#3. Hope is true: Roman Reigns isn’t retiring from in-ring competition

Roman Reigns is set to compete against CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship at ‘Mania. Meanwhile, there have been rumors that the OTC will soon retire from the squared circle.

However, a new report from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful has debunked the rumor. Sapp reported that the former Undisputed Champion will not be retiring anytime soon. We hope that the rumor is true. The Head of the Table is a core part of WWE and has much fuel left in the tank.

#2. Hope is true: Brock Lesnar’s WrestleMania 42 opponent is almost confirmed

Brock Lesnar issued an open challenge on Monday Night RAW. The star who answers the challenge will face The Beast at The Showcase of the Immortals. Fans have been speculating about Lesnar’s opponent at the event, and Oba Femi seems to be a massive favorite.

The rumors of a match between Femi and Lesnar sparked after their heated confrontation in the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble Match. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (WON), some insiders feel that WWE is heading in the direction of Lesnar vs. Femi at ‘Mania.

Though nothing is official yet, we still hope that the rumor is true. A potential match against Lesnar would be a great push for The Ruler and allow him to cement his spot in the main event scene.

#2. Hope is not true: Former WWE champion to miss WrestleMania 42

WWE WrestleMania 42 will feature several top stars from RAW and SmackDown. As per a report, Sheamus could miss this year’s Show of Shows due to a real-life injury.

Sources indicated that The Celtic Warrior is currently recovering from an injury. There is no update on his return time frame, which subtly suggests his absence from ‘Mania 42.

We hope the rumor is not true, as Sheamus is one of the best talents WWE has to offer right now. Fans hope the former United States Champion recovers in time for The Showcase of the Immortals.

#1. Hope is not true: Major Triple H backstage trouble

Since Triple H took charge of the creative team as the WWE Chief Content Officer, he has made many wise decisions. However, some of his strategies and ideas have received a lot of criticism from fans.

Usually, when The Game appears on television, he portrays himself as a babyface authority figure. According to a recent report by the Wrestling Observer, someone within the Stamford-based promotion expressed concern about the Hall of Famer’s current on-screen gimmick.

The person thinks The King of Kings should trust his instincts more instead of portraying himself as a babyface authority figure, especially since it’s tough to be a face booker in this era.

We hope the rumor is not true, as it indicates a conflict of interest within the company.

#1. Hope is true: Kevin Owens set for a major evaluation

It’s been a long time since Kevin Owens last competed inside the ring. The Prizefighter is off television due to a real-life injury. As per a report from Bodyslam+, Owens is set for a medical evaluation in the summer of 2026.

If the former Universal Champion is medically cleared, he can finally return to the Stamford-based promotion. Reports also suggest there are several creative ideas for KO if he gets cleared.

We hope the rumor is true, as fans are eagerly waiting for Owens’ return to the company.
