  • Ralph Mosca, Former WWE Enhancement Talent, Passes Away at 55

    Ralph Mosca, a former WWE enhancement talent known for his contributions to both national and Florida independent wrestling, has passed away at the age of 55. Mosca, who also wrestled under the name Ralph Lemieux, died on November 10, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of memorable performances and championship victories.

    During his career, Mosca was a notable presence in the early 1990s WWF scene, sharing the ring with wrestling legends such as Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Mike Rotunda, and The Headshrinkers. In addition to his time with WWF, Mosca was a prominent figure in Florida’s wrestling circuit. He became a staple in promotions like Full Impact Pro and American Combat Wrestling, where he clinched the ACW Heavyweight Title on four separate occasions. Notably, Mosca competed in his final match in July 2023, where he emerged victorious in a battle royal.

    Reflecting on Mosca’s passing, fellow wrestler Fidel Sierra shared his heartfelt condolences on Facebook, saying, “Just want to say it’s a very sad day. Finding out Ralph Mosca passed away, a lot of great times together. We booked FUW together for a while and he would come by my bar, Crazy Dave’s Sports Bar. We always laughed together, had some crazy times. At the end of the day, I lost another brother in this pro wrestling business. Rest in peace, condolences to the family and friends from Fidel, Sierra, the Cuban, Assassian, and fantasy.”

    Ralph Mosca’s impact on the wrestling world, particularly in Florida, is indelible. His contributions will be remembered by fans and colleagues alike as the wrestling community mourns the loss of a respected competitor and friend.

  • Miranda Alize Responds to AEW Walkout Controversy With Powerful Message

    Miranda Alize has broken her silence following the controversial walkout from Saturday’s AEW Collision taping, posting a defiant message on her Instagram Stories that frames the incident as standing up against being taken advantage of.

    “The moment you start standing up for yourself, everything shifts. Suddenly you’re the problem – not because you’ve changed, but because you’re no longer letting them take advantage of you,” Alize wrote. “They’ll paint you as the villain, but that’s okay because you’re finally choosing yourself. This is where your freedom begins.”

    The post comes after Alize and partner Nixon Newell left the November 8 Collision taping in Houston after learning their match against Anna Jay and Tay Melo would only receive three minutes. While initial reports suggested they refused to lose, both wrestlers have clarified the issue was the match duration, not the outcome.

    The situation has escalated dramatically, with Newell revealing during a Twitch stream that she received multiple death threats following the incident. “It’s lovely waking up to death threats again for standing up for what we believe in,” Newell said, noting she received three threats in a single day.

    Despite both wrestlers maintaining they were given permission to leave after expressing their concerns professionally, Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer reports it’s “highly unlikely” either will be booked by AEW again. The incident marks another chapter in ongoing discussions about talent treatment and creative control in professional wrestling.

  • WWE to Cover Ridge Holland\’s Neck Fusion Surgery

    Former WWE Superstar Ridge Holland revealed on Busted Open Radio that WWE will pay for his upcoming neck fusion surgery, even after his controversial release from the company. The procedure will sideline Holland until at least May 2026.

    Holland, whose real name is Luke Menzies, confirmed that WWE is covering both the surgery and related physical therapy expenses. This decision comes after a public dispute regarding his medical care and contract non-renewal. WWE had released Holland just days before his contract was set to expire, shortly after he suffered a severe Lisfranc foot injury while competing at a TNA event.

    \”WWE is paying for his upcoming neck fusion surgery,\” Holland stated during the radio appearance, addressing concerns about his medical expenses.

    The former WWE talent also clarified that a GoFundMe campaign launched by his family was \”created without his knowledge and would be discontinued,\” with all funds being donated to charity.

    WWE\’s decision to cover medical costs for both his foot and neck injuries, despite no longer being under contract, represents a notable resolution to what had become a controversial situation regarding the company\’s treatment of injured talent.

  • Bully Ray Predicts Jon Moxley\’s WWE Return: \”Everybody Comes Back\”

    WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray recently shared his thoughts on Jon Moxley’s future, predicting that the former AEW World Champion will eventually return to WWE. During an appearance on Busted Open Radio, Ray expressed his belief that most top wrestling stars will find their way back to WWE at some point in their careers.

    Ray elaborated on his perspective, suggesting that while wrestlers may seek to maximize their earnings by exploring opportunities with other companies, they often end up feeling frustrated or out of place.

    “Everybody will eventually come back to the WWE because if their eyes haven’t been opened already, their eyes will eventually open. They will get every drop of money they can possibly get out of that company. And then they’ll get frustrated or realize this is not it for me anymore. Yes, I do believe everybody will eventually come back,” Ray stated.

    This prediction comes at a time when many wrestlers are navigating the increasingly competitive landscape of professional wrestling, with AEW emerging as a significant player alongside WWE. Moxley, who has become one of AEW’s standout performers, has yet to comment on any potential return to WWE.

    With AEW original Chris Jericho expected back in WWE before he retires, WWE fans holding out for an eventual reunion of The Shield have reason to be hopeful.

    Jon Moxley\’s Importance to AEW

    Tony Khan has made several recent statements about Jon Moxley, emphasizing his central role and describing him as one of the most important people in AEW both on and off screen. In interviews from October 2025, Khan sang Moxley\’s praises, calling him one of the most important signings in AEW history. Khan highlighted Moxley\’s consistent weekly presence, his respect among the locker room, and his pivotal influence on the company\’s direction and culture.?

    Khan has also publicly compared Jon Moxley to Hall of Famer Harley Race, likening Moxley\’s role as AEW\’s tough, veteran presence and calling him a “phenomenal leader” and “genius about pro wrestling.”

  • Sonya Deville Reveals Backstage Fight Between Mandy Rose and Liv Morgan During WWE Training

    Former WWE Superstar Sonya Deville has revealed a shocking backstage altercation between Mandy Rose and Liv Morgan during their time at the WWE Performance Center, while also criticizing the facility\’s training methods. Speaking on CJ Perry\’s \”Identity Crisis\” podcast, Deville detailed how a routine promo class exercise turned into a legitimate physical confrontation.

    The incident occurred during a \”pull-apart promo\” drill, a standard training exercise where wrestlers practice physical confrontations. According to Deville, what began as a worked drill quickly escalated into reality.

    \”I\’m feeling like wind like whiz past my ear and I\’m like, yo, they\’re really throwing,\” Deville recalled. \”And then I hear one of them say, \’What, bitch?\’ And then I\’m like, \’Wait, real.\’\”

    The situation intensified as both women began legitimately fighting.

    \”You could feel the intensity in someone\’s body when they\’re no longer working,\” Deville explained. \”Mandy had Gianna\’s hair. Gianna had Mandy\’s hair. And they\’re screaming at each other and they\’re swinging for the fences.\”

    Deville also criticized the Performance Center\’s approach to promo training, suggesting inadequate instruction may contribute to tensions.

    \”My biggest issue with the Performance Center and their promo classes is that there\’s no real acting teachers,\” she stated, questioning whether instructors had actual acting experience or proper teaching credentials.

    This revelation comes as all three women have taken different paths since their WWE developmental days. Morgan currently recovers from a shoulder injury sustained in June, Rose was released from WWE in December 2022, and Deville\’s WWE contract ended in February 2025.

  • Update On Giulia\’s Surprising Championship Loss on SmackDown

    Chelsea Green secured the WWE Women’s United States Championship on SmackDown, defeating Giulia with a controversial assist from Alba Fyre. The title change, which occurred on the November 7, 2025, episode, has sparked discussions among wrestling fans and insiders.

    Alba Fyre\’s interference was pivotal in Green\’s victory, raising questions about the booking decisions surrounding Giulia\’s title reign. According to an insider report, the decision to have Giulia drop the championship aligns with long-term plans to elevate her into the main event scene. This strategic move aims to reposition Giulia in a positive light, despite losing her first WWE gold in such quick fashion.

    In a tweet, Cory Hays of BodySlam.net noted, \”The plan weeks ago was for her to enter the main event scene. Hoping that’s still the plan and she took the L like that to Chelsea for that reason.\” This suggests that WWE is paving the way for Giulia to take on more prominent storylines and matches moving forward.

    WWE fans were initially baffled by the booking decision to have Giulia lose so quickly, but a firm push to the SmackDown main event scene would justify it to some degree.

  • Timeline of John Cena\’s Most Memorable Boston Moments

    As John Cena prepares for his final WWE appearance in Boston tonight on Raw at TD Garden, wrestling fans are reflecting on the Massachusetts native\’s incredible history in Beantown. From his first championship victory to controversial hometown reactions, here\’s a chronological look at Cena\’s most memorable Boston moments.

    First Championship Glory at Madison Square Garden (March 14, 2004)

    John Cena\’s journey to becoming a 17-time World Champion began at WrestleMania 20 when he captured his first WWE title – the United States Championship – defeating Big Show at Madison Square Garden. The 26-year-old rising star delivered an impressive Attitude Adjustment (then called the FU) to the 500-pound giant, launching his career as a future main eventer. This victory marked the beginning of Cena\’s transformation from mid-card rapper to WWE\’s franchise player.

    Best of Five Series Finale (October 3, 2004)

    After losing and regaining the US Title multiple times throughout 2004, Cena engaged in a memorable Best of Five series with Booker T that culminated at No Mercy. The series stood tied at 2-2, with the final match determining the undisputed United States Champion. Cena prevailed in the decisive fifth match, securing his second US Championship reign and solidifying his status as a rising star in WWE\’s competitive landscape.

    Hometown Heartbreak at SummerSlam (August 20, 2006)

    In one of his most controversial Boston appearances, Cena challenged Edge for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam 2006 at TD Garden. Despite the hometown advantage, Cena received a mixed reaction from Boston fans and ultimately lost when Edge used brass knuckles to retain the title. The loss stung particularly hard as it occurred in front of Cena\’s family and hometown crowd, though he would gain revenge weeks later at Unforgiven in Toronto.

    World Heavyweight Championship Triumph (November 23, 2008)

    Cena made a triumphant return to TD Garden at Survivor Series 2008, capturing his first World Heavyweight Championship by defeating Chris Jericho. After missing months due to a herniated disc injury suffered at SummerSlam, Cena\’s comeback victory in Boston marked one of his most emotional championship wins. The victory was particularly special as it represented his first world title win at TD Garden, adding another layer to his Boston legacy.

    The Rock Confrontation and Mixed Reception (March 5, 2012)

    In a shocking turn of events during the build to WrestleMania XXVIII, Cena faced an unusual situation at TD Garden – his own hometown crowd booed him during a confrontation with The Rock. Despite describing The Rock as the \”Michael Jordan of the mic,\” Cena found himself dealing with a divided Boston crowd as his rivalry with The Great One reached fever pitch. The Rock even filmed vignettes around Boston historical sites, throwing Cena merchandise into Boston Harbor in a modern take on the Boston Tea Party.

    Money in the Bank Ladder Match Victory (June 29, 2014)

    Cena added another championship to his Boston collection at Money in the Bank 2014, winning a grueling eight-man ladder match for the vacant WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Defeating Randy Orton, Kane, Roman Reigns, Cesaro, Bray Wyatt, Sheamus, and Alberto Del Rio, Cena climbed the ladder to claim his 15th world championship at TD Garden. The victory was especially significant as it came after hitting both Kane and Orton with Attitude Adjustments before securing the titles.

    The Final Farewell (November 10, 2025)

    Now, as Cena\’s legendary career enters its final chapter, Boston will host one of his last WWE appearances. The \”Last Time Is Now\” tournament begins at TD Garden, determining who will face Cena in his retirement match at Saturday Night\’s Main Event on December 13, 2025.

    For the West Newbury native who has given Boston fans countless memories over two decades, this final appearance represents the end of an era. From his first title win to championship triumphs at TD Garden, John Cena\’s Boston legacy is forever etched in WWE history.

  • Westside Gunn Ends WWE Relationship After Being Removed From Raw in Buffalo

    Rapper and wrestling promoter Westside Gunn announced he\’s cutting ties with WWE following an incident at Monday Night Raw in his hometown of Buffalo. The hip-hop artist, known for incorporating wrestling references throughout his music career similar to Wu-Tang Clan\’s use of martial arts, revealed he was removed from the arena just three minutes into the show despite spending $5,000 on tickets plus travel and hotel costs.

    Gunn confirmed he\’s now focusing exclusively on his own promotion, 4THROPE, with wrestler Josh Bishop featured on his upcoming trilogy album cover. \”U don\’t have to worry about me pushing that product over there again,\” he concluded.

  • Jade Cargill Captures WWE Women\’s Championship at Saturday Night\’s Main Event

    Jade Cargill won her first WWE singles championship on November 1, 2025, defeating Tiffany Stratton to capture the WWE Women\’s Championship at Saturday Night\’s Main Event in Salt Lake City, Utah.

    The match showcased Cargill\’s ruthless approach following her recent heel turn. Stratton entered the bout with a taped knee after suffering an attack from Cargill days prior, and the new champion relentlessly targeted the injury throughout the contest. Cargill dominated the majority of the match, delivering punishing offense including a devastating chokeslam before securing the pinfall victory.

    Despite a brief comeback attempt from Stratton, the injured champion could not overcome Cargill\’s aggressive assault. The victory marks a significant milestone for Cargill, who made a high-profile transition from AEW to WWE and has now captured her first major singles title with the company.

    Cargill\’s championship win immediately reshapes the women\’s division landscape and sets up potential rivalries with both the former champion and other top contenders. The title change was featured as one of the marquee moments on Saturday Night\’s Main Event, which also included championship matches involving CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, and Drew McIntyre.

    The new champion\’s aggressive style and recent character shift position her as a dominant force atop the WWE women\’s division heading into the final months of 2025.

  • Seth Rollins Announces Six-Month Absence Due to Injury

    Seth Rollins has confirmed he will be sidelined for approximately six months following shoulder surgery, an injury sustained during his World Heavyweight Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WWE Crown Jewel on October 11 in Perth, Australia. The injury occurred when Rollins executed a coast-to-coast diving headbutt.

    During an appearance on NFL Network\’s Good Morning Football, Rollins addressed his recovery timeline with characteristic personality: \”I\’m out of action for six months. My World Championship is going to be worn by some schmuck, either Jey Uso or CM Punk.\”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A3DxKMSHWM&pp=ygUMc2V0aCByb2xsaW5z

    The injury forced Rollins to vacate the World Heavyweight Championship, with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce officially stripping him of the title on the October 20 episode of Raw. WWE accelerated storyline plans, having The Vision members Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed turn on Rollins during the October 13 Raw, effectively writing him off television.

    CM Punk and Jey Uso will now compete for the vacant championship at Saturday Night\’s Main Event on November 1. Rollins\’ six-month absence means he will miss Survivor Series, the 2026 Royal Rumble, and potentially WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas on April 18-19, 2026. However, if his recovery progresses as expected, a late March or early April return could allow him to make WWE\’s biggest show of the year.

  • Major Plan For Survivor Series Involving John Cena’s Retirement Match

    A significant storyline involving John Cena’s retirement was reportedly planned for Survivor Series just weeks ago, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The plan would see Cena capture the Intercontinental Championship from Dominik Mysterio at the November pay-per-view before defending it against GUNTHER in what would be Cena’s retirement match.

    Dave Meltzer noted that Dominik Mysterio is the favorite to retain his title this weekend Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1, specifically to preserve this Survivor Series angle. “Mysterio would be the favorite given there was the plan a few weeks ago of John Cena winning that title from Mysterio at Survivor Series and defending against Gunther in his retirement match,” Meltzer wrote.

    The Intercontinental Championship will be on the line at Saturday Night’s Main Event in a Triple Threat match, with Mysterio defending against Penta and Rusev. The event takes place in Salt Lake City and streams exclusively on Peacock.

    Survivor Series: WarGames is scheduled for November 29, 2025, at Petco Park in San Diego, California. The event will mark John Cena’s final appearance at a Survivor Series event as an in-ring performer. No matches have been officially announced for the show, other than at least one War Games match.

    John Cena and Dominik Mysterio

    John Cena has repeatedly shown a deep respect for Dominik Mysterio’s talent and potential, especially in recent interviews. On the April 21, 2025 episode of The Pat McAfee Show, Cena praised Dominik as someone who was “born for this,” saying he “makes everything effortless and doesn’t crack under pressure.” Cena emphasized that Dominik has excelled in every challenge WWE has thrown at him and predicted a bright future: “We aren’t even close to what that kid’s capable of… He will be the most famous Mysterio in professional wrestling” 

    Cena’s comments reflect genuine admiration and set up Dominik as both a credible rival and potential torch-bearer for the next era.?

    Mysterio, however, has embraced a sharply antagonistic tone towards Cena, often mixing disrespect with backhanded respect—playing perfectly into his heel persona.

    In several recent interviews, Dominik has dismissed Cena as nothing more than an “old geezer” and made it clear he’d welcome the chance to end Cena’s career.

    During an interview with Tony Free Dominik quipped, “If John Cena wants some, he can come get some… If that old geezer wants me to put a final nail in his coffin, I’ll be more than happy to. That’s what I’m here for.”

    He’s also labeled Cena as “past his prime” and indicated he isn’t intimidated, saying Cena’s legacy ends with him.

    This verbal jousting has added authenticity and energy to their ongoing storyline, with Dominik determined to establish himself over the “GOAT” John Cena while Cena offers both high praise and subtle challenges to the young star.?

  • SmackDown Preview: Rhodes & McIntyre Appear, Bliss vs. Jax

  • Logan Paul Reacts to Federal Judge Dismissing CryptoZoo Lawsuit

    A federal judge has ended Logan Paul’s latest legal saga, officially dismissing the class action lawsuit tied to his CryptoZoo NFT project.

    The class action, brought by investors who claimed Paul and his team had misled users and “rug-pulled” the ambitious CryptoZoo game in 2021, was first thrown out in August. This week, SEScoops can confirm the dismissal was reaffirmed by a district judge, bringing the case to a close. On Thursday, he took a victory lap on social media.

    The CryptoZoo project promised fans the ability to breed and trade “virtual animals” for profit, but the concept failed to deliver, leading to accusations of fraud. Plaintiffs struggled to connect Logan Paul directly to their financial losses, which both a magistrate and district judge agreed was grounds for dismissal.

    Paul’s attorney, Jeff Neiman, praised the outcome to TMZ: “The district judge reaffirmed that ruling, holding once again that no reasonable juror could find Logan’s statements misleading or fraudulent.”

    Logan Paul received word of the lawsuit’s dismissal on his wedding day, offering some unexpected honeymoon peace as he celebrated his marriage to Nina Agdal in Lake Como this August.

    Paul remains committed to WWE, having retired from boxing to focus on his wrestling career, and although he\’s currently absent from television following his high-profile match at Clash in Paris, he is waiting for his next call from Triple H and is expected to remain with WWE for the foreseeable future.
