Lead Rumor: WWE Hall of Fame in Saudi Arabia WWE heading to Saudi Arabia for WrestleMania next year still doesn’t feel right, for a number of reasons. But going to the Kingdom for the big show raises questions about everything surrounding it. Like the Hall of Fame ceremony. Well, WrestleVotes addressed as much in a Q&A recently on Fightful Select and they made sure to say “Saudi Arabia has inquired about it” before saying WWE simply won’t be missing a year. They’re surely going to do it, and it wouldn’t even be a surprise if Saudi dignitaries were there for the event. Bad as it may feel, this is just the way it is for now. Other rumors floating around Dave Meltzer speculated in The Daily Update that ESPN/WWE must have felt giving away an hour of a PLE for free on ESPN was hurting subscriptions, which is why they aren’t doing it for either night of SummerSlam. Per Fightful Select, Kairi Sane was not at AEW’s Redemption PPV and as of right now she has yet to sign anywhere. She is evaluating her options, and there are multiple promotions interested in bringing her in. According to WrestleVotes, WWE didn’t want to do Charlotte Flair vs. Jade Cargill at SummerSlam because one of the two is likely winning the interim championship ladder match. For what it’s worth, Nikki Bella said on The Nikki & Brie Show that Aaron Solo trained her to get her ready for her return to WWE television. Per Fightful, Willow Nightingale was planned for the world title picture for months, and Willow vs. Mercedes Mone was always the plan for All In. Join in on the fun, y’all.
