<p>Al Nassr locked horns with Al-Hilal in a crucial tie in the Saudi Pro League at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh. In a vital face-off, Cristiano Ronaldo-led club went down 2-0 while the skipper had a forgettable outing as he made heads turn with a WWE-inspired foul.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Talking about the match, Odion Ighalo struck twice as he led the charge in Al-Halil's stunning win over Al Nassr. He found the back of the net in the 42nd and 62nd minute to star in his side's victory over Ronaldo &amp; Co.

<p>This Friday Night SmackDown is the first one since WrestleMania 39, and as per the latest reports, tension seems to rise within The Bloodline. While the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns is not scheduled to appear on the blue brand this time, his cousins and the former Tag-Team champions – The Usos are likely to have a segment involving the wise man Paul Heyman.</p>

<p>Following Mania, where The Usos lost their titles to Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, Roman refused to confront his brothers on the past episode of Monday Night RAW, instructing Heyman to send them&nbsp;to his private jet during the show.</p>

<p>As per WRKD Wrestling, as quoted by Sportskeeda, a segment mainly revolving around Jey and Heyman is scheduled for SmackDown, and that, it would lead to a rise in tensions between the two. However, things are volatile on that front and can change at anytime.</p>

<p>"Please keep in mind that things are currently volatile, and things can change on a whim: Currently, Roman Reigns is not scheduled for #SmackDown tomorrow night, but there is slated to be a segment that leads to further tension between Paul Heyman and Jey Uso," tweeted WRKD Wrestling.</p>

<p>Main-eventing at the grandest stage in sports entertainment for the seventh time in his career, the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns defeated the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes for the WWE Universal title on night 2 of WrestleMania 39 in LA, Hollywood. The 2023 Men’s Royal Rumble winner Cody put up his best performance on the night, but with assistance from other members of the Bloodline, he failed to realise his dream of winning the world title at Mania.</p>

<p>Both these mega stars had an entrance to remember as Cody came first, followed by the champion Roman Reigns. Much to everyone’s delight, the match began positively for the challenger, who had vowed to end the story.</p>

<p>After hitting Roman with few early punches, Cody suffered a cheap shot from Solo Sikoa, whom he defeated on the past episode of Monday Night RAW. After Solo got carried away and smashed Cody with the belt from behind, the referee noticed it and dismissed him immediately. It came as a blow to Roman, who was used to&nbsp;having someone alongside him at the ring side. Now with Roman not having anyone backing him up, he realised he was up for some trouble. Cody made the most of this opportunity and hit the champion with his trademark Cross Roads. That wasn’t enough, as Roman avoided the pinfall.</p>

<p>Soon after, Cody accidently hit the referee with a boot kick. In no time, the Usos showed up and started bashing Rhodes. As the numbers game favoured The&nbsp;Bloodline’s, the newly-formed&nbsp;Tag Team Champions, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens came to Cody’s aid and neutralised the situation.</p>

<p>Before the referee to get back on his feet properly, out of nowhere, Solo returned from behind and hit Cody with his trademark shot, only for Roman to hit the spear and pin him.</p>

<p>As everyone was hoping for the titles to change hands in the main event of WrestleMania 39, it didn’t happen as Roman defeated Cody and retained his WWE Universal Championship.</p>

<p>The Almighty Bobby Lashley might not have an opponent at WrestleMania 39. Earlier, in the lead-up to the grandest event of the year, former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt was slated to take on Lashley. Following Wyatt’s absence from the house show at MSG, he didn’t appear on live television either. As per previous reports, Bray is understood to be down and away because of illness, and considering all of this, the match between Bobby and Bray doesn’t look like happening at Mania.</p>

<p>In that case, the WWE still has a backup plan for Lashley. As per WrestleVotes, LA Knight is the backup opponent for him if Bray doesn’t appear at Mania.</p>

<p>“A personal health issue on Bray Wyatt's part is going to keep Bobby Lashley off the WrestleMania card. With that said, I know that there's a backup plan... I do know that they're gonna get Lashley on the card in some form,” WrestleVotes told GiveMeSport.</p>

<p>WrestleVotes state that LA will get involved with Lashley in some capacity, which remains unclear if it would be a match or a just a promo. They added that this match was already on the mind of the creative for over a week now.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, at the 2023 Men’s Royal Rumble, Bray and LA Knight faced off in the first-ever Pitch Black&nbsp;match that Bray won.</p>

<p>“I heard the plans for Bobby had something to do with La Knight. I think there's a tie-in with some type of segment that LA Knight is going to be involved in,” WrestleVotes added.</p>

<p>It doesn’t end here. Reports further suggest that veteran Stone Cold Steve Austin could also get involved in this match. The Texas Rattlesnake was, anyway, on the cards to make an appearance at Mania and with all matches more or less scheduled by now, Austin getting involved could only happen during a separate segment like this.</p>

WWE: Backup opponent for Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania 39 is ready if match against Bray Wyatt doesn't happen

<p>WWE has not renewed Bill Goldberg's contract, making it clear that the company is no more interested in using the WWE star again. Goldberg is a free agent now. As per reports, President of All Elite Wrestling Tony Khan is interested in getting Goldberg on board. However, the unceremonial exit of the WWE star has turned the speculation market red hot whether WWE’s creative head Paul Triple H Levesque has some personal vendetta against Goldberg. The fact that Goldberg was not given a farewell match further fuels the speculations.</p>

<h2><strong>Triple H’s personal grudges against Bill Goldberg</strong></h2>

<p>The wrestling community is well aware of the personal rivalries between Triple H and Goldberg when both of them were at the height of their careers in the early 2000s. Before WCW was sold to WWE in 1998, Goldberg was its most famous member. From 1997 through 1998, he went undefeated in one-on-one matches in the WCW.</p>

<p>However, Goldberg was out of action for a while after Vince McMahon acquired WCW. It's even been said that McMahon brought Goldberg into the WWE, particularly so that he could engage in a unique feud with Triple H, another up-and-coming wrestler at the time.</p>

<p>Goldberg on record admitted that he didn’t like Triple H back in 2003. In an interview, Goldberg said, “The truth is I don’t like the guy and I enjoy wearing the belt that he so graciously called his own because in reality, it was mine first.”</p>

<p>However, it’s also a fact that Goldberg is now past his prime, and he is not putting up as intense fights as he used to do earlier. He is 52 now, and his age no longer allows him to pull off extreme fights.</p>

<h2><strong>Goldberg’s career with WWE</strong></h2>

<p>In 2003, Goldberg signed up with WWE for one year. And he parted his ways right after Wrestlemania 20. Goldberg unexpectedly returned to WWE in 2016 and remained there for the following 7 years.<br />
He defeated Kevin Owens to win the Universal Championship in 2017 and Brock Lesnar in his comeback encounter at Survivor Series. When Lesnar won the championship at Wrestlemania 33, it appeared that Goldberg would give up the sport. The following year, he was admitted into the WWE Hall of Fame.</p>

<p>Goldberg would then go on to compete against the Undertaker in Saudi Arabia in 2019.&nbsp;Both celebrities sustained concussions in the shocking outcome of the contest. Goldberg's subsequent match against Dolph Ziggler was a type of atonement for him.</p>

Goldberg's subsequent match against Dolph Ziggler was a type of atonement for him.

<p>As we approach the WrestleMania 39 weekend, the rumour backstage is that the former 14-time World Champion Randy Orton is returning to WWE. Per the latest report in PW Insider, Orton will be in Hollywood around the Showcase of Immortals, but it remains unclear if he will appear on live television or not.</p>

<p>Out since May last year due to an injury, Randy was not expected to make a return anytime soon. However, that equation is under the mat now, as even after Triple H is planning a special RAW after Mania, he is likely to bring in a few faces and a big return. Well, that could be of the Viper Randy Orton.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per the Wrestling bootmaker, Jose G Sanz, he stated last month that Randy contacted him recently about making boots for his return. On 2/11 Sanz wrote,&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I haven’t made them yet but Randy Orton contacted me via email for his return. Currently, Drew McIntyre and Bray Wyatt are some of the biggest superstars. Today I received an order for boots for Cody for WrestleMania."</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Randy’s faction with his former partner Matt Riddle did wonders as fans loved this on-screen pairing. It will be exciting to see if and when Randy comes and in what capacity will be entering.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Bobby-Bray match scrapped</strong></p>

<p>Former WWE champions Bobby Lashley and Bray Wyatt were earlier slated to face off at WrestleMania 39.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, following news of Bray suffering from an unnamed medical condition, he is off TV for now, and even the ringside commentators have not mentioned Bray’s name in the past episodes of SmackDown and RAW.&nbsp;</p>

<p>So this means neither Bobby nor Bray are scheduled to appear on any of the two nights at WrestleMania 39.</p>

WWE: Major return on cards for WrestleMania 39 weekend, huge could-be-match scrapped for Showcase of Immortals

<p>Life, taxes, death and The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak – all these things never seemed like ending. But in Taker’s case, it did, much to everyone’s shock at the Grandest stage of all. When Brock Lensar F-5’ed the Undertaker for the third time, somewhere deep down, everyone knew he would not let the pinfall happen. But as Vince had already thought about it, the unimaginable happened and the Beast Incarnate won the match instead.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking to Ariel Helwani on BT Sports, the Taker opened up on his WrestleMania streak and who according to him should have broken that if not Brock.</p>

<p>The Undertaker said heading into the Mania, he, Vince and a few others knew that the streak is about to get broken for which Vince chased a few wrestlers before finalising Brock for the same. The Undertaker revealed one of the names The Chairman approached was Edge but he denied saying he can’t do that.</p>

<p>“By the time we got to WrestleMania, we pretty much knew what was going to go down, but there were a few people I guess that he wanted to break the streak. (Vladimir) Kozlov, he wanted him. It was early on, and I think he wanted Edge to go over and Edge refused. He said, ‘No. I can’t do it.’ That’s how much he respected the streak and me and what that streak meant to the business. I didn’t know that at that time. I didn’t know that until years after. That says a lot about the human being he is,” the Undertaker said.</p>

<p>Eventually, Brock was chosen to put an end to a streak the world will always remember for good. However, the Undertaker feels it should rather have been Roman Reigns who should have broken his streak as it would have meant more to him than what it did to Brock.&nbsp;Taker further said Brock was already a main attraction and he’s not sure if Brock needed the push he got after beating him at Mania. But had it been for Roman Reigns, a win there would have changed the world for him.</p>

<p>“It’s hard to say. I don’t think Brock needed it. I think Brock was a major attraction, he was a star, and he was made. I don’t know that it enhanced him anymore. I think it would have been great for Roman if Brock hadn’t already done it. It would have been a huge thing for Roman. I don’t know that it meant the same to Brock as it would have meant to Roman or anybody else who would have done it because Brock had already been there. Brock had already gone off to UFC. He already had all these major accomplishments. I think it could have helped somebody else,” the Undertaker added.</p>

<p>The Phenom, the Deadman – also widely known as The Undertaker, is one of the greatest servants of pro-wrestling. One of WWE’s own, The Undertaker, who recently sat down with Ariel Helwani on BT Sport opened about various topics, including whom he thinks should dethrone Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Two names on the top of list are Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn – both of whom have crossed paths with the defending champion Roman Reigns some time back only. While Cody is already slated to take on the Tribal Chief in the main event of WrestleMania 39 after winning the 2023 Men's Royal Rumble, Sami faced the Head of the Table at the past Elimination Chamber live event, where he lost the match.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, unlike the previous times, the WWE universe is invested into this&nbsp;storyline involving all three.</p>

<p>As Cody had said several times during his promos on RAW, he is here to end the story while he has the backing from the fans and a section of the creative backstage who also believe that Cody can do the impossible.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Considering Roman Reigns has held the WWE Universal Championship for over 900 days, anyone of Cody or Sami, whoever beats Roman, must be the one the company trusts the most. Talking about the same, the former WWE Champion The Undertaker has backed the American Nightmare to finally dethrone Roman from his title at the Showcase of Immortals.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Undertaker said given the momentum Cody has at the moment and knowing the WWE has invested a lot in him already, Rhodes looks like the most viable option to beat Roman.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"At this point, it’s gotta be the right person and one, it’s gotta be somebody that you trust and you know is not gonna flake off and do something because there’s a lot of time and money invested in this whole thing at this point. I think Cody [Rhodes] with the momentum that he had, I think that would be the logical guy, and Sami’s a dark horse... It’s gotta be somebody that they have a lot of faith in and knows is going to be here for the long haul," said The Undertaker.&nbsp;</p>

WWE: The Undertaker breaks silence on who he thinks should dethrone Roman Reigns for Universal title

<p>On the latest episode of SmackDown Live, WWE announced veteran Rey Mysterio will be inducted into the 2023 Hall of Fame. Arguably the greatest masked wrestler in the history of this industry, Mysterio is the first one this year who&nbsp;will&nbsp;be entering the HOF class during the induction ceremony that will take place in Los Angeles, Hollywood on March 30th, one night before Night 1 of WrestleMania 39.</p>

<p>Mysterio, whose real name is Oscar Gutierrez, has been wrestling as a professional since he was 14. Winner of the 2006 Men’s Royal Rumble, Rey has won over 20 titles (23 championships, to be precise) between WWE and WCW.</p>

<p>The 48-year-old Mysterio is a former WWE Champion&nbsp;and has even remained the World Heavyweight Champion on two occasions in the past. He is also a WWE ‘Grand Slam’ champion, meaning he has won all the notable titles that are there to win in this promotion. Besides these, the 5-foot-6, 175-pound wrestler has also won Cruiserweight Championship five times in WCW and three times in WWE.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, just when Rey entered the ring to express his gratitude for getting inducted into the 2023 Hall of Fame, the heel faction of The Judgement Day interrupted him with all eyes staring Rey’s son Dominic Mysterio, who is also likely to be Rey’s opponent at WrestleMania 39. Not only Dominic was booed on his way to the ring, he even disrespected his father’s accomplishment early on.</p>

Not only Dominic was booed on his way to the ring, he even disrespected his father’s accomplishment early on.

Veteran WWE wrestler Rey Mysterio to be inducted into the 2023 Hall of Fame

<p>Today on Friday night SmackDown, the final contender for the Intercontinental title match against Gunther at WrestleMania 39 was to be determined. However, a controversial finish to the fatal-5 way between Sheamus, LA Knight, Xavier Woods, Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross led to another match for next week’s SmackDown that will eventually decide who goes on to face The Ring General at Mania.</p>

<p>SmackDown started with this as the match saw a lot of back and forth from each wrestler. The exciting fatal-5 way had the fans on their feet as there were some close countdowns and pinfalls. However, the match ended with McIntyre and Sheamus pinning LA Knight and Woods, respectively. The finish confused everyone as who will now be on the Road to WrestleMania. While the referees present inside the ring had declared both as winners, Adam Pearce burst&nbsp;on to the scene with a solution.</p>

<p>Present backstage while watching the match with Gunther – who told him after the controversial ending that there should be just one contender and not two, Adam informed both Sheamus and McIntyre that on next week’s SmackDown, both will take on&nbsp;other and winner of that match will go to WrestleMania and challenge Gunther for the Intercontinental champion.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Gunther is clearly the most-talked-about Intercontinental champion in history. Having fared against and beaten some of the biggest names on the roster in Rey Mysterio, Braun Strowman and even Ricochet for the title, Gunther is on a different level at this stage.</p>

<p>The former NXT champion, Gunther made headlines earlier for his superb performance at the 2023 Men’s Royal Rumble – where he remained inside the ring for over close to 70 minutes breaking Mysterio’s previous record. Cody Rhodes, the eventual winner of the Rumble was the one who sent him over the top rope.</p>

<p>However, as per some reports surfacing, both Sheamus and Drew McIntyre were penned to face Gunther at the Showcase of Immortals. Now with this match sealed for next week, it would be exciting to see makes it through to the grander stage.</p>

WWE: Gunther's WrestleMania 39 opponent to be determined on next week's SmackDown

<p>Ever-since making his debut on the main roster more than two decades ago, the Big Red Machine, also widely known as Kane (Glenn Jacobs), was a sensation for anyone following pro-wrestling. A huge, strongly built man with the red mask being the cherry on the cake was all but a mysterious figure for the fans and millions watching on TV. His on-screen pairing with the Deadman, The Undertaker was the most destructive faction in WWF, WWE.</p>

<p>In a recent exclusive chat with PWMania.com, Kane opened up on his pairing with The Undertaker, what it was like removing the mask and his take on returning to WWE.</p>

<p>Firstly,&nbsp;Kane talked about working with the Deadman saying&nbsp;it was amazing to work with him, and that the Undertaker remained his favourite from day one. Showering praises on his on-screen brother, Kane said what Undertaker could do with his physique not many had the ability to pull that off.</p>

<p>“It was amazing. Undertaker was my favourite superstar before I got into the WWE. He debuted right around the time I broke into the wrestling business. He’s always been my favourite. He was a big guy like me, and the character was amazing. He was the first big guy to combine size and athleticism that he did. There were a lot of big guys who couldn’t do the stuff he could do,” Kane said.</p>

<p>Elaborating on what it was like removing his mask and breaking the suspense on live television, Kane said he was excited about it because he felt his character with the mask on was getting stale.</p>

<p>“I was pumped about it. It was a change. I felt that Kane had gotten rather stale. The mask while it was a great asset because it provided a mystique and mystery that nobody else had, and also because we use our face a lot to show people emotion which is what WWE is all about and getting the audience to feel what you feel, I couldn’t do that they way I wanted to because of the mask and felt I was pretty limited. I was excited to do it,” Kane added.</p>

<p>Finally speaking on his potential return to the WWE in any capacity in future, Kane said,</p>

<p>“I’ll always leave that door open. In WWE, we never say never. I don’t know what will happen. I do some stuff here and there in the WWE. That’s a part of me and it’s something I enjoy and want to do for the rest of my life. If it’s something in the ring, I don’t know. Maybe you have to ask Kane that question.”</p>

<p>John Cena is on the cusp of equalling a long-standing record held by former WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair. Ahead of his battle with Austin Theory at the WrestleMania 39, Cena is closing in on attaining a massive feat. If the veteran beats Theory, he will tie a 27-year-long record of having the most US Title reigns in history (6). However, it won't be an easy task for Cena who&nbsp;has not won a singles match in WWE since 2018.</p>

<p>It is to be noted that the pro-wrestling legend Flair became a record six-time US Champion when he toppled Konnan at WCW Bash at The Beach in 1996. Cena, on the other hand, is currently tied at five reigns along with some other notable names such as Chris Benoit, Wahoo McDaniel, Lex Luger, and Bret Hart.</p>

<p>With each passing day we are getting closer to WrestleMania 39. The challenger for the WWE Universal title match against Roman Reigns in the main event, Cody Rhodes, recently appeared on the "Out of Character with Ryan Satin" and opened up on Sami Zayn’s increasing popularity among the fans, which&nbsp;led to talks of a potential triple threat match at Mania doing rounds.</p>

<p>As reported earlier, WWE was genuinely concerned with Sami’s popularity among the fans following Elimination Chamber Live Event in Montreal. They feared that to listen to what the WWE Universe wants, they would have to change the original plan for Mania's main event.</p>

<p>However, sharing his thoughts on the rumours of Sami getting added to the title match at the Showcase of Immortals, Cody said he would take anything coming his way as a challenge. While in this case in particular, he would not look at it as something negative.</p>

<p>"I looked at it as a challenge, is probably the best way to look at it, and not a negative challenge. Sami is doing amazing things. You didn't just buy yourself some future spot. You've got to get back in there and show people exactly what you can do. What a great problem to have when you have two very strong characters. One of the worst things we can do as a community is trying to turn the characters against one another,” Cody said.</p>

<p>The 2023 Men’s Royal Rumble winner further said it’s like a good headache to have for the creative. He added that Sami came close as anyone on dethroning Roman at Chamber, that too in his hometown and same goes for Drew McIntyre, who also had his shot at the title at the Clash of the Castle in his home. So now, as Cody got the chance to do the same, he would want to show everyone what he’s worth of and what he can do on a bigger stage.</p>

<p>“Sami got his shot in Montreal, in his hometown, and came as close as anyone. Drew may be very similar in terms of being close. Sami and I have a real genuine relationship. I thought, 'Well, if they love him, and I'm been so lucky that they love me in this moment too, I better make sure I give them the absolute best, and again, leave no doubt.' I never once looked at it as a problem. I looked at it as a challenge and for WWE as a whole, a great problem to have," he added.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Cody and Roman recently cut a promo on SmackDown where Roman kept mentioning what Dusty Rhodes - Cody’s late father, used to feel about his son - firing Cody up, who claims to end The Bloodline story at the Show of Shows in Hollywood.</p>

<p>It's fair to say The Bloodline has hogged most of the limelight since its formation in 2022. The faction of the WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, Tag Team champions The Usos and the newly-inducted Solo Sikoa has made this a talking point in the pro-wrestling world. The WWE is now believed to be protecting Solo Sikoa's on-screen image as they have huge plans for him going forward.</p>

<p>As per the latest from Dave Meltzer from the Wrestling Observer Radio, Solo, who hasn't suffered a singles loss on live television, is tipped to take on his Tribal Chief Roman Reigns sometime in the future.

<p>Jey then returned during Roman's title match against Zayn at the latter's hometown in Montreal during the Elimination Chamber. There he refused to obey Roman's orders to hit Sami with the chair and instead left the ring, leaving everyone surprised and confused at the same time.</p>

WWE: Roman Reigns' led-The Bloodline set to fall apart? Latest reports suggest so

<p>All the titles will be on the line at WrestleMania 39 and while fans would expect most of them to change hands, as per the latest report, there are talks of a potential title change in the tag team division at Mania. With the Usos currently holding the Men's Tag team titles, the new pair of Becky Lynch and Lita were recently crowned the Women's tag champions on the last episode of RAW after they beat Damage CTRL's Dakota Kai and IYO SKY.</p>

<p>As the pair of Dakota and Iyo didn't defend their title before last Monday's episode of RAW, going ahead, the company is likely to bring in more contenders for the same. Speaking of the challengers, Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio believe new tag champions will be crowned at the Show of Shows in Hollywood.</p>

Latest reports suggest he told a few people about 'finishing up’</a></p>

<p>Meanwhile, as it got reported earlier that Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler are pushing WWE to bring them into the title picture, both are front leaders to dethrone Becky and Lita for tag championships. However, Ronda is currently nursing a non-serious injury and is expected to be back soon just before the Mania.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"From what I understand, she's [Ronda Rousey] limited [and] probably will be out, and exactly how much she will be recovered by when she's wrestling again, is unknown. But the hope is that they [Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey] will still win the tag team titles at WrestleMania. That was the original idea. That's still the hope," said Dave Meltzer</p>

<p>The 'baddest woman on the planet,' Ronda dropped&nbsp;her SmackDown Women's title to the returning Charlotte Flair last year, who will be facing the winner of the Women's Royal Rumble Rhea Ripley for the title at WrestleMania 39. On the other hand, RAW Women's champion Bianca Belair will take on Asuka for the title at the Showcase of Immortals.</p>

Latest reports suggest he told a few people about 'finishing up’ Meanwhile, as it got reported earlier that Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler are pushing WWE to bring them into the title picture, both are front leaders to dethrone Becky and Lita for tag championships. However, Ronda is currently nursing a non-serious injury and is expected to be back soon just before the Mania. "From what I understand, she's [Ronda Rousey] limited [and] probably will be out, and exactly how much she will be recovered by when she's wrestling again, is unknown. But the hope is that they [Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey] will still win the tag team titles at WrestleMania. That was the original idea. That's still the hope," said Dave Meltzer The 'baddest woman on the planet,' Ronda dropped her SmackDown Women's title to the returning Charlotte Flair last year, who will be facing the winner of the Women's Royal Rumble Rhea Ripley for the title at WrestleMania 39. On the other hand, RAW Women's champion Bianca Belair will take on Asuka for the title at the Showcase of Immortals.

WWE: Tag Team titles are set to change hands at WrestleMania 39: Reports

<p>The internet erupted, ticket sales skyrocketed when WWE announced&nbsp;John Cena will return to March 6th episode of Monday Night RAW at Boston, MA. Not only the fans, there’s someone else&nbsp;too who’s waiting for Cena to take the centre stage and address the WWE universe, and that someone is none other than the US Champion Austin Theory.</p>

<p>From last year's&nbsp;Summer Slam, WWE teased a potential feud between Theory and Cena, both of whom are touted to be Vince McMahon’s favourites. Now, since Triple H took over the reins as the creative head, he is believed to be going ahead with this dream match, that too at WrestleMania 39.</p>

<p>Ahead of the next episode of Monday Night RAW, Theory while speaking with <em>Inside The Ropes</em>, said he can’t wait to give veteran John Cena a ‘warm welcome’. Mentioning much like how Cena used to appear on every Monday Night RAW show during his time, Theory is doing that too, and that he wants to show respect to Cena for the same.</p>

<p>“Of course, I do. I’m on Raw every single Monday and we all know the history of John Cena and the work he’s put in and how many Mondays he’s been there. I want to show him all the respect that I can when I see him on Monday. I’ll be the one to bring that to him. It’s going to be a very warm (welcome),” the US Champion said.</p>

<p>Talking further about defending the US Championship at WrestleMania 39, Theory said he’s ready for it and with this he wants to show to everyone what he can do on a bigger stage. Adding on if he thinks Cena would be the one challenging him for the title, Theory said he doesn’t think Cena can take out time for that given his schedule, and that he’s a past now.</p>

<p>“This is going to be a chance to take the United States Championship and showcase it in the match I’m in. Everybody has their thoughts, ‘is it going to be John Cena?’ Me, personally, I don’t think he would face me at WrestleMania. I don’t think he’s going to show up. With his schedule, he’s the past now. It is what it is. I don’t see that happening. If it does, oh, if it does. Anybody else out there, maybe we have somebody we’ve never seen before in the WWE show up. Maybe they want some of Austin Theory and that Hollywood WrestleMania and try to take home the United States Championship,” Theory added.</p>

<p>WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns defeated Sami Zayn at a live event in Toronto on Saturday, and not only this, he attacked the unconscious Sami following the win as well leaving him down and out.

<p>In a video recorded and shared on social media by one of the WWE fans who was present inside the arena, Roman is seen viciously attacking the former Honorary UCE Sami Zayn, who’s already lying down unconscious. If these are any sign of the end of a feud between these two, so be it.</p>

<p>The WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther is making headlines for all the right reasons. After putting up an incredible show at the first live event of the year in the 2023 Royal Rumble, Gunther carried his Intercontinental run pretty well on the blue brand. As the company is closing on finalising his potential opponent at WrestleMania 39, the Ring General Gunther in an exclusive chat with "Cheap Heat with Peter Rosenberg," opened up on facing Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar in the future.</p>

<p>To begin with, Gunther talked about his performance at the Rumble that saw him breaking the long-standing record held by Rey Mysterio as he remained inside the ring for one hour and 11 minutes. Opening up on what he thinks about the same, Gunther firstly said it was a great chance for him to show everyone what he can do on a big stage, and that he genuinely didn’t bother to care about the particular record mentioned above as his focus remained on what’s happening inside the ring.</p>

<p>"It was a great opportunity for me to show everybody on that big of a stage what I'm about and what I can do. I wasn't really focused on being in the ring that long and that would be a record that might go off or something like that. I literally paid zero attention to it (the record). I was just focused on what's gonna happen in the ring actually," Gunther said while talking about his performance at Royal Rumble.</p>

<p>When asked about Cody Rhodes, Gunther said he understands why Cody is the top challenger for the WWE title but also added that he’s sure both will cross paths sometime later.</p>

<p>"I do understand why he's the man right now. He carries himself in a great way. He's an absolute professional; I think his back story is phenomenal. I wish him all the best in whatever he does now, but in the end, I think we're gonna cross paths again and I'm excited about that,” the intercontinental champion said.</p>

<p>Finally, opening up on facing Brock Lesnar after what transpired at the Royal Rumble (the face-off), Gunther said he has always looked up to Brock since the time the beast incarnate made his WWE debut, and that he wants to prove himself against him.</p>

<p>"I think that moment that we had in the Rumble was because that was all I needed out of it. It was basically like a real-life confirmation that the audience is up for that. They want to see it. When I watched him when he started with WWE, he was always the most impressive guy to me, an absolute beast. Then I saw his stuff in Japan, the UFC, and then he came back and has been on top since then. One of the best wrestlers to ever do it in my mind. Just for that reason, I want to be able to prove myself against him," Gunther further added.</p>

WWE: Gunther opens up on facing Brock Lesnar, says he wants to prove himself against beast incarnate

<p>Arguably the greatest WWE superstar ever Brock Lesnar could be done with entertaining people inside the wrestling ring for good. Regarded as the most dominant in-ring wrestler this industry has seen, Brock has reportedly informed a few people after the latest episode of Monday Night RAW&nbsp;that he is ‘finishing up’. As most of the WWE fans are aware that Brock’s current contract is set to expire somewhere around mid-April right after WrestleMania 39, speculations have started doing the rounds that he might be done with WWE this time.</p>

<p>As reported earlier, clearly ‘due to Brock’s request’ he denied facing Bray Wyatt at Mania that was originally planned for him; and it’s because of which the finish of his match against Bobby Lashley at the Elimination Chamber was changed to disqualification. In an ideal scenario, Brock was supposed to go over the Almighty at the Chamber but that didn’t happen.</p>

<p>However, the plans changed at the last moment as the Beast Incarnate is now slated&nbsp;to take on the Nigerian giant ‘The Omos’ at WrestleMania 39 in Hollywood.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, PW Insider first reported that the sources close to the information cannot confirm what ‘finishing up’ means as of now, and that it clearly doesn’t indicate if Brock is done with WWE right after the Showcase of Immortals or will he renew his contract after taking a break like old times.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, being Vince McMahon’s go-to-man in terms of main-eventing biggest PVVs of the year on several occasions in the past, Brock returning to taking on someone in a non-title match would make up for an odd scenario.</p>

<p>Given the decision-maker in the back has changed with Triple H now leading the creative, he could come up with some exciting storyline should the Beast Incarnate decides to renew his contract and stay following WrestleMania. Else, like how all good things come to an end, if Brock decides to say goodbye to pro-wrestling for now, he would be dearly missed as one of the greatest ever to step foot in WWE.</p>
