#5: Update on Sasha Banks' future with WWE

Banks hasn't been seen on WWE TV since losing the Women's Tag titles at WrestleMania 35.

Sasha Banks hasn't been seen on WWE TV since WrestleMania, but the Boss is still one of the most talked about Superstars by fans.

Shortly after WrestleMania, rumors emerged of Banks causing an incident backstage, reportedly threatening to quit the company unless changes were made about her booking.

Though plenty of people have denied the claims, it does seem off that Banks hasn't been on WWE in nearly two months, whilst her tag partner Bayley is the new SmackDown Women's Champion.

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Banks will "probably end up back in WWE".

This certainly is good news for Banks' fans, who have been hoping to see her compete again for months.

With that said though, Banks' frustration with the company, and the public fallout of the aleged WrestleMania incident may be a deciding factor on whether to push the former champion for years to come.

4: The Deadman to rise again this week

Goldberg and The Undertaker crossed paths in 2017, and will face again at Super ShowDown.

The Undertaker may be a true legend of WWE, but it's no secret that the former WWE World Champion enjoys some pretty extensive breaks between appearances.

The Demon of Death Valley enjoyed a six-month break between performing at WWE Crown Jewel last November and his return to WWE TV on the RAW after WrestleMania 35, and in the past has even gone a year without a match.

Already booked for two appearances this week, the Deadman may be making a third, on route to his epic collision with Goldberg at Super Showdown.

Booked for tonight's RAW, the Facebook page for tomorrow night's SmackDown Live is also advertising an appearance by the Phenom, despite Undertaker not being mentioned for the show by WWE.

Goldberg however, has been announced for SmackDown Live tomorrow night.

3: 24/7 means 24/7

Elias briefly captured the 24/7 Championship from R-Truth, but lost it back just hours later.

Recently, the WWE revealed their new 24/7 Championship, and though fans have been vocal in not liking the look of the new gold, the title has already provided some entertaining moments.

Much like the Hardcore Championship of 1998-2002, the 24/7 title must be defended at all times, with Titus O'Neil, Robert Roode, R-Truth and Elias all holding the gold since it's inception.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has noted that there have been discussions in WWE backstage about having the title being defend on various social media outlets like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, as well as at the WWE Performance Center between shows.

Whatever happens, it looks like the two-time and current champion R-Truth is going to have to be a lot more careful if he wants to keep a hold of his title.

2: EC3 the Scapegoat

If you were booked like EC3 has been in 2019, you'd be drinking too.

After debuting at AEW Double or Nothing, Jon Moxley has been giving tell-all interviews to anyone who will listen, lambasting his former employer, the WWE.

In one of these interviews, the Lunatic Fringe stated that the company had acted extremely petty to NXT callup EC3, after a match between the former TNA World Champion and Ambrose was received with a negative response by fans.

According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the poor booking of EC3 is just to this match, as Mozley has said in multiple interviews.

It seems that WWE didn't expect the match to be hit with such a reaction, and with Moxley's departure from the company imminent, it left EC3 to be the scapegoat.

If this continues, EC3 may end up joining Moxley in an AEW ring very soon.

1: Tons of people

Jon Moxley is just one of a number of WWE Superstars to join AEW.

All Elite Wrestling has been around for less than six months, but the new promotion has done a lot in that time.

The brainchild of Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks, the new company recently held their first pay per view, Double or Nothing, which not only was a whopping success but also saw the debut of Jon Moxley, FKA Dean Ambrose.

The success of Double or Nothing didn't just excite fans, but has stirred things up backstage in WWE, if the Wrestling Observer Newsletter is to be believed.

According to Dave Meltzer, there are "a ton of people" in WWE currently who have inquired about going to AEW.

As if that wasn't bad enough, the same report states many are from NXT, who are meant to be the next generation of WWE Superstars.
