The Usos' new leader, Triple H confirms legends' return & WrestleMania 43 update

Inside: AJ Styles could turn heel and more

TOP STORIES TODAY

The Usos are officially back together, but recent events on WWE RAW have raised serious questions about where their story is headed. At Clash in Paris 2025, Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker took out Roman Reigns, leaving Jey Uso battered and competing in the Fatal 4-Way main event with injured ribs. On RAW, Jey once again clashed with The Vision while teaming up with LA Knight, but tensions boiled over after a chaotic brawl with Reed and Breakker. In the main event, Jey stunned fans by spearing Knight, seemingly snapping after weeks of frustration.

Despite the shocking turn, Jimmy Uso came to his brother’s aid earlier in the night, and the two later issued a challenge to Reed and Breakker for a tag team showdown at Wrestlepalooza on September 20. Following the episode, Jey dropped a cryptic three-word message on Jimmy’s Instagram post: “Lead. I follow.” The comment suggests Jey may be ready to let his twin take charge of their future, but with growing tension surrounding The Vision and LA Knight, the road to Wrestlepalooza looks more complicated than ever for the Usos.

Triple H has confirmed that a WWE legend will be returning this Friday, ending a stretch of absence from the company. While Rey Mysterio has made sporadic appearances for WWE in recent months, his focus has largely been outside the Stamford-based promotion. His last notable outing came at AAA TripleMania, where he found himself caught in chants referencing Alberto Del Rio and even admitted he would try to help the controversial star find a way back to WWE.

Now, Mysterio is officially set to make his presence felt again. Triple H revealed that WWE and Lucha Libre AAA are collaborating for a special presentation, sharing a promotional poster with Rey prominently featured at the forefront. Given his ongoing appearances at AAA shows, the poster all but confirms Mysterio’s return to WWE programming this Friday, sparking excitement among fans eager to see the Hall of Famer step back into the spotlight.

Braun Strowman has provided an update on the injury he revealed earlier today, confirming the extent of the damage and how it happened. The former Universal Champion initially posted an Instagram story showing an X-ray of his broken wrist, accompanied by an angry emoji to express his frustration. He clarified at the time that the scan was indeed of his own hand, sparking concern among fans.

In a follow-up Instagram post, Strowman explained that he had fractured his fifth metatarsal bone after his hand got twisted in the collar of one of his dogs while trying to break up a fight. The injury will require surgery, and Strowman confirmed he is scheduled to see a specialist for further evaluation. The setback is another tough blow for The Monster Among Men, who was released from WWE earlier this year and has been navigating life outside the company.

FROM THE RUMOR MILL

WrestleMania 43 may be heading to Saudi Arabia, marking the first time in WWE history that its biggest annual event would take place outside the United States. The news has shocked fans worldwide after reports surfaced suggesting the blockbuster show is being lined up for the Middle East. According to PWInsider, a press release initially circulated in Arabic announced the move before being quickly pulled, leaving the wrestling community buzzing with speculation.

Fightful Select has since provided further clarification, citing a Snapchat video from Saudi adviser Turki Alalshikh, who confirmed that WrestleMania is planned for 2027 in Saudi Arabia. If finalized, the decision would represent a seismic shift for WWE’s global strategy, as WrestleMania has traditionally been staged in major U.S. stadiums. The potential move highlights Saudi Arabia’s growing influence in the sports entertainment world and could redefine how WWE presents its biggest spectacle of the year.

AJ Styles once again came up short in his pursuit of the WWE Intercontinental Championship, falling to Dominik Mysterio on last week’s episode of RAW. Their rematch followed Styles’ initial title shot at SummerSlam 2025, where Dirty Dom retained the gold by resorting to underhanded tactics. The second bout ended in controversy as well, with El Grande Americano interfering and costing Styles the victory. However, The Phenomenal One evened the score this week by defeating El Grande in a singles match, though his championship aspirations remain unfulfilled.

At 48, Styles’ path back to the Intercontinental Title looks increasingly uncertain, especially with The Judgment Day backing Mysterio. Yet backstage tension between Dominik and Finn Bálor could open the door for a dramatic twist. To regain momentum, Styles may be considering a heel turn and a potential reunion with Bálor and JD McDonagh, effectively reforming the Bullet Club under WWE’s banner. Such a move would not only reinvigorate Styles’ character but also tilt the balance of power in RAW’s ongoing faction wars.

Wrestlepalooza 2025 is set to make history as the first WWE Premium Live Event to stream on ESPN, marking a new era for the company’s distribution. The inaugural event, scheduled for September 20, will feature a headline clash between legendary rivals Brock Lesnar and John Cena in what could be one of their final encounters. With less than 10 days to go, only four matches have been officially announced, but WWE is expected to add at least one more bout on RAW or SmackDown before the show.

Speculation remains high that Cody Rhodes will defend the Undisputed WWE Championship, as he has not competed since SummerSlam. Alongside the potential title defense, the card already boasts major attractions: Stephanie Vaquer vs. IYO SKY for the vacant Women’s World Championship, CM Punk & AJ Lee vs. Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch, and The Usos vs. Bronson Reed & Bron Breakker. With several storyline twists building, fans could witness up to four heel turns and two face turns during the event, making Wrestlepalooza a night of both historic firsts and shocking moments.
