Below are some top news stories of the day, involving The Rock and Bryan Danielson.
• WrestleMania 40 showcased a historic night of wrestling, culminating in Cody Rhodes dethroning Roman Reigns to claim the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Rhodes’ triumph marked a significant shift in WWE’s championship scene, ending Reigns’ remarkable 1,316-day reign.
However, amidst the celebration, Cody made a startling revelation regarding The Rock’s apparent obsession with him. Their recent encounter on RAW, coupled with The Rock’s ominous message, has fueled speculation about the WWE icon’s fixation.
In a recent interview on Good Morning Britain, Cody Rhodes hinted at The Great One’s obsession, suggesting it might be more intense than initially thought. With The Rock expected to return to the ring in late 2024 / early 2025, Cody anticipates further interactions, driven by The Brahma Bull’s pursuit.
Here’s what The American Nightmare said:
“I didn’t go to Hollywood, Hollywood has come to me in the form of The Rock, Dwayne Johnson, and he’s got like, I don’t want to say, oh I don’t know the word, well we’ll say it, like a little obsession with me. So I await his return.”

• On Sunday, April 21, at the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, MO, the wrestling world witnessed a long-awaited clash between two titans, Bryan Danielson and Will Ospreay, at the AEW Dynasty 2024 pay-per-view event.
Ospreay defeated Danielson in hard-hitting match, which fans are calling the AEW match of the year.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated before this match, Danielson made a bold declaration: he will never retire from professional wrestling, even as he transitions away from full-time competition.
Here’s what the former WWE Champion had to say:
“Expect the best version of Bryan Danielson. After I am no longer wrestling full-time, that will be different. Unless something happens medically, I’ll never retire.
Now will it be my best work? I don’t know. But there is something to be said about going out and performing in front of a small audience, which I am very passionate about.”
