The Latest Rumors:

According to WrestleVotes, during a recent promo battle on SmackDown, Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton veered off-script considerably, with the duo "saying very little of what was in the rundown for them." This unscripted exchange could be seen as a bold move, ramping up the excitement in their rivalry. Interestingly, WRKD Wrestling pointed out that Charlotte's personal life, including her recent divorce, wouldn’t have been mentioned publicly without prior clearance, suggesting there’s more planning behind these statements than meets the eye.

In the realm of WrestleMania possibilities, Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp indicates that Becky Lynch may not be included on the WrestleMania 41 card. Though ideas for her inclusion were considered, the current status seems uncertain. Fans are left wondering what this may mean for one of WWE’s biggest stars.

On a lighter note, exciting news comes for fans of Kairi Sane. PW Insider reports that she is “very close” to being cleared for her long-anticipated return to WWE, giving hope to viewers eager to see her back in action.

There is also internal confidence in WWE regarding JD McDonagh's return by the end of April, which could add another intriguing storyline to the mix as we head into the spring.

In Hall of Fame news, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reveals that there has been no communication between WWE and AEW about Sting potentially inducting Lex Luger into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2025. This development raises questions about the crossover potential between these two rival promotions.

Meanwhile, former WWE Cruiserweight Champion TJ Perkins is now a free agent after not re-signing with NJPW, according to Fightful Select. His status could open up doors for exciting new opportunities in various promotions.

In AEW news, it was reported by F4WOnline's Dave Meltzer that star Mark Davis has suffered a fractured foot during a match against Powerhouse Hobbs. He is expected to be sidelined for several months, potentially impacting upcoming storylines.

Lastly, there has been buzz about AEW Dynamite's viewership on the Max streaming service, averaging 500,000 viewers. However, Meltzer expresses skepticism about these numbers being comparable to Nielsen ratings, suggesting that the true viewership figures are kept under wraps by the platform. This uncertainty leaves many in the wrestling community questioning the actual reach of AEW programming.

As always, these rumors should be taken with caution, as the dynamic nature of professional wrestling keeps fans guessing. Stay tuned for updates and further developments as events unfold!
