Below are some top WWE news stories of the day.
• WrestleMania 41 ticket prices have raised eyebrows, with costs ranging from $400 to $15,000 depending on seat location, prompting accusations of price gouging.
Despite this, 2-time WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash defended the price increase on his podcast by comparing it to the high cost of front-row seats at a Taylor Swift concert, which can reach $8,000.
Nash suggested that, given WrestleMania’s unique two-night event in Las Vegas, the prices are justified for fans looking for premium experiences.
While many tickets, including front-row seats, are still available, the potential appearance of The Rock may drive demand, and last-minute discounts could reduce the number of unsold tickets closer to the event.
Here’s what Nash said:
“Let’s look at front row for Taylor Swift someplace. Let’s see what we’ve got here. What’s a front row in the middle going to cost you there? $8,000?
So, I guess you’ve got to look at it that way. I mean, that’s an $8,200 ticket every night of the week, and this is a once-a-year, two-night occasion in Vegas. So, you gotta look, I mean, you want to be a baller.”

• WWE has ended its long-standing partnership with Susan G. Komen for breast cancer awareness and research following the company’s merger with UFC under Endeavor.
For years, WWE heavily promoted this partnership through televised campaigns and special merchandise.
The decision aligns with criticism Komen has faced for “pinkwashing,” where organizations are accused of using minimal donations or the pink ribbon symbol for publicity, with only a small portion of funds going toward research, treatment, and screenings.
Notably, CM Punk criticized Komen in 2015, labeling it a “scam” and urging people to research such organizations before donating.
