Below are some top news stories of the day, involving WrestleMania XL and Vince McMahon.
• In the main event of this week’s RAW, Sami Zayn won the Gauntlet match by pinning Chad Gable in the end.
Sami will now face Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 40.
When Sami pinned Gable, Gable’s shoulders were not down on the mat:
This made fans believe that this was done intentionally, which will lead to WWE adding Gable to the Title match at WrestleMania XL.
However, that’s not the case. Here’s what PWScoops reported:
“Gable’s shoulders being up was NOT an angle and the plan going forward is Sami vs. Gunther at WrestleMania.”

• Before his departure from WWE in 2021, Bryan Danielson aka Daniel Bryan was working both as a wrestler and a WWE Creative Team member.
During his appearance at the SXSW panel, Bryan revealed what Vince McMahon once asked him when he was on the creative team:
“This is what we were talking about in WWE. Vince McMahon actually called me one night. I was part of WWE creative, and he called me one night and said, ‘What is AEW doing that we’re not doing?’
I went back and watched 8 straight weeks of TV within the span of 6 days and was like, ‘There is a whole list of things’.
What you don’t want to do in getting to the next level is to change the things that are already working because there are so many things already working. Then, it’s experimenting with different things.”
