Inside: Popular WWE Superstar Missing RAW After Injury

TOP STORIES TODAY

Roman Reigns is officially back in the fold after a month away, following the events of Clash in Paris 2025. However, not everything is well, as Jimmy Uso, in particular, wasn't happy with the message conveyed to his brother. The main event of RAW this week was The Usos vs The Brons, i.e, Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker. While that might sound like a conventional RAW main event these days, this was technically a tornado tag team match.

Unlike Wrestlepalooza, there was no LA Knight as the special guest referee, and when the time came, Roman Reigns emerged and took a steel chair, beating Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker in a huge measure of revenge for Clash in Paris 2025. He successfully did so, helping The Usos get their win back from Wrestlepalooza. But what was more interesting was the final minute of RAW, where Roman Reigns addressed Jey Uso. He told him to "F- them all" as RAW belongs to Jey. He encouraged him to be selfish and take everybody out, and Jimmy Uso was listening to this in the background, visibly unhappy about what The OTC was telling Jey.

Adam Pearce may not have the easiest time ahead of him right now, as a WWE star has decided to call him out and make a demand. Another popular star is going to be out of action at this time. Xavier Woods has been on a mission to get the Mexican Destroyer banned ever since he lost a match because of it. Penta has hit each member of the New Day with the move, and Woods has even claimed that it injured him enough that he needed surgery on his head. Last week, Grayson Waller was hit with the Destroyer, but this time it was from the ropes, making it even more destructive. Waller even sold it like he had been destroyed and didn't move.

Taking to X tonight ahead of RAW, Woods revealed that Waller was not going to be on the show. He said that the star would be missing RAW as a result of Penta injuring him last week. He added that as a result, Kofi Kingston and Woods himself would be making sure that Adam Pearce would set things right. He did not mention how they would be doing this, but clearly, the RAW General Manager is facing a major demand.

El Grande Americano now leads the charge as he has a faction named "Los Americanos" with two sidekicks. His two sidekicks officially have their ring names in WWE.This week on RAW, AJ Styles was booked to team up with Dragon Lee to face the two new recruits of Los Americanos. The two men, who have sporadically appeared to do the bidding of El Grande Americano (and Dominik Mysterio), are believed to be Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate. They are officially a faction. Styles cut a promo ahead of his clash against John Cena, telling the fans that thanks to them, he can do his favorite thing ever - beat up John Cena. Dragon Lee, meanwhile, praised his tag team partner and said it was an honor to team up with him before vowing to go after Dominik Mysterio's AAA Mega Championship.

Meanwhile, the two sidekicks of El Grande Americano now have a name. The one wearing red is Rayo, and the one wearing blue is Bravo. Rayo and Bravo would ultimately suffer a defeat to AJ Styles and Dragon Lee in a creative finish that saw Lee directly set up the Styles Clash for his partner, while taking out everyone necessary. Grande Americano, played by Ludwig Kaiser, also tried getting involved in the match, but ultimately, he was taken out too, and it was a victory for Styles and Lee. It looks like Bravo and Rayo are going to be the de facto fall guys for Grande Americano while they do his bidding.

FROM THE RUMOR MILL

There has been a major update regarding the criminal case against a former WWE Superstar. The star in question hasn't competed in a match for the promotion since 2013. Ted DiBiase Jr. was arrested in 2023 for allegedly misusing Mississippi welfare funds for his own personal benefit. The former WWE star is facing a potential maximum of 45 years imprisonment and a million-dollar fine for his actions. DiBiase allegedly used two companies, Priceless Ventures LLC and Familiae Orientem LLC, to receive federal funds.

According to a new report from PWInsider, there is a hearing set for DiBiase Jr.'s criminal trial next month. The hearing will take place on October 1 at the Mississippi Southern District Court. DiBiase Jr. spent several years at the company before his departure in 2013. He remained active in the independent wrestling scene following his exit before officially retiring in 2020. The 42-year-old captured the World Tag Team Championships twice with Cody Rhodes during his time in the promotion.

Mandy Rose could be on her way back to WWE after the events at NXT No Mercy. Lola Vice challenged Jacy Jayne for the NXT Women's Championship last weekend. Vice was the favorite to win the title heading into the bout, but a surprise attack ruined her championship aspirations.

The two competitors had a spectacular back-and-forth contest on Saturday. Jayne's partner, Fallon Henley, tried getting involved in the bout but was ejected by the referee for her efforts. Just when the odds appeared to be favoring Vice to dethrone Jayne, a hooded figure emerged out of nowhere, taking out Vice on the outside. This interference allowed Jayne to retain her NXT Women's Championship. Interestingly, it is being speculated that Mandy Rose could be Lola Vice's mystery attacker.
