Below are some top WWE news stories of the day, involving Ryback and Roxanne Perez.
• As we reported before, the Wrestling Observer and Tony Khan accused WWE of supplying false viewership number for AEW Collision to the media to hurt All Elite Wrestling.
Former Intercontinental Champion Ryback tweeted the following about it:
“WWE is notorious for releasing false information not only on talent but also on other wrestling promotions. The day I walked out and told them to f*** off, it was almost immediately put out that ‘I got sent home’. They then used their partner publications to push out false information about me and damage my reputation. Much of that got pulled after legal action was threatened.
They had my social media illegally suppressed after I refused to give them my accounts with an NDA. These people are pure evil and will do anything to make others’ lives more difficult and persuade their hardcore brainwashed faithful to start attacking.
The truth always wins, and you must not back down from the evil empire or its glum gremlin bleacher bums.”

• At last night’s NXT Battleground 2024 premium live event, Roxanne Perez defeated TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace to retain the NXT Women’s Championship.
Tatum Paxley came out during the match and tried to steal Grace’s TNA Title. TNA wrestler Ash By Elegance (fka Dana Brooke) returned to WWE TV and stopped Paxley. Jordynne took both of them out. Due to this distraction, Roxanne put away Grace to retain her Title.
After the show, Roxanne was bragging about her win in a backstage interview and was interrupted by RAW star CM Punk.
Punk told her the following:
“Hold up, just calm down for one second. I’m sorry to burst in here. Listen, you’re the champion for a reason. You’re head and shoulders above all these women here. You’re head and shoulders above all the TNA Knockouts. But tonight, you got lucky. I need you to focus on this; I need you to be who you are. I need you to be The Prodigy. You don’t need anything else.”
Perez replied:
“Thanks for the advice. What a hypocrite, huh?”
