We're less than a month away from this year's WrestleMania, and the rumours are flying in thick and fast. WWE's plans for the Show of Shows are taking shape, but 2027's PLE—which is scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia—may be at risk.
We also have updates on plans for several Superstars, including Royce Keys, Finn Balor, and Je'Von Evans, along with news on Night of Champions and exactly how much attention WWE is paying to AEW.
Check out this latest rumour roundup (and be warned that lots of potential spoilers follow) below.
- According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, a Hell in a Cell match pitting Cody Rhodes against Roman Reigns was "heavily discussed" for WrestleMania 42. Seth Rollins' injury may have derailed those plans, and multiple ideas were thrown around before the company committed to Rhodes vs. Randy Orton.
- WWE remains optimistic that Bron Breakker will be back in time for the Show of Shows, reports WrestleVotes. There are backup plans in place just in case he isn't healed up in time.
- Tonight's SmackDown will see Drew McIntyre and Jacob Fatu finally go one-on-one after a months-long feud. Dave Meltzer says that the plan is still for them to clash at WrestleMania this April.
- Self Made Pro reveals that Je'Von Evans is being lined up for a spot in the multi-man match that's planned for Penta's Intercontinental Championship on the Grandest Stage of Them All.
- Unsurprisingly, the outlet has learned that this summer's Night of Champions PLE will not take place in Saudi Arabia as planned due to Israel and the USA's war with Iran. With no end to the conflict in sight, WrestleMania 43 may be in jeopardy.
- Despite speculation to the contrary, Dave Meltzer has said that there are no plans for former AEW star Powerhouse Hobbs, now Royce Keys, to tag with Jelly Roll against The Miz and Kit Wilson at WrestleMania. However, something is being planned for the musician.
- Keys hasn't been seen on television since his Royal Rumble debut. Fightful has learned that he started on the main roster rather than heading to NXT because he negotiated it into his contract. As of now, though, it seems there are no creative plans for him.
- WrestleVotes has learned that people in WWE are employed specifically to "watch AEW programming and report into analytics and different departments on what’s going on in AEW." They even have AEW action figures on their desks.
- WWE reportedly considered booking Finn Balor vs. Dominik Mysterio for last year's SummerSlam, with the idea being for "The Demon" to return. The match was delayed because "the Judgment Day direction was still hot," and there are now rumblings bout it happening at WrestleMania this April instead.
- It's said that WWE is very impressed with how well Danhausen managed to bounce back from his underwhelming Elimination Chamber debut. Merchandise for the former AEW star also appears to be doing well, as eight new trademarks have just been filed that include "Girlhausen," "Ghoulhausen," "Kidhausen," and "Kid-Hausen."
