Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, involving Vince McMahon, Dominik Mysterio & The Miz.
• As seen on Friday’s episode of SmackDown, Butch went back to his Pete Dunne name that he had in NXT.
When Vince McMahon brought Pete to the WWE main roster on SmackDown in March 2022 as part of The Brawling Brutes, Vince didn’t want him to wrestle matches.
Here’s what former WWE wrestler Mansoor told Muscle Man Malcolm:
“Dude, Vince wanted Butch to be a guy that never wrestles. Vince wanted Butch, Pete Dunne, to be a scrappy little guy, who just attacks people, but he never wanted Butch to actually wrestle a match.”

• As we noted before, The Miz vs. Dominik Mysterio was added to Monday’s RAW. Miz mocked Dirty Dom by tweeting the following:
“Hey @RonKillings, I’m confused. Am I fighting Tom or Nick?”
Dominik had a non-PG response to the former 2-time WWE Champion, as he posted a screenshot of Shawn Michaels mocking a fan by demonstrating a BJ:
