#5 Renee Young quits WWE, sends in her notice

Popular presenter and former RAW announcer Renee Young has decided to leave WWE after spending years as part of the company. Young, who his married to the current AEW World Champion Jon Moxley, has decided to quit WWE after her role in the company was greatly reduced this year.

Young was the face of shows such as Talking Smack and WWE Backstage, both of which got canceled. Here is what PWInsider has reported on the issue:

WWE broadcast personality Renee Young is leaving World Wrestling Entertainment, PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources. We are told Young gave the company notice a week ago that she intends to exit. There is no word when her final date with the company is yet.

There are rumblings that Renee Young may be AEW bound but no confirmation for these rumors is available as of now.

Triple H talked about Renee Young during a media-call and stated that he really enjoyed working with her.

"Yeah, I won't comment on the status of Renee and I'll let Renee deal with that on her terms. But as far as her as a person and as a part of WWE, it's been awesome. And she has been a large part of this, I personally enjoyed working with her tremendously and it's been awesome to see her do and attack different things within the company and try different roles. And I thought she's done an amazing job of all of them. I'll let her handle the rest of it but as far as her contribution, they've been awesome."

#4 Former WWE Superstar Rusev reveals how Vince McMahon broke his confidence

Rusev talked about his experience in WWE on Ryback's podcast recently. The former US Champion, who now goes by the name Miro, talked about how Vince McMahon would always find excuses to put his achievements down.

Rusev revealed that when he told McMahon that the Rusev Day merchandise was selling faster than even Roman Reigns' merchandise, the WWE Chairman said that it was because 'not enough shirts were made'.

In another incident, Vince McMahon told Rusev that he wasn't getting over with the crowd because of the Rusev Day chants but, in fact, the WWE fans were merely mocking him.

Everything I'm doing, it seems the people are liking it. Why am I getting over and you're telling me to do the opposite? I didn't understand, I had a conversation with Vince and he told me that with Rusev Day, they were just mocking me, they didn't mean it. H/T: Fightful

''Rusev Day was going on. There was no way the office didn't notice because it was before, after, during the show. It was everywhere. I always felt defeated because what was I doing it for? It was all competition and finally, I got to a point of, 'wow, we're doing something right.' There's no way it wasn't noticed. The first meeting it was, 'they're ***king with you, they don't mean what they're saying.' I respect and I listen because I always want to listen from Vince. He had everybody on his side. In my mind, I knew it wasn't true.''

#3 Shane McMahon primed to become the next head of RAW in WWE

Sportskeeda's Alex McCarthy has revealed that his source has told him that Vince McMahon wants to make his son Shane McMahon the next creative head of WWE Monday Night RAW. The position was earlier held by Paul Heyman, who was sacked and replaced with Bruce Prichard.

However, it is being said that Prichard is finding his current schedule as the head of both RAW and SmackDown too hectic and wants to focus solely on the blue brand. It is likely that Shane O' Mac will step into the role soon and finally get involved with the creative process again.

Here is what Alex McCarthy said:

Now, one source in WWE has told me Shane is being considered to take RAW off Bruce Prichard's hands leaving him to concentrate on SmackDown.

Other sources that I've posed this information couldn't give concrete confirmation, though judging by work behind the scenes, they can believe it. Another layer to the story is Prichard making no secret about the fact he'd like to lighten his workload and he's been struggling with the long hours.

#2 WWE return update on Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns

Two of WWE's biggest stars - Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar - have been out of action for a long period now. However, there are reports suggesting that with WWE moving to the Amway Center, there is a high chance that both these men will return soon.

Here is what WrestlingNews.co have reported:

“There is now speculation amongst some people in the company that now that they are running shows at the Amway Center that this will open the door for names like Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns to return. Even with the COVID-19 testing and safety measures, the feeling among some was that there was a higher chance for outbreaks inside of the smaller Performance Center building. Those concerns should be alleviated now that they are going to be running shows at the much larger Amway Center at least until late October.”

With WWE introducing the ThunderDome from this week, it would be a wise decision to bring back Brock Lesnar as Vince McMahon expects rating to pick up soon.

#1 Rey Mysterio's son Dominik gets a new ring name in WWE

Dominik Mysterio will be facing Seth Rollins in his first-ever WWE match at SummerSlam 2020. It has been reported that while Vince McMahon was not keen on giving Dominik a singles push so soon, but he had to do it in order to get Rey Mysterio to re-sign with WWE.

ESPN revealed that while Dominik will be wrestling under his real name at SummerSlam, he will get a revamp after he undergoes more training. Former WWE Champion Rey Mysterio and his son have thought of changing his ring name to 'Prince Mysterio'.

"While Dominik will wrestle under his real name at SummerSlam, Rey and Dominik have discussed Dominik performing under the name "Prince Mysterio" in the future after he receives more training. Dominik already has the Prince Mysterio gear and mask designed, but wanted to hold off on debuting it at SummerSlam. The name is fitting since Rey, Spanish for King, would love nothing more than to pass down the Mysterio legacy to his son."
