Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day.
• During a media call to promote Elimination Chamber 2025, Sean Ross Sapp asked RAW Superstar Sami Zayn about how much time is left on his current WWE contract.
Zayn replied:
“I’m usually kind of private about that stuff, to be honest with you. But, I don’t think I’m going anywhere. I think I’ve got kind of a good thing going here, and I see it continuing for the foreseeable future.”
Zayn will face Kevin Owens in an Unsanctioned Match this Saturday at the Elimination Chamber PLE in Toronto.

• On SmackDown, The Rock said he wants Cody Rhodes to be “his” champion and wants The American Nightmare’s soul. Cody will give his answer at Elimination Chamber on March 1st.
The Wrestling Observer reported the following about the backstage reaction in WWE to this segment:
“The only thing I could say about that segment was it was weird. He’s going face-to-heel with the crowd, which, of course, went absolutely nuts when he came out. By the end, they were like, ‘What the f**k is this?’ you know? I mean, they were genuinely quiet. And then we left, with his music… it was like you would expect this big ovation. There was nothing.
I know one person there who said that they thought he really diminished Cody. And I wouldn’t say that… that’s probably an exaggeration, in the sense that I don’t think he diminished him in a way that is significant. But I don’t think that it helped Cody any by being in the ring with Dwayne in that segment, either.
You’re supposed to do the rub and make him as big as Dwayne and all that, and I would think that that’s probably the goal, but I don’t think that goal was achieved, either.”
