TOP STORIES TODAY
Triple H’s appearance at WWE NXT Homecoming made waves, as the Chief Content Officer opened the show with a fiery promo that set the tone for the night. He hyped the significance of Homecoming and acknowledged the star power slated to return, including Charlotte Flair, Rhea Ripley, Stephanie Vaquer, Finn Balor, and Bianca Belair. His words reinforced just how big this special edition of NXT was meant to be, blurring the lines between developmental and main roster once again.
The moment became even more intriguing when Shawn Michaels joined him in the ring. HBK praised Triple H for the massive business deals he has secured for WWE, which have boosted not only the main roster but also NXT. However, things took a twist when The Game hinted at the possibility of stepping back into the fold in NXT—perhaps even replacing Michaels at the helm of the brand. This tease left fans buzzing with speculation about whether Triple H could once again get directly involved in shaping NXT’s creative direction.
 Paul Heyman has finally shed light on the real reason behind his absence from WWE RAW, revealing that his health situation is more serious than initially believed. While WWE originally announced that he suffered a larynx contusion after Roman Reigns locked him in a guillotine choke at Clash in Paris, Heyman has now confirmed additional complications. During his appearance on ESPN’s First Take, the WWE Hall of Famer revealed that he burst blood vessels in his left eye due to the attack. At 60, he admitted he is uncertain whether the damage will be permanent, adding an element of concern to his recovery. This update not only highlights the brutality of Reigns’ assault but also raises questions about Heyman’s future role on WWE television. |  The Prince returns at WWE NXT: Homecoming; far cry from Judgment Day's Finn Balor Finn Bálor made a surprise return to NXT during the Homecoming Premium Live Event, reminding fans of his roots in the black and gold brand. Lexis King had been in the middle of a promo, insulting NXT’s golden era and issuing a challenge to Myles Borne in a Lights Out Match, when Balor’s Catch Your Breath theme hit to a thunderous reaction. Unlike his Judgment Day persona on RAW, Bálor embraced his “Prince” character once more, playing to the fans and soaking in the chants, effectively turning babyface for the night. Balor’s return wasn’t just symbolic—he directly influenced the match. While King was distracted by the shock of Bálor’s entrance, Myles Borne blindsided him in the ring. Balor then joined the fray, delivering his signature Coup de Grâce to the loud approval of the crowd. The moment highlighted Bálor’s legacy in NXT while setting the tone for Homecoming’s blend of nostalgia and high-stakes drama. |
FROM THE RUMOR MILL
Andrade’s unexpected WWE release has shifted plans within the company, especially concerning Rey Fénix. Reports suggest that WWE management had initially planned to feature Andrade and Fénix as a tag team on SmackDown, but those ideas were scrapped once Andrade was let go due to a disciplinary issue. His profile was quietly moved to the alumni section of WWE’s website, confirming the end of his second stint with the company.
Following this, internal discussions have reportedly turned toward reuniting the Lucha Brothers, Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fénix. While WWE had previously kept the two on separate brands to push them individually, the duo’s established reputation as one of the world’s top tag teams makes the reunion a natural direction. Although not confirmed as imminent, WWE is now exploring this option to give Fénix strong creative direction after the abrupt change in plans.

On the September 1 episode of RAW, Jimmy Uso stepped in to save his twin brother Jey Uso from a beatdown at the hands of Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, setting up their clash at Wrestlepalooza. However, the reunion between the Usos may not last long. Since taking Roman Reigns’ advice, Jey has adopted a more self-centered attitude, focusing on the family’s legacy rather than teamwork. This shift has caused friction with Jimmy, who recently accused his brother of sounding too much like The Tribal Chief.
The tension grew further when Jimmy initially declined LA Knight’s offer to team up but later changed his mind after Jey tried to forbid him from doing so. Their eventual partnership highlighted just how strained the brothers’ relationship has become. With the Usos heading into Wrestlepalooza on unstable ground, a potential betrayal by Jey could be on the horizon. Such a turn would pave the way for WWE to introduce Jacob Fatu to the red brand, where he could come to Jimmy’s aid and add a dramatic new wrinkle to the Bloodline saga.
