The Rock breaks character; sends Seth Rollins a message after WrestleMania during hiatus
At this time, The Rock is not part of any ongoing storyline in WWE anymore - at least overtly. While there appears to be a coup in The Bloodline, with Solo Sikoa seemingly taking over as Tribal Chief from Roman Reigns, there have been rumors that The Brahma Bull is the one behind Sikoa's actions. However, there's been no confirmation from anyone that this is the case and it's no more than a fan theory right now. Meanwhile, The Rock went through a particularly taxing WrestleMania himself, wrestling in a 45-minute tag team match against Rollins and Cody Rhodes while teaming with Roman Reigns on Night One. They won their match and he's now planning to come back later and has already sent a warning to Cody Rhodes.
However, in the video, he also broke character enough to send Seth Rollins a message. He congratulated Rollins and said that the star had an incredible WrestleMania and that he'd done a great job in his role. He called him the MVP of the WrestleMania weekend.
Current WWE champion appears to accept offer to join The Judgment Day

Dirty Dom took to X (formerly Twitter) today to seemingly offer a spot in The Judgment Day to the WWE United States Champion. He included a photo of him and Logan Paul shaking hands backstage at WrestleMania XL.
As seen in the link below, The Maverick responded with the 'smirking face' emoji, and an edited graphic that shows him wearing the purple and black colors of the faction. The photo was originally posted by a fan in the replies to Dominik's post.

FROM THE RUMOR MILL
30-year-old WWE Superstar released
PWinsider is now reporting that WWE has parted ways with 30-year-old Sid Scala, although it's unknown when he was released. This report is from this past week. Sid Scala was one of the stars initially signed as part of NXT UK when the company decided to create a brand based on the success of the first-ever United Kingdom Tournament, back in 2017.
The brand itself folded in September 2022 and the company parted ways with several stars but retained a small group with the promise of NXT Europe on the horizon.
