In today’s edition, we will talk about the possibility of another former WWE Superstar joining AEW soon. The Undertaker reveals an interesting secret, and much more! So without further ado, let us take a look at the biggest stories of today:

#5 Drake Maverick reportedly done with WWE

WWE had recently released multiple Superstars owing to the budget cuts induced by the coronavirus pandemic. One of the names on the list of the released Superstars was former 24/7 Champion Drake Maverick.

However, despite being released, Maverick was still part of an ongoing tournament to crown the interim Cruiserweight Champion. In a heartfelt video posted by him on Twitter, he stated that winning the tournament was his last shot at remaining with WWE and keeping his job.

With Maverick’s performance in the tournament and vignettes of him being uploaded, there was speculation that the former TNA Superstar might remain with WWE. However, Cageside Seats have reported that despite his recent push, such is not the case:

Drake Maverick, formerly known as Rockstar Spudd, made his name in WWE as the former GM of 205 Live and one of the best comedy acts in the company. His program with R-Truth for the 24/7 Championship was one of the funniest programs in recent times and it is unfortunate that WWE did not see the potential in Maverick.

#4 Sting reportedly heading to AEW

WWE Hall of Famer Sting is reportedly done with WWE as per recent reports. There had been a lot of speculation about what the future may hold for the former multi-time World Champion once he leaves WWE.

Reports indicated that The Icon will be heading to AEW soon. As per the Observer (via Cageside Seats), these rumors may, in fact, be true and there is a strong chance that Sting is AEW bound.

The rumors started with AEW vice-president Cody posting a cryptic Tweet which indicated that he is interested in bringing The Stinger onboard once he was done with WWE.

Sting has not been allowed to enter active in-ring competition due to injury issues and has not had many matches in his short WWE career, so it will be interesting to see if he joins AEW as an in-ring competitor or in a role like Jake Roberts and Arn Anderson currently have with the company.

#3 Bobby Lashley praises Drew McIntyre

Bobby Lashley is all set to take on WWE Champion Drew McIntyre at the upcoming Backlash PPV. While The All Mighty may have his eyes set on the prize, he recently spoke to TalkSport and gave his honest opinion on Drew McIntyre.

Lashley spoke about the possibility of a match with Brock Lesnar and how Drew McIntyre is the new Brock Lesnar:

Bobby Lashley has recently joined hands with MVP on-screen who has replaced Lana as Lashley’s manager. This new duo is certainly interesting and hopefully, MVP will be able to revitalize Lashley’s career - something his previous managers could not.

#2 The Undertaker reveals reason for his long entrances

The Undertaker is one of the biggest Superstars to ever be a part of WWE. The Phenom is known not just for his brilliant matches and longevity but the enigma that he has made his character.

The Undertaker’s character has evolved over the years, but the one thing that has remained constant for him in WWE is the chilling entrance of The Deadman ahead of his matches. The slow walk, lightning effects and dark arena all make for a compelling entrance that has enthralled the fans for so many years.

While speaking on the “Pardon My Take” podcast, The Undertaker revealed an interesting secret regarding his ‘slow’ entry walks prior to his matches:

#1 Rhea Ripley gives honest opinion on possible IIconics break-up

There might be trouble in paradise for the former Women’s Tag Team Champions Billie Kay and Peyton Royce as the duo may be heading for a split following events on RAW this week. The IIconics lost their match against the current Women’s Tag Team Champions Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross due to Royce getting them disqualified.

In a backstage segment, Peyton Royce admitted her mistake but her partner Billie Kay slapped her in the face instead. While speaking to Metro.co.uk, former NXT Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley talked about what she feels the future should hold for the IIconics:

Rhea Ripley is probably not alone in wanting Royce and Kay to mend their friendship and continue performing as a tag team.
