Below are some top WWE news stories of the day, featuring The Rock, John Cena, Cody Rhodes, and Roman Reigns.
• The Rock Wants Cody Rhodes To Turn Heel In The Future
On The Pat McAfee Show, The Rock revealed that he wants Cody Rhodes to turn heel down the line:
“So I was an advocate of that – not turning Cody heel soon, but eventually down the line. I like the idea that because Cody’s a smart guy, he’s an intelligent guy, he’s a ring general and I think this idea of you give them a reason to turn way down the road, by the way.
You give them a reason to turn not based on titles, not based on this, but it’s his soul and what that means that affects generations. It’s transcendent beyond pro wrestling, and fans were loving it.”

• “People calling him a part-timer really fuels the fire in him” – The Rock On Roman Reigns
On The Pat McAfee Show, The Rock praised Roman Reigns for being in the best physical condition of his life right now.
Rock went on to say fans calling Reigns a part-timer pushes The Tribal Chief even more:
“People calling him a part-timer really fuels the fire in him to show you ‘I’m a lot of things, and you wanna call me a part timer, but the company’s on my back.’”
• The Rock Would Have Booked The Finish Of John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes Differently
On The Pat McAfee Show, The Rock said the following about the finish of John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41:
“So I love the finish of the match. I would have finessed things a little differently on how they got there, but that’s just me.
Creatively, there are a lot of minds in the room. That’s my thought. But still, ultimately the bottom line was I love John getting 17 (World Titles). 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.”
Cena low-blowed Cody and hit him in the head with the WWE Title, and then pinned him to become a 17-time World Champion in the main event of Night 2.
