Pro wrestling fans love speculating about the latest rumors, and we've got the scoop on the hottest topics. But here's where it gets controversial... some of these rumors might just be wishful thinking. Let's dive in!
The rumor mill is churning out news about Powerhouse Hobbs potentially leaving AEW for WWE. Wrestling Observer Radio's Dave Meltzer claims WWE was confident months ago that Hobbs would make the jump. But insiders say AEW President Tony Khan was caught off guard, and it's unclear if bridges were burned.
If Hobbs does make the move, it might be a smart career choice. WWE seems to be heavily recruiting bodybuilders, and they could use a big, muscular presence.
Other rumors include CM Punk narrating WWE 2K26's Showcase mode, exploring a "what if" scenario where he didn't walk out in 2014. And AJ Styles might be working a TNA match before retiring this year, according to sources.
On the business side, WWE is shaking up Raw's format on Netflix, reducing commercial breaks starting January 12. And TNA is expecting a significant roster shift now that Impact airs on AMC, aiming to freshen up the product.
Some notable departures include The IInspiration (Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee) leaving TNA after losing the Knockouts tag team titles on Impact's AMC debut.
