WWE Rumor Roundup: Three Superstars could leave in 2020 and join AEW, Triple H confirms a big return - 25th October 2019

#7 The truth about how much Tyson Fury is getting for Crown Jewel match

WWE is going all out for Crown Jewel. It's obvious from the fact that the company has roped in undefeated boxing sensation Tyson Fury for a special attraction match against Braun Strowman.

Irrespective of how the match ends up being, Fury is set to make a lot of money. However, he isn't going to make the amount that was reported by the BBC.

BBC stated that Fury would take home $12 million for his one-off WWE match. That's far from the truth as Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

He wrote:

"The BBC reported Fury is getting $12 million for the bout. I was told that Fury is getting 'a few million' but the $12 million figure is total bulls***."

#8 RAW draws dismal ratings in the UK

The October 21st episode of RAW had just 3,000 viewers in the UK. Yes, you read that absolutely right. Three Thousand!

Dave Meltzer revealed the figure in the Newsletter and stated that the date was accurate, even though it was first believed to be a glitch of some sort.

Raw on 10/21 did 3,000 viewers. It was so bad people thought it was a computer glitch but we’re told the data was sound

One of the reasons could be because RAW airs late in the UK at 1 am, however, when compared to the figures of previous weeks, 3000 is truly awful.

Check out the big drop in UK ratings for the most recent episodes and you'd know why it's bad:

October 14 (RAW): 38,000

October 18 (SmackDown): 23,000

October 21 (RAW): 3,000

#9 More current WWE talents want to join AEW

At a time when WWE is trying its best to preserve its roster strength, there are still many talents backstage who wish to jump ship to AEW once their current WWE contract expires.

This is according to WrestlingNews.co, who report that there are Superstars in the WWE who feel they aren't getting the deserved limelight to shine.

A Superstar, whose identity wasn't revealed, had this to say about the morale backstage:

"Let’s just state the obvious, Vince is still in charge and nothing will change until he steps down and that might not happen for another 10 years or more. A lot of guys realize this and some will take the money, but some guys have a lot of money saved up and that AEW schedule looks really good.”I don’t know how many of us watch AEW, but I know a few guys and girls here that watch the show every week. You can’t deny that their shows are great."

It was also revealed in the report that the company promised Superstars healthy pushes if they re-signed. However, all they got were broken promises.

Another reason why a certain section of the WWE roster wishes to join AEW is that the Tony Khan-led promotion offers a lighter schedule. This would give them the freedom to spend some more quality time with their respective families.

Now, every rumor needs to be taken with a grain of salt. However, AEW does offer a great alternative to WWE and we won't be surprised to see more Superstars follow the likes of Jon Moxley and Chris Jericho to All Elite Wrestling.
