Last night on Smackdown, Rey Mysterio defeated Austin Theory to take the United States title away from him. This decision has raised a lot of questions among the WWE Universe whether Triple H is planning to bury Austin Theory again. But some fans also believe that one defeat does not mean a burial.
There are speculations among the fans that WWE is potentially planning for another unification match. This time, they would unify the NXT North American title along with the United States title. Even Sportskeeda made this speculation. This would be an epic mistake since NXT is receiving excellent ratings and viewership mostly after Dominik Mysterio became North American Champion.
The Next Return Date Of Roman Reigns Is Still Not Confirmed
Jimmy Uso betrayed his own brother Jey Uso at Summerslam during Jey’s big match against Roman Reigns. This has potentially started a feud between the two brothers. Last night on Smackdown, Jimmy tried to explain his action but Jey was not pleased as he grounded his twin brother with a Super Kick.
A poster had been released for an autograph signing from WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi with “Come meet Rikishi before he referees at Payback” written on it. Fans immediately started to speculate that this must have some connection with the mentioned brother vs. brother storyline. He could be portrayed as the special guest referee for this big match.
Reports from Fightful Select suggest that three times WWE World Champion Bray Wyatt is getting ‘closer’ to being medically cleared. Wyatt is out of action for more than five years now. Fans are waiting to see him returning to action soon and dominate the promotion once again. At this moment, there is a possibility of ‘The Eater of the World’ potentially returning at Payback.
