4 AEW rumors we hope are true and 1 we hope aren't: 8-time world champion returning soon, Goldberg slated to be Tony Khan's dream signing?

#3 Hopefully true: AEW star Jake Atlas survives the injury scare during his match against Adam Cole

AEW's latest acquisition, Jake Atlas, reportedly 'blew out his knee' during his Rampage debut against Adam Cole this week.

Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Radio noted that the former WWE Superstar needed an MRI scan following his match against Cole. However, the wrestling journalist heard he may have survived the injury scare and should be fine.

"He [Jake Atlas] suffered a knee injury, and I don't know, I was told that he needed an MRI, and it's possible that he's gonna be alright, but he was hurting really bad in that match, couldn't even get up to take the Panama Sunrise. Hopefully, you know, first big match for AEW outside of the YouTube show. Hopefully, he is alright."

We hope this report is true as Jake Atlas tweeted an update on his knee injury. The 27-year-old star assured everyone that he wouldn't be gone for too long, which is positive news.

#2 Hopefully true: Big Swole's criticism has nothing to do with Jade Cargill becoming TBS Champion

Jade Cargill finally accomplished her goal of becoming the first-ever TBS Champion after defeating Ruby Soho in the tournament finals this past week.

Surprisingly, Cargill's title win could have come off as an assumption that AEW crowned her the champion in response to Big Swole's 'lack of diversity' remarks against the company.

But as per Dave Meltzer, Jade Cargill was anyway slated to become the TBS Champion, long before the tournament began.

We hope this report is true and the company didn't put the title on Cargill's waist because of Swole's criticism. The 29-year-old star has been protected heavily in AEW programming since joining the roster.

Her undefeated streak could also be one of many reasons why the company didn't intend on breaking it, at least not yet.
