8 Wrestling Rumours & Reactions (July 21): WWE Targeting ROH?
Today’s juiciest rumours and newsworthy bites.
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, plenty of backstage whispers on the ever-changing women's division. Kevin Owens is being pulled in two directions, where will the big man land when it's all said and done? SummerSlam is slowly shaping up with a possible 6-man tag. WWE looks to smash the competition, and finally, first names are no longer safe, just ask King Barrett.
Checking out the company that continues to hang on by a thread, TNA is now changing up how their talent contracts are handled going forward. Also, more talent looks to be heading out, thanks to Hernandez's contractual mix-up.
Finally, a "where are they now?" starring former WWE wrestler Snitsky. Aside from starring in horror movies, he's trying to put out his own beard product line, and yes he still says his famous catchphrase: "it's not my fault".
See something that you would love or hate to see happen, make sure you hit up the comments with your opinion. Okay, let's get on to the good stuff.
8. WWE Targeting Ring of Honor
Rumour: WWE is working hard towards taking out Ring of Honor as they are considered the promotion who started the trend of setting up events around WrestleMania weekend. These events are being said to take some business away from WWE. Clear evidence of this mentality is how NXT is being booked alongside SummerSlam.
Reaction: Wrestling has always been a cutthroat business, so if WWE feels they are being slighted by other companies, they tend not to sit by idly for long. Highly doubt they will literally take out the competition with these moves, but Ring of Honor may have to adjust their events in the future if their WrestleMania/SummerSlam weekend shows struggle.
