5 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: Unexpected Superstar to get top babyface push, Backstage concern on SmackDown due to Reigns storyline

#3. Hope isn't true: Kacy Catanzaro quitting WWE

Kacy Catanzaro made a surprise Royal Rumble appearance in 2019

The wrestling world was taken by surprise earlier this week as NXT and WWE developmental Superstar Kacy Catanzaro reportedly quit WWE after putting in her notice. This was first reported by Casey Michael of Squared Circle Sirens.

He cited a back injury that prompted her to quit, stating:

According to sources within NXT we have learned that American Ninja Warrior Alumni Kacy Catanzaro who signed with WWE in January of 2018 has handed in her notice to WWE recently. Sources tell us that Kacy suffered a back injury and decided to stop wrestling afterward.

We hope this rumour isn't true because she is a very promising prospect as a whole. Dave Meltzer later commented on the rumour, stating that it's not yet finalized but could be done any day now. He also revealed that nobody in WWE outright denied it.

Even Ricochet was asked about it, but denied it, only stating that she's very "family-oriented".

"I don’t know. She’s very family-oriented and she wants kids, so she doesn’t know if being on the road so much is for her. For me, I’m already too deep—I’m on the road all the time. She loves wrestling and she loves it here, and she’s so good at it, so it’s a very tough decision for her."
