1. Cody Rhodes reveals what The Rock said after the star gave up his WrestleMania spot

Plans changed thanks to the fan response to this, but Cody Rhodes has revealed what The Rock whispered to him in that moment. In the end, Cody was the one to face Reigns and even became the champion.
"Him and I had an embrace. He told me something super sweet in my ear. I'm sure he doesn't mind me sharing, even though we're not best buddies, but he said, 'We're gonna make both our dads proud.' And I like smiled for a brief moment then I left," he said.
2. Cody Rhodes has set his retirement date from WWE
In shocking news, Cody Rhodes has dropped the fact that he plans to retire from wrestling in only six more years. He sees 45 years as his limit and says she will retire then.
While such plans often change, the star's announcement that he has a date in mind has caught fans by surprise, given that the star is the top name in the company right now and seems set for a huge run.
It appears that Rhodes has an end goal in mind for when he finally calls it quits from wrestling.
3. Becky Lynch update
A report by Fightful Select revealed that while WWE is open about bringing Becky Lynch back to the company after she left earlier this year following her contract expiry, the star has not talked about returning.
The report noted that she had been enjoying her time off from the company and that they were respecting it. This means that there will be no immediate return.
This comes after the star sent a message earlier in the year that potentially confirmed that she was retired and done with the wrestling business.
Fans will have to wait to see if the star returns or if she hangs up her boots.
