25 Most Revealing WWE Instagram Posts Of The Week (June 26th)
Benoit remembered, big returns and cruiserweights...
Well, well, well. It seems The Guy has some 'splaining to do. After playing his part in one of the more memorable recent PPV endings that saw Dean Ambrose representing for the weird kids, Reigns was shockingly suspended for a Wellness violation as about 70% of the watching world wondered whether it was a work. It's the PG Era, folks, you don't story-line drugs.
Still at least we're more likely to see a heel turn when he gets back.
The week also saw further suggestions that Kurt Angle is coming back to WWE (along with Carlito and Stevie Richards). Good news for upcoming young talent (provided he's healthy of course). Plus someone on Reddit leaked the supposedly new PPV schedule (including the newly named Clash Of Champions, which is definitely not a mobile game).
Elsewhere, Daniel Bryan returned... as an announcer for CWC, The Rock admitted he almost went to MMA and there were whispers of Cody Rhodes signing a Legends contract. Busy old week for revelations, and through it all the superstars never failed to strike a pose for their social media, offering irresistible glimpses backstage and into their own private lives.
