According to Post Wrestling, new legal filings indicate that Vince McMahon played a role in WWE’s creative planning on the road to WrestleMania 39 in 2023, contradicting WWE President Nick Khan’s earlier claim on CNBC that McMahon had no involvement in creative decisions. Below is an exchange that was shown:
Vince McMahon: “Hey guys just double checking. Does Roman and Cody know the new creative re WM and next year ?”
Bruce Prichard: “Not to my knowledge. I don’t know if Paul (Levesque) has had a conversation with either. Roman’s first appearance since we spoke is Friday in DC. Both will be there in person.”

• Update On Dominik Mysterio After Getting Injured At AAA Event
Intercontinental Champion & AAA Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio has been noticeably absent from the post-Christmas WWE Live Events.
Following the AAA Guerra de Titanes event on December 20, reports emerged indicating that Mysterio suffered a shoulder injury. While the exact nature of the injury has not been publicly detailed, it was enough to keep him off the road in the weeks that followed.
According to Bodyslam, Dirty Dom is said to be in good spirits after the injury scare. The belief is that WWE is taking a cautious approach with him rather than rushing him back into action.
There has been no official word yet on when Mysterio is expected to return to action, but the situation is not believed to be serious at this time.

• 2x WWE Hall of Famer Says CM Punk Is “Done,” Calls Him Slow and Criticizes Wrestling in a T-Shirt
Kevin Nash discussed World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk’s current in-ring work, offering a blunt assessment that centered on Punk’s physical decline and overall presentation on WWE television.
Speaking on his Kliq This podcast, the 2-time WWE Hall of Famer questioned whether Punk is still capable of performing at the level expected of a World Heavyweight Champion, and his criticism focused heavily on what he saw during Punk’s recent RAW match.
Nash pointed directly to Punk’s movement and striking, saying, “I watched Punk in the main event of that match last Monday… his punches looked really slow. He looks slow.”
He was particularly critical of Punk wrestling in a T-shirt while positioned as the top champion, framing it as symbolic of a larger problem. “If you’re the heavyweight champion of the WWE and you wrestle in a T-Shirt… Ouch.”
Nash went further, openly questioning whether Punk should still be in a featured role at all. “I think it’s time for him. I think he’s done.” He followed that statement by suggesting a clear booking direction, arguing that WWE should move forward with its younger talent rather than continuing to rely on Punk in marquee positions.
That led Nash to Bron Breakker, whom he believes should decisively defeat Punk. “I think Bron should beat him,” Nash said, reinforcing his stance that the future of the company should take priority over maintaining Punk’s status. In Nash’s view, Punk’s current performances no longer justify protecting him at the expense of emerging stars.
