3 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 4 we hope aren't: Incredible news on Edge's WrestleMania match, Surprising update on Brock Lesnar's WWE status

#2. Hope isn't true: Jey Uso and Robert Roode out of action from WWE without a reason?

Jey Uso has been an integral part of WWE programming since September.

Jey Uso was a WWE star who missed out on the Men's Royal Rumble match despite having declared his entry. According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Jey Uso wasn't seen this past week on SmackDown (January 29th) either.

But Jey Uso isn't the only one who has had a quiet absence. One-half of the SmackDown Tag Team Champions, Bobby Roode, has been absent too. Sportskeeda's Matt Black wrote:

WWE doesn't want these wrestlers back - Find out now!

Sapp also reports that one-half of the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions, Robert Roode was also not backstage on Friday. This absence is even more glaring, as fans haven't seen Roode since he and Dolph Ziggler defeated The Street Profits to win the SmackDown Tag Team Championship on January 8.

We hope this isn't true because when WWE stars are away from TV without an explanation, it normally means that they tested positive for COVID-19. Only Drew McIntyre's COVID-positive test result was announced.
