Here at the daily WWE News Roundup, we strive to bring you the most intriguing news from the world of sports and entertainment. Today’s show is about big names like Rob Van Dam, who used to be WWE Champion, Triple H, and Cody Rhodes.
Cody Rhodes is all set to face Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam on August 5th, which is this weekend. This will be their third match, and it’s likely that it will end their feud, which began after WrestleMania 39. People think that when Rhodes comes to WWE, he might fight a top free agent.
#1. If Cody Rhodes joins WWE, will he fight Nick Aldis?
Nick Aldis is a highly sought-after free agent who just left IMPACT Wrestling. There is a lot of talk about him in the wrestling world. The 36-year-old wrestler is reportedly thinking about joining with either WWE or AEW.
There are also rumors that Triple H wants him on board. Teddy Long said that if Aldis joins WWE, he could have a fight with Cody Rhodes in the future:

“I’d let Brock and Cody… let that play out and see where they’re gonna go with that and then save Nick Aldis for after SummerSlam… I’d set him up for next year’s WrestleMania. That’s what I’d do,” said Teddy Long
Nick Aldis was a TNA and NWA World Champion in the past. He is thought to be one of the best free agents in professional wrestling right now. If he joined the company, it would be a big win for both of them.
#2. Information about Triple H’s problems with Rob Van Dam behind the scenes
On his podcast “One of a Kind,” former WWE World Champion Rob Van Dam talked about his early relationship with Triple H. The former ECW Champion said that during talks, people told him that The Game was anti-RVD, which he did not like. He also said that Triple H would laugh at him because he thought Van Dam didn’t get it.
”I felt that he was — I don’t want to say pretentious — but I felt like he would treat me in a way that was tongue-in-cheek, disrespectful where he thought it was going over my head, but it wasn’t.” said Van Dam
Even though he had problems with Triple H, RVD became a WWE Champion. The Hall of Famer just started with AEW, and at All In, he will face Jack Perry.

#3. People think that Triple H could fire Matt Riddle
On the most recent show of RAW, Ludwig Kaiser of Imperium beat Matt Riddle, which was too bad. Insider Dave Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio that Matt Riddle may not be getting as much success from the company because of problems in his personal life. Fans also think that the former US Champion is to blame for his fall from grace and that he could be let go soon.
As part of the tag team RK-Bro with Randy Orton, Riddle was getting a lot of attention until last year. But as a music star in 2023, he hasn’t had much success, and it looks like his push has been stopped, or at least put on hold for now.
