#5. R-Truth issues a public apology

R-Truth is one of the most hilarious stars in the WWE and it is not a surprise to see why that would be the case. He is popular among the fans in a huge way as they genuinely like him. On SmackDown, Truth and his tag team partner Damian Priest put their titles on the line in a triple threat tag team match against the Viking Raiders and MFT.

Sadly for R-Truth, he ended up being pinned by Tama Tonga, thereby losing the WWE tag team titles. After the match, he took to social media to issue an apology to the fans and also to his tag team partner. Posting a couple of pictures of the both of them, he wrote:

“I’m sorry to the @WWE Universe and I’m sorry to my dawg. @ArcherOfInfamy.”

The fans will hope that this is not the last we see of the pair of Priest and R-Truth and that they continue being a tag team.

#4. WWE makes Brock Lesnar change

Brock Lesnar ended his wrestling career at WWE SummerSlam in a grand way. The Beast took on Oba Femi inside Hell in a Cell and put up a great fight. But the Ruler had other ideas and ended up pinning Lesnar and winning the match. The former UFC World Champion then issued a public endorsement of the Nigerian and rode off into the sunset.

Last week, some eagle eyed fans spotted a subtle change that WWE made to Brock Lesnar’s status. During the intro to the show, they noticed that the Beast was moved to the ‘forever’ section, thereby implying that his in-ring career is settled once and for all.

#3. Roman Reigns warned by Penta

WWE World Champion Roman Reigns is a wanted man as he is moving around with a chip on his shoulder, thanks to the World Championship. Right now, there is a tournament taking place amongst the luchadores to determine who will challenge the OTC for his title next month in Mexico City.

Penta won the first round match against Laredo Kid and progressed further into the tournament. He showed up on AAA to send out a warning to Roman and the Bloodline. He said:

“You have never faced a wrestler like Penta, you’ve never been in front of a man like Penta, a man who has fought for everything, even his life, to gain everything I’ve gained in my career. Roman, I’ve never need a family or a faction or a group to accomplish my objectives. Penta has fought for himself and for all his people, that is Penta. I respect you as a wrestler, but when I win this tournament, I’m going straight to Mexico City, I’m gonna see you face to face and show you who is Penta.”

#2. Nick Aldis makes huge announcement on Cody Rhodes

Cody Rhodes was attacked by a returning Randy Orton at WWE SummerSlam. The Viper hit his former friend with an RKO and thereby helped CM Punk to get the win. Since then, Cody has been adamant that he wants to get his hands on Randy.

WWE SmackDown general Nick Aldis has answered his prayers and has now booked the two stars in a match at next month’s Saturday Night Main Event. Posting a video on Instagram, he said:

“Good afternoon everyone, it’s your SmackDown GM Nick Aldis. Happy Saturday following a Friday last night on SmackDown filled with emotion, with passion, and intensity, but as far as Cody Rhodes is concerned, there’s only one thing on his mind, and that’s revenge. I am here today to tell you that I have made it happen: Sunday, September 6th, Sunday Night’s Main Event, State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Cody Rhodes gets his chance at revenge when he goes one-on-one with Randy Orton.”

#1. Raquel Rodriguez is battling a rare medical condition

Raquel Rodriguez has been suffering from a rare medical condition known as Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. It got worse and worse for the star, so much so that it became hard for her to wrestle.

She was a guest on Busted Open Radio when she shed light on her condition and explained what really happens when it flares up. The WWE women’s intercontinental champion said:

“You know what’s funny is I’ve really learned to live with it this past year because it’s not like it’s fully gone away. You know, I can talk right now. I have a couple of spots, um, a couple of rashes that pop up because of obvious reasons. You know, it’s my immune system that’s being attacked. It’s my histamine system. So, when I’m stressed or I’m not eating right or I’m not getting enough sleep or I’m not in my natural environment, my skin tends to show me, you know, ‘Hey, you need to bring it back. You need to calm down and you need to relax.’”

She will be hoping to fully recover from the condition and focus on her in ring career in the WWE.
