Nick Khan defends WrestleMania 43 being held in Saudi Arabia by claiming that fans will tune in no matter where the company goes.
Randy Orton is reportedly "hurting" heading into his WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania:"Perhaps most notable in the McAfee promo is that he said that if Randy Orton doesn’t beat Cody Rhodes for the title, that he will never do anything involving WWE again. Obviously that is not happening.
In fact, the only result, given that promo, that was almost completely clear is Orton winning."We were told that Orton is hurting so there is a possibility that would change, as it would make no sense for Orton to win if he has to take time off, but McAfee’s statement came across like it’s as close to a lock as possible.
"Given the Orton & McAfee vs. Rhodes & Jelly Roll match at Backlash on 5/9 that was on the schedule, all signs point to McAfee not leaving and Orton not being expected to have to take time off."
Per BodySlam+, Stone Cold Steve Austin is currently scheduled to be backstage at WrestleMania 42.It's currently unknown if he will just be at the show or if they will have him make a surprise appearance at the Showcase of the Immortals.
