WWE Shockwaves: Chris Jericho “Already Agreed” to Return, Oba Femi’s Mega Push & WrestleMania 42 Plans Leak
The pro wrestling rumor mill is on fire again — and today’s WWE and AEW buzz is packed with potential game-changers. From a shocking Chris Jericho update to major WrestleMania 42 plans quietly taking shape, here’s everything fans are talking about right now.
As always, remember: these are rumors, not confirmed facts. Take them with caution.
Chris Jericho WWE Return Closer Than Anyone Expected?
According to Final Bell Media’s Andrew Baydala, Chris Jericho has already agreed to make a return to WWE. While details remain unclear, the situation gets even more interesting — sources also say Jericho is very interested in working with TNA.
That has fueled speculation that Jericho could make a surprise appearance on the premiere episode of Thursday Night Impact on AMC next week, setting the stage for one of the most unpredictable crossover moments in years.
Oba Femi Headed to Raw After NXT Title Exit
Multiple reports suggest that Oba Femi’s move to the Raw roster is imminent after vacating the NXT Championship this week. Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp reports that WWE deliberately chose not to have Femi lose the title to protect him ahead of the call-up.
Behind the scenes, WWE reportedly sees Femi as a major future star — and they’re treating him accordingly.
WrestleMania 42 Plans Already In Motion for Oba Femi
WrestleVotes adds that WWE already has plans to push Oba Femi near the top of the Raw card, with expectations that he will be prominently featured at WrestleMania 42. If true, this signals massive confidence in Femi as a long-term main event player.
Backstage Confusion Over Je’Von Evans Call-Up
One intriguing note from WrestleVotes reveals that several people backstage were confused by Je’Von Evans’ official call-up happening during a Raw commercial break.
The belief is that WWE is experimenting with a stronger focus on online-exclusive content, and Evans’ call-up may have been intentionally handled that way as part of a broader digital strategy.
WWE Interested in NJPW Star David Finlay
WWE is reportedly keeping a close eye on David Finlay. According to sources, internal discussions have taken place about signing the NJPW star once his contract expires, with initial plans potentially placing him in NXT.
AEW Used Real Cinder Blocks on Dynamite
In a wild AEW note, Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Radio claims that legitimate cinder blocks were used during Powerhouse Hobbs’ powerslam and Hangman Page’s Deadeye in the Lights Out match on Dynamite — adding a very real layer of danger to an already brutal bout.
These rumors could reshape WWE and AEW storylines in a big way if even half of them come true. Until then, keep the speculation rolling — and take everything with a grain of salt.
