Welcome to the latest edition of the WWE Rumor Roundup, where we take a look at the top WWE stories. These are the latest and the juiciest WWE reports this week

There are some interesting backstage stories from Sportskeeda's exclusive chat with JBL, while there is an exciting update regarding a returning Superstar. We will discuss all of that and more after we get past the biggest headline of the day.

Alexa Bliss breaks character and talks about WWE Chairman, Vince McMahon

Detractors have criticized WWE for not taking care of its Superstars. The criticism reached an all-time high when the company released several wrestlers during the pandemic and asked the current Superstars to stop all third party activities last month.

Alexa Bliss, however, has come to WWE's defenses. She noted that when she got injured that Vince McMahon sent her to the country's best specialists to get her checked. During her appearance on Alison Rosen's "Is Your New Best Friend Podcast" she said:

"WWE takes care of us 100%, we all are in a contract, and anything that happens inside the ring, WWE takes care of. Our health is 100% priority; our health and safety is 100% priority in the company. Unfortunately, we're living in the middle of a cancel culture, where people try to start rumors, and make their assumptions of things. There has never been a time where I've ever felt uncomfortable about being in the ring, or ever felt forced about being in the ring. Even when I was injured, I had concussions, and Vince said 'Alright, well we're going to send you to the best specialists there are', and he did, and I saw a concussion specialist, and they went above and beyond to take care of me. I know everyone feels that way."

Alexa Bliss suffered from a concussion during her rivalry with Ronda Rousey. That kept her out of action for months, but she is back in the ring now.

Mandy Rose suffers injury after Nia Jax spot on WWE RAW

Mandy Rose seemed to have suffered an injury on Monday Night RAW this week. Unfortunately, Nia Jax was involved in this, as well. The WWE women's tag team champions were clearing out the ring when Jax threw Rose.

While The Golden Goddess was exiting the ring, she seemingly got caught in the ropes, causing a bad landing. Rose was holding her shoulder after she landed on the apron, and a referee rushed to check on her.

Neither WWE nor Mandy Rose have provided an update on her condition. She is still a part of the WWE RAW Women's team for the traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series match. Rose will team up with Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Lana, and Dana Brooke to take on the SmackDown Women's team on Nov. 22 at Survivor Series.

As of this writing, there are no indications that the injury is kayfabe. However, WWE hasn't provided an update on the extent of the injury. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for more updates on Mandy Rose.

WWE could bring back No Way Jose

WWE has applied for a trademark for The Way. It's unclear why the company got it. Fightful finally has an update on this and reported that No Way Jose will return to WWE.

They note that WWE filed the trademark for the returning Superstar. No Way Jose has been wrestling on the independents under the name Levy Valdez since WWE released him back in April.

No Way Jose was among the several Superstars the company parted ways with as a part of their cost-cutting measures. The former WWE NXT star wasn't utilized to his best capabilities on the main roster where he mostly lost as a midcarder.

Since he has been eyeing a WWE return, and his wish may have come true. Hopefully, he gets a new gimmick and a new direction when he comes back.

However, we shouldn't rule out a return to NXT either. Finn Balor and Ember Moon were a big part of the main roster but are now back on the black and gold brand, and a similar move is possible for No Way Jose.

JBL reacts to Ronda Rousey calling WWE a fake sport

JBL appeared on Sportskeeda's UnSKripted with Dr. Chris Featherstone on Tuesday night where spoke a lot about WWE. Featherstone asked the Hall Of Famer about the backstage reaction to Ronda Rousey calling WWE a fake sport.

The former WWE Champion claims that talk backstage surrounding her are still positive, and she hit a goldmine of heat from the WWE Universe with those comments. He said:

"She [Ronda Rousey] was the hottest thing about six months ago with all that tension she got on herself. I don't know if she did that on purpose or not, where she called 'fake' wrestling. But she sure got a lot of heat off of it. I mean, if she didn't [do it on purpose], she hit a goldmine. If she did [do it on purpose], she's really smart. And she may be, I don't know her. I don't know either way. People say good things about her in the WWE that I've talked to."

Rousey's comments about WWE from the Wild Ride! with Steve-O podcast generated a lot of heat. She also posted a tweet later that sparked rumors of her potential comeback.

It's been six months, and a return is still not on the cards.

WWE's backstage atmosphere after Eddie Guerrero's death

Eddie Guerrero's death stunned the WWE Universe and Superstars alike. His sudden death sent shockwaves throughout the world. The fact that it happened hours before a show made the experience even worse for the Superstars working that day.

In reference to that dark day in 2005, JBL told Sportskeeda's UnSKripted with Dr. Chris Featherstone:

"We were in Minnesota. I remember walking in and I saw Rey Mysterio crying over by where we had makeup, sometimes we had the makeup area when you walk in, and I knew something was wrong. I never dreamed it was Eddie, just happened. He was clean, he was sober, his heart just gave out on him for some reason."

The WWE Hall of Famer spoke about his experience with Eddie Guerrero and heaped praise on the WWE legend:

"Eddie was awesome. He was an awesome human being. I got the privilege of doing a part of his eulogy, which unfortunately was a privilege, I wish he was still around. He was a groomsman at my wedding also, Eddie was a good friend of mine and just the salt of the earth. Eddie was such a good dude."

Eddie Guerrero passed away in November 2005. He was found dead in his hotel room.
