#2. Adam Pearce comments on taking multiple F5s from Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar is one of the most fearsome WWE wrestlers of all time. The Beast Incarnate has often shown his disregard for officials and raised his hands on them. The same happened with Adam Pearce in 2021 when he was on the receiving end of multiple F5s from the former Universal Champion.

The RAW General Manager recently reflected on the incident that even resulted in his pants getting split.

"That was amazing. [My pants] split on the first one, which was hilarious. I remember saying to Brock [Lesnar]. I said, 'Hey, how do you grab for the F5? I know it's a fireman's carry!' And so he showed me how he's gonna grab me, and I said, 'Don't worry, I'll get light for you!' And he goes, 'You don't have to.' And I said, 'I know, I don't have to, but I will. Brother, I got you.' What a pro! What a freak athlete!" he said.

Brock Lesnar is currently away from WWE programming, with no return date in sight.


#3. Bobby Steveson has left WWE

NXT Superstar Bobby Steveson, aka Damon Kemp, announced that he is no longer under contract with WWE. The 25-year-old joined the company in 2021 and wrestled nearly 100 matches across NXT, NXT UK, and 205 Live. He has revealed that he's open for bookings.


#4. AJ Styles responds to a fan after 1002 days

An AJ Styles fan's 1002-day streak came to an end as the Phenomenal One finally acknowledged him on social media. The fan had been mentioning Styles for nearly 3 years, hoping to get noticed.

AJ Styles was last seen on TV programming at Clash at the Castle, where he lost to Cody Rhodes in an I Quit match. He has made a few appearances at live shows since then.
