Karrion Kross made his surprise return to WWE earlier this month. His goal was to establish himself as a main event talent and he did so by attacking Drew McIntyre.

While a lot of people expected Kross to return after Triple H took over WWE creative, not many thought his comeback will be put together so quickly. Turns out, McIntyre himself also found out about it at the last second.

The former WWE champion spoke to Chris Van Vliet recently. When asked about the shocking return of Kross, McIntyre explained that he was surprised himself:

“I was very surprised. I didn’t know till the very last second.”

– Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre mentioned how Karrion Kross is someone who deserves an opportunity. Though he made it clear that this opportunity will not come at his expense:

“[He’s] somebody who’s worked hard for an opportunity, deserves that opportunity, and is getting the biggest opportunity of his career. Unfortunately for him, it’s not gonna come at Drew McIntyre’s expense.”

There are a lot of rumors of what Triple H is planning for the future of the unified WWE Universal championship. Many believe that he will use Kross to somehow split the world titles but there is no word on how it may happen.

• Drew McIntyre Reveals Favorite WrestleMania Matches From His Childhood

Like many other current wrestling stars, Drew McIntyre grew up being fan of the sport. He got to witness the Attitude Era at its peak during his childhood. It’s no surprise that some of the top WrestleMania moments from that time period are also his favorite Mania moments. The former WWE champion recently spoke to Chris Van Vliet on the occasion of WrestleMania 39 tickets going on sale.

McIntyre was asked about his favorite matches on the Grandest Stage of Them All. He first mentioned how he was completely obsessed with wrestling growing up:

“I was completely obsessed, watched everything I could get my hands on. WrestleMania was such an important event every single year. My brother and I [would] just stay awake to one, two o’clock in the morning, on a school night, and be very tired at school the next day. It was always, a very big event for us.”

‘I May Have Beat Him Up’: Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre then listed out some of his favorite matches featuring stars such as Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold Steve Austin

“Some of the big memories as a kid for me, as a Bret Hart fan [was when] Bret was on the losing side of a really big one. One of my earliest memories with Bret Hart [and] Shawn Michaels [at] WrestleMania 12. One of my good friends at school was a Shawn guy. I was a Bret guy. The next day he kind of rubbed it in about the result and I may have beat him up at school.

Bret Hart [and] Stone Cold Steve Austin [at WrestleMania 13], an incredible match. One of the best matches of all time from a storytelling perspective. Physicality perspective and the double turn at the end. Just unbelievable. I remember how much I loved the theatrics, WrestleMania 14, of Undertaker [and] Kane the first match. The build, Takers’ entrance, just Kane’s presentation. [The] story overall, and just these two monsters going at it. I can go on and on and on. But just off the top of my head, these are the three that just popped right in there.”

Sasha Banks and Naomi have kept quiet about their wrestling future since their Raw walkout, but the duo have been making public appearances.

The most recent of these appearances came on Monday when the former WWE women’s tag team champions attended the premiere for new Marvel series She-Hulk.

She Hulk is a new Disney+ series from Marvel. The show follows lawyer Jennifer Walters who becomes a superhero after receiving a blood transfusion from Bruce Banner. It’s set to premiere on August 18, 2022.

Banks herself posted photos from the She-Hulk launch event on social media. As seen in the pictures below, both the wrestling stars were donning green attires matching the occasion:

Naomi also posted this video clip of her and Sasha breaking it down for the cameras:

Sasha Banks & Naomi

Sasha Banks and Naomi walked out of WWE back in May due to creative frustrations. At one point it appeared they were done with the company, with reports indicating that Banks had gotten her release.

Things changed after Vince McMahon retired and Triple H took over the creative in the promotion. It’s now believed that Sasha Banks and Naomi have agreed to return to WWE, and a deal has been worked out.

WWE has not yet commented on their return, but it’s believed that they will show up once the ongoing women’s tag team championship tournament has concluded.

WWE superstar Seth Rollins was recently spotted at a Game Changer Wrestling event that took place over the weekend.

GCW held the Homecoming event from the Showboat Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The event was split into two nights.

The first night of the event saw Jon Moxley defending the GCW world championship against Effy. Night two of the PPV featured the Vows Renewal Ceremony of Matt Cardona and Chelsea Green.

Rollins didn’t enter the arena with the fans. The former Universal champion however, was spotted catching the action from behind the entrance curtain:

There is no word yet on what Seth Rollins was doing at the GCW show. It’s assumed that he was there supporting his Shield teammate in Moxley.

The Visionary is currently involved in a feud with Riddle. The two were supposed to have a match at SummerSlam. Though this bout was cancelled and Riddle was pulled from WWE programming.

• Seth Rollins Responds To Comments About His Behavior In NXT

The Ultimate Bro made his return to WWE TV on Raw this Monday. He resumed his feud with Rollins and attacked the former world champion on the show.

There is no word yet on what the company is planning for these two. It’s likely that we will see them going one on one at the upcoming Clash At The Castle PPV.

After making a surprise appearance following the main event of Raw last week, Dexter Lumis once again tried to invade the Red Branded show this week.

The episode featured a match between AJ Styles and Bobby Lashley for the United States Championship. At one point during the bout, The Miz and Ciampa showed up at the ringside.

Miz was ready to attack Styles while Ciampa distracted the referee. However, Dexter Lumis apparently saved AJ from the attack.

Lumis stalked Miz which stopped him from taking the shot on Styles. The Tortured Artist was then quickly taken out by the security and disappeared from the broadcast.

Fans who were in attendance later posted videos from the show. As seen below, they show Dexter Lumis entering the arena and being escorted out by the security:

The former NXT star was one of the featured stars of the development brand during the Wednesday Night Wars era.

However, Vince McMahon didn’t find his character interesting enough and he was released from his contract in April this year.

Triple H who has been on a hiring spree since taking over WWE creative brought him back last week. He has also re-signed stars such as Karrion Kross and Scarlett.

WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus will be returning to the company for a couple of Live Event appearances this weekend.

The wrestling veteran announced on Twitter that she will be a part of the live event from Kingston on Saturday and London on Sunday:

“Guess who’s coming to the @WWE Live Events this weekend!! Come see @FightOwensFight, @DomMysterio35  and @AlexaBliss_WWE and yours truly. Welp someone has to come and maintain control…”

WWE has not announced what Trish Stratus will be doing on the show, but it won’t be a surprise if she gets physical during the event.

The former champion made similar appearances during WrestleMania week earlier this year. She had an altercation with Becky Lynch during a house show and also took part in The TKO Show with Kevin Owens.

• Trish Stratus is Ready to get Back in the Ring

Trish Stratus had a successful WWE career in early 2000. She won the women’s championship a record 7 times during her run and inspired many girls to pursue a wrestling career.

The Hall of Famer made an in ring return in 2018 during Royal Rumble. She competed in several matches after her return including a tag team match at Evolution. Trish concluded this run with a match against Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam 2019.

Former NXT superstar Dexter Lumis continued to try and crash Monday Night Raw this week again after making headlines last week.

Last week’s episode of the red-branded show featured a mysterious car crash that was seen in the background of many segments.

It ultimately led to the WWE return of Lumis after the main event between AJ Styles and The Miz. Though his appearance was brief and the security took him out very quickly.

The Tortured Artist made his presence felt on Raw once again this week, during the US championship match between AJ Styles and Bobby Lashley.

The Miz and Ciampa showed up at the ringside during this bout. The A-lister found an opportunity to attack Styles as Ciampa distracted the referee, but Dexter foiled this plan.

Dexter Lumis hopped over the barricade near the commentary desk. He stalked Miz before the security once again removed him from the arena.

Lumis was released from his contract in April this year. He is one of the stars Triple H has brought back since taking over the WWE creative.

The company has yet to introduce him as an official part of the roster. It’s possible that we may see him being assigned to Raw officially during the upcoming draft.

• WWE RAW Results (8/15/22): US Title Match, Women’s Tournament, Dolph Ziggler vs. Theory, Dakota Kai

Current GCW world champion Jon Moxley will be competing in a title vs career match against hardcore veteran Nick Gage.

With the rise of Game Changer Wrestling as the modern era ECW, Gage has emerged as the face of Deathmatch wrestling. In the past year he has wrestled extreme matches against people like Matt Cardona and Chris Jericho.

However, the death match that seemed to have affected him the most was against Jon Moxley. These two competed in October last year where Mox defeated Gage.

The indie star hasn’t been very active in the ring since that match. He has only wrestled a handful of times since his big defeat, leading to speculations about an impending retirement.

Title vs Career

On night 1 of GCW homecoming this Saturday, Moxley successfully defended his title against Effy. Gage made his return after this bout and confronted the GCW champion.

Gage mentioned that his career might be coming to an end, but he has unfinished business with the Interim AEW champion. He then challenged Mox for a match.

Jon Moxley then cut a promo explaining that it might be the time to put the dog down. He said that Gage will have to put his career on the line for a shot at the GCW title, and Nick accepted this challenge:

There is no word yet on when this match will take place. With Nick Gage’s recent comments about his future, there is no surity that we’re going to see him wrestle after this bout.

GCW Homecoming Night 1 Quick Results

The following are quick results from Saturday night’s GCW Homecoming Weekend (Nigh 1) event from the Showboat Hotel in Atlantic City, NJ:

• Nick Wayne def. Starboy Charlie
• Jordan Oliver def. Ninja Mack

Goldberg is done apologizing to Bret Hart.

Ever since the unfortunate kick that ended Hart’s career in 1999, the wrestling veteran has blamed the heavyweight star for costing him millions. While Goldberg has apologized to Hart many times since then, Bret has chosen not to forgive the former world champion even two decades after the incident.

On Talk Is Jericho, the former Universal champion was asked if Hart’s continued animosity toward him has hurt his feelings. He claimed that he understands Bret’s sentiment to a point. However, after so many years of trying to make peace, he is done apologizing now:

‘I Am Done’: Goldberg

“Yeah, but I get it. I mean, I understand to a point. But I’m like yeah, 100%. Bret Hart is still up here, man. He’s an idol to anybody and everybody who would have ever been in this business. I’m a human being like everybody else. There was absolutely no malicious intent whatsoever. None. Zero. So does it bother me? Yeah. I’ll take it to my grave.

But also, I gotta say, man. I am kinda at a turning point. I am done saying I’m sorry. I have said it a million times. I am not gonna continue to tear myself down. I’m done. I said I’m sorry. If he can’t accept my apology, it is what it is. You gotta move on. And I’ve moved on. So I won’t be breaching this subject too much more.”

Miro is one of the most successful non-American wrestlers of the current generation. He took a huge gamble when he moved to America from Bulgaria and has built himself from ground up. Though this journey was not easy by any means, and the former TNT champion had to struggle from his very first month in America.

The AEW star was recently interview by Renee Paquette for The Sessions podcast. Opening up about his struggles before making a name in wrestling, he recalled how he got fired from his job and was on the street within a month of moving countries:

“Well it started with a hurdle because I came as an exchange student. I was supposed to work for three months and go back. I had a contract. But after the first month, I got kicked out. I got fired. They told me I’m not good at my job. I was a painter of houses. I had to paint outside houses. I have never done this in my life.

I’m not saying I was good at my job but to fire me, to kick me on the street, kick me out of the house [wasn’t fair]. Because they provided the housing which we paid for. I’m in America for one month, and I got kicked out with 150 dollars on the street. I’m a month in.”

‘Two Bedroom Apartment And Seven Of Us’: Miro

Detailing how he got out of that situation, Miro revealed that some guys from work took him in. So he went and lived with six other guys in a small apartment:

“Well, there was a couple of guys that I knew from work. They were like, ‘Okay, come live with us.’ I was 20 years old. And took a huge debt to come to America. About five grand. And this is Bulgaria. You know in Bulgaria five grand is [huge], Especially [in] 2005. So they took me in. We lived in a two-bedroom apartment about seven of us.”

Though despite all the troubles, Miro kept a positive outlook. He mentioned that he expected these things and said that it’s what life teaches you.”

“It’s okay. It’s America. You expect these things. You know, you watch so many movies. You’re like ‘Shit happens, you gotta persevere’. I think that’s what life teaches you.”

Miro continued working hard and took on many odd jobs. He finally got signed to a development contract by WWE in 2010, and the rest is history.

WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels has apparently been tasked with bringing the former NXT champion Johnny Gargano back in the company.

The former DIY member has been in news lately with speculations about his next move. He teased a return to the industry just recently.

Fightful Select provided some update on his potential return to WWE. They noted that shortly after the change in WWE management, Michaels was tasked with reaching out to Johnny Gargano.

There is no word on how the conversation between the wrestling veteran and the former NXT star went, but it’s clear HBK was the one who was to be in contact with him.

• Johnny Gargano Mentions Pros & Cons With AEW and WWE

Johnny Gargano In NXT

Johnny Gargano was one of the top stars of NXT during its rise to popularity. He first made his name as part of the DIY tag team with Tommaso Ciampa and later went on to become a successful singles star.

During his 6 year long run with the development brand, the former WWE star became a one time tag team champion, a three-time North American champion and one time NXT champion. These accolades are proof of how highly Triple H thinks of him.

Gargano took a break from wrestling last December after the birth of his son. With recent returns such as Dexter Lumis and Karrion Kross, it seems to be the perfect time for the former champion to make his comeback as well.

Former AEW star Stu Grayson has cited the lack of TV time as the reason behind his departure from Tony Khan’s promotion. The former Dark Order member recently had an interview with Slam Wrestling. He discussed his post-AEW appearances and more during the talk.

Speaking about his departure from the company, Grayson mentioned how Kenny Omega has been trying to work with him for a long time. Stu spent most of his AEW career wrestling matches on Dark and only got to wrestle on TV in multi-men matches. He noted how it’s hard to show how good you are in limited TV time:

“It’s very hard to show the world how good you are in such a limited amount of time, I would trade in a hundred dark matches for 15 minutes on television,”

• Another Big AEW Star Seemingly Unhappy With The Company

Stu Grayson then explained that his intention wasn’t to make more money but to be given more opportunities and be challenged:

“I never wanted to get paid to do nothing. I’d rather make less money and be useful than being useless and make a ton of money.

That’s not how I am. I need to be challenged. I would go to the gym and hit a massive leg day so that way I’d feel challenged,”

Stu Grayson left AEW in May this year. His contract with the company had expired and both sides were unable to reach a new agreement.

John Cena has followed in the footsteps of The Rock and built a successful career for himself in Hollywood. The Cenation Leader credits The Great One for not only giving him inspiration but one of the best pieces of advice he has ever received as well.

The 16-time world champion recently took part in a Q&A at Comic-Con Wales. He was asked if he has ever received any advice from The People’s champion. Replying to it, Cena revealed a very simple piece of advice that did wonders for him.

“He is one of the reasons I have life outside the WWE. He gave me some of the best advice I’ve ever been given. I remember I got an audition for a small part in a movie called Train Wreck.” recalled John Cena, “There was a pretty thorough audition process, and I was very nervous. Because I’ve never been through that before.”

The Rock’s Advice

John Cena was looking to follow in The Rock’s footsteps by crossing over from WWE to Hollywood. The Rock, who is currently one of the biggest movie stars in the world, told Cena to look within himself for the key to success.

“I was able to ask him, ‘Hey man, do you have any advice?’ He said, ‘They asked you there for a reason dude, just be yourself.’ He, in that one sentence, allowed me to calm down. Allowed me to be myself, which I’m really a goofball. And they allowed me to do that on screen. Naked. He’s the reason I’m here.”

Apart from this, John Cena also talked about things such as his Mt Rushmore of wrestling and more. You can check out his full Q&A below:

John Cena is one of the greatest professional wrestlers in the history of the business. His 16 world title victories, tied with Ric Flair is a testament to this fact. With Cena not looking to retire anytime soon, the big question in people’s mind is if we can see him breaking this record as well.

The Cenation Leader recently took part in a Comic Con Wales Q&A. He was asked what he thinks about a potential 17th world title victory. Replying to it, Cena mentioned how wrestling is a young man’s game. Though he also noted that there is a chance as long as he hasn’t called it a career:

“That’s a very difficult question. Like I said, I know I’m not done in the ring.” said John Cena, “But I am realistic with where I’m at in my life. I’m 45 and I can tell you from being a 16-time champion, it is very tough to win.

He continued: “The top of that mountain is a young man’s game. So I’m not done in the ring. but I’m not certain that that’s in the cards. We’ll see. [There are] stories yet to be told, because if I’m in the ring, I got a chance. I am just saying I’ve been there, so kudos to the young guys doing it.”

Apart from this, John Cena also talked about his favorite match, the Peacemaker series and more. You can check out his full interview below:

WWE Hall of Famer Edge has been challenged for a big match on the upcoming WWE Raw episode from Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada on August 22.

This week’s episode of Raw saw Judgement Day member Damian Priest issuing a challenge to the Rated R Superstar. He mentioned how it’s been a while since the wrestling veteran competed on Raw:

“Edge hasn’t wrestled on Monday Night Raw in Toronto in what 12 years? Well, here it is – I’m officially challenging you to a match. One-on-one, you and me. The Rated-R Superstar vs. The Punishment of the Judgment Day. If you still have a set, let’s end this!”

The Canadian star went on to accept the challenge from his former protege on Raw Talk. He mentioned how Priest would call him for advice when he first started in WWE:

The Attitude Era star introduced Finn Balor as the newest member of Judgement Day during the June 6 episode of Raw earlier this year. However, he was kicked out of the group he created not long after this.

Edge stayed off TV for a few weeks to sell the attack. He made his return during the SummerSlam PPV and he has been feuding with the Raw faction ever since.

Former NXT star Dexter Lumis made a surprise WWE return at this week’s episode of Raw in the most unexpected way possible.

The episode featured several segments on the show in which a crashed car was visible in the background. The purposeful framing of these segments intrigued fans throughout the night.

People’s curiosity was finally resolved after the main event. The final match of the show saw AJ Styles defeating The Miz in a No DQ match.

However, as Styles was celebrating his victory in the main event, the cameras cut to the crowd. We saw Dexter Lumis being taken away by the police.

We only saw a glimpse of the former NXT star during the broadcast of the show. The following fan video provides a detailed look at his brief Raw appearance:

Dexter Lumis was a featured NXT star during the Wednesday Night Wars. His character is known to be a Triple H creation.

Like many others, Lumis was also released from his WWE contract in April this year. There had been reports of Triple H bringing back more released stars after Karrion Kross and Scarlett. It’s no surprise that Lumis is one of them.

There is no word on what the plans are for Dexter Lumis moving forward but we can expect to see a lot more of him in the coming times.

• WWE RAW Results (8/8/22): US Title Match, Kevin Owens Returns, Women’s Tournament, Dexter Lumis?

This week’s episode of Monday Night Raw was plagued with some strange backstage occurrences, which ultimately led to a big return on the show.

The episode from Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, OH, featured the return of Kevin Owens. The former Universal champion viciously attacked Ezekiel before their scheduled match, sending him out on a stretcher.

Owens was later interviewed backstage, where he discussed his attack, but all fans can talk about was the background of this segment.

Nikki A.S.H and Doudrop were seen in the background standing by a crashed car, and the purposeful framing instantly caught fans’ attention.

This wasn’t the last of the crashed car we saw during the night. There were times when we saw it being loaded on the tow truck and several people running from the car, but it all happened in the background of various segments.

There was also a segment where police ran by two people talking. They finally managed to capture the perpetrator just after the main event, and it turned out to be none other than Dexter Lumis.

Lumis tried to crash the show after AJ Styles defeated The Miz in a No DQ main event, but he was taken away by the police.

The Dexter Lumis character is a Triple H creation. The former NXT star was released in April this year, so it’s no surprise that he is back after The Game took over the creative control. While he didn’t get a lot of TV time on Raw this week, we can safely assume that we haven’t seen the last of Lumis.

• WWE RAW Results (8/8/22): US Title Match, Kevin Owens Returns, Women’s Tournament, Dexter Lumis?

Bobby Lashley comes from a generation where internet wasn’t an integral part of life like today. The former WWE champion naturally has trouble adjusting to the social media lifestyle. However, like many other celebrities, the All Mighty is also getting help from his children to adapt to these changes.

The heavyweight star recently appeared on Ryan Satin’s Out of Character podcast. Among other things, he also discussed how he has trouble finding things to post on social media. He was asked if he has an account on tick tok. Bobby Lashley mentioned that he has an Instagram account, but he doesn’t know what to post on it:

“I have a profile on tick tok, I just haven’t posted anything on there. It’s too much. I do Instagram but it’s like ‘What do I post on Instagram?’ I was like ‘I gotta do something up.’ My godson is my assistant now. He’s 23, so I am like ‘come on, help me out here.'”

‘For My Character’: Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley later told a very cute story of how he got roped into making tick-toks by his daughter. He revealed that he avoided doing them before using his WWE character as an excuse:

“My daughter, she’s a little cutie. She goes ‘Daddy, since you’re a good guy now, you can do tick tok videos with me right?’ I was like, ‘Is that how it is?’ That was my excuse before I was like ‘nah, for my character you know I can’t be doing these little dances.’ But now it’s different. She’s like ‘ Ok, now you have to do it.'”

Tony Khan and AEW have been on a hiring spree in the last year or so. They have brought in people like CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, and Claudio Castagnoli.

However, these big signings have also led to some other names being overlooked, who fans believed would be presented properly after joining the company.

AEW star Miro suggested that he wasn’t happy with his position within the promotion just yesterday. Now Andrade has joined this list.

The former NXT champion recently liked a tweet from a fan calling out Tony Khan for signing ex-WWE stars just to have them doing nothing in the promotion:

Just like Miro, Andrade also joined All Elite Wrestling not long after leaving WWE in June last year. The former US champion was frustrated with the lack of exposure in the Vince McMahon-owned promotion.

However, the former La Sombra hasn’t found himself in a much better position after jumping ships. He hasn’t been put in any significant feuds and has had no title runs in his first year in AEW.

He has also been caught in the rivalry between AAA and CMLL, which led to a big Forbidden Door match between him and Will Ospreay getting nixed.

• Andrade El Idolo Reveals Length Of AEW Contract

With Triple H taking over the control of WWE creative, the prospect of someone like Andrade being pushed in the rival promotion has increased significantly.

Though there is no word on if Andrade’s unhappiness in AEW has anything to do with the recent changes in WWE.

AEW fans have been waiting excitedly for the Fight Forever video game and new details about it are coming out every week.

It was revealed recently that the video game will feature a story mode and many different types of matches such as unsanctioned match and more.

Fightful Select provided some more details on the game, which which is due out some time before the end of the year. They revealed the story mode they have heard about is ‘much different’ than any other wrestling games fans have played.

While the report couldn’t elaborate on what’s unique about the AEW Fight Forever story mode, they did reiterate that it is ‘much different than any before it.’

The game’s cover was revealed recently featuring stars such as CM Punk and Jon Moxley. This cover was designed by THQ Nordic’s team and not the AEW graphic team.

As a result, people within the wrestling promotion didn’t know what the cover would look like beforehand. Even the featured stars weren’t aware that they were on the cover.

AEW showed three mini games from the upcoming title during a recent Twitch stream. The site revealed that there is also a fourth mini game, related to Orange Cassidy.

However, there are several names who joined AEW around the start of this year that won’t be included in the game.

Former TNT champion Sammy Guevara and Tay Conti have finally tied the knot and officially became husband and wife.

The AEW stars made their relationship public in January this year. Guevara then proposed to his girlfriend at the Eiffel Tower in Paris back in June.

Sammy and Tay had chosen August 8 as the date for their marriage. Unlike some other public figures, they had been pretty open about their decision and sharing updates about their wedding all week long.

The AEW couple finally got married on Sunday. Many wrestling personalities were invited to the wedding, and current WWE star Nikki A.S.H. was one of the bridesmaids.

Photos from their wedding ceremony started surfacing online not long after as guests started sharing pictures of the newlywed couple.

Amanda Huber went to the wedding with both her sons. She shared a photo of the couple afterward and posted a message for them:

“We are not perfect. We’ll learn from our mistakes. And as long as it takes, I will prove my love to you. What a great night. My friends are amazing. We love you Mr & Mrs @sammyguevara @TayConti_”

Other people who shared photos from the ceremony included NXT star Valentina Feroz, toymaker Jeremy Padawer and more. You can check out photos from Sammy and Tay’s wedding ceremony below:

The new WWE regime under Triple H and Stephanie McMahon has already started making big changes to the programming.

In the past few weeks, things such as the return of Karrion Kross and Scarlett has excited fans. Reports suggest that more comebacks are expected in the coming future, but this might not be all.

Mike Johnson of PWinsider was recently asked if there has been any talk of re-casting an existing talent among all the big returns.

Replying to it, the wrestling journalist revealed that former Retribution member T-Bar is a name that has been ‘bouncing around’ in recent weeks.

The report claimed that the former NXT star’s name has been mentioned ‘most prominently’ for a character change recently. Though it’s unknown if he will return to his NXT character to get a new gimmick entirely.

The former Dominik Dijakovic had a successful career in NXT. His matches with Keith Lee were praised by fans and Triple H saw him as a star.

However, Vince McMahon decided to repackage him upon his main roster call-up. He was put under a mask and renamed to T-Bar as part of the Retribution faction in September 2020.

• Dominik Dijakovic Reflects On WWE Rejection, Keith Lee Feud

One of the things that have changed in WWE in the modern era is the schedules. While the company still produces as many live event, they now allow certain veteran talents to have a lighter schedule. One star who has benefitted from this change is Rey Mysterio.

The Master of 619 recently spoke to TJ sport USA. He was asked about his current WWE schedule. Rey revealed that it’s much less hectic. Per Mysterio, he works all TV tapings but gets every other week off from House Shows:

“It is much less hectic than it was before. Obviously due to age and being that I am hurt from previous years. It’s do all TVs, one weekend on, one weekend off.” said Rey Mysterio, “If they need me for anything special, I’m right there.

I’m a trooper. I love this still and I love enjoying the time with my son. Being at live events, teaching him the ropes and what to do, what not to do and credit him for the good. [In the old days] it was non stop every week. I don’t have that schedule anymore. I’m limited to a certain amount of dates per year.”

Apart from this, Rey Mysterio also discussed Vince McMahon’s retirement from wrestling. You can check out his full interview below:

Former WWE star Bray Wyatt has once again surfaced online, this time with a poetic take on the bizarre world of pro wrestling. The former Universal champion posted a message about wrestling on Instagram. He claimed that it is not a love story but a Fairy Tale for masochists.

Wyatt went on to make various wrestling references from The Undertaker to Ric Flair and more. He called wrestling a hope:

“It can also be a land where Dead men walk. Where Honor makes you Elite. Where Demons run for office. And Rock bottom is a reason to rejoice. WOOOOO! It’s an escape. A reason to point the blame at anyone but yourself for 2-3 hours. An excuse to be a kid again, and nothing matters except the moment we are in. Wrestling is not a love story, it’s much more. It’s hope.”

Can Bray Wyatt Return?

Bray Wyatt has kept his distance from the wrestling world since his WWE release in July last year. However, he has been teasing a return in recent times. Moves such as a trademark filing for a potential ring name has led many to believe that we will see The Fiend back inside the squared circle very soon.

The rumors of his return have been fuelled further by reports that Triple H is looking to ‘bolster’ the main roster, and he has had talks with released stars for a potential return.

Paige’s WWE contract expired last month, and she is now a free agent. The former Divas champion has been using her real-life name Saraya for appearances since.

The former WWE star recently appeared on The Bellas podcast. Among other things, she also revealed the insane origin of her real-life name.

The former champion discussed her mother, who is a wrestler as well and uses Saraya Knight as her ring name. Paige revealed that Knight came up with her name while tripping on acid at a slayer concert:

“So my mum, you know how crazy my mum is. It was like the ’80s or whatever, and she was tripping on acid at a Slayer concert.

And she misheard it as ‘Saraya,’ and that’s how I got my name,” revealed Paige, “and it was just from an acid trip and her not being with it.”
