Roman Reigns vs LA Knight set to main-event Money in the Bank
There are reports that there would be a match between Roman Reigns, defending his World Heavyweight Championship title, and LA Knight ending the WWE Money in the Bank 2026 pay-per-view show.
This, according to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, would take place on October 10th at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The match would be a very big deal considering it would be the chance for Knight to dethrone one of WWE’s biggest stars from his champion spot. On the other hand, Reigns would be defending his title against an arrogant yet crowd-pulling wrestler.
Furthermore, their recent encounter on Raw has reportedly received positive reviews. WrestleVotes Radio noted that the WWE officials were impressed by Reigns’ emotional reaction during the match.
Drew McIntyre could return to WWE Raw
Drew McIntyre‘s potential WWE comeback is another major talking point, with new reports suggesting that the Scottish Warrior could return as part of the Raw roster rather than SmackDown.
According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, the promotion has discussed ideas for McIntyre’s return to television, including placing him on Monday Night Raw. The report also noted that creative plans for his comeback were in place in late August before the company changed direction.
McIntyre’s absence has left fans wondering how WWE intends to reintroduce the former world champion. A move to Raw could provide fresh opportunities for rivalries with the brand’s established main-event stars and its emerging talent.
The Scottish Warrior has also been involved in outside projects, including filming the Highlander reboot and The Last Druid. His commitments outside the ring have added another layer to speculation surrounding his return.
WWE wants to keep Enzo Amore and Big Cass apart
The possibility of an Enzo Amore and Big Cass reunion has generated considerable discussion since Cass returned to WWE programming. However, the latest backstage report suggests that the company may be concerned about how a reunion could affect Cass’s current direction.
Some members of WWE’s creative team believe audiences are waiting for Amore to return, potentially making it harder to establish Cass as a singles performer. The report also stressed that this view is not unanimous within the company.
The duo previously gained popularity as a tag team through their entertaining promos and distinctive personalities. Their reunion would likely attract attention, but the promotion may want Cass to establish himself independently before considering that direction.
Dave Meltzer previously reported that the original idea had been to keep the two apart, with Amore potentially returning through NXT instead of immediately joining the main roster. However, no official comeback plans have been announced.
WWE Crown Jewel venue under scrutiny amid security concerns
With questions on the possible WrestleMania 43 dates and venue, the other PLE, WWE Crown Jewel 2026, faces enormous uncertainties. According to the schedule so far, Crown Jewel is set to take place on November 7 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, at the Riyadh Season Stadium at KAFD.
The official announcement was made by the WWE in September, but recent security issues within the region have led to new inquiries on whether the Crown Jewel will take place as expected.
From what was gathered from various wrestling news sources, there was a security alert raised by the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia, which advised American citizens to be more careful due to possible threats to the airports and airspace. The alert also stated that there could be potential flight cancellations and disruptions.
Nevertheless, WWE has yet to make an announcement regarding changes to the venue or the date of the event. As of October 8, Riyadh continues to be the confirmed destination.
