3 AEW rumors we hope are true and 2 we hope aren't: Kevin Owens and SmackDown star leaving WWE, Tony Khan unlikely to sign Jeff Hardy, Bray Wyatt's potential debut teased?

#2 Hopefully not true: AEW teased Bray Wyatt's potential debut on Dynamite this week?

At the beginning of the recently-concluded AEW Dynamite Diamond Battle Royale, shades of blue and red light appeared for a while before disappearing off. The word out is that neither of the announcers acknowledged it, nor that it seemed like a production issue.

If you recall, AEW did something similar before Malakai Black's arrival. The company may have been teasing the same about Bray Wyatt. Even Tony Khan himself recently hinted at some impending surprises down the road.

We hope this assumption is not true. Though having a creative genius like Bray Wyatt would bolster the AEW roster, it makes no sense to have his debut teased during the battle royale, which doesn't seem to link with his arrival anywhere. Plus, the battle royale consisted of underutilized stars except for MJF. For the most part, this entire playoff feels absurd.

#1 Hopefully true: Brian Cage is still with AEW

Wrestling fans are concerned over Brian Cage's status with AEW since he hasn't been seen on AEW programming in any capacity for several weeks. As per Fightful Select, Cage is still with the company. He was also present backstage during a recent Dynamite episode, which went down at the Gas South Arena in Duluth, Georgia.

The former FTW Champion even wrestled on the Jericho Cruise against Serpentico, Isiah Kassidy, and Angelico back in October.

We hope this report is accurate since the AEW fanbase still wants to see Brian Cage break out as a main event star in Tony Khan's promotion, regardless of his underwhelming booking. Cage may still be an AEW employee, but he could decide not to renew his contract once it expires. As a result, Khan needs to start pushing him to his true potential before it's too late.
