Will Ospreay injury update

Will Ospreay is going to be back sooner than later. He is on track for a spring return, and he is already back to training.

Kate

WrestleMania card booking

The guy that retired John Cena after a year-long retirement tour does not have a clear program for WrestleMania. That is bad.

Kate

Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes

If anyone is going to lose to Randy Orton to give Randy Orton the never seen 17 or whatever he's chasing this time, I think Cody Rhodes is the guy to do so.

WrestleMania betting odds

Roman Reigns favorited over CM Punk. Rhea Ripley favorited over Jade Cargill. And Liv Morgan at a minus 500 over Steph Aker.

Kate

WrestleMania plans

WrestleMania watch parties are back on as well. That's something that just broke 13 minutes ago, according to Fightful Select.

Kate

Jelly Roll WrestleMania appearance

It was reported on WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select that Jelly Roll was expected to be in talks for a WrestleMania appearance.

Kate

Johnny Gargano contract

Johnny Gargano's contract status was asked about. They just said that he's firmly under contract at the moment.

Kate

WWE creative criticism

The fact that Aleister Black and Zelina are just Karrion Kross and Scarlett 2.0 is so insulting to the audience that has been watching for more than the past six to twelve months.

Kate

It's a new era where we do the same shit every week. That was the theme of SmackDown tonight.

Kate

Sami Zayn booking

I personally feel that wasn't a creative choice that was Sami Zayn doing his big one and you guys saw the dollar signs in it.
