WWE looking to nail down a "former WWE Champion" for WWE Day 1
Added 2023-12-29 21:42:14 +0000 UTCWWE is looking to add to their Day 1 edition of Raw.
Sources within WWE, while speaking vaguely, claimed that the company is "on the one yard line" in landing a former WWE Champion to appear on the show, and they feel confident they can get the deal done.
We haven't been given a specific name, but were told it was someone not currently on their roster.
It's worth noting that "former WWE Champion" was the terms used by those sources. We asked if the name was one that was active or a retired talent, but weren't given that info. We'll continue to work to provide some more details as we get them.

Tony Bologna
2023-12-30 17:54:10 +0000 UTCI don't think that matters
Matthew Brownlee
2023-12-30 10:45:06 +0000 UTCWhy would they have to "land" Big E? He's already under contract. They'd just book him.
ES
2023-12-30 10:41:38 +0000 UTCI’m thinking so too after they just posted the video of Brock vs Goldberg at WM33 on YouTube

2023-12-30 00:56:35 +0000 UTCSean literally said they were told it's not someone on the roster.

Girth brooks
2023-12-30 00:46:12 +0000 UTCDoes Sasha count as a former "WWE Champion"?
Terps
2023-12-30 00:46:07 +0000 UTC*Fingers Crossed* Big E
Matthew Brownlee
2023-12-29 23:59:19 +0000 UTCI’m just hoping it isn’t Vince, hogan or Alberto del rio.

2023-12-29 23:18:07 +0000 UTCDolph
MarcustheGod
2023-12-29 23:14:02 +0000 UTCHe can wrestle dream
Chris Hohn
2023-12-29 23:05:42 +0000 UTC🤣🤣😂
Charles Lee Ray
2023-12-29 22:54:07 +0000 UTCHe has the same chance of coming back as Antonio Inoki.
Dave Nguyen
2023-12-29 22:49:06 +0000 UTCYou know this for a fact? If so you should become a wrestling news writer and break the story. Lol
Troy A Palek
2023-12-29 22:43:57 +0000 UTCI was thinking BigE but IF HE ever was cleared and He'd want to do it again, it'd for sure be the RUMBLE, even though he's under contract
Elenicca Villarin
2023-12-29 22:38:12 +0000 UTCThe report mentioned a deal so I wouldn't think they'd need to make a deal to get someone on their payroll to appear on tv. It's definitely someone not with the company anymore.

Alex Snyder
2023-12-29 22:35:34 +0000 UTCHes not in talks with AEW LOL
Charles Lee Ray
2023-12-29 22:32:57 +0000 UTCRyback
Charles Lee Ray
2023-12-29 22:32:30 +0000 UTCIf it's just an appearance, I'm thinking either Batista or Kurt Angle. RVD? Probably not. It's definitely not Big E as he's on the roster. Mercedes doesn't make sense especially if HHH plans on having her at the Royal Rumble.
Goku Kenshi
2023-12-29 22:20:55 +0000 UTCDefinitely won't be Goldberg, he is in Talks with AEW and is pissed that WWE didn't give him his retirement match like he wanted
Matty Nice
2023-12-29 22:08:25 +0000 UTCNo idea. If it’s just a single appearance it makes more sense that it’s Big E than Sasha. Don’t think they’d want Sasha back for just one appearance unless it were the Rumble or Mania.
Evan Nelson
2023-12-29 22:01:44 +0000 UTCGoldberg
karp
2023-12-29 21:59:04 +0000 UTCIt’s an appearance
T Mar
2023-12-29 21:58:22 +0000 UTCCould be. If he’s going into the HOF but he’s retired from being active in ring so I wonder who else it could be. This makes it sound like they’re adding another active talent to the roster and not a legends type of deal
thaddperkins
2023-12-29 21:57:25 +0000 UTCGuys it literally says NOT on the roster But the context of former WWE champion is 🤔🤔 Is it male WWE champion or just in general a WWE champion
Cal
2023-12-29 21:56:25 +0000 UTCSasha Mone Banks!
Ali Khan
2023-12-29 21:55:52 +0000 UTCSays NOT on the roster
Cal
2023-12-29 21:55:29 +0000 UTCHe said not long ago his next neck scan is in April 2024 so he won’t be wrestling again till after that at least. I’d love to see him do some commentary or something though
Chris Parrey
2023-12-29 21:54:35 +0000 UTCMy guess is it's Brock..It's been awhile
ultimoaden
2023-12-29 21:53:06 +0000 UTCThe wording of "Landing a former WWE Champion" and "Get the deal done" really points to someone not in the company. Big E would just need a phone call as he's still signed. I'd guess Cardona as they're not saying what champion
Stew Sizer
2023-12-29 21:52:04 +0000 UTCMercedes?
A
2023-12-29 21:51:18 +0000 UTCThey are trying to sign someone to appear at Day 1. It’s a non active roster
T Mar
2023-12-29 21:49:51 +0000 UTCI WALK ALONE……
T Mar
2023-12-29 21:48:35 +0000 UTCHe's still signed, so that wouldn't need a deal to be made
Stew Sizer
2023-12-29 21:48:30 +0000 UTCAnd I interpreted it as someone on the active roster. We shall see!
Trevor D.
2023-12-29 21:47:41 +0000 UTCHello Sasha?
BG
2023-12-29 21:47:34 +0000 UTCBrock
Joshua Edwards
2023-12-29 21:47:21 +0000 UTCthe fact that there’s no name for this former wwe champion rumor makes it even more intriguing
Tony Espitia
2023-12-29 21:46:41 +0000 UTCI'm taking this as someone not with the company anymore, Big E is just inactive due to injury.

Isaac Gudin
2023-12-29 21:45:27 +0000 UTCI don’t suppose it was indicated whether it was a man or woman either? Although I assume it’s a man, I’ve been wrong before
Joel Wood
2023-12-29 21:45:24 +0000 UTCBig E hopefully
Kieran Smith
2023-12-29 21:45:23 +0000 UTCBrock
Marc
2023-12-29 21:45:23 +0000 UTCHope it's Big E 😭 it's been way too long.
Mark lacking
2023-12-29 21:45:18 +0000 UTCHey, when saying WWE Champion do they specifically mean the WWE Title or just a person who held a championship in WWE?

2023-12-29 21:44:47 +0000 UTCHope it’s a Big E return, even if it’s not in a wrestling fashion.
