#5 Details of Triple H's backstage confrontation with Vince McMahon in WWE

Former WWE Writer Matt McCarthy told PWTorch's Wade Keller about the time when Triple H confronted Vince McMahon over Shesmus' booking during a production meeting.

He revealed that The Game wasn't happy about too much weight being put on Sheamus' Irish heritage and wanted him to be pushed as a big Superstar instead of an 'Irish Superstar.'

“Triple H just goes, ‘I thought that we agreed, you know, instead of him just being an Irish star, he was just gonna be a star,'" said McCarthy. "'I don’t remember Dwayne [The Rock] ever coming out and talking about being Samoan and black. He wasn’t a half black, half Samoan star… he was just a star. Didn’t we talk about doing that with Sheamus? Instead of him being an Irish star, he’s gonna be a star?’'

He further revealed that McMahon agreed with Triple H and admitted that they had talked about the matter previously. In concluding the meeting, McMahon acknowledged how good the meeting was and asked everyone to put forth a great show.

#3 Booker T believes Bron Breakker is ready for the WWE main roster

Rick Steiner's son Bron Breakker has already made an impact in WWE since joining NXT 2.0. The superstar is believed to be a future NXT Champion and has been receiving praise from top names all over the industry.

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T is also mighty impressed with the young star. Speaking on his podcast, Booker said that WWE should strap the rocket on Breakker and give him a big push already.

''He's a main roster guy already. Bron Breakker, young Steiner, he's a main roster guy right now. He's not a guy we have to look at and wonder if he's going to be a star or not. I'm just saying that because I've been impressed just from the outset,'' said Booker

The former WCW world champion also said that Breakker doesn't need to be repackaged as he already knows the business and is a class apart inside the ring.

#2 Original plan for Becky Lynch's WWE return

The Man Becky Lynch returned to WWE at SummerSlam this year to capture the SmackDown Women's Championship. However, the original plan was something different.

Lynch was initially set to return at WrestleMania this year. When that plan got nixed it was decided that she would be brought back in October. But due to Sasha Banks not being medically cleared for SummerSlam, WWE had to pull the trigger and bring Lynch back ahead of the scheduled time.

Alex McCarthy stated that Becky Lynch had told him that WWE's original plans for her return were for her to feud with Bayley:

''Becky Lynch just told me she was originally good to go for WrestleMania and it was discussed she’d face Bayley. That didn’t happen (obviously) and then she was meant to return in October before WWE called her the week of SummerSlam.'' said McCarthy
