3) WWE Is Setting Up Rey Mysterio’s Return
WWE’s website has provided an update on Rey Mysterio. They say that Rey’s eye has been placed back into its socket and his vision is improving.
Here is what the site wrote:
UPDATE, 7/28/20: WWE Digital has learned that Rey Mysterio’s vision is improving slowly each day, and that his optic nerve is intact, completely secured and back in its socket. A timeline for Mysterio’s return to the ring is unknown at this time.
My Take:
- This definitely seems like WWE is planting the seeds for Rey to return to television in the near future. When he does return, it sounds like his eye will be completely back to normal.
2) The Original Plans For Asuka At Summerslam
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE has changed up the plans that they originally had for Asuka at Summerslam.
Asuka was originally planned to face the person who injured Kairi Sane backstage. These plans have now been scrapped:
“There were so many changes made including the Asuka and Sasha Banks stuff. That was all changed. Originally Asuka was going to defend the title against whoever injured Kairi and that was as of, at least Sunday night or Monday morning of last week right before the tapings [and] they tore that all up.”
My Take:
- I am definitely okay with Asuka vs Sasha again at Summerslam if it happens. They have some great chemistry with one another.
