Usually, the winners of the Royal Rumble are determined beforehand, and logic suggests that said winners are informed at least a few weeks or maybe even months in advance. However, Jey Uso recently revealed that he learned he would win on the day of the event. Speaking to Alex McCarthy of the Daily Mail, Uso claimed he was told about his impending victory in a final meeting before the PLE. He shared the details, including how he was pleasantly surprised to learn he was in the final four for the Rumble match but was even more surprised by the news that he would win.

He also revealed that he was freaking out throughout the day after learning the news, but considered it a good thing. He claimed it was good pressure to have on that day and that now he has an incredible accolade under his belt as a wrestler.

The Rock recently returned to WWE TV and played a part in John Cena's heel turn. It now looks like he will be more involved in this storyline heading into WrestleMania 41. 

The Great One was even seen with Travis Scott in one of NXT General Manager Ava's posts. The rapper has recently appeared on WWE TV. His song 4X4 is also the official theme song for Monday Night RAW. Scott showed up at Elimination Chamber 2025 alongside The Brahma Bull. After John Cena turned heel, Travis Scott made his loyalty clear by also taking a cheap shot at Cody Rhodes. Cena and Scott held The American Nightmare down while The Final Boss belted him. The Final Boss' friendship with Travis Scott became even more evident after Ava posted pictures on Instagram.

Axiom is one of the rising stars of the NXT brand. He is currently one-half of the NXT Tag Team Champions. As the black and silver brand is gearing up for its biggest show of the year, Stand & Deliver, Fraxiom has its work cut out for them. Several WWE stars, including Axiom, will be touring Europe for the next few weeks.

With the March 14 episode of SmackDown set to take place at the Olimpic Arena in Barcelona, Spain, Axiom is finally back in his home country. As a result, he made a surprise appearance at a Lucha Libre Rebellion show as A-Kid without his mask. Fans also noticed that Owens was seated in attendance for the same show.

Jeff Cobb is a notable name in the industry, who made a name for himself on the independent circuit and in Japan as a professional wrestler. Cobb has been successful as a singles star and in the tag team division with Great-O-Khan in New Japan Pro Wrestling.

Last month, he teased taking his talents elsewhere when he was falling down the card in Japan. Moreover, the report stated the new regime has had their eyes on Cobb, and it'll be interesting to see what's next for him.
