Below are some top news stories of the day, involving The Rock and All Elite Wrestling.
• The WWE crew is now in Australia for this Saturday’s Elimination Chamber 2024 premium live event.
WWE Champion Roman Reigns recently said that he won’t appear at this PLE, but will send Paul Heyman to the event, so he can appear on The Grayson Waller Effect to confront Cody Rhodes & World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.
In a new video posted by WWE, The Rock said he won’t be traveling to Perth, but then noted that he would arrive there before the Cody-Seth-Grayson segment ends if Cody & his “girlfriend” Seth talk trash, so he could slap the pi$$ out of them.

Regarding Pepperman’s departure from WWE, The Wrestling Observer noted the following:
“Her main focus had been the women’s division on SmackDown. The only thing we were told is that she wanted a change. It was noted she was close with Mercedes Mone (Sasha Banks).”
Mercedes is anticipated to make her debut with AEW in March during the Big Business edition of Dynamite on March 13.
