#5 WWE's reported plans for Roman Reigns and his faction

Roman Reigns is the undisputed top star of WWE at the moment and as the Universal Champion is currently experiencing the best phase of his career.

WWE, however, is all set to take Roman Reigns' heel run to the next level.

WrestlingNews.co reports that WWE has big plans for Roman Reigns' faction, which would include Jimmy and Jey Uso. Roman, Jey, and Jimmy, would also reportedly receive a new theme song, and The Usos will also wrestle shirtless moving forward, similar to their leader.

The entire storyline is designed to elevate Roman Reigns to the next level while also to get Jimmy and Jey Uso to a different pedestal.

The 'Day One-Ish' theme song of The Usos will be a thing of the past in due time, and the faction will get new music to suit their heel persona.

A WWE source told WrestlingNews.co that the storyline between Reigns and The Usos had been mapped out for the next few months, and Vince McMahon is also entirely on board with the angle. Reigns and The Usos will continue to build their storyline unless a significant injury plays spoilsport.

Jey Uso finally turned heel on the last episode of SmackDown after he accepted Roman Reigns to be the 'head of the table, before unleashing a brutal attack on Daniel Bryan.

Roman Reigns is the clan leader, and he will call the shots, with Jimmy and Jey Uso expected to follow his orders. The Usos are also most likely set to win the SmackDown Tag Team titles when Jimmy Uso is cleared to return.

The Samoan Era of SmackDown is well and truly upon us, and it won't end anytime soon.

#4 John Cena Sr. addresses rumors of him possibly joining AEW, shoots on WWE's Roman Reigns

John Cena Sr. sat down with Boston Wrestling MWF for an interview, during which 16-time WWE Champion John Cena's father spoke on several relevant topics.

Cena Sr. addressed the rumors of him possibly joining AEW. He began by shooting down the report and quoted JBL while he did the same.

However, John Cena Sr. praised Chris Jericho and Cody's work and admitted that he would be open to joining AEW if the promotion needed him.

"I don't know what sources you have and what you're drinking, but don't drink the Kool-Aid as JBL would say. There's no truth to that.

"Listen, AEW; I wouldn't mind. If you need me, I'm here."

John Cena Sr. also shared his honest opinions on Roman Reigns. Cena Sr. was never a fan of Reigns, but the WWE Universal Champion's heel character has started to win him over.

John Cena Sr. also felt that Roman Reigns was carried in the Shield, and he thought that the Tribal Chief was finally in a spot in which he can thrive and show his true qualities in WWE.

"It's no secret I was not a fan of Reigns before. As far as I'm concerned, this is the first time that WWE is using him properly. It must be the idea of Paul Heyman or Vince McMahon to turn him heel. It's the best thing they could have ever done." The mistake they made with Roman was, 'You don't like roast beef, but I'm gonna shove it down your throat anyway.' What they should have done is kept him in a tweener role, where he could be either a nice guy or SOB depending on the day. When he was in the Shield, he was just a part of a faction. The other two carried him, and I think even Reigns will admit that. Now, they've brought him to a point where he belongs. They got rid of that Shield BS, and now he's a terror." H/t WrestlingInc

#3 Rey Mysterio believes Cain Velasquez will return to WWE

Rey Mysterio was recently a guest on Ariel Helwani's ESPN MMA Show, and the WWE Legend shared his thoughts on Cain Velasquez's recent WWE release and wrestling future.

Rey Mysterio revealed that Cain Velasquez is quite passionate about wrestling and Lucha Libre while adding that Velasquez's big dream was to perform in WWE. The future WWE Hall of Famer claimed that he doesn't think Velasquez is done for good as the former UFC Champion could be back.

Mysterio also felt that Cain Velasquez made the right call to wrestle without a mask as the MMA Heavyweight had created his legacy while fighting in UFC.

"I really don't — I can't dig into the exact situation with Cain [Velasquez]. I do know for a fact that he's very dedicated. He's very passionate about Lucha Libre and about wrestling. I know this was one of his biggest dreams to be part of WWE. I honestly don't think that he's gone for good. I think he's gonna make an appearance and a comeback, and it's very hard to put a mask on someone that has created their own history within the UFC, like Cain. I think the best thing for him was to wrestle without a mask." H/t POST Wrestling

Cain Velasquez was released from the WWE on April 28, 2020, as part of the company-wide COVID-19 budget cuts.

#2 WWE Superstars tried to stop The Rock from becoming a World Champion, The Undertaker's support

WWE's new special, 'Meeting The Undertaker,' features several top WWE Superstars talking about their experiences of interacting with the Phenom.

The Rock also spoke about his relationship with the Deadman, and he revealed an interesting story from the early days of his career. The Rock was earmarked for his first world title run a long time ago, and many wrestlers within WWE wanted to stop it from happening.

The Rock explained that a handful of WWE Superstars tried to hold him back, but The Undertaker wasn't one of them. During that time, the Undertaker supported The Rock and told the 'Great One' to keep working hard as he had a bright future ahead of him.

"When I started to make the move and word started to get around that the office was priming me for a WWE Championship run, there were a handful of guys in the business at that time; they did everything they could to stop that run from happening. Undertaker was one of those guys who was always so steady, telling me, "Don't worry about it, kid. You just got out; you keep doing your thing, you have a hell of a future."

It doesn't get bigger than having the backstage support of The Undertaker. Thankfully, The Rock exceeded all expectations by becoming the most recognizable WWE Superstar of all time.

#1 Details of WWE Chairman Vince McMahon's upcoming Netflix documentary

As revealed during the recent third-quarter WWE earnings call, Netflix and WWE have agreed upon a 'groundbreaking' deal to make a documentary on Vince McMahon.

Bill Simmons has been announced as the Executive Director of the documentary, with Chris Smith will be the producer alongside WWE Studios.

During her recent appearance on the 'Token CEO' podcast, Stephanie McMahon revealed that the documentary would be a four-part series. While the release date or the documentary title weren't revealed, it would contain four episodes. It does sound like a fascinating project in the making.

Stephanie McMahon admitted that she was a little nervous as it's her father's docuseries. At the same time, WWE's Chief Brand Officer also expressed how excited she was to see her iconic father's life showcased in a big-budget Netflix documentary. Vince McMahon's story is the quintessential American dream coming to fruition, according to Stephanie McMahon.

"For the first time ever, there is a four-part documentary on the life of my father Vince McMahon, and it's going to be on Netflix. It's a really big deal. I'm totally nervous about it because I want to protect my dad, not that he wants to be protected. It's going to be incredible. There's no one like my father. He grew up in a trailer park in North Carolina and didn't meet his dad until he was 13 and had no running water until he was 10. To have someone who truly lived the American dream, who believed in himself and was willing to invest in himself. The things he had to do to even get into the business, let alone take over the business. He had this vision to make one global brand."

His story deserves to be told. There's a balance there because every successful person has character traits that are interesting. There's lots of fun along the way, and I can't wait to see what comes out." H/t Fightful

More details on the Vince McMahon Netflix documentary should be out soon, and we'll keep you updated regarding the same.
