However, we will start on a sad note.

#1. Prayers up for WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda

Wrestling legend Mike Rotunda, formerly known as IRS in WWE, is currently in hospice. This was revealed by his former tag team partner, Barry Windham, in an interview with Bill Apter on 1WrestlingVideo's YouTube channel:

Windham spoke about the tragic circumstances surrounding the Rotunda family, having been asked about Mike's son, Bray Wyatt:

"It's kinda tough right, you know, because Mike [Rotunda] is in hospice right now. Anyway, that family, I love that family, but it's so tragic," Windham said.

We are sending our prayers and support to Mike Rotunda and his entire family.


#2. Sol Ruca vacates the Women's WWE Speed Championship

Sol Ruca suffered a well-documented knee injury a couple of weeks ago, which led to her being replaced in her NXT North American Championship match against Blake Monroe at Halloween Havoc. Zaria defended the title for her, but lost against the former AEW star.

Following this, Ruca was asked if she wanted to vacate her Speed Championship, with her remaining injured for the time being. She decided to relinquish it and teased a split with Zaria, following the events of Halloween Havoc. It remains to be seen what's next for the Women's Speed Title.


#3. Dominik Mysterio is still Liv Morgan's 'king'

Liv Morgan has been off WWE television for over four months, but remains active on social media. Having recently celebrated her 11th anniversary in the company, the Judgment Day member also took to her Instagram story to show her support for Dominik Mysterio.

The Intercontinental Champion will defend his title against Penta and Rusev in a triple threat match at Saturday Night's Main Event. Morgan shared the poster of the match and covered the challengers' faces with 'poo' emojis, while putting a crown on Mysterio's head:

This essentially means Dominik Mysterio is still Liv Morgan's king, even if there might be supposed tension in recent times. There have been hints that Dirty Dom has not been loyal to his on-screen girlfriend during her absence.

WWE revealed the official promo for WrestleMania 42 yesterday, which sees Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Brock Lesnar playing a game of poker. Triple H and Paul Heyman are present, too, which has subtly revealed a huge spoiler for The Vision.

There isn't any clear reason for The Oracle to be there, having betrayed Reigns and Punk this year. Heyman has also never been aligned with Rhodes. So, this leaves The Beast Incarnate. The two recently reunited at Wrestlepalooza, with the WWE Hall of Famer introducing Lesnar before his match against John Cena.

This seemingly means that Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman will officially get back together for good. And with his services currently being deployed to Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, it looks like the three-time Universal Champion is indeed set to join The Vision.
