Below are some top WrestleMania 41 news stories of the day, featuring Bayley, John Cena, and Jey Uso.
• Triple H Comments On Jey Uso Becoming The World Heavyweight Champion
Jey Uso defeated Gunther via submission to win the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41 Saturday.
Triple H tweeted the following about the biggest win of Jey’s career:

• Bayley’s WrestleMania 41 Replacement Revealed (Spoiler)
Bayley was attacked backstage during the WrestleMania 41 Saturday countdown show and has been pulled from the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match on Night 2.
RAW General Manager Adam Pearce told Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria that she has 24 hours to find a new partner for her match against Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez.
According to PWInsider, Bayley is not legitimately injured. There has been sympathy among talent for her this weekend when word began to spread that she was being pulled from WrestleMania as she’s universally respected in the locker room.
The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Becky Lynch will be Bayley’s replacement tonight:
“They did an angle before WrestleMania where Bayley was laid out. This is the return of Becky Lynch. She is going to be replacing Bayley against Lyra.
I suppose if word gets out, they could change it, but that was the plan today.”
As we noted yesterday, PWInsider also reported that Becky is scheduled to make her full-time return to WWE programming at WrestleMania 41.
• John Cena’s Final Message Before Match Against Cody Rhodes
