Buy or Sell Latest on Seth Rollins' Stable, Roman Reigns, WWE Draft Rumors and More

WWE almost feels like it's heading for an offseason of sorts in the wake of WrestleMania 41 ahead of the Backlash PLE. 

Somebody forgot to tell the rumor mill, though. 

The rumors have been laid on thick and fierce since ‘Mania and don’t really show any signs of slowing. Rumors, at least right now, hit on all sorts of topics, too. 

This week is yet another great example as buzz details Roman Reigns’ status, the new Seth Rollins stable, a possible WWE draft and even possible surprise debuts happening soon. 

To help fans keep pace with all the wild information flying around, here’s a look at the most notable rumblings and whether they should buy or sell on each item. 

The Rumor

It’s no great shock for Roman Reigns buzz to headline the rumor mill. According to WrestleVotes (h/t Randall Ortman of Cageside Seats), Reigns will be gone until early June. 

Reaction

It’s also no great shock to hear that sort of timeframe on a Reigns return. A month or so away after WrestleMania is almost expected at this time of year from him, especially after once again headlining part of the biggest show of the year. 

Buy or Sell?

Buy. Seth Rollins’ stable can hold it down in the top slot for weeks while letting the storyline simmer. Reigns getting back in time for the ramp up to things like Money in the Bank and eventually SummerSlam is a layup of a way to predict how things will shake out. 

The Rumor

Speaking of Rollins’ new stable, Fightful Select (h/t Ortman), reported that WWE has no plans to expand the group with new Superstars at this time. 

Reaction

This is a risky one for WWE. The note also mentions that WWE doesn’t want it compared to past major stables (cough…Evolution…cough). But fans almost seem to expect another member to join eventually and there’s no great way to fully curb that idea. 

Buy or Sell?

Sell. Surely WWE has a list of wrestlers in mind. Not that Rollins, Bron Breakker and Paul Heyman need the help. But the idea of adding say, Becky Lynch to the mix and plenty of others is really fun. It feels inevitable, really. 

The Rumor

Rusev is a hot commodity after his return to WWE. According to PW Insider (h/t Ortman), multiple talents are already interested in working with him. 

Reaction

One can brainstorm plenty of names to fit this role. Bruisers like Sheamus make sense. So does going all the way up the list to the main-event scene, where he’d be a must-see opponent for Gunther, if not challenging for Jey Uso’s title. 

Buy or Sell?

Buy. Getting in the ring with the major returning name is always coveted. That, and Rusev is just a fantastic star with lots of history. It’ll be interesting to see just how fast WWE moves with him, but the main-event scene wouldn’t be a major surprise. 

The Rumor

Fans have noticed a lack of talk around the WWE draft—until now, anyway. According to WrestleVotes (h/t Ortman), the draft remains in the plans, but the scheduling of major events has thrown off the expected timeline. 

Reaction

The WWE draft continues to be one of the weirdest things about the promotion. On paper, it’s a nice way to shake up rosters. But it’s oddly executed most years and rules like brand splits never work. 

Buy or Sell?

Buy. They’d be foolish not to try another draft, given the popularity and usefulness in roster construction. Quick PLEs and other big events have obviously bumped it out of the way in priority, though. 

The Rumor

Jeff Cobb continues to throw out hints that he’s retiring on social media, but few are buying it. According to WrestleVotes (h/t Ortman), his debut in WWE could happen soon and he could skip the NXT part of the journey.   

Reaction

The former NJPW superstar feels like a big signing for WWE. Compared to the quieter buzz around some recent signings, there hasn’t been any reason to think he goes to the minor leagues of sorts in NXT first.

Buy or Sell?

Buy. Cobb is already 42 years old and a natural, so it’s not like WWE needs to go slow with introducing him to the crowds. This could be more of a Jacob Fatu-styled arrival, perhaps even around some notable names and feuds. 

The Rumor

The past week or so has seen a barrage of rumors around Liv Morgan for non-WWE reasons. According to Wrestling Observer Radio’s Bryan Alvarez  (h/t Ortman), Morgan leaving to film a movie won’t result in her and Raquel Rodriguez being stripped of their tag team titles. 

Reaction

This one doesn’t feel like a big deal. The Triple H era has had some mediocre booking around mid-tier women’s titles as of late as it is. Liv’s tag tiles going undefended for a little bit of time shouldn’t be a major issue. 

Buy or Sell?

Buy. This is WWE and it’s 2025. If it’s really necessary, the promotion can come up with storyline reasons for Liv’s absence or even work her filming a movie into the story.
