#2. Stephanie McMahon sends a message to Triple H
Stephanie McMahon announced her departure from WWE in 2023 after working with the company for decades. The Billion Dollar Princess has made sporadic appearances since then, mostly seen among the crowd at major shows.

#3. Current WWE champion teases heel turn
NXT Tag Team Champion Nathan Frazer recently teased a heel turn after his segment with Randy Orton.
The Legend Killer advised the rising star that he could benefit from sometimes embracing his villainous side, following which Frazer teased a heel turn by taking a shot at Je'Von Evans:
"Je’von Evans isn’t who you think he is. He’s been handed any and every opportunity on a silver platter since he got here and now he thinks he’s the man and can do whatever the hell he wants…He’s a child. A petulant little child. #MASSIVEFRAUD," he wrote.
Evans and Frazer came face-to-face on NXT this week where the latter's trash talk resulted in him getting slapped by the Young OG. He took a shot at Evans after the segment.
#4. Cody Rhodes completes 200 days as the Undisputed WWE Champion
Cody Rhodes ended Roman Reigns' historic title reign at WrestleMania 40 to become the new Undisputed WWE Champion. The American Nightmare has now held the title for 200 days.
Cody is currently involved in a program with Gunther and the duo will face off for the Crown Jewel championship at the namesake premium live event. He will also have to keep a close eye on Kevin Owens who is currently suspended.
