WWE has its eyes set on Dralistico as a prime target once his current contract situation is sorted out, with his AEW deal widely expected to finish up in December.
According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, WWE officials believe the masked luchador (who is RAW wrestler Dragon Lee&#8217;s brother) could make an immediate splash not just on WWE&#8217;s main roster, but also in AAA if he hits the open market.
Adding to his appeal, Dralistico already has notable friends in the locker room who are pulling for his arrival, meaning he would step through the doors with built-in backstage support the moment he becomes officially available to talk business.

Paul Heyman could be making his way back to WWE programming in the near future under a creative pitch that puts him in fresh territory without completely abandoning his current storyline.
According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, writers are floating an idea that brings the legendary manager back to TV relatively soon to work a separate angle.
While the pitch moves Heyman into a different program, the plan is not to wipe his current slate clean. The proposed direction would still keep a thread tied directly to The Vision narrative, particularly keeping his on-screen link to Bron Breakker alive.

John Cena&#8217;s upcoming return to WWE TV on RAW at the Barclays Center on November 2 is widely expected to lift the curtain on the John Cena Classic, finally giving fans the official dates, location, and full format for the event.
Ever since Cena first brought up the tournament idea back in May, WWE management has poured countless hours of creative planning and high-level meetings into the project to guarantee it comes off with a modern and unique feel.
According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, the push to make it stand out led WWE officials to seek creative input outside the regular circle, even pulling in veteran perspectives from Hall of Famers Shawn Michaels and AJ Styles.
While the concept was initially drawn up as a marquee attraction exclusively for Club WWE, internal sources note that the company has shifted its strategy and is now looking at alternative streaming options to ensure the special project reaches the largest possible global audience.

According to PWInsider, WWE plans for Shawn Michaels to step into Bruce Prichard’s current position as Executive Director of Creative Writing &#038; Talent after Prichard retires from his full-time role following WrestleMania 43 in 2027. 
Prichard is expected to remain with the company as a consultant working primarily from home in Texas. The succession plan has reportedly been in place for some time, with Michaels set to begin preparing for the transition in the coming months. 
Michaels currently serves as Senior Vice President of Talent Development and Creative while overseeing NXT.
Sources told False Finish that people within the Performance Center expect AJ Styles to take on a more hands-on role in NXT as a result of Michaels’ promotion, possibly replacing HBK in NXT one day.

Shawn Michaels’ Possible Replacement In NXT

Shawn Michaels is lined up for a massive promotion behind the scenes in WWE, stepping into the top creative spot being vacated by Bruce Prichard.
Following news that the 63-year-old Prichard will retire from his role as Executive Director of Creative Writing and Talent around WrestleMania 43 to focus on a remote consulting gig from Texas, PWInsider confirmed that WWE plans to stay in-house for his replacement.
The job will go to Michaels, the company&#8217;s current Senior Vice President of Talent Development and Creative who has successfully run the NXT brand since September 2021.
The 2-time WWE Hall of Famer shares an exceptionally close bond with Chief Content Officer Paul &#8220;Triple H&#8221; Levesque. Insiders reveal this transition has quietly been mapped out for a while, giving Michaels several months ahead to shadow Prichard and smoothly ease into the demanding main roster leadership duties.

WWE will not change its holiday plans just to wage a live ratings war with AEW to start the new year.
After Tony Khan&#8217;s promotion revealed that Dynamite: New Year&#8217;s Smash will air live on Friday, January 1, 2027, an internal WWE source told WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select that management has zero interest in altering its existing production schedule.
Instead of running a live SmackDown to counter the competition, WWE will tape the show ahead of time during a double-header taping on Monday, December 28, in Tampa, Florida.
The choice to record early was made specifically so wrestlers and crew members can stay home with their families on New Year&#8217;s Day, and officials are determined to stick by that promise no matter what counter-programming shows up on the rival channel.
While WWE higher-ups are fully aware that a pre-recorded holiday broadcast is likely to bring in lower TV ratings than a typical live episode, protecting the roster&#8217;s time off remains the clear priority for the company.
