ZitatAlles anzeigenBecky Lynch potentially being injured
SmackDown Superstar reportedly injured during match.
Cageside Seats reported recently that the first-ever SmackDown Women's Champion, Becky Lynch, was injured during this week's show. The sources didn't mention when and how the injury occurred, nor did they mention the extent and nature of the injuries that she sustained.
Becky Lynch and the reigning SmackDown Women's Champion, Naomi, took on Ms Money in the Bank, Carmella, and Natalya in a tag team match on this Tuesday. Cageside's report suggests that Becky was injured during this match but it could have also been a collective effect of past injuries as well.
Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer recently reported that Bayley might have been injured and then WWE revealed that she was, indeed, injured and this could be another very similar incident. It would be a disaster for WWE though, if the reports of Becky's injury are true, as two of the biggest female stars on each brand would have been injured in the same week.
According to Cageside Seats, Becky Lynch might have been injured this week during her SmackDown match with Naomi against Natalya and Carmella. this is the second reported WWE injury in two days with Bayley having been injured on RAW.
Becky is not advertised for a match on the SummerSlam but Natalya will face Naomi for the Women's Championship and in case WWE was planning a big segment with Carmella cashing in her contract, Becky might have to sit this one out.
WWE is yet to confirm Becky Lynch's injuries and if the issue is serious enough, we might miss her on SmackDown for a couple of weeks. We will keep you updated with the details as we learn more.
It is a huge coincidence that two former Women's Champions were injured within a span of two days but such is the nature of professional wrestling; even if you take the proper precautions, you might end up injured anyway.

ZitatWWE looking at multiple options for Enzo's future, including 205 Live or even sending him back to NXT
Among ideas we’ve heard [for Enzo] include going back to NXT with the idea it’s away from Vince McMahon and he can be a signature superstar on that brand and help sell tickets to road shows, or a move to 205 Live, where he’s a guy fans react to on a show which struggles to get any fan reaction.
ZitatAlles anzeigenThe incident involving Enzo Amore that "broke the camel's back," according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, was him being overheard on the phone saying things perceived as negative about the wrestling business, while also bragging about how much money he was making [in WWE] to that person.
It was reported last month that Amore had significant backstage heat and was kicked off a tour bus by Roman Reigns. The story was brought up on WWE Network's "Bring it to the Table," where JBL said "the odds are completely against Enzo [Amore]" making it in WWE due to his backstage heat.
In that same episode, Corey Graves revealed he personally doesn't like Amore. He said Amore is exactly like his character 24 hours a day; with him being loud and abrasive and talking about who he partied with in Los Angeles getting old. However, Graves stated he feels Amore is valuable to the company.
There has been talk of moving Amore back to NXT, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The idea is that it would be away from Vince McMahon where he can be a big name talent who can help sell tickets to road shows or they could move him to 205 Live, to help garner reactions on a show that struggles with that. Graves stated on "Bring it to the Table" that he feels Amore should be moved to 205 Live.

ZitatBrock Lesnar's Status for WrestleMania 34 Next Year
According to Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live, sources have indicated that Brock Lesnar is "100% at WrestleMania 34" next year despite rampant rumors that he will be jumping back over to UFC to fight Jon Jones.
The implication of that is that the earliest a Jones/Lesnar match will take place is the summer of 2018 as Lesnar still needs to sit out the remainder of his drug violation suspension, which has something like five months left, not to mention his WWE contract expires the day after WrestleMania.
