Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns has something to say to Paul Heyman on the next Raw. (WWE)

  • Roman Reigns will address Paul Heyman
  • CM Punk to discuss his SummerSlam Title Match against Gunther
  • Becky Lynch has a proposal for Lyra Valkyria
  • No. 1 Contender Triple Threat Tag Team Match: LWO vs. Creed Brothers vs. New Day
  • Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross
  • Rusev vs. Sheamus

Speaking of Heyman he’s all but saying the Seth Rollins injury is in fact a work. “The media will exploit their access to us by having more in-depth reporting behind the scenes. We’re going to exploit that access to the media by devising storylines that are enticing to the readers, viewers or the people who consume that content. It now becomes another platform for us to use. It’s just the evolution of the relationship. The reporters get closer to the product, and the product gets closer to the reporters.”

Bill Goldberg apologizes to Charles Robinson: “Here’s the deal. I asked for Charles to be there. Charles and I have a long history. Charles has taken that before and I might have broken a rib last time. Charles is indestructible. I don’t know how old he is, but he’s taken the spear a number of times. A lot of times, actually. More power to him. I love him to death. I do apologize for the rib. It’ll heal, like the other ones.”

The old WWE severance policy was one month’s pay for every year you were with the company. The new TKO Group policy just instituted is two weeks pay for every year, effectively cutting severance compensation in half. (PWI)

Yota Tsuji says “double main event” billing is bullshit. “Yeah (the IWGP World Heavyweight Title did not headline several USA shows in 2025). Underneath the STRONG Women’s Championship, underneath two non-title main events. I said this backstage in Aichi, June 29, the ‘double main event’ phrasing is BS, and it’s an insult to the people in the ‘first’ main. In the end, I lost the Global Title sadly, but I’ll still be planning to get in place to rectify that whole situation.”
