• Ronda Rousey Takes A Dig At Roman Reigns
Ronda Rousey shared her thoughts on Roman Reigns’ rise to superstardom in WWE, giving major credit to Hall of Famer Paul Heyman for transforming The Tribal Chief into one of the biggest names in professional wrestling.
Speaking on Bertcast, Rousey explained that while WWE’s scripted nature allows legacy families to thrive, it took Heyman’s creative touch to finally get Reigns over with the audience. Here’s what the UFC Hall of Famer said:
“Legacy families in WWE are a lot more successful because it’s scripted. So you can make sure the legacy continues. Whereas in MMA, you’ve gotta win. It’s not like a guarantee.
Roman Reigns, they tried so hard to get him over for so long, and there was ‘f**k you Roman’ chants, and no one wanted him because he had so many of those advantages. He was young, good-looking, talented, came from a famous family. No one identified with that.
It wasn’t until Paul Heyman came in and found a way to repackage everything as the Head of the Table and all of that. That is Paul Heyman’s genius that got him over. So much of what is working in that company is due to Paul Heyman or Paul Heyman’s guidance. He’s like the guy behind the scenes that’s like everyone’s mentor, and a lot of the best ideas originated from him.
My graphic novel originated from him. Paul Heyman deserves a f**king shrine, in my mind. He has a shrine in my mind.”
• Bad News For Bianca Belair Fans
Bianca Belair has been sidelined from in-ring action since suffering a fractured finger during a Triple-Threat Match for the Women’s World Championship against Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY at WrestleMania 41 in April.
The EST’s last appearance came at Evolution, where she served as the Special Guest Referee for the No Holds Barred Match between Naomi and Jade Cargill. She has not been seen on the main roster since, though she was in attendance for NXT Homecoming at Full Sail University in September.

Earlier reports indicated that WWE initially hoped to have her back by SummerSlam in August, but those plans were seemingly delayed as she has yet to be medically cleared to compete.

• Seth Rollins Says He Will Be Out Of Action For 6 Months (Video)
Seth Rollins appeared on today’s Halloween edition of Good Morning America.
The former Vision leader, who recently vacated the World Heavyweight Championship due to a shoulder injury he suffered at Crown Jewel, revealed that he will be out of action for 6 months.
Rollins also took a shot at the future of the World Title, saying that his title will be worn by a schmuck now. CM Punk vs. Jey Uso will take place for the vacant title tomorrow on Saturday Night’s Main Event.
It looks like Rollins will be cleared to return around WrestleMania 42, which will take place on April 18 & 19, 2026.
• Major Spoiler For Saturday Night’s Main Event
The WrestleMania 42 trailer featured the following wrestlers from the current roster: Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, and CM Punk – four names being pushed as the central figures for WWE’s biggest event of 2026.
According to the Wrestling Observer, WWE filmed promotional content with these names for Royal Rumble 2026 (which will take place in Saudi Arabia) as well.
The inclusion of Punk in that top-tier grouping is especially significant. Many within WWE now believe he has effectively taken the spot originally intended for Seth Rollins, who has been sidelined with injury. The visual placement of Punk among WWE’s core stars strongly suggests that the company sees him as a headline-level player heading into WrestleMania 42.
With Rollins out and Punk now being marketed alongside Reigns, Lesnar, and Rhodes, the Observer noted that this basically gives away the finish of tomorrow’s Saturday Night’s Main Event: CM Punk walking out as the new World Heavyweight Champion.
