WWE News Roundup: Backstage reason why Brock Lesnar felt ‘screwed’, Roman Reigns’ banned attire, and more (March 13th, 2021)

#3 Murphy accuses Aalyah Mysterio of using him in WWE

Trouble in paradise?

Last week on WWE SmackDown, we saw Murphy approach Seth Rollins and ask for a chance to rekindle their Messiah-Disciple relationship. He further commented on the subject and said that the Mysterio family used him. According to Murphy, Aalyah Mysterio used him to enhance her acting career, and Dominik Mysterio used him to be present at ringside. He also said that Rey Mysterio was jealous of Murphy becoming the WWE Cruiserweight division's new face.

"Let's point out the obvious! The Mysterio's used me! I never needed them! I'm beyond one of the most talent(ed) in-ring performers on the planet! Aalyah used me to be on tv and advance an acting career. Dominik used me, so he had a reason to stand ringside. Rey was jealous that I became the new face of the cruiserweight(s), and he was left out of the discussion. They took what they wanted; then they left me in the shadows! Sounds like my time in NXT."

It was surprising to see that Murphy was trying to join forces with Rollins once again on WWE SmackDown. His recent comments have confirmed that the relationship between him and the Mysterio family is not that great at the moment.

#4 WWE Chairman Vince McMahon’s reaction when Christian Cage got clearance for an in-ring return

Christian reveals how Vince McMahon reacted to his in-ring return

Christian Cage returned to the ring in WWE earlier this year. During his recent appearance on Renee Paquette’s Oral Sessions podcast, he revealed how Vince McMahon reacted to him getting clearance to wrestle again. Christian stated that McMahon was pleased about the news, and the two had a good conversation.

“I kind of floated it out there before that to Vince that I had been cleared. You know, he was very happy about it. We had a couple of good conversations about it. I said, ‘There’s still some work to do, but we’ll see where we get to at this point and kind of move forward from there.’"

Despite competing in the WWE Royal Rumble match earlier this year, Christian Cage decided to join AEW. He chose to hear the rival company’s offer after speaking with Jon Moxley. He liked AEW’s plans for him and signed with the promotion.
