#5. Becky Lynch believes a current WWE champion will lose their job in 2026

Since dropping the Women’s Intercontinental Championship to Maxxine Dupri, Becky Lynch has been going off on social media. She has taken multiple shots at Dupri, RAW GM Adam Pearce, referee Jessika Carr, and AJ Lee.

On the latest edition of RAW, The Man confronted Maxxine Dupri, saying that the gold belonged to her. A brawl broke out between the two, which ended with Lynch tapping out to Dupri’s ankle lock. Later, their rematch was made official for the January 5, 2026, edition of RAW.

After the show, Big Time Becks took to X/Twitter to send a message to her opponent, writing that the latter was making a big mistake by agreeing to go toe-to-toe with her. The Man also asked Dupri to get her “cheerleader job back” as she believes The Alpha Academy member will lose her job in WWE.

“YOU ASKED FOR THIS, MAXXINE! I tried to do this the EASY/LEGAL way!!! You want to go toe to toe with THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME?!? BIG MISTAKE!!! You might want to ask for your cheerleader job back or reopen up the modeling agency because after January 5th, you’ll be OUT OF A JOB! @WWE,” she wrote.

#4. The Judgment Day’s Roxanne Perez wants to team up with a non-wrestling icon

In a recent interview with Metro, Roxanne Perez talked about Hollywood icon Jenna Ortega. The Judgment Day star praised Ortega’s work in movies, saying that she believes the star has been killing it in films.

Perez added that she wanted to form a tag team with Jenna Ortega.

“Just everything that she does, how young she is, she’s Latina. She’s killing it out there in the movie scene. I would love to tag with her!”

#3. Kevin Owens’ wife shared an update on him

Kevin Owens has been out of in-ring competition due to a neck injury. He was supposed to wrestle Randy Orton at this year’s WrestleMania, but due to his neck issues, he had to undergo surgery.

The Prizefighter’s wife, Karina Lamer, recently took to her Instagram Stories to upload a photo of KO. In the picture, the former WWE Universal Champion was looking healthy and happy.

It will be interesting to see when Kevin Owens will return to the Stamford-based promotion’s weekly programming.

#2. WWE veteran Bruce Prichard talked about rumors of his falling out with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon

During a recent interview on Something to Wrestle, Conrad Thompson asked WWE veteran Bruce Prichard if there was any truth in the rumors that suggested he had a falling out with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.

“The perception online was that you had a falling out with them and maybe needed to mend fences,” Thompson said. “Is that real, or is it just rumor and innuendo?”

Prichard immediately debunked these rumors, but also highlighted that sometimes “feelings and emotions” get the better of him in the heat of the moment, especially when he is working with Stephanie McMahon.

“Tremendous. And with Steph, when you’re in the moment, you have feelings and emotions. You’re angry, you’re upset, until you look in the mirror and go, ‘Okay, I could have done better. I could have done things differently.’”

#1. WWE reportedly won’t let Jerry Lawler have another match

During a recent interview on WMC-TV, WWE legend Jerry Lawler claimed that even at 76, he believed he had one more match left in him before his in-ring retirement.

“I have not put it out of my mind. We have one more match in there somewhere,” he said.

Now, according to the latest report by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, a source within the Stamford-based promotion has confirmed that the company won’t let Jerry Lawler step inside the squared circle once again due to his health.
