Raquel Rodriguez Predicts Double-Champion Status After WWE Raw Win

During the March 10, edition of WWE Raw, Raquel Rodriguez defeated Bayley to become the number one contender for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Speaking in a WWE Raw Digital Exclusive, Rodriguez was confident in her chances against The Valkyrie.

“You know what’s gonna happen to Lyra? The same thing that happened to Bayley tonight. So, yeah, I am very excited because pretty soon I’m gonna have have two of these bad boys [gestures to her Women’s Tag Team Title belt.]”

Raquel isn’t the only Judgment Day member hoping to become a double champion. In the video, Liv Morgan said that both she and Raquel will soon be double champions. Morgan clearly has plans to regain the WWE Women’s World Championship, a title she lost back in January to Rhea Ripley.

More Gold for the Judgment Day?

The Judgment Day has held plenty of titles over the years, including the Women’s World Title, WWE Tag Team Titles, Women’s Tag Team Titles, NXT North American Championship and Money in the Bank. In addition to Rodriguez’s quest to win the Women’s Intercontinental Title, the Men’s title could also soon be with the group. On Raw, Dominik Mysterio shared that he had acquired a title match for Finn Balor against Bron Breakker for the March 17, Raw in Brussels, Belgium.

Whether The Judgment Day wins either Intercontinental Championship remains to be seen but the faction has gold in its sights. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on the Judgment Day and their pursuit of more championship titles in WWE.

Seth Rollins Reveals Tentative Retirement Age

Seth Rollins has revealed his tentative retirement plan.

The Architect recently had an interview with WFAN. He talked about things such as how things have changed in the wrestling business since he debuted in WWE, Travis Scott’s involvement in John Cena’s heel turn and more.

Discussing the topic of athletes in different sports, Rollins noted how wrestlers are able to extend their careers because they’re storytellers and the wrestling audience is much more forgiving to lapses in physicality than other sports. Seth was then asked if he himself knows when he might retire from in-ring action. The former World Champion said that it’ll depend on how things develop in the next few years:

“No, I’ll be 39 in May. You know, 45 maybe really sounds all right 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.”

I’m More Behind The Scenes Guy: Seth Rollins

The hosts brought up the possibility of Seth Rollins following the footsteps of someone like Jesse Venture and becoming a commentator after the end of his in-ring career. The former Shield member, however, said that he’d rather have a role behind the camera than in front of it once he hangs his boots:

“I think I’m more behind-the-scenes guy when it’s time for me to finish up. Like I’d like to be on the other side of it. I don’t want to be like a character in front of it anymore. Once I’m done in the ring, like let me go back, let me help, you know, the business. Let me help the young guys and girls, let me do something like that… Yeah, maybe something in the creative department. We’ll see.”

Seth Rollins has been testing the waters for an acting career in recent times. He even shot stuff for Captain America: Brave New World but his part was ultimately cut from the movie.

GUNTHER Calls WrestleMania A Mercy-Killing Ahead of Jey Uso Showdown

During the March 10, edition of WWE Raw, Jey Uso defeated Grayson Waller and was able to fend off an attack by A-Town Down Under after the match. However, GUNTHER was able to get a surprise ambush on ‘Main Event Jey’ and the segment ended with the World Heavyweight Champion standing tall.

Speaking in a WWE Raw Digital Exclusive after the segment, GUNTHER was asked about Jey’s resiliency, a trait the Ring General believes his WrestleMania 41 adversary does not possess.

“Resiliency? The only one resilient here is me because I uphold the highest standard for myself and the World Heavyweight Championship.”

GUNTHER continued to berate Jey as the King of the Ring claimed he’s beaten stronger, better, wrestlers than Jey. While Hey may have enjoyed “promoting that stupid four-letter catchphrase,” GUNTHER had four letters in mind for Uso this April inside Allegiant Stadium.

“When you walk into Las Vegas, it’s not gonna be the highlight of a sad twenty-year, play the second fiddle career. It’s gonna be the mercy killing of the Jey Uso experiment. Four letters, one word. Hell.”

Jey earned a title match by winning the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match in one of the most shocking wins in the history of the match-type. While Jey is ready to bring the ‘Yeet Army’ to Las Vegas, GUNTHER is ready to spoil the fun of Uso and his fans this April at WrestleMania 41.

Andrew Schulz Vows Payback On Logan Paul After WWE Raw In MSG

On the March 10, edition of WWE Raw from MSG, Logan Paul got physical with comedian and proud New Yorker Andrew Schulz. Things could’ve gone from bad for worse for Schulz had AJ Styles not made the save in the World’s Most Famous Arena.

Speaking in a WWE Raw Digital Exclusive after the show, Schulz recalled once being friends with Paul and talked about the pair appearing on one another’s podcasts. Despite this, Schulz believes his former friend isn’t right for wrestling, especially with full-time talent hungry for an oppoetunity.

“We’re not here to see Logan parade around as this part-time wrestler-slash-Pokémon card collector, whatever the hell he does. There are people who have dedicated their lives to this s***, and I want to see them.”

Schulz concluded by taking aim at Paul once more for being a part-timer. The comedian then claimed that he’ll cross paths with the former U.S. Champion once again.

“I’m gonna bump into Logan again, and this time, we’re gonna be a little bit more prepared, and it’s gonna be a little bit less cordial. That’s all I’m trying to say.”

Despite Schulz’s threat, all signs point towards Paul Vs. Styles at WrestleMania 41. While the part-time schedule and the attitude of Logan Paul continues to anger many, his skills in the ring have put the content-creator in line for a showdown against one of wrestling’s most ‘Phenomenal’ stars.

The Rock Shares Unseen Footage From Elimination Chamber

The Rock has shared a new point of view on the shocking events of Elimination Chamber.

The People’s Champion became the catalyst for one of the most shocking turns in the history of wrestling when he prompted John Cena to turn heel and attack the Undisputed WWE Champion. The wrestling world is still abuzz with the surprising turn of events at the latest WWE PPV.

The Rock rejoined this discussion on Monday when he shared some new backstage footage of the PPV night and claimed that he ‘loves playing the good guy’:

John Cena has not been seen on WWE TV since the March 1 event. Cody Rhodes has addressed his turn in Cena’s absence saying his aspiration to win the 17th world title is a delusion.

The Cenation Leader, however, is scheduled to return to TV for the first time since his heel turn at next week’s episode of the Red Branded Show from Brussels, Belgium.

The show which has a special start time of 3 pm ET/12 pm PT will also feature a number of big matches including an IC Championship match between Finn Balor and Bron Breakker.

It’s unknown when or if The Rock will join this storyline again but for now, he seems to be content watching things unfold from afar.

Cody Rhodes: John Cena’s 17th WWE World Title is a Delusion

Cody Rhodes isn’t backing down from John Cena, and he made that clear during his promo on the March 10 episode of WWE Raw. Kicking off the second hour of the show, Rhodes wasted no time calling out Cena, first informing the crowd that Cena wasn’t in the building. Addressing the WWE icon’s heel turn, Rhodes shared that he doesn’t have an issue with the turn, but Cena’s actions since then.

“I don’t begrudge Cena for siding with The Rock. What I take issue with are his positive messages on social media—like a clueless child who needs to be yelled at by a teacher.”

Rhodes didn’t stop there, calling John’s aspiration to a 17th WWE World Championship “One man’s fantasy and delusion.” Wrapping up, Rhodes told the fans in New York City, as well as Cena, that “I am now the captain of WWE.

The war of words between Rhodes and Cena is only intensifying, and with the two set to come face-to-face on the March 17 episode of WWE Raw, tensions could escalate even further. Cena and Rhodes will battle at WrestleMania 41 in one of the most anticipated title matches in years.

Watch: Mystery Masked Superstar Who Is Not Chad Gable Debuts On Raw

A new masked superstar has joined the ranks of American Alpha and it’s definitely not Chad Gable.

The former Olympian had been on an expedition the last few weeks, trying to find a solution to his ‘Lucha problem.’ Last week’s episode of Raw saw Gable finally finding what he’s been looking for in the form of a mystery box.

This week’s episode of the Monday Night show then featured a tag team match between Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee of LWO and The New Day. The faces looked in control of the bout until a mysterious masked man showed up.

The masked star attacked Dragon Lee with a Frankensteiner and a jumping headbutt. When Rey Mysterio came out to confront him, the mystery star grabbed the WWE Hall of Famer and delivered a delayed German suplex.

This distraction allowed The New Day to capitalize and they won the match with an Up Up Down Down on Rey. The masked superstar on the other hand ran away as the security tried to apprehend him.

Cathy Kalley questioned Chad Gable about the attack later in the night but he denied being the one behind the mask. As she was pressing the issue, the security appeared behind them with the mystery star.

This development absolutely and completely absolves Chad Gable from the accusations. The big question after the show is who is behind the mask if not the American Alpha leader.

Roman Reigns Attacks Rollins & Punk in WWE Raw Return

Roman Reigns made a dominant return to Raw, taking out both Seth Rollins and CM Punk in a chaotic ending that all but confirms the rumored triple-threat match at WrestleMania.

During a steel cage match between Rollins and Punk, Rollins was on the verge of victory after delivering a stomp from the middle rope. However, just as he went for the pin, the cage door unexpectedly swung open—revealing Reigns on the outside.

Reigns pulled Rollins out of the cage, inadvertently handing him the win. Before Rollins could react, Reigns leveled him with a superman punch, a spear, and even a curb stomp of his own.

Reigns then turned his attention to Paul Heyman, who was inside the cage consoling Punk. Without hesitation, Reigns entered the ring, drove Punk into the steel, and followed up with a brutal spear. As Raw went off the air, Reigns stood tall over Punk while Heyman backed into a corner.

This attack comes after Rollins, enraged over his Royal Rumble elimination, took out Reigns with a stomp on the steel steps in an effort to get at Punk. With all three men now locked in a heated rivalry, it appears WWE is moving forward with the long-rumored triple-threat match for WrestleMania.

How Paul Heyman Is Shaping WWE’s Next Generation on and off Camera

Paul Heyman discusses WWE’s Netflix transition, its impact on storytelling, and how he’s mentoring future stars like Bron Breakker while shaping the industry’s next era.

WWE’s move to Netflix marks a turning point for the company, and Paul Heyman is ready to embrace the change. The first WWE Raw episode on the streaming platform featured a high-profile match between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa, with Heyman playing a critical role in shaping the storyline. The company’s $5 billion, 10-year deal with Netflix signals a shift from a niche entertainment brand to a mainstream powerhouse. In an interview with Alex Weprin for The Hollywood Reporter, the professional wrestling mastermind touted today’s boom period.

“Before COVID, it was a boutique industry, it was niche, it was a guilty pleasure,” Heyman explains. “Now, with the distribution on Netflix, it’s no longer boutique, now it’s certified main street.”

The transition isn’t just about a new platform—it’s about evolving WWE’s storytelling. Heyman compares his role to a film composer, enhancing the emotional weight of each moment.

“Even if the scene is only with me, I’m there to advance the story and explain it to you in sound bites that hopefully go viral,” he says.

Roman Reigns’ “Tribal Chief” character exemplifies this evolution. Heyman, who played a key role in its development, drew inspiration from Apocalypse Now.

“When Roman Reigns and I came up with the character, I had Roman study Apocalypse Now, because the initial launch of the Tribal Chief to me was Colonel Kurtz,” Heyman reveals.

“The burden of leadership, the burden of the worship, the burden of the expectations… it’s so heavy on Kurtz that he resents everyone around him for relying on him.”

Heyman’s influence extends beyond the screen. Backstage, he mentors top talent like Reigns and rising stars such as Bron Breakker. WWE Chief Creative Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque praises Heyman’s ability to refine talent.

“I have Heyman spend a lot of time with [Breakker] to help develop his promos, to help develop his character, to help push him in a direction.”

With WrestleMania 41 on the horizon, Heyman remains focused on WWE’s future, leveraging Netflix’s reach and the power of social media. He sees platforms like TikTok and YouTube as integral to the company’s storytelling.

“I openly invite easter eggs and conspiracy theories in every scene that we do, and we intentionally drop them in there,” he says.

As WWE enters its next phase, Heyman believes the challenge is to balance tradition with innovation. “In that regard, it’s still the same,” he says, comparing wrestling to live concerts.

“However, we now have to offer more. We now have to take those performances from the couch and bring that soap opera to play out.”

Seth Rollins: Travis Scott Doesn’t Need To Be In A Wrestling Ring With These Giants

Travis Scott played a key role in a pivotal moment at WWE Elimination Chamber, where John Cena turned heel on Cody Rhodes and aligned with The Rock. However, during the segment, Scott forcefully slapped Rhodes in the head, reportedly causing a ruptured eardrum. As a result, Rhodes now wears an earplug in his left ear when his entrance pyro goes off.

During an interview on WFAN, Seth Rollins was asked about Scott’s involvement and the slap, adding to the controversy. Scott has since started selling “Wrestling Is Real” merchandise. Rollins shared his thoughts on the situation, saying:

“I have mercy on Travis Scott. That is not a man that needs to be in a wrestling ring with these giant humans. No offense to him, but he’s a cruiserweight, brother. He can wrestle Rey Mysterio, maybe. He doesn’t know what he’s doing in there. He just whacked him in the side of the head, gave him a big ol’ bruise, busted him open—just awful. If Cody gets his hands on him, it’s done and dusted. Cody isn’t like Braun Strowman or Andre the Giant; he’s not a massive guy, but he dwarfs Travis Scott. If he can get through Travis’ team of people, it’s game over for him. Cody is a very nice guy—I won’t speak on his behalf—but he has an undercurrent of frustration, especially when he gets taken advantage of in a situation like that, absolutely.”

According to the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that there is internal heat on Scott for the incident. Some within WWE have questioned why he was involved in the segment at all.

Andrew Schulz Gets Physical on WWE Raw After Logan Paul’s Attack

Comedian Andrew Schulz got more than he bargained for on Monday’s WWE Raw after Logan Paul singled him out during his in-ring promo. Paul, who was met with loud boos from the New York crowd, mocked AJ Styles and Cody Rhodes before turning his attention to Schulz.

Paul claimed Schulz had only come to see the steel cage match between CM Punk and Seth Rollins, not him. Frustrated, Paul yanked Schulz over the barricade and tossed him into the ring. Just as Paul set up for a suplex, AJ Styles’ music hit, sending the crowd into a frenzy.

Styles rushed the ring, immediately dropping Paul with a clothesline before delivering a Phenomenal Forearm. As Paul rolled out of the ring, Styles grabbed a microphone and challenged him to return. Instead, Paul retreated, leaving Schulz and Styles to celebrate in front of the electrified crowd.

Andrew Schulz’s new comedy special “LIFE” is now streaming on Netflix.

Bianca Belair Claps Back at Fans Accusing Her of Attacking Jade Cargill

Bianca Belair is shutting down speculation that she was behind the recent attack on Jade Cargill. In a fiery social media post, the EST of WWE made her frustration clear, flipping off the camera and hitting a signature DX crotch chop while delivering a strongly worded response to the accusations.

Belair expressed disbelief that fans seriously thought she had anything to do with the attack, calling out the “made-up evidence” and “think pieces” circulating online. She admitted the situation made her feel like she was “going crazy” and even tainted her Elimination Chamber victory.

“The switch up game is WILLLDDDD,” Belair wrote, acknowledging how things might have looked suspicious. However, she stood firm, saying that fans will one day realize she’s “a real one” and sarcastically telling doubters to “cue the video” if they still believe she was involved.

The former Raw and SmackDown Women’s Champion also opened up about how much the situation has affected her, calling it “some of the hardest ish” she’s ever dealt with. With WrestleMania approaching, she admitted she’s struggling to focus, ending her message with, “How the F am I supposed to focus on Mania?!!!!”

Belair’s response makes it clear—she’s not here for the rumors and just wants to move forward. However, with Cargill still searching for answers, the drama surrounding the attack is far from over.

‘Gutsy Call’ – Undertaker Defends WWE Over Jey Uso’s Royal Rumble Win

The Undertaker is shutting down critics of Jey Uso’s surprise Royal Rumble victory, calling it a “gutsy” move by WWE’s creative team. On his Six Feet Under podcast, Undertaker praised the decision, comparing Uso’s singles rise to Shawn Michaels’ breakout after The Rockers.

“It was unexpected,” Undertaker admitted. “I don’t think too many people had Jey Uso winning that thing. He wasn’t on my bingo card.

You figured it’d be CM Punk, maybe a dark horse like Cena. But when you sit back and think about it, it was a gutsy call. And honestly? I loved it.”

Uso’s victory upset some fans who expected Punk or Cena to win. Undertaker addressed the backlash head-on.

“Sometimes fans get a little too entitled,” he said. “They want what they want, and if they don’t get it, they lose their minds. People need to chill out and enjoy the ride. WrestleMania isn’t tomorrow. There’s a lot of wrestling between the Rumble and Mania.”

Undertaker also emphasized just how over Jey Uso has become.

“Listen, Jey is as over as anybody right now. That ‘Yeet’ chant? That’s a movement.

Every time he walks out, the whole place is doing it. He made the transition from tag team to singles star, and that’s hard to do. Not a lot of guys can pull that off at this level.”

Praise for Bron Breakker

Beyond Uso, Undertaker also praised Bron Breakker for his explosive performance, particularly his viral spear on IShowSpeed, which racked up over 300 million views.

“That was violent,” Undertaker said. “Dude can generate some power. That was one of the craziest spears I’ve ever seen. Speed had no idea what hit him.”

Bron Breakker’s Door Is Always Open To Alliance With Paul Heyman

He also reiterated how much Charlotte Flair’s return added to the event, reinforcing why WWE made the right creative decisions.

“With Jey winning, Charlotte’s return, and Breakker making an impact, that was a hell of a Rumble,” he said. “People need to trust the process.”

As WrestleMania approaches, Undertaker urged fans to let the story play out.

“WWE knows what they’re doing,” he said. “People just need to sit back, shut up, and enjoy the damn ride.”

Steve Austin Returns to Off-Road Racing Just 13 Weeks After Knee Replacement

Stone Cold Steve Austin isn’t letting a major knee surgery keep him out of the driver’s seat. Just 13 weeks after undergoing a full knee replacement, the WWE Hall of Famer is preparing for one of the most punishing off-road races in the world—the Mint 400.

“I’m about 13 weeks out, and it really takes about a year for these things to fully heal up,” Austin revealed on Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez.

“So it’s still a little bit tender. Just got back in the car and started driving again, and we’re about to run the Mint 400. It’s probably the roughest race I’ve ever driven, so if I can just keep my knee together—that’s my brake leg—I’m just going to do the best I can.”

Austin’s love for off-road racing has only grown since he first got involved, but the Mint 400 will be one of his biggest tests yet. The 550-mile endurance race from Las Vegas to Reno features brutal desert terrain, extreme conditions, and no scheduled stops.

“I’m out of pain now because they cut all that arthritis out when they put that new joint in there, so I’m in a good place, but I’ve got some work to do,” Austin said.

“I just want to finish a race. I’d love to see Zach [Kissman] on the podium, and if I can be up there too, even better.”

Fans can track Austin’s progress live, as his team will be streaming their race in real time using Star Stream internet. For more on Stone Cold Steve Austin’s return to racing:

‘Then What?’ – Undertaker Questions John Cena Winning His 17th World Title

The Undertaker is unsure whether WWE should give John Cena a record-breaking 17th world championship, but he acknowledges that it would be a major moment.

On Six Feet Under, Undertaker discussed Cena’s farewell tour and what a title win would mean for his legacy.

“I don’t know if it’s best for business, but I do know it would be a very special moment,” he said.

Cena has teased a title run, recently stating that winning a 17th world championship would be “what’s best for business.” Undertaker sees the appeal but wonders how WWE would handle the aftermath.

“If Cena wins, then what?” he asked. “You’ve taken people on this tremendous ride. He has to drop it eventually. Do you retire with the belt? That doesn’t feel right.”

Undertaker believes Cena would want to put over a younger talent before stepping away. “For what he’s done for the industry, he deserves it,” he said. “But how do you get the belt off of him?”

With Cena’s WWE career winding down, fans are left to wonder whether he’ll leave as a 17-time champion or simply on his own terms.

The Dead Man isn’t the only WWE legend questioning if the villainous John Cena should win a record-setting 17th world title in his retirement year:

Undertaker & HBK Went ‘Black Ops’ to Surprise Triple H with Hall of Fame Induction News

The Undertaker revealed the extreme lengths taken to keep Triple H’s surprise WWE Hall of Fame induction a secret, calling it a “Black Ops kind of deal.”

Speaking on his Six Feet Under podcast, Undertaker detailed how he and Shawn Michaels were approached by WWE President Nick Khan to organize the honor since Triple H would never put himself in.

“He is not going to put himself in the Hall of Fame,” Undertaker said. “And if there’s anybody that deserves it, it’s him. It had to be done.”

Undertaker and Michaels kept the plan under wraps, with only a handful of people knowing until the last minute. To maintain secrecy, they were hidden backstage while Triple H was on stage for a company meeting.

“They sneak us into the building,” Undertaker explained. “They didn’t even tell Stephanie [McMahon]. She had no clue.”

The surprise unfolded when Michaels’ music hit, followed by Undertaker’s, catching Triple H completely off guard.

“That was a really, really special, cool moment,” Undertaker added. “I was honored to be a part of it.”

With the Hall of Fame ceremony approaching, Triple H’s speech is expected to be one of the most highly anticipated moments of the year.

Seth Rollins: Pro Wrestling Is ‘Much Healthier’ Than It Was 12 Years Ago

Seth Rollins recently shared his satisfaction with the evolving landscape of professional wrestling, emphasizing how the industry has become more “user-friendly” for its performers.

In an interview with WFAN Radio, Rollins highlighted the significant improvements compared to the 1980s and 1990s, noting that wrestlers today have a better work-life balance and more time with their families. He also pointed out that even since his WWE main roster debut in 2012, his demanding schedule has been drastically reduced.

“The business has changed so much, it’s evolved so much. And it’s so much more, you know, user-friendly, I suppose, for us as performers,” Rollins said. “The schedule is way pared down even from when I started back in 2012. I went from wrestling 200-plus matches a year to now maybe doing like 50 at most.”

Despite the lighter schedule, Rollins confirmed that his earnings have significantly increased.

“The money is a little better [laughs]. The money is a little better,” he said. “The business is in a much healthier place than it was, you know, 12 years ago. So—it’s fantastic. And, yeah, you’re right, dude. Those guys [from past eras], it wrecked families. The business wrecked families. Because what are you going to do? You’re on the road for a month at a time. There [was] no oversight, there’s no help to get you healthy, you’re just constantly running and running, and it wears you down.”

Meanwhile, Rollins is set to face CM Punk in a steel cage match on tonight’s Raw. Their rivalry is expected to extend to WrestleMania 41, with rumors suggesting a potential triple-threat match involving Rollins, Punk, and Roman Reigns. WrestleMania 41 will take place in Las Vegas on April 19 and 20.

‘Crash Out Jey’ – Uso Teases Aggressive New Persona for WrestleMania

Jey Uso is ready to turn up the intensity as he heads toward his World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania. While speaking on Cheap Heat, Uso teased a shift back to his more ruthless side, especially as he prepares to face Gunther.

“Man, don’t take me back to where I used to just beat the hell out of people… but I think dealing with Gunther, I need to dip back.”

Uso explained that he’s stepping away from the bright colors and fresh gear he’s been known for, opting instead for a more stripped-down, no-nonsense look.

“Let me take all these bright ass colors off… go back to the red and black, the black pants, white joggers, and just run through, bro.”

This could signal a return to the persona that made him feared during his time as Roman Reigns’ “Right Hand Man.”

When asked what this new mode should be called, Uso had a fitting response:

“Crash out Jey.”

Uso knows that this could be a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and he’s leaving nothing to chance.

“I’m trying to be the best version of myself for this one time in my life… because this might be the last time.”

With WrestleMania looming, it sounds like Gunther may be facing the most dangerous version of Jey Uso yet. He sounds hyped, but Gunther is also supremely confident headed into their upcoming clash:

Stone Cold Steve Austin has praised the mic work of one of the current WWE stars in his own unique way.

The wrestling legend recently had an interview with Adrian Hernandez. He talked about things such as his recent knee replacement surgery, potential WrestleMania 41 appearance, and more.

During the interview, Steve Austin was also asked about his thoughts on CM Punk. The Attitude Era star first recalled the famous picture of himself with a younger Punk and said that he is a fan of the Straight Edge Star:

“Well, me and Punk are friends from way back. There was a picture back from, you know, probably in my heyday and you know, he’s a lot younger than I am and we got a picture there together and he’s just a young kid. And so I think, you know, he was a Stone Cold fan back in the day and I’m a CM Punk fan.”

Steve Austin who is considered one of the greatest mic workers of all time also offered big praise to CM Punk for his promo skills. He said that the current WWE star can light somebody up when he wants to:

“I’m a fan of his work and his promos. Jesus Christ, he can light somebody up. So, you know, we don’t talk a whole lot. We’ll send each other a text every now and then, but we’re probably really, really good friends that don’t talk a whole lot and have a lot of mutual respect for each other. I enjoy what he does.”

CM Punk has never been shy about his appreciation for Austin’s work either. He has named the Texas Rattlesnake as his dream opponent on multiple occasions.

Jey Uso Pushing for Hip-Hop Icons at WrestleMania: ‘That Might Mean Kendrick, Maybe Cardi’

Jey Uso has already shared the stage with some of the biggest names in hip-hop, but he’s not done yet. On Cheap Heat, he hinted that he’s looking for another iconic rap entrance at WrestleMania in Las Vegas.

“I need somebody that people go crazy for… that might mean Kendrick. Maybe Cardi. Maybe Drake.”

Uso has made a habit of blending wrestling and hip-hop culture. Last year, he entered WrestleMania with Lil Uzi Vert, and at the Netflix WrestleMania Launch Party, he made his entrance alongside Travis Scott. When asked about his next major collaboration, he seemed open to a variety of options.

“I need a female too. Maybe Cardi. Maybe Megan.”

With SummerSlam taking place in New York this year, Rosenberg floated the idea of Cardi B joining him for an entrance at that event.

“Come on now, why not? When I come in as World Heavyweight Champion at SummerSlam, let’s make it happen!”

With WWE embracing celebrity crossovers more than ever, it’s entirely possible that Jey Uso will be stepping onto the WrestleMania stage with another hip-hop megastar by his side.

‘I Got Tired of Hugging’ – Inside the Backstage Celebration Following Jey Uso’s Royal Rumble Win

Jey Uso’s stunning Royal Rumble victory wasn’t just a career milestone—it was a moment that sent shockwaves through the WWE locker room. On Cheap Heat, Uso revealed just how much support he received from his peers after his unexpected win.

“When I walked through the back, all the boys were back there… just hugging, man. I got tired of hugging! I was getting blown up hugging!” Uso joked.

One of the most emotional reactions came from Big E, who got choked up on the post-show discussing Jey’s journey. Uso admitted that watching that moment gave him chills.

“I got goosebumps thinking about Big E, man. I love him. We came out the mud together.”

Uso reflected on their bond, noting that they came up in the same class alongside Bray Wyatt. His connection with Big E runs so deep that he considers him family.

“If Big E ever has kids, I got them, bro.”

Beyond the wrestlers, Jey also felt the energy of the WWE Universe embracing him. He credited the fans for pushing him to this moment and giving him the belief that he belonged.

“They chose me. They watched me grind for five years.”

With WrestleMania 41 just on the horizon, Uso is carrying that love and motivation into his biggest challenge yet.

Jey Uso Shares the Crucial Lessons He Learned from John Cena and Roman Reigns

Jey Uso is heading into the biggest match of his singles career at WrestleMania, but his journey to the top has been shaped by the wisdom of WWE’s biggest stars. Speaking on Cheap Heat with Peter Rosenberg and Stat Guy Greg, Uso shared how John Cena and Roman Reigns helped him refine his in-ring style, particularly when it comes to pacing.

Uso recalled the final moments of the 2024 Royal Rumble, where he faced off with Cena in a career-defining moment. He admitted that his instinct was to go full throttle, but Cena quickly slowed him down.

“I was excited to go ham… and Cena was like, nah man, slow it down. That’s when I was like, you know what? My bad. I’m learning too.”

This concept of controlling a match’s tempo is something Uso said he first learned from Roman Reigns. He described it as “top guy speed”—a term that signifies the ability to dictate the crowd’s emotions rather than rushing from move to move.

“Instead of moving to the next thing, just lay there… until the crowd goes, ‘This is awesome!’ You gotta be disciplined to sit still. It’s hard to sit still.”

Reigns, Cena, and other top stars like Randy Orton and Seth Rollins have mastered this, and now Jey is applying it to his own rise as a main event talent. With his WrestleMania moment approaching, he’s determined to execute at the highest level.

“You’re not going to learn it anywhere else but in there.”
