#5 WWE Superstar Big E to move to RAW from SmackDown

I’ve heard from a few sources an idea making the rounds - Big E moving from SD to RAW in the post SummerSlam draft while still be pushed as a singles. In essence, New Day back together without necessary being a team. If so, E would become a fresh face for the RAW main event scene

— WrestleVotes (@WrestleVotes) June 23, 2021

Big E was set to become the breakout star on SmackDown after his split from The New Day last year. Though he did reign with the Intercontinental Championship and has featured prominently on the blue brand, he still hasn't become a main event player.

There have been reports saying that WWE will be holding the draft this year in August. One of the names who is likely to switch brands is Big E. The powerhouse performer is set to reunite with his New Day brothers, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. However, he will continue to get a singles push as per WrestleVotes:

"I’ve heard from a few sources an idea making the rounds - Big E moving from SD to RAW in the post SummerSlam draft while still be pushed as a singles. In essence, New Day back together without necessary being a team. If so, E would become a fresh face for the RAW main event scene."

Big E is talented not just inside the ring but is one of the most interesting characters in WWE today. With Roman Reigns dominating the main event scene on SmackDown, it would be a good idea to get Big E on RAW so he can get more exposure.

#4 Bill Apter says Jimmy Uso might turn on WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns

Veteran journalist Bill Apter recently spoke to WrestlingInc and spoke about WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Reigns' adviser Paul Heyman has issued an open challenge to all SmackDown superstars for this week's SmackDown.

Special Counsel for The Tribal Chief made it known on Talking Smack that Reigns is now looking for new challengers.

Bill Apter said that it will be one of The Usos brothers who will answer this open challenge. He said that even though he doesn't have any inside information, it will most likely be Jimmy Uso who will turn on Roman Reigns. Apter speculated:

“The open challenge for Roman Reigns is going to be one of The Usos. I don’t know it for a fact. Everybody’s going, ‘He knows. They tell him everything.’ No, I don’t know. It’s going to be an Uso. It’s going to be Jimmy. I was waiting for Jimmy to pull that behind the back attack, and it just wasn’t the right moment. It’s gonna be Jimmy.”

Though Jimmy Uso accepted Roman Reigns as his Tribal Chief on WWE Smackdown last week, he may be planning a major swerve.

#3 Edge's planned opponent for WWE SummerSlam

It has been reported that former WWE Champion Edge will be making his return to SmackDown in September this year. The Rater R Superstar has not been seen since he lost the triple threat match featuring Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 37.

WrestleVotes has now claimed that Edge is likely to face another former WWE champion Seth Rollins at this year's SummerSlam event.

They stated that apart from the marquee match between Roman Reigns and John Cena, Edge has been penciled for a big match against former Universal Champion Seth Rollins at the show as well. WrestleVotes speculates:

"Along w/ Roman Reigns vs John Cena for SummerSlam, WWE is planning on stacking the SmackDown side with another major matchup. Source says idea as of now is for a Seth Rollins vs Edge first time ever match."

'The Messiah' Seth Rollins has been involved in a rivalry with Cesaro for months. After losing to The Swiss Superman on multiple occasions, Rollins finally got a win against him at Hell in a Cell.

#2 WWE NXT Superstar Toni Storm comes out as bisexual

Former WWE NXT UK Women's Champion Toni Storm has revealed that she is bisexual in a heartfelt Instagram post. Storm revealed that she isn't straight and that coming out as bisexual feels good:

''I’m an ally and I cannot exactly say that I’m straight. I’m bi and it feels good to say. It’s something that I’ve been really comfortable with for a long time. I just never really expressed it, I don’t know. I just never really found the right time and it’s Pride Month and I’m on your Instagram so now’s a good time I guess."

Toni Storm is currently dating former WWE Superstar and current NJPW/Impact superstar Juice Robinson. Apart from Toni Storm, other notable women in WWE have stated that they are not straight, including Sonya Deville, Shayna Baszler, Tegan Nox and Mercedez Martinez.

The former NXT UK sensation has now become a prominent part of NXT. However, she has not yet won the NXT Women's Championship despite challenging it a few times.

#1 WWE Superstar Rey Mysterio not interested in facing his son

WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champion Rey Mysterio fought of a lifetime against Roman Reigns inside Hell in a Cell last week on SmackDown. The match came about after Reigns brutally attacked Mysterio's son and tag team partner Dominik Mysterio.

There have been many rumors regarding a possible father-son match between the Mysterios down the road. Speaking to Metro, Rey Mysterio quashed these rumors and said that he isn't interested in facing his son Dominik Mysterio:

"We’re enjoying such a great moment right now within our personal lives, within our wrestling careers. For me, it’s a complete blessing, before I end up retiring – to have been able to share these moments with my son. So that thought of possibly facing each other, I think was thrown down the trash a while back."

The former WWE Champion admitted that his son Dominik and he had talked about a possible match when he started training for a career in WWE. However, they have abandoned the idea now.
