We are back with another exciting WWE News Roundup. This week, a former WWE talent teased a potential return to the company.
Paul Heyman recently made an intriguing change to his Facebook page, which has got fans speculating about the future. Meanwhile, two particular superstars have reacted to different debuts from the latest edition of AEW Dynamite.
Not too long ago, an inactive talent sent a message to his fans via social media. Additionally, Triple H recently spoke about Vince McMahon's rare non-WWE public appearance.
With that in mind, let's dive straight into the latest WWE News Roundup.
#5 Former WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio shares a throwback picture with an interesting caption
Alberto Del Rio has wrestled on several promotions during his time away from WWE. Back when he was contracted to Vince McMahon's company, Del Rio became a four-time world champion, making a name for himself in the process.
He recently took to Twitter to post a throwback picture featuring him and the WWE Championship. Del Rio also wrote a short caption, teasing a return to the company. Check out his tweet below:
Last month, Alberto Del Rio spoke to Sportskeeda Wrestling's Riju Dasgupta. The former world champion explained he was dealing with personal and professional struggles during his last WWE run in 2016.
Del Rio seems open to a future WWE return and is willing to apologize for his past mistakes as well.
"No excuse, but I was also going through a difficult time in my life when I got divorced," said Alberto Del Rio. "I lost a fantastic woman, the mother of my children, for my mistakes, and that put me in a deep depression. But that's just for me to handle. It's not an excuse. It takes a toll on you and your body, and your mind and your spirit. So, I will say thank you and sorry, and I would do it again."
Alberto Del Rio wants WWE to know that he can be trusted again, and the popular star is also making some moves outside the company.
He will face Andrade El Idolo and Carlito in a triple threat match at the Hecho en Mexico event on July 31 in Hidalgo, Texas. He is also set to appear at Fabulous Lucha Libre on August 20 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
#4 Paul Heyman's Facebook page update hinting at Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns' WWE futures?
On WWE SmackDown, Paul Heyman's alliance with Universal Champion Roman Reigns has been an exciting storyline thus far.
While Heyman became The Tribal Chief's special counsel last year, he was mostly recognized as Brock Lesnar's advocate before that point. Lesnar isn't a part of WWE at the moment, but fans often think about what could happen if he were an active competitor along with Roman Reigns today.
Will Paul Heyman be forced to choose sides? Or would he simultaneously act as Lesnar's advocate and Reigns' special counsel?
Paul Heyman recently updated the profile photo of 'Heyman Hustle' (his official Facebook page), which showed Brock Lesnar - mostly out of the picture - standing tall over a fallen Roman Reigns. Check out the full-size photo below:
It's also possible that Heyman changed his profile picture just to grab some attention by trolling everyone. Thanks to his Facebook update, many fans are speculating about Brock Lesnar's potential WWE return, as well as a future clash between The Beast Incarnate and Roman Reigns.
What are your thoughts on the photo?
#3 WWE Superstars Zelina Vega and Charlotte Flair react to their significant others' AEW debuts
Zelina Vega and Charlotte Flair are currently part of two different brands in WWE. Vega recently returned to the company, while her husband, Tommy End (fka Aleister Black), was let go by WWE last month.
The latter made a surprising appearance on the latest edition of AEW Dynamite, under the name 'Malakai Black.' He attacked Cody Rhodes and the legendary Arn Anderson, earning a wild reaction from the live crowd in Miami, Florida.
Zelina Vega reacted to the same via Twitter, expressing how proud she was of her husband. Check out her tweets below:
Meanwhile, former WWE Superstar Andrade El Idolo made his AEW in-ring debut on the same episode. He defeated Matt Sydal in a singles match that lasted almost eight minutes.
Andrade's fiancee, Charlotte Flair, is proud of him, as mentioned in one of the tweets embedded below:
Charlotte Flair will face RAW Women's Champion Rhea Ripley at the upcoming WWE Money in the Bank pay-per-view.
During the same event, Zelina Vega is set to take part in the women's Money in the Bank ladder match.
#2 WWE Superstar Keith Lee sends a heartwarming message to his fans
Earlier this year, Keith Lee was touted as one of the most promising stars in WWE. He was expected to face Bobby Lashley and Riddle in a triple threat contest at February's Elimination Chamber event.
However, John Morrison replaced him in the match, as Lee was pulled from the bout due to an injury. The former NXT star hasn't been seen on WWE television since February, with reports indicating that he isn't medically cleared to compete.
Keith Lee recently took to Twitter to acknowledge the first anniversary of last year's NXT Great American Bash. On the second night of the show, he became a double champion by defeating Adam Cole.
While that is easily one of the biggest highlights of the Black and Gold brand, a lot has changed for Lee on the main roster. Now, The Limitless One has told everyone to stay patient when it comes to his onscreen absence, sending an encouraging message to WWE fans through this tweet:
Do you miss Keith Lee's presence on WWE RAW these days? Let us know in the comments section below.
#1 Triple H explains Vince McMahon's recent non-WWE public appearance
Due to his busy work schedule, Vince McMahon is known to be someone who seldom makes non-WWE appearances. On June 26, he was seen backstage at popular comedian Dave Chappelle's show in Connecticut.
Vince McMahon attended the show with his daughter, Stephanie, and son-in-law, Paul 'Triple H' Levesque.
The photo, which has since been made public, featured the WWE Chairman and comedian Donnell Rawlings. Stephanie McMahon can also be seen in the background of the picture:
Triple H recently spoke about this topic during an interview with The New York Post. According to him, Vince McMahon happens to be a huge fan of Dave Chappelle's comedy.
Moreover, attending Chappelle's show on a Saturday did not interfere with the WWE Chairman's schedule.
“We all find Dave Chappelle, much like the rest of the world, I think, as incredibly entertaining and funny and we’re big fans,” said Triple H. “And there was a rare opportunity where he was going to be in town, we all had an opportunity to have a few moments where we weren’t going to be working for a minute and we could also go see him. It sort of kind of was one of those things where we all went to each other at the same time — ‘Hey, I saw Chappelle is going to be doing some shows.'”
Triple H added that Vince McMahon is certainly a private person, although people often have exaggerated notions about him in the public sphere.
