  • Jazmyn Nyx Open To WWE Return, Leaving Was A Hard Decision

    Jazmyn Nyx recently finished her time with WWE NXT, but the Fatal Influence alum isn\’t counting out a return to the promotion. On her Snapchat Stories, Nyx was asked if she\’d be open to going back to WWE if a better offer was made.

    \”100% I would. It was a really hard decision for me and I didn\’t want my experience to end. I loved wrestling and had so much fun training and learning for [from] the best.\”

    Nyx turned down a contract offer from WWE, according to PW Insider. Prior to her exit, she had been a regular on programming as part fo Fatal Influence alongside Fallon Henley and NXT Women\’s Champion Jacy Jayne. While Nyx hasn\’t shared details on her WWE contract, she has insinuated that she was making below $80,000 a year on her previous deal.

    Whether Nyx returns to WWE, time will tell, but fans know to never count out a return to WWE. From Cody Rhodes in 2022 to CM Punk at Survivor Series 2023, WWE has hosted its fair share of stunning returns in recent years.

    As for Nyx, her final match for WWE came at the NXT Homecoming, where Fatal Influence lost to Lyra Valkyrie, Rhea Ripley, and Stephanie Vaquer. It remains to be seen if Nyx will ever step within a WWE ring once more, but she won\’t rule the idea out.

  • Ricky Saints Reflects On Journey After WWE NXT Title Win

    Ricky Saints is ready to usher in an \’Absolute Era\’ following his NXT Championship victory at NXT No Mercy. In the main event, Saints countered Oba’s signature Fall From Grace twice—finishing the match with back-to-back DDTs for the win.

    Backstage, Saints reflected on his journey to this moment. The new WWE NXT Champion was grateful for all those who\’ve supported him before declaring the start of a new era.

    “What a wild ride so far. And I’m not one to be a loss for words, but tonight’s different. It’s very, very special. Tonight is a culmination of things that I didn’t think was possible, but I made it so. And not just me. People supported me. People believed in me. Fans, everybody. And now the absolute era truly begins.”

    Saints\’ journey saw him spend close to five years with AEW before debuting for WWE in February of this year. Saints\’ final year with AEW saw him go unused on TV, with his final match for the promotion occurring in March 2024.

    Femi\’s reign ends at 263 days, making him the seventh-longest reigning WWE NXT Champion in the history of the brand. Now, all eyes are now on Saints, who must prove this win is truly the start of a new era for his career.

  • Title Change At TNA Impact Tapings In Edmonton (Spoilers)

    A major title change took place during the September 27, tapings of TNA Impact which took place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. During the taping, The IInspiration (Cassie Lee & Jessica McKay) won the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Titles from The Elegance Brand (Heather By Elegance & M By Elegance).

    This title match was supposed to happen at TNA Victory Road before being moved to Impact. The title change comes after Ash by Elegance relinquished the TNA Knockouts Title. WWE NXT Superstar Kelani Jordan would later win the gold, meaning both the TNA and TNA Knockouts Titles are now held by NXT names.

    https://twitter.com/IInspiracool/status/1972146793883537761

    This kicks off the second reign for The IInspiration, who competed as The IIconics in WWE. The Australian duo first won the gold at Bound For Glory 2021 and held the titles for 133 days before losing to The Influence (Madison Rayne & Tenille Dashwood) at Sacrifice in March 2022.

    With The IInspiration being part of TNA\’s recent invasion of WWE NXT, fans may soon see the Knockouts Tag Team Titles on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest from TNA and NXT as both sides continue to build to their InVasion event.

  • Match Called Off After NXT Star Suffers Injury At TNA Tapings

    A WWE NXT Superstar who competed as part of the latest tapings of TNA Impact is believed to have suffered an injury during his match. During the September 27, tapings in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Ridge Holland battled Moose in a meeting of two of the biggest powerhouses of their respective brands.

    During the match, Holland landed awkwardly on his leg, according to fans in attendance. The match was called off by the referee and Moose was awarded the victory. Moose and the referee helped Holland to the back and the former NXT Tag Team Champion was unable to put any weight on his foot.

    If Holland is injured, it won\’t be his first time on the shelf. In October 2020, Holland suffered a left ankle fracture-dislocation and a left patellar tendon rupture with patellar dislocation during a match with Danny Burch. After a nine-month absence, Holland would return in July 2021.

    Holland\’s injury will take him out of WWE NXT, as well as any future plans as part of the TNA-NXT Invasion storyline. Holland has also been competing on WWE Evolve, meaning the promotion\’s newest brand would also lose one of its biggest names.

    Holland\’s setback demonstrates how injuries can happen at any time when a wrestler sets foot in the ring. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on his situation.

  • Alexa Bliss & The Undertaker Coming to Call of Duty: Mobile

    Alexa Bliss and WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker are coming to the world of Call of Duty: Mobile as part of a new cross-promotional campaign with WWE. On social media, Call of Duty: Mobile shared that the duo will take center stage in the game on Wednesday, October 1.

    This isn\’t the first time WWE has allowed its talent in non-WWE video games. In 2023, Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair were added to Fortnite, a game that has also seen John Cena and The Rock involved. A year earlier, The Undertaker, Asuka, and Xavier Woods were all in-game costumes in Fall Guys.

    Back in the world of WWE gaming, Bliss and The Undertaker continue to be regulars in the WWE 2K franchise. Including the Deadman Edition of WWE 2K25, The Undertaker has been on the cover of 18 WWE video games, an honor Bliss has yet to reach.

    Now, fans and gamers alike can look forward to Bliss and the Phenom being part of the world of Call of Duty: Mobile. Their role in the game proves how the popularity of the pair is able to extend far beyond the squared circle.

  • Naomi Shares Sonogram, Still Getting Kicked Outside WWE

    Naomi won\’t be competing in WWE for several more months, but that hasn\’t stopped the Raw Superstar from taking a kicking. The former WWE Women’s World Champion took to social media to update fans on her pregnancy, posting a sonogram video. Naomi appreciated the irony of her active child-to-be, adding that “Being out of in-ring action and still getting kicked is crazy.\”

    Naomi\’s pregnancy forced her to vacate the WWE Women\’s World Championship, a title she captured at WWE Evolution in July 2025. In the days prior to her reveal, Naomi was abruptly pulled from in-ring action, leaving many to speculate that a baby was on the way.

    Naomi plans on returning to the very top of WWE when she can come back, and also has eyes on working with AJ Lee again. For now, the former Women\’s World Champion\’s child is proving that they can throw kicks like so many members of their wrestling family.

  • IYO SKY In Action After WWE SmackDown In Orlando

    The excitement didn\’t stop at WWE SmackDown in Orlando\’s Kia Center after the show went off the air. In a dark match for the live crowd, IYO SKY picked up a hard-fought victory over The Judgment Day\’s Roxanne Perez.

    This win was a much-needed victory for SKY who was betrayed by Asuka during the previous episode of Monday Night Raw. SKY also came up short at WWE Wrestlepalooza, where she faced Stephanie Vaquer for the vacant Women\’s World Championship.

    As for Perez, she and Raquel Rodriguez continue to pursue the Women\’s Tag Team Championships. The duo are the only currently active members of the Judgment Day without gold as JD McDonagh and Finn Balor hold the World Tag Team Titles while Dominik Mysterio is a double champion. Perez will also have to be wary about Liv Morgan who had her issues with The Prodigy prior to her injury earlier this year.

    This dark match demonstrated the skills of the two former NXT Women\’s Champions and allowed the fans to leave the Kia Center on a high. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest from WWE both on and off-screen.

  • Asuka: IYO SKY Betrayed Me, She\’s A Loser & A Traitor!

    Asuka betrayed IYO SKY during the September 22, episode of WWE Monday Night Raw, but that\’s not how the Empress of Tomorrow sees things. While Asuka delivered a painful kick to SKY moments after delivering the mist to Rhea Ripley, Asuka believes that she is the one who was betrayed.

    Taking to her YouTube channel, Asuka addressed her actions on Monday Night Raw. Despite a video after Raw showing SKY breaking down in tears after being attacked, Asuka argued that SKY isn\’t the one who should feel hurt.

    \”You. Are. Such. An. Idiot! I saw you crying. You betrayed me. You\’re the one who betrayed me! Don\’t play victim, I\’m the victim! Don\’t you dare play victim… You\’re a traitor!\”

    The issues between SKY and Asuka have been simmering for weeks. At WWE Wrestlepalooza, SKY failed to regain the Women\’s World Championship after turning down help from Asuka and Kairi Sane.

    \”You LOST to Stephanie! I told you. Me and Kairi would help you become champion but you said no. That\’s why you lost. You were such a loser! You\’re a loser, you\’re a loser!\”

    With the long-standing friendship of Asuka and SKY in the past, the pair will be at eachother\’s throats moving forward. With Kairi Sane clearly conflicted as Raw went off the air, it remains to be seen where her allegiances will rest in this high-profile feud.

  • WWE NXT Star Set For X-Division Title Shot At TNA Bound for Glory

    The TNA X-Division Championship will be on the line at Bound for Glory when Leon Slater puts the gold on the line against one of WWE\’s brightest prospects. At Bound for Glory, which will take place October 12, in Lowell, Massachusetts, Slater will put the gold on the line against Je\’Von Evans.

    This match was confirmed at TNA Victory Road following Slater\’s victory over Myron Reed. With TNA President Carlos Silva and the Director of Authority Santino Marella present, a video played confirming that Evans will challenge for the gold.

    WWE NXT is already home to the TNA World Championship, currently held by Trick Williams. At Victory Road, NXT also captured the TNA Knockouts Championship as Kelani Jordan won the gold. The title was vacated by Ash By Elegance, ending her reign that had begun with her taking the title from NXT\’s Jacy Jayne.

    Evans had an impressive performance on WWE SmackDown where he challenged U.S. Champion Sami Zayn. Though the Young OG came up short, he remains confident that he can capture the X-Division Championship.

    As for Slater, the British star is the youngest-ever TNA X-Division Champion and has been endorsed by the inaugural champion, AJ Styles. Fans can expect a high-flying effort from both men at TNA Bound for Glory.

  • Penta: I Know A Lucha Bros. Reunion Will Happen in WWE

    Before WWE, Penta and Rey Fenix dominated tag-team divisions worldwide as the Lucha Bros. While the pair have been kept apart since both arrived in WWE in early 2025, Penta is confident that a reunion is coming.

    Speaking to the In The Kliq podcast, Penta addressed possibly teaming with his brother down the line. For Penta, who has been a hit as a singles star since debuting in January, a reunion isn\’t a question of if, but when.

    “I know one day, when the Lucha Brothers return, the world will explode... When? I don’t know. How? I don’t know, but I’m sure of it, I feel it in my heart.”

    Together, the Lucha Bros. have held tag team gold in AEW, TNA, MLW, ROH, PWG, and beyond. But now, Penta is ready to work with Fenix in the biggest promotion of them all.

    “Imagine this, the best tag-team in the universe returns in the best company in the universe.”

    For now, the pair remains separated across brands, with Penta impressing on Raw while Rey Fenix continues to find his place on SmackDown. But with Rey\’s recent tag-team partner Andrade parting ways with WWE, a Lucha Bros reunion could be coming sooner than later.

  • Sol Ruca & Zaria Put Friendship to the Test in WWE NXT Quiz

    Zaria and Sol Ruca have proven to be an impressive duo in WWE NXT, but how well do the pair know each other outside of the ring? On social media, the pair recently took part in a \’How Well Do You Know Each Other?\’ quiz with some interesting results.

    The pair agreed that Zaria would over-indulge at a restaurant, and make a joke at a bad time. Zaria is also more likely to hurt herself doing something stupid and embarrass herself in front of a wrestling crowd. As for Ruca, the pair agreed that out of the two, she\’d spend too much money on clothes, be more likely to appear on Love Island, and would also be more likely to win a reality show.

    The pair, known affectionately by fans as ZaRuca, didn\’t agree on everything. When asked who\’d be more likely to get a driving ticket, Ruca and Zaria both picked themselves. The pair both believed that they had the better chance of surviving a haunted house.

    Sol Ruca and Zaria both believed that the other would be willing to lie about their birthday for free cake at a restaurant. Thinking highly of one another, the pair believed that the other would have the better chance of becoming a successful private detective.

    While the pair have their share of agreements and disagreements, ZaRuca have proven to be dominant on WWE NXT programming. With Ruca already a double champion as Women\’s North American Champion and WWE Speed Women\’s Champion, time will tell when Zaria goes for gold of her own.

  • Mr. Anderson Triumphs In First TNA Wrestling Match In 9 Years

    Mr. Anderson has made his return to the ring in TNA Wrestling, close to a decade after his previous match with the promotion. During the go-home episode of TNA Impact before Victory Road, Anderson teamed up with Steve Maclin in tag team action and picked up a victory over Jake Something and Frankie Kazarian.

    While Anderson was part of the previous week\’s episode of Impact, this was his first match with TNA Wrestling since 2016. Before this tag-team victory, his previous TNA match saw him earn a disqualification victory over Eric Young. This week\’s match was also only Anderson\’s second match in any promotion since 2022. He made his in-ring return this past July for Battleground Championship Wrestling.

    Anderson joined TNA in 2010 after four years on WWE as Mr. Kennedy and is a two-time former TNA World Champion. During his tenure, he was part of some of TNA\’s highest-profile storylines, including being involved with Immortal and also being a high-ranking member of Aces and Eights.

    While Anderson had said that his return in early September was a one-off, it appears that TNA plans on keeping him around. It remains to be seen what\’s next for the former Mr. Money in the Bank, but don\’t count out more matches from the Green Bay loudmouth.

  • IYO SKY Confirmed For Non WWE Match Against Mayu Iwatani

    IYO SKY will compete outside WWE this October, as part of Marigold Wrestling\’s Grand Destiny 2025 at Ryogoku Kokugian in Tokyo, Japan. In a video, SKY shared that she\’ll be part of the event where she will take on Mayu Iwatani.

    “Marigold fans, long time, no see. It’s WWE Superstar IYO SKY. So why am I here? There’s one reason. Mayu Iwatani! Over the past few years, when you and I didn’t meet, we’ve each walked such wonderful paths. Let’s speak to our hearts’ content and tell our story inside of the ring. October 26 at Marigold’s Ryogoku Kokugikan show, Mayu Iwatani vs. IYO SKY is official! Hey Mayu, let’s shock the world with an amazing match we’ll have. See you soon!”

    The match will be SKY\’s second appearance for Marigold. The former WWE Women\’s World Champion was part of a Marigold show last year, where she faced Utami Hayashishita. The match was SKY\’s first non-WWE match since signing with the promotion in 2018.

    SKY and Iwatani wrestled several times in STARDOM before IYO joined WWE. In 2017, the pair battled for the World of STARDOM Championship at that year\’s Galaxy Stars event, where Iwatani emerged on top. SKY\’s final STARDOM match saw herself and Iwatani team up to battle Hazuki and Kagetsu.

    Now, SKY has the chance to prove herself outside WWE. Marigold Wrestling\’s Grand Destiny 2025 will take place on October 26.

  • The Miz: Concussion Has Cost Me Memories Of WrestleMania Main Event

    The Miz headlined WrestleMania for the first (and so far only) time in 2011, facing John Cena in a match many expected would end with a Cena victory. Instead, The Miz defeated WWE’s “GOAT” in one of the biggest wins of his career—a victory he struggles to recall.

    During the match, The Miz suffered a concussion after hitting his head on the outside. Speaking to Adrian Hernandez of Unlikely, The Miz admitted that much of his memory of the main event is gone.

    \”Pieces. I remember bits and pieces of it, which sucks because it\’s one of those moments you want to remember. That\’s what you work towards your entire life. And I can\’t remember it. I remember blips.\”

    With his sole WrestleMania main event lost to him, The Miz instead reflects on other moments as career highlights. For the A-Lister, nothing compares to sharing the spotlight with his wife, Maryse.

    \”Not many people get to actually do what Maryse and I got to do, which is walk down the aisle in our wedding and walk down the aisle in our career at the biggest stage of all, WrestleMania. That was a really cool moment.\”

    The Miz also cherishes his family’s involvement in his career. He recalled his father George Mizanin’s appearance at WrestleMania 35, when George confronted Shane McMahon during Shane’s Falls Count Anywhere match with The Miz.

    With more than two decades on WWE television, The Miz has built a career full of highlights. While his WrestleMania 27 win over Cena remains memorable for unfortunate reasons, the veteran continues to stand as one of WWE’s most enduring success stories.

  • Why Charles Robinson Plans On Refereeing Into His 70s

    Charles Robinson has served as a wrestling referee for decades and is now WWE’s most senior official in the ring. At 61, he is often the oldest person on the mat at WWE events, but don’t expect him to hang up his stripes anytime soon.

    Speaking with Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Robinson reflected on his lengthy career as an official. When asked if he could keep going forever, he explained, “I need at least five [or] six more years in the ring.” In an ideal world, Robinson would surpass that, adding that he’d love to referee for another ten years.

    Robinson hopes to still be calling matches as a septuagenarian. When asked if he believes he could referee into his 70s, he was optimistic, telling listeners, “I think so. I take care of myself.”

    Though best known as a referee, Robinson has stepped into the ring as a competitor on occasion. He wrestled a handful of matches in WCW and, years later, famously lost to The Great Khali on SmackDown in 2008.

    Throughout his career, Robinson has dedicated his life to professional wrestling and taken his fair share of “ref bumps” along the way. Now in his 60s, the man dubbed “Lil Naitch” is determined to prove that age is just a number.

  • Randy Orton\’s Wife Slams WWE Over Superstar Being Snubbed From Major Shows

    Randy Orton may be one of the biggest names in WWE history, but the former World Champion was absent from the recent Wrestlepalooza event. WWE\’s debut show under its new deal with ESPN came and went without the Viper, continuing a trend of his absence from several high-profile occasions.

    On Instagram, a frustrated fan pointed out how WWE has left Orton out of major milestones and events, including RAW’s 25th Anniversary, SmackDown’s 25th Anniversary, and RAW\’s Netflix debut in January 2025. The fan described these omissions as \”DISRESPECT AFTER DISRESPECT\” toward the 14-time WWE World Champion.

    This sentiment drew a response from Kim Orton, Randy\’s wife, who shared similar frustrations about her husband being overlooked. Replying to the fan, Kim wrote, \”You ain\’t wrong.\”

    The subject of Orton’s limited presence was also discussed by his Evolution ally Ric Flair. Speaking with eScapist Magazine in September 2025, Flair said Orton was \”really underutilized these days.\” While unsure of the reason, Flair speculated that \”maybe he\’s made somebody mad along the way.\”

    Despite holding the record for the most WWE PLE matches, Orton’s appearances at major events have become increasingly rare. For now, the Viper remains on standby, waiting for WWE to give him another opportunity.

  • MJF Announces AEW Hiatus

    MJF will be taking a break from AEW, but has vowed to return more dangerous and more driven than ever before. During a promo recorded after All Out that aired on Dynamite, MJF shared that he didn\’t feel like himself anymore. MJF highlighted his recent losses to \’Hangman\’ Adam Page and Mark Briscoe, before saying he would be going away.

    MJF declared that he won\’t be back until he could look in the mirror and not see the face of a fraud. Speaking about his eventual return, MJF promised to be more dangerous when he\’s back and take his place back at the top of AEW.

    MJF isn\’t the only notable name who\’ll be vanishing from AEW programming. During Dynamite, Adam Copeland shared that he \”has to go\” and is unsure when, if ever, he will be back in AEW. All Out saw Copeland\’s wife Beth make her AEW debut. Though Copeland and Christian Cage beat FTR in Toronto, their celebration was cut short when The Matriarchy attacked them and Beth after the match.

    With MJF and Copeland both set to vanish from AEW TV, it remains to be seen who will step up and fill the spot left by the duo of former World Champions. For now, fans shouldn\’t expect MJF on TV, though a more violent side is in store when the \’Salt of the Earth\’ makes his return.

  • Killer Kross\’ Blue Evening Film Nominated For Multiple Awards

    Former WWE Superstar Killer Kross is proving himself outside of the ring with a new film that has already received multiple award nominations. On X, Kross shared that his film \’Blue Evening\’ will be screening at the Burbank International Film Festival. Kross shared that he\’ll be in attendance for the screening alongside Writer/Director Jett Jansen Fernandez and Producer Cory DeMeyers.

    Kross also confirmed that Blue Evening will be shown at the Billy the Kid Film Fest in Texas and the Red Brick Road Film Fest in Oklahoma. The film has earned nominations for Best Worldwide Short Film, Best Director, Best Cinematographer, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor.

    The story follows a homeless addict who, in a last-ditch attempt to turn his life around, discovers a lost masterpiece in a thrift store. This chance encounter sets him on a desperate journey of redemption, survival, and self-discovery.

    The film features an impressive cast, including Kross. Alongside the former WWE NXT Champion, there is Gustavo Ramirez (The Oval, Grey\’s Anatomy), Sari Sanchez (Signature Move, NCIS, Power, Empire), Sammy Horowitz & Adam Pasen (Power Book IV : Force).

    Kross, known as Karrion Kross in WWE, finished his time with the promotion in August after the two sides failed to come to terms over a new contract. Since then, Kross and his wife Scarlett have hit the independent circuit, and will make their House of Glory debut on October 10.

    For Kross, the film marks a chance to showcase a different side of his artistry beyond professional wrestling. Between an award-nominated short film and an upcoming memoir, Kross is establishing himself as a multifaceted performer inside and outside the ring.

  • WWE Evolve\’s First Succession Special To See Double Title Matches

    WWE Evolve will soon host its first \’Succession\’ special, in the latest development for WWE\’s newest brand. In a video shared on social media, Evolve General Manager Stevie Turner officially revealed WWE Evolve: Succession—a special edition of Evolve airing Wednesday, October 15, 2025, exclusively on Tubi TV.

    The event will feature both the Men’s and Women’s Evolution Championships defended on the same night. Challengers for both titles, currently held by Jackson Drake and Kali Armstrong respectively, will be decided over the next few weeks.

    The timing of this announcement came as AEW revealed its own major news: the introduction of Women’s Tag Team Championships. Given that the two promotions recently clashed when WWE’s WrestlePalooza aired on the same day as AEW’s All Out: Toronto it\’s clear that neither side is ready to give up on this head-to-head battle.

    WWE Evolve premiered in March of this year, and also includes Peter Roseburg and Robert Stone as the brand\’s commentary team. With both Evolution titles in play, Succession could mark a turning point for the brand, setting the stage for new rivalries and future champions.

  • Masha Slamovich On Domestic Violence Allegations: We Hurt Each Other

    Masha Slamovich has been accused of being abusive during her past relationship with independent wrestler Akira, in a concerning development for the TNA star. After being removed from multiple events, Slamovich has shared her one and only statement on the matter.

    Without going into specifics, she described her past relationship with AKIRA as “toxic and mutually destructive,” admitting to personal failures and expressing regret. Slamovich added that she has since sought help and is working towards a healthier way of handling conflict.

    This controversy came about after a friend of AKIRA’s shared a collection of alleged screenshots, images, and messages between Akira and Slamovich. The material reportedly includes photos suggesting physical abuse and a pattern of troubling behavior.

    A page on TNA\’s website hyping her Knockouts Title match at TNA Victory Road has been removed, leaving many to suspect that she will not be competing at the event. Slamovich was also absent from TNA\’s invasion of WWE NXT, though Fightful Select has shared that she was never planned for the show and was out of the country at the time.

    TNA is investigating the claims against Slamovich, who last competed for the promotion during the September 5, taping of TNA iMPACT. For now, Masha\’s future with the promotion and the wider wrestling world remains uncertain.

  • TNA Removes Victory Road Title Match Amid Masha Slamovich Domestic Violence Investigation

    TNA Wrestling star Masha Slamovich is facing accusations of domestic violence of her former partner, AKIRA, in a situation the promotion is now investigating. The controversy has already impacted Slamovich’s career, with her upcoming plans in TNA seemingly nixed.

    At TNA Victory Road on September 26, Slamovich was scheduled to challenge Knockouts Champion Ash By Elegance. However, fans visiting TNA’s official article promoting the match are now met with an “Error 404: Not Found” message. The removal of the coverage has led many to believe that the title match is officially off.

    Slamovich’s challenges extend beyond TNA. She was also dropped from Prestige Wrestling’s Roseland XII card, where she was originally set to face Shayna Baszler. Instead, fellow TNA Knockout Dani Luna will step in for the match at the October show.

    The controversy draws comparisons to 2020, when former Knockouts star Tessa Blanchard faced allegations of bullying and racist behavior. Despite the backlash, TNA crowned Blanchard its first female World Champion, a decision that earned both TNA and Blanchard heavy criticism.

    Slamovich, a former Knockouts Champion herself, now faces an uncertain future in TNA. With her match seemingly scrapped and her absence from TNA’s ongoing invasion of WWE NXT, signs suggest she may be sidelined from the promotion for the foreseeable future.

  • Tiffany Stratton Reveals Story Behind Barbie-Themed WrestleMania Entrance

    WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton made a memorable first impression at her WrestleMania debut earlier this year. Embracing her “Buff Barbie” persona, Stratton entered the stadium with a Barbie-inspired entrance, stepping out of a life-sized replica doll box with other boxes featuring videos of her in Barbie-esque costumes.

    Speaking to Scott Johnson for Going Ringside, Stratton revealed that the idea had been in the works for years.

    \”So back in NXT, I had actually pitched this idea to come out of a Barbie box. However, I think with trademarking and stuff like that, it wasn\’t going to really work out.\”

    Plans shifted when Mattel reached out to WWE ahead of WrestleMania, helping bring Stratton’s vision to life. For the Women’s Champion, finally realizing the entrance she had imagined was worth the wait.

    \”It was like a dream come true for me… So to have it debut at WrestleMania, my first WrestleMania, was just such an amazing opportunity and I wouldn\’t have been able to do it without Triple H and Mattel.\”

    The moment wasn’t just about the spectacle as Stratton went on to score a career-defining victory over Charlotte Flair, the most decorated women in WWE history. With a dream entrance and a marquee win, WrestleMania 41 will remain a milestone Stratton remembers for years to come.

  • The Undertaker Defends Michelle McCool’s Role on Six Feet Under Podcast

    WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker has addressed criticism of his Six Feet Under podcast following the addition of his wife, Michelle McCool, as co-host. On the latest episode, the Deadman pushed back at fans who claim McCool’s involvement has hurt the show’s quality.

    \”Look, this is where we’re at. This is the direction I wanted to take the show.\”

    For years, The Undertaker co-hosted the podcast with Matthew Lyda, who was removed after WWE acquired Six Feet Under. Despite fan backlash toward McCool, The Undertaker made it clear he isn’t letting negativity affect his passion for the project.

    \”Whether you like it or don’t like it, I do this, we do this for fun. And if you get entertained then be entertained, if you’re not entertained you don’t like it, this is America and you get to do whatever you want.\”

    McCool’s involvement extends beyond the podcast. She was also added to the second season of WWE LFG, reportedly at The Undertaker’s request. Her addition came as Mickie James was cut from the show, fueling speculation that James was removed to make room for McCool.

    Closing out his remarks, The Undertaker urged listeners to embrace the new direction of the show, telling them, \”Relax and enjoy the ride.\” While some fans may prefer the old format, The Undertaker is focused on the future — with his wife by his side.


  • Tiffany Stratton Clears The Air On Injury Ahead Of Title Match

    Tiffany Stratton suffered a rough landing during her match against Jade Cargill on the September 12 episode of WWE SmackDown. The incident forced Stratton out of a scheduled match at WWE NXT Homecoming, raising concerns about the future of the WWE Women’s Champion.

    Speaking with Scott Johnson for Going Ringside, Stratton provided an update on her condition. The “Buff Barbie” reassured fans that she is physically fine despite what she called “a bit of a rough landing.” She explained that her removal from NXT homecoming was \”precautionary\” and that WWE were simply seeing if anything was wrong with her after the rough landing.

    Stratton’s comments come as she prepares to defend her WWE Women’s Championship against Nia Jax and Cargill on SmackDown. The high-stakes match will also decide who challenges newly crowned WWE Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer for the Crown Jewel Women\’s Title next month at WWE Crown Jewel in Perth.

    Fortunately for fans, Stratton’s setback is not expected to derail her career or her title reign. Instead, she is set to continue what has already been a standout 2025, with another marquee match on the horizon.

    While it will only be Sky and Love being inducted, they aren\’t the only wrestlers to have been part of the Beautiful People. Past members include Madison Rayne, Lacey Von Erich and Cute Kip, better known to fans as Billy Gunn.

    The vain faction vowed to cleanse the TNA roster \”one ugly person at a time.\” In TNA, Love is a six-time Knockouts Champion, a title Sky held twice. The group also held the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Titles, often defending the gold with other members via the \’Freebird Rule.\’

    Now, Angelina Love and Velvet Sky will join Sting, Kurt Angle, Raven, Rhino, Abyss, and others as WWE Hall of Famers. TNA Bound for Glory will take place on October 12, at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts.
