We run through the hottest news items of the week

Last week's edition of SKFabe was truly explosive considering everything changed in an instant due to the viral infection that had taken a hold of the WWE roster. This week wasn't nearly as exciting outside the ring, but we still bring you some highlights from behind the scenes, that may augment your WWE watching experience.

Here are the seven most exciting news items that transpired through the course of the week that passed. We hope that you have as much fun reading it, as we had while putting this list together.


#1 Paige and Charlotte Flair want to face off again!

It seems more and more evident that Paige is on her way back to WWE once again. The young and super talented superstar has been through her fair share of controversy in the recent past, but she remains a favourite of the WWE Universe, who cannot wait to see her return.

This past week, WWE uploaded the video that we have linked above from the WWE Network, that showcased Paige taking on Charlotte Flair. The latter responded immediately to WWE's tweet:

What took the whole WWE Universe by storm was the fact that Paige seemed equally enthusiastic to make this match happen. This makes us wonder if she is due for a return, very soon indeed.

Paige can really bolster the SmackDown Live Women's Division, considering that we've seen every possible permutation and the combination of women on the roster, thus far.

The rumours indicate that Paige may be on her way to the blue brand, and if that is the case, a clash with Charlotte Flair could definitely take place. Imagine the pop when her distinctive music hits, once again!

#2 R-Truth underwent surgery

What's up with R-Truth, you ask?
What's up with R-Truth, you ask?

As of now, R-Truth is one of the oldest men on the RAW roster. At the age of 45, he is not booked in as many central storylines as he used to once be. His last feud with Goldust was interrupted midway, with no real payoff.

It looks like R-Truth will spend some time off the television right now, based on the fact that he recently posted on Instagram that he just underwent surgery. It is not clear at this point what the nature of the surgery really was.

In any case, we would like to wish R-Truth all the best for his surgery. Let's hope that he returns with the vigour for yet another run.

#3 Kevin Owens' wife elaborated on their personal situation

We're glad to report that everything is okay

Sometimes, one tends to forget that when the smoke clears and the superstars of WWE go back home, they are just as human as any of us. Kevin Owens was recently pulled from a South American Tour because of personal problems that he had to address back home.

It seems like all is okay with the 'Old Face of America', once again. His wife, Karina Elias Steen posted the following message on Instagram, about their situation, thanking fans for their support. This is what she had to say.

We are glad to note that everything is fine for wrestling's most beloved couple. A distraction back home, when you're on the road, can be a curse when you're trying to compete at the highest level, in WWE.

Owens competes with Nakamura next week, to determine who goes on to the SmackDown Live Survivor Series team.

#4 Update on John Cena-Nikki Bella's wedding date

What is this wrestling power couple tying the knot?

This year, at WrestleMania, we saw John Cena and Nikki Bella team up to take on The Miz and Maryse. Following their win, Cena got on his knees and proposed to his girlfriend. Nikki Bella accepted. The world celebrated.

Fast forward to many months later, and there is still no clarity with regard to when the two of them will tie the knot. Nikki Bella was a guest on FOX News, and said the following:

“We changed the date and location (owing to) just schedules and stuff."

Cena is, as of right now, busy with his extensive Hollywood schedule. As for Bella, she has been a part of the latest edition of 'Dancing with the Stars'. Both have hectic schedules, and we understand their current dilemma.

Who knows if the two of them will decide to get married privately, away from the glitz and glamour.

#5 The Undertaker broke character for Ric Flair

It is a rare sight to see The Undertaker break character for anyone at all. He did so for Ric Flair when the man first retired. He did so again to honour the icon during the screening of the '30 for 30' documentary, if only for one night. What an image this is:

The Undertaker is one of Ric Flair's biggest fans. Flair has also gone on record to say how much respect he has for the "Dead Man", as a colleague and as a fellow wrestler. We doubt he would have broken character, for just about anyone else.

We cannot wait for the film to come out. We've only heard good things about it, thus far.

#6 Big Cass is slowly recovering again

This is definitely not a SAWFT man

We saw Big Cass, on the verge of a massive push, suffer an injury during his match with Enzo Amore. He provided an update on his condition, during Booker T's podcast- Heated Conversations.

This is what the 7 footer had to say:

I’m doing good. Just in the process of recovering right now from an ACL injury. Kind of just have a lot of time to myself but I’m doing really good and I’m on schedule to come back when the doctor’s think I’ll be back. So, I’m just rehabbing every day and trying to get back as soon as possible.

Big Cass is a superstar with phenomenal potential, who fits the look that WWE traditionally likes. He has a great future when he does make it back to the company again.

#7 Enzo Amore made a tall claim

The realest champ in the room said he had his own locker room

Enzo Amore certainly is one of the more colourful characters of any era in WWE. He caught up with TMZ recently and addressed the fact that he wasn't allowed into the WWE locker room anymore.

This is what the Certified G had to say:

"Bro, I got my own locker room... literally. That is a fact, come check me out dog, I don't talk to nobody. You know why? Because if you ain't talking money, what the hell you talking about?!"

Enzo had a lot of other stuff to talk about as well, and we could only understand a small portion. You can try your luck by checking out this video, linked below.
