Welcome back to the latest edition of the daily roundup at Sportskeeda, where we gather the top stories from in and around WWE.
It's a new era under Triple H in which not only existing talents thrive, but many former stars have also returned to prove themselves in a company that no longer has Vince McMahon.
A WWE legend confirmed he was considering returning for another match or two after getting inspired by many veterans who are still active.
Uncle Howdy's return to TV also seems imminent. However, the masked man might not be alone as a former champion is open to accompanying him in the storyline.
The roundup also features Logan Paul's reaction to Ronda Rousey's recent comments about the United States Champion.
#4. Booker T is training for an in-ring return
He might be prominent these days for his commentary work in NXT, but Booker T is one of the busiest men in the business. During the latest episode of his podcast, Booker T confirmed he was working towards returning to the squared circle.
The former champion was a surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble 2023 match. Apart from his surprise Rumble appearance, Booker has wrestled in his Reality of Wrestling (ROW) promotion, and he intends to wrestle another match there.
While speaking on the Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T admitted it was hard to completely walk away from pro wrestling. He named Chris Jericho, The Hardy Boyz, and even The Rock and The Undertaker, who had a big moment at WrestleMania 40 while citing the people who have inspired him to lace up his wrestling boots again.
Booker is confident he still has it in him. He revealed he regularly hits the gym and was on a 30-day ab workout regime.
It would be interesting to see whether he wrestles for WWE, but the 59-year-old looks serious about competing in the company he established.
#3. Matt Hardy is open to joining the Uncle Howdy storyline
Following the teasers dropped by WWE, Bo Dallas is seemingly expected to reprise his role as Uncle Howdy and continue Bray Wyatt's legacy in wrestling.
Before Windham Rotunda's passing, speculation stated that the former Universal Champion was planning on introducing a new faction, with "Wyatt 6" being heavily rumored to be the group's name.
Uncle Howdy could show up with a few familiar faces, including Matt Hardy.
The former AEW star revealed on his The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy that he would be ready to get involved in the Uncle Howdy angle and talked about why he always jumped on the opportunity to portray the Broken gimmick.
Matt Hardy returned at TNA Rebellion but is still a free agent, allowing him to potentially still appear in World Wrestling Entertainment and be an influential force in Uncle Howdy's run.
#3. Another Vince McMahon rule is history under Triple H's creative direction in WWE
In case it wasn't evident already, Triple H is the undisputed creative leader of the WWE, and the message has been underlined multiple times since WrestleMania 40.
With The Game in charge, several rules have gradually been discontinued as the production and presentation are also vastly different from the Vince McMahon regime.
Luke Gallows revealed on the Talk'n Shop podcast that the talents can now refer to themselves as WWE wrestlers. Karl Anderson confirmed his partner's revelation that the Sports Entertainment era is well and truly behind us.
The superstars don't get in trouble these days for mentioning professional wrestling, and it is just one of the many changes that have happened under Triple H.
Gallows and Anderson are also proud "Triple H guys," as they noted on their podcast, and like several talents, it seems like they have welcomed the new regime in WWE with open arms.
#1. Logan Paul reacts to Ronda Rousey's statement
WWE has actively brought athletes and personalities from other walks of life into the ring, with Logan Paul and Ronda Rousey being the two biggest crossover stars in recent years.
The WWE stories of Rousey and Paul, however, seem quite contrasting at this stage. The former UFC Champion recently spoke about Logan's success as a wrestler and complained that her rehearsal timings weren't evenly spread out, unlike in Paul's case.
The reigning United States Champion addressed her comments on his brother's podcast, BS w/ Jake Paul, and believed Ronda Rousey wasn't taking a personal attack on him. Logan recalled having only cordial interactions with Rousey whenever they met and felt she might just be a little frustrated with how she was treated in WWE.
Logan Paul's reaction has cleared the air about his equation with Ronda Rousey. However, her opinions about pro wrestling will continue to spark debates online on whether she was correctly handled by WWE.
