#4. Did Seth Rollins tease a new Shield at a recent live event?
Monday Night RAW star Seth Rollins surprised fans at a recent live event by striking the iconic pose of The Shield with The Miz and Austin Theory. This happened during a six-man tag team match where Rollins teamed up with The Miz and Theory to take on Kevin Owens, Bobby Lashley, and Dolph Ziggler.
It's interesting to note that next month marks the 10th anniversary of The Shield's debut at Survivor Series 2012. Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Dean Ambrose took the WWE Universe by storm, destroying huge names and legends like John Cena, The Rock, and The Undertaker. 10 years later, The Shield is still one of the biggest names in all of pro-wrestling currently.
#3. WWE veteran reveals a crazy story about Brock Lesnar breaking his nose
It seems Brock Lesnar broke WWE executive Bruce Prichard's nose while filming a backstage segment. On his Something to Wrestle podcast, Prichard shared how Lesnar kicked a wall into his face, breaking his nose in three places.
“Brock Lesnar kicked a wall into my face. We were in Nova Scotia. We finished up a shoot and the folks that had constructed the wall, hadn’t constructed it very well and were in the process of trying to get Brock out of this room that had started to collapse and Brock didn’t feel like waiting. He started moving walls on his own. When he did, that said wall came crashing into my face. Broke my nose in three places, shattered my orbital.”
Prichard further revealed that Brock Lesnar sent him an apology note after the accident along with crab and lobster.
The Beast Incarnate has been on a hiatus from WWE since SummerSlam 2022. Recent rumors suggest that he could return this month to set up a match at Crown Jewel 2022.
