#2 Seth Rollins comments on retirement
Seth Rollins has been going strong inside the squared circle for over two decades. The Visionary recently shared his thoughts on retirement, noting he could hang up his boots when he turns 45. Currently, Rollins is 38 years old.
"I’ll be 39 in May. You know, 45 maybe really sounds alright to me, I think. It’s kind of going to depend on what I do in the next few years as far as outside of WWE or behind the scenes in WWE. Both of those things are appealing to me. So just got to figure out what that feels like. But like my body’s definitely (…) I feel good right now. I feel very good," Rollins said.
Rollins was in action on RAW this past Monday when he faced CM Punk in a steel cage match. While The Visionary managed to win the match, he was brutally beaten down by Roman Reigns.
#3 Rhea Ripley issues an apology
Rhea Ripley has been going through a tough time in WWE. She recently lost the Women's World Championship to IYO SKY. While Mami initially accepted that it was her fault, she went off on Bianca Belair on RAW, which led to SKY slapping the two stars.
Belair and Ripley have been involved in an online war-of-words since the show. However, SKY once again stepped in and asked the two to put their mobile phones down. Mami then issued an apology to The Genius of the Sky.
The three women look set to face off for the Women's World Championship at WrestleMania 41. However, it has been announced that SKY will face Bianca Belair.
