#2. WWE's plans for the Hall of Fame ceremony

WWE has made a change to its Hall of Fame festivities this year as the event is rumored to happen on Friday night, April 1, from 10:30 to 12 Midnight EST.

PWInsider reports that the Hall of Fame ceremony will occur after the go-home SmackDown episode for WrestleMania 38.

The blue brand's final show before 'Mania will end at 10:00 PM EST, and a one-and-a-half-hour broadcast of the Hall of Fame event is expected to air immediately after the weekly episode.

The HOF show will be available on Peacock and the WWE Network, and based on the time slot, will compete in a head-to-head battle with AEW Rampage. Additionally, the company might not sell separate tickets for the Hall of Fame, and the event could be a bonus for fans who attend SmackDown.

We currently have no updates on the list of inductees, but that should change in the weeks to follow.

#1. Veer Mahan's teased return has become a rib in WWE

It's been several weeks since WWE started airing vignettes for Veer Mahan's return, but the former NXT star is yet to show up on TV.

Sean Ross Sapp reported on the latest episode of his Q&A podcast that Veer might not make it back on WWE's programming as his storyline has seemingly become a rib. Even if Veer does 'come to RAW,' he could quickly fade away quickly into obscurity.

"I'm not convinced he will, and when he does, I think he will just go away; it's a rib now at this point," said SRS. [H/T WrestlingNews]

Veer has been backstage at recent shows but has not been used, and it seems like his RAW return could get nixed soon.
