WWE News Roundup: Former champion will allegedly never wrestle again due to career-ending injury, Becky Lynch to AEW? Seth Rollins update

Welcome to the August 6 edition of WWE News Roundup. In today's piece, we will be covering topics around Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch, among others.

Becky Lynch has been away from the wrestling radar since her match against Liv Morgan on RAW a couple of months ago. Amid the uncertainty surrounding her future, an ex-WWE employee has shared his thoughts on where The Man could end up.

Also, wrestling veteran Jonathan Coachman has outright stated that he does not see a former champion donning his wrestling boots ever again. So, without any further delay, let's begin.


#1. WWE RAW highlights

The SummerSlam fallout edition of Monday Night RAW was filled with enthralling matches and moments. Odyssey Jones finally showed up on the main roster after moving from NXT a couple of years back. We also saw Bronson Reed lay out Seth Rollins with a brutal attack while the Wyatt Sicks made their in-ring debut.

Here are the complete results from the show:

  • Sheamus def. Ludwig Kaiser
  • Lyra Valkyria def. Shayna Baszler via DQ
  • The New Day def. AOP
  • A-Town Down Under def. Awesome Truth
  • Damian Priest def. JD McDonagh via DQ
  • IYO SKY def. Sonya Deville
  • Wyatt Sicks def. Chad Gable & The Creed Brothers

#2. Seth Rollins update

Seth Rollins was on the receiving end of Bronson Reed's wrath on RAW as the powerhouse laid him out with six Tsunamis. The Visionary ended up coughing blood and was rushed for a medical checkup.

Michael Cole and Pat McAfee noted on the commentary desk that Rollins will need an X-ray, an endoscopic scan, and a CAT scan. He is unlikely to be available for the next couple of weeks.


#3. Becky Lynch to AEW?

Becky Lynch's future has been up in the air over the last few months. The Man recently sparked retirement rumors with an emotional post. However, according to Tommy Carlucci, the former Women's World Champion's post could be about her heading over to AEW now since she's no longer under a contract with the Stamford-based promotion.

"Maybe she's done with WWE and maybe making her way to AEW," he said.

Becky has not donned her wrestling boots since the Steel Cage match against Liv Morgan. However, many in WWE expect her to return to the company after a brief hiatus.


#4. Former WWE Champion will never wrestle again, says Jonathan Coachman

Big E has been out of action since suffering a potential career-ending injury in March 2022. While many have been hoping for the former WWE Champion to make a return, Jonathan Coachman believes that the New Day member's career is over:

"Tommy, he's [Big E] never wrestling again, '' Coachman said. ''No, no way," Carlucci replied. "He's never wrestling again. I know he wants to. I would never allow him to because he would take one bad, just a simple chokeslam or a bodyslam for him to be paralyzed forever," The Coach added.

The New Day received help from Odyssey Jones on RAW last night and it is speculated that he could end up replacing Big E in the fan-favorite faction.
