TOP STORIES TODAY
WWE may have inadvertently revealed the night for Jey Uso and Gunther's title match at WrestleMania 41. The Yeet Master will be challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship at The Show of Shows.
The promotion is now selling merchandise for WrestleMania on WWE Shop, and one of the items revealed an interesting piece of information. The shirt for the World Heavyweight Championship match has the date April 19 on it, which would be Night 1 of WrestleMania 41.
 Earlier today, the Stamford-based company announced that the three greats will receive the honor at the WrestleMania 41 weekend. Kamala, Dory Funk Sr., and Ivan Koloff will be this year's Legacy inductees. The Game recently took to his X/Twitter account to share his reaction to the announcement. He praised three by noting that the legends left a mark with their work, and it would be a pleasure to honor them. |  The 28-year-old officially signed with the Stamford-based company ahead of the inaugural Mae Young Classic Tournament in 2017. Back then, she had long blonde hair and a seemingly generic look. However, in a recent interview with Stephanie McMahon on her new show, Stephanie's Places, Ripley confessed that she struggled with her confidence at the time and even considered quitting and returning to her home country of Australia. Ripley revealed that she sat with herself and decided to take serious steps to become better at the time, starting with changing her appearance, which was the thing she was most uncomfortable about. |
