Bleacher Report catches you up on the latest news from the WWE Universe.
Ripley vs. Belair Reportedly Discussed for WrestleMania
Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair haven’t competed in a singles bout since 2022—in a gauntlet match no less—but they may not be avoiding one another for much longer.
Fightful Select (via Steve Carrier of Ringside News) reported that WWE officials have discussed staging Ripley vs. Belair at WrestleMania 41 in April.
Ripley reclaimed the Women’s World Championship on Raw’s Netflix premiere by beating Liv Morgan. She then successfully defended the gold against Nia Jax to open the most recent Saturday Night’s Main Event special.
Even assuming Ripley still has any unfinished business with Morgan, WWE is setting the table for her to pivot to a fresh storyline in time for WrestleMania.
Belair would present one such scenario for the champion and also be somebody with whom she has some shared history. They crossed paths in NXT and battled at NXT TakeOver: Portland in 2020.
Ripley told Sportskeeda’s Bill Apter last August she’d like to challenge Belair again and that their encounter would be “WrestleMania-worthy.”
The champ just might get her wish.
Latest on Graves’ WWE Contract
Veteran announcer Corey Graves “wasn’t looking to leave the company” when he publicly vented about his demotion from the Raw broadcast team in a since-deleted post on social media, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter‘s Dave Meltzer (via Carrier).
Meltzer reported Graves still has two years remaining on his current deal with WWE.
With Raw moving to Netflix, WWE decided to pair Pat McAfee with Michael Cole at the broadcast table, while Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett pivoted from the company’s flagship program to SmackDown.
As a result of the reshuffle, Graves wound up back in NXT and he didn’t sound too thrilled. Seemingly alluding to McAfee in a Jan. 13 post, he lamented “being told you’re not famous enough for your own job.”
Graves didn’t call the Jan. 14 edition of NXT and WWE chose to have Barrett rather than him replace McAfee for Raw on Jan. 20. McAfee was unavailable due to his ESPN duties for college football’s national championship game.
Graves returned to NXT this week. Colleague Vic Joseph advised fans not to adjust their television sets because “this isn’t AI” while pointing to the retired wrestler. Graves, for his part, said he’s “right where I want to be.”
Hendry Discusses Possible Royal Rumble Match Appearance
WWE always includes some surprise appearances during the Royal Rumble match.
Those spots used to be reserved for returning legends or active stars who have been out of action for a while. The company’s partnership with TNA Wrestling, which was formalized this month, opened the door for other possibilities. Mickie James showed up in 2022 and brought the Impact women’s title with her.
Especially with the TNA deal in place, a lot of fans are hopeful that Joe Hendry will compete in this year’s men’s Royal Rumble match.
Asked about the idea during an interview on the DeLoco Podcast (via Fightful’s Corey Brennan), Hendry expressed his desire to make it a reality.
“Anywhere, anytime, any show is what I said to Shawn Michaels when I debuted in NXT, that’s the first thing I said when I came back through the curtain and look at all the exciting things that it led to,” he said. “That obviously would be a huge honor and a privilege and something that’s synonymous with our business.”
Hendry also described himself as “a soldier for TNA Wrestling” who “will do is do what TNA Wrestling asks me to do.”
Speculation over the 36-year-old’s only grew last week when he announced an upcoming appearance at Wrestlecon Indianapolis, which runs Friday and Saturday. Royal Rumble takes place Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
Perhaps that’s merely a coincidence, but fans will believe there’s much more to it than that.

“I was watching Serena actually win here, when Coco was five years old,” he recalled.
“Even in college, my teammates used to laugh that I’d get up at breakfast for Wimbledon, I’d get up in the middle of the night and watch the Australian Open, because I was still very much a tennis fan.
“And Serena won one year and I got excited; she was jumping around and we were excited and then I went out and bought her a tennis racquet.
“I thought that, you know, maybe she would be a good tennis player. I knew that she’d be a pretty good athlete, but just wasn’t sure what sport it would be.”
Fifteen years ago, Williams won a memorable three-set final over arch-rival Henin, their one and only meeting in a Grand Slam final.
It was the fifth of Serena’s seven Australian Open titles, and the first time she’d defended her crown at Melbourne Park.
“Then I went out and bought (Coco) a little Prince racquet and a little soft spongy ball,” Gauff continued, “and she started hitting against the garage and she just kinda stayed there, hitting them and hitting them.
“My mind started turning, like, maybe it’s a possibility.
“But we didn’t do much with it at (age) five. We kinda revisited the whole thing when she turned seven.”
Corey Gauff: Serena’s AO 2010 triumph kick-started Coco’s tennis journey
In 2010, Serena Williams achieved a remarkable victory at the Australian Open, claiming her fifth title at the prestigious tournament. Little did she know that her triumph would have a lasting impact on the future of women’s tennis, particularly in the form of a young prodigy named Coco Gauff.
At the time, Coco was just six years old and had already shown a keen interest in tennis. Watching Serena dominate on the court inspired her to dream big and set her sights on reaching the same heights in the sport.
As Coco grew older, her passion for tennis only intensified, and she quickly made a name for herself as a rising star in the junior circuit. Her talent and determination caught the attention of many, including Serena herself, who took notice of the young phenom’s potential.
With Serena as her role model and inspiration, Coco continued to hone her skills and work tirelessly to achieve her goals. In 2019, she made headlines around the world by defeating Venus Williams in the first round of Wimbledon, becoming the youngest player to win a match at the tournament since 1991.
Since then, Coco has continued to impress with her performances on the court, showcasing a level of maturity and composure well beyond her years. Her journey in tennis has been nothing short of extraordinary, and it all began with Serena’s historic victory at the Australian Open in 2010.
As Coco continues to make waves in the tennis world, one thing is clear: Serena’s triumph at the Australian Open was not just a moment of glory for herself, but also a catalyst for the next generation of champions, with Coco Gauff leading the charge.
Wade Barrett will fill in for Pat McAfee on commentary during Monday’s “WWE Raw.” It was confirmed earlier this week that McAfee would be unavailable for the show as he would be working the College Football Championship. Typically, Corey Graves would have been considered a forerunner to stand in for McAfee, but after he recently took issue with his moving to “WWE NXT” he was reportedly sent home ahead of this week’s show and has yet to have been used by WWE in the meantime. As such, it was announced during Friday’s “WWE SmackDown” that Barrett will be filling the role on Monday, returning to the red brand’s booth for the first time since moving last year.
It was reported after Graves’ single appearance on “NXT” that he was legitimately dissatisfied with being moved to the brand, which appeared to present itself during the broadcast itself between himself and Booker T. He was returning to the brand where he started his commentary journey — after hanging up his boots — and having since commentated for both “Raw” and “SmackDown” from 2016 onwards. Graves reportedly re-signed with the company in January 2024, believed to run at least for the next few years.
According to recent reports, former WWE superstar Wade Barrett is set to replace Pat McAfee on WWE Raw commentary amidst the drama surrounding Corey Graves.
It was announced that Barrett will be stepping in as the new commentator on the Raw broadcast team, filling the void left by McAfee who is reportedly taking a break from his commentary duties.
This news comes amidst rumors of tension between Graves and McAfee, with reports suggesting that the two have been at odds behind the scenes.
Barrett, who previously worked as a commentator on NXT, has received praise for his work on the mic and is seen as a strong addition to the Raw commentary team.
Fans are eagerly anticipating Barrett’s debut on Raw and are curious to see how he will shake up the dynamic on commentary.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

Wade Barrett will be on commentary to replace Pat McAfee for the next episode of Raw.
Pat McAfee is set to miss the next episode of WWE Raw to call the College Football National Championship game between Ohio State and Notre Dame. This means there’s a slot on commentary that needs filling, but with the recent Corey Graves controversy still very much unresolved, WWE have instead turned to Wade Barrett.
The former King of the Ring will replace McAfee on commentary on the January 20th episode of WWE Raw, calling the action alongside Michael Cole. Earlier this month, Barrett teamed with Joe Tessitore on the commentary desk for the first time on WWE SmackDown.
Jim Ross Gives Thoughts On Corey Graves WWE Controversy, Pat McAfee’s Role
The news of the Corey Graves controversy had many figures throughout the wrestling world weighing in on the situation. The latest to do so is legendary broadcaster Jim Ross, who gave his thoughts on his podcast.
In the wake of Corey Graves’ controversial comments, WWE has announced that former NFL player and current sports personality Pat McAfee will be stepping in as a guest commentator for Monday Night Raw.
Graves came under fire recently for his remarks about WWE superstar Carmella, prompting backlash from fans and fellow wrestlers alike. In light of the backlash, WWE has decided to bring in McAfee to provide a fresh perspective and inject some new energy into the commentary team.
McAfee, who is known for his charismatic personality and quick wit, has already proven himself as a capable commentator during his time with WWE NXT. Fans can expect McAfee to bring his signature humor and enthusiasm to the Raw commentary booth, providing a lively and engaging broadcast experience.
While Graves’ future with WWE remains uncertain, McAfee’s addition to the Raw commentary team is sure to shake things up and bring a new dynamic to the show. Tune in to Monday Night Raw to see McAfee make his debut as a guest commentator and see how he stacks up against the competition.
WWE star Jade Cargill continues to train at the Performance Center in Orlando, FL. in anticipation of her upcoming WWE return. She has been working throughout the week, with today marking her final day of training before resuming sessions next week.
Corey Graves made a surprise appearance at the WWE NXT New Year’s Evil show this week and is now no longer part of the WWE SmackDown commentary team. Graves will return to WWE NXT next week on The CW Network alongside Vic Joseph and Booker T. The new WWE SmackDown commentary team will simply be the old WWE Raw duo of Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett.
Despite her apparent face turn last week, where she won the WWE Women’s Championship to an overwhelmingly positive crowd reaction after finally cashing in her Money In The Bank briefcase, Tiffany Stratton is still listed as a heel on WWE’s internal roster. Whether they intend to keep her a heel going forward remains to be seen.
In the world of professional wrestling, there are always new developments and updates to keep fans on their toes. From surprising character changes to anticipated returns, the wrestling world is constantly evolving. Today, we have some exciting updates to share with you.
First up, let’s talk about Tiffany Stratton. The talented young wrestler has been making waves in the industry with her impressive in-ring skills and captivating personality. Recently, there have been rumblings of a potential babyface turn for Tiffany, as she looks to connect with the fans on a deeper level. This could be a game-changer for her career and could see her rise to even greater heights in the wrestling world.
Next, let’s discuss the highly anticipated return of Jade Cargill. The powerhouse wrestler has been out of action for some time, but fans have been eagerly awaiting her comeback. Rumors have been swirling that Jade is set to make her return in the coming weeks, and fans couldn’t be more excited. With her undeniable charisma and incredible athleticism, Jade is sure to shake things up in a big way upon her return.
Finally, let’s touch on Corey Graves’ future in the wrestling world. The former wrestler turned commentator has been a fixture on WWE programming for years, but recent reports suggest that he may be looking to expand his horizons. There are whispers that Corey is considering stepping back from his commentary duties to pursue other opportunities in the wrestling industry. While nothing is set in stone yet, it will be interesting to see where Corey’s career takes him next.
As always, the world of professional wrestling is full of surprises and excitement, and these updates are just the beginning. Stay tuned for more news and developments as they unfold in the world of wrestling.
