Rey Mysterio will vacate the United States Championship on Raw next week due to injury

The End of Mysterio's U.S Title Reign

The Master of the 619 Rey Mysterio defeated Samoa Joe at Money in the Bank in controversial fashion to win the United States Championship. According to reports, the US Champion Mysterio will return to Monday Night Raw next week to relinquish his title due to an unfortunate injury suffered by Samoa Joe at Money in the Bank.

The announcement of his injury was made by the WWE Commentators who stated that Rey wasn't available for this week's Raw and would relinquish the title next week instead, which led to Joe coming out to the entrance ramp and declaring he would be there when Mysterio vacates the title so he could get back what's rightfully his.

This was Mysterio's first US Championship reign but it will be cut short in a few days. This could probably lead, though not verified, to a feud between his son Dominic and Samoa Joe. We will find out how WWE will deal with the situation in the coming weeks.

AJ Styles is suffering from another injury

The Phenomenal One is currently injured

On this week's episode of Monday Night RAW, it was revealed that The Phenomenal AJ Styles is suffering from an injury and that he wouldn't take part in the scheduled fatal four-way elimination match to determine the number one contender for Seth Rollins' Universal title that night. After Raw, Styles revealed the actual injury he's suffering from which kept him out of action this week.

According to reports, Styles spoke in his Mixer account following RAW where he said that the injury he's suffering is not a major one and vowed to return soon to action. Here is what the former WWE Champion had to say:

"I've got something going on with my AC joint. It's rubbing up against bone and we thought I had a fracture. It may not be the case, which is a good thing. It may require a shot to keep the swelling down. It's not a major injury. It's just wear and tear.

"Hopefully, it doesn't keep me out for very long. I can't stand being out but I haven't had rest in a long time. So I'm going to take time to rest my body so I can be back. WWE has made sure we've dealt with this injury properly. Trust me, I want to be back. I want to earn my money."

We wish Styles a speedy recovery and hope that he makes it to Super ShowDown.

Jon Moxley talks about being lied to by Vince McMahon and how his return pop was taken away from him

Jon Moxley made some interesting comments about WWE and Vince McMahon

In the latest WWE NEWS, Jon Moxley made a thunderous debut at AEW's Double or Nothing where he attacked Chris Jericho, the referee, and brawled with Kenny Omega. Moxley recently appeared on Chris Jericho's Talk is Jericho podcast where he revealed some backstage details about WWE and being lied to by Vince McMahon and how his return pop was taken away from him.

According to reports, Ambrose stated that he was able to convince Vince McMahon to allow him to return at SummerSlam instead of the week before, which McMahon was happy with. He then left and trained with Joey Mercury before it was made clear that he was being brought back to be in Seth's corner the week before SummerSlam on Raw, so the company had lied to him and pretended to go with his idea when they had no actual intention of doing it. Ambrose later stated:

"So they have this promo segment going on and I didn't realize the way that they wrote this...I'm sitting behind the curtain waiting for that pop, it's all going to be worth it, nine months, it's all going to be worth it, then the way it's written Seth goes 'if you're going to have a Scottish Psychopath in your corner... then I'm gonna have a lunatic in mine' so it muddled the pop into like four different reactions....It's a small example of how they ruin everything."

The Undertaker will return to WWE RAW next week

The Phenom will return to Raw before facing Goldberg at WWE Super ShowDown

The Undertaker is scheduled to face Goldberg at WWE Super ShowDown on the 7th of June, 2019 in Saudi Arabia. The Phenom has been a force in WWE for the better part of three decades, during which he has established himself as one of the greatest Superstars in the history of the company.

The Undertaker will reportedly be returning to WWE RAW once again next week, where he will presumably set up his match against the legend Bill Goldberg. It was originally announced on this week's episode of SmackDown Live.

The two are set to face each other in what is considered to be a dream match. It is not confirmed by WWE whether or not Goldberg will be appearing on TV before Super ShowDown but it remains to be seen.

Let me start by saying this: I am ok. I was hit by a drunk driver today on my way home from the PC. Hit and run.

I’m extremely thankful it was my passengers side that was hit. Some people aren’t so lucky-please DONT DRINK AND DRIVE.

Jox Moxley FKA Dean Ambrose reveals when and why he decided to leave WWE

Jon Moxley wasn't happy with his run in WWE

Jon Moxley debuted in AEW on Saturday last week, and it's now safe to say that Moxley is now an official member of All Elite Wrestling. Even though he left WWE in April 2019 after his contract expired, he actually wanted to leave the company long before that.

According to recent reports, Jon Moxley stated that he originally decided that he was going to leave WWE in July 2018, one month before he made his return from a lengthy triceps injury.

Moxley stated the following on Chris Jericho's Talk is Jericho podcast:

“I knew pretty much that I was gone in July of 2018. At that point, I was out with an injury. I tore my tricep and normally that would only be a four-month thing but it was so banged up and bruised because I had been working on it hurt for a long time. The tendon was all mangled and everything, so it was minimum six months and then I got a staph infection and then I had to go in for surgery again. It turned into nine months and it was a mess – a very miserable time in my life.”
