And More!
We’re kicking off with news from 
RAW, as after taking SmackDown, 
and Payback off, Retribution 
returned on this week’s RAW. 
During a tornado tag pitting the S
treet Profits against Andrade 
Angel Garza, the group attacked 
everyone in sight, though it was how 
Zelina Vega responded that got fans
talking. 
After pleading with three members of 
Retribution to stop the attack, 
Vega shrugged her shoulders before 
throwing some fists of her own, 
though she too received a beatdown 
for her efforts. 
Vega, her clients and the Profits are 
just the latest victims of Retribution, 
and with no-one knowing the motives 
of the group, we’ll have to see what 
happens when they show up next. 
Over to the NXT Commentary table 
now, as it’s been confirmed that 
Mauro Ranallo has left WWE, 
and won’t be part of any more events. 
After not appearing at TakeOver 30, 
Ranallo thanked WWE in a 
Facebook post, for allowing him to 
realise a childhood dream, he said: 
“I appreciate the opportunity I had to 
realize my childhood dream of 
working in sports entertainment, 
and I wish WWE well in the future. 
Now I want to direct my focus and 
devote my time to my other projects
and to my pental heath charitable 
activities and the well-being of my 
mother and myself.”
Responding, WWE confirmed that 
Ranallo’s departure was mutual, 
and praised his passion, saying: 
“WWE and Mauro Ranallo have 
mutually and amicably agreed to 
part ways. Mauro’s passion and 
enthusiasm left an indelible and 
exciting mark with WWE and its fans, 
and we wish him the best in his 
future endeavors.”
According to f4wonline.com, WWE’s 
travel schedule and Ranallo’s desire 

to be with his mother back home in 
British Columbia played a significant 
role in his decision to leave WWE. 
This explains why Wade Barrett was 
recently brought back to commentate, 
though its also been rumoured that 
the former IC Champion will be 
returning as an in-ring competitor 
soon.
Fans who still want to hear him can 
find Ranallo commentating for
boxing and MMA, 
and we’ll have to see if he ever 
returns to WWE, like he’s done 
before. 
From one commentator to another, 
and after Barrett’s commentary debut, 
it seems the former Superstar will stay. 
According to PW Insider, WWE and 
Barrett are in talks for a full-time 
contract. The report added: 
There had been WWE interest in 
Bennett dating back to early 2020 as 
an announcer...  There was talk over 
the last few days that Bennett could 
perhaps be plugged into NXT UK as 
an announcer.
We previously reported that WWE 
was looking to bring Barrett back 
full-time, and it was also reported 
that Barrett’s return last week was 
something of a feeling out process 
for the former Intercontinental 
Champion. 
Clearly, that process went given that 
he’ll be back for this week’s NXT, 
and fans could soon be hearing the 
Englishman’s voice 
each and-every-week. 
One person who also recently 
returned is Roman Reigns, who 
though some fans aren’t happy 
about his heel turn, others aren’t 
happy that he’s back at all. 
When one fan accused WWE of 
shoving Reigns down their throat, 
describing the new Universal  
Champion as an overrated performer, 
Reigns fired back with a level of 
aggression we don’t usually see
from him, saying:
Only reason I’m down your throat, 
is because you keep your mouth open. 
I’m the best performer of this 
generation period and the title is 
finally in the right hands for it to 
hold true value.
With this new-found aggression and 
Paul Heyman by his side, its clear 

WWE has a new direction for Roman 
Reigns, and he doesn’t care what 
the fans think of it. 
Now, it’s no secret that WWE has 
had to change how it does business 
in the ongoing global situation, 
and with WWE having to wipe away 
all large-scale events unable to sell 
tickets to their shows for the time 
being, that’s bad news for huge 
names who could shift tickets like 
Brock Lesnar. 
According to PW Insider, Lesnar’s 
deal with WWE has expired, 
meaning he’s now a free agent, 
and though the two sides are 
working on a new deal, nothing 
has been signed. 
Wrestlevotes also weighed in on the 
situation, saying: 
“The reports of Brock Lesnar being 
a free agent are true. In talking with 
a source, the belief is that once 
Lesnar is ready to work again, he’ll 
let McMahon know. Or vice versa, 
if WWE needs Brock, they 
Will present a deal he can’t refuse. 
Currently, it’s nothing more than 
that.”
There’s a big difference between 
WWE being ready to present a 
deal and them actually doing it 
however, as Dave Meltzer noted on 
F4W Online that the company is 
in no hurry to re-sign the former 
Universal Champion, as they can’t 
justify his price tag in the current 
climate, adding: 
“Lesnar usually takes his time 
re-signing with the company. WWE, 
however, is in no hurry as they do 
not currently have anything for him 
until they are able to do larger-scale 
shows. “
Lesnar won’t even be getting any 
additional checks from WWE for the 
time being, as all his merchandise 
has been taken down from their 
shop, and a search for Brock 
Lesnar’s name will come back with 
zero results, and tips on how to 
improve your search. 
As one of the biggest names in 
wrestling, there’s no shortage of 
places Lesnar could go, and being a 
free agent means he can talk to 
whoever he likes, whether that’s 
returning to the Octagon in UFC, or 
even becoming an All-Elite 
competitor in AEW, though just 
because he’s a free agent, that 
doesn’t mean they’ll match his 
asking price. 
At 43-years-old, a return to UFC 
becomes more unlikely with each 
passing year, though he still has a 
target on him, and Jon Jones still 
wants a fight with the Beast, 
a fight that is a greater possibility 
now Lesnar is no longer under 
WWE’s contract. 
Jones unleashed a slew of tweets 
recently, geared at Stipe Miocic, 
where it intended to stay why a 
rematch against Miocic made more 
sense than facing Francis Ngannou, 
before he turned his attention to the 
the Beast, saying “Brock, I’ll beatcho 
ass too.”
Time will tell whether Jones lives 
up to his promise now that Brock is a 
free agent, and given that he can 
speak to UFC once again, it’s not  
out of the question that he could 
have another big-money fight, while 
waiting for a big-money deal from 
Vince McMahon. 
Ultimately, the only person who really 
knows what’s happening with Lesnar, 
is Brock himself, and as we all know, 
the Beast Incarnate isn’t much of a 
talker, especially when it comes to 
matters such as this. 
We’re looking ahead to Clash of 
Champions now, as this week’s RAW 
saw Drew McIntyre’s next challenger 
announced. 
In a triple-threat number-one-
contenders match, it was Randy Orton
who defeated Keith Lee and Seth 
Rollins, earning himself another shot 
at the WWE Champion. 
Though Orton may have lost to 
McIntyre at Summerslam, and lost to 
Keith Lee at Payback, he’ll be
wrestling for the WWE Championship 
at Clash of Champions on September 
27th in the Amway Center, provided 
McIntyre is medically cleared.
Perhaps it’ll be third times’ the charm 
for Orton, who’s come up short on 
Pay Per View twice in two weeks, 
though he’ll have a tough night ahead 
of him on the 27th, when he faces 
Drew McIntyre. 
Though Keith Lee came up short on 
RAW, he did have an impressive 

showing last night, as well as at 
Payback, and according to reports, 
this is just the beginning. 
Alex McCarthy of TalkSport is 
reporting that a source told him that 
Vince McMahon tasked Orton with 
making Lee a star before the match, 
adding: 
Imagine how high Vince has to be 
on someone to have Randy Orton put 
them over clean as a whistle. Orton, 
doing the best work of his career, 
wants to help create that next 
generation of stars. He gets it.
It was added that McMahon wants to 
push Lee to the moon, which would 
explain why he got a clean win over 
the former World Champion in his first 
Pay Per View match.
It’s also been previously reported that 
Orton wants to work with NXT stars 
like Adam Cole and Tomasso Ciampa, 
and though he hasn’t had the chance 
to do that yet, perhaps it could happen, 
down the line.
Speaking of the red brand, fans won’t 
be seeing Rey Mysterio for a while, as 
WWE have confirmed that he suffered 
a torn-tricep during the Mysterios Vs. 
Rollins and Murphy tag-team match 
at Payback. 
On RAW, Mysterio was supposed to 
face Seth Rollins, with the winner 
getting a spot in the triple-threat-main 
event for a shot at the WWE 
Championship, but he was replaced 
by Dominik, who lost to Rollins and 
suffered a curb-stomp post-match, 
whilst the Mysterio family watched 
backstage. 
It’s unclear just how long Rey will be 
out for, as Edge is also out with a 
torn-tricep, and now Dominik will be 
on the roster without his father 
by his side. 
We’re entering the Thunderdome 
next as fans have once again 
sabused the system to show imagery 
related to the Kay Kay Kay. 
The so-called fan could be seen 
during RAW’s Keith Lee Vs. Dolph 
Ziggler match, playing a video of a
member of the hateful group, and 
though the camera cut away and 
the fan was removed, it did make 
the broadcast, as did what seemed to 
be a fan making a satute to oolf 
pipler. 
This isn’t the first time that trolls have 
misused the Thunderdome system, 
and the WWE are reportedly working 
to put trusted fans on the hard-cam, 
to ensure something like this never 
happens again. 
The company has previously 
distanced themselves from anyone 
who abuses the Thunderdome, 
and like we’ve said before, we 
wouldn’t be surprised if WWE went 
back to empty arenas after their deal 
with the Amway Center is up, as some 
fans can’t be trusted to behave, and 
are ruining the Thunderdome for 
everyone. 
Now, it’s no secret that WWE will use 
a Superstar’s real-life issues to 
advance storylines, and that happened 
at Payback with Matt Riddle and King 
Corbin, though fans weren’t happy. 
Before their match, Corbin tweeted 
that he’d prove Riddle is a failure in 
the ring, as the King of Bros has 
proven he’s a failure at home, an 
obvious reference to the claims of
inappropriate conduct levelled at
Riddle earlier this year, which led 
to him admitting to cheating on his 
wife. 
It’s unclear if Corbin was acting under 
WWE’s orders with the tweet, but 
many fans didn’t appreciate Corbin’s 
off-colour comments, including one 
person who called Corbin’s wife a 
‘skank’, though the King fired back 
by sharing the fans’ twitter header 
photo, a less-than-flattering image, 
and now that fan has deleted their 
Twitter account. 
Though Riddle would go on to defeat 
the King at Payback, Corbin’s tweets, 
and the responses criticizing the King, 
are still online for all to see, and it’ll be 
interesting to see if their feud gets any 
more personal from here. 
Back to RAW now, as The IIconics 
and the Riott Squad had a rematch 
from their Payback kick-off 
appearance with some interesting 
stipulations. 
After Ruby Riott got the win over Billie 
Kay, it was confirmed that Riott and 
Morgan will get a shot at the 
Women’s tag-team-titles, and per 
WWE’s special verbiage, the IIconics 
are ‘no more’. 
This break-up isn’t a huge surprise, 
as WWE had been teasing a break-up 
in May, and it was reported last month 
that Vince McMahon sees Peyton 
Royce as a huge singles star. 
Tom Phillips even added that Kay 
and Royce’s decade-plus-long-
friendship is over as they’re not a team, 
and whilst nobody pointed out to him 
that can still be friends outside the ring, 
this could be the start of something 
bigger for both Australian Superstars. 
And we’re ending today with news 
from Netflix, as The Big Show Show 
has been cancelled. 
Deadline reports that Netflix has 
decided not to renew the show, 
which will get one more original 
episode at Christmas, though that 
won’t be connected to any ongoing 
storyline. 
Out of the ring, Big Show has a few 
projects in the pipeline, but really 
loved working on the Netflix sitcom, 
and hopefully he’ll find a new project 
he’s just as passionate over in the 
not-so-distant future.
