WWE Rumor Roundup: 3 Former Champions could quit soon, Vince McMahon lifts ban on a forbidden word - 1st December 2019

#4. Elias and Lacey Evans have turned babyface

Elias returned to WWE TV this week on SmackDown in a backstage segment that featured Dana Brooke and Drake Maverick.

Dave Meltzer revealed on the Wrestling Observer Radio that the Drifter will be a babyface going forward. It's interesting to note that he turned face without having a big and definite segment to cement his turn.

Meltzer also revealed that Lacey Evans also turned babyface without a proper segment to signify the change.

Evans confronted Bayley and Sasha Banks on SmackDown and took out Sasha Banks with the Women's Right.

Both the babyface turns happened without any build and that was noted to be a surprising change in the way WWE has been booking the turns.

#5. Latest on the Mauro Ranallo situation

I hope you need no introduction to the situation between Mauro Ranallo and Corey Graves.

Graves has already apologized for his offensive tweet but Ranallo is still not back on NXT TV.

As we had reported earlier, Ranallo was in rough shape last week and he needed some more time to mentally recover from the entire ordeal.

Dave Meltzer provided a new update on the Wrestling Observer Radio and stated that the NXT commentator is doing better, however, there is still no news on when he would get back to work.

It was added that the company is in constant touch with Ranallo and he should be back on Wednesday nights as soon is ready to make his comeback.
