Roman Reigns' Contract Update: Is the Tribal Chief gearing up for the comeback or busy doing Hollywood movies?
रोमन रेंस Roman Reigns has been a marquee attraction for WWE for more than a decade. The Tribal Chief did not have the best WrestleMania season this year. He lost in the main event of WrestleMania 41 and was betrayed by his Wiseman, Seth Rollins. Moreover, Reigns has been off television for months now, and his contract status has reportedly become clearer. This has led to a discussion about whether he will make his return to WWE or focus his energies on outside projects. What is the latest update on Roman Reigns' WWE contract? Former WWE announcer Jonathan Coachman stated that TKO Group Holdings had approached Roman Reigns to renegotiate his current deal, which paid him a lot of money. However, Dave Meltzer ended the speculation with his report claiming that Reigns was not asked to take a pay cut and is still one of the highest-paid WWE performers today. The report, 'As far as income goes, there are seven WWE performers earning well over $5 million per year, with two others potentially reaching that mark this year. Apart from The Rock, Roman Reigns is the top earner. The stories from Jonathan Coachman about TKO asking Reigns for a pay cut or contract restructuring are false.' While Roman Reigns is a part-time performer and makes limited appearances, each one of them draws record viewership and attendance for shows. This drawing power has made him one of the biggest WWE superstars of all time. Will Roman Reigns return to WWE after bagging a major Hollywood project? After a few weeks of speculation, Roman Reigns was confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter to be playing the role of Akuma in the live-action version of Street Fighter. The report also added that the shooting would take place in Australia in August. Moreover, an update by WrestleVotes stated that Reigns is expected to return to WWE for the buildup of SummerSlam. His feud is reportedly going to be against Seth Rollins, continuing their rivalry from the events of WrestleMania 41. So it is expected that Reigns will finish his WWE commitments leading up to SummerSlam, taking place on August 2nd and 3rd at MetLife Stadium. Following that, he is likely to take time off to begin filming for Street Fighter, which will be one of his major Hollywood projects to date and would present The OTC in a different way on the silver screen for the audience.

WWE legend Bill Goldberg is set to play his final match against Gunther on July 12, 2025. The highly anticipated showdown will take place at the Saturday Night's Main Event in Atlanta, Georgia. Ahead of the clash, Goldberg made a bold statement about Gunther. Bill Goldberg, WWE legend, and one of the most memorable people ever to wrestle has announced that he is retiring in 2025. It has been officially stated that the company will give his farewell match against the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther. Even though speculations have been made by fans of a potential comeback and a showdown, the confirmation has shed light and excitement to the endgame of Goldberg. At Saturday Night Main Event, on July 12, 2025, in Atlanta, Georgia, a perfect place since Goldberg has connections to the city. Goldberg and Gunther will face off. This game will be the crown of the event and it is the endpoint of a great career. The fight may end up being the most watched of the year, bearing in mind the legacy of the two fighters. In case Goldberg can overcome Gunther, he will be the oldest WWE World Champion (58 years old) in history. Goldberg is still a fan favorite in spite of his age and could go out with one more big moment in his final appearance. WWE under the TKO Group Holdings umbrella announced the ticket sale of the Saturday Night Main Event, to commence Wednesday, June 25 at 10 AM ETR/ 7 AM PTR, in a press release. Other than a reassurance that Goldberg had indeed made an appearance at the show (which culminated into what was his last match), the release also hence publicized another major event, one by the name of Evolution, which is set to take place on the following Sunday, July 13. Goldberg recently made an appearance on The National Football Show where he reacted to the remarks by Gunther citing him as an old man. The Hall of Famer did not deny his age, shrug off, the view by Gunther that he could have defeated him at the height of his prowess terming the view as preposterous. Nevertheless, Goldberg was effusive in his admiration saying that Gunther was a powerful and worthy adversary. The final between Goldberg and Gunther will not be simply a retirement battle but an age conflict. Whereas Gunther symbolizes the present and the future, the tough and storied nature of Goldberg will stand rampant on his final stand. July 12 is going to be a night in the history of professional wrestling, whether it succeeds or not.

Rumors: Is Vince McMahon interested in buying back WWE? Vince Russo reveals MAJOR details
In 2024, American businessman Vince McMahon stepped down as the CEO of WWE after a former employee, Janel Grant, filed a lawsuit against him. She accused him of abuse and s*xual assault, after which McMahon denied the allegations and also released a statement calling her lawsuit a lie. Lately, there have been rumours that the former CEO wants to be back in the WWE business and now, former WWE head writer Vince Russo has opened up about such a possibility. In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda, Vince Russo said that McMahon wouldn't have to use his own money if he plans to purchase the company from TKO Group Holdings. He also criticized a few media outlets for underlining that McMahon would have to pay himself for buying back WWE. Further, Russo stressed the fact that the former CEO's comeback is backed by McMahon's strong connections in Saudi Arabia and wealthy personalities, who are willing to invest in his vision. "I was actually reading something from Sapp, stating that Vince McMahon wouldn't have the money. Does he not understand Vince has a relationship with the Saudis? Vince has access to billions and billions of dollars and Ross Sapp is looking at Vince taking money out of his own pocket to buy WWE? They have no concept of business, whatsoever," Russo told the portal. For the uninitiated, Vince McMahon kept his profile low as he dealt with the Janel lawsuit to clear his name from the controversy. Meanwhile, he hit the headlines owing to his latest business venture. The veteran promoter recently made the public aware of his intentions to return to the sports and entertainment business by launching a new company, 14TH & I. Reportedly, he filed three limited liability companies, signaling to venturing into different entities. Well, Vince McMahon still owns part of TKO Group Holdings but the major decision maker is not him. This is because the amount of his share is quite similar to what other big investors, like the Vanguard Group, own. Hence, it goes without saying that the majority ownership and real control of the company lie in the hands of much larger groups. Big corporate players like Endeavor, Silver Lake Equity Partners, and businessman Egon Durban together own more than 60% of TKO. Talking about the progress report card of WWE after McMahon resigned from his post, the company has continued to achieve new milestones. Be it live event attendance, merchandise sales, or viewership ratings, WWE has reported record-breaking numbers. All such factors have contributed to the market valuation of the company, and hence it has witnessed a significant rise. Nevertheless, whether Vince McMahon buys WWE back or not is still something that has not been confirmed.
