Top SmackDown Rumors: Frustration over last-minute cancellation of push, Confusion over Bianca Belair's WWE status, Possible spoiler for Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar (13th October)

#2 SmackDown Superstar Ridge Holland seen as a future WWE Champion

NXT Superstar Ridge Holland was drafted to SmackDown during this year's draft. As per Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE sees him as a future World Champion.

"The company does have high hopes for Holland, who some in the company have tabbed as a future WWE champion, as well as Theory, who is young and has a good look.'' said Meltzer

The 33-year-old Superstar was seen as a powerhouse performer on NXT but is being called generic and devoid of any special skills that set him apart on the main roster.

Ridge Holland is a former rugby player and signed with WWE in 2018. Recent NXT call-ups like Karrion Kross and Keith Lee have not fared well on the main roster, but we hope the story is different for Holland.

#1 Biance Belair is no longer a SmackDown superstar

Former SmackDown Women's Champion Bianca Belair was drafted to RAW this year. However, she was not featured on a recent graphic showcasing the new RAW roster, which will come into effect after Crown Jewel.

This has led to speculation that Belair might remain on Smackdown despite getting drafted. Fightful Select has revealed that The EST of WWE will be joining the RAW brand and her absence on the graphic was a simple error.

Bianca Belair was left off the graphic showcasing the new Raw roster on the show this week but Fightful Select says it was simply an error and there has been no change in her status as of this time.
