Seth Rollins has set a target date for his WWE return while currently being sidelined. His planned return involves a championship.
Seth Rollins stated in a January 29, 2026 ESPN interview that CM Punk is the person he hates most in WWE, calling the current World Heavyweight Champion "the worst" and telling him to "keep it warm" because the title will be his when he returns.

Seth Rollins criticized Brock Lesnar's casual approach to announcing his 2026 Royal Rumble entry via FaceTime on Pat McAfee's show during an appearance on ESPN's Get Up. Rollins acknowledged Lesnar as a dangerous competitor but mocked his work ethic, saying it was "the most Brock Lesnar way" to announce his entry without wanting to leave his farm in Saskatchewan or show up for work. Rollins noted that Lesnar will now fly to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the Royal Rumble with a strong chance of winning the match.
WWE and 2K have received a court extension until February 20 to respond to a lawsuit filed by Arkansas independent promoter Nathaniel Tatha-Nanandji, who claims they copied an audiovisual sequence he created for WCWA Wrestling's faction Tier 1 beginning in 2019. The lawsuit alleges that WWE introduced a substantially similar presentation for The Bloodline faction around September 2021 and later licensed it for use in WWE 2K video games, with Tatha-Nanandji claiming ownership of the structure and sequencing of the full presentation rather than individual poses or gestures.
A former WWE star has stated they were surprised by their release from the company. The wrestler has also addressed the possibility of a potential return to WWE.

WWE 2K26 has received an ESRB rating of T for Teen and will only be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC, marking the end of cross-gen support as no PlayStation 4 or Xbox One versions are listed. A leak from Dealabs Magazine claims the game will release on March 13, 2026, and feature three special editions: Attitude Era Edition, Monday Night War Edition, and King of Kings Edition featuring Triple H. Reports indicate CM Punk is set to be the centerpiece of this year's Showcase Mode, while sources claim a full announcement will drop January 30 with pre-orders opening the same day.
Cody Rhodes described his decision to leave AEW for WWE as "the biggest gamble of all" during an interview on The Undertaker's Six Feet Under podcast. Rhodes, who was an Executive Vice President and founding member of AEW, said he had to weigh leaving a "good gig" that included an executive role and starring in TV shows under WarnerMedia. He explained his fear was that if he failed upon returning to WWE, it wouldn't hurt the company but would have crushed him personally and professionally, with people saying "he was little league all along."
Michin announced on January 29 that she and Kevin Owens will be hosting a Royal Rumble watch party at a Dave & Buster's location in Orlando, Florida during the premium live event. Kevin Owens has been sidelined since March 2025 due to a serious neck injury and has not been cleared to return to in-ring action, while Michin is currently inactive following an injury suffered during WWE's recent holiday tour. The announcement effectively rules out both performers from making surprise appearances in the Royal Rumble matches.
