1. More update on Cesaro’s situation 

It was earlier reported that WWE Superstar Cesaro has quietly left WWE and chose not to re-sign with the company, and it was also said that WWE did offer Cesaro a contract, but he decided to walk away. However, according to Fightful Select, it appears that Cesaro had mentioned his deal ending to some members of the WWE roster, and at that time, he wasn’t sure if he was going to re-sign.

Many people in WWE reacted with “disappointment and dismay” at the news of Cesaro leaving, as he is among the most well-regarded people on the roster.

Another report suggested that WWE didn’t push him recently as there was “no indication that he would re-sign”. Some sources have said that Cesaro wasn’t happy with his booking, but the door is still open for him to re-sign with WWE.

2. Rey Fenix to miss AEW Revolution PPV

According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Rey Fenis will need three more weeks before he’s ready to return to in-ring action.

3. AEW’s surprise decision

AEW Superstar Lio Rush announced that his AEW contract is expiring, and he will soon be a free agent. Multiple sites have also reported that there will be more departures from the company in the coming weeks.
