Below are some top WWE news stories of the day, featuring The Rock, Trish Stratus & more.
• As we reported before, former World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins will take a month off after his WrestleMania 40 loss. Former WWE Champion Roman Reigns is expected to be on a lengthy hiatus as well.
According to ProWrestlingScoops, Becky Lynch is set to take a break from WWE TV as well. She lost to Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania XL.
• Speculation is rife about a potential showdown between The Rock and Cody Rhodes, with WrestleMania 41 being the preferred battleground. However, this plan has yet to be finalized, as Rock retains considerable creative control over his wrestling endeavors.
While there’s talk of Rock possibly participating in a match later this year, nothing is set in stone. His commitments to filming a movie extend through July, making any potential wrestling appearances uncertain.
The recent tease of a Rock vs. Cody confrontation on RAW stirred excitement among fans, despite the absence of a championship stipulation. Currently, there’s no definitive plan regarding the duration of Cody Rhodes’ championship reign.
Interestingly, the Wrestling Observer reports that Rock has floated ideas about defending his self-proclaimed “People’s Championship”, sparking speculation about a potential Title vs. Title scenario. This was further fueled by a symbolic exchange of belts between Rock and Cody during a recent RAW segment.
It’s been suggested that Rock favors a slow-burn approach, envisioning a year-long buildup to the anticipated clash. Had it not been for an injury during his second match against John Cena in 2013, Rock allegedly planned to kickstart a storyline with Brock Lesnar by being laid out by The Beast on RAW after WrestleMania 29, setting the stage for a year-long narrative arc.
• Good news for fans of WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus – she’s still got it at 48! She posted the following photo to promote her appearance in Huntsville, Alabama this weekend:
