#5 4-time 24/7 Champion EC3 wants a match against WWE legend John Cena

Former WWE Superstar and 4-time 24/7 Champion EC3 recently spoke to WrestleTalk. The former IMPACT World Champion talked about the Superstars in the world of pro-wrestling that he would want to have a dream match against.

Some of the names mentioned by EC3 were Jon Moxley, MJF, and Ethan Page. However, the former NXT Superstar also stated that he feels that a feud between him and John Cena would be something special.

EC3 stated that he believed there are a lot of similarities between John Cena and him which could help build a great narrative.

''Cena probably would be my top pick, because that’s another guy, but you know he’s making real movies now so, that’s cool. With him, I see a lot of similarities with him and me, and there’s differences, like I got to know him personally a little bit. But at the same time, he was kind of on that bubble at one point, but then it all switched for him, and he took off to become one of the biggest names of all time.

EC3 further stated that while he was in a similar bubble himself once, it did not work out for him the way it did for John Cena. While EC3 may not be a part of WWE right now, there is still a chance that we may see him back in the company down the road.

#4 Health update on WWE Champion Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre tested positive for COVID-19 before this week's WWE RAW. This was the reason that the WWE Champion was not present in person on RAW. While the Champion was part of RAW via satellite, his presence was sorely missed by the fans inside the ring.

As per Dave Meltzer of WOR, McIntyre has been showing mild symptoms of coronavirus and it is unknown how he contracted the infection despite keeping safe.

"Mild symptoms, actually. I know what he said, but it's mild symptoms. My impression of McIntyre is that he has been pretty safe as far as not going anywhere, and as far as how he got it? You know, s*** happens, and you can go to a grocery store and get it."

#3 Three more WWE Superstars have tested positive for COVID-19

WWE seems to be in a fix as Drew McIntyre is not the only Superstar who has gotten infected with COVID-19. As per Dave Meltzer of WOR, four WWE Superstars including The Scottish Warrior have tested positive for Coronavirus.

"So, there are at least four, including Drew McIntyre, WWE wrestlers that I'm aware of that have or just got over COVID, and there may be more. Those were only the names I know."

He further stated that one of these wrestlers is a SmackDown Superstar who was slated to be on the show but was written off last-minute because of health issues.

#2 WWE praised for Triple H's return

Last night on WWE RAW, The Game Triple H made his return as a Superstar. The main event for RAW was set to be Randy Orton vs Drew McIntyre. However, due to McIntyre being unable to compete, McMahon had to make some tough last-minute choices.

Former writer Vince Russo praised WWE while speaking on SportsKeeda's Legion of RAW saying that the company did a commendable job by bringing the former WWE Champion back as a replacement for McIntyre.

"I am actually going to give the WWE credit tonight because, you know, this afternoon, when we heard a word of the COVID with Drew. We knew what the main event was supposed to be. Drew and Orton. I give them credit for putting Triple H in that spot."

#1 Andrade set to return to WWE soon?

Charlotte Flair's fiance Andrade recently took to Twitter to hint that he will be returning to WWE soon to help her in her fight against Lacey Evans her own father Ric Flair.

"You need someone in your corner!!! @MsCharlotteWWE @WWE tú necesitas alguien en tu esquina #Mami @wweespanol"

Ric Flair has cost Charlotte Flair two matches since he returned last week on RAW. It is clear that WWE are building towards a big feud featuring the Flair family and having Andrade by Charlotte's side would only add to the drama.
