#3 Hope true: Bronson Reed returning to WWE; big feud expected

Bronson Reed is off WWE television due to a real-life injury. After a prolonged absence, a report indicated that WWE is preparing for The Vision member’s comeback.

According to an update via Fightful Select, Reed’s name has recently surfaced, and the company is preparing for his return. Reed’s comeback could take place soon, and a feud with Oba Femi could also happen later this year.

We hope that the rumor is true. The former NXT North American Champion should now return to the sports entertainment juggernaut, and a feud with The Ruler already sounds like an impressive idea.

#2 Hope true: Update on Bayley’s future

Bayley is still away from television, but her name keeps being mentioned on Monday Night RAW. Earlier reports said that Bayley’s WWE contract was nearing its expiration, fueling speculation about her departure.

However, a recent report suggested that WWE expects Bayley to return.

We hope that the rumor is true. The 37-year-old star should return to the World Wrestling Entertainment juggernaut, as she is a core part of the women’s division.

#1 Hope true: Oba Femi vs. Bron Breakker SNME match ending

After defeating Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, Oba Femi is heading into a high-profile match against Bron Breakker at Sunday Night’s Main Event. This could prove who the real future of the Stamford-based promotion is.

In this situation, both stars cannot afford to lose, and according to the latest update, the Triple H-led creative team could book a non-finish in this match to protect both stars. Though the ending sounds disappointing, this is one way to keep them protected from a pinfall or submission loss.

This is why we hope that the non-finish rumor for their match is true.

#2 Hope not true: Ilja Dragunov reportedly opted to let his deal expire

The Mad Dragon is no longer part of the sports entertainment juggernaut. According to an update from False Finish, WWE wanted Ilja to remain with the company, but the former NXT UK Champion let his contract expire and departed.

We hope the rumor is not true. The report does not establish why Dragunov chose not to review his contract.

#1 Hope not true: More stars could leave the company in October

After Ilja Dragunov, a report said that a few other main-roster contracts are coming due in October.

As per the source, those contracts involve wrestlers who have not been on television much recently. They may leave WWE, but the report did not say that they will.

We hope that the rumor is not true. The Chief Content Officer should re-sign all the major talents whose contracts are set to expire; otherwise, it would be a big blow, similar to Ilja Dragunov’s surprise exit.
