Goldberg revealed that he would not turn down a match against a major WWE Superstar. The legend has not wrestled a match since his loss to Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber 2022.

In an interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, the former champion was asked if he would be willing to face Gunther in a match. The 58-year-old shared that he would be open to battling the World Heavyweight Champion, and would not turn down that opportunity should it be presented to him.

A real-life member of The Bloodline shared a potential return tease for WWE WrestleMania 41 today on social media. The Show of Shows will air live next month from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Rikishi is the father of Solo Sikoa and The Usos and took to social media today to share an interesting message. The WWE Hall of Famer posted a selfie and asked fans if he should consider wearing a suit. Rikishi also included a hashtag for WrestleMania 41 as seen in his post below.

Fans have been rallying behind Jey Uso in his quest to fulfill his prophecy at WrestleMania 41 and become the next WWE World Heavyweight Champion. However, the YEET Master has been facing a massive backlash lately. He recently addressed the situation on his social media. Despite winning the Royal Rumble this year, Jey Uso's path to WrestleMania 41 isn't easy, as A-Town Down Under has put insurmountable obstacles in front of him.

During the latest episode of RAW, the OG Bloodline member made quick work of Austin Theory, squashing him in less than 30 seconds. Midway through the match, Jey Uso botched a top rope dive, similar to Top Dolla's. The spot caused a massive stir on social media, with some fans throwing shade at one-half of The Usos. Earlier today, Jey Uso took to his Instagram stories to break his silence on the embarrassing botch.
