Dominik Mysterio has explained The Judgment Day's decision to turn on Finn Bálor during the March 9 WWE Raw episode, stating there were ongoing differences and the group wasn't functioning as a cohesive unit. During the attack, Dominik confronted Bálor over costing him the Intercontinental Championship before the faction jumped Bálor, with Dominik ultimately hitting him with a hammer and delivering a 619. Mysterio expressed satisfaction that JD McDonagh played a key role in the attack, saying he was happy for McDonagh to finally step out of Bálor's shadow.
Jim Ross has shut down speculation about Stone Cold Steve Austin wrestling at WrestleMania 42, stating on his Grilling JR podcast that another match is not happening due to Austin's focus on staying healthy rather than returning to the ring. While Ross said Austin could potentially make an appearance or be involved in a storyline during WWE's March 16 "3:16 Day" celebration on Monday Night Raw, he was definitive that Austin will not actually wrestle, citing the Hall of Famer's ongoing neck and knee issues from his career.
On The Dirty Sheets podcast, Billi Bhatti claimed that wrestling media outlets are downplaying negative fan reactions to Cody Rhodes reclaiming the Undisputed WWE Championship from Drew McIntyre. Bhatti argued that Rhodes' relationships with influential wrestling journalists may be influencing coverage, with media being more willing to cover pro-Rhodes movements like "We Want Cody" while ignoring current "We Want Drew" fan reactions.
Questions have been raised about claims that someone paid to artificially boost dislikes on Cody Rhodes' title win over Drew McIntyre on the March 6 episode of WWE SmackDown. A now-deleted Twitter account claimed responsibility for purchasing 65,000 dislikes for $250 and promised to buy 100,000 more, though podcast host Billi Bhatti expressed skepticism about these claims, suggesting the account may have been created by WWE or Cody Rhodes supporters to deflect from genuine fan backlash. The YouTube video of Rhodes' championship victory has become one of WWE's most disliked uploads, with over 180,000 dislikes at the time of reporting.
Seth Rollins revealed during an appearance on Good Morning Football that he has not yet been medically cleared for in-ring competition despite returning to WWE programming at the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event. Rollins explained that the masked men segment on the March 9 episode of WWE Raw was designed to protect his surgically repaired shoulder while he continues recovering, stating he needs to avoid real physicality for "maybe another couple weeks or so." The former world champion has been recovering since undergoing shoulder surgery following an injury during his Crown Jewel Championship match against Cody Rhodes.

According to a claim made on The Dirty Sheets podcast, CM Punk is outselling Cody Rhodes in WWE merchandise by a significant margin, with host Billi Bhatti stating that Punk outsells Rhodes "four to one" in signed photos and "two to one" in most other merchandise categories.
