AEW is set to host its biggest wrestling event ever later this year at Wembley Stadium in London. The company is bound to pull out all the stops to make the event memorable. With Goldberg now a free agent, it wouldn't be shocking if Tony Khan tries to bring The former WCW star into the fold.
#3. Details on heat against Seth Rollins after he
allegedly went off script
Seth Rollins' booking on RAW after WrestleMania 39 has caused a
significant buzz in the wrestling world. It was later stated by Freddie Prinze
Jr. that the star was furious over the plans changing and walked out of RAW.
Fightful Select recently provided an update on the situation, noting that there are no backstage issues between Seth Rollins and the company.

soon
Alexa Bliss has been out of action since her defeat against Bianca
Belair at Royal Rumble. The former SmackDown Women's Champion recently

Bliss looked all set to get involved in a storyline with Uncle Howdy and Bray Wyatt before her hiatus. With The Eater of the Worlds also currently out of action, the duo could return together.
#1. Female locker room was unhappy following WWE
RAW
Vince McMahon's return to the creative team on the RAW after
WrestleMania caused a major uproar. However, the 77-year-old has not been
present backstage for the shows since then, with Nick Khan stressing that
creative power lies with Triple H.
Fightful Select reported that several changes were made to this week's RAW, which resulted in several female stars being unhappy. One of the scrapped segments involved Damage CTRL.

It's still unclear
if Vince McMahon made last-minute changes or if the Triple H-led creative was
behind it.
