Sheamus was in action at WWE's recently concluded premium live event. The veteran took on Ludwig Kaiser and Bron Breakker in a Triple Threat Match for the Intercontinental Championship.

#1. WWE Superstar Raquel Rodriguez contemplated retirement during her hiatus

Raquel Rodriguez went through one of the toughest phases of her life earlier this year as she suffered multiple health issues and was on the shelf for seven months. In a recent interview on The Takedown on SI, Big Mami Cool noted that she thought about retirement and its aftermath during her battle with mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS).

"This has been my dream, and now, it's just gone. What do I do? What's next? And I think that's the hard part for a lot of us. That we struggle with what's next, and I had to think about it for almost a year; just keep that in mind. I was like, 'Okay, I'm not going to tell myself that it's completely over because I feel like I can get over this, and I can get through this, but I do need to have an idea of what I am going to do if this doesn't work out,''' she said.

Rodriguez returned to action at Bad Blood, where she helped Liv Morgan retain the Women's World Championship against Rhea Ripley via DQ. The 33-year-old was also in action in the recent Women's WarGames Match, which her team lost.
