Below are some top WWE news stories of the day.
• It appears that WWE has unofficially moved an NXT stable to the main roster.
Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend have been appearing on the main roster in recent weeks, though WWE hasn’t formally announced the shift. They recently competed in a Fatal 4-Way match for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship at Crown Jewel.
The Wrestling Observer discussed the situation, mentioning that he’s heard the entire Meta-Four stable is likely part of the main roster now:
“I don’t think they’re NXT women anymore. I think they’re officially main roster, although they’re still making appearances in NXT; I think all of Meta-Four is called up. It’s not official, but I know people there who believe that all of Meta-Four have been called up, including Noam (Dar), who hasn’t even been on TV in like 6 months.”
There’s no word yet on when Noam Dar and Oro Mensah will officially join Lash and Jakara on the main roster.

• Michael Hayes and Bruce Prichard are currently on a temporary leave from WWE. Both longtime WWE creative team members are expected to return, though there’s no set time frame.
According to the Wrestling Observer, Hayes is on leave due to personal matters, while Prichard’s absence is reportedly due to a family emergency.
WWE insiders clarify that there’s no connection between the two taking time off and emphasize that this isn’t about phasing out the old guard, as both are anticipated to return.
Hayes, a WWF/E mainstay since the 1990s, has served in multiple roles, including interviewer, manager, producer, and key creative figure. Prichard, similarly significant, has had a relationship with the WWF/E dating back to 1987 with various on-and-off roles.
Michael Hayes has been instrumental in The Bloodline storyline, collaborating with Paul Heyman on Roman Reigns’ segments. With James Gibson listed as the producer for The Bloodline’s match at Crown Jewel, questions arose about Hayes’ current status.
