• Former Champion Open To WWE Return After 19 Years At Royal Rumble In Saudi Arabia
Jazz made her WWF debut in 2001 and quickly rose to the top of the Women’s division, becoming a two-time Women’s Champion. She was released in 2004, returned briefly a few years later, and was released again in 2007.
The 53-year-old has worked as a guest coach at the WWE Performance Center several times this year and was also in attendance for the Evolution Premium Live Event.
In an interview with Ring The Belle, Jazz said that she would be open to returning at Royal Rumble 2026, but only if WWE gives her enough time to get ready.
“Give me a heads up so I can prepare myself. Don’t let it be a two-week notice. That’s all I ask, give me at least a month so I can prepare myself.
More mentally, but physically as well, so I can get in the gym. Work on my guns a little bit. Just give me a heads up and I will most definitely be prepared.”
WWE will head to Saudi Arabia for the Royal Rumble next year. The show isn’t expected to feature many surprise returns as it would be extremely difficult for the company to quietly fly talent in without it leaking early.
• Goldberg Walks Out Of Autograph Signing In New York
WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg was in New York this weekend for The Big Event, where he reunited with Sting and The Great Muta in one of the convention’s headline appearances. However, the day ended with some controversy involving a separate private signing he was booked for.
K&S WrestleFest shared the news on their Facebook page, explaining that they had all their merchandise ready for Goldberg to sign while he was finishing a private session with another vendor. Once that session ended, Goldberg stood up, said he was finished, and walked past their table without signing anything.
They wrote:
“Unfortunately Goldberg PRIVATE Signing did not happen. We had all our items laid out ready to sign as Goldberg was doing another private for another vendor. After he was done, he got up and said he was done… He walked out past our stuff, and left. We are all super disappointed and frustrated. My apologies to all…”
The Facebook post has now been deleted.

Zena Sterling signed with WWE in 2023. She finished as the Women’s runner-up in the first season of LFG and reached the semi-finals in season two. Although she has not yet debuted on NXT programming, she has been gaining experience by working the developmental brand’s live events.
At a recent live event, the Ukrainian prospect teamed up with NXT Women’s North American Champion Blake Monroe in a losing effort against ZaRuca. Sterling later hinted at what could become her first on-screen character:

Monroe responded by offering her own name idea for the gimmick:
“Monroe Minion. Alliteration darling. So much to learn….”
Blake Monroe is set to defend the Women’s North American Championship against Sol Ruca during Week 1 of NXT Gold Rush this Tuesday. It will be Sol’s first match back since returning from injury.
