend Roman Reigns at SummerSlam. It's also possible he could end up joining the Wyatt Family.
Reaction: WWE has been pushing Ambrose and Reigns as basically brothers for some time now, and it would make sense to see Ambrose flip to the dark side. That part seems very plausible considering what we've seen between those two. Joining up with the Wyatt Family seems less likely as Dean can hold his own without being in another stable. It should be noted that Bryan Alverez of f4wonline said the Wyatt's could be getting a new family member and some fans would not be too happy about it. Bray Wyatt and Dean Ambrose working together would be an interesting mix of crazy.
