Below are some top WWE news stories of the day.
• Despite injuring Cody Rhodes at Elimination Chamber, Travis Scott’s WWE involvement is set to expand heading into WrestleMania 41.
Speaking at the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, Triple H confirmed that Scott will remain a key part of the storyline alongside The Rock, John Cena, and Rhodes.
“We have Travis Scott in the middle of a storyline right now that will get bigger as we head into WrestleMania, and coming out of it.”
Backstage, Scott has heat for going too far in the segment, with some believing he shouldn’t have been involved at all. However, WWE leadership, including Triple H and The Rock, continue to treat him as a major player, showing no signs of scaling back his role.

• Carmella opened up about her WWE departure on the Barely Famous podcast, revealing she was unaware that her contract had only been paused for 7 weeks during her pregnancy.
After taking time off in 2023 to welcome her first child with Corey Graves, she also dealt with a non-wrestling injury called Drop Foot.
While WWE initially supported her, communication broke down when she attempted to return. She pitched non-wrestling roles and a return plan, receiving positive feedback and medical clearance, but was then “ghosted.” With only 12 days’ notice, she was informed her contract had expired, leaving her blindsided.
Carmella questioned why she wasn’t given the same opportunities as others transitioning from in-ring roles, suggesting gender may have played a role. Calling it a “sh*tty way to end a 12-year career,” she spoke out against what she saw as unfair treatment, especially since her absence was due to pregnancy.
