WWE Rumor Roundup: Superstar possibly suffers career-ending injury, WWE bans another word and more - 21 May 2020

Welcome to today's edition of the WWE Rumor Roundup. The rumor mill is filled with a lot of interesting gossips, and there is a ton of news from WWE to cover as well. However, we have gone through everything and are here to bring you just the best and most important stuff.

In today's roundup, we take a look at what The Undertaker told Vince McMahon after the Montreal Screwjob and the big story behind his long entrances. Seth Rollins has hit back at Jim Cornette for his comments about Becky Lynch and more.

Before we get to all that, let us get past the two headline-makers of the day:

WWE Superstar possibly suffers a career-ending injury

Ember Moon has revealed that her injury could be a career-ending one. The former NXT Superstar was talking on WWE Backstage when she claimed that she might never be the same when she returns.

“The more and more I sit back and look at everything I’ve done and what I would redo, I think more about my injury currently and realizing that I may have a career-ending injury. I’m coming back from the hardest injury and I might not have a chance to redeem myself of all the things I wanted to do. And all the things I want do in my future. It’s so hard to think back in regret when I try to look forward.” (H/T: Pro Wrestling Sheet)

Moon suffered an Achilles rupture last year and is yet to return to action. She had already hinted before that there was no proper timeline for her return to the squared circle and the doctors had told her she might be out for over a year.

She also added that she feels she should have ended Asuka's unbeaten streak in WWE and not Charlotte Flair.

WWE bans another word

Taynara Conti has revealed that WWE asked her not to use the word 'crazy' before her release. The former NXT Superstar was talking to Ring The Belle when she claimed that she was stopped from using the word on TV.

Conti used to should shout 'Are you crazy' at her opponents during the match but that was replaced after WWE made the new rule. She then started using 'Latinas do it better' and there was no real reason provided until now for that change.

“I always tried to put that in my matches, like I need to find a moment to do it. One day, I had a match on TV. Someone from WWE told me, ‘Hey, Tay, we cannot say ‘crazy’ on TV anymore.’ I was like, ‘Oh no, that’s kind of my thing now.’ They were like, ‘Yeah, sorry, don’t say it.’”

Taynara was among the WWE Superstars released in the mass exodus in April. There were rumors of her release before that but she had squashed them returning to the ring a few weeks later.

The Undertaker on his long entrances

The Undertaker

For years now, The Undertaker has been making long entrances in WWE. The Phenom has one of the best entrances in the history of the company and it sends a shiver down the spines of everyone watching and not just his opponents.

Talking on Pardon My Take, The Undertaker has revealed that it is all because he wants to take time when he is working with someone with limited skills in the WWE ring.

A lot of times that would just depend on my opponent, okay? Like, if I was working with somebody that was pretty limited or I thought I was gonna have just a real sh**ty match with, I was like, "Man, Imma get my money's worth out of this entrance." There were times I would take a little bit of extra time, 'cause I knew the match is gonna be horrible, so I figured I might as well give it to them on the entrance, 'cause they are gonna be disappointed when the bell rings.

WWE have been quietly teasing another AJ Styles vs The Undertaker match but nothing has been made official just yet.

Seth Rollins on Jim Cornette's comments about Becky Lynch

The WWE Superstar broke his silence on the comments made by Cornette

Jim Cornette made some stunning comments about Becky Lynch's pregnancy and that had the WWE Universe riled up. He claimed that she should have taken care of herself and worked now. He also said she should have thought about having a child later.

Seth Rollins appeared on WWE After The Bell this week and commented on the same. The former WWE Universal Champion claims that he has lost respect for Cornette now and does not wish to talk much about him and his comments from now. He said:

"It hurt my feelings on a personal level because Jim Cornette is someone who's a legend in our industry and he's someone that I've personally worked with in my time at Ring of Honor. For him to come out and say some real negative things, some real misogynistic things, about women in general and pregnancy in the industry...It kinda caught me off guard and it made me lose a lot of respect for someone who - like a lot of people - I had kind of already lost a lot of respect for...I was holding on to hope that somewhere along the line there was a personal connection between Jim and I that would make him think twice before making just some egregious comments about women and about my wife. I can't even forgive him, I don't even want to repeat them. "

What The Undertaker told Vince McMahon after Montreal Screwjob

The Undertaker and Vince McMahon

The Montreal Screwjob was one of the best storylines in WWE history for that infamous ending. The move to crown Shawn Michaels the champion saw WWE Chairman, Vince McMahon, become one of the most hated personalities in the wrestling community.

The Undertaker spoke about it now on The Bill Simmons Podcast and claimed that he was not involved in it. He added that he spoke to Vince about it and told him to keep the Phenom in the loop before doing such a thing again.

“If this kind of s–t happens again, you’ve got to involve me here, because it doesn’t have to go down like this. And he agreed. I guess it all worked out. It was sad. I’m really tight with Bret. Bret could’ve done some things differently; Shawn could’ve done things differently; Vince could’ve done things differently. But … that’s one of the great wrestling stories of that era and that decade, the Montreal Screwjob.”

The Undertaker is one of the most respected WWE Superstars in the locker room and almost everyone agrees with him.
