#5. Dominik Mysterio loses the Intercontinental Championship on WWE RAW

Last year, Dominik Mysterio became a two-time Intercontinental Champion when he defeated John Cena in San Diego. After being absent for several weeks, Dirty Dom returned to competition last month. Ahead of his title defense, The Judgment Day crossed paths with Danhausen.

The newly debuted star cursed the champion, which might’ve ultimately caused his downfall. In the final moments of the match, Finn Balor prevented JD McDonagh from helping Mysterio against Penta. This led to Dominik Mysterio losing his title weeks before WrestleMania 42 in Nevada.

#4. Backstage reaction to Danhausen’s debut at WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 – Reports

Last month, a mystery box appeared on Monday Night RAW. After weeks of build-up, Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis opened the crate in front of the audience in Chicago. The reveal, Danhausen, was a letdown for many, as the company overhyped the box for weeks.

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (WON), the situation was internally noted as a ‘Gobbledy Gooker’ situation. The insider noted there was a production issue when Hausen debuted in Illinois, but the eventual reveal didn’t live up to the hype.

#3. Bad news for WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill; Rhea Ripley confirms backstage issue

After Elimination Chamber in Chicago, Jade Cargill and Rhea Ripley started an online feud on X. While it seemed like a kayfabe argument, things took a massive turn when Cargill made claims that Ripley spends hours with the creative team and took multiple shots at her.

The issue went beyond the two stars as Chelsea Green and Piper Niven reacted in Mami’s defense and ended up in another argument with The Storm. As more superstars got involved, many began to conclude that this was still in kayfabe and could be covered on WWE Unreal.

Later, Rhea Ripley went on Instagram and made a shocking statement. The 29-year-old star claimed that none of this was kayfabe, as she’s not friends with Jade Cargill, and Cargill crossed a line by lying. It’s bad news for The Storm for going out of her way and taking personal shots at her co-worker.

#2. Three WWE names discussed for Gunther at WrestleMania 42 – Reports

WrestleMania 42 is less than two months away, and the management has yet to finalize an opponent for Gunther in Nevada. According to a Q & A from Fightful, Rey Mysterio could face The Career Killer, as he’s currently in a feud with Dragon Lee on Monday Night RAW.

Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar were also suggested as potential opponents, as neither of them has any concrete storyline heading into The Showcase of the Immortals in Las Vegas. It’ll be interesting to see which star the two-time World Heavyweight Champion will face at WrestleMania 42.

#1. RHIYO officially confirms split on WWE RAW

Last year, Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY formed a team on Monday Night RAW when Ripley assisted SKY against The Kabuki Warriors. The two won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship in January and lost the titles to The Irresistible Forces on Friday Night SmackDown.

Later, Mami won the Women’s Elimination Chamber match and punched her ticket to a title match at WrestleMania 42. On the latest edition of Monday Night RAW, the 29-year-old confirmed she’s going to SmackDown for a face-off against Jade Cargill.

The segment also officially confirmed that RHIYO is done as a team on the red brand, and Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY will have their own storylines to focus on heading into WrestleMania 42. It’ll be interesting to see what’s next for The Genius of the SKY.
