Welcome to the latest edition of WWE rumors we hope are true, and we hope aren't. As we inch toward the Royal Rumble 2026 Premium Live Event, major rumors and speculation have emerged on the internet.

#5. Hope true: The Street Profits not leaving WWE

Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford are notably absent from the Stamford-based promotion. Their absence has raised concerns among fans, and rumors have circulated that they may be leaving the company soon. However, in a recent report, Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp addressed the rumors and confirmed they are false.

The source also added that there is no sign that Profits are leaving WWE once their contracts expire. We hope the rumor is true, as Montez and Angelo are a great tag team, and Triple H shouldn't let them go.

#4. Hope not true: Former Divas Champion not returning at Royal Rumble 2026

The Royal Rumble Premium Live Event is all about surprise returns and unexpected comebacks in World Wrestling Entertainment. Meanwhile, reports indicate that veteran star Kaitlyn is not rumored to make a return at the Royal Rumble 2026.

This means the former Divas Champion is unlikely to be part of the Women's Rumble match. We hope the rumor is not true, as Kaitlyn's presence in the traditional Women's Rumble match will make it more legendary to watch.

#3. Hope true: Popular AEW star coming to NXT soon

AEW star Danhausen is expected to make his WWE arrival in 2026. Sources say his contract with Tony Khan's promotion will expire in February 2026. According to an update, the Triple H creative regime is interested in bringing Danhausen to the company, and he is expected to be part of NXT brand.

We hope the rumor is true, as he will not merely be a great addition to the black and silver brand, but if he performs well, WWE will soon bring him to the main roster.

#2. Hope not true: Roman Reigns' new WrestleMania opponent potentially revealed

Earlier, Roman Reigns was expected to face Seth Rollins, and many believed WrestleMania 42 could be the ideal spot. However, due to The Visionary's real-life injury, plans changed in a major way.

According to a report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (WON), the OTC is now anticipated to face Cody Rhodes at next year's Showcase of the Immortals. The company has already hinted at their feud at the end of Survivor Series: WarGames.

We hope the rumor is not true, as the Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns match could be saved for SummerSlam next year. Triple H should consider putting them in a fresh 'Mania match to generate more buzz.

#1. Hope true: WWE is never allowing a legendary star to compete

Over the past few months, we have seen major veteran stars competing in the squared circle, including Goldberg. Recently, veteran star Jerry Lawler claimed he has one more match left in him.

Despite this, reports revealed that there is a 'zero chance' WWE will allow Jerry to return to the squared circle. We hope the rumor is true because Lawler's health and age are major risk factors in this scenario.
