Rumor Roundup: Mega main event, Ospreay frustration, Mercedes Mone praise, more!

Speculating on the rumors surrounding pro wrestling is a favored pastime of many fans, perhaps second only to actually watching the matches. In this daily column, we take a look at the latest rumors being churned out by the pro wrestling rumor mill.

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. We track rumor accuracy in a weekly feature called Rumor Look Back you can find here. Remember, take it all with a grain of salt.

Rumors for the Day:

• Andrew Zarian claims he was told there is a “mega main event” planned for the special July 17 episode of AEW Dynamite. He did stress, however, that “it could be bullshit.”
• According to Fightful Select, Will Ospreay was frustrated by the idea that Swerve Strickland’s title reign is viewed as a placeholder until he wins the belt at All In, and he was the one who went to AEW higher ups to get the match made for Forbidden Door so he could put Swerve over. What’s more, they both have different opponents scheduled for All In.
• PW Insider says there was a lot of praise within AEW for the Mercedes Mone vs. Stephanie Vaquer match at Forbidden Door.
• They also say Mone’s story from the post-show scrum about George Clooney sending her a bottle of tequila at the event was “100-percent legitimate.”
• It’s still unclear the nature of Lio Rush’s injury, says Insider, but Brody King is NOT injured.
• Fightful notes that MVP is still under contract with WWE “as of now.”
