Welcome to the latest edition of WWE News Roundup, where we bring you the latest updates on the world of professional wrestling. In today’s article, we’ll be discussing some exciting happenings involving Gunther, Rhea Ripley, Rey Mysterio, and Dominik Mysterio. So, let’s dive in!
Gunther’s Intercontinental Championship
Gunther has been a dominant force in WWE, successfully defending his Intercontinental Championship since his debut in 2022. Many wrestlers have expressed their desire to challenge him for the title, and the latest name to join the list is Ivar of the Viking Raiders. With his partner sidelined due to injury, Ivar has been making a name for himself as a singles star and has set his sights on Gunther’s championship.
Gunther’s reign as Intercontinental Champion has been impressive, defeating top competitors like Chad Gable, Tommaso Ciampa, and Bronson Reed. He has already secured the title for the longest reign in history.
Rey Mysterio’s Retirement Plans
Rey Mysterio, a true legend in WWE, has achieved numerous accolades throughout his illustrious career. However, the time is approaching for him to hang up his boots. In a recent interview, the current United States Champion revealed that he plans to retire within the next year and a half or two year:
“I’m hoping that it can be within the next year and a half or two, maybe,” he said.
Rey Mysterio’s upcoming title defense against Logan Paul adds another layer to his final run in WWE. The confrontation with Paul stemmed from a verbal challenge thrown by Paul during a boxing event. Mysterio claimed the United States Championship a few months ago after defeating Austin Theory.
Rhea Ripley’s Message After Judgment Day’s Victory
Judgment Day once again emerged victorious in the WWE RAW Tag Team Championship, thanks to the assistance of Jimmy Uso. All four members of the group are now champions, and Rhea Ripley couldn’t contain her excitement. She took to social media to post a picture of the group while subtly taunting Jey Uso.
Rhea Ripley, the current Women’s World Champion, will put her title on the line at Crown Jewel in a Fatal-Five Way match. Her challengers in this high-stakes match are Nia Jax, Raquel Rodriguez, Zoey Stark, and Shayna Baszler.
Dominik Mysterio’s Backstage Altercation
While the other members of Judgment Day were in action on the latest episode of RAW, Dominik Mysterio found himself involved in a backstage confrontation. Although it wasn’t featured on TV, Dominik got into a scuffle with Nathan Frazer, who was present for Main Event tapings. The skirmish began when Dominik interrupted Frazer’s backstage promo, leading to a physical altercation between the two. It seems that a clash between the two men for Dominik’s NXT North American Championship is on the horizon.
