So, we can all breathe. After a week of turmoil, things are a little bit clearer about where we’re going for WrestleMania – and man, is the road to the Grandest Stage of the Them All looking exciting.
A heel Rock, an empowered Bloodline, Cody calling his right shot and so much more besides - and what happens in Vegas definitely doesn't stay in Vegas after a sensational press conference in Sin City!
We're talking about WWE calling a massive audible and why it was best for business, Seth Rollins stepping up, whether Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch could be the biggest women's match ever and loads, loads more!

At the risk of sounding redundant, what a week in wrestling.
The main event of Wrestlemania? Who knows? Is The Rock a face or a heel? Who knows? Will we get answers any time soon? Who knows? Feelings running high, tensions boiling over – amongst fans, wrestlers, pundits, everyone – and we’re talking all about it on this week’s Earning The Push.
We talk about the Earth-shattering decision by WWE to insert The Rock into the Wrestlemania main event scene at the expense of Cody Rhodes; the 'Rocky Sucks' chants on Raw; how WWE can fix the damage they've done; the segment of fans who actually LIKE this creative - basically, we try and break this all down, and hazard a guess at what the outcome could be!

The phrase ‘what a week’ doesn’t really do the past seven days justice – but still, what a week!
WWE announces that Raw will move to Netflix in a deal that overturns the way we will consume their product, The Rock joins the board of TKO, CM Punk and Cody Rhodes have an epic confrontation, William Regal returns on NXT - oh, and the Royal Rumble is this Saturday, and no-one has a clue about what we’re going to be doing at WrestleMania.
We get into it all on this week's show - including why this could be the wildest Final Four in Rumble history, surprises and suspense - and Charlie's problems with bags for life!
