Welcome to the May 7 edition of WWE News Roundup. In today's article, we will look at topics revolving around Bayley and Kevin Owens, among others.
Also, a notable name has confirmed his exit from the company with a heartfelt message. Let's check it out and more without any further ado.
John Cena is currently on his retirement tour and only has 26 more appearances left before he hangs up his boots. The 17-time World Champion is currently advertised for Money in the Bank 2025. However, his opponent is yet to be decided.
WWE analyst Sam Roberts shared his thoughts on the same, noting that he could see Cena reigniting his feud with CM Punk and facing The Best in the World at Money in the Bank.
"Punk and Cena can go back and forth, and then we get to John Cena vs. CM Punk. And maybe Seth Rollins interferes. Whatever happens happens, but John Cena beats CM Punk this time at Money in the Bank."
The past month has not been ideal for Kevin Owens, as he had to give up his WrestleMania 41 match due to an injury. However, The Prizefighter has something to celebrate, as he recently completed 25 years in pro wrestling. It is also KO's birthday today. Hence, the former Universal Champion has multiple reasons to celebrate the day.
Kevin Owens is currently sidelined due to a neck injury. There is no fixed time frame for his return.
Becky Lynch revealed on RAW that she was the one who attacked Bayley before WrestleMania Saturday. However, The Man did not stop there, as she mocked The Role Model's best friend, Mercedes Mone, after she started a paid messaging service for fans.
Bayley seemingly responded to the shots with a cryptic message on social media. The Role Model also posted a photo of her younger self.
"Courage is the mastery of fear," she wrote.
Bayley was slated to be in action at WrestleMania 41, but she was attacked a day before her match. Becky Lynch, who took her place in the bout, revealed on RAW that she was the one who put the former WWE Women's Champion on the sidelines.
Yoshiki Inamura has been a regular face on NXT over the past several months. However, the star confirmed that he was leaving for Japan following another loss on WWE's third brand.
Inamura also sent a heartfelt message to his tag partner, Josh Briggs:
"I know what you're going to say. I disappointed you. Unable to win tonight. I am sorry. I have talked to Ava. Tonight, I'm going back to Japan. Please. I wish I could have been a better partner for you. [Hands Josh Briggs his jacket] Goodbye, my friend."
Yoshiki Inamura is currently signed to Pro Wrestling NOAH. However, he came to WWE last year for an excursion.
