The world of WWE is abuzz with exciting news, rumors, and developments. From the impending return of the Beast Incarnate to the departure of a legendary figure, this update has it all. Let’s go into the latest from the world of sports entertainment.
In a shocking move, WWE has decided not to renew the contract of a major name, none other than Jerry “The King” Lawler. Lawler, who has been associated with the company for over three decades, has played multiple roles, including in-ring action.
The King has been dealing with health issues in recent months, but recently provided a positive update. His departure marks the end of an era, and fans will surely miss his presence.
Meanwhile, Kevin Owens has revealed that his current contract is set to expire in nine months. However, the Prizefighter has indicated that he has no intention of leaving WWE, suggesting that he will likely ink a new deal with the company. Owens was in action at Backlash, where he teamed up with Randy Orton in a losing cause against Tama Tonga and Solo Sikoa. The event also saw the debut of Tanga Loa, who has joined the Bloodline faction.
Brock Lesnar, who has been on a sabbatical since losing to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2023, is expected to return to WWE programming. Lesnar was seemingly referenced in the Janel Grant lawsuit, leading to the company distancing itself from him.
However, Triple H has clarified that the Beast Incarnate is still with WWE, and his return is imminent. In fact, Lesnar was referenced at the company’s recently concluded premium live event, where Cody Rhodes used a Kimura Lock on AJ Styles. The Beast Incarnate is likely to be one of Cody’s future challengers.
In other news, this week’s edition of Monday Night RAW will feature a massive eight-match card, one of the largest advertised cards in the show’s 31-year history. The King and Queen of the Ring tournaments will also kick off on the red brand, with eight first-round matches set to take place tonight. With so much happening in WWE, fans are in for a treat in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more updates from the world of sports entertainment.
