More departures coming after Ilja Dragunov, Bayley’s future

Under Triple H’s creative leadership, WWE is gearing up for Sunday Night’s Main Event. Recently, it was revealed that Ilja Dragunov is no longer with the Stamford-based company.

There are numerous rumors circulating, including more departures and updates on Bayley’s status. Here, we delve into these rumors, hoping that three are true and two are not.

Hope true: Bronson Reed returning to WWE; big feud expected

Bronson Reed has been absent from WWE television due to an injury. A report suggests that WWE is planning Reed’s return, as mentioned by Fightful Select. His return is anticipated soon, with a potential feud against Oba Femi later this year. We hope this rumor is accurate. The prospect of the former NXT North American Champion facing The Ruler is exciting.

Hope true: Update on Bayley’s future

Although Bayley has been off television, her name frequently appears on Monday Night RAW. Previous reports hinted at her contract nearing its end, sparking speculation about her possible exit. However, a recent report suggests WWE anticipates her return. We hope this rumor holds true, as Bayley is pivotal to the women’s division in WWE.

Hope true: Oba Femi vs. Bron Breakker SNME match ending

Following Oba Femi’s victory over Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, he is set to face Bron Breakker at Sunday Night’s Main Event. This match could determine the future star of the company. Both wrestlers are in a position where losing isn’t an option. The latest update suggests that the creative team, led by Triple H, might opt for a non-finish to protect both competitors. While this outcome might be unsatisfying, it’s a strategy to avoid either star losing by pinfall or submission. We hope this rumor of a non-finish proves true.

Hope not true: Ilja Dragunov reportedly opted to let his deal expire

Ilja Dragunov, known as The Mad Dragon, has departed from WWE. According to False Finish, WWE wanted him to stay, but Dragunov allowed his contract to expire. We hope this rumor is unfounded, as the report doesn’t clarify why he decided not to renew his contract.

Hope not true: More stars could leave the company in October

Following Ilja Dragunov’s exit, there is speculation that several other main-roster contracts will expire in October. These contracts reportedly involve wrestlers who haven’t been prominently featured on television recently. Although their departure isn’t confirmed, we hope this rumor isn’t true. The Chief Content Officer should aim to re-sign all key talents before their contracts expire to avoid a similar situation as Dragunov’s unexpected exit.
