#2. Becky Lynch hints at retirement
Becky Lynch has stayed off the wrestling radar since her Steel Cage match against Liv Morgan. The Man is also no longer under contract with WWE, which raises doubts about her future.
Becky recently sent an emotional message on Instagram, seemingly hinting at retirement. The former Women's World Champion reflected on her career, noting that it has been an honor to entertain the fans for years.
#3. Roman Reigns' next appearance revealed
Roman Reigns made his return to the global juggernaut at SummerSlam where he laid out Solo Sikoa with a Superman Punch and Spear, helping Cody Rhodes retain the Undisputed WWE Championship.
The Original Tribal Chief will be following up his actions at SummerSlam with an appearance on the upcoming edition of SmackDown. Reigns is currently not assigned to any brand but it looks like he will be a part of the Friday Night show moving forward.
#4. Randy Orton will be Gunther's next opponent, as per Megan Morant
Randy Orton and Gunther faced off in the finals of the King of the Ring tournament where the Ring General controversially won the match. Triple H later announced that the two would compete in a rematch but the plans were seemingly nixed.
Now that Gunther is the World Heavyweight Champion, WWE host Megan Morant believes that Hunter could revisit his previous arrangement and pit Randy Orton against the Austrian star.
"We're going to get Gunther [vs.] Randy because of what happened at King of the Ring. I mean Triple H said we're gonna get it. He said we're gonna get it. [But I don't know when.] Me neither. But he said we're gonna get it. I just want it," she said.
Randy Orton made his presence felt at SummerSlam where he returned after a brief hiatus to assist Cody Rhodes against Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline.
