We are back with another exciting WWE News Roundup. A multi-time world champion recently highlighted what Vince McMahon told Roman Reigns in late 2019.
Becky Lynch posted a new photo on Instagram, and she looks shredded! Meanwhile, The Rock's doppelganger has gone viral, and the Hollywood star himself reacted to this story a few days ago.
Although Bayley is currently out of action, she recently took a shot at a 24-year-old star. Additionally, Sheamus has revealed what The Undertaker said to him not too long ago.
With that in mind, let's dive straight into the latest WWE News Roundup.
#5 Ric Flair says Vince McMahon did not allow him to take a bump at WWE Crown Jewel 2019
During the 2019 edition of WWE Crown Jewel, Roman Reigns, Rusev, Ricochet, Shorty G, and Ali (Team Hogan) took on Randy Orton, King Corbin, Bobby Lashley, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Drew McIntyre (Team Flair).
Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair also stood in their respective teams' corners in the 10-man battle, and the latter was even supposed to take a bump from Reigns at one point.
However, WWE CEO Vince McMahon was not in favor of the spot and specifically instructed Reigns not to touch Flair. The 72-year-old legend spoke about this on Renee Paquette's Oral Sessions podcast:
"When Vince [McMahon] called me and asked me to go to Saudi Arabia, I worked out like I was going to Saudi Arabia to wrestle, right? The doctor said, ‘You can get knocked down, you can do anything you want. Few things you’re not supposed to do’ but fear is I got that [pacemaker] taken out. The longer it’s in, the more muscle where it’s protected, right? So Roman [Reigns] made this big comeback and I got up to feed Roman, but Vince had told him, ‘Absolutely hands off.’ I understand it but like I said, what a way to go, right?" said Ric Flair.
Roman Reigns captained Team Hogan in this battle, and they emerged victoriously at Crown Jewel 2019.
Although Reigns is currently the Universal Champion, Ric Flair left WWE on August 3, 2021, after requesting his release from the company.
#4 WWE Superstar Becky Lynch appears to be in great shape
Becky Lynch made her long-awaited WWE return at SummerSlam and defeated Bianca Belair to become the new SmackDown Women's Champion.
The popular superstar recently took to Instagram to post a photo of herself in which she looks ripped. Lynch also thanked a few people in the caption, who helped take her fitness goals to the next level.

#3 The Rock reacts to his trending doppelganger from Alabama
An Alabama law enforcement officer named Eric Fields recently went viral on social media, as he looks very similar to Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.
The WWE legend has also tweeted out his reaction to the striking resemblance. He thanked Fields for his service while acknowledging how the officer must have a few "Rock stories" because of their similar appearances.
"Oh sh*t! Wow. Guy on the left is way cooler. Stay safe brother and thank you for your service. One day we’ll drink @Teremana and I need to hear all your “Rock stories” because I KNOW you got ‘em #ericfields," tweeted The Rock.
Eric Fields has opened up regarding the topic as well, noting that people jokingly call him The Rock and Vin Diesel's love child.

#2 Bayley targets WWE RAW Superstar Rhea Ripley
Bayley is currently on the shelf due to a torn ACL, but that hasn't prevented her from reacting to WWE's current product.
Rhea Ripley recently defeated Shayna Baszler on RAW and also tweeted about the same. Bayley responded to the Australian star soon after and teased their potential future showdown as well.
Bayley and Rhea Ripley haven't wrestled each other in a singles match yet. Would you like to see a clash between them at some point down the road?
#1 The Undertaker's recent message for Sheamus
Sheamus has been a part of WWE for more than a decade. The veteran was recently reminded by The Undertaker that he is now a senior talent.
Speaking to ComicBook, Sheamus mentioned that he's had the opportunity to work with new talent from WWE NXT over the last year and a half. The Celtic Warrior also highlighted his conversation with The Deadman and how the last 12 years have felt like a blur to him.
"Listen, the last year and a half I've got a chance to mix up with a lot of the new talent coming up from NXT. For me, it's been a fun experience. [The Under]taker said to me on Monday... He's like, 'Oh, you're one of the old crew now. One of the older guys, senior guys now.' It took me a second to process that because the last 12 years feels kind of like a blur, you know what I mean? But yeah, you know I love it," said Sheamus.
Sheamus and The Undertaker never clashed one-on-one in WWE. This will likely remain a dream match for many fans, as The Deadman retired from in-ring competition last year.
