Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.

5) Backstage Note On WWE 2k22

According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select (subscribe here), the original plan for WWE 2k22 was for the game to include a large amount of NXT Superstars. With all of the releases and roster changes that has happened, it is now unclear if that will still happen.

Here is what Sapp wrote:

The plan originally was to include a robust amount of NXT talent, though we’re unsure how many of the new stars will be added.

My Take:

  • I imagine that there are a ton of unhappy employees who work for 2k. Imagine spending all of that time creating characters and then they get released suddenly and you can’t use them anymore.

4) Backstage Note On Roderick Strong’s WWE Future

According to Sean Ross Sapp on Twitter, Roderick Strong signed a new contract with WWE in early 2021. That means he isn’t leaving the company anytime soon.

Here is what Sapp Tweeted:

For those asking, Roderick Strong re-signed with WWE earlier this year

My Take:

  • This is interesting since Kyle O’Reilly is rumored to possibly go to AEW. Looks like there won’t be a full Undisputed Era reunion anytime soon.
