#2. Wyatt Sicks has arrived

Uncle Howdy seems to be the leader of the Wyatt Sicks which also consists of Nikki Cross, Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy, and Dexter Lumis.
One of the names that was taken out by the faction is Chad Gable, who himself got separated from his group earlier in the show. Braun Strowman was also seemingly targeted by Uncle Howdy and Co.
#3. The Undertaker talked about his epic moment with Brock Lesnar
The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar renewed their rivalry in 2015 after the former cost the Beast Incarnate his match against Seth Rollins. The duo faced off at SummerSlam, where they both laughed in each other's faces before trading blows.
The Deadman recalled the incident during a recent interview, noting that it was Brock Lesnar's idea:
"That was Brock. So we talked a little bit about that match and he ran it by me but I don't think I was paying enough attention to what he really wanted to do. So when he did it, I was almost taken aback a little bit like what the freaking hell are you laughing at that? And then it kind of dawned on me what he was doing. And then I laugh back at him and it's yeah, it's become kind of an iconic deal but yeah, if I'd have been paying close enough attention I'd probably go 'Yeah, I don't know if I want to do that.' But the way it worked, it worked out worked out fine," he said.
#4. Drew McIntyre quits WWE
Drew McIntyre was involved in a major controversy at the WWE Clash at the Castle as CM Punk once again cost him the World Heavyweight Championship. The Scottish Warrior was infuriated after the loss and even got into an altercation with Corey Graves.
Last night on RAW, many expected Drew to address Punk's actions. However, the Scottish Warrior instead revealed that he's done with WWE and is quitting.
While Triple H and Adam Pearce tried to change McIntyre's mind, he did not listen to the two and left the arena.
#5. Top champion says she "hates" Rhea Ripley
Rhea Ripley has been one of the top stars in WWE for over two years. Aside from being an excellent in-ring worker, Mami is also very popular among fans despite being a heel.
Recently, Bayley confessed that she hates the Judgment Day star for how good she is and would like to face her down the line.
"She's (Rhea Ripley) someone I haven't really been able to be in the ring with much at all. We've had a Survivor Series, a triple-threat with Asuka and that was one of my favorites. She's incredible in the ring. She's one of a kind and I hate her and I get jealous of her because she's so damn good and young. But I would love to step inside a ring with her at any point, especially at WrestleMania," said Bayley.
Rhea Ripley is currently out of action due to an injury. She is expected to return in time for SummerSlam.
