When it comes to wrestling, speculating about the latest rumors is almost as thrilling as watching the matches themselves. In this daily piece, we dive into the freshest whispers circulating the pro wrestling community.
Here’s a crucial tip: remember, these are just rumors. Nothing here is set in stone, and all comes from the backend chatter in the wrestling circuit.

Today’s Rumor Highlights:

- There was chatter regarding Knight potentially being punished for holding up a fan sign that read “we want LA Knight, not Jey Uso” at a past show in October. However, Fightful insists that creative teams have outright dismissed this idea, with one individual humorously suggesting that booking Knight against Jey Uso would actually be ‘an odd form of punishment.’
- According to BodySlam.net, WWE officials are pleased with what they’ve seen from Lash Legend since her transition to the main roster. It’s reported that her partnership with Nia Jax is aimed at quickly bringing her up to speed with the talents at the main level, as they believe Legend’s going to have a breakout year as we advance toward 2026.
- As for the betting odds, sites like BetOnline show GUNTHER, Cody Rhodes, and Sol Ruca leading in their respective match-ups this Saturday, although the odds have shifted since they were first released on Monday. AJ Styles and Dragon Lee are now favorites against Je’Von Evans and Leon Slater.
