Without further ado, let's take a look at five top news stories from this past week that you might have missed. Be sure to comment down and let us know your thoughts on the same.
#5 WWE Superstar Doudrop wants to face Randy Orton
During a recent interview, Doudrop stated that she would like to face 14-time world champion Randy Orton. She used to compete on the independent circuit under the ring name 'Viper', which is also the nickname of Orton in Vince McMahon's promotion.
"It’s gotta be Randy [for a potential intergender match]. Me and him have some historic beef over who the real Viper is. I think he’s great, and I’m really enjoying him and Riddle’s tag team together, getting to see a different side of him," said Doudrop.
Doudrop also mentioned that it's been a dream of hers to win the men's Royal Rumble match.
"I know they [WWE] have a pretty hard stance on things, but it’s always been a dream of mine to be the first woman to win the male Rumble. Whether that even comes into fruition or not, we’ll see – but that’s always been a dream of mine… You’ve just gotta hope," Doudrop stated.
She is currently part of Monday Night RAW and is in the middle of a decent singles push. Doudrop recently turned heel on the Red brand and it is to be seen what the company has planned for her next.
#4 Beth Phoenix pitched a storyline to become Brock Lesnar's sister in WWE
WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix recently took to Twitter to make a massive revelation. She stated that she once made a pitch to become the on-screen sister of Brock Lesnar.
"Fun Fact: At one of my first gigs as a @WWE extra I pitched a detailed storyline to Michael Hayes to be brought in as Brock Lesnar's sister. I had ZERO CHILL," tweeted Beth Phoenix.
A family angle involving The Beast Incarnate could've been really interesting. He is currently in the middle of a feud with Universal Champion Roman Reigns and could be returning to WWE television soon.
#3 Trish Stratus talks about dream match with Sasha Banks
Sasha Banks has openly stated her desire to face Trish Stratus on multiple occasions. During a recent appearance on Toronto's VIBE 105 Sports, the Hall of Famer spoke about this dream match that many fans want to see.
"If you're talking about the dream match that everyone talks about with Sasha Banks? "Maybe you might be referring to that match...or you might not be? Maybe that's what I’m referring to. She's an amazing athlete. People sort of fantasize about that match because we had a little face-to-face at the Women's Royal Rumble. That is appealing to me," Trish Stratus said.
Trish Stratus last wrestled in a WWE ring at SummerSlam 2019 where she faced Charlotte Flair. It was The Queen who picked up the victory in that bout.
#2 King Woods suggests major implications for WWE Survivor Series 2021 match
King Woods has been announced to be part of Team SmackDown for the upcoming WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view. He shared a video on Twitter, suggesting massive implications for the traditional five-on-five elimination match.
"Survivor Series, 5-on-5 RAW vs. SmackDown, what a joyous occasion, but what are we fighting for? I proclaim, your King proclaims that the losing team, RAW obviously, should have a five-way elimination match fighting for spots one through five in next year's Royal Rumble. And SmackDown, my team, the winning team, would do the same but we'd be fighting for spots 26 through 30. If you guys are down, hit me up, let me know. If not, it's cool, we can still do bragging rights as usual," said King Woods.
Woods is currently in the middle of a major singles push in the company. This past week on SmackDown, he faced Universal Champion Roman Reigns and won the match via disqualification. This was Reigns' first loss in singles competition on WWE television this year.
#1 Corey Graves teases in-ring return to WWE
Corey Graves recently took to Twitter to tease an in-ring return. Graves is currently part of the commentary team of Monday Night RAW. He once was an impressive star on NXT but was forced to retire from in-ring competition in 2014 due to his concussion issues.
On the latest edition of RAW, Graves won the 24/7 Championship by pinning Akira Tozawa at ringside. However, he immediately lost the title to fellow commentator Byron Saxton.
