WWE has had a wild week, with The Rock joining the TKO Board of Directors, a 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 WWE Universal Title at WrestleMania, while Rhea Ripley and IYO Sky’s opponents will be announced soon.
WrestleVotes reports that there are several card variations on the table, and the company will consider nearly everything when developing a new card.
