The rumor roundup for February 14 includes Elimination Chamber changes, Guevara Impact plans, NXT Women’s title match and more.
These are all the latest rumor roundups in pro-wrestling, which are currently afloat. So let’s look at the rumor roundup from the wrestling industry.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, there were originally plans for Roman Reigns to defend his Universal title in an Elimination Chamber match on next Sunday’s PPV.
And Ringside News also reported that it was actually Reigns who called to shift to the current plan, which is basically a singles match against Goldberg. However, the source also said that “They weren’t getting him in that chamber. No chance.”
PWInsider said AEW Star Sammy Guevara was pulled from Impact Wrestling’s recent TV tapings. Guevara quit The Inner Circle on a recent episode of AEW Dynamite. Chris Jericho proposed an idea for Guevara to appear on Impact. These were the plans submitted by Tony Khan and Impact officials.
However, Guevara did not fly to Nashville the day before the tapings scheduled and rescheduled himself to arrive just a few hours before the show. PWInsider also reported that Guevara began texting Impact officials about alternative ideas and “not wanting to do what was agreed to.” Which resulted in Impact officials cancelling Guevara’s tapings.
On his post-TakeOver media call, Triple H said that NXT Women’s title match at Vengeance Day had more time than what was used. Because some things didn’t go as planned, like the announce table collapsing while it was supposed to be used it in a spot, the performers had to improvise and didn’t go as long.
At WWE NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day, Mercedes Martinez and Toni Storm teamed up against Champion Lo Shirai. Which was won by Lo Shirai as she hit a moonsault from the top onto both women and pinned Mercedes to continue her eight-month reign.
