welcome back to Sportskeeda Wrestling’s daily WWE News Roundup, where we look at all the trending stories from the pro wrestling world.
Today’s lineup, unfortunately, begins on a sad note as a former world champion revealed that he was recently involved in a road accident.
Elsewhere, we also have a potential spoiler regarding Roman Reigns’ championship reign coming to a surprising end. A top WWE superstar also opened up on Randy Orton’s injury status and when fans can expect The Viper to return to action.
The latest WWE News Roundup concludes with a current superstar shutting down the possibility of an iconic faction’s reunion.
Braun Strowman, aka Adam Scherr, was recently involved in a vehicular motor vehicle accident.
The former WWE star took to Twitter to release a horrifying image of the wreckage of the crash. The photo shows Strowman’s boat and truck suffering severe damage during the accident, and it naturally raised concern among fans online.
Strowman and the people traveling with him, fortunately, didn’t sustain any injuries, as he revealed below in his social media post:
Braun Strowman was astonishingly released from WWE in June 2021 after eight successful years with the company.
Since his untimely WWE departure, the former Universal Champion has primarily been involved with Control Your Narrative (CYN), a promotion helmed by his friend and former WWE colleague, EC3.
The 38-year-old superstar is one of CYN’s most recognizable talents and hopes the company can become a significant entity during the streaming era of wrestling programming.

The photo of the figure has been circulating all across the internet. While there’s no confirmation, several fans have taken it as a hint toward Brock Lesnar’s victory at SummerSlam.
It should be noted that there is no certainty regarding the creative direction as Roman Reigns is still listed as the odds-on favorite heading into the premium live event.
Reigns and Lesnar’s SummerSlam showdown has been advertised as the final match of their rivalry. As shocking as it may seem in the grander scheme of things, the WWE Univers should not be surprised if Lesnar dethrones Reigns at SummerSlam.
The Shield will always be remembered as one of the most influential factions in wrestling history. The Hounds of Justice have not gotten together since Jon Moxley (fkaDean Ambrose) left Vince McMahon’s company in 2019.
During a recent chat with Digital Spy, Seth Rollins didn’t sound too optimistic about a future reunion. The RAW superstar was honest with his assessment and did not foresee him sharing the ring again with Roman Reigns and Jon Moxley as a stable.
Here’s what Rollins stated about a possible Shield reunion:
