00:00 Triple H on that Cody Rhodes Throne Smash Brock Lesnar's WWE 2K24 status

00:06 Sylvester Stallone's WWE confirmed And more.

00:09 I'm Oli Davis, and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:20 Before we get into our main stories, there is a huge breaking piece of news.

00:24 John Cena just launched an One Fans!

00:27 Posting on Ex, Cena teased the new account will be to 'see him like you've never seen

00:34 me before'.

00:35 But I can't, John.

00:37 That's the cruel irony.

00:38 We can't see you!

00:40 I'll just click the link and sign up to OnlyFans on the homepage now.

00:48 And there's a lot of women on here in bikinis.

01:08 Telling me how to make pizzas.

01:12 Let's rush through the rest of this episode.

01:23 Cena's account is actually a very clever marketing stump for his title role in the

01:27 upcoming Forelli brother comedy Ricky Stanicki, where he plays a washed up actor.

01:32 It's released on Amazon Prime on the 7th March.

01:34 Until then, why not get exclusive content by supporting other creators by becoming a

01:40 Pledgehammer on Patreon.com/wrestletalk.

01:42 Yes, cheap plug.

01:45 More on that in a bit from Turbo Jack.

01:47 The path to true stardom in WWE is simple, but rarely trodden.

01:52 Only the bravest and most committed can overcome its obstacles, as it boils down to this.

01:58 Quit WWE, publicly bury Triple H, then come back as his new best friend.

02:02 CM Punk famously quit in 2014, buried Triple H in his Art of Wrestling podcast, then returned

02:08 in 2023, posting their 'Hell Froze Over' selfie.

02:12 Road Dogg left, buried Triple H in shoot interviews, and then rejoined as one of Hunter's most

02:17 loyal generals.

02:18 And Cody Rhodes left WWE in 2016, smashed a throne with a sledgehammer during his entrance

02:23 on AEW's first pay-per-view - quite clearly a shot at the King of Kings Triple H, whose

02:29 weapon of choice is a sledgehammer - for him to return to WWE and become the company's

02:34 biggest babyface.

02:35 Cody has previously said the throne smashing incident is not mentioned between the two

02:40 of them, but he'd love for it to be eventually because he still has the prop at his Nightmare

02:45 Factory training school, and "there is some imagery, some iconography that can be utilized

02:50 for a show potentially.

02:51 I'd love for it to be eventually talked about."

02:54 But now, in an interview with Alan and Carly, five years after that throne smash happened,

03:00 Triple H has finally revealed his thoughts.

03:03 "I laughed about it then, you know, people make that stuff out to be so much more than

03:08 it is to me.

03:09 If I was in his shoes, I would have done the same thing.

03:12 I am-I reckon Triple H's laugh went a bit like this.

03:16 I'm going to have him lose to Roman then replace him with The Rock."

03:34 Triple H continued, though, putting over Cody's father Dusty as his co-creator of the NXT

03:40 system, and that Rhodes' half decade out of WWE was about him finding himself away

03:45 from the shadow of his dad.

03:47 "I've seen that a few times over the years.

03:49 Drew McIntyre's another guy, right?

03:51 Things went sour, he goes and gambled on himself.

03:54 We had talked about it when he was leaving.

03:56 Go find yourself.

03:58 When you find yourself, I'll be watching.

04:01 When I see you find yourself, we'll talk and you'll come home."

04:06 Their relationship seems pretty good now, as Triple H was in Perth, Australia for the

04:10 Elimination Chamber press event.

04:12 This event, and media calls in wrestling by the way, are actually now fan fests, where

04:16 he led the crowd in an acapella singalong of Cody's theme.

04:27 As well as Rhea Ripley and Grayson Waller drinking out of their own shoes, your country's

04:31 customs are most intriguing.

04:33 WWE also added a new championship match to Saturday's Elimination Chamber event - the

04:37 Kabuki Warriors defending their women's tag team titles against Candice LeRae and

04:42 Indi Hartwell.

04:43 Because Hartwell is Australian.

04:45 Public service announcement - make sure to go back into our Fantasy Predictions competition

04:49 WrestleLeague to add your pick for that new match.

04:52 And anyone who hasn't signed up for that yet, do it now using the link below - where

04:57 you can win up to $250 of Amazon gift card vouchers.

05:01 Dave Meltzer has added on Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE have "some surprises"

05:07 in store for the Elimination Chamber show - likely for the unannounced guests for the

05:11 Grayson Waller Effect talk show segment.

05:14 Triple H has already teased there will be monumental implications for WrestleMania at

05:19 the show, but he's gone out of his way to say it's not The Rock.

05:23 "You are not going to see Rock at Elimination Chamber.

05:26 I'm not going to spin that because I don't want people expecting that and not see that.

05:30 The show will be spectacular, I believe, when it's done.

05:33 Nobody will miss The Rock.

05:35 As this all came to be, his schedule is quite tight, as you can imagine.

05:39 We have him for a lot of events.

05:41 Unfortunately, this was not one of them."

05:44 So you're telling me there's a chance?

05:46 Meltzer has also added those surprises are not The Rock.

05:50 So who could it be?

05:51 Why, it's of course going to be…

05:54 Famed 80s Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone!

06:00 Following votes have posted, sources within WWE indicate there is interest in collaborating

06:05 with Sylvester Stallone for WrestleMania in some form.

06:09 While any communication status is unclear, I'm told there's hope for it.

06:13 Whether it ultimately ends up happening or not is to be determined.

06:17 Stallone, born in New York City, gained fame through the iconic Rocky films deeply associated

06:23 with Philadelphia.

06:24 Which is where WrestleMania XL is taking place.

06:26 Additionally, Stallone is no stranger to the WWE world.

06:30 Kevin inducted Hulk Hogan into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005.

06:35 Andrew Zarian has corroborated that report.

06:38 But what will Stallone do?

06:40 For the benefit of CM Punk, Rocky is the 1976 boxing movie that catapulted Stallone to stardom.

06:46 His character of Rocky Balboa lost to the dominant world champion Apollo Creed in the

06:51 first movie, but won in the sequel.

06:55 Sound familiar?

06:56 Perhaps Stallone could be in Cody's corner for his WrestleMania rematch against Reigns.

07:01 While The Rock, widely seen as the man who inherited Stallone and Schwarzenegger's

07:06 action movie hero mantle, stands in the opposite corner for Roman.

07:11 The final scenes of Rocky 2 might also give us the Mania match's finish if they lean

07:15 into this idea, where Rocky needs a knockout in the final round to win.

07:19 He punches Creed, and they do a Double Down.

07:22 But Rocky just gets to his feet at the count of 9, becoming the new world champion.

07:27 Perhaps Roman vs Cody might even have a Last Man Standing stipulation.

07:36 How would you book Stallone's WrestleMania involvement?

07:38 And who do you think the Chamber surprises are?

07:41 Let me know in the comments because I'll be replying to people FROM OUTTA DOWN UNDER.

07:46 Talking of 80s action heroes, here's Turbo Jack.

08:14 [outro]

08:19 And as always, I'm Rick Otto.

08:45 One person that Elimination Chamber surprise will probably not be is Brock Lesnar.

09:07 Lesnar was all but named in Janelle Grant's lawsuit against Vince McMahon.

09:11 She alleged that in the summer of 2021, Vince offered her for sexual favours to a world

09:16 famous athlete and former UFC heavyweight champion, with whom WWE was actively trying

09:22 to sign to a new contract.

09:24 The Wall Street Journal then reported that people close to the situation believed that

09:28 person is Brock Lesnar.

09:31 Lesnar was subsequently removed from the 2024 Royal Rumble match, where he was reportedly

09:36 planned to make his return to set up a match against Dominik Mysterio at Elimination Chamber,

09:41 but he was replaced by Brom Breaker.

09:43 He was also removed from the WrestleMania XL card, where he would reportedly face Gunther

09:48 for the Intercontinental title.

09:50 WWE also replaced him in their opening video sting with LA Knight.

09:55 Following WWE's lead, their partner companies also phased Lesnar out.

10:00 First 2K Games removed Lesnar from their WWE Supercard game and off the 2K24 cover, and

10:06 now Inside Gaming is reporting Lesnar will be in the WWE 2K24 game, but you won't be

10:12 able to play as him.

10:14 Multiple sources have told Insider Gaming that while it was too late to fully remove

10:18 Lesnar from the game, the plan shifted to simply make him unplayable for players upon

10:24 release.

10:25 Backing up this report, 2K have released the full roster of playable wrestlers for the

10:28 game, and Lesnar's name does not feature.

10:31 In an update to a story I covered yesterday, BREAKING, Hangman Page is really good at his

10:37 job.

10:38 In the closing moment of Dynamite's six-man main event, Hangman seemingly picked up a

10:42 real injury when he rolled outside clutching his ankle, screaming at the cameraman not

10:47 to film him, and was then seen limping to the back.

10:51 Wrestling Observer Radio then reported they'd heard it was a broken ankle, which is terrible

10:56 timing with Hangman in the Revolution Pay-Per-View's World Championship three-way.

11:00 Oh god, just when AEW are on a great run and are getting momentum with some great TV consistently

11:06 at the moment, something like this happens on one of their major programs.

11:09 It's such bad luck.

11:11 Goddammit, I've been enjoying AEW so much recently.

11:15 But just one more thing.

11:16 Fightful Select then reported, "No, it's all a work.

11:20 Hangman is fine."

11:23 So the next question was… why?

11:26 I theorised on our Dynamite Review podcast it was a way to protect Page in defeat at

11:31 the pay-per-view - that he could continue his whinging heel character by blaming it

11:35 on an injury right after he lost, just like David Haye blamed his broken toe in his post-match

11:41 loss to Wladimir Klitschko in 2011.

11:43 It's a great way to continue Hangman's character development.

11:46 I've been loving it.

11:47 He's just like this sort of justified heel character.

11:49 You can understand where he's coming from.

11:51 Kind of like Drew McIntyre in WWE.

11:53 Oh yeah, but just one more thing.

11:55 Turns out… also no.

11:57 Because Bryan Alvarez has now added, "The reason that he worked the ankle injury is

12:02 because he has something going on in his personal life and he may not be able to work the pay-per-view.

12:08 If he can't work the pay-per-view, then this is the cover story as to why he can't

12:13 work the pay-per-view.

12:14 He injured his ankle."

12:16 Apparently very few people knew about this, and we're back to doubting Hangman's status

12:20 for Revolution.

12:21 It's Elimination Chamber first though, so go watch our predictions for the show right
