The WWE rumor mill is buzzing once again as January 22 2026 brings a mix of intrigue speculation and behind the scenes chatter that has fans talking across the wrestling world. With major names being linked to potential moves and fresh identities possibly on the way the landscape of professional wrestling could be heading toward another interesting phase as the road to WrestleMania season continues to heat up.
One of the biggest talking points right now surrounds Chris Jericho and his future schedule. Rumors of a possible WWE appearance gained traction after reports suggested his commitments outside wrestling might be winding down. However the latest information indicates that Jericho is currently tied up with music related engagements keeping him away from WWE programming for now. While nothing has been officially confirmed the speculation alone highlights how much interest still exists around Jericho and the possibility of seeing him back in a WWE ring at some point in the future.
Another name generating serious buzz is EVIL who is believed to be nearing the end of his run in Japan. Reports suggest he has given notice and could be exploring options outside his current promotion with WWE emerging as a potential destination. If this move materializes it would mark another notable international signing and could add a unique edge to WWE’s roster especially given EVIL’s established persona and championship pedigree.
Meanwhile Powerhouse Hobbs continues to be a major topic of discussion following his exit from AEW. Multiple reports point toward a WWE signing with expectations that he could debut sooner rather than later. Adding to the intrigue is talk of a possible new ring name with trademark filings hinting that WWE may repackage him under a fresh identity. Such changes are common for incoming talent and fans are eager to see how Hobbs would be presented and positioned if and when he officially appears.
