Welcome to another edition of WWE Rumor Roundup, where we bring to you the most exciting stories from the world of WWE today.
From main roster Superstars moving to NXT, to CM Punk's interesting advice to current Superstar, let us take a look at the 5 top stories:
#5. More top stars to join NXT
It looks like Finn Balor has set a new trend in that more main roster Superstars may find themselves being transferred to NXT soon. As per SportsKeeda's Tom Colohue, his sources within the company have stated that many Superstars have asked Vince McMahon and Triple H to move back to NXT.
As per the reports, Asuka has a high chance of moving back to NXT as she tops the 'list'. Other Superstars who are being considered for a move back are EC3 and current RAW Tag Team Champion Robert Roode.
With the Wednesday night wars in full swing, WWE is amping up the NXT roster to compete with the high star power being offered by AEW. Here is what Tom Colohue stated:
Asuka is apparently the first name on the list. Given her history in NXT, her record undefeated streak and prolonged title run around which the entire women’s division at the time was based, this isn’t all that much of a surprise
On Cesaro also joining NXT in the future:
Finn Balor and Cesaro were on the list, but the WWE initially gave both appearances in NXT UK before moving Balor full time back to NXT. It is believed that Cesaro could be a name that follows as another figure that could make a huge impact on the yellow brand
While it can't be expected that all of these Superstars will leave the main roster, even if one or two of these megastars join the yellow brand, it would give WWE a distinct advantage in increasing the NXT ratings.

#4. Stephanie McMahon issues statement congratulating Vince McMahon
The Chief Brand Officer of WWE and daughter of Vince McMahon recently wrote a heartwarming message for her dad on Instagram where she congratulated The Chairman for his efforts and revealed how proud she is of him. She also states how grateful she is of being part of this 'machine'. She also stated how Vince McMahon is behind WWE's success:
From a regional business in the northeast territory to a global multi-media enterprise in 180 countries and 28 languages. From a trailer park in North Carolina to Chairman and CEO.
WWE debuted SmackDown on FOX this week which was a historic moment not just for the McMahon family but WWE fans worldwide as well.
#3 The Undertaker reveals why he wasn't part of SmackDown
It came as a rude shock to the fans when The Undertaker did not make his advertised appearance on Friday Night SmackDown's first edition on FOX.
The Undertaker revealed on Twitter, that the reason why he did not appear on the big show was that he was told that he wasn't needed. This is quite a baffling statement as it is quite odd that WWE would choose not to use The Deadman.
#2. Lacey Evans reveals that she sleeps in her car
Lacey Evans has made a major mark on the main roster ever since she debuted. After a stellar feud with The Man herself, Evans now finds herself entangled in a bitter rivalry with Natalya.
On an edition of UpUpDownDown Evans revealed some interesting details about her life:
To be honest with you, I sleep in my car on the road loops, and I still live in a camper trailer. That’s my life. Don’t get it twisted. You see these big hats and these pearls and whatever and life is great, but I remember where I come from. I’m a normal human being and I’ve been through hell just like the rest of the world out there, just like the babies that are suffering. If I can make it, so can they.

The Lady of WWE is known to keep character even outside the ring and is one of the very few remaining Superstars who are always found in their gimmick. So, this was a rare occasion where the Superstar broke character and shared some interesting facts of her life.
#1 CM Punk advises Cain Velasquez
Cain Velasquez shocked the wrestling world when he made an unannounced appearance on SmackDown this Friday and went on to attack the newly crowned WWE Champion - Brock Lesnar.
Velasquez and Lesnar have been enemies since their days in the UFC where it was Velasquez who took the Heavyweight Championship from Brock Lesnar. Now, it looks like WWE is planning to re-ignite the feud between the two as they will clash with each other at the upcoming Crown Jewel PPV on October 31st.
While talking to ESPN, Velasquez shared the advice former WWE Champion CM Punk had given him:
He said, you know, as far as me getting into it, he said to be a team player, we're all working together as a company. Come to the end of the day... you know, it's business as well. So you have to be okay with what you have and what you are being compensated for, in order to go out and perform. And what i'm doing now is... I'm having fun with it, I'm having a blast. It's cool for me to be like, reborn into a new fan again.
