Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) Possible Women’s Royal Rumble Surprise (Part 1)
According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select (subscribe here), there is a belief within WWE that Asuka could return at the Royal Rumble. This hasn’t been confirmed but something that is being discussed.
Here is what Sapp wrote:
“There are several talent within WWE that are of the belief Asuka will make her return at the WWE Royal Rumble, though Fightful has been unable to confirm that. As is usually the case during Royal Rumble week, WWE is tight lipped or not responsive to inquiries about potential surprises or returns. We can confirm, however, that her name was at least discussed internally as a potential Royal Rumble entrant.
Asuka has not appeared on WWE television since WWE Money in the Bank way back in July, which was her only WWE match since the brand returned to live event touring in 2021. She’d been battling an injury since then, with few if any updates filtering in about her status despite numerous inquiries. We’ve not heard if she’s been cleared or not, outside of the fact that her name was pitched internally.”
My Take:
- It will be great to see Asuka back. I have missed her.
4) Backstage Note On Veer
According to Mike Johnson of PWinsider, WWE is not planning for Veer to be in the men’s Royal Rumble match.
Here is what Johnson wrote:
“After speaking to several sources in WWE Creative, we are told that as of today, there are zero plans for Veer in the Rumble. Unless there is a last second change, he is not currently even planned to appear on the show, much less the Rumble match.”
My Take:
- Veer has been ‘coming soon’ to RAW for months now. What is the damn hold up?
