Welcome to another edition of the daily WWE News and Rumor Roundup, where we try and bring the latest news and rumors from the world of WWE. In today's edition, we will take a look at some interesting topics involving top names like Brock Lesnar, Drew McIntyre, Riddle, and many more.
We will also take a look at what the future holds for the released former WWE Champion and if he will be joining AEW soon or not. Apart from that, this article will focus on Drew McIntyre issuing a challenge to Brock Lesnar. It should be noted that Lesnar has never been able to defeat the Scottish Superstar.
So without any further ado, let us delve into the top rumors and news related to WWE:
#5 Drew McIntyre issues a challenge to former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar
Appearing on WWE's The Bump, Drew McIntyre issued a challenge to Brock Lesnar. The man who defeated The Beast Incarnate at WrestleMania 36 for the WWE Championship said that he wants to have a rematch.
“I’m always excited to get into the ring with the absolute best. There’s not many that are as good or as physical as Brock Lesnar. At WrestleMania, I did defeat him in five minutes. But I would like the opportunity to face Brock again and in front of a live audience,” admitted McIntyre. (via WrestlingInc)
The two faced each other in the main-event of WrestleMaia 36. When McIntyre defeated Lesnar in under 5 minutes, his crowning moment came in front of an empty arena.
The men had a great program leading up to their clash and it would be fitting if they renewed hostilities and had another big match, this time in front of a packed crowd.
Brock Lesnar is slated to face Roman Reigns for the Universal title at Crown Jewel, while McIntyre will challenge Big E for the WWE Championship at the show.
#4 WWE Superstar Riddle's wife blasts him on Twitter
WWE RAW tag team champion Riddle recently made a tweet about how much he loves his life now that he gets to team with Randy Orton. The former UFC fighter's wife, Lisa Riddle, did not take very kindly to his statement and hit back on social media.
Lisa Riddle accused Matt Riddle of being happy because he had moved to Orlando and left his kids behind. The post was taken down, but here is what was said:
“You would say that now that you packed up and moved to Orlando away from your children.”
Lisa and Matt have been together since 2011 and have 3 children. This is not the first time that issues from Riddle's personal life have been made public.
#3 The Great Khali slaps a person for interrupting interview
Former WWE world champion The Great Khali recently posted a video of slapping a fan who interrupted his interview. In the video Khali can be seen answering some questions before a young man barges in and tries to shift the focus of the interview towards himself.
The WWE Hall of Famer did not take very kindly to this fan's actions and ended up handing a tight slap to the young fellow. The former WWE superstar is one of the most iconic names in India and is the first person from India to have won the World Heavyweight Championship.
#2 Marty Elias had warned Ricochet before he joined WWE
Speaking on SportsKeeda's UnSKripted, former WWE referee Marty Elias said he had warned Ricochet about joining the company in 2017. Elias said that he alerted the former Prince Puma to the fact that his style wouldn't suit WWE.
''They are not going to let you be Ricochet. They are not going to let you be Prince Puma, they are going to handcuff you, and they are going to tell you to be Ricochet WWE," revealed Marty Elias.
He revealed that Ricochet was adamant about getting out of his contract with Lucha Underground so he could go work for WWE. While Elias admitted that it was understandable that a superstar wanted to go to WWE, he feared Ricochet wouldn't be allowed to live up to his potential.
#1 AEW not interested in former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt?
Rumors had suggested that former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt was AEW bound. However, Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer has stated that the company is not very interested in signing Wyatt as of now. One of the factors could be that Wyatt will cost a large sum of money and the company likely doesn't feel the need to add him to the roster at present.
AEW has brought in many of the released WWE superstars and might be looking to put a cap on the number of former WWE stars it has on the roster. Here is what Alvarez stated:
'' I have talked to people about Bray and they impression that I was given was not a lot of interest and obviously he's going to be asking for a lot of money.''
