I’ve seen a lot of people picking Cody around the internet and it just makes zero sense to me from a storyline standpoint. Turn Cena just to have him immediately fail? Cody has had zero struggle since winning so he just keeps going with nothing lined up? Cena laid out the right story for the year…he’s winning and leaving with the belt forever when 2025 is over. The rest of the year becomes a chase for someone to prevent that from happening in his sparse appearances to defend the title. That’s exciting. What’s the alternative? Cody vs…Drew McIntyre for a month before it’s back to Rollins or, god forbid, Solo again?

Unless they have a massive plan for Cena post Mania that’s better than the ultimate company guy literally threatening to take the history of the company with him when he goes…I would consider a loss an all time fumble of opportunity.

The belief among those we've spoken to is the timing of Living Colour playing Freemont Street this Friday is for "the reasons you think", so we can 99.9% expect the legendary band to play CM Punk to the ring this weekend. They played Punk to the ring at his last Wrestlemania match against The Undertaker in 2013:​

Championship action will be kicking off the evening on Sunday, April 20, when night two of WrestleMania 41 rolls into Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

On Friday, it was confirmed during the special episode of The Pat McAfee Show live from Las Vegas, NV. that the WWE Women’s World Championship bout with IYO SKY vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair will be kicking things off at WrestleMania 41 Sunday.

It was also confirmed during the special show that GUNTHER vs. “Main Event” Jey Uso will kick off night one of WrestleMania 41 on April 19.

While it obviously sucks that Kevin Owens will be unable to compete at WrestleMania, what makes it even worse is that he always wears a KO-Mania shirt with the logo from the WrestleMania based on the number of WrestleMania matches he has had and by my count this would have been KO-Mania IX and WrestleMania IX was in Las Vegas.

Maybe we'll finally get Paul Heyman managing Bron on screen as after mania if Roman won't be on screen for a while and Punk is great a promos. Bron could do with him as it's not his strongest forte. I can see Bron challenging for the WHC this year at some point.

KO: Since this shirt will never see the light of day, here’s what it was going to be this year:​
