Lead rumor: Solo Sikoa rules Solo Sikoa has not so quietly become an absolute force of a character on WWE television, not by being too much like Roman Reigns or working the Street Fighter gimmick he used to work down in NXT. No, he’s gotten himself over huge as a charismatic goofball making everyone around him laugh. That goes for everyone backstage too, says WrestleVotes, who notes that he is widely considered the funniest guy in the locker room and “everyone backstage really likes that he’s getting the opportunity to show his personality.” There’s already been talk of more of a push coming for Sikoa as we move further into 2026, and why not? We need more than just the same few names at the top of the card. If Solo keeps gaining support for simply being himself on WWE television, the sky is the limit. Right?!? Other rumors floating around Per Fightful Select, MJF has “major influence over the programs that he’s in, and contributes creatively in some other regards.” They also note this has been well known for some time. La Catalina is expected to be at the Performance Center this week, says PW Insider, but they aren’t clear if that means she’s going to end up in NXT anytime soon. For what it’s worth, Andrade posted to his X that he has to be out of action “for a few days or weeks” due to an injury after Grand Slam. Fightful says there is a 99.9-percent chance Brock Rechsteiner, the son of pro wrestling legend Scott Steiner, will be offered a deal by WWE when his NFL career is over. Join in on the fun, y’all.
