Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring The Rock and Bayley.
• The Rock Says Cody Rhodes Will Be WWE Champion Again
On The Pat McAfee Show, The Rock said John Cena winning his 17th World Title at WrestleMania 41 was the right call, and said Cody Rhodes will become WWE Champion again:
“I love John getting 17. And I never had a concern about John pulling this off. My thoughts are always to Cody because of what we’ve established with him and his story and the kind of babyface that he is.
So if done right and I think if finessed right and if nuanced right down the road, that guy not only has an incredible babyface run again as champion, but also just an unheard of run as a heel down the road.”

• “I might be done in a couple of years, who knows?” – Bayley
During an interview with Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Bayley talked about how much time she has left on her WWE contract and what the future holds.
Here’s what the former WWE Women’s Champion said:
“I have so many other things I want to make it into. I have a year and a half left on this current contract, so we’ll see what happens then. (After that), I don’t know. I think I’ve done everything I really want to do, not everything. There’s still a lot I want to get done, but done so much with WWE and I’ve been here for already 12 years and there’s a huge wave of women coming in that I think are ready to take over, ready to be in those spots.
Teaming with Lyra right now has been super eye-opening to what the whole division has to offer. I’ve got to work with Roxanne. I got to work with Cora. But even like last night, hanging out with Lyra, we went out to dinner, and we hung out with Michin for her birthday. But being able to hang out with her outside of wrestling, hearing her mindset and why she does this, why she wants to make it better, what she wants to make better, how she wants to help even me.
Things that we’re doing going into WrestleMania, how she wants to be better for me makes me so happy that there’s people like that and women like that that want to be better for the division. So when I think about okay, I might be done in a couple of years, who knows? I know that it’s going to be in good hands. So that makes me really happy.
Where before John Cena always says he couldn’t leave, because who was going to do what he does? Who’s going to take his place? Who’s going to be the one to freaking put a$$es in seats? Who’s going to be the one that the kids want to see, that the kids idolize to the level that he does? Cody’s doing that. I’m not saying I’m John Cena, but that’s kind of the same mindset. As long as it’s in good hands, the goal was to just leave it in a better place than you found it.”
