Lead Rumor: Stephanie Vaquer’s return Stephanie Vaquer made her return to WWE television on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw in Des Moines, Iowa but as it turns out, she was ready to return a whole lot sooner than that. That’s the word from PW Insider, who says she been medically cleared for some time now. WWE chose to hold off on bringing her back until the time was right. They didn’t want to “waste” her big return. What’s more, they didn’t actually finalize the return until the weekend of SummerSlam. That meant a mad dash to get everything ready for Raw on Monday, which included a major staredown with fellow returnee Becky Lynch. Like how they did it? Other rumors floating around Self Made Pro claims Dominik Mysterio is frustrated with his creative in WWE right now, saying he doesn’t understand why his presentation in AAA isn’t being used on the main roster. They also claim there were some in WWE who haven’t been impressed with what they’ve seen from Sol Ruca since her call up. According to PW Insider, Big Cass was “in great spirits” backstage at Raw and genuinely incredibly excited to be back with WWE. They also say CM Punk was at the Performance Center yesterday, though it’s unclear why he was there. What’s more, there’s word that X-Pac is expected to be visiting later this month. Although TNA apparently increased its offer to Mara Sade, Fightful Select says they have sources saying the belief is she will end up in AEW, who is already interested in her services. From PWInsider: “Top Triple H lieutenant” Patrick Dooley “quietly” departed WWE in July around the time others were let go due to budget cuts. Dooley was described as Paul Levesque’s “number two” on all matters outside of creative. Dooley had been with WWE since 2018. His most recent job title was senior VP of Global Strategy & Creative Operations. Got anything to share? You know where to do it.
