Rumor Roundup (May 27, 2025)

On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said he believes Bronson Reed was added to Seth Rollins’ group so he can take pins in the group’s losses instead of Rollins or Bron Breakker.

WWE held a mandatory Zoom meeting for all contracted talent recently, per PW Insider. Newer medical treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy were discussed in what was described as an informational session designed to help wrestlers make educated decisions about managing injuries and long-term health.

TNA held their own meeting at their TV taping Saturday. Talent were given a memo announcing $100 fines for instances where slaps are used without an agent’s approval, or for any throat-slashing gesture. The meeting was also to “express unhappiness” that previous memos had leaked, then someone leaked that info and the new memo to Fightful Select.

Fightful Select also reported that the outcome of the Double or Nothing main event was a closely guarded secret backstage at AEW, and talent were not informed ahead of time that Hangman Page was winning the Owen Cup.

WWE was “absolutely” interested in talking to Willow Nightingale had she not re-signed with AEW, says PW Insider.

On The Bryan & Vinny Show, Bryan Alvarez said Hook “was still getting evaluated” at Double or Nothing and that’s why they have him “do anything other than hitting a guy with a golf club” during Sunday night’s Anarchy in the Arena match.
