Most Likely Backlash Heel/Face Turns 🎭

A pitch has reportedly been made for three of the most hated individuals in WWE to team up at Money in the Bank.

According to PWInsider.com (h/t Cultaholic.com's Aidan Gibbons), WWE has discussed the possibility of a six-man tag team match with one team consisting of WWE champion John Cena, rapper Travis Scott and former United States champion Logan Paul.

In that scenario, their expected opponents would be Cody Rhodes, world heavyweight champion Jey Uso and his twin brother Jimmy Uso, although it reportedly isn't known if WWE will move forward with plans for the six-man tag.

Regardless, it sounds as though Scott will be present for Money in the Bank on June 7 in Los Angeles, as WrestleVotes (h/t Gibbons) reported that Scott will be at the show, and it has been planned since WrestleMania.

When Cena turned heel at Elimination Chamber back in March, Scott and The Rock aided him in viciously attacking Rhodes.

Then, in the main event of WrestleMania 41, Scott provided a distraction that allowed Cena to beat Rhodes for the WWE Championship.

The Rock said last month that Scott had started to partake in pro wrestling training, so it seemed like only a matter of time before Scott stepped into the ring for an official match.

Although Paul hasn't had any involvement with Cena or Scott yet, he is one of the biggest heels in WWE, and he is similar to them in that he has mainstream appeal thanks to his hugely successful YouTube channel.

Cena is fresh off a successful title defense against Randy Orton, and he will face R-Truth at Saturday Night's Main Event. On that same show, Paul will challenge Jey Uso for the World Heavyweight Championship.

That could explain how Paul, Cena and Uso all get intertwined in the same story, particularly once Rhodes returns to WWE programming for the first time since his WrestleMania loss.

WrestleMania 42 Location Shrouded in Uncertainty

Despite rumors of WrestleMania returning to Las Vegas for a second year in a row, the decision reportedly is not set in stone.

On Thursday, TKO, the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation, and New Orleans & Company announced in a joint statement provided to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics that WrestleMania 42 would no longer take place in New Orleans next year, despite an announcement in February that it would.

In that statement, it was noted that New Orleans would instead host Money in the Bank in 2026 and WrestleMania in a future year.

WWE later confirmed to Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp that the decision had been made to change the WrestleMania 42 location from New Orleans to elsewhere, although no replacement was announced.

Later Thursday, PWInsider Elite (h/t Steve Carrier in Ringside News) reported that WWE was in "advanced talks" to bring WrestleMania 42 to Las Vegas, noting that the deal was "very, very close" to being done.

However, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (h/t Carrier) has since reported that there are some factors preventing the finalization of an agreement with Las Vegas.

Meltzer noted that WWE is hoping to hold WrestleMania 42 at Allegiant Stadium on April 18 and 19, 2026, but a yet-to-be-announced concert is currently scheduled for Allegiant Stadium this weekend, and the organizers have not agreed to move the date.

Also, the Las Vegas Convention Center is booked for that weekend, which would require WWE to find a different venue for its WWE World fan expo.

If WWE finds a way around those issues and locks in a deal with Las Vegas, it will mark the second consecutive year WrestleMania has been held in Sin City.

Should that happen, it will be the first time since WrestleMania 4 and 5 took place in Atlantic City in 1988 and 1989 that WrestleMania has emanated from the same city in back-to-back years.

Chelsea Green Reportedly Receiving Internal WWE Praise

Former WWE women's United States champion Chelsea Green reportedly has her fair share of fans within WWE.

According to PWInsider.com (h/t Gibbons), Green has been the subject of praise for months in WWE, and the respect for her reportedly grew during WrestleMania 41 weekend in Las Vegas.

Despite not being booked for a match at WrestleMania, Green was in town and made several appearances on behalf of WWE, adding to her reputation for "coming across great" as an ambassador for the company.

It was also noted that Green has been compared to The Miz, who has a long history of being a positive spokesperson and representative for WWE even when it isn't focused on him having a match.

Green became the inaugural WWE women's United States champion last year and had a highly entertaining reign thanks to her heel antics and comedic timing.

Since dropping the title to Zelina Vega last month, Green has still been a consistent presence on SmackDown, making the most of her television time.

Green has carved out a highly valuable role for herself, and it sounds as though WWE higher-ups are pleased with what she has become.
