WWE News & Rumor Roundup: Dominik's wife's reaction to unscripted kiss, Major star not winning Royal Rumble 2025, Becky Lynch update
With just days left for WWE Crown Jewel, there is a lot of activity in and around the company involving its top superstars. Dominik Mysterio recently revealed his wife's initial reaction to his kiss with Liv Morgan which is still regarded as one of the most shocking moments of the year.
Contrary to fan belief, it has also been speculated that a top WWE Superstar won't be winning this year's Royal Rumble. Today's news and rumor roundup concludes with a timely update on Becky Lynch and what's next for the absent superstar.
#1. How did Dominik Mysterio's wife react to WWE's Liv Morgan angle?
Being a pro wrestler in romantic angles can often be an uncomfortable experience.
During a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, Dominik Mysterio opened up about his on-screen character and whether it impacted his personal life.
At SummerSlam, Dominik stunned the world by kissing Liv Morgan after betraying Rhea Ripley. Mysterio recently revealed that the kiss was unplanned and explained how it all happened in the spur of the moment.
The new couple has been inseparable ever since and Dirty Dom revealed that his wife at home is "cool with it".
Dominik has dated Marie Juliette for a long time before getting married and their strong bond is quite evident. Dom recalled knowing Marie since she was 14 and how he had never faced any resistance from her regarding his work.
"She’s cool with it surprisingly, yeah, she’s honestly been super cool. She’s my ride-or-die. We’ve been together since we were 14. So as long as I let her know hey, this is what’s going to go down. She’s like alright, cool. She honestly never gives me a hard time."
Dominik Mysterio also revealed his wife's reaction to certain risqué moments on TV. The former NXT North American Champion noted that he regularly texts his partner after shows and they have never had any problems.
"I’ve said it before, but when Rhea licked me that one time, and even after the kiss with Liv, her first text to me, because I always text her after a match or anything ‘Hey honey, just finished. All good, all safe.’ Just so she knows. Usually, she’ll always text me back. ‘Oh, okay, good, see you soon. Love you.'" [H/T Inside The Ropes]
Dominik Mysterio's evolution in WWE has been commendable. While he is currently with Liv Morgan, his wrestling character is amongst those who just can't be trusted to remain loyal.
#2. Roman Reigns might not be winning the Royal Rumble
He's back to reclaim his throne but before Roman Reigns goes after the Undisputed WWE Title, the star first wants to be the only Tribal Chief in WWE.
The Bloodline saga is expected to continue for the foreseeable future and heading into 2025, the focus will most likely shift to Roman Reigns potentially wanting gold around his waist again.
Xero news recently noted that Roman Reigns is unlikely to win next year's Royal Rumble as the current rumored plan is for The Rock to face Cody Rhodes on night two of WrestleMania.
While nothing more was specified, there is a possibility of The Rock either winning the Rumble or just pushing for a match against Cody irrespective of the circumstances.
The Rock himself has not been seen since his cameo at Bad Blood, but he will inarguably be more regular once RAW moves to Netflix and Royal Rumble comes by.
#3. Becky Lynch makes an announcement
She has not wrestled since a Steel Cage match against Liv Morgan in May and has been on a well-deserved hiatus. WWE might be in a healthy state currently but no brand would deny wanting a star like Becky Lynch back.
As her break continues, Lynch recently shared a rare post on X and confirmed she would be at the Vulture Festival in Los Angeles. While wrestling fans would otherwise not get too excited over such an appearance, Becky Lynch's tweet hinted at a bigger revelation.
The former women's champion could give everyone a definitive update on what's next in her career when she greets the fans at the event in November.
Lynch is one of the greatest female stars of the modern era and many WWE fans would hope to see her back soon. We might know when that happens after she addresses the fans the next month.
