Rumor Roundup (May 29, 2025)

Stephanie Vaquer and Jordynne Grace are both headed to the main roster, according to Cory Hayes of Bodyslam.net. Vaquer will be on Raw, while Grace is going to SmackDown.

WWE kept Vaquer’s loss on Tuesday a secret internally, including not including in on internal rundowns of the show. That from Fightful Select.

There was talk a month ago about WWE holding the Draft during their just completed run of show in Tampa, per Wrestling Observer Live,‘s Bryan Alvarez. He believes call-ups like Vaquer, Grace, Fraxiom, Giulia and Roxanne Perez would have happened in the Draft if the company had gone ahead with those plans.

Following up an earlier rumor about WWE considering asking fans not to swear at WWE shows, Fightful reported that this has already happened for NXT broadcasts from the Performance Center. Those who continue swearing after being asked not to are told they could be removed, but the site hasn’t heard about “any incident that went past a warning”.

In line with talk of how “banged up” the AEW roster was coming out of Double or Nothing, Fightful says match announcements for last night’s Dynamite were delayed “as AEW discovered what talent would be available”.

Asked about Britt Baker’s status with AEW on a Fightful Select podcast, Sean Ross Sapp said that Baker signed a five-year contract in 2021. He also assumes AEW will add injury time to Baker’s deal.

During a live WrestleBinge Q&A Tuesday night, WrestleVotes got a question about AAA or TNA wrestlers appearing on WWE Evolution 2. They replied, “any available talent — that is outside a few companies — are gonna be asked to work the show if they’d like, so they will stack it as best as they can.”

Speculation that the July 4 SmackDown will be taped in advance (as there’s no live show on WWE’s schedule for that Friday) was confirmed when PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh posted that the Mon., June 30 live Raw there would also be a SmackDown taping.

On Observer Live, Alvarez said “every single person” he spoke to at AEW thinks the company’s PPVs, including this past Sunday’s Double or Nothing, are running too long. Alvarez didn’t speak to Tony Khan, but said others have tried and told him that Khan “just does it. We can’t stop it. There’s nothing that can be done”.
