#2. Seth Rollins update
Seth Rollins was on the receiving end of Bronson Reed's wrath on RAW as the powerhouse laid him out with six Tsunamis. The Visionary ended up coughing blood and was rushed for a medical checkup.
Michael Cole and Pat McAfee noted on the commentary desk that Rollins will need an X-ray, an endoscopic scan, and a CAT scan. He is unlikely to be available for the next couple of weeks.
#3. Becky Lynch to AEW?
Becky Lynch's future has been up in the air over the last few months. The Man recently sparked retirement rumors with an emotional post. However, according to Tommy Carlucci, the former Women's World Champion's post could be about her heading over to AEW now since she's no longer under a contract with the Stamford-based promotion.
"Maybe she's done with WWE and maybe making her way to AEW," he said.
Becky has not donned her wrestling boots since the Steel Cage match against Liv Morgan. However, many in WWE expect her to return to the company after a brief hiatus.
#4. Former WWE Champion will never wrestle again, says Jonathan Coachman
Big E has been out of action since suffering a potential career-ending injury in March 2022. While many have been hoping for the former WWE Champion to make a return, Jonathan Coachman believes that the New Day member's career is over:
"Tommy, he's [Big E] never wrestling again, '' Coachman said. ''No, no way," Carlucci replied. "He's never wrestling again. I know he wants to. I would never allow him to because he would take one bad, just a simple chokeslam or a bodyslam for him to be paralyzed forever," The Coach added.
The New Day received help from Odyssey Jones on RAW last night and it is speculated that he could end up replacing Big E in the fan-favorite faction.
