3 Wrestling rumors we hope are true and 3 we hope aren't: Vince McMahon "personally" trying to prevent WWE star from signing with AEW, Major worry about SummerSlam cancelation?

#1. Hope isn't true: The belief internally regarding numerous WWE releases

Is Roman Reigns among the only WWE superstars safe from the chopping block?

The two biggest shock releases of WWE in 2021 were Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt. Both men were proven merchandise sellers, big stars and former world champions. It was only last SummerSlam when the two headlined the show.

Wyatt was believed to be a superstar described as a "WWE lifer." However, his release in late July 2021 proved that isn't the case at all. When discussing the situation, Dave Meltzer revealed on WON that the internal belief is that only Roman Reigns and "tippy top" level superstars are safe from getting released:

"Wyatt, 34, who had spent his entire career with the promotion, was, according to sources in the company, told by John Laurinaitis that he was being cut for budgetary reasons. The news was a shock to most and led to a reaction that if they would cut him, who is safe with the exception of the tippy top guys like Roman Reigns," stated Dave Meltzer.

We hope this isn't true, but given that Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman were two main event superstars that made Vince McMahon promotion money, it likely is true.
