Last week's episode of WWE LFG ended in drama. Booker T lost his cool after Michelle McCool got the first two draft picks. She chose the exact stars he had been eyeing. Frustrated, Booker yelled, “Best of luck in your future endeavors,” and walked off the show.
This week’s episode opened with The Undertaker reacting. As McCool’s husband, He warned her about having a target on her back. He didn’t appreciate Booker’s outburst either. Tension is clearly building between the Hall of Famers, and things could get even more heated from here.
 Carlito is set to step back into the ring for the first time since his WWE departure, and he'll be facing a controversial opponent, Matt Riddle. The match is scheduled for July 25, 2025, at a Big Time Wrestling event.

However, his career was marred by multiple controversies, including serious allegations and off-screen behavior that eventually led to his release. Since then, he’s been active on the independent scene. Now, with Carlito freshly out of WWE, this matchup marks a notable moment for both stars in a new chapter of their careers. |  Rhea Ripley picked up a big win at WWE Night of Champions, bouncing back after her Queen of the Ring tournament loss.

FROM THE RUMOR MILL
A major accusation has surfaced following CM Punk’s viral apology to Saudi fans at the Night of Champions 2025 Kickoff Show. The apology came after a fan in the crowd demanded Punk address a controversial 2020 tweet in which he insulted both The Miz and Saudi Arabia. Punk complied, publicly apologizing, a moment that quickly spread across social media.
However, Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that the fan was “almost certainly” a WWE plant. This has sparked debate online, with some suggesting the moment was orchestrated to repair Punk's image ahead of his high-profile match. WWE has not commented on the allegation.
TOP FEATURES
Cody Rhodes has officially won the 2025 King of the Ring tournament, earning a shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam. He defeated Randy Orton in the finals at Night of Champions, but the victory came with controversy—Rhodes sent Orton ribs-first into an exposed turnbuckle before finishing him off with Cross Rhodes.
This result may not sit well with The Viper, who could argue he was cheated and request to be added to the SummerSlam title match. Meanwhile, CM Punk also has unfinished business after losing to John Cena under controversial circumstances, thanks to Seth Rollins' interference. Punk is expected to demand a rematch or another shot at the title. With tensions rising on all fronts, WWE may be headed toward a blockbuster SummerSlam main event: a fatal four-way for the Undisputed WWE Championship featuring John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and CM Punk.

Since then, The Head of the Table hasn’t been seen, fueling speculation about his future and when he might return to confront the rising threat of this dominant new faction.
