#3. Rikishi addresses Naomi's situation

Speaking in your podcast Rikishi Fatu Off The Topthe member of the WWE Hall of Fame said he was “wounded” and “confused” throughout the situation. He also wanted to have the opportunity to talk to his daughter -in -law Naomi and Cargill:
“I am baffled like everyone else out there. I am injured, I am confused, and I uploaded a photo of the four on my Instagram page. I love both girls unconditionally (Naomi and Jade Cargill). But seeing this to happen in front of the whole world, I am confused and I feel that I am divided between the two. What can a father do to fix this between these ladies? others;
Rikishi often discusses current stories in his podcast, so it will be interesting to see if WWE decides to include it at some angle at some point.
#2. Mandy Rose is earning a lot of money after her departure from WWE
Mandy Rose lost her NXT women's championship against Roxanne Perez on December 13, 2022 and was released from WWE the next day. The popular star recently discussed her life after World Wrestling Entertainment in her podcast Power Alphas
“I wake up when I want, I do what I want, and I don't have to receive blows or be on the road more than 300 days. Basically I win 10 times the amount of money I earned in WWE in a year. That is crazy.”
Mandy Rose also approached the circumstances surrounded by her departure from the company, pointing out that she was “farewell without any warning:”
“Suddenly I go and do this on my own, having a direct relationship with my fans making exclusive content, and suddenly in 24 hours they strip me of my 413 -day title reign, they fire me without any warning, and I am there as 'Wait, what?'”
Things seem to have gone well for Mandy Rose anyway, since its fans base has remained with it outside the world of professional wrestling.
#1. Drew McIntyre hints big plans with The Rock
Fans have been speculating on who more could join The Rock in WWE after John Cena sold their soul to the Hollywood megaestrella. Interestingly, Drew McIntyre could be that man. McIntyre spoke recently with Adam’s Apple And he advanced great things on the horizon after a conversation with The Rock:
“When signing again last year and knowing where the company was going, The Rock sent the sword. He has always been on my side. I had the opportunity to talk to him in Elimination Chamber, and there are some things on the horizon. They will be quite large once they become public.”
Since the rivalry between The Rock and Cody Rhodes is far from finishing, Drew McIntyre could take advantage of the situation in an important way. If Rhodes is still WWE's undisputed champion after Wrestlemania 41, McIntyre could use the influence of Hollywood mega -stress to win the world title again.
