2) Rumors on Kushida being done with WWE

Former Cruiserweight Champion Kushida is reportedly done with the company. Fightful Select has reported that the star has left, but the reason is unknown. While one of their sources said it was due to budget cuts, there is also a belief that his deal has expired.

Kushida joined WWE in 2019 and remained on NXT without making a major impact. Considering that he was a big name in Japan, fans believed he wasn't used to his full potential. The star's profile on the website has been moved to the alumni section.


3) Who will be Roman Reigns' next challenger?

Roman Reigns became the undisputed world champion in WWE after his win against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38. However, it is still not clear who he will feud with next. As per Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there are three contenders for Reigns as of now - Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes, and Bobby Lashley.

Meltzer revealed that McIntyre has been working against Reigns on house shows, and he was earmarked for a big feud with The Tribal Chief following WrestleMania 38, making him the obvious choice.

Rhodes and Lashley are already involved in programs against Seth Rollins and Omos respectively. Meltzer said that Roman could likely face Cody at SummerSlam and Drew at the stadium show in Cardiff.
