It has been quite an eventful week in the world of pro-wrestling. From PAC finally joining AEW to replace Jon Moxley at All Out to Fenix suffering an injury which may lead to him dropping out of the All Out card, it has been rough for AEW.

However, we shall focus on the most interesting news and rumors emerging from WWE in this article. It has been a great week for WWE Superstars and their relationships as The Rock finally married his girlfriend of 12 years, and Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch got engaged. However, there is another WWE Superstar who got married this week in a secret ceremony.

Let's take a look at who that is and other interesting stories for today:

#5 24/7 Championship gets an unexpected Champion

It can be said without any argument that the 24/7 Championship has been a breath of fresh air in the WWE. While the audience had rejected the concept initially, R-Truth and other Superstars involved have made the 24/7 Championship segment one of the most awaited in WWE.

While R-Truth has held the green title for the majority of the time, we have seen a variety of 24/7 Champions in the process. From a General Manager to a Hall of Famer, from a former WWE Champion to a pregnant lady, WWE has continued to surprise us with the people who can win the belt.

Another such surprise took place when FOX Sports host Rob Stone managed to take the Championship from R-Truth. Unfortunately for Stone, however, Elias - who was the 24/7 Champion before R-Truth won the belt - was able to win it back in quick fashion.

#4 Finn Balor ties the knot

One of the most eligible bachelors in WWE, Finn Balor, has finally been taken off the market as the former Universal Champion married his fiance Veronica Rodriguez.

Rodriguez works for Fox Sports Mexico, and the two have been publicly dating since May of this year.

Finn Balor is currently on a sabbatical from WWE and it looks like the Demon Prince has found the perfect way to utilize his break. Let us hope that this marriage brings some lady luck for Balor who has not seen much success in the WWE as of late.

UFC Welterweight Fighter Jorge Masvidal recently issued a challenge to Brock Lesnar on Twitter. In response, Lesnar's advocate reserved some positive words for the fighter.

In his Tweet, the UFC sensation stated that he is coming for Brock Lesnar and specifically told Paul Heyman to keep a lookout. The Tweet was aimed at Heyman because, as it turns out, Heyman had just recently started following Masvidal.

Here is what Heyman said:

Thanks for reaching out. Great admirer of your fighting, equally as big an admirer of your ability to sell your fights via your personality and ability to translate that personality through your speaking and general demeanor. #MasvidalVsDiaz#GangstaFight

#2 "We haven't seen anything yet"

As we all already know, the man behind the genius of the Firefly Funhouse and The Fiend is Bray Wyatt himself. But the former WWE Champion hasn't been alone on this journey.

Tattoo artist Kyle A. Scarborough and Jason Baker of Tom Savini Studios have a major role to play in the shaping of the current avatar of Bray Wyatt. Baker was recently a part of an interview with Gamespot and made some interesting revelations about what the future holds for Wyatt:

It’s all Bray’s brainchild. He had these ideas, and we did some concept art, but it wasn’t really hitting home with Bray. So he got a really, really good sketch artist named Kyle Scarborough, out of St Louis, to do some concept art for him. Those sketches were awesome, and we took those and brought them to life.

On the mask:

They’re good blueprints, but we put our own stamp on the mask as well. It comes down to sculpting, logistics, and comfort. If the guy’s going to wear this while beating the living **** out of people, he should be able to see out of it and make sure it’s strapped to his head.”

Wyatt's future:

“They need to keep watching because they haven’t seen anything yet. If they think this is the greatest thing to ever happen, they just need to keep watching. It’s going to blow them away.”

If there is one Superstar who has failed to live up to his potential, it's Braun Strowman. The Monster Among Men was recently a guest on Sam Robert's podcast and revealed that he was highly 'frustrated' and 'miserable' after the 2019 Royal Rumble as he felt that WWE's creative team did not make use of great opportunities with him.

He spoke about how he barged into a meeting and vented his frustrations with Vince McMahon:

“I walked into a production meeting one day and I was all but… I’d had enough. I was mad about everything. He [Vince] kicked everybody out of the production meeting two hours before Raw was about to start – the show wasn’t even done – and talked to me for 45 minutes, heart-to-heart, man-to-man conversation, and it opened my eyes to the big picture of, ‘Wow, why am I worrying about this?’”

The current RAW tag team Champion also stated that he felt reassured after speaking to The Chairman who made it clear that WWE wants Strowman to be a part of the company for the next decade.
