#1. WWE RAW results

#2. Former WWE star arrested
Former WWE Superstar Charles Scagss, also known as 2 Cold Scorpio was recently arrested for stabbing another man. Scaggs claimed that his actions were in self-defense and is already out on bail. The hearing for the incident will take place next month.
2 Cold Scorpio was a part of the Stamford-based promotion in the late 90s. He also returned to the company in 2006 but his stint did not last long and was released in 2007.
#3. Alexa Bliss' return teased on RAW
Many expected Alexa Bliss to be a part of the Wyatt Sicks but the group debuted with just five members. However, the former RAW Women's Champion could still be added to the group later on and the same was seemingly teased on the red brand this week.
Little Miss Bliss' dark persona was spotted on a production truck. The incident took place during Chad Gable's segment. The Alpha Academy star was targeted by the sinister faction last week.
#4. WWE legend on Roman Reigns reuniting with The Usos
Roman Reigns parted ways from The Usos shortly after they lost the tag titles to Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 39. While Jimmy Uso later joined back the faction, Jey has kept his distance from The Tribal Chief.
With Solo Sikoa now leading The Bloodline, Rikishi believes Roman Reigns could reunite with The Usos to take on the Enforcer and his recruits.
"I think Roman [Reigns] comes back, you know, maybe the twins come back and turn babyface. Tag team back up again, you know, have Paul Heyman with them and go up against Solo [Sikoa] and the crew," Rikishi said.
Roman Reigns has been away from WWE programming since losing his Undisputed WWE Universal Title to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40. He is expected to feud with Solo Sikoa upon his return.
#5. Prominent backstage name released from WWE
The departures have continued in WWE in the new era, with EVP of Television Chris Kaiser being the latest name to be let go by the company.
Chris joined the global juggernaut in 2015. He started as the Senior Vice President of Television Production and was later promoted to the EVP of television operations and production. He received his last role in 2021.
