#2. Seth Rollins opens up about his hookup with Becky Lynch
Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch have been together since 2019. The duo got married in June 2021 and even have a daughter together. During a recent interview, The Visionary detailed the time the duo hooked up for the first time:
“I was shooting my shot ahead of time, I was talking a big game, trying to make things a little bit more romantic, I was like over the platonic stuff, and we also hadn’t been single at the same time, really. Let’s get down to business, so I had turned up my flirting game, but I also hadn’t seen her a lot, so I was texting, talking, and then we finally found ourselves in a room and she came out of the shower in a towel, and she gave me that look like ‘put up or shut up.’ I was not expecting that. It is not her personality type, but I was like– alright, this is it, we’re for real here, this is the real deal," he said.
Becky Lynch is currently on a hiatus from pro wrestling. Seth Rollins, meanwhile, is engaged in a feud with Bronson Reed. The duo celebrated their third marriage anniversary earlier this year.
#3. Austin Theory reveals AJ Styles rejected a dangerous spot with Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar is one of the most intimidating superstars of all time. Austin Theory recently recalled being in a spot with The Beast Incarnate which had him panicked. The SmackDown star added that even AJ Styles refused to take the move.
"So I remember the night before, we're at rehearsals, and everybody's there, AJ Styles is on Brock Lesnar's shoulders and there's a crash pad down on the floor. Vince steps up behind me and he goes ‘I want you to take that.’ I was just looking and as soon as he says Brock throws AJ to the pad. AJ lands on his side, and anybody who knows AJ, he doesn't cuss. If you catch him cussing, even on TV, that man is angry, but he goes, 'What the frick? That's stupid I'm not taking that.' Then Brock comes climbing down, and Vince goes, 'Brock, go back up, Theory is gonna take it.' I was like, 'oh man.' I'm just walking through the motions. I'm climbing up the cage. I'm just going up, and I'm just panicking," Theory said.
AJ Styles has been away from WWE programming since his match against Carmelo Hayes last month where he suffered an injury. The Phenomenal One is expected to be on the sidelines for a few months.
