According to sources, WWE leadership approached Cena about the expanded hosting role much later in the planning process, with the idea not presented to him until early February. The hosting role came together after earlier creative discussions had already taken place, marking a significant shift from what was initially expected for Cena's involvement in the event.

Chris Hero mocked Peter Rosenberg's warning against wrestlers performing high-risk dives by posting a nearly identical tweet that replaced "dives" with "bumps" and referenced ROH and AEW instead of WWE's main roster. Rosenberg had originally warned wrestlers against suicide dives following IYO SKY's rough landing during a dive on the March 30, 2026 episode of WWE RAW, stating they are "all risk — no reward." Hero's satirical response mirrored Rosenberg's tweet structure almost word-for-word, making it clear he was poking fun at the take rather than engaging in serious debate about wrestling safety.

According to court filings in Janel Grant's lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE, Grant claims she was specifically warned not to speak to Rich Hering, WWE's former senior vice president of government relations and risk management, when she was moved out of the company's legal department. Grant states she was told not to discuss the situation outside a small group and "especially not Rich [Hering]," which she believed was to prevent the legal department from being alerted to what was happening behind the scenes. Hering retired from WWE in October 2023, just months before Grant's lawsuit was filed in January 2024.
Trick Williams has paid tribute to past Black WWE stars who paved the way for him and praised Triple H and Nick Khan for allowing him to be himself and providing him with opportunities.
Janel Grant claims in new court filings that she called Vince McMahon while having suicidal thoughts and considering jumping from her balcony due to pressure surrounding an NDA she signed. According to the filing, Grant texted McMahon at 9:09 p.m. asking him to call because she was scared, and during the call told him she was having suicidal thoughts and "wanted to jump off my balcony." These claims are part of Grant's legal argument against WWE and McMahon's efforts to move her lawsuit into private arbitration, with her attorneys arguing her emotional state raises concerns about whether the NDA was signed voluntarily.
Janel Grant filed a memorandum on April 1, 2026, opposing WWE and Vince McMahon's efforts to move her lawsuit to private arbitration, arguing that her NDA should not prevent the case from proceeding in open court. In the filing, Grant claims that during employment discussions in early 2019, McMahon told her he had attorney Jerry McDevitt "on speed dial who was the best at making problems, including people who become problems, go away." The court's decision on the NDA's enforceability will determine whether the case continues in public view or moves to private arbitration.
Janel Grant's lawsuit against WWE and Vince McMahon has produced new court filings containing disturbing allegations, including claims that she was instructed to sexually serve a WWE executive as "breakfast" on at least five occasions. According to the filing, Grant alleges that even after she told McMahon about a failed suicide attempt, he responded with a voice memo instructing her to "go knock on Johnny's door in the morning" and serve herself to him as "breakfast." The allegations are part of broader claims related to Grant's transfer from WWE's legal department to Talent Relations, which she says left her feeling trapped and without options to refuse instructions from company leadership.
