Bobby Duncum Sr., a veteran professional wrestler, has died at age 81. WWE has released an official tribute statement honoring the longtime performer. This marks the loss of another wrestling legend from the sport's earlier generations.
R-Truth revealed that his WWE Money in the Bank 2025 return almost didn't happen due to extreme secrecy measures, with him arriving at the arena at 7:05 PM after John Cena's match had already started at 7:00 PM. The situation was so last-minute that Truth didn't even sign his new WWE contract until the same day of the event, with negotiations continuing behind the scenes as the show approached. Despite the chaotic timing and emotional pressure, the carefully orchestrated surprise became one of WWE's most talked-about returns in recent memory.
John Cena provided an update on his hair transplant progress, revealing on Twitter that he's 14 months post-surgery and "couldn't be happier" with the results. The WWE legend publicly named Dr. Ken Anderson at the Anderson Center for Hair as the doctor who performed the procedure, which originally took place in November 2024. Cena thanked the doctor for a recent PRP and exosome treatment while stating he's maintaining his daily routine as recommended.
Logan Paul believes Vince McMahon will eventually be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and potentially return to WWE television, despite the serious sex trafficking allegations McMahon is currently facing. Speaking on his Impaulsive podcast, Paul predicted that McMahon would receive "an insane pop" from fans if he returned, and suggested he might have appeared during John Cena's recent retirement moment. McMahon remains away from WWE operations due to ongoing legal scrutiny, but Paul's comments reflect a sentiment among some fans that the former Chairman's wrestling story may not be finished.
Betting markets for WWE's 2026 Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia suggest major celebrity appearances, with YouTube star IShowSpeed leading at 30.77% odds, followed by Jake Paul and Bad Bunny at 13.33% each. Other potential surprise entrants include KSI, Kai Cenat, Conor McGregor, and returning WWE personality Pat McAfee, indicating WWE may be planning significant celebrity involvement for their January 31 event in Riyadh.
Chris Jericho leads 2026 Royal Rumble return betting odds with a 71.43% implied chance of appearing, following the reported end of his AEW contract on December 31, 2025. While speculation has intensified due to his free-agent status, Jericho won't appear on WWE programming before the January 31 Saudi Arabia event, as he's committed to Fozzy band obligations and NAMM conference appearances. Other rumored returns include Matt Cardona (66.67% odds) and Brock Lesnar (36.36% odds), but Jericho remains the top betting favorite for a surprise comeback.
