Bianca Belair has been one of WWE’s top babyfaces for years, but the question of a potential heel turn continues to follow her. During the WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 media call, the EST addressed the possibility, making it clear that if she ever turns, fans won’t be cheering for her.

\”I never say never, but… being a successful babyface that can consistently stay at the top of the conversation is very hard. Once you get it, you don’t want to let go of that,\” Belair explained.

She emphasized that any shift in character would have to be significant, not just for the sake of change.

\”If that heel turn happens, the longer you can hold on to being a babyface, the bigger that heel turn will be,\” she continued.

However, Belair made it clear that she has no interest in being the kind of heel that fans still cheer for.

\”When I hear fans say, ‘I love so-and-so as a heel,’ that doesn’t work for me. If I ever turn heel, I want to be the kind of heel people genuinely don’t like… not the kind they ‘love to hate.’\”

Belair also praised Nia Jax for playing the role of a true villain in the women’s division and acknowledged how valuable that is for WWE storytelling.

\”Someone like Nia Jax, how valuable she is to this division playing that role—we need that,\” she noted.

For now, Belair remains one of WWE’s top heroes, but her comments suggest that if she ever embraces the dark side, she’ll make sure fans truly despise her.

\”Right now, I don’t know if I’m ready for that. I don’t know if the fans are ready for that. But if it ever happens, it’s going to be something big.\”

With Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania on the horizon, Belair is focused on continuing her dominance. But if a character shift ever comes, it sounds like she’ll make sure it’s unforgettable.

Fox has officially denied reports that it is collaborating with Vince McMahon on a new wrestling promotion. The clarification comes amid speculation about McMahon’s next move following his resignation from WWE in January 2024.

According to The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand, a Fox spokesperson confirmed that the network has no involvement with McMahon in any wrestling-related capacity.

The denial counters speculation that McMahon, who left WWE and its parent company, TKO Group Holdings, might be working on a new venture with Fox as a potential broadcast partner.

McMahon’s resignation came after Janel Grant filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexual misconduct. The lawsuit added to previous controversies, including hush-money payments that had already drawn regulatory scrutiny. While McMahon has remained silent on his future plans, the Fox statement makes it clear that the network is not involved in any such efforts.

Kayla Becker didn’t hold back when discussing Roman Reigns during her appearance on After We Wrap, a podcast hosted by actress Gabriella Ortiz. When the topic of Reigns came up, Becker had a playful but pointed response.

\”Oh, we’ll deal with him, girlfriend, because he just blows you off anytime you ask him an intelligent question—just like a man,” she joked.

As a backstage interviewer for WWE, Becker frequently interacted with Reigns, especially during the years-long Bloodline storyline.

She also shared her appreciation for Reigns’ on-screen advisor, Paul Heyman, adding with a laugh,

“His little sidekick Paul Heyman can get it too.”

Becker’s comments offer a lighthearted glimpse into the dynamics behind WWE’s biggest stars and those who work with them. While Reigns remains one of WWE’s most dominant figures, it seems he may not always be the most cooperative interview subject.

Though she has left WWE, Becker remains closely connected to the industry, often reflecting on her experiences and friendships built along the way. Whether or not she’ll cross paths with Reigns again remains to be seen, but for now, she’s enjoying life outside the wrestling bubble.

The Undertaker is one of the most legendary figures in wrestling history, but even he struggled with retirement. On Six Feet Under, he opened up about the difficult transition out of the ring.

“I didn’t know that I wanted to coach. I didn’t know what to do. This is all I’d known for 30 years,” he admitted.

For decades, The Undertaker was the locker room leader in WWE. He traveled nonstop, performed at the highest level, and helped shape the business. But when the time came to step away, he felt lost.

“You can still love the business, but it doesn’t love you back the same way after you’re done,” he said.

DDP, who also struggled with life after wrestling, could relate. “That’s why I threw everything into DDP Yoga. I had to find something that gave me purpose again,” he said.

Undertaker admitted that watching DDP’s second act was inspiring.

“Honestly, as great as your wrestling career was, I think what you’re doing now might be your greatest legacy,” he told DDP. “Helping people walk again, giving them hope—man, that’s bigger than selling out arenas.”

Now, Undertaker has found his own path, but he acknowledges how tough retirement can be.

“It’s hard to walk away from something that’s been your life for so long. And no one really prepares you for that part.”

Life After Wrestling

Since retiring from in-ring competition in 2020, The Undertaker has remained actively involved in WWE through various roles. You may have heard, he hosts the popular \”Six Feet Under\” wrestling podcast.

He also continues to tour with his successful \”1 deadMAN SHOW\” stage show, featuring him sharing never-before-heard stories from his Hall of Fame career and taking questions from fans in an intimate setting. The show has consistently sold out venues across major cities across the US and UK.

He currently serves as a coach on A&E\’s reality series \”WWE LFG (Legends and Future Greats)\” alongside fellow wrestling icons Mickie James, Booker T, and Bubba Ray Dudley. On the show, which premiered in February 2025, Taker mentors the aspiring wrestlers who are competing for potential WWE contracts.

Through these endeavors, The Undertaker continues to shape the future of professional wrestling, passing on his unique perspective and expertise to the next generation of WWE talent.

A wedding reception recently took an electrifying turn when newlyweds made their grand entrance to WWE Superstar Jey Uso\’s \”Main Event Ish\” theme song. As the iconic \”YEET\” catchphrase played, guests raised their phone lights in the darkened reception hall, just like a WWE crowd.

The wedding party preceded the couple in pairs, building anticipation. When the DJ finally announced the newlyweds, the room erupted with guests performing Jey Uso\’s signature \”\”YEET handwave\” gesture.

TikTok user @playwithjambo shared the video with the caption,

\”my cousin and his wife walked into their wedding reception to jey uso\’s intro and the entire reception yeeted for them ?\”

Guests enthusiastically participated in \”YEET\” chants as the couple made their way through a sea of phone lights, creating an unforgettable moment.

If you can find a partner that supports your love of professional wrestling, you\’re in good shape. If they\’ll agree to something like this, you\’ve hit the jackpot!

Tonight, February 24, 2025, WWE Raw is set to deliver an exciting show live from the Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, airing at 8 PM ET on Netflix. With the Elimination Chamber event looming, here’s what’s on tap based on the latest announcements and developments:

Matches

• WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Match: Bianca Belair and Naomi will defend their titles against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. This match stems from a heated rivalry, sparked by video evidence linking Morgan and Rodriguez to an attack on Jade Cargill. The personal stakes are high, and a title change could shake up the women’s division heading into WrestleMania season.
• WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship Match: Lyra Valkyria puts her newly won title on the line against Dakota Kai, who earned her shot by defeating Ivy Nile last week. Valkyria beat Kai in the tournament final to claim the inaugural championship, so this rematch promises to be a fierce battle as Kai looks to reclaim her momentum.
• Triple Threat Match: Penta vs. Ludwig Kaiser vs. Pete Dunne: After a chaotic brawl last week, these three hard-hitting competitors will collide in a triple threat match. It’s a chance for each to prove their dominance, with no alliances likely to hold in this unpredictable showdown.
• The New Day vs. LWO: Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods of The New Day take on Cruz Del Toro and Joaquin Wilde of LWO. This feud intensified after The New Day’s brutal attack on Rey Mysterio, prompting LWO to seek retribution. Expect a fast-paced, emotionally charged tag team clash.

Segments

• CM Punk, Seth \”Freakin\” Rollins, and Logan Paul Appear: Just days before they step into the Elimination Chamber, these three larger-than-life personalities are slated to be in the building. Expect some intense verbal sparring and maybe even a physical preview of what’s to come, given their history of backing up their egos in the ring.
• Rhea Ripley’s Message: Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley returns with a message for IYO SKY ahead of their anticipated title match next week. After SKY’s warning last week, this segment could set the tone for their showdown.

What Else to Expect

• Jade Cargill Return Rumors: There’s chatter about Jade Cargill making a comeback after her recent assault, possibly confronting Belair and Naomi or Morgan and Rodriguez to settle the score.
• Gunther Buzz: The World Heavyweight Champion is rumored to appear, likely addressing his ongoing tension with Royal Rumble winner Jey Uso. Their heated exchanges have been a highlight, and tonight could escalate their road to WrestleMania.

With Elimination Chamber qualifiers wrapped up last week, it\’s full speed ahead to Saturday\’s premium live event from Toronto!

Logan Paul has revealed that he will no longer be performing a specific move in WWE, despite recently adding it to his in-ring arsenal.

On February 10, Paul competed in his first-ever match on WWE Raw, securing a victory over Rey Mysterio to qualify for the men’s Elimination Chamber match on March 1. During the bout, he debuted several new moves, including a finisher dubbed the “Paulverizer” by commentator Pat McAfee, which he used to pin the WWE Hall of Famer.

Paul also executed the Moonsault & Battery, a maneuver popularized by Shane Mercer. The move drew an enthusiastic reaction from both the crowd and the commentary team, with Michael Cole giving Mercer a shoutout during the broadcast. However, despite its impact, Paul has decided to retire the move immediately.

Sharing a clip of the move on Instagram, Paul captioned it,

“Never doing that again.”

Following his victory, Paul will appear on the February 24 edition of Monday Night Raw, where he joins CM Punk and Seth Rollins, both of whom have also secured spots in the Elimination Chamber match.

The competition on WWE LFG (Legends & Future Greats) has intensified as the 16 aspiring superstars have been divided into four teams, each mentored by a WWE Hall of Famer.
