Welcome to the latest edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's WWE Rumor Roundup. Today, we have some interesting stories involving the likes of Seth Rollins and Goldberg.

The WWE Hall of Famer's retirement match is seemingly set in stone as well, with WrestleMania 41 the rumored destination for it. Meanwhile, The Visionary might not be happy with the latest update on his future, while a former opponent of his will be out of action for at least six months.

So, without further ado, let's get into today's Rumor Roundup.


New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#1. Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk rumored for RAW's Netflix premiere

The feud between CM Punk and Seth Rollins is heating up, with previous plans suggesting they would face off at WrestleMania 41. However, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Dr. Chris Featherstone of Sportskeeda Wrestling has reported that Punk vs. Rollins may instead take place on the January 6 episode of RAW, which is WWE's premiere on Netflix.

It isn't known if this means the two will have another match at WrestleMania 41, but this rumor doesn't bode well for Seth Rollins. He has actively been pursuing this match, while it looks like CM Punk may get more involved with Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns.

It would be disappointing, particularly for The Visionary, if this match doesn't happen at The Show of Shows. Rollins was supposed to face Punk at WrestleMania 40, before the latter's injury forced WWE to scrap those plans.


#2. Goldberg to retire at WrestleMania 41?

Speaking of WrestleMania 41, it seems like Goldberg's final match will be at the Las Vegas supercard. The WWE Hall of Famer was always likely to face Gunther, especially after their angle at Bad Blood in October, with the only question being when the match would happen. According to Xero News, Goldberg vs. Gunther will indeed take place at 'Mania.

There had previously been some speculation on The Ring General facing John Cena at WrestleMania 41. So, if this rumor is true, it will be interesting to see what The Cenation Leader does at The Show of Shows


#3. When Bronson Reed and Jimmy Uso may return to WWE

The Bloodline WarGames Match at Survivor Series featured multiple legitimate injuries. Among them were Jimmy Uso and Bronson Reed.

While Big Jim broke his toe, the Australian star had it way worse. Reed suffered a broken foot and is set for surgery. WrestleVotes spoke about the situation during a Live Q&A with Bill Apter on Backstage Pass, reporting on when the two will be able to return to WWE.

Jimmy Uso will likely be back in January, but Bronson Reed is out for a while. WrestleVotes stated that he won't be a part of WrestleMania 41 and might return in May or June:

"Jimmy Uso, as far as I know, January. Bronson Reed, I believe, they [WWE] are targeting May if not June. So that's unforunate. You know, not to say that's the same injury at all but Adam Cole snapped his ankle last year at [AEW] Grand Slam, and he was out almost a year. So, it's gonna be a while for Bronson Reed, unfortunately."
