WWE and AEW Rumor Roundup for March 26, 2022, including WrestleMania main event, Cody in WWE, AEW video game, Veer and more!

These are all the latest rumor roundup in pro-wrestling, which are currently afloat. So let’s have a look at all the rumor roundup from WWE and AEW.

1. WrestleMania main event still remains as a question 

It was reported earlier by the r/SquaredCircle that the Stone Cold Steve Austin appearance on “The KO Show” will headline WrestleMania Saturday on April 2.

However, even though there were several reports of this. Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that as of mid-week, WWE’s internal match order, Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey, are still the choices for headlining the main event.

2. Cody Rhodes new update 

There has been a new update for Cody Rhodes/ Seth Rollins WrestleMania Saga from Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter that,

“All WWE sources indicate the belief that the deal is done and the match is happening and that any suggestion it isn’t is not the case. Those close to the situation are still suggesting otherwise, but one person in WWE called that ‘silliness’ at this point.”

It will be interesting to see what happens on this penultimate week on RAW and SmackDown. Whether Cody returns and who becomes Rollins’ opponent.

3. Veer Mahan to debut with different character

After months of vignettes of Veer Mahan last week, WWE finally revealed the actual date for Mahan’s return on RAW.

Mahaan, whose real name is Rinku Rajput, was a professional baseball player before signing with WWE in January 2018. He worked as one half of the powerhouse tag team Indus Sher and was brought to RAW in May 2021 alongside Shanky.

Veer was pulled from TV and started getting repackaged after Mahala and Shanky were drafted to SmackDown. As part of the 2021 Draft, Mahal and Shanky were drafted to SmackDown while Veer remained on the red brand.

Now Newsletter is reporting that Veer Mahaan is expected to have a different character when he debuts on Raw, which will be after WrestleMania. 

4. New name for AEW console game 

AEW has recently trademarked new fillings, which made people get the idea that Adam Cole, Bobby Fish & Kyle O Reilly’s faction name could be “Undisputed Elite”.

The new console game for AEW is on its way now, and the wrestlers are working with the developers on a story mode. And they have also trademarked another new filing name, “AEW: Fight Forever.”

5. Recent update on WWE 2K22 

Recently WWE 2K tweeted about Stephanie McMahon’s visit to their headquarters to launch WWE 2K22.

Shoutout to @WWE and @StephMcMahon for the continued partnership and an amazing launch of #WWE2K22. Here’s to many more years of success! #ItHitsDifferent

This gave the impression that WWE wouldn’t be shopping their license. However, according to Sports Gamers Online, WWE sources has said that it’s still too early to tell, and the photo of Stephanie on the headquarters was just a celebratory photo for the game launch and not an announcement of extension.

 “This was a celebratory photo for our game launch. Not an announcement of an extension.”
