Cageside Seats' daily Rumor Roundup (Nov. 7, 2026) bundles the most talked‑about WWE chatter, from the aftermath of Money in the Bank to possible talent exits and surprise call‑ups, while reminding readers that many items remain unverified.
According to Fightful Select, the original creative plan for the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match involved Roxanne Perez as the favorite, but the briefcase was ultimately won by Tiffany Stratton for the second time, a decision that appears to have been set weeks in advance rather than a last‑minute change.
Money in the Bank outcome
Wrestling Observer Live contributor Bryan Alvarez reported that insiders in NXT were not surprised by rumors that the Creed Brothers may be leaving WWE, suggesting the speculation aligns with internal expectations.
Dave Meltzer, writing for the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, noted that no one in NXT was aware of a potential main‑roster promotion for Cruz Montana to join The 946, and even Shawn Michaels may be out of the loop, despite NXT’s own plans to position Montana as a top babyface.
Potential departures from WWE
Additional tidbits from the roundup include Nia Jax expressing a desire to transition into coaching after her in‑ring career, former WWE star Glenn Jacobs (Kane) being mentioned as a favorite for the next U.S. Senate seat in Tennessee, and the departure of George Iceman from TNA with other contracts set to expire soon.
While the roundup offers a snapshot of current speculation, Cageside Seats emphasizes that many of these stories are still rumors and may evolve as WWE’s creative direction solidifies.
