#5. The Undertaker's appearance at Crown Jewel

WWE held its annual Saudi Arabia event, Crown Jewel, on October 21, 2021. On the day of the event, reports of The Undertaker being present at the location surfaced. This led to speculation of a surprise return.

While The Deadman was indeed present in Saudi Arabia, he didn't appear at Crown Jewel 2021. However, he wasn't on vacation; he appeared on stage during a Pitbull concert to introduce the legendary artist.

After The Fiend was released by WWE in July, his non-compete clause was set to expire on October 29. Amid speculations of his possible debut in AEW, Fightful Select reported that he might be looking forward to a change in career.

According to reports, Wyatt was in Los Angeles inquiring about potential projects in Hollywood. There were chances of him joining stars like John Cena, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Batista in Hollywood.

NXT's premium live event Halloween Havoc was held on October 26, 2021. Hours before the event, a potential spoiler surfaced regarding the show's main event.

According to WrestleVotes, the show could have marked the start of Bron Breakker's NXT Championship reign.

"Source states that tonight's Halloween Havoc looks to be the launching of the Bron Breakker era in NXT. At the same time, Tommaso Ciampa's run in NXT could be winding down. As evident, the youth movement with 2.0 continues," WrestleVotes tweeted.

This proved to be false as Tommaso Ciampa retained his title in the main event. Nonetheless, the Bron Breakker Era was inevitable as he now reigns as the NXT Champion.
