Many people in WWE reacted with “disappointment and dismay” at the news of Cesaro leaving, as he is among the most well-regarded people on the roster.

Another report suggested that WWE didn’t push him recently as there was “no indication that he would re-sign”. Some sources have said that Cesaro wasn’t happy with his booking, but the door is still open for him to re-sign with WWE.

2. Rey Fenix to miss AEW Revolution PPV

According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Rey Fenis will need three more weeks before he’s ready to return to in-ring action.
