WWE signs Enzo Amore; Hurt Syndicate stays in AEW amid RKO trademark issues

"

Is WWE really bringing in Enzo Amore to salvage Big Cass’ return? Let’s see what today’s rumors have to say about it! Top rumor of the day: WWE signs Enzo Amore According to PWInsider, there are some people in WWE who believe the company has signed Enzo Amore to a contract. His signing was said to have happened some time over the past week, although this has yet to be confirmed. Even if it’s true that Enzo is back in WWE, that doesn’t necessarily mean the creative plan is to pair him back up with Big Cass ASAP. One source thinks Enzo will likely be sent to NXT when WWE is ready to put him back on TV. If Enzo is instead moved to Raw right away, it’s not clear how that would affect the recent rumor about Big Cass possibly joining a new faction with Ethan Page and/or Rusev. The rest of the rumors! While discussing the Hurt Syndicate’s status on Fightful’s The Hump, Sean Ross Sapp said the group is “nowhere near finished” with AEW. It sounds like MVP and Shelton Benjamin re-signed with AEW on multi-year deals sometime over the last year. Multiple outlets indicate that WWE’s latest attempt to trademark the name of Randy Orton’s RKO finisher was refused this week due to the “likelihood of confusion” with other trademarks owned by RKO Pictures. WWE now has at least three months to appeal the decision, which involves explaining why “RKO” is important in pro wrestling. WWE has also applied for trademarks on the names Kato Sykes and Serena Thorn. The former name is going to indie wrestler Conan Lycan, who once competed on Mr. Beast’s Amazon reality show and is now part of the WWE ID program. It’s not clear who the latter name is meant for. Insider mentioned that WWE wrestlers and staff are expected to begin traveling to Saudi Arabia today for the Crown Jewel PLE on Saturday. During this week’s investors call, TKO President Mark Shapiro said WWE President Nick Khan is having conversations about bringing WWE to Tokyo, Japan next year. Per Fightful Select, 40-year-old Mustafa Ali is “highly regarded within TNA,” and the promotion is expected to make him a new contract offer with his current deal set to expire by the end of 2026. Now that Taya Valkyrie is gone from AEW, Sapp says TNA will bring her in “as soon as they get the opportunity.” Discuss these rumors and others in the comments below, and share your takes on any topic in The Feed!
