Becky Lynch posted that she is extremely sick and can’t appear on RAW to stop this match from happening:
“It is VERY well known that I have an AMAZING immune system. So I find it EXTREMELY SUSPICIOUS that after exposing CORRUPT CARR that she has been refereeing WITHOUT a referee’s license for SOME TIME NOW, I have become EXTREMELY SICK!!!
My personal doctor calling it the WORST stomach bug he has ever seen. ABSOLUTE JOKE and PETTY PEARCE clearly sent their GOON SQUAD to poison me somehow! UNBELIEVABLE!!! (Luckily I will pull through) THEY CLEARLY WANT TO SUPPRESS THE TRUTH!
Unfortunately, I won’t be at Raw this week to STOP this ILLEGAL gauntlet match from happening. BIG TIME BECKS WILL RETURN SOON!”

• WWE Legend Returning To AEW Very Soon
Dustin Rhodes underwent double knee replacement surgery in the summer of 2025, and now, his return is near. Here’s what he said during an interview with Fox News:
“I just had double knee replacements. They’re brand new knees. They’re feeling pretty good. Probably two weeks, three weeks, I’ll be back – TBS, TNT, HBO Max.”
Dustin last wrestled on the July 31st episode of AEW Collision, where he lost the TNT Championship to Kyle Fletcher in a Chicago Street Fight.
Speaking of Dustin, he recently said he has no plans to return to WWE: “Nope! I never got a raise there. What, you want me sitting the bench doing nothing? That ain’t me anymore. I have done the best work of my career with AEW. I love the character Goldust, but he ran its course. I did what I was told and it got me nowhere. No thanks.”
