News & Rumor Roundup: Former WWE champion to join IMPACT Wrestling, Massive return set for RAW, More on Jeff Hardy/Brock Lesnar segment (2nd October 2021) 

#4 Bray Wyatt rumored to join IMPACT Wrestling instead of AEW following WWE release

Former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt was let go by the company in July this year. Since then there has been heavy speculation that The Eater of the Worlds would join AEW after his non-compete clause expired. However, Bryan Alvarez of the Observer has stated that he is more likely to show up in IMPACT Wrestling than AEW.

"Wrestling Observer Live’s Bryan Alvarez said he’s under the impression Bray Wyatt is more likely to sign with Impact Wrestling than AEW."

Rumors have also said that another former Universal Champion, Braun Strowman, is also IMPACT bound, and he's expected to at the promotion's Bound For Glory event in October. Strowman and Wyatt were once part of the same stable in WWE, so it's possible that the Wyatt family will get a revival in IMPACT Wrestling.

#3 WWE megastar Brock Lesnar set to return on RAW

Brock Lesnar revealed on SmackDown that he is a free agent. As a result, Lesnar will not be bound by any brand, so he is free to appear on both RAW and SmackDown.

Following this development, PWInsider revealed that there are plans for The Beast Incarnate to appear on RAW on Monday. Lesnar has not been seen on the red brand since the build-up for his WrestleMania 36 match against Drew McIntyre.

Lesnar is currently involved in a feud with Roman Reigns on SmackDown, so it will be interesting to see what the former champion does if he appears on Monday.
