WWE Rumors/News 10/25/17: Eellis continues to tease return, top merchandise sellers, Vince McMahon on RAW next week

Seth Rollins has begun his "Road to Recovery" and is back to the gym. Estimates have Rollins being out for up to six months, but it appears Rollins is trying to push the time table up and come back even sooner. Best of luck to him!

Sasha Banks contract with the WWE was seemingly renewed last night after week-long negotiations. When Sasha and the Vixens brand in general will return is still a mystery, but Alan is expected to make an announcement about it next month.

It appears that Vince McMahon will be making his return to WWE TV well before the Slammy Awards. One of our reporters went to Lockhart Stadium in Florida and was told that Vince McMahon is going to be advertised to appear on next week's RAW show. After reaching out for further detail, I've learned he will be involved in a few segments throughout the night, including a big one with "Psycho" Matthew Ehlert.

Former European Champion Eellis posted this picture with no caption on Twitter, fueling speculation about his WWE return. We also received word that Eellis was backstage at a recent WWE event in Canada and talks went down between himself, Alan Snyder, and Anthony Chandler. Our source tells us that Eellis will most likely be returning to the RAW brand.

Hayden Storms, Saxby, Washington, whatever his name is has donated money to several hurricane relief efforts. 

Latest update on Aaron Snyder is that he may be returning in January of 2018 to the WWE. The plan seems to be to have a feud with Hayden, and Aaron coming back as a big baby face to take on the hero killer. 

CM Punk also won't be back in the WWE until 2018. The current month is unknown, but estimates say that he won't make his return until Royal Rumble season. There have been talks of having CM Punk return for another Rumble win and a WrestleMania match against the Undisputed Champion. Other Rumble winners have been discussed, but Punk's name keeps popping up. We wish CM Punk a speedy recovery. 

Zack Poe has wrestled his final match in the Mexican wrestling promotion AAA, wrapping up his best of three feud with Mil Muertes. Zack has moved back to the US with Eve, buying property in Tennessee. 

Maven has officially retired from in-ring performances and is now signed onto WWE as a road agent, producer, and trainer. Maven will start at the performance center, lead by Shawn Michaels, next week.

Speaking of the Heartbreak Kid, we have sources close to us that say HBK may be making an in-ring return soon. Even more exciting is that a full-on DX reunion could be in the works. 

Chris Jericho could be on his way out of the WWE soon. The belief is that there isn't much else for Jericho to do at the moment, but a tag team with Eli Drake has been discussed. Jericho is currently in intense negotiations with Alan Snyder. He also has an open contract offer from New Japan Pro Wrestling.

Ryan Nathen is headed back to the main event title scene very, very soon. Ryan is seen as WWE's "elite" class and remains one of their top golden boys. Ryan recently signed a 7 year, 7 million dollars a year contract with the WWE. Alan has also brought back the pay-per-view extra pay, which Vince McMahon terminated when the WWE Network first began. 

With the return of Global Force on last weeks SmackDown, talks about a feud with both The Shield and the New Shield have been discussed, as well as introducing a new "Trio Title" in the WWE, with Global Force being the first champions. More news on that next time.

Despite being out of action and off of WWE TV in general for the of October, Anthony Chandler is still the top merchandise seller for the month. Anthony's hoodie, bow, and quiver outfit is a hot seller. The rest of the list is as follows:

1. Anthony Chandler (Change: Same as last month) (Hoodie outfit set)
2. Seth Rollins (Change: Same as last month) (Doomsday Slayer shirt)
3. Alan Snyder (Change: Up 1 spot from last month) (30 Years of Doom shirt)
4. CM Punk (Change: Down 1 spot from last month) (Straight Edge shirt)
5. Ryan Nathen (Change: N/A last month) (The King Is Back shirt)
6. Hayden Saxby (Change: Up 2 from last month) 
7. Dolph Ziggler (Change: Down 1 from last month) (King of the Ring shirt)
8. Kurt Angle (Change: Down 1 from last month) (GOAT shirt)
9. "Psycho" Matthew Ehlert (Change: Up 1 from last month) (Psycho Mask)
10. Eli Drake (Change: N/A from last month) ('Dummy' button)
