WWE Replaces Money in the Bank, New Rumors on Roman Reigns' Relative Zilla Fatu & Potential TNA Sale

Bleacher Report catches you up on the latest news from the WWE Universe.

WWE Adds Sunday Night Main Event to Schedule

Monday started with WWE confirming Money in the Bank would take place on Oct. 10, then continued with the news that a new Sunday Night Main Event show has been added to the schedule.

Michael Cole announced on Raw that the first-ever Sunday Night's Main Event show will be held in Atlanta on Sept. 6.

After WWE moved WrestleMania 42 from New Orleans to Las Vegas in October 2025, it was announced that the Big Easy would host the 2026 Money in the Bank show on Sept. 6.

Per Fightful Select, WWE wound up pushing the Money in the Bank date back by another month due to a "scheduling matter with broadcast partners."

It's unclear exactly what the scheduling issues are, though that is the first full weekend of college football. There are no games scheduled for ESPN on Sept. 6, but ABC will broadcast the Louisville vs. Mississippi matchup from Nissan Stadium in Nashville.

The new show is not one of the traditional WWE premium live events, so it will be broadcast on Peacock instead of ESPN Unlimited.

Sunday Night's Main Event will also help to bridge the gap between premium live events, as there was not anything scheduled between SummerSlam on Aug. 1-2 and Money in the Bank on Oct. 10.

This will be the first Main Event show held in Atlanta since July 2025 when Goldberg lost his retirement match to Gunther in the main event.

WWE Potentially Adding New Bloodline Member

Since WWE is going back to the Bloodline stable for Roman Reigns and his family, it's only fitting that a new member could be added to the mix soon.

Per Mike Johnson of PWInsider (h/t Felix Upton of Ringside News), Zilla Fatu was seen at the Performance Center on Monday amid talk of WWE having interest in signing him.

Fatu is the son of WWE legend Umaga and was trained by WWE Hall of Famer Booker T. He has primarily worked on the indie scene with House of Glory, but has also made appearances in GCW.

The highest-profile match for Fatu so far was against MJF for the AEW world title at the HOG No Turning Back show on Feb. 20. He has not been shy about campaignig for a shot at WWE, most notably last October when he asked fans to help him make it through the WWE ID program.

Once WWE decided to bring back the Bloodline stable by having Jacob Fatu acknowledge Roman Reigns after their bout at Clash in Italy with the Usos also in the mix, it stood to reason that new members would be added.

Fatu would at least be a new face in the faction and he is only 26 at a time when WWE needs to be focused on building up new young stars. If he does end up being signed and that is part of the plan, it would be a good idea for creative to follow through on.

Possible WWE-TNA Sale

Nearly 18 months after WWE and TNA announced a multi-year working partnership deal, new details about WWE potentially taking control of the promotion have come out.

Per Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio (h/t Steve Carrier of Ringside News), the agreement includes a provision that allows WWE to purchase TNA if they want to do so:

"I mean, as far as, like, what's going to happen, you know, I mean, there's a, There's a deal in there when they made the working agreement, you know, part of the working agreement is if WWE wants to buy them, they can buy them. There's a set price and everything of what they'll. What they'll pay."

Meltzer went on to note that doesn't guarantee WWE will buy it, noting this was something the company did in the past with other promotions in the early days of the WWE Network and nothing ever came of it:

"And so they were all presented with a deal. And it was basically, we want. Will, we're going to start putting all your cards on the WWE Network. So for them, it's like, wow, you know, way more exposure. But in all of the deals after we have the right. And I, you know, and there might have been a different money figure for each one, but, you know, it wasn't like a million dollars. We will, you know, when this is over, we will like buy you for a million dollars or we won't buy you. There was. They didn't have to buy them, but they had the right to buy them."

There's no indication of how much WWE would have to pay for TNA. Another element to this discussion is WWE doesn't really have a need for as much content as they once did because they don't have their own network anymore.

All of WWE's events in the United States are streamed by third-party outlets, like ESPN Unlimited and Peacock. Netflix has streaming rights to premium live events for fans outside of the U.S.

TNA is also in an awkward position right now, even with a new television deal on AMC giving the promotion increased exposure. Steve Maclin and Myla Grace were both granted a release over the weekend after requesting to be let go.

Mike Santana, who is the current TNA world champion, is rumored to have significant interest from WWE with his contract set to expire next month.

There doesn't appear to be a lot of strong momentum behind TNA at the moment, but WWE having the option to buy it does add plenty of intrigue about the future of the brand if anything does happen.
