WWE Grand Slam Champion Bayley has unveiled her long-term vision for life after her in-ring career, confirming plans to open a wrestling school focused on developing the next generation of female talent.
During an appearance on The Nikki & Brie Show released Monday, Bayley revealed she will host a free three-day seminar from December 4-6 in Orlando, Florida, as her first step toward eventually opening her own wrestling school. The seminar is exclusively for experienced female wrestlers, with travel and accommodations covered for those selected to attend.
I\’ve always pictured myself continuing on with wrestling and wanting to open a school someday,\” Bayley told Nikki Bella. \”I\’ll be running a seminar next month to kind of wet my feet in that stuff.
The initiative reflects Bayley\’s commitment to addressing what she sees as a critical need in women\’s wrestling. She emphasized her desire to close the gap between independent female wrestlers and those signed to major promotions like WWE, AEW, and TNA. \”I don\’t want there to be this huge gap,\” she explained, noting that the industry relies on independent talent to thrive.
Bayley plans to expand the seminar to other locations, potentially traveling to places like Australia to make training more accessible. The December seminar will feature what she described as \”the best of the best\” to help mentor attendees.
Known for her mentoring role in WWE\’s locker room throughout her active career, Bayley\’s transition to full-time coaching would be a natural evolution for the multi-time Women\’s Champion. The Role Model recently reflected on her historic Iron Woman match with Sasha Banks that helped pave the way for women\’s wrestling a decade ago.
All three athletes participated in WWE\’s SummerSlam 2025 tryouts in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and have signed NXT/Performance Center developmental contracts. This follows reports earlier this week that new names had been added to the developmental system.
Walker, 21, is a University of Nebraska track and field athlete who was previously part of WWE\’s NIL program. She was included in the company\’s fifth NIL class announced in June 2025, which also featured Mark Henry\’s son Jacob Henry, Scott Steiner\’s son Brock Rechsteiner, and Titus O\’Neil\’s son TJ Bullard. Walker has now transitioned from her NIL deal to a full developmental contract.
Habibi-Likio, 26, comes from a football background, playing running back for the Oregon Ducks and Boise State Broncos from 2018-2022. He recorded 229 carries and 23 touchdowns across his NCAA career without ever fumbling the ball. His journey to WWE began after his WrestleMania 41 vlogs caught the attention of company recruiters.
Bogdanov, 31, is a decorated rhythmic gymnast who represented the United States at the 2011 Pan American Games, winning silver and bronze medals. She was also crowned Freestyle Calisthenics World Champion in 2015.
WWE Shop has expanded its Rhea Ripley x Terrifier collection with holiday-themed merchandise. Two new Christmas designs join the collaboration that launched in October.
The new Bloody Christmas Tree T-Shirt features Ripley and Art the Clown in a festive horror scene with a blood-spattered tree, capturing Terrifier\’s slasher aesthetic with seasonal flair.
The Christmas Chimney T-Shirt puts Ripley in a stylized holiday setting alongside Art. Both retail for $34.99 and are produced by Ripple Junction.
Ripley has been open about her love for the Terrifier franchise, even lobbying for a role in the upcoming Terrifier 4. Her connection to the horror series deepened in September when she was \”killed\” by Art the Clown actor David Howard Thornton during a staged skit at Silver Scream Con. Chris Jericho previously appeared in Terrifier 2 and 3.
Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix officially reunited in AAA Mexico at AAA Alianzas on November 22, issuing a challenge to Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano for a tag team match at Guerra de Titanes on December 20, 2025.
The challenge came via video message following the main event at the Gimnasio Olimpico Juan de la Barrera in Mexico City, where Mysterio and Americano—billing themselves as \”Los Gringos Locos 2.0?—had just defeated Hijo del Vikingo and Dragon Lee.
The Alianzas main event took a dramatic turn when Vikingo abandoned Dragon Lee during the match, refusing to tag his partner and walking out, which left Lee isolated for the finish.
Lucha Bros Finding Their Way Back
Penta and Fenix have been working on separate WWE brands since arriving earlier this year, with Penta on Monday Night Raw and Fenix on SmackDown. The two haven\’t teamed together since July 2024 when they were still with AEW, making this AAA reunion their first time competing as a unit under the WWE umbrella. Penta had previously expressed confidence that a reunion would eventually happen.
The cross-promotional nature of the bout underscores the ongoing collaboration between AAA and WWE, with Mysterio and Americano establishing themselves as a featured act in the Mexican promotion. AAA has seen significant growth under WWE\’s ownership, with TripleMania XXXIII breaking viewership records this past August.
Guerra de Titanes takes place at the Arena Guadalajara and consistently delivers major matches and international star power. The Lucha Bros versus Los Gringos Locos 2.0 showdown should draw significant interest from fans of both promotions heading into the new year.
Major League Wrestling will make history on December 13 when the MLW Women\’s World Featherweight Championship is defended in Thailand for the first time. Champion Shoko Nakajima will face Singapore Pro Wrestling\’s Alexis Lee at the \”TJPW LIVE in Bangkok\” event in Bangkok.
Nakajima, who has established herself as one of MLW\’s most dynamic champions with her speed and fighting spirit, will put her title on the line against Lee, one of Southeast Asia\’s most dangerous competitors known for her striking and power.
\”This is what Major League Wrestling is all about,\” said MLW CEO Court Bauer. \”Our champions aren\’t just fighting for belts—they\’re carrying the banner of Major League Wrestling to new destinations, new cultures, and new fans around the world. Seeing a world title defended in Thailand for the first time speaks to the momentum and global reach of what we\’re building.\”
Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson continued his dominant transition to mixed martial arts with a 24-second knockout victory over Kevin Hein in the main event of APFC 21 on Sunday night.
The former WWE signee needed less than half a minute to dispatch Hein at the Minnesota-based promotion\’s latest event, improving his professional MMA record to 2-0. Steveson\’s debut victory came via TKO over Braden Peterson in just 1:38, meaning he has spent less than two minutes combined inside the cage across both professional fights.
Steveson Wants UFC Competition
Following his latest victory, Steveson made his intentions clear by calling out UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard during his post-fight interview, signaling he believes he\’s ready for the sport\’s biggest stage. UFC President Dana White has been keeping a close eye on the former WWE star\’s MMA career.
Steveson captured Olympic gold in freestyle wrestling at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics before signing with WWE. After a brief stint with the company that never saw him reach the main roster, Steveson pivoted to MMA, where his elite wrestling background has translated into devastating finishing ability.
With UFC Fight Pass broadcasting the knockout and Steveson publicly lobbying for a shot, it appears only a matter of time before the 25-year-old gets the call to the Octagon.
Gable Steveson: Knockout Artist
Steveson\’s quick win over Kevin Hein this weekend keeps his momentum going. Last month, it took him a mere 15 seconds to drop Chattanooga\’s Billy Swanson on the canvas in the main event on the Dirty Boxing Championship\’s fight card on Oct. 30.
Single-day tickets for WrestleMania 42 will be available for purchase this Friday at Ticketmaster. 2-day combo ticket packages have been available for some time, but this additional option gives fans even greater flexibility to be part of WrestleMania while managing the slew of other WWE (and non-WWE) happenings taking place in Vegas that weekend.

The full Men\’s WarGames lineup was confirmed during last week\’s MSG show.
A crucial WarGames Advantage Match will determine which team enters the double cage first on Saturday. While the specific participants haven\’t been announced yet, one member of the team formed by Brock Lesnar, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed will face a representative from the quintet led by Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, or Jimmy Uso.
Last Time Is Now Tournament Quarterfinals
The tournament to determine John Cena\’s final opponent continues with two quarterfinal matchups:
Gunther vs. Carmelo Hayes Carmelo scored the upset win on Reed on SmackDown thanks to an assist from Rhodes and now faces The Ring General in what could be a career-defining match.
Solo Sikoa vs. Penta After defeating Finn Balor on SmackDown, Penta earned his spot against Solo Sikoa in this high-stakes quarterfinal bout.
Key Segments and Appearances

Becky Lynch Speaks Out Becky Lynch will speak live after being added to the Women\’s WarGames match opposing AJ Lee. After losing the Women\’s Intercontinental Championship to Maxxine Dupri with AJ Lee\’s interference, Lynch has been vocal on social media and joined the heel WarGames team for revenge.
Women\’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer Responds Women\’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer will respond to Nikki Bella before their match at Survivor Series, following weeks of attacks from her former friend.
With both WarGames matches set and championship implications on the line, Monday\’s Raw serves as the final opportunity for these superstars to gain momentum heading into Survivor Series.
Bret \”The Hitman\” Hart has made a bold claim about one of the most significant signings in WWE history, revealing he was directly responsible for bringing Stone Cold Steve Austin to the company.
During a live episode of the Johnny I Pro Show from Montreal, Hart detailed how he personally intervened to prevent Austin from signing with ECW and convinced Vince McMahon to bring him to WWE instead.
I think I had a lot to do with Steve going to WWF in the first place because I remember when I was always talking to Vince about getting guys to come in,\” Hart explained. \”And I had just heard from somebody that Steve Austin had been let go or had just resigned, I think, with ECW. And I told Vince, I said, \’Why would you let ECW sign Steve Austin and you\’re looking for guys to bring in?\’
The intervention proved remarkably effective. According to Hart, the turnaround was almost immediate.
Less than three, four, five days later, Steve Austin was sitting in the dressing room in WWE and they got him out of his deal and signed him. So, I had a lot to do with Steve coming to WWF in the first place,\” Hart stated.
Austin\’s arrival at WWE would ultimately prove to be one of the most important signings in professional wrestling history, with \”Stone Cold\” becoming the face of the Attitude Era and helping WWE win the Monday Night Wars against WCW.
Hart\’s eye for talent proved prescient, though his motivations were likely both altruistic and strategic. As a master technician, Hart recognized the money-making potential in working with Austin. The Texas Rattlesnake has publicly credited the Hit Man for helping him \”get over\” in WWE, and their legendary feud helped usher in what would become the Attitude Era, the most profitable period in company history. Austin recently disclosed the most memorable moment of his career, highlighting his time with The Rock and the McMahon feud.
Their WrestleMania 13 bout remains an all-time classic and became the first match inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame earlier this year.

WWE Superstar Zoey Stark reached a significant milestone in her recovery journey, announcing she can “finally able to fully run and pivot pain free” in a training video posted to social media on Saturday. The update comes six months after undergoing a grueling three-hour surgery to repair torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus injuries.
Stark suffered the devastating triple knee injury during a triple threat match on the May 19 episode of Raw. The severity of the damage initially threatened to require a second surgery, but Stark pushed through intensive rehabilitation at Optimize Physical Therapy & Performance in Henderson, Nevada, under the care of Dr. Zaki Afzal.
The recovery process has been both mentally and physically exhausting for the WWE star, who faced early setbacks and plateaus during physical therapy. Stark shared her first positive update in October, and her determination to surpass key rehabilitation milestones allowed her to avoid additional surgery and regain full range of motion.
WWE officials are reportedly targeting a mid-2026 return for Stark, reflecting both the seriousness of her injury and confidence in her eventual comeback. With each milestone achieved, Stark has expressed gratitude for her medical team’s support while maintaining an optimistic outlook about returning to in-ring competition.

The company confirmed the news via social media on Friday, stating that the former Cena rival is not medically cleared to continue competition in the tournament. WWE noted that additional information will be provided during tonight\’s episode of SmackDown.
The Last Time is Now Tournament is an eight-man single elimination competition spanning Raw and SmackDown to determine John Cena\’s final opponent in a matter of weeks. Sheamus was scheduled to face Carmelo Hayes in first-round action on SmackDown.

Fresh off her WWE LFG Season 2 victory, Dani Sekelsky has officially signed with NXT and already competed in her first match against Fallon. The former NFL Tennessee Titans cheerleader turned wrestler outlined her ambitious goals and dream matchups in an exclusive interview with Scott Johnson for Going Ringside, revealing championship aspirations and specific opponents she’s targeting in WWE’s developmental brand.
The Pressure of the Perfect Debut
While Sekelsky has already worked NXT house shows at venues like Coconut Loop, her official television debut remains the immediate priority. The pressure she’s placing on herself is deliberate and intense.
“Creating that moment of my TV debut and making it unforgettable—that’s my goal right now,” Sekelsky stated. “It’s going to be such a big opportunity for me and I’m putting a lot of pressure on myself, but I think anybody would in this situation.”
When asked about her ideal NXT opponent, Sekelsky immediately named Keani Jordan. The connection goes beyond mere competition—both women share similar athletic backgrounds that could create compelling in-ring chemistry.
“She’s so dynamic and she fits any role, any obstacle they throw at her,” Sekelsky praised. “Watching her growth on NXT in the short time that she’s been there, she takes everything with stride.”
The potential matchup appeals to Sekelsky not just for the athletic similarities but for Jordan’s versatility and locker room leadership qualities that could elevate both performers.
Testing Herself Against Lash Legend
Sekelsky’s second dream opponent represents a completely different challenge. Lash Legend’s size and experience advantage creates exactly the type of test the newcomer craves.
“I just love testing my strength and my ability and my confidence with somebody in the ring who has so much more experience and size on me, but can also help me grow as a performer in that moment,” she explained.
This willingness to seek out challenging opponents demonstrates Sekelsky’s commitment to rapid improvement rather than protected booking.
Championship Aspirations Are Clear
Sekelsky isn’t content with simply making the NXT roster. Her goals are explicitly championship-focused, with no intention of being a transitional talent passing through to the main roster without making an impact.
“Long term, obviously, I’m going for that NXT Women’s Championship,” she declared. “If I’m going to be in NXT, I want to make a name for myself in NXT.”
This commitment to the brand rather than viewing it as merely a stepping stone reflects a mature understanding of career development in WWE’s system.
The Ultimate Goal: WrestleMania
While focused on NXT success, Sekelsky doesn’t hide her ultimate aspiration. Like every WWE performer, the grandest stage beckons.
“The obvious goal is a WrestleMania moment when you’re a wrestler,” she acknowledged. “It’s a lie to say that you don’t dream of that because if you didn’t dream of it, you wouldn’t be here.”
Physical Preparation Meets Opportunity
The three months since winning LFG have been transformative for Sekelsky’s physical condition. After competing through multiple injuries—some shown on television, others kept private—she’s undergone a complete physical overhaul with WWE’s performance team.
The nutrition and fitness improvements have resulted in significant strength gains, positioning her to capitalize on any opportunity. This preparation extends beyond the physical, as she’s embraced The Undertaker’s philosophy of creating moments over executing moves.
Natural Star Quality Recognized
Post-interview analysis from wrestling insider Desiree Joseph highlighted Sekelsky’s undeniable screen presence. “You can’t not keep your eyes off of her,” Joseph observed, noting that despite her smaller stature, Sekelsky possesses a standout quality that makes her instantly likeable and camera-ready.
The comparison to current NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez in terms of size and grittiness suggests Sekelsky could follow a similar trajectory—proving that heart and determination can overcome physical limitations in WWE’s women’s division.
As the NXT women’s division continues to showcase talents like Lola Vice, Blake Monroe, and Roxanne Perez, Sekelsky’s arrival adds another compelling performer to an already stacked roster. With clear goals, specific targets, and the physical preparation to back up her ambitions, the former cheerleader appears ready to make her mark in WWE’s developmental system.
Former Tennessee Titans cheerleader Dani Sekelsky has successfully transitioned from the NFL sidelines to WWE’s squared circle, winning WWE LFG Season 2 and earning an NXT contract in the process. In an exclusive interview with Scott Johnson on Going Ringside, the Penn State alumna detailed her journey from performing for 60,000 football fans to mastering the art of professional wrestling.
The Recruitment That Changed Everything
Sekelsky’s WWE journey began earlier than most fans realize. The company first contacted her in May 2023 during her senior year at Penn State, though she had already committed to the Tennessee Titans cheerleading squad. Rather than abandon her NFL opportunity, she maintained contact with WWE recruiters for a full year before attending her tryout at WrestleMania in Philadelphia in April 2024.
“I knew it was an opportunity that I would not take for granted,” Sekelsky explained about keeping the WWE door open while fulfilling her Titans commitment.
The transition from cheerleading to wrestling proved more challenging than anticipated. Having never touched wrestling ropes before her tryout, Sekelsky faced a complete paradigm shift. After spending 20 years being taught never to fall, she suddenly had to master the art of taking bumps.
“You take your first bump. You take about three Advil and you’re like, I still feel terrible,” she admitted with a laugh. “It’s a big adjustment.”
Maintaining Identity Through Change
Rather than completely reinvent herself, Sekelsky found strength in maintaining elements of her cheerleading persona. She continues wearing her signature red lipstick—a tradition since age five—and incorporated her skirt and pompoms into her wrestling character.
“Pieces of me were still there while I was learning something so new,” she explained. These familiar touches provided comfort while mastering an entirely unfamiliar craft.
The LFG Experience: From Uncertainty to Victory
Sekelsky’s first season of WWE LFG saw her struggling to find her footing. “I wasn’t quite comfortable in my own skin yet,” she admitted about her initial Performance Center experience. Working with Mickie James, who spent over six years in developmental before her TV debut, taught Sekelsky the importance of patience and seizing every opportunity.
Season 2 marked a dramatic transformation. Specifically requesting The Undertaker as her mentor, Sekelsky explored multiple characters and personas under the WWE legend’s guidance. Her partnership with teammate Shiloh Hill ultimately led to victory.
The Undertaker’s Game-Changing Philosophy
Perhaps the most valuable lesson came from The Undertaker himself, who fundamentally shifted Sekelsky’s approach to performing. Rather than focusing on athletic moves and flashy spots, The Deadman emphasized creating memorable moments.
“It’s about the moments… how can I create a moment that the audience will always remember,” Sekelsky shared, crediting this philosophy with transforming her entire mindset. “Now I really just try to connect with the people and try to create those relationships with the audience.”
Recovery and Preparation
Following her LFG victory, Sekelsky immediately addressed the physical toll of competing through multiple injuries across both seasons—some of which were never shown on television. Working with WWE’s support staff, she overhauled her nutrition and fitness regimen, emerging significantly stronger than during the competition.
“I finally took care of my body,” she revealed. “I wanted to get stronger, be safer with my body, and just take care of myself so that any opportunity that was presented, I could take it.”
As Sekelsky prepares for her official NXT television debut, her journey from NFL cheerleader to WWE developmental wrestler stands as a testament to adaptability, perseverance, and the power of maintaining one’s authentic identity while embracing dramatic change.

Major League Wrestling is relocating its headquarters from Westchester, New York to Charleston, South Carolina, company President Court Bauer announced Monday night, according to the Charleston Post and Courier.
\”Charleston isn\’t just hosting Major League Wrestling anymore — it\’s home,\” Bauer stated, marking a significant shift for the wrestling promotion founded in 2002. The move represents a strategic embrace of wrestling\’s Southern roots and Charleston\’s growing business sector.
\”Charleston has real wrestling lineage, and it also has one of the strongest, healthiest business sectors in the country right now. The city is booming — tech, hospitality, entertainment — everything is on the rise,\” Bauer explained. \”That kind of ecosystem is exactly what MLW wants to be part of.\”
The former WWE writer emphasized Charleston\’s unique position in wrestling history, citing its connections to Jim Crockett Promotions and WCW. \”The South is where the soul of wrestling lives — it\’s where the sport hit harder, where gold and glory mattered, and where wrestling was a combat sport before anyone used that term,\” Bauer said.
Beyond nostalgia, Bauer sees economic opportunity in the relocation. \”We\’re bringing production, creative and live-event jobs to Charleston. We\’re proud to join Charleston\’s growing entertainment and sports community,\” he noted, adding that MLW events already drive tourism with fans \”staying in local hotels, eating at local restaurants, supporting local businesses.\”
The company is currently finalizing its specific Lowcountry location. \”We\’re not just setting up an office; we\’re planting roots. Charleston will be our hub, our production base and the launchpad for everything we do going forward,\” Bauer stated.

Injured New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo fired back at critics who questioned his appearance on WWE Monday Night RAW while recovering from a season-ending ankle injury.
The rookie, who suffered a dislocated ankle, fractured fibula, and deltoid ligament rupture in Week 8 against Philadelphia, faced backlash after appearing at Madison Square Garden during John Cena\’s final RAW episode on November 17. NY sports radio personalities criticized the appearance, with some calling it \”not a good look\” for an injured player.
Skattebo, still wearing a protective boot from his October 27 surgery, was ringside with teammates Abdul Carter and Roy Robertson-Harris when The Judgment Day faction approached comedian Andrew Schulz. After JD McDonagh taunted the Giants about playing defense \”for the first time this season,\” Skattebo shoved him, sparking a staged altercation.
The fourth-round pick from Arizona State didn\’t hold back in his social media response: \”Aye, honestly if you don\’t like that I\’m having a good time while dealing with a tough time, then just go ahead and unfollow and casually move on.\”
The Giants running back, nicknamed \”Nature Boy\” by teammates for his wrestling fandom, explained he\’s seeking happiness during his recovery. \”I\’m not able to play football and have the fun I\’ve been having my whole life so I am doing things outside the box trying to find stuff to keep me happy,\” Skattebo stated, adding, \”Enjoy the rest of y\’all\’s week and just don\’t talk about me if you ain\’t got nothing nice to say.\”

Skattebo assured fans he wouldn\’t jeopardize his recovery, noting \”Trust me, wouldn\’t do anything to jeopardize anything\” and clarifying his injured foot remained off the ground during the segment.
WWE Shop has since released official Cam Skattebo merchandise following his appearance at Cena\’s historic final RAW at MSG.

Laynie Luck claimed the vacant WWE ID Women\’s Championship on November 17, 2025, at Wrestling Open RI, completing an impressive single-night journey from qualifier to champion.
Congratulations to the new WWE ID Women's Champion @LaynieLuck!
Initially absent from the main event card, Luck earned her championship opportunity by winning a six-woman qualifier against Angelica Risk, Jordan Blade, Kaitlyn Marie, Nixi XS, and Lili Ruiz. She then defeated five competitors in the main event elimination match—Brittnie Brooks, Notorious Mimi, Shannon Levangie, Tiara James, and Airica Demia—to secure the title.
The championship became vacant in October when inaugural champion Kylie Rae announced her pregnancy alongside the expiration of her WWE ID contract. Rae had served as the division\’s cornerstone since its launch.
Luck\’s victory establishes her as a premier talent in WWE\’s ID development system. Her unexpected rise from last-minute qualifier to champion represents one of the division\’s most compelling underdog achievements, positioning her as the new face of WWE ID\’s women\’s division.
