Rumor Roundup: MJF/Britt Baker issue, Fenix & Penta, NXT on the road, 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:

• PW Insider notes that MJF wasn’t suspended like Britt Baker because the feeling was she “precipitated the situation” and he was only responding to it. Also, he did apparently punch a wall but only after the argument and only out of frustration.
• Britt Baker, meanwhile, is expected back at TV for Dynamite this evening.
• Luchablog notes that Fenix and Penta have been trying to secure new US trademarks like Fuego, Rey Fuego, and King Fuego for Fenix and Cero Miedo and Zero Miedo for Penta.
• Fightful Select says there is excitement for NXT to return to the road but it’s unclear just yet if it will be permanent.
• Not surprisingly, Insider says WWE is thrilled with the numbers Odyssey Jones is doing on socials for his appearance on Raw this week.
• According to Fightful, Josh Alexander has been discussed to appear in NXT as part of the crossover with TNA.
