Gunther and LA Knight will face each other in the finals of this tournament.However, during a recent edition of the All Axxess podcast, John Cena's father said that he doesn't want either Gunther or LA Knight as his son's last opponent. Instead, Cena Sr. wants Hall of Famer Kurt Angle to come out of retirement to face The GOAT."I really wish that Kurt Angle was able to get back in the ring, because that would be an outstanding last match for Cena and Angle. And I say this all the time, I really truly believe that [Baron] Corbin should not have been Angle’s opponent for his retirement match — it should have been Cena."#4.

I would enjoy that. This Monday, I sat for the girls’ match with the headset. I’ve done it a few times. I produced stuff in NXT. It’s very hard. I don’t know if I’d be a good producer right now. I see myself more as a coach or, if I were to open a school," she said.The former Damage CTRL member added that she would love to produce Roxanne Perez's match one day.#3.

WWE wants to put a title on Brock Lesnar in 2026Brock Lesnar has returned to WWE TV in 2025 with a bang. This year, The Beast Incarnate has put on some incredible performances inside the ring, including his latest participation in the Men's Survivor Series: WarGames Match.Sources within WWE have informed Sportskeeda that the Triple H-led creative team have big plans for Lesnar in 2026 as they are looking to put a major championship on the legend next year. However, this is just an idea, and nothing has been officially confirmed yet."So there are whispers right now about the plan for Brock. He's not gonna be on TV for a bit, but when he's back, he's gonna be explosively back. Apparently, a big championship could be in the works for next year, but that's still just a very slight idea. They may not push for that, because the idea is that he does not need a championship, really, right? But 2026 is looking like a big year for him, both for who he faces and who he loses to."#1.
