WWE Rumours We Hope Are True And Some We Hope Aren’t

But with big moments also come big rumors. Some sound exciting and could make WWE even better, while others could hurt the momentum if true. Let’s break down six recent rumors three we hope turn out true and three we hope stay false.

Hope True: CM Punk is not injured after RAW

On this week’s RAW, CM Punk had a tense face-off with Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch, alongside AJ Lee. While leaving the ring during the break, Punk landed awkwardly on the apron, which worried fans about a possible back injury.

Thankfully, reports now suggest he’s perfectly fine. This is good news because an injury to Punk right before Wrestlepalooza would have been a major setback. We hope this report is true, as WWE needs Punk healthy for the big event.

Hope Not True: Randy Orton’s Wrestlepalooza plans in doubt

Youngest WWE RAW Superstars Who Headlined Main Event Matches — Randy Orton

Randy Orton is one of WWE’s biggest names, but rumors claim his role at Wrestlepalooza may be unclear. He’s already confirmed to face Drew McIntyre on SmackDown, but that might mean their match won’t happen at the Premium Live Event.

With Cody Rhodes confirmed for the show, fans are unsure if Orton will get a spot. We hope this rumor is false. A rematch between Orton and McIntyre at Wrestlepalooza would be a blockbuster that fans want to see.

Hope True: More superstar returns coming soon

After shocking comebacks like Brock Lesnar and AJ Lee, the excitement around WWE is at an all-time high. Reports say even more returns are on the way in the coming weeks.

If this is true, WWE could see its storylines get a huge boost. Surprises and shock appearances are what keep fans hooked, and more big returns will make Wrestlepalooza even more must-watch.

Hope Not True: Stephanie McMahon in hot water

Stephanie McMahon may no longer be a regular on WWE TV, but she still connects with fans through her podcast. Recently, she mentioned using a VPN to watch WWE on Netflix without ads, which reportedly upset ESPN officials.

We hope this rumor isn’t true. Stephanie was likely doing a sponsorship deal, and it doesn’t make sense for her comments to create major problems with ESPN or WWE’s partners.

Hope True: Wade Barrett preparing for an in-ring return

Wade Barrett has stepped away from commentary on RAW and SmackDown, with Corey Graves and Michael Cole taking over. At first, fans thought it was because of some backstage issues, but new reports suggest it’s actually part of a bigger plan.

Many now believe Barrett could be gearing up for one final in-ring run. If that’s true, it would be a special moment for longtime fans who want to see him wrestle again before retirement.

Hope Not True: WrestleMania 43 heading to Saudi Arabia

One of the biggest rumors making rounds is that WrestleMania 43 could take place in Saudi Arabia in 2027. A press release and social media post fueled this story, though they were later deleted.

While WWE has held several big events there, hosting WrestleMania overseas has sparked mixed reactions. We hope this rumor is false, as the Grandest Stage of Them All belongs in front of the worldwide fanbase in locations like New York, Los Angeles, or London.
