Backlash took place this past weekend, but we're already on the road to Saturday Night's Main Event. Looking beyond that, it's going to be a jam-packed year for WWE, and we have some big rumours to share with you today.
That includes another Evolution PLE, WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg's last match, CM Punk being at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, and more.
We also have a pretty bold claim about Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena reuniting with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and news on Tiffany Stratton's reign as WWE Women's Champion.
You can check out the latest WWE rumours below...
- PWInsider.com reveals that John Cena vs. CM Punk isn't scheduled to take place at Money in the Bank. Instead, the Leader of the Cenation is expected to team up with rapper Travis Scott, though there's no word on who they'll face.
- Former WWE interviewer and commentator Jonathan Coachman has claimed that he "has it on good authority" that John Cena and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will cross paths before the summer is over.
- According to @WrestleVotes, WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg's name "has been floated internally within WWE over the past week." That hasn't been the case since his surprise return at Bad Blood, so his retirement match may be imminent.
- Fightful Select believes former World Heavyweight Champion Gunther will be Goldberg's final opponent.
- @WrestleVotes has heard that WWE intends to reunite Penta and Rey Fenix as The Lucha Bros.
- WWE may finally be moving forward with Evolution 2, according to PW Insider Elite. The all-female PLE is currently scheduled for July 12 or 13 in Atlanta, the same day AEW All In Texas takes place. If it's the latter, Saturday Night's Main Event would likely take place the day before.
- There's also a Fanatics job listing looking for "WWE Retail Event Associate - Evolution - Atlanta," likely confirming the validity of this claim.
- CM Punk is indeed expected to work Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, despite being opposed to the country's practices in the past. Dave Meltzer believes that "guys have the option to go but they are pressured to go, like pretty hard."
- He's also shared that the reason Becky Lynch lost to Women's Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria at Backlash was to help elevate the rising star. However, a title change could still take place somewhere down the line.
- We've heard that, while Nia Jax will be Tiffany Stratton's next challenger for the WWE Women's Championship, Tiffy is going to retain the title. The company views her as its next top female star and someone the women's division on SmackDown can be built around.
