#5 Dominik Mysterio reveals long-term WWE plan; to get a new name and mask
Dominik Mysterio is destined to follow in his legendary father's footsteps. If everything goes according to plan, Rey Mysterio's son will become a top WWE Superstar in the time to come.
However, fans should brace themselves for some significant changes that could be in store for Dominik.
Dominik Mysterio sat down for an interview with Chris Van Vliet, and the young Superstar revealed his long-term plan.
Dominik revealed that talks are underway regarding him getting a mask and a new name. He intends to stay true to his Lucha Libre roots. Despite the fans knowing how he looks, Dominik still feels he can find a way to incorporate the mask into his character.
Regarding his name, Dominik revealed his goal is to be called 'Prince Mysterio'.
Here's what Dominik revealed about his long-term WWE plan:
"There's still talks about it, so we would like to eventually get into the tradition of Lucha Libre, which would be putting a mask on me and taking the name. But I think that's all down the line in the future. But now everyone knows my face and what I look like, and the idea of wearing a mask is to hide your identity, to be able to go out to places and stuff like that. But I think I could find a unique way of bringing the mask into my character.
"My long goal [for my name] would be 'Prince Mysterio,' for me, since 'Rey' in Spanish is 'king,' so for my character to be Prince Mysterio, but I don't know, we'll see where it goes." H/t WrestleZone
#4 Victoria is ready to return to WWE for a match on one condition
Victoria will go down in history as one of the most underrated female performers in the business. The two-time WWE Women's Champion left the WWE eleven years ago in 2009, and she wrestled for IMPACT Wrestling and several other independent promotions before retiring in 2019.
Victoria, however, is open to returning for a one-off match, which she revealed during a recent interview with Fightful. The 49-year-old Superstar is willing to consider both WWE and IMPACT Wrestling, but she would only come back if allowed to 'get her s***' in.'
Victoria doesn't even have a problem putting over younger talent, but she stressed the importance of being involved in something meaningful if she does return for a possible WWE match.
Here's what she had to say:
"I would consider it. I would have to ask exactly what the details are. I'm not gonna go back and then just say as the girls going to the ring, "Hey, have a good match," and that's it, that's my cameo. I'm not gonna go back for that. I would like to, what they say in the business, 'get my s**t in a little bit.' When I come in I don't want to just be seen in the background just chit-chatting. I don't want that. I would want to do something. I don't have to win a match or anything like that. I don't mind putting the girls over and stuff like that."
Victoria wrestled her last match in September 2019 against Melina Perez for MORE Wrestling.
#3 Chris Jericho addresses reports of real-life heat with former WWE Universal Champion Goldberg
The issues between Chris Jericho and Goldberg have been talked about for years. Jericho and Goldberg had an infamous backstage fight in the WWE, and as revealed by the former AEW World Champion himself, Jericho managed to get the better of Goldberg in the physical altercation.
Chris Jericho opened up about his relationship with Goldberg on the latest edition of his Saturday Night Special on YouTube.
Jericho admitted that he and Bill Goldberg shared a lot of animosity in WCW, and it was all because they were pitted against each other.
As things stand, Chris Jericho has no issues with Goldberg and they actually share an excellent rapport. The former WWE Superstar has nothing but love for Goldberg, and that's great to see.
Here's what Jericho said about his current equation with the former WWE Universal Champion:
"Bill and I had a lot of animosity over the years just because, they kind of pitted us against each other in WCW and it is what it is. No problems, No issues now. Actually, Bill and I have a very good rapport. We get along great in WCW before we got pitted us against each other. Went to hockey games with each other. Nothing but love for Bill."

#2 Natalya teases training with a mystery wrestler possibly from the WWE
Former WWE Divas Champion Natalya took to Twitter to reveal that she finished a practice session in the ring with her husband, TJ Wilson, aka Tyson Kidd, and Dr. Tom Prichard.
The WWE RAW Superstar also teased training with a mystery wrestler, and she, of course, didn't reveal the identity of the star.
Here's what Natalya revealed in the Tweet:
Finished a wrestling practice in our ring... @TJWilson ran our practice with "Dr Tom" @drtomprichard man in the middle drills. Forgot how much I love/hate those drills! So much fun ... wish I could tell you who i trained with!!
As expected, speculation is rife regarding the identity of the mystery wrestler. The biggest name to have come up is unsurprisingly that of Ronda Rousey, who was also recently spotted training with the daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Rowdy Roddy Piper.
Fans also speculated names like Tessa Blanchard, Aalyah Mysterio, and Melina Perez. However, Ronda Rousey is the safest bet in this situation as the former WWE RAW Women's Champion is good friends with Natalya.
The former UFC Champion even teased having a rematch with Natalya on social media not too long ago.
#1 Backstage details on WWE's Capitol Wrestling Center
As seen at WWE NXT TakeOver: 31, the Performance Center has been rebranded as the Capitol Wrestling Center. The refurbished PC will be the home of NXT going forward, and it marks the beginning of another significant era in the Black-and-Gold brand's history.
An exclusive report from WrestlingInc revealed that the primary reason WWE unveiled Capitol Wrestling Centre was to for live fans to return. The decision also had to do with the recent renovations that were conducted at the Performance Center.
AEW has a long-running streak over NXT in the Wednesday Night Wars, and the belief is that a fresh look and the return of fans will give NXT a 'rejuvenation' that was prevalent before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Full Sail University was never going to allow WWE to get the fans back, and a decision had to be taken to move into the Performance Center.
WWE has started to accommodate fans in small numbers in pods, and the idea is to increase the capacity if there are no positive COVID-19 results. The fans would be kept away from the NXT talent, and the social distancing protocols will be followed with regards to entering and exiting the Capitol Wrestling Center.
The management has a goal of getting fans back by the time the new year comes around. The company wants the 'normal feeling' to return to its shows, but the idea won't be publicly talked about as there is always a possibility of WWE facing potential setbacks.
