3) The Backstage Reaction To The Becky Lynch News
D-Von Dudley spoke about Becky Lynch’s pregnancy announcement on the Table Talk podcast. During this, he revealed that almost everybody backstage was shocked at Becky’s announcement.
Here is what D-Von said:
“We were watching the segment just like everyone else was at home. And, if I’m not mistaken, I believe Asuka didn’t know. So, the reaction that she gave was extremely genuine and natural”
“The response when she did say you’re gonna go off to be WWE women’s champion now and I’m going to go off to be a mother, everybody in the room just went, ‘what?!’ Nia, Lana, Tamina, and I don’t want to say the other girl because if I do it might take away from her meanness”
My Take:
- I am happy that WWE kept it a secret. Asuka’s reaction was incredible and made the segment even better. Also, I think it is pretty clear that D-Von is talking about Shayna Baszler at the end and I appreciate him trying to keep kayfabe a bit.
2) Rey Mysterio’s Future
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Rey Mysterio has NOT signed a new contract with WWE.
Rey’s current contract is expected to expire in September.
My Take:
- Personally, I don’t see Rey jumping ship to AEW. My guess is that WWE gives him a job as a coach at the Performance Center. This would make sense as Rey could also help train his son, Dominick.
