#2 Veteran comments on Roman Reigns' return

Roman Reigns has hardly appeared on WWE programming on the Road to WrestleMania 41. The OTC was last seen in action at Royal Rumble 2025, following which he was written off TV due to a kayfabe injury.

Wrestling veteran Vince Russo shared his thoughts on the situation. He said WWE should keep The Head of the Table away from TV till WrestleMania 41 since many notable names were already active.

"If I were the WWE, I would hold Roman Reigns off till WrestleMania because when all this goes away, they are going to need something. I will not use Roman Reigns between now and WrestleMania. Yeah, you would say they wouldn't advertise him because they have [The] Rock, Cena, Cody and [Randy] Orton, and Jade Cargill."

#4 AJ Styles reveals he will retire in the next two years

AJ Styles is widely regarded as one of the greatest in-ring performers of all time. However, The Phenomenal One is in the twilight phase of his career. During a recent interview, Styles noted that he planned to hang up his boots by the age of 50, which is a little over two years from now.

"I’ve thought about it a lot, much more than I should have. I should have known what I was doing by now. But it’s so hard because you enjoy it so much and I enjoy being around my friends," AJ Styles said. I keep saying that. I’ve said this and said this, but I will not wrestle at 50, I promise you that."

Styles recently made his return from injury, following which he was drafted to RAW. The former world champion looks set to be involved in the Intercontinental Championship picture on the Road to WrestleMania 41.
