This week’s WWE news includes confirmation that two members of Judgment Day are not romantically involved, dispelling recent speculations. Raquel Rodriguez shared her dating preferences in a recent interview, emphasizing a liking for tall, slender men, often inspired by basketball players.
“So, usually, just as being a tall girl, I would go with tall and skinny for sure. Being an ex-basketball player, that’s kind of the vibe, right? All the basketball players, I mean, I’ve had crushes on lots of basketball players. They’re all kind of tall and skinny. But I do think short kings are having a moment. And when you say short and muscular, I’m like, maybe, because short kings are having a moment, and my brain is altering a little bit. So, maybe I could make a short king work one of these days.”
Rodriguez also addressed rumors about her relationship with fellow Judgment Day member JD McDonagh, clarifying that McDonagh is already taken, and there is no romantic link between them.
“Well, listen, he’s [McDonagh] taken. Yeah, so we can’t go that route. But Carlito was a little bit shorter than me. I love Carly. He’s so great. So, we’re open, but I’d say tall and skinny first.”

Brock Lesnar Bout at WrestleMania 42 Reportedly Off
Expectations for a major showdown between Brock Lesnar and rising star Oba Femi at WrestleMania 42 have dimmed, with recent reports indicating the match will not take place. Lesnar, a dominant figure in WWE history, and Femi, an emerging talent from Stamford, last shared the ring at Royal Rumble 2026, where Lesnar eliminated Femi.

As WrestleMania 42 approaches, several storylines are generating anticipation, especially with the confirmed return of Jade Cargill posing new challenges for titleholders and contenders alike. The cancellation of a Lesnar-Femi match may shift focus onto other emerging rivalries and key moments throughout WWE programming.
The upcoming episodes of RAW and other WWE shows leading to WrestleMania promise to clarify these evolving narratives, with Liv Morgan’s opponent reveal being a critical highlight. Fans and analysts will be watching closely to see how WWE balances veteran presence with rising talent on the grandest wrestling stage.
