WWE Rumor Roundup – Contiued concerns over Crown Jewel, Jordynne Grace update, new faction on Monday Night Raw & more

Multiple WWE Rumors made headlines.

WWE Crown Jewel 2026 is back in the spotlight after WWE’s Saudi Arabia event faced considerable uncertainty over security concerns and reports of possible changes to the venue. The November 7 Premium Live Event is now moving ahead, with the venue situation clarified and the company continuing preparations for the show.

Meanwhile, John Cena’s return to WWE programming has also become a major talking point among fans as the promotion enters the final stretch of its 2026 schedule.

Alongside these developments, several backstage stories and rumours are attracting attention. Reports surrounding Superstar wrestlers’ willingness to travel to Saudi Arabia, Jordynne Grace’s status with the company, Jake “The Snake” Roberts’ new agreement, and a possible alliance involving Rusev, Big Cass, and Ethan Page have generated discussion. Here is a closer look at the latest WWE rumors and news.

Several WWE stars did not wanted to compete at Crown Jewel

The safety issues that surround Crown Jewel have raised alarm among several of the WWE superstars. In a report published by Fightful Select, several stars, including some of the top stars, informed WWE management that they would not like to be booked for the November 7 show due to the safety situation in the area. Even some of the stars who have been booked for the show have expressed worries over travelling.

This must not, however, be mistaken for confirmed pull-outs from the show. Dave Meltzer had earlier in his report stated that none of the WWE superstars had pulled out of traveling to Saudi Arabia. Some of the superstars that have been mentioned in this context include Kevin Owens and CM Punk, as per news.

The reports indicate that even though the company is proceeding with its plan, the issue of safety during travel has become a touchy one behind the scenes. The president of TKO, Mark Shapiro, has reportedly advised his employees that they will consider pulling back their events if the regional situation worsens.

Jordynne Grace is still with WWE despite recent speculations

Jordynne Grace’s prolonged absence from the wrestling programming had sparked speculation that she might have quietly left the company. However, a recent update has reportedly clarified that the former TNA Knockouts World Champion remains under contract with the company

According to Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, Grace has not departed the promotion. Her social media biographies had attracted attention after fans noticed that they did not mention WWE, but the report indicated that those profiles had not been updated for several months.

Grace has been away from televised programming for months. Her last televised match came on the April 17 episode of SmackDown, where she lost to Tiffany Stratton in a Women’s United States Championship number one contender’s match. She subsequently competed on Main Event and in dark matches. There is currently no confirmed date for her return, leaving fans waiting for an update on her next storyline.

Jake “The Snake” Roberts re-signs with WWE

WWE Hall of Famer “The Snake” Jake Roberts has confirmed that he has signed a new deal with the company following his exit from AEW. The former wrestler broke the news in an interview with Nick Teodoro as part of The Nick Club Wrestling Happy Hour.

Jake Roberts confirmed that he is no longer with AEW and has signed a deal to work for WWE once more. He also indicated that he is currently working on some stuff for the company, though he did not elaborate on the terms of the new deal.

Jake Roberts worked for AEW starting in 2019 and was aligned with Lance Archer for much of the time before joining up with La Facción Ingobernable. He had not appeared on AEW TV since November 2024. Jake Roberts was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014.

Rusev could join Big Cass and Ethan Page in a new WWE stable

A new faction involving Rusev, Big Cass and Ethan Page has been the subject of speculation following reports of a possible alliance between the three Raw heels. The rumour initially emerged through Self Made Pro, which suggested that the trio could form a formal group in the near future. However, the latest update indicates that the idea has not yet been confirmed internally.

According to Fightful Select, none of the three wrestlers had been informed about plans for such a stable as of the previous week. Rusev also dismissed the speculation as “internet booking” during an interview with TMZ Inside the Ring.

Big Cass and Page recently teamed up on Raw, defeating Chad Gable and Dragon Lee, which further fuelled speculation about a potential partnership. Rusev, meanwhile, has been away from television following an injury suffered in July. He has indicated that he is feeling good and waiting for his return. Whether the creative team eventually brings the three together remains to be seen.
