In this article, let’s take a quick look at all those rumors and hope four are true and three aren’t.
#3. Hope not true: LA Knight’s concerning future in WWE
LA Knight is one of the most beloved stars among the WWE Universe. Despite his popularity, the Megastar has failed to become the World Champion. He even failed multiple times to get any memorable success in the Sports Entertainment juggernaut.
This poor booking sparks concern among fans, assuming that the company has given up on him. On Twitter (X), Ibou suggested that Knight has a love-hate relationship with the Triple H-led creative regime.
The insider revealed that many top guys in the company believe that the former US Champion can’t work. The source also made a bold claim that Knight is unlikely to win a world title in the near future.
“LA Knight has a Love/Hate relationship with the office, is willing to call stupid things stupid, and some of the top guys think he can’t work. He’s unlikely to ever win the world title, the sooner everyone accepts this the better.”
We hope that the rumor is not true. The audience loves the Megastar. WWE should consider putting a world title on him, at least once.
#2. Hope not true: Brock Lesnar’s status for Night of Champions 2026
The WWE Universe is anticipating Brock Lesnar’s comeback at Night of Champions 2026. The Beast Incarnate defeated Oba Femi at Clash in Italy 2026.
Since then, the Ruler called out Lesnar twice. Femi is set to compete in the finals of the King of the Ring tournament at NoC against Jey Uso. Many believe that the Mayor of Suplex City might return at the Saudi Arabia show to cost the Nigerian star, setting the stage for a potential rubber match at SummerSlam.
Despite the speculations, a report revealed that Lesnar will not be part of Night of Champions 2026. We hope that the rumor is not true. WWE should bring Brock back at NoC, as it’s a perfect stage to book Femi vs. Brock for the Biggest Party of the Summer.
#1. Hope not true: Roman Reigns refused to work with top WWE star
Roman Reigns is the current World Heavyweight Champion. The OTC’s World title victory at WrestleMania has opened the door to multiple dream feuds and matches. One of the dream matches in discussion among fans post-Mania was Roman vs. Gunther.
The Ring General is presently working on SmackDown against Cody Rhodes. Meanwhile, reports disclosed that a match between the Ring General and the Original Tribal Chief was supposed to happen, but the Bloodline leader refused to work with Gunther.
We hope that the rumor is not true. Let’s hope that WWE books Gunther vs. Roman Reigns in the near future, especially when the Ring General can be a solid threat to the OTC’s world title reign.
#4. Hope true: CM Punk contract update
CM Punk is notably absent from television. The Second City Saint last appeared in the company on RAW after WrestleMania 42. Punk’s absence sparked major speculations about him potentially leaving the Triple H-led creative regime, but those rumors were debunked.
Amid this, a new update emerged about CM Punk’s WWE contract. Reports disclosed that, despite the online rumors, Punk’s contract doesn’t expire in November 2026.
We hope the rumor is true, as it suggests that the Second City Saint is not leaving the Sports Entertainment juggernaut anytime soon.
#3. Hope true: Roman Reigns & The Bloodline plans
Roman Reigns has reformed the Bloodline with Jacob Fatu being the newest member. The OTC has already issued commands to the Samoan Werewolf as he wants Solo Sikoa to reunite with the family, too.
A new report revealed that WWE has no plans to end the Bloodline program anytime soon. Additionally, the company is satisfied with the progression, especially after Jacob’s inclusion in the storyline.
This means that in the upcoming months, we might witness more layers in the Bloodline Saga. We hope that the rumor is true. Roman and the Bloodline story has always proven to be a draw for the World Wrestling Entertainment.
It will be great to see if the company explores new directions and fresh storylines in the family drama.
#2. Hope true: Drew McIntyre has been granted major permission from WWE
After losing to Jacob Fatu at WrestleMania this year, Drew McIntyre has been absent from the TKO-led promotion. The former Undisputed Champion is working on Hollywood projects. Recently, his agent, Nick LoPiccolo, confirmed that WWE has permitted him to take another secret project after The Highlanders.
“You didn’t even know when Drew was filming Highlander or the secret event movie until now. Drew is a wrestler first. We respect what WWE wants and where they need him. This new movie is the exception, and they were incredibly gracious. I work around their schedule by default.”
We hope that the rumor is true. It’s great to see that McIntyre is doing well in Hollywood and exploring more opportunities rather than being a professional wrestler.
#1. Hope true: Backstage frustration increasing on SmackDown
According to an update from WRKD Wrestling, there is reportedly growing frustration internally over the lack of variety in the tag team division on SmackDown. A few weeks back, WWE released The Wyatt Sicks, Motor City Machine Guns, and more from the company.
This resulted in a lack of depth in the tag team division of the blue brand. We hope that this rumor is true, as this growing backstage frustration might force WWE to improve the situation and make the tag titles relevant.
