WWE Rumor Roundup: Cena & The Rock Reunion, Draft Plans, NXT Expansion & More!

Speculating about pro wrestling rumors is almost as fun as watching the matches unfold live. Each day, the rumor mill churns out fresh scoops, predictions, and potential surprises, leaving fans both excited and skeptical. In this daily roundup, we dive into the latest rumors that are stirring excitement across the WWE Universe.

⚠️ Important Reminder: These are rumors – not confirmed news. They could turn out to be true, partially true, or entirely off the mark. That’s why we revisit the accuracy in our weekly Rumor Look Back series.

🔥 Cena vs. Rock 2025? A Mega-Showdown on the Horizon?

In what could be the biggest WWE moment of the year, Jonathan Coachman dropped a bombshell on The Coach & Bro Show. He claimed that he “has it on good authority” that John Cena and The Rock will cross paths before the end of the summer.

If this turns out to be true, we could be looking at a WrestleMania 28 rematch—or at least a major confrontation—possibly building up to a match at WrestleMania 41. Both megastars appearing together would electrify the crowd and shatter viewership records. Could this be WWE’s biggest summer swerve?

📺 WWE PLEs to Air on Multiple Platforms?

At the JP Morgan Conference, TKO President Mark Shapiro hinted at WWE keeping its options open for Premium Live Event (PLE) distribution. While Peacock holds the U.S. streaming rights for now, future events might be distributed across multiple platforms.

This could mean global fans may have more ways to stream their favorite WWE events without being tied to a single service. It’s an evolving media landscape, and WWE appears ready to pivot wherever the viewership is strongest.

📋 WWE Draft Likely on Memorial Day Weekend in Tampa

According to Wrestling Observer Radio, the WWE Draft 2025 could happen during Memorial Day weekend as part of a takeover in Tampa, Florida.

While not officially confirmed, Bryan Alvarez noted it’s “very likely” that the Draft will take place then. If it happens, expect major brand shake-ups with top stars possibly switching between Raw, SmackDown, and NXT.

💫 Liv Morgan Could Return to Raw Next Week

Per Fightful, there’s a possibility that Liv Morgan might return to Monday Night Raw next week. The fan-favorite has been absent due to undisclosed reasons, but her return could inject new energy into the women’s division.

While WWE hasn’t officially announced her comeback, the speculation alone has the Liv Squad buzzing on social media. Stay tuned—this could be the return fans have been waiting for.

📡 NXT Expansion on the Horizon?

In an interview with Variety, CW Network President Brad Schwartz hinted at more NXT programming possibly coming to the CW Network.

WWE has already confirmed NXT’s move to CW in 2024, but Schwartz’s comments suggest that spin-offs or supplementary content—like NXT Europe or documentary-style specials—could be part of the package. It’s a big boost for the developmental brand, offering more spotlight to rising stars.
