Hey wrestling fans! Welcome back to *The Sports Entertainer*. In today’s episode, we dive into the latest and most exciting wrestling news and rumors that you definitely don’t want to miss. Here are the top stories of the day:
**The Rock Suffers Injury Ahead of WrestleMania 40 Match**
The anticipation for WrestleMania 40 is reaching a fever pitch as we get closer to the Showcase of the Immortals. The Rock and Roman Reigns are set to face Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in a high-stakes match on WrestleMania night one, April 6th. This match has significant implications for night two’s Undisputed Championship bout between Reigns and Rhodes.
However, concern is growing over The Rock’s physical condition. Stevie Richards recently noted that The Rock’s current muscular physique could pose a risk of injury, given his age and recent inactivity in the ring. Richards speculates that The Rock might not be able to perform at his best and could even sustain an injury during the match, potentially impacting WWE’s long-term plans.
**Major Name Unhappy with The Rock’s Return**
While many fans are thrilled about The Rock’s return, there are whispers of discontent behind the scenes. Jonathan Coachman recently suggested on the *Behind the Turnbuckle* podcast that some WWE talents and executives might be unhappy with The Rock’s prominent role and his position as a high-ranking executive on the TKO board of directors. The concern is that The Rock’s return and significant involvement could overshadow other talents and disrupt the existing dynamics within WWE.
**Cody Rhodes Confirms Signing New WWE Contract**
In a piece of positive news, Cody Rhodes has confirmed signing a new contract with WWE, extending beyond his 40th birthday. During an interview with Justin Walker, Cody expressed his commitment to WWE while balancing his family life. This new deal, likely for at least two or three more years, ensures that Cody remains a central figure in WWE’s future plans. With this new contract in place, there is growing speculation that WWE might finally give Rhodes the Undisputed Title victory at WrestleMania 40, ushering in a new era for the company.
