Below are some top WWE news stories of the day, involving The Rock and Jinder Mahal.
• During an interview with Sony Sports Network, Becky Lynch played the “This or That” game.
When it came to choosing her side on “We Want Cody” and “We Want Rocky”, The Man chose The People’s Champion over The American Nightmare.
This comes as a shock, since Becky is a babyface and Rock is a heel. Also, Becky’s husband Seth Rollins is on Cody’s side in this Bloodline storyline.

• AEW President Tony Khan has faced criticism for relying on Cagematch ratings for booking decisions.
USA Network took a playful jab at Khan for this in January, which resulted in Khan taking a shot at Jinder Mahal facing Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Here’s what Khan tweeted:
“A moral victory for USA is one win more than their World Title challenger Jinder Mahal has in the past 364 days… because it’s been literally a full year since he won a match.
You really put AEW in our place getting Jinder Mahal in a big match on your tv show. Do it more often.”
During an interview on The Gorilla Position, Mahal had the following to say about Tony taking a shot at him:
“I think Tony Khan is forgetting I’m The Modern Day Maharaja, former WWE Champion, and being a former WWE Champion, I should be #1 Contender anytime I want.
The Royal Rumble happened a week after that. If you notice, I wasn’t in it because I didn’t feel there was a need. The Modern Day Maharaja wants a title match, he can just get one.
It’s okay. Overall, it’s great. It caused a lot of buzz, and I appreciate the competition because it makes everybody better.”
