Can't this sentence be "It just turns out was rumor"?

Unfortunately no. That sentence sounds a little weird in English. You can use "It turns out it was just a rumor." In this sentence, "just" is an adverb that modifies the noun rumor. When it gets moved to the beginning of the sentence, it no longer modifies "rumor."
