In addition, a recent report on the future of The Rock in wrestling and more. Let's start:
#4. Why Rhea Ripley dethroned Liv Morgan on WWE RAW?
Rhea Ripley has recovered her women's world championship as we approach WWE Wrestlemania 41. During an episode of Live Q&A in Backstage Pass, WrestleVotes He recently explained why Liv Morgan lost the title against Ripley.
It is not a secret that every year there are limited places for women on the Wrestlemania billboard. With the possible return of Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair to WWE, competition for these positions could be very intense.
WrestleVotes He explained how this probably affected the status of Liv Morgan as women's world champion:
“It becomes a number of numbers as we approach WrestleMania. Two fighting for the women's world title probably equally equal to four participants. They wanted Rhea Ripley, obviously, it was one of those. I think Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair will probably be two and three. And I just don't think they had a place for Liv Morgan there. So they decided to take away the title.”
#3. Last update about The Rock vs. Cody Rhodes
After all online speculation, it seems that Cody Rhodes against The Rock is not in the plans for Wrestlemania this year.
According to a report from Fightful SelectWWE is building a fight between Rhodes and John Cena in his place. This was the creative direction because within the company they do not expect The Rock to compete in Wrestlemania 41.
However, they are also “fully aware that things could change” in the coming months.
