Days until WrestleMania XL: 35
- WWE had to black out the screen multiple times during The Rock's SmackDown promo due to a fan sign that said, "Die, Rocky, Die." Apparently, that is too hot for TV now.

- They also switched up The Rock and Roman Reigns' usual producer this week.
- Dakota Kai turned on Bayley during SmackDown, so the former Hugger has zero friends going into WrestleMania.
- The Peacemaker's second shooting season may keep John Cena from appearing at WrestleMania 40.
- WWE 2K24 announced their new MyRISE mode in the upcoming game. You can check out the trailer below.
- It turns out that Tony Khan got permission from Martha Hart before doing the spot with Sting coming down from the rafters.
- Miro revealed that he's been injured since September. He was replying to a tweet claiming that Tony Khan said he was supposed to be in the Meat Madness match, but it didn't happen. That quite turned out to be fake as well, so Miro didn't even need to reply at all.
- QT Marshall believes that CM Punk never got to finish his story in AEW. While speaking to Bill Apter, he said, "Yes and no. I don’t think he got to finish his story, even at AEW. That’s become the term now, the phrase, ‘Finish the story.’ I think being in AEW, it kind of gave him his confidence, to know that the people were still there for him and he could still do it. Why not? If you’re gonna do it, and you can’t do it at AEW anymore for whatever the reasons were, go back to WWE, if willing to give him a chance. I always liked him backstage. But I didn’t think it was gonna be out of the realm that he would go back.”
-AEW has one more episode of Collision before Revolution. You can check out the card for tonight's show below:
