6. Viktor Re-Packaged
WWE wrestler Viktor, who is one half of The Ascension, has been re-packaged by the WWE in the absence of his tag team partner, Konnor (who got suspended for WWE’s Wellness Policy Violation).
Viktor is now being billed as “The Demonic Viktor” and his face paint has been changed as well. He lost to Zack Ryder on this week’s WWE Main Event.
5. Update on The Future of NXT Takeover Series
With the next NXT Takeover event being named “The End”, there’s speculation that WWE might be doing away with Takeover specials. However, that’s not the case.
The name “The End” likely refers to the possibility of the Samoa Joe – Finn Balor feud coming to an end once an for all.
