#5 Reason why Sable filed a lawsuit against WWE

Jim Ross recently spoke about former WWE Superstar Sable and her time in the company. Ross revealed that Sable had a lot of backstage heat and wasn't very popular with the men and women backstage.

Sable is the current wife of WWE Superstar Brock Lesnar and was considered to be an icon during the attitude era in WWE. Ross talked about the $110 million lawsuit that Sable had filed against WWE after she quit in 1999.

"Well I didn't see the lawsuit coming. I thought it was a nuisance lawsuit. I thought it was put in place so she could get her release. It was the negotiating chip she needed to walk [away from the company]." (H/T: WrestlingInc)

Jim Ross also talked about why Sable went astray during her time in WWE. He believes that Sable was listening to the wrong people.

"She listened to the wrong people. You can look at it in a zillion ways. It comes back down to me as being egocentric. Every pro wrestler has a varying amount of insecurities and anxieties, every one of them. Some to a degree that it is counter productive, and some to a degree that motivates them to be great and stay great. But she got a little too big for her britches.''

#4 Triple H and Shawn Michaels accused of bullying The Rock in WWE

WWE icons Triple H and The Rock may be good friends now, but that wasn't always the case. While The Rock and Triple H have grown to become fond of each other, the same can not be said for The Rock's personal relationship with Shawn Michaels.

Bret Hart recently talked about how Shawn Michaels and Triple H were out to get The Rock backstage and always bullied him. He revealed that once Michaels told The Rock never to do a dropkick off the top rope as 'it was his move'.

"Triple H was the same. He was always out to get The Rock. Shawn was out to get him and they just worked on him, and worked on him, and worked on him. And I left. [The Rock] was still in the doghouse with those guys. They wanted him [out] as bad as they wanted me out. Like, they were after him. And, for me, maybe a year later, he started getting his break and he started to take off in WWE." Hart added, "and I'm so glad he overcame their petty bulls--t."(h/t Wrestling Inc.)

#3 Former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho reveals who he wants to have his last match with

Former WWE Champion and current AEW Superstar Chris Jericho recently spoke about his possible retirement and how he plans on going about it. Jericho said that he doesn't believe in retirement matches but would want his last match to be against his long-time friend and the man he started his wrestling career with - Lance Storm. Storm worked as a backstage agent in WWE before he was furloughed earlier this year.

Chris Jericho has chalked out a proper plan for how he wants his last match to go down. While he does say that even though he is 49, he has no plans of retiring anytime soon.

"Put together an all-star line up with whomever is available in the indies at that point of time. Probably lose a couple of hundred grand. I would love to finish my career the exact same way that I began it versus Lance Storm. And the match could suck. Lance is always great. At that point of time, I might be completely off my rocker, but Who Knows? I'm 49 and still going."

#2 AEW was interested in signing WWE Superstar Goldberg

There had been a rumor that AEW was interested in bringing in WWE legend Goldberg to their promotion. However, nothing ever materialized and the chapter was closed. Former WWE icon Jim Cornette revived this rumor on his podcast yet again by claiming that Tony Khan wanted Goldberg in AEW and even had major plans for him.

Here is what Jim Cornette said:

Goldberg was huge on Tony Khan's want list. He wanted Goldberg to come out and do the streak over again. I mentioned how much you think he's gonna charge for a 30-second job match? Probably the same as a main event PPV match.

Goldberg was last seen in action at WrestleMania 36 where he lost the WWE Universal Championship to Braun Strowman. Goldberg has stated in interviews that he is willing to come back to wrestle. So it is possible that if AEW put the right price, former multi-time WWE World Champion Goldberg might be seen in AEW sometime in the future.

#1 Reason why WWE Superstar Shayna Baszler was brought to RAW Underground

RAW Underground has been making all kinds of waves in WWE ever since it debuted on the red brand a few weeks back. The segment sees stars engage in MMA style shoot fights inside a ring with no ropes.

This week on RAW, we saw former MMA fighter Shayna Baszler make her debut in RAW Underground. Tom Colohue has reported that it was Shane McMahon's decision to bring Baszler in RAW Underground as he is a big fan.

"Yes, there were a lot of changes to the RAW Women's title picture and the idea of Shayna Baszler being there is in and out. She has been very in and out of plans. But what I will say is that Shane McMahon is actually a very big fan of Baszler. So he saw a chance to use her, and I thought in that particular environment, he used her very well."

It will be interesting to see how WWE books The Queen of Spades going forward and if she will be given another title shot in the near f.
