• Top WWE Stars Pushing For Big Change In The Company
WWE’s ticket prices have soared over the past year, leaving many fans feeling shows are no longer affordable for families. This has also contributed to slower ticket sales for WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.
The topic has also become a major talking point on WWE programming recently. Pat McAfee brought it up during his return promo on SmackDown last week, and World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk addressed it on last night’s RAW.
According to Bodyslam+, WWE and its parent company TKO are closely monitoring social media discussions around ticket costs, especially with WrestleMania approaching.
Several top stars have reportedly been pushing the company to lower ticket prices, arguing that diehard fans are being priced out and that more people should have the chance to attend shows in person and experience the product live.
As noted previously, WWE is considering reducing ticket prices heading into the summer.

• Good News For Liv Morgan
As noted before, 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble winner Liv Morgan was placed in concussion protocol following last night’s episode of WWE RAW.
The injury occurred during a backstage attack by Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer, who shoved Morgan into Roxanne Perez, causing the two to collide heads. Vaquer then drove Morgan into a television, which led to Morgan developing a visible bump on her head.
According to Fightful Select, WWE officials aren’t concerned about Liv being able to work WrestleMania 42 and expect her to get cleared in time.
Morgan and Vaquer have also traded shots on X following last night’s attack, continuing to build tension ahead of their clash at the Grandest Stage of Them All. This match will take place on Night 1.
• WWE’s Backup Plan If Nikki Bella Doesn’t Get Medical Clearance For WrestleMania 42 Revealed
WWE has announced 13 matches for WrestleMania 42 so far, with one more bout rumored to be added to the card, which is IYO SKY vs. Asuka.
According to Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer, the delay in making IYO SKY vs. Asuka official comes down to WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella’s condition. If she isn’t cleared in time for the Women’s Tag Team Championship Fatal-4-Way match, The Kabuki Warriors are expected to step in as replacements for The Bella Twins at the Show of Shows.
On the other hand, if Nikki does get cleared, WWE is expected to move forward with the singles match between IYO and Asuka. As of now, there’s no clear direction for IYO if Asuka is pulled into the Tag Title match instead.
Nikki Bella suffered a sprained ankle during The Bella Twins’ match against Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss on SmackDown a few weeks ago. She said last week that she expected to be cleared within 7-10 days, but there has been no further update since.
WWE announced the night split for WrestleMania matches earlier today.
