#5 Brock Lesnar accused of 'exposing' himself by former WWE Diva

Brock Lesnar

Former WWE Diva Terri Runnels was recently a guest on the KEE On Sports Podcast and talked about an incident that had taken place involving Brock Lesnar among other topics such as her experiences in WWE, when she first joined and more.

Terri Runnels is most well-known for her role as the manager of her former husband - Goldust. She has managed multiple Superstars in WWE and has even won the Hardcore Championship in the past.

Here is what Terri Runnels had to say about Brock Lesnar's misconduct:

Brock did something that if it was in today's day and time...You know. He showed his p**** to me and called my name as I was walking past where he was in the dressing room and opened his towel so I could see his manly bits. I would have much rather him not be so disrespectful of a female that's been in this business for as long as I have been. He knew he was gonna have a lot of power, that they were gonna give him the strap but at that point, I'd been in this business a long time. I have respect and what he did was very very wrong. From a respect standpoint, from a sexual harassment standpoint, it was wrong." (h/t sportbible.com)

Brock Lesnar was last seen at WrestleMania 36 where he lost his WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre.

#4 WWE's Bray Wyatt takes a shot at The Young Bucks

The Young Bucks recently posted a picture of their newest merchandise on Twitter. Their new t-shirt has a pair of hands folded in prayer with the caption 'Christian AF'. This term was coined by Matt Jackson in an episode of Being The Elite. However, former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt has called out The Young Bucks for gimmick infringement after seeing this new merchandise.

The Fiend commented on their Tweet saying: Hey! Praying hands is my gimmick

It will be interesting to see how Matt or Nick Jackson reply to the comments of Bray Wyatt and if there is another Twitter spat between WWE and AEW Superstars waiting for us.

Bray Wyatt recently returned on SmackDown after a sabbatical and went after his old friend turned foe Braun Strowman. In an interesting twist, Bray Wyatt brought back his 'cult leader' persona from the early days of the Wyatt Family instead of returning as The Fiend.

Bray Wyatt surely is the master of mind games, and he is playing them not just with WWE Superstars but AEW Stars as well.

#3 Many WWE Superstars tested positive for Coronavirus

Man. What a few days. My show gets cancelled and I get Covid. Wear your masks and wash your hands. Stay safe, everyone ❤️

— Renee Young (@ReneeYoungWWE) June 25, 2020

It had been reported that WWE had conducted large scale testing after a COVID-19 case was reported at the Performance Center. Unfortunately, with the test results out, it is being rumored that multiple personnel including in-ring talent have been tested positive for the virus.

Popular SmackDown announcer Renee Young has informed everyone via Twitter that she has tested positive for COVID-19.

As per FIghtful's SRS, friends and family will no longer be allowed for the upcoming tapings of RAW and SmackDown.

Friends and family will not be permitted at this week's WWE tapings, per the request of WWE medical. They had been asked to remain isolated ahead of tapings and were to be tested again.

PWInsider have stated that source has revealed to them that the number of cases could be in the range of dozens. Even so, WWE are not halting their tapings and there might be double tapings for RAW and SmackDown this week.

Here is what Tom Colohue had to say:

I've been told almost everyone who worked the tapings last week were already at the Performance Center when they received their test results for COVID-19. With this in mind, once the #WWE received the first positive result, I am stunned they didn't shut down the taping.

#2 Vince McMahon has lost interest in WWE Superstar Shayna Baszler

WWE Superstar Shayna Baszler made a massive impact in NXT where she was booked as the Brock Lesnar equivalent of the female roster. Unfortunately for her, even though her main roster debut was impactful, she has been absent from television for a long time.

It had been reported that Vince McMahon was quite high on Shayna Baszler but it looks like that interest has petered out now. Here is what Cagesideseats have reported:

There’s talk that Vince McMahon soured on Shayna Baszler and she isn’t getting the push that was previously planned for her.

Shayna Baszler is a former NXT Women's Champion and faced Becky Lynch for the RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania 36. The Cagefighter has not been seen since The Grandest Stage of them All and it is surprising that WWE isn't using her despite the absence of Becky Lynch on RAW.

Will Vince McMahon decide to push Shayna Baszler returns on Monday Night RAW or is her push forever gone? Only time will tell!

#1 Reason why Rey Mysterio's son will not go to WWE NXT

Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik have been involved in an ongoing program with Seth Rollins and his disciples on WWE RAW. The Monday Night Messiah gravely injured Mysterio's eye on an episode of RAW and we saw Dominik come out last week to exact revenge.

It is clear by now that WWE is trying to mould Dominik into a future WWE Superstar, but unlike most rookies who start in NXT, Dominik will be allowed to bypass that route.

Here is what Tom Colohue has reported:

Well, my initial report was August 23rd 2019 as to Dominik Mysterio skipping NXT. To my knowledge, it was part of a conversation topic with Rey Mysterio. I don't know if it was part of his contract negotiation when he first signed up, but I do know it was wasn't long before we started to see Dominik appear on TV right after Rey signed.

Is Rey Mysterio responsible for Dominik's fast-tracked push?

To my knowledge, there were discussions at that time, and it is something of a favour to Rey to make sure Rey signed onto WWE, and because they do believe Dominik Mysterio would be that good.
