We kick off today’s wrestling news with some intriguing updates on various fronts within the world of WWE and beyond.
First up, the contract status of Drew McIntyre has been a hot topic of discussion as Wrestlemania 40 draws near. With McIntyre set to face Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship, speculation has been rampant regarding his future with the company. Despite no official confirmation, signs point to McIntyre likely having quietly re-signed with WWE, given his prominent Wrestlemania spot. McIntyre himself has remained tight-lipped on the matter, stating in a recent interview that contract discussions have been ongoing for some time. Nonetheless, it seems improbable that WWE would feature McIntyre in such a pivotal match without assurance of his continued tenure.
Meanwhile, concerns have arisen regarding the health of Asuka, one-half of the Women’s Tag Team Champions, following an injury sustained on Friday Night Smackdown. Reports indicate that Asuka injured her knee during the broadcast, prompting her removal from weekend live events for medical evaluation. Fans are anxiously awaiting updates on Asuka’s condition as Wrestlemania approaches, hoping for a swift recovery for the talented wrestler.
In other news, speculation has been rife about the potential return of Matt Hardy to WWE. Despite his current affiliation with AEW, Hardy’s contract is reportedly set to expire soon, leading to speculation about his next career move. Hardy’s attendance at Monday Night Raw, alongside his wife Reby, has fueled rumors of a possible return to WWE. Given the creative opportunities and financial incentives WWE could offer, a return to the company may be in the cards for Hardy, much to the excitement of fans eagerly awaiting his next chapter.
Lastly, clarification has emerged regarding an apparent backstage incident involving CM Punk and Booker T. After Booker T’s podcast comments stirred controversy, he recently addressed the situation, emphasizing that his remarks were meant for entertainment purposes only. CM Punk, widely regarded as a professional in his WWE return, has shown no signs of reverting to past behaviors. As such, the alleged altercation appears to be a mere product of speculative chatter rather than factual reality.
