Welcome to the November 12, 2025, edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's WWE News and Rumor Roundup, where we bring you the latest in the world of the sports entertainment juggernaut. Today's roundup includes updates about top stars such as Roman Reigns, Drew McIntyre, and Bianca Belair.

Without any further delay, let's get started:

4. Dominik Mysterio blasts The Judgment Day after losing the Intercontinental Championship

Secret reason behind John Cena's massive win - Watch Here!

The November 11, edition of WWE RAW featured an impromptu Intercontinental Championship match between John Cena and Dominik Mysterio. The Franchise Player finally became a Grand Slam Champion in WWE after defeating Dirty Dom for the title.

In a YouTube Shorts video uploaded by WWE later on, Mysterio questioned where his Judgment Day teammates were while he lost to Cena on RAW:

"I don't understand what happened. Where's Finn? Where's JD? Raquel? Roxanne? Anybody! Anybody! Where is the Judgment Day? Wait! Where is the Judgment Day when you need them huh? Honestly it doesn't even matter. I'm still holding gold."

3. Major statement about Drew McIntyre's suspension from WWE SmackDown

Drew McIntyre was suspended from SmackDown by General Manager Nick Aldis last week on the blue-branded show. Fans speculated that his absence had to do with his role in the movie Highlander. However, McIntyre's Paradigm agent, Nick Piccolo, has posted a strongly worded statement hitting back at the rumors, revealing that the movie does not start shooting till April 2026.

2. Bianca Belair might not be returning to WWE anytime soon

The EST of WWE has been away from the ring since WrestleMania 41, where she injured her fingers during the Triple Threat match for the Women's World Championship against Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky. Belair returned briefly to be the special guest referee for the match between her former tag team partners Jade Cargill and Naomi at Evolution 2025, but has not stepped back into the ring since the Show of Shows in April this year.

In a recent video uploaded on Instagram, fans pointed out that the fingers on her left hand were still swollen. As a result, it might still be a while before we get to see the former Women's Champion back in the ring again.

1. Possible backstage tension involving Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns has not been on WWE programming since losing to Bronson Reed at Crown Jewel 2025. With Survivor Series on the horizon, fans have started to anticipate the Tribal Chief's return for the last of the 'Big Four' premium live events of the year. However, there is reportedly some backstage tension about his involvement in the upcoming WarGames match.

This past week on RAW, Cody Rhodes backed up CM Punk and Jey Uso against The Vision, and a backstage segment seemingly confirmed that The American Nightmare would be part of the WarGames Match this year. Reigns' issues with The Vision are well documented and he is also expected to return to battle his former's Wiseman's faction.

However, according to Ibou of Self Made, some people backstage do not want Reigns and Rhodes to be on the same team unless they can have a third match down the line. The OTC is expected to return next week when RAW takes place in MSG, and it remains to be seen whether he indeed joins CM Punk's team for WarGames this year.
