Cody Rhodes just trashed Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, so we’ll see what’s going
on there.
We’ll also check out some major injury updates, Maxxine Dupri, Bray Wyatt, and much more
Let’s start things off with some major injury updates to three massive stars
These stars being Liv Morgan, Dakota Kai, and now Mercedes Monay
We’ve been discussing Liv and Dakota’s injuries for a few weeks now, but the details
and the severity of the injuries were previously hidden
But now more details and information is finally coming out
Wrestling Observer reports that Liv Morgan’s injury is shoulder related
It is more on the serious side and could reportedly require surgery
And the second you hear the word “surgery”, you’re instantly talking about missing a
decent amount of time away from the ring
So that’s where the decision came from to strip Liv and Raquel of the titles, it’s
not something that’ll heal itself in a few weeks, and it may very well end up requiring
surgery
And as far as Dakota Kai goes, it’s looking pretty devastating as well
Fightful reports that Dakota Kai’s injury may be even worse than Liv Morgan’s injury
So that itself is just terrible news because if Liv is reportedly on the verge of needing
surgery, that can only mean that Dakota is unfortunately in the same boat
It’s being reported that Dakota Kai suffered a torn ACL, will require surgery, and will
miss anywhere from 6 to 9 months of action
Which is heartbreaking for Dakota and heartbreaking for all of Damage Control because they were
right in the heart of an intriguing storyline for the three of them that will obviously
be put on hold for the time being
And the bad news didn’t stop there, now it’s being reported that Mercedes Monay
recently suffered a broken ankle in her match and had to be carried out of the ring
So it’s some pretty massive losses here with these injuries, but hopefully it’s
speedy recoveries for all of them
———————————-
There was recently a little controversy that went on with the WWE live event that took
place on May 20th in Fayetteville, North Carolina
A few days before this live event was set to go down, WWE started running advertisements
and promotions that Roman Reigns will be at the live show and competing in a match
And this is massive news nowadays because Roman doesn’t really take part in that many
live events anymore
So when it was announced that Roman would be making a rare live appearance at this show,
it made headlines everywhere because it was set to be his first live event in a very long
time
It was even reported that WWE sold several more tickets for the event after announcing
Roman Reigns’ appearance
The ticket sales just picked up so much at the last second just because of Roman himself
But then it was later revealed by WWE that it was actually just a mistake and that Roman
wasn’t scheduled for the event after all
So that was a real life situation that went on there with Roman Reigns being accidentally
promoted for the show
But who was at that event was Cody Rhodes
Cody even referenced Roman’s “cancelled” appearance during a promo at the North Carolina
event and proceeded to take some shots at both Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar
Cody Rhodes had this to say during that show that Roman was mistakenly advertised for,
quote:
“My theory is that the reason that Roman Reigns didn’t want to be here is because
he is afraid of me.
And that theory also extends to my opponent at the Night of Champions, Brock Lesnar.
I’ll make you a promise.
The next time I come back here, my promise is this.
I hope to have defeated Brock Lesnar not just once but twice.
And I also hope that I’ll be wearing some gold around my waist.
Thank you, guys, very much.”
End quote
So Cody is coming right after two of the biggest names on the current roster and not backing
down from them at all, saying that they’re both scared of him and that’s why they avoid
the live events
Cody is looking to pick up another big win over Brock Lesnar and continue his journey
back to some championship gold
Cody didn’t mention what exact title he wanted, but it looks like was referencing
either the undisputed universal title or the world heavyweight title being around his waist
in the near future
Cody is still being discussed to play a key role in possibly both world title pictures
down the line
There’s a lot of buzz and rumors for Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns to have a rematch
at Wrestlemania 40
Will that happen?
Obviously, it’s way too early to tell, but that is something that’s been rumored for
a while now
And if Cody doesn’t get his hands back on Roman, many fans expect Cody to eventually
contend for the new WWE world heavyweight title
As far as feuds and opponents outside of the world titles, there’s been another rumor
going around for a long time that Cody Rhodes and Bray Wyatt may even cross paths and get
something rolling with each other
This has been a rumored feud ever since Bray made a lot of light references to Cody Rhodes
during some of the promos after his return
And it does make sense and there could be some good story to pull there
Cody and Bray go way back all the way to the early seasons of NXT, back when it was a competition
sort of show
Cody was Bray’s pro and mentor for the show, so they spent a lot of time together there
They also both share some similarities such as their previous partnerships with Randy
Orton, both coming from wrestling families, both having fathers that wrestled for the
company, and so on… there’s a lot of similarities there between the two of them and some fans
think that it could make for a great story
Some fans were even discussing the idea of WWE doing something similar to the Firefly
Funhouse match for this feud, so that Cody Rhodes can revisit certain early days of his
career and see that transformation, sort of like how they did it for John Cena
A lot of fans feel like that feud can really work and how even the promos between Bray
and Cody would really paint the perfect picture for the story
So despite the big Wrestlemania loss, big things can still be on the horizon for Cody
Rhodes
He can still get involved in the world title picture, and he can still continue to pile
up these big wins against guys like Brock Lesnar, Bray Wyatt, and so much more
So be on the lookout for more big things being on the way for Cody Rhodes

There appears to be some trouble in paradise for the MMM faction
Everyone knows that the group was originally led by Max Dupri, but was later handed to
Maxxine Dupri
MMM quickly became a hit with fans because they are extremely entertaining and comedic
But it looks like some tension could actually be coming into life of the faction
Maxxine has been fascinated with Otis for several months now and appears to be more
concerned and involved with Otis, rather than her original MMM members of Mace and Mansoor
And now Mace and Mansoor have been running a “Maxxine Is Over” party on social media,
and crossing out now both Max and Maxxine’s faces off of their old picture together
So it looks like Maxxine’s obsession with Otis has caused her own faction to take some
steps away from her
We’ll have to see if Maxxine Dupri could get them all back on the same page and find
a way to include Otis as well
And in some other Maxxine Dupri related news, she recently revealed that she would love
it to play a role in either a rom-com or marvel film
A lot of WWE superstars are starting to get casted in some big Hollywood projects, so
it’s a very achievable goal for Maxxine for sure
