WWE Has Discussed Adding New Members To Fan-Favorite Faction: Report
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A new report suggests that the dominant WWE faction led by Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Paul Heyman could be expanding. The group recently added powerhouse Bronson Reed to its ranks. According to two more notable names have been internally pitched to join the group. Current NXT star Ethan Page and recent free agent Ricky Starks are reportedly being considered. A History Of Ricky Starks Ricky Starks is one of the most prominent free agents in professional wrestling today. He has never had a formal run under a main WWE contract. Starks first rose to prominence in the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), where he became the inaugural NWA World Television Champion. He then joined All Elite Wrestling, where his charisma made him a breakout star. In AEW, Starks was a former FTW Champion and the winner of the 2023 Owen Hart Foundation Men's Tournament. He became a free agent in early 2025 after his AEW contract expired.

He built his reputation in promotions like Ring of Honor and a lengthy, successful run in TNA.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - APRIL 19: Seth Rollins flips off the ropes while wrestling Roman Reigns Triple Threat match during WrestleMania 41 at Allegiant Stadium on April 19, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Page spent several years in AEW before his contract expired at the end of 2024. He made his surprise debut for WWE on the NXT brand in early 2025. He has since become a featured star on the Tuesday night show. His potential call-up to join the Raw faction would be a rapid ascent to the main roster. These internal discussions suggest WWE sees the new faction as a major project. The potential addition of two accomplished stars like Starks and Page would make the group an even more formidable force. Rollins' WWE career has been defined by the factions he has both led and destroyed. He debuted as the "Architect" of The Shield alongside Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose, orchestrating their dominance before infamously betraying them to join The Authority. As Triple H's chosen "Future of WWE," this alliance propelled him to his first WWE Championship in the "Heist of the Century" at WrestleMania 31. Years later, he transformed into the cult-like "Monday Night Messiah," leading a faction of disciples that included Murphy and AOP to enforce his vision on Monday Night Raw.

WWE Worlds Collide 2025 results, awards, analysis: El Hijo del Vikingo, Chad Gable deliver one of WWE's best of the year
It's a big weekend for WWE, as its partnership with AAA kicked off properly with WWE Worlds Collide 2025 on Saturday inside Los Angeles' Kia Forum. The event served as a good appetizer to WWE Money In the Bank 2025. Two titles were on the line, highlighted by the AAA Mega Championship that saw the champion El Hijo del Vikingo defend against Chad Gable in a great showcase to close the event. As the only singles match on the card, it was bound to get plenty of time, especially with the big title implication. After several stunning near-falls, Gable ultimately fell short to the high-flying Vikingo's patented 630 splash. Advertisement The co-main event featured NXT North American Champion Ethan Page against three challengers in a Fatal 4-Way. Page retained in yet another highway theft type of finish, scoring the pin on Laredo Kid to overcome the odds. Je'Von Evans and Rey Fenix played critical roles that fully displayed their incredible talents. In the night's lone women's match, former NXT Women's Champion Stephanie Vaquer joined forces with Lola Vice to take out Chik Tormenta and Dalys. It was largely a showcase for Vaquer, who will look to capture the women's Money In the Bank briefcase later in the night. I give Worlds Collide a crown score of: 👑 8/10. 👑 Worlds Collide Uncrowned Nightly Award Winners: MVP: Chad Gable Thanks in part to his hidden El Grande Americano gimmick (so we assume), Gable has really gotten time to shine in recent months. His match with Vikingo was as much of a reminder as the world could've asked for about how great he is. Gable is a genuine main-event talent who, if presented with a more serious persona — think "wrestling machine" Kurt Angle — would be widely regarded as one of the best on the planet. Advertisement I don't like that the Angle comparisons have gotten as far as they have, as easy as they are to make, but WWE is in too deep now, so let's embrace them to the fullest. Uncrowned Gem of the Night: Mr. Iguana Mr. Iguana was an absolute star in his match. Very clearly a silly, fun and borderline harmless gimmick, Mr. Iguana can go when the bell rings, and is just an entertaining wrestler to watch. You can only take something like what he is so far, but for what it is, it's a great time. Match of the Night: El Hijo de Vikingo vs. Chad Gable This was a foregone conclusion, and that almost felt by design. While some of the massive near-fall spots toward the end of the match were a bit too ridiculous for my liking, they were executed beautifully. The styles contrast between both men blended wonderfully and delivered one of the best WWE matches of the year. Advertisement Best Spot: Fenix's top-rope Spanish fly to Kid into an Ego's Edge from Page Take your pick between the title matches for the card's best spot. It could be any of them, but the sequence between Fenix, Kid and Page flowed so gorgeously that it deserves some extra love. If you missed Worlds Collide, definitely go back and watch the final two matches, at the very least.

WWE's Money in the Bank, Worlds Collide part of wild day of pro wrestling
The pro wrestling world will be traded to two major events on Saturday. WWE and Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide will co-produce Worlds Collide to start the day. The event will feature wrestlers from both promotions as well as performers from Total Nonstop Action. It's the first cross-promotion event that will feature AAA and WWE wrestlers since 1997. WWE held Worlds Collide in 2022 for stars of NXT and NXT UK. It's also the first major event for WWE and AAA since WWE announced the acquisition of AAA during WrestleMania 41. Wrestling fans who are only really familiar with WWE and the three brands under it will get a healthy dose of Lucha Libre competition. El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., Pagano and Psycho Clown will be in a six-man tag-team match against SmackDown's Legado Del Fantasma — the group featuring Santos Escobar, Angel and Berto. Lince Dorado will team up with Latino World Order members Dragon Lee and Cruz Del Toro in a separate six-man tag-team match against Octagón Jr., Aero Star and Mr. Iguana. Additionally, Stephanie Vaquer will start her day in a tag-team match with Lola Vice against Mexican wrestling legend Chik Tormenda and Panamanian wrestling legend Dalys. Vaquer will later take part in the women's Money in the Bank ladder match. Two championships will also be on the line at Worlds Collide. NXT North American champion Ethan Page will look to defend his title against Laredo Kid, Rey Fenix and Je'Von Evans. Page shocked Ricky Saints last month when he won the title, but now faces three high-flyers who are itching for some gold. The match a lot of fans will be interested in is El Hijo del Vikingo vs. Chad Gable for the AAA Mega Championship. Vikingo won the title against Alberto El Patrón last month. He now takes on Gable, who has had his struggles against luchadores over the last few months. Gable and Vikingo have tussled in recent weeks as well, and now Saturday there will be gold on the line. The dust from Worlds Collide will have to settle quickly as the attention will turn to Money in the Bank as six men and six women, respectively, will look to grab the briefcase which contains a contract for a world title shot anytime, anywhere. Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, Penta, Seth Rollins, Andrade and El Grande Americano will compete in the men's match. Vaquer, Alexa Bliss, Roxanne Perez, Rhea Ripley, Giulia and Naomi will compete on the women's side. Last year, Drew McIntyre won the match and tried to cash in during Damian Priest's match with Seth Rollins. Priest still hung on. Tiffany Stratton won the women's match and later cashed in on Nia Jax. She's still the WWE women's champion. Elsewhere, Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch's bitter feud will come to a head with the Women's Intercontinental Championship on the line. Lynch turned on Valkyria on "Monday Night Raw" following their tag-team title win at WrestleMania 41. It quickly became personal between the two performers, and it will be put to rest on Saturday. John Cena will be in action as he teams up with Logan Paul to take on Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes. Cena defeated Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41, and Rhodes returned to action a few weeks ago. Cena interfered in Uso's World Heavyweight Championship defense against Paul, leading to the eventual tag-team match that was set up for Money in the Bank. Worlds Collide is set to begin at 3 p.m. ET, and Money in the Bank is set to begin at 7 p.m. ET.
