The storyline between Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan also took a new turn as Mami seemingly accepted Dominik Mysterio back.

#2. Kane namedrops Brock Lesnar
The entire world has been talking about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump over the last few days. WWE Hall of Famer and Knox County's Mayor Glenn Jacobs (a.k.a Kane) also reacted to the same, noting that while he believed Brock Lesnar was the toughest person he had ever met, his mind changed after seeing Trump's reaction to an attempt on his life.
Brock Lesnar is currently away from WWE programming. There is no word on when he could return.
#3. Damian Priest teases babyface turn
Damian Priest has been a heel for over two years, along with The Judgment Day. However, the World Heavyweight Champion recently teased turning babyface as he helped Jey Uso get back on his feet after their match at a recent live event.
Priest has been hinting at turning over a new leaf over the last few weeks. His promo war with Gunther on RAW also cemented himself as the good guy in the feud.
#5. WWE's plans for Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes part 3
While many expect Roman Reigns to stay off Cody Rhodes' path upon his eventual return to WWE, a recent report stated that the two could clash sooner rather than later. According to the report, the duo could meet at this year's Saudi Arabia show ahead of the Netflix move.
Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes last faced off at WrestleMania 40 where the American Nightmare ended the former's historic title reign. Reigns has been on a hiatus since then.
