In today’s wrestling news and rumors, we kick things off with a major rumor about WWE’s plans for The Fiend Bray Wyatt following his Universal Championship loss to Roman Reigns at the Payback 2020 pay-per-view event.
As discussed in previous videos,
there’s a strong consensus behind the scenes that Vince McMahon is planning for The Fiend to introduce a new Wyatt Family soon.
Rumored members include Alexa Bliss portraying the Sister Abigail character,
Braun Strowman rejoining with his black sheep mask and persona, a returning Lars Sullivan as a new member, and possibly Bo Dallas if he isn’t part of the Retribution faction. This speculation has excited many fans, anticipating a dominant new faction on Friday Night SmackDown.
According to our sources, McMahon is already planning The Fiend’s first feud post-Braun Strowman, which promises to be very exciting. Current Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy, known for his terrifying Willow persona in TNA Impact Wrestling, may finally bring this character to WWE. Vince McMahon and WWE officials are reportedly more interested than ever in introducing Willow Jeff Hardy to WWE, positioning him as The Fiend’s rival for the next few months on SmackDown. This feud would not only highlight their supernatural personas but also involve the Intercontinental Championship.
One source mentioned that Vince believes this storyline could greatly increase interest in the mid-card IC title scene, drawing significant ratings. Additionally, The Fiend would have his new Wyatt Family by his side during this rivalry. Jeff Hardy himself expressed interest in bringing the Willow character to WWE to feud with The Fiend, subtly teasing this intense rivalry.
A new backstage rumor suggests Vince is planning for The Fiend to defeat Willow Jeff Hardy and win the Intercontinental Championship, with the help of his Wyatt Family members. However, this wouldn’t be the end for Willow Jeff Hardy in WWE. The rumor states that Willow Jeff Hardy would then join The Fiend’s Wyatt Family, solidifying this faction as the most powerful in WWE. Jeff is reportedly very interested in working with The Fiend in a major storyline and becoming one of The Fiend’s loyal followers as Willow.
Would you be interested in seeing a rivalry between The Fiend Bray Wyatt and Willow Jeff Hardy? And would you like to see Willow Jeff Hardy join The Fiend’s new Wyatt Family after losing the feud? Or should WWE keep The Fiend and Willow separate, even if The Fiend wins the Intercontinental title?
Kurt Angle’s WWE Release and AEW Rumors
Earlier this year, WWE released several superstars due to budget cuts, including Hall of Famer Kurt Angle. Despite his age, Angle still had much to offer, potentially as a manager or occasional TV appearance. However, WWE has made no effort to re-sign him.
Recent rumors indicate that AEW is interested in signing Kurt Angle. Although Angle mentioned in an interview that he’s content with his supplement business, sources say AEW sees potential in him as a manager and occasional in-ring talent. Given Vince McMahon’s lack of interest in re-signing Angle, a debut in AEW is reportedly very likely early next year.
Do you think Vince is making a mistake by not trying to bring Kurt Angle back? Would you consider Angle a valuable addition to the AEW roster?
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Rumored WWE Return
Our main story today revolves around rumors of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s possible return to WWE for one final feud before retiring from sports entertainment. While many fans consider The Rock retired, he has expressed willingness to return for a big feud against his cousin Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.
A new rumor suggests McMahon is close to moving forward with the Reigns vs. Rock feud, now that Reigns is a monstrous heel. The storyline would begin with Reigns alienating his cousins, The Usos, forming a new Shield faction, and eventually turning on them under Paul Heyman’s influence. This would garner significant heat for Reigns, setting the stage for The Rock’s return to confront Reigns for losing sight of family values.
The feud would culminate at WrestleMania 37, with Roman Reigns defending his Universal Championship against The Rock in the main event. McMahon believes this match would make WrestleMania a must-see event next year.
Let us know if you’re excited about the potential Reigns vs. Rock feud and what you think about these latest WWE rumors.
