Welcome to the September 27th edition of WWE News Roundup. A current superstar has spoken about his WrestleMania storyline from a few years ago, which he thought was a "mess."

Bray Wyatt recently reacted to Seth Rollins' newsworthy comments about an infamous match from 2019. Charlotte Flair vs. Alexa Bliss turned out to be one of the biggest takeaways from WWE Extreme Rules 2021, and The Queen has now explained her post-match actions in a backstage interview.

Becky Lynch put out an interesting tweet that she deleted not too long ago. Additionally, Big E said he would be the right choice as the last opponent for a Hall of Famer.

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


#5 Seth Rollins' honest opinion on the buildup to his WWE WrestleMania match against Triple H

At WrestleMania 33, Seth Rollins defeated Triple H in an unsanctioned match. While a major victory over The King of Kings is an excellent accomplishment for any current talent, Rollins recently admitted that their storyline wasn't perfect from start to finish.

WWE laid the seeds for their 2017 clash a year prior, when Triple H ended his lengthy alliance with the former Shield member. Appearing on a recent episode of Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions show, the SmackDown star highlighted the erratic buildup to their eventual clash.

“We had a long stretch where Triple H wasn’t on TV, wasn’t on live events, we weren’t working, so we had to go in a different direction," said Seth Rollins. "We had all that heat, went away from it, and then we had to ramp it back up WrestleMania time and there was a bit of a disconnect. Again, when he was off and we weren’t doing that heat, people were going, ‘Why aren’t you targeting Triple H?’ You know, the story’s there but we’re not touching on it, so it was a bit early [Triple H’s attack on Rollins]. It was just a mess, man."

Despite Seth Rollins' comments regarding this storyline, he enjoyed his WrestleMania contest against Triple H. Both WWE Superstars fought each other for over 30 minutes in the longest match of the pay-per-view.

#4 Bray Wyatt reacts to Seth Rollins' comments about their WWE Hell in a Cell match

Seth Rollins and 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt's 2019 Hell in a Cell contest remains one of the most critically panned matches in modern-day WWE. Their infamous main event ended via referee stoppage, which did not sit well with many viewers.

While appearing on Broken Skull Sessions, Rollins said he was furious about the outcome and mentioned what happened later backstage.

"I came through that curtain and I was ready to strangle Vince McMahon." Rollins continued, "I’m not kidding you, I’m not kidding you. Tyson Kidd, TJ Wilson [WWE producer] was there to hold me back. Dude, I stared right into Vince’s eyes. You know where he sits in that chair over there [backstage]. I looked at him, he looked at me, we didn’t say a single word to each other, and he walked out.”

His comments about Hell in a Cell 2019 have become a hot topic of discussion on social media lately. Bray Wyatt also took to Twitter to state that fans should stay tuned to hear his take on their infamous match:

Since Wyatt is no longer in WWE and is reportedly heading to AEW, many believe the former world champion will have an even stronger opinion on this issue.

#3 Charlotte Flair explains why she ripped Alexa Bliss' doll apart at WWE Extreme Rules

During the recently-concluded Extreme Rules event, Charlotte Flair successfully defended her WWE RAW Women's Championship against Alexa Bliss.

Flair then tore Bliss' doll, Lilly, to shreds after their match. This caused an emotional breakdown for the challenger as part of the storyline. In a subsequent backstage interview, The Queen referred to her recent rival by her real name and said she was glad to see the "old Alexa" back during their bout.

Flair added that destroying the Lilly doll was a much-needed "wake-up call" for the RAW Superstar.

"The Alexa I faced tonight was the old Alexa. It was the Alexa I saw when she held the RAW Women’s Championship multiple times. Tonight, she fought me and faced me. Yes, I’m still the Queen, but that’s the Lexi we all want to see. I don’t want to hear about Lilly." Flair continued, "Ripping up Lilly was a wake-up call. A wake-up call to remind her that she’s still a champion at heart.”

In your opinion, what should be Alexa Bliss' creative direction moving forward? Let us know in the comments section below.

#2 Becky Lynch deletes a tweet about WWE Extreme Rules

At Extreme Rules, Becky Lynch's WWE SmackDown Women's Championship clash against Bianca Belair ended due to Sasha Banks' interference. The company's official website has listed the match result as a no-contest, even though Banks ambushed Belair first.

After the bout, Lynch took to Twitter to quote herself upon retaining the title. However, she deleted this tweet soon after for an unspecified reason. Check it out below:

Many fans think the reason behind why she took down her tweet is that, contrary to what the quote had stated, Lynch retained her gold at Extreme Rules without technically earning a win.

This time around, both women put on a significantly longer match than their 26-second encounter at SummerSlam 2021.

Now that Sasha Banks has re-entered the SmackDown Women's Championship scenario, she could soon fight Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch in a triple threat encounter.

At the same time, this year's WWE Draft will begin in just a few days, so all three women may end up getting scattered across different brands.

#1 WWE Champion Big E makes a bold statement about Goldberg

Big E recently recalled that WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg used to be his favorite pro wrestler when he was a child. A potential clash between the two would surely be a dream come true for the current WWE Champion.

During an appearance on Hot 97 radio, The New Day member seemed quite open to becoming the superstar who retires Goldberg for good.

“Well, who better to retire him?" Big E continued, "Who better to take him out to pasture, take Old Yeller behind the barn? We'll see. I just feel like I would be the right person to send them on home, give him his walking cane, and say, ‘Thank you for your service.'"

Big E is still engaged in a rivalry with the superstar he defeated to become WWE Champion earlier this month - Bobby Lashley.

Meanwhile, Goldberg unsuccessfully challenged Lashley for the world title at SummerSlam in August.

However, their feud does not seem to have ended yet, as the Hall of Famer clearly expressed that he and the 45-year-old veteran are far from done with each other.
