On today's roundup we will talk about former US Champion and RAW Superstar's career being over, why former WWE Champion was frustrated because of Roman Reigns and more.
We will also speculate on what the appearance of veteran Superstar on AEW could mean for the future of AEW. So without further ado, let us take a look at the biggest stories:
#6 MVP's in-ring career reportedly over
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Former US Champion MVP might have made his return to the WWE ring at the Royal Rumble PPV, but it seems as though his time inside the squared circle is now over.
It had been reported previously that MVP will be taking up a backstage role in the coming time with the company. However, ever since his return MVP has made regular appearances on RAW including skirmishes with the Royal Rumble winner Drew McIntyre.
Dave Meltzer of WON has reported that MVP's in-ring career is over:
So he (MVP) said that Drew beat him with a cheap shot and he's going to beat him head to head. He hits him over the head with a cheap shot with the microphone and gives him a running kick but obviously, Drew is not going to be selling long for MVP and he ripped off his tape on his nose, which is in fact, the idea of, that's the end of his wrestling career because the tape on his nose is his gimmick. And then he gave him the Future Shock DDT and a Claymore kick and it was over. So, just a quick match and there you go.

It is clear now that MVP's match against Drew McIntyre this past week on RAW was most likely the last match he ever wrestled for WWE.
#5 Raven spotted in AEW
Former WWE Superstar and multi-time Hardcore Champion Raven was spotted in the crowd during AEW this week. A backstage photo of him was posted by AEW Superstar Jimmy Havok.
Raven is most famous for his time in ECW and the memorable feud he had with Tommy Dreamer in the promotion. The former US Champion has always had an unusual character and many fans have started believing that Raven's appearance at AEW may be a sign of the veteran joining or leading the Dark Order faction.
#4 Charlotte Flair's future plans
While The Queen Charlotte Flair is all set to face Rhea Ripley for the NXT Women's Championship at WrestleMania 36. That may not be the only NXT Superstar that Flair will be competing against.
As per rumors, WWE is planning Charlotte Flair vs Bianca Belair.
There’s speculation, from Observer Radio and elsewhere, that Charlotte Flair vs Bianca Belair could happen on NXT as a way to pop a rating.
Charlotte Flair is a 10-time Women's Champion and it will be interesting to see how WWE use her to elevate the women of NXT in the coming time.

#3 Sheamus reveals why he wasn't happy with his booking
The Celtic Warrior Sheamus was part of a rag-tag faction in 2015 called the League of Nations which included him, Rusev, Alberto Del Rio and Wade Barrett. While Sheamus won the WWE Championship as part of the stable, he recently revealed on an episode of The Bump that he wasn't too happy with the booking.
There's been a lot of ups and a lot of downs in this business for me. The first time I ever felt like I was stuck in a rut was when I was in The League of Nations. We had this group that was created together, and to me, this group was set up to make Roman Reigns a babyface. But, it was a dead-end for us. From the moment we got together, which was a last-minute thing, it was frustrating to me [on all four men losing to Reigns]. I hit a roadblock.” [H/T Wrestling Inc ]
Sheamus recently returned to WWE last month and has been feuding with Shorty G. The former 4-time World Champion is one of the topmost performers on SmackDown today and we hope that he gets a major push soon.
#2 Possibility of Adam Cole vs Triple H
While Triple H is the creative genius behind the success of NXT, he is still an active performer for WWE. Though The Game does not step in to the ring as often as he once did, his matches are still keenly looked forward to by the fans.
Current NXT Champion Adam Cole recently spoke to Steel Chair Magazine and stated that he would love to face Triple H in a match with The Game's career on the line.
Anybody on our roster would agree. We all idolized Triple H or Shawn Michaels as kids, and now we’ve grown up, we’re working together with them. We’re really getting to see their minds and not only how smart they are, but how much they absolutely love this job. I wouldn’t pass that up for the world, that absolutely is something that I would love to do. I know many NXT talents feel the same way, and I definitely know a bunch of fans would love it.
Do you think Adam Cole should be the Superstar to end the legendary Triple H's career? Let us know below!

#1 The Undertaker spotted at the Performance Center
There have been a lot of rumors regarding The Undertaker returning to compete at WrestleMania 36 in a dream match against AJ Styles. It is being said that The Phenom himself chose Styles as his opponent for this year as The Phenomenal One reminds him of Shawn Michaels.
Here is what WrestleZone had stated:
This could be a phenom-enal addition to the WrestleMania card in Tampa. According to a source speaking with Wrestlezone, AJ Styles versus The Undertaker is currently being planned for WrestleMania 36 in Tampa.
As per Fightful Select, The Undertaker was present at the WWE Performance Center recently along with former World Champion Mark Henry.
At least as of last week, The Undertaker was at the WWE Performance Center. Mark Henry was also there, which isn’t a surprise considering he contributed to the Lee vs. Dijakovic vignette that aired.
While many fans believe it is time for The Deadman to hang up his boots, it looks like the former multi-time WWE Champion has no such intentions. The Undertaker has been in great shape as of late and a match against someone like AJ Styles will truly be absolutely Phenomenal.
