TOP STORIES TODAY
After losing the World Heavyweight Championship against Jey Uso at WrestleMania 41, Gunther showed up furious on this week's RAW. The Ring General got into a heated argument with Michael Cole after the latter highlighted his submission loss. The Imperium leader tried to choke the legendary commentator, but Pat McAfee stood up for his colleague. McAfee ended up becoming a victim of The Ring General's vicious chokehold and had to be taken backstage for a medical checkup.
WWE's official X/Twitter handle recently posted a clip of RAW General Manager Adam Pearce. In the video, Pearce revealed that Pat McAfee and Michael Cole were okay and were preparing for next week's RAW. He also sent a warning to Gunther, calling his actions “reprehensible and disgusting.”
 Bianca Belair has been dealing with a lot heading into WrestleMania. Her two best friends turned on each other, with Naomi having betrayed and attacked Jade Cargill. This resulted in both of them getting into a feud, and Belair walking out on it, not wanting to be involved herself. On top of that, Rhea Ripley and she had issues heading into 'Mania as well, and despite winning the Elimination Chamber, she didn't get a singles match at The Show of Shows. Earlier, it was reported that Bianca Belair had suffered an injury to her fingers and that she had come out of WrestleMania 41 hurt. WWE released the Behind the Scenes video from this year's event, and it's unfortunately been confirmed. The star is dealing with a potentially broken finger. She said that she was happy that IYO SKY had won, but she also said that things were not over between her and Ripley. |  Rikishi shared character-breaking images of Bloodline members from WWE WrestleMania 41 today on social media. The Hall of Famer is the father of Solo Sikoa and The Usos in real life The legend took to Instagram today to share a heartfelt message following WrestleMania 41. He posted a picture of Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa and noted that family was the most important thing.

FROM THE RUMOR MILL
Adam Pearce made the announcement earlier today and noted that Gunther would also be fined an undisclosed amount. The suspension was indefinite, which means that he might be out for the foreseeable future.
The reason behind this has been revealed by Cory Hays of PWNexus, who noted that The Ring General had actually asked for some time away from WWE. It is seemingly why the indefinite suspension was announced.
