According to Cageside Seats, rumors are just that – rumors, and none of this has been confirmed as fact. As they note, "Important reminder: Rumors are just that — rumors. None of this has been confirmed as fact, it’s just circulating around the pro wrestling rumor mill."

Another rumor that’s been making the rounds is about WWE’s representation on the main roster, specifically regarding Black men on PLEs. Cageside Seats states that, according to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, there were internal discussions about this issue last fall, and WWE "quickly tried to rectify it." However, Sapp noted that he hasn’t "heard of any heavy discussion about it or anything like that" regarding a concerted effort to feature more Black male talent.
In an interview with Ariel Helwani, Gunther confirmed that he signed a new WWE deal at "the end of last year." As Cageside Seats reports, Gunther also revealed that he got a tour bus as part of the deal, saying, "I asked for that. What you don’t ask for, you don’t get." This new deal is a significant development for the WWE, and fans will be eager to see what’s next for Gunther.
Additionally, Cageside Seats reports that WrestleVotes says an "announcement is coming at the end of the month" about WWE’s Money in the Bank plans, which will take place on June 9 at LA’s Intuit Dome.
