>>19289164adam pearce said in his video preview of tonight that solo’s opponent so far hasn’t been guessed by fans. so that probably rules out joe hendry, the most commonly guessed option.
>Do not forget, The Last Time is Now Tournament continues. The Young OG of NXT, Je'Von Evans, goes one-on-one with the Ring General, Gunther. And Solo Sikoa, not very happy with me, will oppose a very special surprise. And I gotta say it, you, the WWE Universe, have a ton of theories, and could they all be wrong? So far they are. And that is surprisingly official.https://x.com/WWE/status/1990120202458042798people are really fixating on the “theory” portion of his statement and think it’s the long awaited return of austin theory. which would make sense if the survivor series plans for him fell through.
WWE also uploaded a compilation of impromptu title changes and used jeff hardy as the thumbnail. they often upload spoilers in the form of these types of videos right before big matches. could be him, but he was a more common guess so he might be ruled out if pearce isn’t referring to austin theory there.
it could also be a returning jacob fatu here to KWAB solo again, but i don’t think that’s fitting, it’s not a big enough surprise for an msg show, cena’s last raw, and the very last spot in the tournament, it should be a big name. a returning jericho would be appropriate enough but they might save him for the rumble, his contract might not be up yet either.
on NXT, ava said that she was gonna send wrestlers (plural) to the tournament but we’ve only seen the bouncy one so far, it could be trick or oba making their main roster debuts.
maybe it’s the return of randy come to get one last shot at his eternal rival. he could turn heel during the tournament, so it’d be a face cena heel randy match, an inverse of backlash earlier this year.
