Is Swerve's eardrum injury gonna negatively impact any world championship plans?

Not that I've heard of, though I haven't been told who is winning Swerve vs. Moxley. I know it's been a tough recovery, but Swerve is also a tough person.

I may have missed if you ever revealed it but what were WWEs plans for Cody if he wasn't going to face Roman at Mania 41? Relistened to Brian Gewirtz Busted Open interview and he said it wasn't exactly facing Rollins.

When I asked people close to Cody, I was just told that it was "bad." One of my longtime sources asked me recently if I ever heard what it was -- I haven't. They said they couldn't be the ones to tell me, and said "I consider you level headed in your analysis and you would have thrown your computer out your window."

What was the reaction backstage from WWE officially confirming the Roast of WrestleMania, especially with Tony Hinchcliffe involved?

Some eye rolling, but that was about it. Talent haven't been as concerned about it as the general public and social media. A number of the wrestlers say they've met and like Tony Hinchcliffe.
