WWE News and Rumors: Stone Cold, Seth Rollins, and Jacob Fatu
The WWE Universe is abuzz with the latest news and rumors, and we’re here to catch you up on all the action. From Stone Cold Steve Austin’s potential return to the ring to Seth Rollins’ title stripping and Jacob Fatu’s expected return timeline, there’s a lot to discuss.
Stone Cold Steve Austin Not in Talks for WrestleMania 42
According to Fightful Select, there is no indication that WWE and Hall of Fame Superstar Stone Cold Steve Austin have had talks regarding a match at WrestleMania 42 next year. This comes as a surprise, given Austin’s comments during WrestleMania 41 weekend that he might “have one left in him.” However, it seems that those comments have not led to anything concrete for this coming WrestleMania in April.
Austin, now 60 years old, will be 61 by the time WrestleMania 42 rolls around, which has sparked speculation about his in-ring days being behind him. Despite this, it’s likely that speculation will continue to run rampant about a potential match at WrestleMania 43, which will take place in Saudi Arabia.
Seth Rollins Stripped of World Heavyweight Championship
Seth Rollins was forced to vacate the World Heavyweight Championship on Monday night’s episode of Raw, due to a legitimate injury suffered during his match against Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel. According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, Rollins required surgery, and the exact severity of the injury would not be known until the surgery was done.
The segment in which Rollins was stripped of the title reportedly played out differently than originally intended, with several “late changes” made to the script. The final product saw general manager Adam Pearce announcing that Rollins had been stripped of the title due to his injury, and Bron Breakker, Reed, and Paul Heyman interrupting the announcement.
Jacob Fatu’s Expected Return Timeline
Jacob Fatu may be back in time for WWE’s next premium live event, despite requiring surgery involving his teeth. According to Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Live, the expectation is that Fatu will be back in time for Survivor Series weekend in late November.
This news comes after Fatu was laid out on last week’s episode of SmackDown, with a pool of blood and teeth on the floor next to him. The angle played out with Drew McIntyre facing Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship, and it’s likely that Fatu will return to action soon.
