<p>WWE&#8217;s episode of Raw was streamed live from Raleigh, North Carolina this week, but it appears that this was never clarified as part of the show. </p>



<p>According to a report by <a href="http://www.f4wonline.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">The Wrestling Observer,</a> this was because WWE banned their commentary team from saying the word &#8220;Raleigh&#8221; because they don&#8217;t think that the name sounds prestigious enough. This is now another term that has been added to the list of banned words in WWE. </p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/K0PncTr.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption>Image via Twitter</figcaption></figure>



<p>Sasha Banks was scheduled to take on Bianca Belair for the SmackDown Women&#8217;s Championship at SummerSlam before she was sidelined for an unknown reason. </p>



<p>Becky Lynch has since returned and taken her place in the title picture, with reports suggesting that The Boss is yet to be cleared. According to a report by <a href="https://twitter.com/RajGiri_303/status/1439727996458262531" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Raj Giri of WrestlingInc.</a> Banks is cleared but the company has nothing for her creatively at the moment. </p>



<p>In an update to these rumors, Banks has been backstage at several recent WWE events but is yet to appear on-screen. </p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/rriTxNu.jpg" alt=""/></figure>



<p>Finn Balor takes on Roman Reigns this weekend at Extreme Rules for the Universal Championship and The Demon will be making his in-ring return. </p>



<p>At recent house shows in the United Kingdom, Finn Balor and Seth Rollins have been getting reacquainted and this could now be the feud moving forward on SmackDown. Of course, Edge and Rollins have to finish their feud first, but there&#8217;s now a rumor by <a href="https://www.ibtimes.com/wwe-rumors-demon-could-get-surprise-visit-messiah-extreme-rules-2021-3303181" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">IBTimes</a> that suggests that Rollins could interfere in the match between the two men on Sunday night. </p>



<p>Rollins himself doesn&#8217;t have a match at Extreme Rules, but it could set up a bout for the two men at Crown Jewel next month if he was to cost The Demon the WWE Championship. </p>







<h2 class="wp-block-heading">WWE Was Once Interested in Signing Britt Baker </h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/GtudZYn.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption>Image via Twitter</figcaption></figure>



<p>Britt Baker is the current AEW Women&#8217;s Champion and has been one of the stand-out female wrestlers in the company over the past few years. Baker was also the first female who was signed to AEW when the promotion was starting up, which could be why WWE was once interested in the star. </p>



<p>The current Champion has wrestled for WWE several times and according to a report by <a href="https://www.fightful.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Fightful Select,</a> the company was interested in signing her recently, but this was when WWE was still under the impression that Adam Cole&#8217;s contract expires in late 2021.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/beNxlnk.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption>Image via WWE</figcaption></figure>



<p>Bray Wyatt&#8217;s non-compete clause from WWE isn&#8217;t up until the end of October, but that hasn&#8217;t stopped speculation that the former star could debut for AEW next week. </p>



<p>The company will be in Rochester, New York, which is Brodie Lee&#8217;s hometown and it&#8217;s believed that this would be the perfect place for Wyatt to start his journey in AEW. </p>



<p>It&#8217;s unclear if Wyatt would be able to appear for AEW when his non-compete clause is still in effect, but stranger things have happened in the wrestling world. </p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/qZoryVR.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption>Image via WWE</figcaption></figure>



<p>Cameron Grimes has been stealing the show on NXT now for more than a year, but it appears that a main roster call-up may not be in his future. </p>



<p>Despite showing his versatility and being one of the companies most dependable stars, the most recent episode of The Wrestling Observer noted that WWE doesn&#8217;t see him as a main roster guy. </p>



<p>Some superstars prefer to remain in NXT for much of their career, and given this news, this could be the case for Grimes. </p>
