#4 Dominik Mysterio worried about Rhea Ripley's reaction to his loss

Rhea Ripley was not by Dominik Mysterio's side when he lost the NXT North American Championship at No Mercy. So, it remains to be seen if there will be any repercussions for Rey Mysterio's son.

Interestingly, WWE cameras caught up with the Judgment Day member backstage after his loss to Trick Williams. A frustrated Dominik seemed worried — in kayfabe — about Ripley's potential response to the huge setback. Not long after the video was posted online, the latter reacted with an angry face emoji.

#3 Becky Lynch required multiple stitches after her latest WWE match

Although Becky Lynch survived the Extreme Rules stipulation to defeat Tiffany Stratton, she did sustain a laceration to her arm at NXT No Mercy.

According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, The Man needed 11 stitches to close the wound. It was also noted that "she looks to be okay."

Lynch addressed the match through an Instagram post with the following caption:

"NbeXT was rocking tonight. The Man brought @tiffanywwe to the main event but she brought it to The Man. Respect. It wasn’t Tiffy time this time. But it will be again. The world tour continues. Stitches and all - last slide is my arm 🤢 Shout out to @iamhuntley for drawing this shirt. @kingtroi for being a legend. #NoMercy"

The post had multiple photos, including one that displayed her injury, as Lynch stated above. You can check it out here.

#2 Was there real-life heat between Ken Anderson and Bob Holly?

During a recent appearance on the Cafe de Rene podcast, Ken Anderson (Mr. Kennedy) spoke about his relationship with former WWE star Bob Holly (Hardcore Holly).

Anderson noted that the two were close friends at one point:

"[Did you guys patch things up?] We did. The thing was like before all that occurred, we were pretty close, like, we rode together. There was a period of time where it was like me, him [Bob Holly], and Randy [Orton] that were riding every week. Santino [Marella] and Cody Rhodes would sometimes jump in that car, too."

Anderson also mentioned Holly's WWE release and how that played a role in the real-life heat between them:

"But then that whole thing kinda went down. For whatever reason, he thought for a long time that I had something to do with him getting fired, which I didn't. I went out of my way to keep locker room stuff in the locker room."

Anderson and Holly have buried the hatchet since those days. They had a positive interaction with each other at an event a few years ago:

"I ran into him maybe two or three years ago at a show. We kissed and hugged [and] had a little cry together," said Ken Anderson.

#1 WWE RAW star saves Cody Rhodes

On Saturday, many WWE Superstars wrestled at an untelevised event in San Fransisco, California. Among the scheduled matches, Cody Rhodes took on Judgment Day member Damian Priest in a Street Fight.

At one stage, the odds were stacked against Rhodes as JD McDonagh came out to help Priest. However, The American Nightmare had backup as well.

Jey Uso made an appearance to assist Rhodes, as you can see below:

Cody Rhodes defeated Damian Priest, as expected. It should be interesting to see what's next for The Judgment Day on WWE RAW, especially after Dominik Mysterio's title loss at No Mercy.
