#5. Chris Jericho reacts to the five-year anniversary of the Festival of Friendship

Five years ago, the Festival of Friendship graced our screens. It was an epic celebration of Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho's friendship. It was a wildly entertaining occasion which ended in heartbreak when KO turned on his "best friend" and viciously attacked him.

The former Universal Champion tweeted about the iconic segment yesterday, to which Jericho responded with a warning. The current AEW star claimed he hasn't forgotten that fateful night and teased a return to WWE to come after Owens.

#4. Bianca Belair on a potential match with Ronda Rousey

Always one to step up in the ring, Bianca Belair wants to test herself against the biggest stars in WWE. Speaking with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Phillipa Mariee, The EST of WWE is ready to face Ronda Rousey and stake her claim as the "baddEST" woman in the division.

"I love competition, I crave competition. Anytime I can get in the ring with someone who is a great competition, I want to get in the ring with them because the best brings the best out of me," said Bianca Belair. "I never run from the competition, so one day Ronda Rousey and I will hopefully meet in the ring and we will see who owns 'EST.'"

A match between Rousey and Belair in WWE would be a sight to behold.

#3. Gable Steveson says he will be at WrestleMania 38

It looks like Gable Steveson will be heading straight to WrestleMania after he's finished his education. The Olympic gold medalist's time in college is set to end in March, and he may immediately debut for WWE , as he mentioned to Darren Wolfson of KSTP Sports:

"Right when March ends, I’m picking it up," Gable Steveson said. "I think I’m, I’ll probably head to WrestleMania and do some — I don’t know what from there, but you’ll see. It just picks up again, there’s no break."

Steveson is a member of the RAW roster, although he's only appeared in the crowd since being drafted to the red brand. Based on his comments, the star athlete seems likely to show up at WrestleMania, after which he can truly kick off his pro wrestling career.

#2. WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg calls out CNN for a major identity botch

Goldberg called out CNN for mistakenly using images of him while reporting on a story involving Stone Cold Steve Austin. The two WWE legends have been confused for each other multiple times in the past, as they both sport bald heads and goatees.

The two-time Universal Champion was not happy about this and called the news channel out for misinformation on Instagram. Goldberg did maintain some humor and tagged Austin in his post, issuing a playful challenge to the Texas Rattlesnake.

#1. Bray Wyatt refuses to be part of Roman Reigns' latest WWE record

Roman Reigns is set to achieve another historic feat in WWE with his Universal Championship reign. Or is he?

GiveMeSport's Louis Dangoor noted on Twitter that upon his likely win over Goldberg at Elimination Chamber, The Tribal Chief will have beaten every former Universal Champion during his current run with the title.

Windham (fka Bray Wyatt) replied to the post and demanded his name be taken off the list.

"Take my name off that s***," Bray Wyatt tweeted.

Reigns had previously won the Universal Title from The Fiend in a triple threat match at Payback 2020, though he pinned Braun Strowman for it. The two have not faced each other since then. This could be why Wyatt has publicly refused to be part of the potential record.

Bray Wyatt isn't the only former Universal Champion who took issue with the tweet. Seth Rollins also disputed it, claiming it was "fake news."

This is because Rollins defeated Roman Reigns by disqualification at the Royal Rumble, rendering the tweet factually inaccurate on a technicality even though The Head of the Table walked out with his title.
