#5 Plans for Roman Reigns' WWE WrestleMania opponent changed

Roman Reigns won the Universal Championship at Payback by ending the week-long reign of Bray Wyatt. However, unlike what many anticipated, he will not be facing The Fiend at Clash of Champions, but his cousin Jey Uso.

Roman Reigns has aligned himself with Paul Heyman and the two have already established their dominance on the blue brand. With Reigns finally winning the Universal Championship, it is only a matter of time before he clashes with Bray Wyatt again.

Dave Meltzer of WON reported that The Fiend and Roman Reigns feud is not over yet and Wyatt is being saved for a later date to have a match with The Big Dog in WWE.

The idea seems to be to save Fiend, his WrestleMania opponent in the original planning that Vince changed, to a later PPV.

Roman Reigns has finally turned heel in WWE and it is being believed that 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt will be turned into the top babyface on SmackDown. It is likely that their feud is being stalled for the moment so that it can pick up around the beginning of the road to WrestleMania.

#4 Backstage details on Billie Kay's WWE future

Dave Meltzer of WON has stated that WWE has no plans for Billie Kay and that she might be 'going away'. Billie Kay and Peyton Royce have been a team for their 5-year long tenure in WWE and were called The IIconics.

However, the team was forced to split two weeks ago and took on each other in a singles match last week. The bout was won by Peyton Royce who is being pegged as the next big female Superstar. Unfortunately for her best friend Billie Kay, the future doesn't look as bright.

''It’s very clear that they have no plans for Billie Kay… Billie Kay might be going away and they know it.''

There have been rumors that Vince McMahon has himself expressed interest in pushing Peyton Royce as a future top card female Superstar. Royce and Kay have held the Women's Tag Team Championships in the past.

Even though Royce may be getting a major push, it will be interesting to see what happens to Billie Kay in the future.

#3 Backstage anger on the 'this is your life segment' in WWE

Bruce Prichard recently spoke about WWE icons The Rock and Mankind on his podcast. The RAW creative head revealed that he was absolutely furious with everyone involved in the infamous 'this is your life' promo as it had gone overboard. He said that he was 'pissed' at The Rock.

He revealed that he still hasn't re-watched the segment as it brings back memories of being angry and losing his mind backstage.

''I was pissed off at Russo, I was pissed off at Rock, I was pissed off at Foley, I was pissed off at anybody that was standing in front of me. It went 14 minutes heavy over its allotted time. Bad. Here’s the thing – OK great, after the fact, it did a great rating. But the effect it had on the rest of the television show was horrendous because now you’re having two or three-minute segments and matches are getting cut. Essentially they went two segments over.''

Even though the promo has become iconic over the years, it is a known fact that even WWE Chairman Vince McMahon was not happy with The Rock and Mankind going off-script initially.

#2 Big Hell in a Cell WWE Championship match planned

One of the hottest feuds in WWE today is the one between Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton. The Viper and The Scottish Psychopath have done everything to showcase their dominance over the other in the past few weeks.

The two men are set to compete at Clash of Champions in a WWE Championship match. While McIntyre defeated Orton at SummerSlam, The Viper will be getting another shot at the former's WWE Championship.

As per Tom Colohue, Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre will headline te show inside the steel structure. Here is what Cagesideseats stated:

Tom Colohue of Sportskeeda claims he’s heard that Hell in a Cell will be headlined by Drew McIntyre vs. Randy Orton in a Cell match.

There has been a lot of speculation on whether or not WWE will continue with Drew McIntyre as the WWE Champion. However, a third match in their series would indicate either Orton winning at Clash of Champions or some sort of a DQ finish in order to prolong their program till Hell in a Cell.

#1 AEW Superstar Miro comments on Roman Reigns heel turn in WWE

The man formerly known as Rusev shocked the wrestling world when he appeared on AEW Dynamite this week. Rusev, who now goes by the name Miro, talked about WWE's Big Dog Roman Reigns on his Twitch/Youtube streams. The former US Champion, who had a long rivalry with Roman Reigns, stated that turning The Big Dog heel is the correct decision.

''Why wouldn't he want to be a heel? People wanted him to be a heel forever now. I think it's going to be really fun for him, I know he's going to have a blast. He was a great heel and has always been a great dude and great worker and he gets it, so I think he's got [Paul] Heyman and Vince [McMahon], so he'll be fine. I think he did the right thing"

Rusev also talked about his own experiences in WWE, saying that he got bored after being a heel for too long and it is always refreshing to have a change in character, adding that people always need change.
