4 Wrestling rumors we hope are true and 3 we hope aren't: 2-time WWE Champion set to face Roman Reigns; disappointing plans for WrestleMania 38 main event?

#2. Hope is true: Current WWE star willing to test out free agency

A lot of WWE superstars are hitting the free-agent market after getting released. Adam Cole, Johnny Gargano and Kyle O'Reilly present the rarer cases of WWE superstars finishing their contractual obligations before ending their tenure with the company.

Then there are superstars like Toni Storm, whose release comes unexpectedly, but one with a back story to it as well. However, it seems as though some WWE stars are getting comfortable with the idea of being a free agent, as the independent wrestling scene has begun to re-emerge after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sean Ross Sapp addressed the topic on the Fightful Q & A show, and said that a female WWE star, whose name wasn't revealed, is open to testing the idea of free agency:

"I've not heard of any women wanting out of their WWE deals, but I've definitely heard of some that believed that they could make good money on the independent circuit. I'll say this. I spoke with one that says that they could probably make a good amount of money on the independent circuit because there aren't a ton of former WWE long-term main roster draws that are out there," revealed Sean Ross Sapp.

We hope this is true because superstars being more confident in having a free agent status gives WWE less power over the talent. It's also less impactful on morale when superstars know that there are alternatives.
