Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair will also be present on the red brand. The duo will celebrate their newly won WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.

#2. Rhea Ripley hypes her victory at Bash in Berlin
Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest picked up the win in their mixed tag team match at Bash in Berlin as they defeated Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan. The Eradicator hyped up her victory after pinning the Women’s World Champion. She took her Instagram handle to send a message:

The feud between the two sides does not look to be over. Rhea is likely to get a title opportunity soon as she pinned the reigning champion at Bash in Berlin.

#3. WWE analyst Sam Roberts believes Randy Orton will soon turn heel
While many expected Kevin Owens to turn heel at Bash in Berlin and betray Cody Rhodes, the Prizefighter accepted the defeat with honor and even congratulated The American Nightmare. However, the storyline looks far from over, with KO embracing his villainous side seemingly being the result.

WWE analyst Sam Roberts, however, went a step further and stated that he sees Randy Orton turning on Cody Rhodes as well.

I love the idea that this is the slow progression of Kevin Owens turning, right? And I feel like because it’s being done slowly, it can take us through Bad Blood, maybe into Survivor Series, and just as we’re getting towards that end of the year, Cody can get done with Kevin Owens, go, ‘Randy, can you believe how maniacal Kevin Owens became?’ And then Randy turns on Cody too,” he said.
Randy Orton himself was on the losing end of his match against Gunther at Bash in Berlin. The Viper is not the one to rest on his laurels and is expected to bounce back stronger than ever.

#4. Odyssey Jones removed from the WWE roster
Odyssey Jones recently made his return to WWE programming after over a year since getting drafted to the main roster. However, it seems like his return could be cut short as the star was recently removed from the company’s official roster page.

We have still received no news about his status. However, often stars are removed from the roster page after getting released from the company.
