In today's roundup, we take a look at Paul Heyman's stunning decisions that are improving Monday Night RAW, the return of former tag-team champions and the twitter war between Becky Lynch and Ric Flair. But first, let's kick off with the news of Enzo and Cass possibly returning:

No interest in Enzo and Cass says Triple H

Triple H has made it clear that WWE are not interested in rehiring Enzo and Cass. The COO was talking to talkSPORT when he revealed that the company had zero interest and the former superstar was just spreading rumours.

“I immediately told our PR to shoot down the Enzo and Cass rumours. Absolutely zero interest. Congratulations to Enzo, I'm sure spreading rumours is working well for him but I want no part of it.” said The Game.

The rumours spread after Wrestling Observer reported that the former tag team were set for a shock return. The report stated:

“WWE has been in contact with Enzo and Cass about a surprise return to be top stars on the NXT brand. We don't know if they've accepted, but Cass really hasn't done much on the indie scene and has also made it clear he wants to get back. Enzo, who really knows? He says a lot of things but his rap career isn't exactly going anywhere and he also hasn't done much on the indie scene, but hasn't walked away from wrestling either. We don't know, but the obvious speculation is either a return on the first show or, the way Vince thinks, I could see the third show being the favorite.”

Former tag champions set to return

The Usos have been off WWE TV for some time now and were last seen before SummerSlam. The former tag-team champions are now set to make their comeback according to Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Jimmy and Jey Uso were scheduled to appear at the SummerSlam event in Toronto but following the former's DUI arrest, they were pulled form it. The tag team were reportedly denied entry into Canada and hence WWE pulled him from the event.

Becky Lynch vs Ric Flair for 'The Man' trademark

Becky Lynch is currently got The Man gimmick going on in WWE but it looks like Ric Flair isn't happy with it. The WWE legend has filed for a trademark for 'The Man' according to reports.

The WWE RAW Women's champion took to Twitter following the news and said, “I am The Man”. Lynch was supported by a lot of her fans but some responded by saying that Flair used it way before she did.

Ric Flair has now responded to tweet and revealed that he has 'The Man' already trademarked. He added, 'To Be The Man, You Gotta Beat THE MAN!'

It would not be a surprise if this is all part of a stroyline that is set to take place some time later this year. Lynch has been advertised in the SmackDown tralier by FOX and speculations among the fans suggest that she could be on her way to the blue brand soon.

Paul Heyman has taken charge of Monday Night RAW and it has been brilliant ever since. The advocate of Brock Lesnar reportedly took 3 bold decisions on the show recently.

First, Wrestling Observer Newsletter suggests that Heyman is keen on pushing Robert Roode and that is why has been teamed up with Dolph Ziggler. The newly formed tag-team are the #1 contenders for the RAW tag titles right now.

Second, PW Torch report Heyman as the mastermind behind Sasha Banks' heel turn. He is responsible for her promos and is helping her develop the character.

Finally, The Street Profits are making a lot of appearances these days on Monday Night RAW but the idea to use them in just backstage promos and not have them wrestle is also a plan by Paul Heyman. Dave Meltzer reports that they will continue doing the same for some more time before WWE make a decision on them.
