It’s been a wild week for WWE from The Rock joining the TKO Board of Directors, signing the deal with Netflix for Raw in January 2025, the Vince McMahon lawsuit, and changes to the WrestleMania 40 card.

Cody Rhodes is expected to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at WrestleMania while Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley and Women’s Champion IYO Sky will find out their opponents soon.
