WRESTLEMANIA STAGE UPDATE, ODD MANIA MERCHANDISE NOTE, BABY DUSTY RHODES AT RAW AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2023-03-28 21:13:00

WWE has been setting up the Wrestlemania staging at SoFi Stadium the last few days.  We are told the staging is very much in step with the black and Hollywood gold color and style of the Wrestlemania Goes Hollywood logo, with one source describing the plan as a "Hollywood Awards" sort of look.

In an odd twist, a number of readers sent word that ShopWWE.com is selling a "Fanatics Authentic WWE Wrestlemania 39 Acrylic Canvas Display" with a piece of the ring canvas from Wrestlemania 39.  What is odd is that several readers who have ordered have received shipping notifications, even though Wrestlemania won't take place until this weekend.  That sounds like some sort of computer error to me.

There was a family sitting ringside at Raw last night that had their baby boy dressed up like Dusty Rhodes.  Cody Rhodes saw them and took selfies with them after the taping went off the air.  That's pretty cool:

The Usos have been removed from their scheduled 4/1 signing before Wrestlemania 39 at The Crickett Wireless Store in Los Angeles.  Solo Sikoa will now be appearing, well, solo. 

Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley will be in Los Angeles at the Funko Hollywood location tomorrow at 10 AM local time at 6201 Hollywood Blvd. from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. for a meet and greet and photos.  Event is first come, first served.  If you go there now and purchase a WWE Funko Pop, you will receive one wristband  for your return for the meet and greet.

MadMac sent the following...You mentioned that there was no word of who would be on the Friday broadcast. It’s being run as a “tournament”: the three highest money winning “teams” (each WWE person is paired with a “civilian” contestant) will qualify for the “final” on Friday, so that won’t be publicized until after Thursday’s broadcast.
