Ahead of his much-awaited match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39, WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes&nbsp;shared his game plan. The two superstars are set to lock horns at the event to fight for the coveted&nbsp;Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. It is to be noted that the American Nightmare earned the right to challenge for the title by emerging on top in the Royal Rumble match this year.&nbsp;

Prior to his face-off with Roman Reigns, the Ace of BBC Sounds quizzed&nbsp;Cody Rhodes regarding how he plans to dethrone his opposition. To this, the former TNT Champion responded by saying:

"I think one of the sobering things about Roman Reigns, is sometimes real life happens, right? You see it in sports all the time, sometimes the better story is defeated by the better competitor, and I think I have to come into this not sweating the individual that is Roman Reigns, the God-tier superstar," said Rhodes.

"I think I have to come into this and I can't just ride the emotions of Dusty's son, the title he never got. I can't ride those emotions, I have to just be the literal best, bell to bell. I just have to come in with more gas in the tank. I have to come in as disciplined as possible. I just don't want to be a casual of that," added the WWE Superstar.

It won't be an easy task for Rhodes to get past The Tribal Chief. Such has been Roman Reigns' form that&nbsp;he has dominated WWE as its top champion since 2020. Some top names such as Brock Lesnar, John Cena, and Goldberg have tried to get the better of him but failed. Hence, Rhodes has a herculean task ahead to surpass Roman Reigns.

The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes won the 2023 Royal Rumble and challenged the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns for a WWE Undisputed Championship match in the main event of WrestleMania 39. However, the road to ‘The Show of Shows’ isn’t as plain and straight as most of the WWE fans thought it to be. In the latest developments, Cody has teased a new match at the Mania instead of one-on-one between him and Roman Reigns. Given how the crowd is reacting to Sami Zayn and Roman Reigns storyline on the other hand, don’t be surprised if the creative comes up with a dream match between all three for a title or separate titles at WrestleMania 39.

Sami Zayn broke Roman Reigns’ trust and left the Bloodline after he hit&nbsp;him with a chair from behind during the final segment of the Royal Rumble. That moment the WWE Universe realised they were up for something exciting in days to come. In the following two SmackDown episodes, Sami had cut promos with both Roman and his wise-man Paul Heyman, getting the crowd involved in the storyline.

Meanwhile, in all of this Sami had challenged Roman for a championship match at the upcoming Elimination Chamber in Montreal – Sami’s hometown. While the WWE might not want the titles to get separated before WrestleMania, it is believed that there is a section of people in the creatives who are contemplating about Sami beating Roman in a shocking result,&nbsp;eventually leading&nbsp;us to the triple threat match at the Mania between Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn.

Speaking on this prospect on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Cody said he’s ready for any challenge coming way as he chases his childhood dream of winning the WWE title at WrestleMania.

"I really look forward to the moments when I'm in there if they happen, Sami, whether that's just on the Road to WrestleMania, because I think it's different than people think... Hey, who knows? Who knows what happens in Montreal? Who knows what happens at WrestleMania?" Rhodes said.

On the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, both challengers Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn had cut promos – worth watching a million times. It was during that only&nbsp;when Cody told Sami, "I don't want to see you on RAW next Monday, because I'd rather see you at WrestleMania!"

Following a memorable 2023 Royal Rumble where the returning Cody Rhodes and Rhea Ripley won their respective rumble matches and earned a chance to main event WrestleMania 39, former WWE legend Kurt Angle comes up with his sets of predictions in regards to their matches. While Cody, as expected, challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at the Shows of Show, Rhea has picked SmackDown Women’s champion Charlotte Flair as her opponent for the Mania, scheduled for April 1st and 2nd in Hollywood.

Knowing Roman Reigns hasn’t been pinned clean in almost three years now, beating him in the main event of WrestleMania 39 would require more than just a good contest. Angle, who has had some great matches at the Mania before, knows what it takes to topple a champion like Roman.

The Rock vs Roman Reigns is the match the pro-wrestling fans are looking forward to. As things stand, the Rock -&nbsp;who was earlier tipped to show up at the 2023 Royal Rumble and then at the WrestleMania 39 as well, is unlikely to mark his attendance for the Show of Shows as he doesn’t think ‘he will get fit in time’ for it. Roman, who appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon recently responded to this rumour saying those who are questioning The Rock’s fitness, going by his routine gym schedule, must understand that lifting weights and getting fit for a wrestling match are two different things.

"I believe he just came out with a statement saying that he's not gonna be ready in time, which, that's the face that everyone's making, like, 'Hold on! He trains every single day. He's huge!' In his defence, it's one thing to train with weights, the bodybuilding, the look, the part... but, to be able to get in the ring and do a main event match, a championship match, it takes a lot of conditioning, it beats up your body," Roman said.

Elaborating what really goes into getting fit for a wrestling match, and that too about main-eventing something like WrestleMania, the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion said an athlete must be conditioned in a different to square off in a wrestling ring. Praising his real-life elder cousin The Rock for maintaining his fitness and clicking at least two of the three boxed mentioned by him below, Roman said,

"So, there's more that goes into it than training in the weight room. It's a professional athlete type of situation where you have to condition. He does two out of three things perfectly. His nutrition and weight training is on point, but you have to condition yourself, you gotta be ready to fall down."

As things stand, the Rock - who was earlier tipped to show up at the 2023 Royal Rumble and then at the WrestleMania 39 as well, is unlikely to mark his attendance for the Show of Shows as he doesn’t think ‘he will get fit in time’ for it.

Roman, who appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon recently responded to this rumour saying those who are questioning The Rock’s fitness, going by his routine gym schedule, must understand that lifting weights and getting fit for a wrestling match are two different things. "I believe he just came out with a statement saying that he's not gonna be ready in time, which, that's the face that everyone's making, like, 'Hold on! He trains every single day. He's huge!' In his defence, it's one thing to train with weights, the bodybuilding, the look, the part... but, to be able to get in the ring and do a main event match, a championship match, it takes a lot of conditioning, it beats up your body," Roman said.

Live streaming details, start time and match cards Elaborating what really goes into getting fit for a wrestling match, and that too about main-eventing something like WrestleMania, the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion said an athlete must be conditioned in a different to square off in a wrestling ring. Praising his real-life elder cousin The Rock for maintaining his fitness and clicking at least two of the three boxed mentioned by him below, Roman said, "So, there's more that goes into it than training in the weight room. It's a professional athlete type of situation where you have to condition. He does two out of three things perfectly. His nutrition and weight training is on point, but you have to condition yourself, you gotta be ready to fall down."

WWE’s first PPV of the year – the Royal Rumble will get underway in less than ten days from now and the rumours are growing strong on who will stand tall at the end of both men’s and women’s rumble matches. While many are anticipating the former WWE champion, The Rock to make a surprise entrance at the event and eventually win it, the Brahma Bull has reportedly informed WWE about his plans of making an appearance at Rumble and then eventually at WrestleMania 39. As per the latest report, Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter is said to have an idea about Rock’s scheduling for the main event at Mania in Los Angeles this year.

As the WWE plans to finalise the schedule of WrestleMania 39 well in advance, they are reported to have reached out to The Rock to know about his final schedule. And as per Meltzer, The Rock is not ready right now to appear in the main event as he doesn’t feel he is in the ‘right shape’ for that. Not only this, as per The Rock, the chances of him getting in shape in time for the main event looks bleak too.

According to Meltzer, “We were told that unless he changes his mind in the next few days, since a deadline for Mania plans is coming, that he’s indicated he won’t have time to get into the kind of shape, he feels he needs to be in to do a main event match with Roman Reigns, but kept the door open for something in the future. Of course, it is a possibility that it’s something being kept a secret from everyone.”

This comes as a massive blow to the company as they were very keen on having Roman vs Rock main event on either nights at WrestleMania 39 this year.

Meanwhile, WWE being WWE had a plan B too if Rock failed to appear at WrestleMania – as Cody Rhodes was kept as the backup to face Roman Reigns in the main event.

WWE’s most-awaited PPV of the year - Royal Rumble is just around the corner and the rumours are growing high&nbsp;at the moment. With the addition of women’s Royal Rumble now, the list of wrestlers walking down the aisle has risen&nbsp;from 30 to 60,&nbsp;increasing&nbsp;the possibility of more and more surprises -&nbsp;something that makes the first major PPV of the year very unique and special. It is believed that by now the list of entrants in both men’s and women’s Royal Rumble are sorted, and according to an inside report, the company is ‘more than pleased’ with the surprises planned.

Earlier this week, the WWE announced that American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes will be in the 30-man Royal Rumble, disappointing a large number of fans who were hoping to see Cody return some time during the Rumble as a surprise. Explaining the decision as to why WWE decided to play differently in terms of Cody’s return, WrestleVotes – an insider, who in the past has broken many WWE scoops, in a tweet said, “Asked a source the reasoning behind Cody’s Rumble return being announced as opposed to a surprise...

With Edge, Rey Mysterio and Carlito being a few out-of-the-blue names that surprised everyone with their returns during the previous Rumbles, it would be exciting to see who makes it to the list this time.

WWE founder and former chairman,&nbsp;retired Vince McMahon is reportedly plotting a return to the company to pursue its sale, as per various sources. This comes as huge news for everyone connected to the wrestling world as Vince, who announced his retirement last year through a tweet, could well be seen walking down that aisle on any of the upcoming shows.

Vince’s resignation came after he was alleged to have paid money to unnamed female superstars over sexual favours. A special committee was assigned to take over the investigation on the matter while Vince cooperated well with them and even said this,

“I have pledged my complete cooperation to the investigation by the Special Committee, and I will do everything possible to support the investigation. I have also pledged to accept the findings and outcome of the investigation, whatever they are,” said McMahon.

Following his retirement, Vince’s daughter Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan took over as CO-CEOs, while Triple H was named the Head of the Creative. Under his tutelage, WWE has done seemingly well over the past many months.

As per the Wall Street Journal, Vince, who despite resigning holds majority of the power because of his possession of stocks, has reportedly informed the board that he is planning to comeback and will elect former associates alongside him as directors. For this to happen, the current board members will have to step down.

Vince’s potential return could again change the storyline landscape going forward. After his departure, WWE was given a new direction and should he return now, we could see major changes happening right from the word go. Since these are all speculations for&nbsp;now, all eyes will anyway remain on this;&nbsp;and it will be interesting to see how things pan out if Vince makes a return.

WWE: Ex-chairman Vince McMahon plotting a return to the company - Reports

While status of two legendary WWE superstars - John Cena and The Rock are unknown in terms of their chances of appearing at WrestleMania 39 next year, a WWE legend is rather locked in for the Show of Shows. That mega star is none other than the 'Rattlesnake' Stone Cold Steve Austin.&nbsp;

Stone Cold, who didn't wrestle for 19 years, ended the wait&nbsp;at WrestleMania last year when he faced Kevin Owens on Night 1 in a impromptu match. Not only this, the former WWE champion also appeared in a special segment on Night 2 involving Vince McMahon and Austin Theory. While his return to the grandest stage of them all made quite a few headlines in the wrestling world, in LA next year&nbsp;he is sure to be among the biggest draws as well.

As per Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, Stone Cold Steve Austin&nbsp;is more than likely to walk down that aisle on either Night 1 or Night 2 next year. Although it is unclear as in what capacity will he be returning.

“[John] Cena is a ‘probable’, and Dwayne [Johnson] is a ‘possible’,” while “[Steve] Austin is probably the surest of the three... it’s just a question of how he feels, and he’s gonna do what he feels like doing,” Dave Meltzer said.

What about John Cena and the Rock?

As per reports, John Cena is expected to be busy with his schedule during February-March but could take out time for an appearance at WrestleMania 39. However, the same cannot be said for the Brahma Bull 'The Rock'&nbsp;- who is likely to be involved in a feud in the main event with his real-life cousin Roman Reigns - the current World Champion.&nbsp;

With fans from all across the world wanting to see clash between The Rock&nbsp;and Roman Reigns, WWE will be trying very hard to&nbsp;make it a reality.

While status of two legendary WWE superstars - John Cena and The Rock are unknown in terms of their chances of appearing at WrestleMania 39 next year, a WWE legend is rather locked in for the Show of Shows.

While status of two legendary WWE superstars - John Cena and The Rock are unknown in terms of their chances of appearing at WrestleMania 39 next year, a WWE legend is rather locked in for the Show of Shows. That mega star is none other than the 'Rattlesnake' Stone Cold Steve Austin. Stone Cold, who didn't wrestle for 19 years, ended the wait at WrestleMania last year when he faced Kevin Owens on Night 1 in a impromptu match. Not only this, the former WWE champion also appeared in a special segment on Night 2 involving Vince McMahon and Austin Theory. While his return to the grandest stage of them all made quite a few headlines in the wrestling world, in LA next year he is sure to be among the biggest draws as well.

Legendary WWE superstar Kurt Angle says watching Chad Gable wrestle reminds him of his old days. The Hall of Famer, Kurt has always advocated the 36-year-old Chad as he's also an Olympian-turn-wrestler much like Kurt Angle.&nbsp;

Recently while speaking with Sportskeeda, Kurt talked about Chad in detail, not only showered praises on him but also explained why he thinks Chad hasn't been given a push that he deserves.

"That kid is incredible. He reminds me so much of myself. He's a little bit smaller, I think that's the reason why he hasn't been pushed as much as he should have. But he makes up for it with his intensity and his in-ring work and his technique," Kurt Angle said.

Kurt, who had won a gold medal with&nbsp;a broken neck at 1996 Atlanta, USA is impressed with how Chad goes about his business. Chad, who during the 2012 Summer Olympic in London won a gold medal for his country is super talented and technically very strong, as per Kurt.

The former WWE champion also said to not have Chad main event given his skillset is something that blows Kurt's mind.

Elaborating on what he thinks of Gable, Kurt said, "You know, in real life, he could whoop any of those wrestlers’ a**es. So, you know, he’s a real-life bada**. To not have him go to the main event level where he deserves to be, just blows my mind. Because he is very talented. Great technical wrestler, former Olympian, you can’t ask for anything more than that.”

The WWE Hall of Famer Barry Windham is in the ICU after suffering a massive heart attack on December 02 (Friday). Windham, a&nbsp;wrestling legend and&nbsp;uncle of Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas, remains one of the most popular figures in the WWE circuit and made a big name for himself by being involved in plenty of great matches in the 1980s and early 1990s.

Ever since the news spread like wildfire, Windham's ardent fans have taken to their social media platforms to pray for his speedy recovery. However, his situation isn't very encouraging as confirmed by his niece, who revealed that the family has set up a GoFundMe campaign in a bid to cover the 63-year-old Windham's medical expenses.&nbsp;

Here's Barry Windham's niece's heartfelt note for his avid fans worldwide:

'His&nbsp;darkest fear became a horrific reality as he went into cardiac arrest'

With deep sadness I regret to inform that my uncle, WWE Hall of Famer, Barry Windham suffered a massive heart attack Friday evening. While traveling through the Atlanta airport, his darkest fear became a horrific reality as he went into cardiac arrest. He is currently in the ICU and has undergone an emergency procedure to save his life. As a family, we are impatiently waiting to hear that he will be okay. But as of now, the future is uncertain.

As is the future for many in his position. And for those who have formerly devoted their lives to their craft. Barry Windham, has an iconically, decorated resume as an American professional wrestler. He traveled all over the world for decades, entertaining people of all ages with his athleticism and undeniable charisma.

After those countless years of wrestling matches, traveling and entertaining world wide, he experienced a number of taxing injuries and ended up undergoing multiple surgeries. That led to other health complications. Barry hung his boots for the last time in the early 2000’s. Since then he has been limited with work due to his medical history as well as left without health insurance.

To face these times is one of great stress and hardship. As well as one that comes with extensive medical expenses he is taking on. That is overwhelming to say the least.&nbsp;We are politely asking for any increment of financial assistance to help cover his medical expenses and bills and see him through this time.

Windham, who became a part of WWE's Hall of Fame in 2012,&nbsp;became a household name with much of his success coming through WCW and the NWA. In 1993, he was NWA World Heavyweight Champion after defeating The Great Muta. In addition, he&nbsp;had three separate WWE runs in his illustrious and lengthy career.&nbsp;

As we are nearing the 2023 Royal Rumble the speculations have started to grow about The Rock making an entrance and winning the Rumble, thus challenging Roman Reigns for a title at WrestleMania 39. As per Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, this possible blockbuster event could become a reality as the idea has been discussed by the WWE officials backstage.

It’s been some time since the rumours of this match going on the floor are taking rounds. Given their current statuses in their respective fields and knowing both are cousins in real life, this match has all the potential to break the internet, if it happens.

Even in the past both The Rock and Roman Reigns have expressed their views on this potential bout, claiming they are in for this if the time and conditions permit. A few months back only while giving an interview to Bleacher Report, the former WWE Champion, Dwayne ‘The Rock Johnson was asked who is the head of the table, to which he subtly and jokingly replied, “You are looking into his eyes...”. If anything indicates that we are up for The Rock vs Roman Reigns bout at WrestleMania 39, then this is it.

For The Rock vs Roman Reigns match to go ahead there could be a few scenarios. There’s always room for the build-up but given how busy the Brahma Bull keeps, this option goes out of the window. The other option that looks feasible is The Rock making an entrance at the 2023 Royal Rumble and winning it; as a result, he will go on to challenge the current self-claimed Head of the Table, Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39.

While Roman has held the world title for over 800 days now, The Rock last competed at a match seven years ago in WrestleMania 32. It would be interesting to see how the WWE makes this happen.

Ex-WWE star Cain Velasquez gets a hero’s welcome upon returning to wrestling following jail time

A lot happened on the first episode of WWE SmackDown after the Survivor Series WarGames 2022. The Bloodline kicked off the evening while Bray Wyatt also cut a promo backstage continuing his mysterious storyline. Moreover, the return of Tegan Nox also lit up the show with the final of SmackDown World Cup also taking place in the main event.

The Bloodline continued to make headlines. After standing victorious at the Survivor Series WarGames 2022, the team of Roman Reigns, The Usos, Sami Zayn, and Solo Sikoa started the show with Sami saying The Bloodline upped their game on past Saturday with Jey Uso also appreciating Sami for helping his team win. On this&nbsp;episode of SmackDown, Sami Zayn went one-on-one with Sheamus. After going back and forth, The Usos and The Brawling Brutes entered the scene&nbsp;with Jey eventually distracting the referee to help Sami win the match.

The drama continued during the women’s segment as well where the Damage CTRL bloated about how tough the Survivor Series WarGames night was. It was then only Liv Morgan came out of nowhere and attacked them. After taking down Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky early, Morgan went after Bayley. The numbers game, however, caught up with her. To save her day, Tegan Nox made her eventual return and floored the Damage CTRL. Going forward Morgan and Nox are likely to team up with The Man, Becky Lynch against Bayley, Dakota Kai, and Iyo Sky.

Although other segments including the Gunther and Kofi Kingston had some action exciting available for fans, what was the most-talking point of the night was the Ricochet vs Santos Escobar match for the WWE SmackDown World Cup.

Ricochet and Santos Escobar delivered a crazy match. Both exhibited their skills to the fullest with Ricochet doing enough to win the WWE SmackDown World Cup. This looks like a nice idea going ahead with Gunther and Ricochet for the Intercontinental in the pipeline. Expect Braun Strowman to play a part in this too.

However, there is no confirmed news as to when will that happen.

Sometime after Vince McMahon’s retirement, Triple H was handed the COO position and Eric was nothing but elated with this news. He said had Triple H been made the creative head when Eric was around, things would have been a lot different. Young further went on to say that he would anything for the cerebral assassin, Triple H.

“Things would have been way different for me [if Triple H had control at the time]. I would do anything for him. I'd run through a wall. Help him hide a dead body [laughs], whatever he asked me to do. I respect him that much,” Young said.

During his last stint, Eric Young was drafted to Monday Night RAW during the Superstar Shakeup, which also marked the end of SAnity – that included Alexander Wolfe, Killian Dain, Sawyer Fulton, and Nikki Cross.

WWE is likely to make a return to India for a mega event in January next year, as per a report from Sportskeeda. World Wrestling Entertainment, widely known as WWE, has&nbsp;a massive following in the Indian sub-continent, making it one of the most watched and followed live TV events in the world. Given the history of WWE superstars and their craze in this part of the world, this shouldn't come as a surprise that WWE aims to build on this going forward.
