Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, involving Rhea Ripley, CM Punk, Seth Rollins & more.
• Charlotte Flair is currently out of action with a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus. In June, she posted the following about her recovery:
“Today, was my first biodex (isokinetic training) test! I needed to be in the 40 percent or less deficit for strength compared to my non surgical leg…
I had 20 percent or less quad strength and in some of the measurements I was stronger in my surgical leg…
I MISS YOU GUYS & can’t wait to lace my boots again!”
In an update, PWNexus is reporting that Charlotte is set to get cleared to return to in-ring action by November.
During an interview with SK Wrestling, Rhea Ripley was asked about Charlotte’s return and here’s what Mami said:
“Good luck. Mami is bigger and better than ever, and I beat you at WrestleMania 39, so you best believe that I can do it again. I love you, princess. Get back, and be safe because Mami’s gonna put you back down.”

• Jackie Redmond shared a video where she asked WWE stars if they watch the reality series Love Island. CM Punk and Seth Rollins criticized the show, while Samantha Irvin mentioned she watches a different reality series. Xavier Woods, however, revealed that he has watched both Love Island and Love Is Blind.
You can read their responses below:
Seth Rollins: F**k no. It’s disgusting. It’s trash, dawg. No (Becky Lynch doesn’t watch it). We’re serious people, alright? Serious people. Alright, like Bottoms. You ever seen the movie Bottoms?
Damian Priest: No.
CM Punk: Absolutely not. I can’t do trash TV. That’s why I like wrestling, there’s plenty of trash.
Samantha Irvin: No. I’m a Flavor Of Love girl.
Xavier Woods: I have seen Love Island but I don’t regularly watch it. I watched the one where they’re behind — Love Is Blind. The one where the girl told him you’re going to choke when you see me. Then the one guy stayed out till 3 AM with the other girl when he was supposed to be there. When she told his mom it was like, if it was me, I would’ve killed you. You have to check in. Call home.
