FROM THE RUMOR MILL
According to Bryan Alvarez of F4WOnline, several WWE production staff members are currently stranded at the Qatar airport following the closure of the country's airspace amid escalating military tensions between Iran and the United States. The staff had arrived early to prepare for the Night of Champions Premium Live Event.
The situation intensified after the U.S. reportedly bombed multiple nuclear sites in Iran, prompting Iran to retaliate with a missile strike on a U.S. military base in Qatar. In response, Qatar shut down its airspace for safety reasons, affecting travel plans for WWE personnel and casting uncertainty over the event's logistics.

LA Knight has officially been written off WWE programming following a brutal attack by Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker on last week’s SmackDown. After suffering multiple Tsunamis from Reed, Knight was left severely injured, halting his rising momentum and removing him as a potential obstacle for Seth Rollins.
With Knight out of the picture, speculation is growing that Roman Reigns could now step in to disrupt Rollins’ rumored Money in the Bank cash-in at Night of Champions. Reigns’ return in this role would add a major twist to the event and reignite his long-standing rivalry with The Visionary.
