A recent report mentioned that the company wanted fans to believe that the match at SummerSlam was possibly the Beast Incarnate's final outing in the squared circle.
"That was always the plan, you know when he left and there were people going, 'was that his retirement?' I was told WWE wanted it to seem like it, but he’s coming back,"- Dave Meltzer reported
Brock Lesnar won't be in action at this year's Crown Jewel. He is expected to be back around Royal Rumble.
#2. Roman Reigns to face two major names in 2024
Roman Reigns has been the top WWE star for over three years and it looks like the company full on wants to capitalize on his star power. As per a recent report, Triple H and Co. could pit the Tribal Chief against Cody Rhodes and The Rock next year.
While Roman Reigns has already defeated Cody once, he has never stood across the ring from the Brahma Bull and a match between them will certainly be the biggest match of the current era.
Roman Reigns is currently embroiled in a feud with LA Knight and the duo will square off at Crown Jewel for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
#1. Character change discussed for The Miz
The Miz has been one of the top heels in WWE for so long that it's almost impossible for many to see him play any other character. However, if a new report is to be believed, the creative team has been discussing a face turn for the star. It was also reported if the former champion is to undergo a character change, he could work with the recently reunited DIY.
The A-Lister was seen talking to Adam Pearce backstage on last week's RAW where he complained that there was not much focus on him. Could this be the start of a highly-anticipated face turn?
