Could Enzo Amore be preparing for a WWE comeback? A new report suggests the former WWE Superstar may have taken a significant step toward returning to the company.
According to PWInsider, there is belief that Amore signed a new WWE contract within the past week. One source reportedly indicated that the former Cruiserweight Champion could be headed to the NXT brand if he makes his return.
While WWE has yet to officially confirm the signing or announce Amore’s status, the latest report adds another intriguing development to the ongoing comeback speculation.
Enzo Amore’s WWE Return Rumors Continue
Amore’s potential return has been a topic of discussion for several months. As previously reported by eWn, the former WWE star was rumored to have held talks with the company earlier this year and was reportedly interested in making a comeback.
Additional speculation picked up in May when Amore was reportedly spotted at the WWE Performance Center. His presence at the facility naturally raised questions about whether WWE was considering bringing him back into the fold.
The latest contract report could indicate that those discussions have progressed, although fans will have to wait for official confirmation before treating a return as a certainty.
Could Enzo Amore Reunite With Big Cass?
One of the biggest talking points surrounding Amore’s potential comeback has been the possibility of reuniting with his former tag team partner, Big Cass.
Cass returned to WWE earlier this year and joined the RAW roster, leading to speculation that the company could eventually bring the former tag team champions back together.
However, Cass made his comeback without Amore, leaving their potential reunion on hold.
If Amore does return to WWE, an eventual reunion would certainly be an interesting possibility. For now, though, the reported NXT direction suggests WWE may have a different plan in mind for the former tag team star.
Big Cass Currently Making Moves on RAW
While Amore’s WWE status remains uncertain, Big Cass has already established himself on the RAW roster.
Cass is currently working as a heel and has aligned himself with Ethan Page. The two recently picked up a victory over Dragon Lee and Chad Gable on last week’s episode of Monday Night RAW.
With Cass already involved in the current RAW landscape, an Amore return could potentially create several interesting opportunities for WWE, whether through a reunion or an entirely new direction.
For now, all eyes remain on WWE for confirmation regarding Amore’s reported contract signing and potential NXT arrival.
What do you think? Should WWE bring Enzo Amore back to NXT, or would you rather see him reunite with Big Cass on RAW?
946 just got even bigger on WWE Raw, as Cruz Montana officially revealed himself as the latest member of the group during a chaotic main event segment.
The night’s main event saw 946 leader Royce Keys square off against Solo Sikoa. Sikoa gained the upper hand late in the match, connecting with a Frog Splash before preparing to deliver the Samoan Spike.
However, Carmelo Hayes, Lucien Price, and Bronco Nima suddenly jumped the barricade and stormed the ring. Price took out Sikoa with a clothesline, bringing the match to an abrupt end via disqualification.
Roman Reigns and The Usos then made their way to the ring, setting up a tense staredown between the two groups before the situation quickly erupted into a brawl.
Cruz Montana Reveals His Identity
As the fighting continued, a hooded figure entered the ring and connected with his signature Spin the Block on Reigns.
The mysterious attacker then approached Keys and offered him a hand to pull him back to his feet. After a lengthy pause, the hooded man removed his mask, revealing himself to be Cruz Montana.
With Montana officially joining the group, 946 continued its assault on The Bloodline. The attack included Jey Uso being put through the commentary table.
Keys also delivered a Spinebuster to Reigns while Jimmy Uso was handcuffed to the bottom rope, leaving The Bloodline at a disadvantage.
Sami Zayn Sends a Message to Roman Reigns
Just as Reigns struggled to get back to his feet, Sami Zayn made his way to the ring and connected with a devastating Helluva Kick in the corner.
Zayn then made it clear that he intends to get Reigns’ attention, promising to do so one way or another.
With Montana now officially aligned with 946 and the group continuing its attacks on The Bloodline, tensions between the two sides appear to be escalating.
Several WWE Superstars, including some prominent names, have reportedly expressed reluctance about traveling to Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel amid concerns about potential safety risks.
According to Fightful Select, multiple talents have made it clear they do not want to participate in the November 7 premium live event because of the potential dangers associated with the trip.
The report notes that one WWE talent indicated some wrestlers who are currently scheduled for Crown Jewel have privately raised concerns with company officials. Those individuals were reportedly assured that their safety would be a top priority throughout the trip.
WWE Reportedly Planning a Smaller Traveling Crew
Fightful Select also reports that WWE is planning to bring a significantly smaller crew to Saudi Arabia than it typically would for an international premium live event.
The company is reportedly looking to limit the number of wrestlers traveling to the country, with very few talents who are not booked for Crown Jewel expected to make the trip.
These reported plans come as concerns surrounding travel to Saudi Arabia continue to draw attention.
Crown Jewel Moves to an Indoor Venue
Crown Jewel was recently moved from Riyadh Season Stadium at the King Abdullah Financial District to The Venue (ANB Arena).
The new venue is an indoor arena with a reported capacity of up to 25,000 spectators. Riyadh Season Stadium, by comparison, was an outdoor venue with a capacity exceeding 70,000.
The venue change comes amid reported disruptions to air travel in Saudi Arabia.
According to a report published Thursday by Business Insurance, approximately 86% of scheduled flights at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh were canceled between October 8 and October 25 amid Houthi rebel attacks targeting Saudi airports, ports, and oil facilities.
The report also noted that the attacks prompted international airlines to suspend services to the Saudi capital through November, while several other major airports across the kingdom experienced significant disruptions.
Crown Jewel Broadcast Details
WWE Crown Jewel is scheduled to air live on November 7, with the event available on ESPN Unlimited in the United States and Netflix internationally.
The broadcast is scheduled to begin at 12:00 p.m. ET / 9:00 a.m. PT.
While WWE has reportedly assured concerned talent that safety will be prioritized, the extent of the reported travel concerns and how they could affect the event remain to be seen.

Myles Borne Defeats Tavion Heights in Weapons Wild Match
Myles Borne and Tavion Heights opened the in-ring action with a chaotic Weapons Wild Match, using everything from a fire extinguisher and toolbox to chairs, ring steps, and a camera.
Heights came close to putting Borne away after dropping him onto a pile of metal hardware, while Borne answered with a powerslam and several creative weapon combinations.
The action took a particularly nasty turn when Heights attempted to Pillmanize Borne’s leg using the ring steps before applying an Ankle Lock. With no disqualifications in the match, Borne eventually escaped the situation and sent Heights into the ring post.
Heights later found himself on the receiving end of a camera shot from Borne, crashing through a table on the outside. Borne followed up with a Borne Again onto a trash can and the scattered contents of a toolbox to secure the victory.
Winner: Myles Borne
Izzi Dame Defeats Zaria
Zaria squared off with Izzi Dame in a match that continued their ongoing rivalry, with Dame targeting Zaria’s left arm throughout the contest.
Both women had several opportunities to finish the match, including a spear from Zaria and a series of power moves from Dame. Zaria also became distracted when images of herself and Sol Ruca appeared on the arena screen, allowing Dame to nearly steal the victory.
The finish came when Dame introduced the NXT Women’s North American Championship into the match. After the referee confiscated the title, Zaria briefly picked it up herself, drawing the official’s attention. Dame used the opening to strike Zaria with the championship and score the pinfall.
Winner: Izzi Dame
Zilla Fatu Defeats Charlie Dempsey in Falls Count Anywhere Match
Danhausen’s Wheel-hausen determined that Zilla Fatu and Charlie Dempsey would compete in a Very Nice, Very Evil Match, which was revealed to be a Falls Count Anywhere contest.
Dempsey received plenty of assistance from BirthRight, with Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo and Uriah Connors getting involved throughout the match.
The group used chairs, shovels, a chain, and even a Jack-O-Lantern to try to take Fatu out. However, Zilla eventually fought back and used the chain to deliver a Samoan Drop.
Fatu finished things off by climbing to the top rope and connecting with a Frog Splash to pick up the victory.
Winner: Zilla Fatu
Kelani Jordan Retains NXT Women’s Championship Against Wren Sinclair
Kelani Jordan defended the NXT Women’s Championship against Wren Sinclair in a competitive encounter.
Sinclair targeted Jordan’s left arm and repeatedly attempted to finish the match with the Final Wrench submission. Jordan managed to escape and connected with a 450 Splash, but Sinclair survived the cover.
Wren later reapplied the Final Wrench, forcing Jordan to find another escape. The champion eventually drove Sinclair into the middle turnbuckle before using the bottom rope for additional leverage during a pinfall attempt.
The referee failed to notice Jordan’s foot on the rope, allowing the champion to retain her title.
Winner: Kelani Jordan (Retains NXT Women’s Championship)
Shiloh Hill Defeats Naraku
After a series of bizarre backstage segments involving mist, strange environments, and Halloween-themed characters, Shiloh Hill and Naraku finally brought their rivalry into the ring.
Naraku attempted to use his mist against Hill, but Shiloh countered with what was described as “fog,” neutralizing the attack.
Hill then connected with a pop-up forearm and a neckbreaker to secure the pinfall victory.
Winner: Shiloh Hill
Grayson Waller Retains NXT Championship Against Tony D’Angelo
Grayson Waller put the NXT Championship on the line against Tony D’Angelo in the night’s final title match.
Waller spent much of the contest targeting D’Angelo’s right arm, using the ring steps, exposed turnbuckle, and announce desk to wear down the challenger.
D’Angelo eventually fought back, connecting with a spear and sending Waller crashing onto the ring steps. He later put the champion through the announce desk, but Waller managed to survive.
The closing moments saw D’Angelo accidentally knock down the referee while the two fought over a carjack. After the official was taken out, Waller retrieved the weapon and smashed D’Angelo before connecting with a rolling cutter.
The referee recovered in time to count the pinfall, allowing Waller to retain the championship.
Winner: Grayson Waller (Retains NXT Championship)
CM Punk Challenges Grayson Waller
Following the championship match, Danhausen appeared with a message for Waller from a “close personal friend.”
CM Punk then appeared on the arena screen and announced that he had been waiting for an opportunity to return to NXT.
Punk revealed that he would get that opportunity on Wednesday, challenging Waller for the NXT Championship.
The announcement provided a major closing moment for Halloween Havoc, setting up an immediate title showdown on the upcoming episode of NXT.
WWE Crown Jewel 2026 is continuing to move forward amid ongoing security concerns in the Middle East, and a new report indicates that no WWE talent have requested to stay behind rather than travel to Saudi Arabia.
With the event approaching, questions have surrounded the safety of WWE performers and staff traveling to Riyadh amid regional tensions, missile strikes, and travel advisories. However, despite online speculation involving several high-profile names, there are reportedly no indications that anyone on the WWE roster has withdrawn from the show.
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, rumors suggesting that stars such as Kevin Owens and CM Punk had declined to travel to Saudi Arabia have not been supported by any reports of talent pulling out.
Meltzer also noted that there has been no indication WWE offered performers the option of skipping the event.
WWE Reportedly Discouraging Talent From Declining Saudi Arabia Trip
While no talent have reportedly withdrawn, Meltzer shared an interesting detail about how WWE is approaching the situation behind the scenes.
An unnamed top WWE star told Meltzer that the company had communicated that declining to travel to Riyadh for Crown Jewel “is something very much not being encouraged.”
The report does not indicate that any performers have formally requested to stay home, despite the ongoing concerns surrounding travel to the region.
With the event just eight days away at the time of the report, preparations appear to be continuing largely as planned.
WWE Crown Jewel Venue Has Been Changed
One significant adjustment has been made to the event’s location within Riyadh.
Crown Jewel was originally scheduled to take place at an outdoor temporary stadium, but the show is now expected to emanate from The Venue, an indoor location approximately 35 minutes from King Khalid International Airport.
The venue change comes amid heightened security concerns following a missile strike at the airport, which reportedly killed 12 people and injured hundreds.
Despite the change, WWE is still planning to hold Crown Jewel in Riyadh rather than relocating the premium live event outside Saudi Arabia.
Questions Remain About WWE Travel Arrangements
While the venue change has been reported, there are still unanswered questions about how WWE talent, production staff, and other personnel will travel into Saudi Arabia.
Meltzer previously discussed a possible travel route being used by athletes attending the Zuffa Boxing event featuring Canelo Álvarez. As originally reported by Ariel Helwani, fighters traveling for Saturday’s card flew into Bahrain before making the drive to Riyadh.
It remains unclear whether WWE will use a similar arrangement for its performers and crew.
For now, there has been no reported mass withdrawal from Crown Jewel, and WWE’s plans to hold the event in Saudi Arabia remain intact. However, with security developments continuing to unfold, the situation surrounding the company’s trip to Riyadh remains a significant talking point heading into the show.
WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels is reportedly expected to take over Bruce Prichard’s responsibilities following Prichard’s anticipated retirement after WrestleMania 43.
The potential change would see WWE promote from within, with Michaels moving beyond his current responsibilities overseeing NXT and talent development.
Shawn Michaels’ WWE Promotion Has Reportedly Been Planned for Some Time
Michaels has spent the past several years leading NXT as its head and serving as WWE’s Senior Vice President of Talent Development and Creative.
According to PWInsider, the plan for Michaels to succeed Prichard has “been in place for some time,” suggesting the transition has been under consideration well before the recent reports about Prichard’s retirement.
The exact timing of Michaels’ move remains unclear. However, the report indicates that he is expected to begin preparing for the expanded responsibilities in the coming months.
In the new role, Michaels would work closely with WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque, his longtime friend and fellow D-Generation X member. Their established relationship could help maintain continuity within WWE’s creative leadership as the company prepares for the post-Prichard era.
AJ Styles Reportedly in Line for a Bigger NXT Role
With Michaels potentially moving into a broader WWE creative position, attention has turned to who could take on more responsibility within NXT.
According to False Finish, AJ Styles is expected to become more hands-on with the developmental brand, with sources within the WWE Performance Center reportedly indicating that he could take on a larger role.
Styles retired from in-ring competition in February and has already been involved with NXT on a limited basis. Over the past few months, he has helped produce matches, giving him some experience working behind the scenes.
His potential increased involvement could provide NXT with another experienced wrestling mind as the brand continues developing its next generation of WWE talent.
However, no official announcement has been made regarding Styles taking over Michaels’ current responsibilities, and the precise structure of NXT’s leadership moving forward remains uncertain.
WWE Could Be Preparing for a Major Creative Reshuffle
If the reported plans come to fruition, WWE could see significant changes to its creative leadership after WrestleMania 43.
Michaels would be positioned to assume Prichard’s responsibilities while potentially passing more of his NXT workload to Styles. For now, the timing and exact details of the transition remain unconfirmed by WWE.
With Prichard reportedly preparing to step away from his full-time executive position, the coming months could offer a clearer picture of how the company intends to organize its creative and developmental operations.
Bruce Prichard is reportedly expected to step away from his full-time role in WWE following WrestleMania 43, bringing a potential end to his current run as one of the company’s key creative executives.
According to PWInsider, multiple sources within WWE have indicated that Prichard is expected to retire from his position as Executive Director of Creative Writing and Talent sometime after WrestleMania 43. Fightful has also reportedly confirmed the news.
Although Prichard is expected to leave his current position, the report indicates that he will remain connected to WWE in a consulting capacity.
Bruce Prichard Expected to Remain With WWE as a Consultant
Prichard returned to WWE in 2019 and has worked in a major creative role full-time since then, becoming a significant figure behind the scenes during the company’s latest era.
Under the reported plans, Prichard would no longer live in Stamford, Connecticut, and would no longer carry out his current executive responsibilities. However, his expected consulting arrangement would allow him to maintain a connection with the company after stepping away from his day-to-day duties.
The reported timeline places his departure after WrestleMania 43, meaning he is expected to remain in his current position through WWE’s next major WrestleMania cycle.
Neither WWE nor Prichard has been reported as making an official public announcement regarding the potential change.
Who Could Replace Bruce Prichard?
At this stage, there is no word on who might succeed Prichard in the role or how WWE could restructure its creative leadership following his departure.
Given his lengthy history with the company and his involvement in WWE’s creative process since returning in 2019, his eventual transition could mark a notable change behind the scenes.
For now, the reported plan is for Prichard to step away from his full-time executive position after WrestleMania 43 while continuing to work with WWE as a consultant. Further details about the timing and any potential changes to the company’s creative structure have yet to emerge.
