So without further ado, let us dive in and take a look at some interesting stories revolving around WWE.
#5 Roman Reigns to face WWE legend Rey Mysterio inside HIAC
There had been speculation that Roman Reigns would face Jimmy Uso at the upcoming Hell in a Cell show. However, Dave Meltzer of WON had reported that WWE did not have any such plans.
Last year Reigns defeated Jey Uso inside HIAC which led to him being indoctrinated into Reigns' cult. So it would be an easy conclusion that he is going to do the same with Jey's rebellious brother Jimmy Uso.
Dave Meltzer revealed on Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE plans on having the Universal Champion face 3-time WWE World Champion Rey Mysterio inside Hell in a Cell.
According to Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline, the current plan is for The Tribal Chief to defend the title against former WWE Champion, Rey Mysterio.
Last week on SmackDown, Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso faced the SmackDown Tag Team Champions Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio. However, the Samoan Twins were unable to gain an upper hand during the match.
When it looked like The Mysterios would be picking up the win, the Tribal Chief stormed the ring and brutally beat down Rey Mysterio's son Dominik.
This will likely set up a match between the two where Rey Mysterio will try to avenge Reigns' actions against his son.
