WWE News Roundup: Health Scare for a Legend, Drew McIntyre’s Shocking Return, and Big Plans for Roman Reigns & Brock Lesnar
The WWE universe is buzzing with fresh rumors and backstage updates as Survivor Series: WarGames 2025 approaches. From a health update on Ric Flair to a possible blockbuster match featuring Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, here’s everything you need to know from this week in WWE.
🩺 Ric Flair’s Health Raises Concern
Wrestling fans were surprised when Ric Flair didn’t appear at AEW’s Blood & Guts event alongside Ricky Steamboat as expected. Reports from Wrestling Observer Radio reveal that The Nature Boy did attend the show but had to leave early due to pain following recent rotator cuff surgery.
Flair reportedly greeted fans in attendance before quietly exiting, sparking concern among the wrestling community. Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery for the 16-time world champion.
👋 D-Von Dudley Confirms His Retirement for Good
WWE and ECW legend D-Von Dudley has officially hung up his boots. Teaming up with Bully Ray one last time, the Dudley Boyz faced The Hardy Boyz at TNA Bound For Glory 2025 in what D-Von called the perfect sendoff.
Speaking with Chris Jericho on Talk is Jericho, D-Von admitted that his final WWE run didn’t sit right with him—but this farewell match gave him the closure he needed:
“When we left WWE, I wasn’t satisfied. But this last match — it erased all of that. I can finally say, this is it for me.”
After decades of breaking tables and creating unforgettable moments, D-Von has truly earned his rest.
⚔️ Roman Reigns & Brock Lesnar Rumored for Survivor Series WarGames
Both Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar have been missing from WWE TV lately, but that could change soon. Reports suggest the two megastars are being considered for the Men’s Survivor Series: WarGames Match.
Originally, CM Punk, Jey Uso, Roman Reigns, Jacob Fatu, and either Jimmy Uso or LA Knight were set to team up. But with Fatu sidelined due to injury, Cody Rhodes might be stepping into his spot.
Meanwhile, The Vision — now led by Paul Heyman and featuring Logan Paul, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed — could be joined by Brock Lesnar himself.
If that happens, Survivor Series 2025 could become one of the most explosive matchups in recent WWE history.
🤝 Logan Paul Officially Joins The Vision
Logan Paul has made it official: he’s siding with Paul Heyman’s faction, The Vision. In his latest vlog, The Maverick confirmed his alliance with Heyman, calling it “the smartest move any WWE star could make.”
“Aligning with Paul Heyman is genius. He’s the Oracle — yeah, he’s done some scummy stuff, but if you ain’t cheating, you ain’t trying,” said Logan with his trademark smirk.
Now, all eyes are on who else might join The Vision heading into Survivor Series: WarGames 2025.
🔥 Drew McIntyre’s WWE Suspension Might Be Ending Soon
Last week on SmackDown, Drew McIntyre caused chaos by interfering in Cody Rhodes’ title defense against Aleister Black. After taking out the referee with a devastating Claymore, McIntyre was suspended by GM Nick Aldis.
But according to Self Made’s Ibou, McIntyre’s suspension might not last long. Inside sources suggest WWE creative is already discussing his return as part of the WarGames lineup.
Given his darker, more ruthless persona lately, it wouldn’t be surprising if McIntyre joined Logan Paul and The Vision in their war against Team Reigns.
💬 Final Take
With Survivor Series: WarGames just around the corner, WWE is clearly building toward a massive showdown. Between legends retiring, icons returning, and shocking new alliances forming, this year’s event could redefine the WWE landscape once again.
Stay tuned — because the road to Survivor Series just got a lot more interesting.
