#4 Ricochet’s girlfriend sends a warning to Maria Kanellis

Earlier this week, WWE Superstar Mike Kanellis saw one of the best moments of his life turn into a nightmare when his wife Maria announced that Ricochet is the father of her baby. An agitated Mike tried to fight Ricochet inside the ring but could not beat his opponent. That’s when Maria announced that she made up all the stuff about Ricochet in order to motivate Mike so that he fights to save the dignity of his wife and their unborn child.

However, this sneaky move backfired at Maria who received a threat from Ricochet’s girlfriend and NXT Superstar, Kacy Catanzaro. She took to Twitter and fired a warning at Maria saying that if she mentions her man again, she will have to come to the main roster to take care of it herself.

This could be a way to bring Kacy on the main roster. But irrespective of WWE’s intentions behind naming Ricochet as the dad of Maria’s unborn child, it was hilarious to see the entire segment unfold. Not to mention, it also aided in announcing the return of Rusev.


#3 WWE Commentators banned from naming Chris Jericho?

Guess not everyone is up for 'a little bit of the Bubbly!'

Unsurprisingly, you may not hear WWE legend and former Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho’s name being mentioned during the commentary. He is now signed with AEW and as per the reports, WWE commentators have been instructed not to mention Y2J.

Jericho took the IC title to new altars which explains why he is always mentioned whenever the Intercontinental title is in picture. However, this Sunday we did not see the commentators referring to Jericho during Miz vs Shinsuke Nakamura.

Following Clash of Champions, Dave Meltzer of WON stated

"The one thing I thought was funny was when I mean not funny but because it was expected is, they were pushing that if Miz won that he would tie the record for most Intercontinental Championships of all time but they could not say Chris Jericho holds the record. It’s kind of like (if you can’t say it why bother saying it), especially the key why since he didn’t win. Like if he won, if he was going to win you can say that but the fact that he isn’t going to win and you can’t say Chris Jericho’s name why bring it up? It doesn’t even make any sense to bring it up."
