The Rock has now taken to social media to apologize for a scary incident and reveal what transpired. The Rock posted a caption saying that he was sorry to all the players in the UFL and was sad that he could not be in Texas for the opening of Season 2 of the league.
In the video he posted, he continued apologizing and explaining the situation. He said that he knew he wanted to be there for his fans and players, but unfortunately, he could not make it due to issues with his plane.
 During the March 28, 2025, edition of SmackDown, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and The Second City Saint gathered at The O2 Arena to sign the contract for their Triple Threat match at The Show of Shows. But, SmackDown GM Nick Aldis deployed numerous security guards, and WWE officials inside the ring to prevent any potential repeat of last week's chaos. CM Punk reviewed the contract before adding his signature to the piece of paper. Following orders from The Tribal Chief, The Wiseman came next to the former AEW star and announced that he would close WrestleMania, and be a main-eventer at the show. Paul Heyman's announcement brought CM Punk to tears as he would be main-eventing The Grandest Stage of Them All for the first time in his career. The London crowd erupted, chanting “You deserve it!” to the 46-year-old star. |  After splitting with Rhea Ripley, WWE has now paired Damian Priest with another female star. It was recently revealed. The prices were announced on the WrestleMania After Dark site, where Jimmy and Jey Uso meet-and-greets are already sold out at the time of writing this article. Tiffany Stratton, The Usos, Charlotte Flair, Damian Priest, and others were all available for the experience. While the Usos were paired together as usual, there were some stranger meet and greets scheduled, where two stars not usually associated together were put together. Rey Mysterio was paired with Charlotte Flair when the two stars didn't have much to do with each other. Damian Priest, though, was not paired with Rhea Ripley as fans would have expected, given their history and real-life friendship. They have been split up on-screen thanks to being separated for the first-ever time in their careers in WWE, with Priest moving to SmackDown while Ripley remains on RAW. Unfortunately, it appears that Priest won't be with her for the duration of the WrestleMania meet and greet either, with him being paired with Tiffany Stratton instead. |
FROM THE RUMOR MILL
Ken Shamrock was once dubbed the most dangerous man on the planet when he was in the Stamford-based promotion. The former MMA star won a tournament and eventually the Intercontinental Championship to cement his legacy in the promotion.
Moreover, he also won the King of the Ring tournament and has enough accolades to enter the WWE Hall of Fame. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (WON), the former tag team and Intercontinental Champion's name has been bandied about for this year's ceremony.
