WWE WrestleMania 41 Week is winding down, and more behind-the-scenes stories are beginning to emerge. With so many wrestling promotions in Las Vegas to piggy-back off the success as they do every year, it's a given that there will be various conflicts from scheduling to personal. Sources are now revealing what happened with a few wrestling legends and what officials might be working on.

World Wrestling Entertainment has something of a working relationship with GCW, which hosts an annual series of events during WrestleMania Week called The Collective. A Senior Scramble was held on Friday at Joey Janela's Spring Break 9. A swerve saw Ricky Morton, Robert Gibson, Mike Jackson, George South, and Damian 666 defeat Kerry Morton. The next night at Joey Janela's Spring Break: Clusterf**k Forever, a Battle Royal featured dozens of random stars, including winner Brodie Lee Jr. The Warlord, known to many as the tag team partner of The Barbarian, forcefully eliminated four WWE ID talents at one point.

The Powers of Pain were spotted in the crowd at the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Friday night. A new report from Fightful Select notes that The Warlord was pulled from the Senior Scramble at GCW's Friday show so that he could attend the Hall of Fame with The Barbarian.

Sources have speculated on what the situation with Warlord and Barbarian could mean. The latest update from backstage reveals that The Powers of Pain were supposed to meet with officials at some point in Las Vegas. It wasn't clear what business the company might have with the former Super Destroyers, or how the meeting went, but a WWE Legends contract is now rumored.

Officials reportedly discontinued the Legacy Wing in 2021, but it was brought back this year with inductees announced ahead of time, and their families brought in. There are now 46 Legacy inductees.
