CM Punk suffers a torn triceps and will miss WrestleMania

CM Punk kicks-off this episode with some sad news for him and for the WWE Universe. He confirms that he suffers a torn right triceps and that he won’t be able to perform at WrestleMania 40. He gets emotional. But the dream is not over, because “there is always next year”. He is interrupted by Drew McIntyre who says he had prayed for CM Punk being injured and missing WrestleMania. Then, McIntyre attacks Punk despite the injury, and Sami Zayn comes in the rescue.

So, there won’t be any CM Punk vs Seth Rollins match at WrestleMania this year.

 

• Match #1: Damian Priest & Finn Bálor (c) defeated DIY via pinfall from Finn Bálor on Tommaso Ciampa with the Coup de Grâce to retain the Undisputed WWE Tag Team championships. After the match, the tag champions are joined by JD McDonagh and Dominik Mysterio in the ring. They call out R-Truth and Priest pretends he is going to apologize for eliminating him at the Royal Rumble, but it was only a trap to hit him 4 on 1. The Miz tries to come in the rescue but is beaten up too by the Judgment Day.
• Match #2: Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark defeated Chelsea Green & Piper Niven via pinfall from Zoey Stark on Chelsea Green with the Z-360.

 

Seth Rollins wants Cody Rhodes to challenge him at WrestleMania 40

The winner of the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble, Cody Rhodes, makes his way to the ring. As he is about to announce his choice for WrestleMania, he is interrupted by the World Heavyweight champion, Seth Rollins. The Visionary congratulates The American Nightmare for his second victory in a row at the Royal Rumble. But then, he says that choosing Roman Reigns would be a mistake, because the World Heavyweight title is now the symbol of prestige, hard work and dedication. Cody Rhodes looks perplexed, and answers that he did not think about all of that before coming to the ring tonight. He says he will think about it. He didn’t make an official choice yet.
