  • Tony Khan Says Kamille\’s Attack Remains A Mystery Amid TV Hiatus

    Tony Khan has acknowledged the ongoing mystery surrounding Kamille\’s backstage attack, which occurred on the November 30th episode of AEW Rampage. 

    This attack has led to her absence from AEW programming. Kamille, the former NWA Women’s World Champion, initially debuted in AEW as Mercedes Mone\’s bodyguard in July, later transitioning to in-ring competition before the attack. 

    Despite her absence, updates on her condition have been far and few between. In a recent interview with Tim Battle on the Battleground Podcast, the AEW CEO was questioned about Kamille\’s status and the possibility of a future match against Megan Bayne.

    “That’s a great question. We don’t know who attacked Kamille, and the last time we saw her, she was attacked. We know she had a breakup with Mercedes Mone in their business relationship. Mercedes is flourishing since then. She’s done really well on her own. But Kamille, we haven’t seen her since she was attacked, and we’re not sure what that was and what that was about. I do think that’s an interesting thought for sure, and it’s something to keep an eye on, but that would be a great matchup. When Kamille does return to get payback for that attack, it’ll be interesting to see who she goes after and what that was,\” Khan said.

  • Update On Eddie Kingston’s Return From Injury

    AEW star Eddie Kingston suffered a broken leg, torn meniscus, and torn ACL during his no-rope last-man-standing match against Gabe Kidd at NJPW Resurgence

    This is where he lost the NJPW Strong Openweight Title. The injury happen when his leg struck the barricade during a suplex. After the match, Kingston was further attacked by The Young Bucks after a confrontation with Jack Perry.

    While recovering, he began experiencing stomach problems due to stress. PWInsider.com caught up with Kingston for a recent interview. During it, he was asked if there was any update on his recent stomach issues.

    \”I just f–ked it up from stress and got meds for it,\” Kingston said.  \”It is getting better and better everyday. You can quote me here: I was stressed out about dumb sh– I can\’t control. So I f–ked up my stomach being a a–hole, but I\’m trying to get better and I will get better.  As of late, I have been up and down and up and down. It was a normal day for me. I just don\’t have certain things that I use to get my aggression out. This has been the longest I have ever been from my lady, pro wrestling.  This is as honest as I can be Mike.\”

    It was added that the expectation is that Kingston will be cleared to return to the ring this summer.

  • Alexa Bliss Removed From WWE World Appearance

    Alexa Bliss, who made a surprise return at the WWE Royal Rumble, has been absent from WWE television since wrestling only two matches. Adding to the mystery, she has now been removed from her scheduled appearance at WWE World during WrestleMania 41 weekend.

    A fan inquired about Bliss\’s absence from the Fanatic Events page, which was promoting her appearance at WWE World over WrestleMania 41 weekend next month. Fanatic Events confirmed that Bliss would no longer be attending. The company replied,

    \”Regrettably, Alexa Bliss is no longer attending. Please DM if you have any questions!\”

    Bliss was initially scheduled to appear at WWE World from the Las Vegas Convention Center from April 17th to 21st.

    This removal has puzzled fans, especially given WrestleVotes\’ report of WWE\’s \”major plans\” for Bliss at WrestleMania 41, potentially involving the Wyatt Sicks. Whether Bliss\’s absence from WWE World is related to these plans, or if she will return to television in time for WrestleMania, remains to be seen.

    As of this writing, Bliss has yet to comment on being pulled from the appearance. It\’s unclear when WWE exactly has her planned to make a return to television nor why she has disappeared.

  • WWE Survivor Series 2025 Location Revealed?

    WWE Survivor Series is potentially heading to a warmer climate, breaking the trend of recent cold-weather locations. While cities like Chicago, Boston, Brooklyn, and Vancouver have hosted the event in recent years, San Diego is now a leading contender, according to Fightful Select

    Internal sources indicate San Diego is under serious consideration, which would mark the first warm-weather Survivor Series with fans since Los Angeles in 2018. The specific date for this year\’s event is yet to be announced, though it has traditionally fallen on Thanksgiving weekend.

    This potential shift in the Survivor Series location comes amidst a packed schedule of WWE Premium Live Events (PLEs). Notably, WWE WrestleMania 41 is set to take place on Saturday, April 19, and Sunday, April 20, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, NV.  

    Following WrestleMania, WWE Backlash will be held on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri. ST. The Memorial Day weekend will see a WWE takeover in Tampa, Florida. Saturday, May 24, 2025, will feature WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, and Sunday, May 25, 2025, will host WWE Battleground, both at the Yuengling Center. 

    Later in the summer, WWE SummerSlam will take place on Saturday, August 2, and Sunday, August 3, 2025, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Simultaneously, on Sunday, August 3, 2025, WWE Clash In Paris will be held at the Paris La Défense Arena in Paris, France. Finally, in January 2026, WWE Royal Rumble is scheduled to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

  • Jey Uso: I Would Like To Go Toe To Toe In A Promo With The Rock

    Jey Uso has the opportunity to become a World Champion for the first time in WWE when he challenges World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER at WrestleMania 41. A victory would solidify his status as a top-tier competitor and cement his place in the main event scene.

    Beyond his championship aspirations, Uso has another personal goal—sharing the ring with The Rock, though not in a wrestling match. Speaking with the Daily Mail, Uso revealed his desire to go head-to-head with The Rock in a promo segment to test his skills on the mic.

    “I want to get in there. I would like to go toe-to-toe in a promo with him. I know The Rock is good like that, but I feel like I\’m new school with mine, I\’m really in it. I\’m really out there like that. Rock is very believable. He can be entertaining and all that, but I feel like I can bring some different kind of emotions from The Rock—family always hits different. I didn\’t know I could do it with Roman, with my brothers, so I would like to test those waters.”

    Regardless of where his match against GUNTHER falls on the WrestleMania 41 card, Uso is determined to deliver a performance worthy of his \”Main Event Jey\” moniker. Perhaps, 2025 will be the year that he gets it done.

  • WWE’s Original Post-WrestleMania 41 Plans For Drew McIntyre Revealed

    Drew McIntyre\’s past year has been a rollercoaster, marked by significant highs and lows. Now, his focus is on the future, with a feud against Damian Priest seemingly set to culminate at WrestleMania 41.

    According to Dave Meltzer\’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE originally planned for McIntyre to feud with Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes following WrestleMania. However, this plan depends on the outcome of the highly anticipated match between Rhodes and John Cena. If Cena wins the Undisputed WWE Title, the McIntyre vs. Rhodes rivalry is unlikely to materialize, as Meltzer believes a Cena vs. McIntyre program is improbable.

    Last year, McIntyre won the WWE World Title from Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 41, only to lose it moments later to Damian Priest. He then entered into a heated feud with CM Punk, which concluded in October inside Hell in a Cell. However, in 2025, McIntyre has been through some struggles.

    The top WWE star fell short in winning both the Men\’s Royal Rumble and the Elimantion Chamber matches. This prevented him from earning the right to challenge for a World Title at WrestleMania. He has only scored a singles win at a PLE or Saturday Night\’s Main Event special since August, which was a win over Sami Zayn.

    WWE will present the WrestleMania 41 premium live event on Saturday, April 19, and Sunday, April 20, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, NV.

  • WWE Interested Notable Veteran Free Agent

    WWE is reportedly showing strong interest in free agent powerhouse Jeff Cobb. According to Fightful Select, multiple sources confirm that WWE has been actively monitoring Cobb, who currently competes in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW). One source even claimed that Cobb\’s name has appeared on WWE\’s internal roster, although this has not been independently verified.

    Cobb\’s recent string of losses, a stark contrast to his previously dominant G1 Climax performance, has fueled speculation about his future. Following a recent defeat, he openly reflected, saying, \”Maybe it’s time to take my bags and go somewhere else.\”

    Meanwhile, AEW sources have firmly stated that Cobb is not expected to join their roster. With uncertainty surrounding the status of Cobb’s NJPW contract, WWE’s interest could lead to a major signing of a highly sought-after talent.

    Before his tenure in NJPW, Cobb built an impressive resume across multiple promotions. He wrestled in Lucha Underground as the masked Matanza Cueto and made a significant impact in Ring of Honor (ROH) and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG). He also captured the PWG World Tag Team Championship alongside Matt Riddle.

    In NJPW, Cobb became a former NEVER Openweight Champion and a two-time IWGP Tag Team Champion with Great-O-Khan. Additionally, he held the ROH World Television Championship during his time in ROH.

  • ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey Makes Debut On AEW Dynamite

    Following his debut on Wednesday\’s AEW Dynamite, \”Speedball\” Mike Bailey has officially become All Elite.

    In a surprise wild card appearance during the International title eliminator tournament, Bailey defeated The Beast Mortos, securing the pinfall victory with a decisive spinning crescent kick.

    Bailey\’s victory propels him into a four-way match on next week\’s Dynamite, with the winner earning a shot at Kenny Omega\’s International Championship at Dynasty. Immediately following his win, Tony Khan officially confirmed Bailey\’s AEW signing.

    Following the conclusion of his multi-year tenure with TNA Wrestling last November, 34-year-old Bailey\’s move to AEW was heavily speculated upon after he entered free agency. This anticipation was further fueled three weeks ago by a vignette on Collision, which teased his imminent arrival.

  • Stephanie\’s Places: Premiere Date and Guests for McMahon\’s ESPN Show

    \”Stephanie\’s Places,\” a new ESPN+ series hosted by Stephanie McMahon, is set to premiere on March 26, 2025. The show is produced in collaboration with Omaha Productions, ESPN, and WWE, following the format of other successful series like Peyton’s Places and Eli’s Places, hosted by Peyton and Eli Manning.

    The 10-episode series will take McMahon across the country to explore WWE’s rich history, featuring current stars and legendary figures. Each episode will debut weekly on ESPN+, with additional streaming options for Hulu and Disney+ subscribers through the Disney Bundle.

    Uncovering Untold WWE Stories

    McMahon aims to highlight untold stories and provide insight into the personal journeys of WWE superstars. She describes the series as an opportunity to share how these iconic figures overcame challenges on their path to success. Hosting the show has been a fulfilling experience for McMahon, allowing her to connect deeply with WWE talent and share their stories in a unique way.

    Featured WWE Stars and Episode Highlights

    The series will showcase top WWE names, including:

    • Cody Rhodes
    • CM Punk
    • Stone Cold Steve Austin
    • Roman Reigns
    • John Cena
    • Rhea Ripley
    • Charlotte Flair
    • The Undertaker
    • Triple H
    • Pat McAfee

    The first episode will feature McMahon and Triple H visiting WWE Headquarters, followed by a meeting with CM Punk in Cleveland to discuss his return to WWE after nearly a decade. Future episodes will take viewers to historic WWE locations, such as Broken Skull Ranch with Steve Austin, Madison Square Garden with The Undertaker, and Miami with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline.

    McMahon’s Return to WWE Programming

    \”Stephanie\’s Places\” marks McMahon’s first major WWE-related project since stepping down as co-CEO and chairwoman in January 2023. While initially nervous about returning, she has found the experience deeply rewarding, reconnecting with WWE’s past and present in a new way.

  • Roman Reigns: Acknowledge WWE’s Greatest Box Office Attraction

    Roman Reigns has broken his silence following his dramatic return to WWE Raw.

    Reigns\’ 2025 started strong with a victory over Solo Sikoa in a Tribal Combat match at the WWE Raw on Netflix premiere, reclaiming the Ula Fala. He later competed in the Royal Rumble but was eliminated by CM Punk and Seth Rollins before being attacked after the match.

    After weeks of absence due to an attack by Rollins following the Royal Rumble, the former WWE Universal Champion made a powerful statement upon his return on the March 11 episode.

    During the main event Steel Cage Match between Rollins and Punk, Reigns interfered, pulling Rollins from the cage to secure his victory. He then attacked both competitors, delivering a Spear to Punk.

    Rollins\’ attack had sidelined Reigns, but his return now sets the stage for a likely WrestleMania 41 showdown with both Rollins and Punk.

    Reigns took to Instagram to comment on his return, posting a picture with Paul Heyman backstage at Madison Square Garden. \”MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,\” he wrote. \”Acknowledge the Greatest box office attraction in WWE history and his Wiseman!\”

  • Mickie James Appears At WWE NXT Roadblock

    On Tuesday night, Mickie James made an appearance at WWE NXT Roadblock, held at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City. She attended the event alongside fellow WWE LFG coaches The Undertaker and Bubba Ray Dudley. Booker T, another LFG coach, was also present as part of the NXT commentary team.

    During a backstage segment, the former Women\’s Champion offered encouragement to Jaida Parker. She urged her to \”make it happen\” in her pursuit of the NXT Women\’s Championship.

    It\’s worth noting that Gail Kim previously revealed plans for a TNA tag team match featuring herself and James in 2024. However, the match ultimately did not materialize.

    James has not competed since September 2024. Throughout her career, which includes two stints with WWE, she has held the WWE Women\’s Championship five times and the WWE Divas Championship once. She also boasts five TNA Knockouts World Championship reigns.

    While James has served as a coach on WWE LFG, she will be replaced by Michelle McCool in the second season.

  • CJ Perry And Miro Renew Wedding Vows

    CJ Perry (formerly Lana) and Miro have renewed their wedding vows.

    The couple, who announced their separation in the winter of 2023, have reconciled and are back together. They told TMZ that they renewed their vows in a small church ceremony in Los Angeles.

    This comes after a period of separation, during which Perry was released by AEW in April 2024, and Miro\’s contract with the company expired earlier this year.

    Perry and Miro, who initially married in July 2016, announced their separation in late 2023. However, they never legally filed for divorce and began reconnecting in June 2024.

    Currently, both are free agents in the wrestling industry, with Perry having left AEW in April 2024 and Miro departing in February 2025.

    Following his AEW release, Miro returned to in-ring competition last month, appearing at a Qatar Pro Wrestling event on February 22 in Doha, Qatar, where he faced Alberto Del Río.

    While Dave Meltzer has reported that WWE has engaged in creative discussions regarding Miro, his potential return and contract status remain unclear.

  • Natalya On Why She Re-Signed With WWE: ‘I Have A Lot Of Faith In Triple H’

    After re-signing with WWE in 2024, extending her near-20-year tenure, Natalya is now exploring opportunities outside the company with Game Changer Wrestling and the NWA.

    During an appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, she discussed her decision to take chances on herself. When asked why she chose to re-sign with WWE before pursuing external bookings—rather than departing entirely for another promotion—Natalya explained her reasoning:

    \”Because I have a lot of faith in Triple H. I have a lot of faith in his ability to tell stories, and I’ve seen, just in the last year, the entire company is hotter than it’s ever been. Ever. We’re hotter than the Attitude Era right now.

    At Madison Square Garden, we were in the locker room, and the floor was vibrating. Every show feels big. It’s not just WrestleMania or the Royal Rumble—every single show is sold out, and a lot of that comes down to the direction and how we’re telling stories.\”

    Amazon: The Last Hart Beating by Nattie Neidhart w/Paul O\’Brien

    How Her Role in WWE Has Evolved

    Natalya also reflected on how her role in WWE has evolved:

    \”In the past, I’d sometimes be thrown into a storyline that lasted a week or put into a match that didn’t really go anywhere. That’s not a dig at anyone—it’s just how things were. I’ve always tried to be a good sport and a team player, and I never wanted to be difficult backstage. But now, I feel the difference.

    Triple H has a real vision, and while it takes time to unfold, you can see it happening. Look at Nia Jax, Liv Morgan, and Chad Gable—Triple H has completely changed their trajectories.\”

    Following the 2025 Women\’s Royal Rumble, Natalya competed on two episodes of WWE Main Event.

  • Identity Of Jey Uso’s Medic On WWE Raw Revealed

    During the March 10 episode of WWE Raw, a segment featuring Jey Uso in the trainer\’s room caught fans\’ attention due to the appearance of a metic. She has since been identified as independent wrestler Vicki \”The Bad Chick\” Venuto.

    Jey Uso\’s road to WrestleMania 41, where he is set to challenge World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER, has been met with constant brutal attacks from the champion. Despite these setbacks, Uso has maintained his momentum with a series of victories. Following his win over Grayson Waller on Raw, GUNTHER ambushed him, leading to the trainer’s room segment.

    In the segment, Alpha Academy offered Uso their support, while Venuto provided him with an ice pack in her role as the nurse. Fans quickly worked to identify her, and Venuto later confirmed her appearance on Twitter, mentioning her background as a former EMT in a conversation with Shane Helms.

    Venuto has built a notable independent wrestling career, particularly with Pro Wrestling Magic, where she is pursuing the PWM Women\’s World Championship. She is also set to appear at Awesome Championship Wrestling\’s \”Aftershock\” event on May 17.

    The exposure from her Raw cameo could lead to increased opportunities for Venuto. Time will tell if she eventually joins the WWE roster.

  • Seth Rollins: Travis Scott Doesn\’t Need To Be In A Wrestling Ring With These Giants

    Travis Scott played a key role in a pivotal moment at WWE Elimination Chamber, where John Cena turned heel on Cody Rhodes and aligned with The Rock. However, during the segment, Scott forcefully slapped Rhodes in the head, reportedly causing a ruptured eardrum. As a result, Rhodes now wears an earplug in his left ear when his entrance pyro goes off.

    During an interview on WFAN, Seth Rollins was asked about Scott’s involvement and the slap, adding to the controversy. Scott has since started selling \”Wrestling Is Real\” merchandise. Rollins shared his thoughts on the situation, saying:

    \”I have mercy on Travis Scott. That is not a man that needs to be in a wrestling ring with these giant humans. No offense to him, but he\’s a cruiserweight, brother. He can wrestle Rey Mysterio, maybe. He doesn\’t know what he\’s doing in there. He just whacked him in the side of the head, gave him a big ol\’ bruise, busted him open—just awful. If Cody gets his hands on him, it\’s done and dusted. Cody isn\’t like Braun Strowman or Andre the Giant; he\’s not a massive guy, but he dwarfs Travis Scott. If he can get through Travis\’ team of people, it\’s game over for him. Cody is a very nice guy—I won’t speak on his behalf—but he has an undercurrent of frustration, especially when he gets taken advantage of in a situation like that, absolutely.\”

    According to the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that there is internal heat on Scott for the incident. Some within WWE have questioned why he was involved in the segment at all.

  • Seth Rollins: Pro Wrestling Is ‘Much Healthier’ Than It Was 12 Years Ago

    Seth Rollins recently shared his satisfaction with the evolving landscape of professional wrestling, emphasizing how the industry has become more \”user-friendly\” for its performers.

    In an interview with WFAN Radio, Rollins highlighted the significant improvements compared to the 1980s and 1990s, noting that wrestlers today have a better work-life balance and more time with their families. He also pointed out that even since his WWE main roster debut in 2012, his demanding schedule has been drastically reduced.

    “The business has changed so much, it’s evolved so much. And it’s so much more, you know, user-friendly, I suppose, for us as performers,” Rollins said. “The schedule is way pared down even from when I started back in 2012. I went from wrestling 200-plus matches a year to now maybe doing like 50 at most.”

    Despite the lighter schedule, Rollins confirmed that his earnings have significantly increased.

    “The money is a little better [laughs]. The money is a little better,” he said. “The business is in a much healthier place than it was, you know, 12 years ago. So—it’s fantastic. And, yeah, you’re right, dude. Those guys [from past eras], it wrecked families. The business wrecked families. Because what are you going to do? You’re on the road for a month at a time. There [was] no oversight, there’s no help to get you healthy, you’re just constantly running and running, and it wears you down.”

    Meanwhile, Rollins is set to face CM Punk in a steel cage match on tonight’s Raw. Their rivalry is expected to extend to WrestleMania 41, with rumors suggesting a potential triple-threat match involving Rollins, Punk, and Roman Reigns. WrestleMania 41 will take place in Las Vegas on April 19 and 20.

  • Adam Copeland On Death Riders Storyline: It Was Confusing To Me At First

    To promote AEW Revolution, Adam Copeland sat down with Jon Alba of Sports Illustrated to discuss the event, his feud with Jon Moxley, and the ongoing Death Riders storyline.

    The Death Riders angle, which began last year, has been widely criticized by fans for its lackluster execution and unclear direction. Many hope that Copeland will put an end to the storyline by defeating Moxley for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship at the event.

    Reflecting on the storyline, Copeland admitted that it initially left him confused:

    “Well, for me, it was just confusing at first. Like, I didn’t fully understand what was happening. So I wanted to try and figure that out along with the audience, I think, and then go, ‘Alright, what can be the story here? The story can be you take them out, because it’s always the numbers that they have the advantage with. Okay, let’s do something about that. Let’s tell a story there.’ And more than anything, the beginning of the thing is, ‘Okay, you attacked all of my friends on television, right? Okay. So, yeah, I’m coming back. Time to step in and give this a shot.’”

    Copeland also emphasized the importance of storytelling in wrestling and how he approaches building narratives within his feuds:

    “Anything I’m involved in, I try to at least add some layers to it. And when putting the things together, going, ‘Okay, here’s the package for the match.’ You got to build in beats for that package to sum everything up, so if you watch that two minutes right before the match, you’re caught up. You got it, and know, ‘Alright, and now I’m looking forward to this thing.’ I think more than anything, that’s my mentality, is just trying to craft something or be a part of helping craft something where you get those beats, those tentpoles throughout that you can just insert in a package and get everybody caught up before, you know, they watch the actual match. But still, that to me is what hooks me.”

    AEW Revolution will take place this Sunday at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California.

  • Timeframe For WWE\’s Return To Australia Revealed

    An 18-month timeline has been set for WWE’s return to Australia, with TKO (the parent company of WWE and UFC) planning multiple events in Western Australia. This was confirmed by WWE Chief Content Officer Paul \”Triple H\” Levesque, who stated on Friday that WWE will be in Perth this fall.

    Triple H specifically mentioned, “We have Perth coming up in the fall.” Given the Northern Hemisphere context in which Levesque was speaking, the fall season begins in September.

    WWE has a history of major events in Australia. In 2002, the company hosted WWE Global Warning at Melbourne’s Colonial Stadium (now Marvel Stadium), drawing over 56,000 fans. The event featured The Rock, Triple H, and Brock Lesnar in the main event.

    In 2018, WWE returned for one of its biggest international shows, WWE Super Show-Down, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The event attracted over 70,000 fans, with marquee matches including The Undertaker vs. Triple H and AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe.

    Most recently, Elimination Chamber: Perth marked the first Premium Live Event (PLE) in Australia since Super Show-Down, reinforcing WWE’s commitment to the region. The event’s main event saw Nia Jax challenge Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship.

  • SNL Uses Linda McMahon Being Tombstoned By Kane Used As Punchline 

    The latest Saturday Night Live (SNL) Weekend Update took aim at Linda McMahon’s WWE past in a new skit.

    For years, McMahon served as CEO of WWE, working alongside her husband, Vince McMahon, the company\’s founder. During WWE’s Attitude Era, Linda was featured in several storylines as the McMahon family—Vince, Stephanie, and Shane—became prominent on-screen figures.

    One notable storyline from 2003 saw her attacked by Kane to build up a feud between Kane and Shane McMahon. This angle was recently referenced on Weekend Update.

    During the segment, Colin Jost used McMahon’s WWE history to joke about her role in dismantling the Department of Education. The punchline, “Maybe as high as 69,” was delivered alongside an image of Kane performing a Tombstone Piledriver on her.

    While the skit acknowledged Linda McMahon’s WWE tenure, it did not mention that Kane’s portrayer, Glenn Jacobs, is now the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee.

    Jost and his Weekend Update co-host, Michael Che, are no strangers to WWE. The duo competed in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 35 in 2019, adding to the long history of celebrity involvement at WrestleMania.

  • Update On Wardlow\’s AEW Status

    Wardlow has been absent from AEW television for nearly a year, leading to speculation about his status with the company.

    His last match took place on the March 13th episode of Dynamite, where he lost to then-AEW World Champion Samoa Joe via referee stoppage. Since then, he has remained inactive.

    According to Fightful Select\’s Sean Ross Sapp, Wardlow has recently been in Los Angeles, the site of tonight\’s AEW Revolution pay-per-view. This has naturally fueled speculation about a possible return. However, while sources haven\’t confirmed his presence backstage, they noted that it \”wouldn\’t be surprising\” if he were there.

    Despite this, it\’s been clarified that Wardlow\’s visit to Los Angeles is primarily for an unrelated project. Reports throughout his absence have consistently pointed to an injury as the reason for his inactivity, despite other narratives surfacing.

    As of now, there is no confirmation of Wardlow appearing on tonight\’s broadcast, nor any updates regarding his potential return timeline.

  • The Young Bucks Returning To AEW Soon

    The Young Bucks are expected to return to AEW television soon. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the duo was backstage at AEW’s show in Oceanside, CA, signaling that their comeback is approaching. While they have missed multiple California events, plans are in motion for their return.

    Their most recent AEW Tag Team Championship reign ended on the October 4 episode of Dynamite, where they dropped the titles to Private Party. The Bucks had previously defended the belts against them at Wrestle Dynasty.

    Following their AEW hiatus, they competed in NJPW, where they had a run as IWGP Tag Team Champions. Their last match took place on February 11, when they lost the titles. They have not been used by NJPW since.

    During their time away from AEW, Matt Jackson and his wife, Dana Massie, launched a travel-centric YouTube channel, Never Not Jet Lagged, which will also feature wrestling-related content.

    While creative discussions are underway for their return, the exact timeline remains unclear. However, once they’re back, they’ll find themselves in the midst of AEW’s stacked tag team division.

  • WWE Reportedly Looking To Host Second Women’s ‘Evolution’ Show This Year

    WWE is reportedly considering reviving the Evolution premium live event (PLE). This follows a previously rumored 2020 event that never materialized, signaling a renewed interest in the all-women\’s show.

    WWE Evolution was a groundbreaking all-women\’s pay-per-view (PPV) that took place on October 28, 2018, at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. It was the first and only all-female PPV in WWE history, featuring top stars from Raw, SmackDown, and NXT, alongside legendary wrestlers from past generations.

    The event featured several historic matches, including a main event between Nikki Bella and Ronda Rousey. Becky Lynch also defeated Charlotte Flair in a Last Woman Standing match for the SmackDown Women\’s Championship, a bout widely regarded as one of the best women\’s matches in WWE history.

    Despite Evolution’s success, WWE has yet to host a sequel. However, fan demand and continued support from wrestlers have kept hopes for a second event alive.

    According to BodySlam.net, WWE is targeting July 5 for an Evolution PLE at Mohegan Sun Casino & Resort. However, sources indicate that the event remains tentative and in the early planning stages.

  • Natural Disasters Reportedly Set for WWE Hall of Fame

    The Natural Disasters, a dominant tag team from 1991-1993 known for their size and power, are reportedly set to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, per WrestleVotes.

    Earthquake (the late John Tenta) and Typhoon (Fred Ottman) join the Class of 2025 and will take their rightful place in the WWE HOF along with Triple H and Michelle McCool next month over WrestleMania 41 weekend from Las Vegas.

    The Natural Disasters were a dominant WWE tag team in the early 1990s. Initially formed as heels under the management of Jimmy Hart, they later turned face and became fan favorites. They were known for their immense size and power, using their strength to overpower opponents.

    The duo won the WWF Tag Team Championship in 1992, defeating Money Inc. (Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster). Their run in WWE lasted until 1993 when they eventually disbanded, with both wrestlers moving on to other promotions.
