Welcome to the Grapevine! This section of Smark Henry is where we round up all the important founded and unfounded rumors floating around the pro wrestling scene that you may have missed over the past few days. Remember to take everything with a grain of salt!
Bobby Lashley reportedly promised a match with Brock Lesnar
WWE Champion Bobby Lashley was reportedly promised a match with Brock Lesnar when the former returned to the WWE back in 2018. The reason why it hasn't happened yet was that the company just "never got around to it." Lesnar is currently not contracted with WWE, while Lashley vs. Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship was confirmed for WrestleMania 37. (Source: Wrestling Observer Radio)
We say: Well, now that Lashley's WWE Champion, it likely won't be the last time he'll be champion. So make it happen!
WWE Hall of Fame ceremony to be live
This year's WWE Hall of Fame ceremony is going to be aired live on Peacock and the WWE Network on Tuesday, April 6. The 2020 class will be inducted in this year's event, while so far only Molly Holly has been confirmed for the 2021 class. (Source: PWInsider.com)
We say: That's going to be a long event, but the 2021 class will likely be smaller to accommodate this.
