Would explain the conflicting reports on his status and who he'd be facing. Right now it seems to be yes and against Bray Wyatt.

Fred Durst revealed on Chicago radio why his band Limp Bizkit turned down WWE's offer to perform at WrestleMania 32 next year:

"I got kicked out of one of their events last year I think it was, maybe the year before that, all for throwing up a f***ing birdie at the camera. I just find the whole corp aspect of it to be f***in pussiefied these days; it's obvious why they sank so low in popularity compared to the late 90's and early 00's. They wanted us to do WM32 next year but f*** that. We want to do NJPW. We'd love to head over to Japan. We're still wrestling fans. Not WWE fans."

Pennsylvania Grand Jury Decision Imminent in 1983 Jimmy ‘Superfly’ Snuka Homicide Investigation

A final disposition is expected this week in the 18-month-old reexamination by the Lehigh County (Pennsylvania) Seventh Investigating Grand Jury of the 32-year-old mysterious death of Nancy Argentino in the hotel room of WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka.

Following 30th anniversary coverage of the controversial 1983 episode by the Allentown Morning Call — in turn was spurred by Concussion Inc.’s coverage, including in a chapter of my 2007 book Wrestling Babylon — county district attorney James Martin referred the dormant homicide file to the grand jury. Martin has told Nancy Argentino’s surviving family members that he will inform them of the grand jury’s decision by the expiration of its term (now set for the end of July after the court last year granted a six-month extension).

The Argentino sisters’ ebook through Concussion Inc., JUSTICE DENIED: The Untold Story of Nancy Argentino’s Death in Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka’s Hotel Room, has benefited charities associated with Nancy’s memory. The family now donates 100 percent of the ebook proceeds to Salerno, Italy, church Centro Evangelical dei Fratelli, which is developing a shelter for battered women,, among many other programs under its “Project Avalanche” umbrella.

In general, an independent contractor or freelancer is a worker who runs their own business but is hired by others for specific purposes and projects. But a growing number of employers have been using the independent contractor label on what had long been considered employees, often with the goal of shedding the cost of contributing to insurance and retirement benefits. A new piece of legislation seeks to make sure that businesses aren’t mislabeling employees as contractors.

he Payroll Fraud Prevention Act of 2015 [PDF], introduced by Sen. Robert Casey of Pennsylvania and Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota, would amend the Fair Labor Standards Act to require that workers understand whether they are being classified as an employee or a non-employee contractor, and what the implications are for non-employees in terms of benefits, and legal protections generally afforded to employees.
New bill under consideration from Congress that would have a huge effect in the WWE if it gets passed. WWE would no longer be able to get away with the independent contractor excuse they do with their roster or have sole power over a contract.
