Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, involving The Rock, Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar.
• After the angle between The Rock and Cody Rhodes on Friday’s SmackDown, WWE sold a lot of extra tickets for Monday’s RAW.
Here’s what the Wrestling Observer reported:
“A couple of days ago, they had 7,600 tickets out, there [were] over 10,000 people there (on Monday’s RAW).
You don’t move that many tickets from Friday to Monday ever, so whatever it is, people are buying this thing – they are paying to see it.
I think there’s gonna be a ton of people that will be there on Thursday (at the WrestleMania Kickoff media event).”
• WWE is further distancing themselves from Brock Lesnar due to his association with a $ex trafficking lawsuit against Vince McMahon.
Plans involving Lesnar at major events like the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and WrestleMania 40 have already been canceled.
He’s been removed from the WWE 2K Supercard mobile game and his merch is being sold at a discounted rate on WWE Shop, so they can clear it out.
Lesnar’s presence will be minimized in WWE licensee content, with no plans for TV appearances.
In an update, Lesnar was taken off the cover of WWE 2K24 Forty Years of WrestleMania edition.
