Rumor Roundup (Jan. 15, 2026): WrestleMania women’s main event, WWE title plans, R-Truth deal, more!

Speculating on the rumors surrounding pro wrestling is a favored pastime of many fans, perhaps second only to actually watching the matches. In this daily column, we take a look at the latest rumors being churned out by the pro wrestling rumor mill.

Important reminder: Rumors are just that — rumors. None of this has been confirmed as fact, it’s just circulating around the pro wrestling rumor mill. We track rumor accuracy in a weekly feature called Rumor Look Back you can find here. Remember, take it all with a grain of salt.

Rumors for the Day:

• With the caveat that WWE doesn’t know what the Women’s World title match at WrestleMania 42 will be yet and a reminder “there are no guarantees”, Self Made Pro shared that WWE has discussed a Rhea Ripley vs. Iyo Sky match for Las Vegas. They added that it’s “been mentioned in meetings” that “Iyo vs. Rhea would be a match that could main event one of the nights.”
• Discussing the latest changes to the WrestleMania 42 card he’s heard about on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said a three-way match between Drew McIntyre, Jacob Fatu and Cody Rhodes for the WWE title is ”kind of a possibility”, but “that may not necessarily be at ‘Mania”.
• R-Truth told TV Insider the new WWE contract he signed after last summer’s drama was a “four-year deal with a three-year option”.
• In their reporting on The Rascalz signing with AEW, Fightful Select noted that Myron Reed offered to work his scheduled match with X-Division champ Leon Slater on Impact’s AMC premiere tonight. Despite the offer, the match was scrapped because WWE wanted Slater for today when its European tour hits the UK.
• Queen Aminata said on her vlog that her AEW contract was extended until next February, which has her feeling “very happy and very, very motivated” as she works her way back to the ring from a neck injury.
