#5 Chris Jericho is still in talks with Vince McMahon of WWE

Chris Jericho recently revealed that he still talks to WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. Even though Chris Jericho is one of the biggest AEW Superstar as well as the first AEW World Champion, he has no bitter feelings for Vince McMahon.

Chris Jericho has stated previously that he is never going to leave AEW. He will start commentary instead of leaving even if his in-ring career comes to an end. Jericho revealed that while he does talk to some Superstars, he is not in touch with anyone on a day to day basis.

''I also talk to Vince [McMahon] from time to time. But do I talk to WWE guys on a daily basis? Definitely not, we’re all busy people, on different planes, flying to different parts of the world. I still have much respect and love for all of them there.”

Chris Jericho recently lost his match against Orange Cassidy at AEW All Out. He stated on Dynamite that he and Jake Hager will now focus on their tag team careers.

Chris Jericho was one of the biggest WWE Superstar and hopefully he will be honored and put into the Hall of Fame despite being an AEW Superstar.

#4 Former Tag Team Champion Ivar to return to WWE after one year

Ivar of the Viking Raiders suffered an injury last week on RAW. The WWE Superstar is having neck surgery in Birmingham, Alabama today. Dave Meltzer of WOR noted that such injuries usually take a year to heal completely; suggesting that Ivar can be expected back only after a year or so.

Here is what Dave Meltzer stated on WOR:

''Yeah, that's a bad deal because usually, neck surgery means about a year out. It could be long or even longer. So, it impacts him greatly. It impacts Raymond Rowe a lot too because as you've seen, usually when they have a tag team and one of the guys gets out and is injured, sometimes they'll send the guy home and wait for the other guy to come back, which in this case is a year, or they will just job the other guy out.'' (H/t: SportsKeeda)

With Ivar out of action for another year, it will have to be seen if WWE continue using his tag team partner Erik or if they bench him as well. Erik could still be used for RAW Underground instead of not being used because of his partner.

#3 How John Cena unknowingly prevented Arn Anderson from helping Sting in WWE

Arn Anderson recently talked about the Sting injury during WWE Night of Champions 2015 and why the match wasn't stopped by him. Arn Anderson revealed that he did not even realise that Sting was legitimately hurt during his match against Seth Rollins.

Anderson also admitted that he wasn't watching the match as closely as he should have since he was busy talking to WWE Superstar John Cena at the time:

''I think I must have been talking to Cena backstage. Sorry to say, I probably wasn't watching the match as close as I should have, but I would have been talking to John about it probably at that point, because it wouldn't have been that much longer since their fast match finished."

Arn Anderson revealed that the it was only after the match was over and the referee signalled that Sting was hurt did he realise that it wasn't Sting selling a neck injury but was actually injured. He stated that he was unable to reach Sting when he was brought back because of all the medical staff around him.

#2 Aalyah Mysterio's future plans in WWE

The Mysterio family has been on a roll as of late in WWE. Not only has Rey Mysterio's son Dominik impressed everyone with his in-ring prowess, but his daughter Aalyah has also caught the eye of the top brass.

This week on WWE RAW, Aalyah Mysterio showed signs of sympathy towards Murphy after he was beaten up by Seth Rollins. The moment between Aalyah and Murphy has led to speculation of a romantic angle between the two in the coming weeks. While discussing about the possibilities, Dave Meltzer noted that it is likely that Aalyah Mysterio will get hooked up with Murphy and maybe even Seth Rollins.

I guess it's the idea that, well, we can see what it is. Somehow Aalyah is getting hooked up with Murphy. That's the end result of all this. She is getting hooked up with Murphy.

Alvarez said that he thinks she will get hooked up with Rollins to which Meltzer replied:

She may end up with Seth because Murphy may never leave Seth, no matter what, so yeah, that's possible!

#1 Update on Mickie James after abrupt finish on WWE RAW

This week on Monday Night RAW we saw a very abrupt end to the Mickie James vs Asuka match. It was later reported by WWE legend Mick Foley that the reason behind the match being finished fast was because of Mickie James getting injured.

6-time Champion Mickie James faced the current Champion Asuka for the RAW Women's Championship. During the match, the official called for the bell while James was locked in a submission hold even though she had not taped out.

WWE came out with an official statement a few hours later to clear up the confusion.

"Realizing that this could be her last chance at a championship, Mickie James left it all in the ring against The Empress of Tomorrow. But although Mickie James was ready for Asuka, Asuka was also ready for her. The Raw Women's Champion locked on the Asuka Lock, and despite James' best efforts to fight out, the referee ruled her unable to continue and awarded the match to Asuka."
