WWE News Roundup: Potential update on major return, Alexa Bliss' surprising tag team partner, Becky Lynch confronts fan (September 26, 2021) 

We are back with another exciting WWE News Roundup. Not too long ago, a former women's champion gave a possible update on her eventual return.

Alexa Bliss recently teamed up with a surprising name during a house show. Following the latest SmackDown episode, Becky Lynch confronted an audience member for an interesting reason.

Meanwhile, a WWE Hall of Famer spoke about Christian being the "clear number two" in his tag team with Edge. Additionally, Drew McIntyre has highlighted his expectations from the upcoming draft.

With that in mind, let's dive straight into the most recent WWE News Roundup.

#5 Potential update on Bayley's return status

Back in July, Bayley suffered a torn ACL while training at the Performance Center. Soon after this unfortunate development, reports indicated that she would be out of action for nine months.

While those nine months aren't over yet, the former SmackDown Women's Champion recently put out an interesting tweet. Check it out below:

Bayley certainly seems "ready" for something, and given her current status, many believe it could be an update regarding her return.

On the other hand, this tweet may refer to a different topic instead, as she is often known to troll her followers on social media.

#4 Alexa Bliss teams up with Bianca Belair to face top WWE titleholders

During a recent WWE Live Supershow in Hershey, Pennsylvania, Alexa Bliss teamed up with Bianca Belair for the first time in her career. Before this event, both women had been part of the same bouts on only two other occasions - the 2020 and 2021 Women's Royal Rumble matches.

Bliss and Belair faced Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch - their respective opponents at Extreme Rules - during the house show.

Alexa Bliss pinned Flair at the end of the contest to pick up a victory for her team.

Although the Bliss-Belair pairing does seem a bit unexpected, non-televised WWE events often feature such random crowd-pleasing moments. But if both superstars end up on the same brand during next month's draft, would you like to see them form a tag team for good?

#3 Becky Lynch lashes out at a fan after a dark match

After the latest WWE SmackDown episode went off the air, Becky Lynch fought Bianca Belair in a singles match. At one point during the bout, Belair allowed a fan dressed as The EST to whip Lynch on the head using her own hair.

After the SmackDown Women's Champion retained her title, she walked back to the entrance area and confronted this crowd member about the incident.

Here's a clip of Becky Lynch lashing out at the fan:

This is all part of Lynch's efforts to make her villainous character appear more unlikeable, and it seems to be gradually working with the crowds as well.

#2 Jim Ross compares Edge and Christian as breakout stars in WWE

On the latest episode of Grilling JR, Jim Ross spoke about Edge getting a bigger push in the company than the latter's tag team partner, Christian.

Although both men eventually evolved into singles competitors, the veteran commentator said that Christian was the "clear number two" of the team when it came to becoming a breakout star.

“I always thought Edge was going to be a breakout star because he connected with the audience, and Jay [Jay Reso, Christian’s real name] was always the clear number two on that team. So I was glad they both got their opportunity to grow on their own, but I always thought that Edge had a little bit of a leg up in that scenario, but that does not mean by any stretch of the imagination that Christian wasn’t a very good hand,” Ross stated.

Jim Ross has always been a fan of the current IMPACT World Champion's in-ring work. However, he felt that Edge was more charismatic between the two.

Both superstars briefly reunited during this year's Royal Rumble match, after which Christian signed with AEW. Who do you think was the better talent when they were tag team partners? Let us know in the comments section below.

#1 Drew McIntyre reveals what he is looking forward to following the WWE Draft

This year's WWE Draft will take place on the October 1st and October 4th episodes of SmackDown and RAW, respectively. During a recent interview with Steven Wilson of the Eat Sleep Suplex Retweet podcast, Drew McIntyre gave his take on possibly getting drafted to the Blue brand.

The Scottish Warrior believes there are a few "good stories" that he could take part in on SmackDown. McIntyre seemed excited about future feuds and did not care whether that would happen with him getting drafted or other stars moving to RAW.

“I think I've pretty much worked with everybody that I want to work with on RAW, and I'm excited for things to get mixed up now and get into some good programs," said McIntyre. "That's what I care about, the story. I know there's some good stories that I could be able to tell on SmackDown. So be it if I go there or if they come over to RAW, I don't care. I'm just excited for the future feuds.”

Interestingly, Drew McIntyre is advertised to face Roman Reigns on October 1 on SmackDown. It remains to be seen whether this will take place on or off the air.
