3 WWE Rumors we hope are true and 3 we hope aren’t

Welcome to another edition of WWE rumors we hope are true, and we hope aren't. The Stamford-based promotion recently concluded Survivor Series: WarGames 2025 and is now moving towards Saturday Night's Main Event, which centers on John Cena's final match.

Besides this, WWE has also dropped hints about a massive WrestleMania 42 showdown and introduced a mystery attacker in the Men's WarGames match. In this article, we will discuss three WWE rumors we hope are true, and 3 we hope aren't.

#3. Hoping it's true: Austin Theory was the masked man at WarGames

10 Shocking Injuries That Destroyed WWE Stars - Watch Here!

A mysterious guy in a black hoodie attacked CM Punk at Survivor Series, executing a curb stomp. This attack helped Team Vision defeat Team Punk in the WarGames match. However, despite the use of Seth Rollins' signature move, reports indicated that Austin Theory was the person behind the mask.

Earlier, the A-Town Down star was rumored to be part of Team Vision in the WarGames match, but the plans changed drastically. We hope it is true and that Theory is the person behind the mask, as it would be a great way to bring him back to television.

#3. Hoping it's not true: Big WWE names not happy with Gunther vs John Cena at SNME

The upcoming Saturday Night's Main Event will feature John Cena's final match. The Franchise Player will lock horns against the winner of Gunther vs LA Knight in the Last Time is Now tournament match. There are high chances that the Ring General will secure victory in this showdown.

Meanwhile, a source revealed that many big names at the company are unhappy with the former World Champion being Cena's final opponent. We hope the rumor is not true, as Gunther vs. Cena is a dream showdown in the making.

Additionally, the former Imperium Leader has proved himself time and time again and deserves to get a major opportunity against Cena.

#2. Hoping it's true: Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes Part 3

Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes had a heated face-off after losing the Men's WarGames match. Following this, reports disclosed that WWE is planning for a third chapter between Reigns and Rhodes as both are expected to compete at next year's Showcase of Immortals for the Undisputed Title.

We hope that the rumor is true, as Cody vs Roman is one of the biggest rivalries of the modern era. Their rematch will not only attract big numbers for the company but also make the road to Mania interesting to watch.

#2. Hope it's not true: CM Punk vs Bron Breakker at WrestleMania 42

Bron Breakker pinned CM Punk in the Survivor Series: WarGames 2025 match. Considering this, he earned a World title match against the Voice of the Voiceless on the January 5, 2026 edition of WWE RAW. Despite getting a title match in the first episode of RAW in 2026, reports revealed that a match between Bron and Punk is expected to happen at Shows of the Shows 2026.

We hope the rumor is not true, as WWE must book CM Punk in a high-profile match and needs to leverage his star power to make the show even bigger. Instead of Breakker, Brock Lesnar could be a great option as a WrestleMania opponent.

#1. Hope it's true: Jacob Fatu's WWE return is close

Jacob Fatu was mysteriously taken out backstage on SmackDown, but in reality, the star was suffering from some real-life dental issue. Reports affirmed that the Samoan Werewolf is getting closer to his in-ring comeback and will soon recover after his dental procedure.

We hope that the rumor is true, as Jacob's return will lead to the mystery attack getting investigated, and we may get a major feud on the road to Royal Rumble 2026.

#1. Hope it's not true: No sign for Dean Ambrose's WWE return

When the mystery attacker emerged at Survivor Series, few predicted that it could be Jon Moxley, FKA Dean Ambrose. It's been a long time since Moxley has appeared in the World Wrestling Entertainment. Despite this, reports debunked all the speculations and confirmed that it's not happening.

Further, it is revealed that Moxley will remain with AEW until 2027. We hope that the rumor is not true, as the return of Dean Ambrose is something almost everyone wanted to see. However, the sources' words suggest there is no sign of Ambrose's WWE return.
