  • Damian Priest and Lola Vice Fuel Dating Rumors at Bad Bunny Concert

    Damian Priest and Lola Vice just added serious fuel to the dating rumors after being spotted attending a Bad Bunny concert. On July 19, the pair were sighted at the concert, reportedly to celebrate her 27th birthday in style. Bad Bunny himself introduced them before the show, making their appearance very public.

    This appearance comes just days after Priest was asked directly about Vice during an interview on Good Morning New York. When questioned about their recent outing at a Yankees game, he dodged the topic with a smirk.

    “Oh, well, I don’t know about all that. No comment, no comment.”

    Rumors first sprouted when the pair attended a baseball game together, with fans speculating if this was more than just a platonic hangout of WWE colleagues. While Priest won\’t confirm or deny the claims of a relationship, the signs are becoming harder to ignore.

    Now, following their joint appearance at a high-profile concert—complete with a public acknowledgment from one of the biggest artists in the world—it seems the rumored relationship might be less private than they’re letting on.

  • I\’m Done! Roman Reigns Denies 6th Child Rumors

    Roman Reigns may be the Tribal Chief of his family, but the OTC hasn\’t welcomed a new child into the world. Recently, it was reported that Reigns and his wife had welcomed another child. In a backstage video, Reigns made clear that his days of becoming a new father are over.

    “They’re trying to say I was trying to catch up to Jacob [Fatu]? Five and done. I’ve done my job. I procreate. No more. Damn kids.”

    Fatu has seven children, a number Reigns has no plans on meeting and certainly doesn\’t plan on surpassing. During the video, Reigns also offered a glimpse into the chaos he’s juggling at home, quipping that his time away from WWE is rarely peaceful.

    \”They ask me, ‘How’s vacation?’ I say, ‘There’s no vacation. There was school till June and then tutoring.’\”

    Reigns made it clear though that he\’s not unsatisfied despite being busy, telling fans \”Don’t feel bad for me. Don’t ever feel bad for me.\” For Reigns, having his five children is a joy and a privilege, though he has no plans to add any more names to the Bloodline.

  • Ex-WWE/TNA Exec Joins Hulk Hogan\’s RAF Wrestling

    David Sahadi, renowned for his groundbreaking production work with WWE and TNA Wrestling, is officially joining the creative team behind Real American Freestyle Wrestling. Sahadi confirmed the news on his live podcast Behind The Lens, revealing that he had been talking with Eric Bischoff since May 2025.

    \”When Eric first called and described his vision for how he wanted to present freestyle wrestling to a bigger audience, I was enthralled. I truly believe Eric’s vision will appeal to not only the purist of freestyle fans, but a mainstream audience as well.\”

    Sahadi\’s move from WWE and TNA to RAF Wrestling marks a serious change in terms of size. Nevertheless, he feels that what RAF may lack in size, it makes up for in quality.

    \”We have assembled the greatest production team in combat fights to present civilization’s oldest sport in a unique, modern and creative way.\”

    Sahadi was with WWE for decades, and was one of many soldiers backstage during the Monday Night Wars. Sahadi admits it is ironic to now be working with the man who tried to put him out of a job.

    \”Eric Bischoff was breaking new ground with WCW Nitro and kicking our asses in the ratings, he was perceived as ‘the evil one,’ the enemy. Now I have the privilege of working with Eric.\”

    Sahadi\’s involvement comes after it was confirmed that Kurt Angle will be joining RAF. Time will tell if the new promotion, run by Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan, succeeds in its aim to redefine freestyle wrestling for a broader audience.

  • Adam Sandler Praises Fake Son MJF Ahead Of Happy Gilmore 2

    Adam Sandler has opened up about what it was like working with MJF on Happy Gilmore 2, and the AEW star left a lasting impression. In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, Sandler spoke highly of MJF, who plays one of Gilmore\’s children in the new film.

    \”Funny as hell. What a great kid. Love him. Family member. I was a little concerned when halfway through he was going to fight.\”

    Sandler didn\’t name what match of MJF\’s interrupted his filming schedule, but the AEW star returned bruised. While some of the marks were easy to cover, others weren’t so easy to hide.

    \”There were some bruises you can cover, and then there were some extra bruises. That kid is jacked and he’s a stud. ’m happy to say he’s my fake son forever. I’m proud of my fake son. I love my fake son.\”

    MJF\’s role has become one of the most talked-about aspects of the film ahead of its July 25, 2025 release. With his natural charisma and acting chops, fans are eager to see how the AEW star shines on the big screen.

    Whether it’s in the ring or on camera, MJF continues to prove he’s a force to be reckoned with—both as a performer and, now, as Adam Sandler’s “fake son.”



  • Update On Jesse Ventura\’s WWE Saturday Night\’s Main Event Role

    Jesse \’The Body\’ Ventura was part of the latest WWE Saturday Night\’s Main Event, but his role was far smaller than what fans had expected. Instead of commentating as seen in previous SNME shows, Ventura was part of an opening skit with Joe Tessitore and wasn\’t used after that.

    Fans should expect to see less of Ventura going forward, according to a report from Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Ventura\’s commentary role at the May 2025 edition of Saturday Night\’s Main Event was seen as a \”fiasco\” and “the call was made not to let him announce.\”

    Ventura\’s \”fiasco\” saw him serve on commentary in May during the steel cage match between Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest. During the match, Ventura criticized talent being able to win by leaving the cage, a long-standing rule of cage matches. Declaring on the show \”what kind of BS is that?!\” Ventura\’s criticism of WWE\’s presentation has affected his role going forward.

    Whether in wrestling or politics, Ventura has never kept quiet about his views. While fans can expect \’The Body\’ on WWE shows, don\’t expect him to be handed a live mic for too long.

  • Rob Van Dam: Celebrities Wrestling Is Always Offensive To Me

    While the likes of Logan Paul, Bad Bunny, and Johnny Knoxville have won over fans with their skills in the ring, Rob Van Dam is no fan of celebrity matches. On an episode of his podcast, 1 of a Kind with RVD, the ECW legend made his views perfectly clear.

    “For me, it’s always offensive. I take the perspective of… in order to have a celebrity take a spot on a wrestling card, everyone else has to work around them to make it look like anybody could do it.\”

    Van Dam said that not everybody can wrestle though acknowledged that Paul is \”so good,\” despite being relatively new to the business. Van Dam shared what it\’d take for a celebrity wanting to wrestle to win him over.

    \”If I can kick him in the mouth just like I kick Bubba Dudley or anybody else in the mouth, if they’re like, ‘Ok cool man, I really enjoyed that,’ maybe they’d win me over then.\”

    Van Dam\’s comments are somewhat ironic given that he recently teased forging a partnership with Logan Paul. Long before Paul was tearing things up in WWE, Van Dam had a taste of celebrity action in the original ECW.

    \”When Insane Clown Posse came to ECW, me and Sabu beat the shit out of them. We didn’t take it easy on them at all and I broke [Violent J’s] eardrum.\”

    At 54 years old, questions remains as to how many matches, if any, Van Dam has left. But should he wrestle again, don\’t expect him to work with the likes of Bunny, Paul, or Jelly Roll in the ring.

  • Nikki Bella Says Happy Gilmore 2 Will Surpass Original, Teases Twist

    Happy Gilmore 2 will land on Netflix later this month, and fans are in store for a major plot twist, according to Nikki Bella. Speaking with E! News, the WWE Hall of Famer opened up about her time on set, revealing she had a great time filming her role for the movie.

    \”The greatest thing ever. He [Adam Sandler] is absolutely amazing. This set was so much fun. I truly am—I mean, I’ve always believed laughter is the best medicine, but it really is.”

    Happy Gilmore 2 comes 30 years after the original film which remains a highlight of comedy movies. While the sequel has a tall order to rise to the original, Nikki believes Happy Gilmore 2 won\’t just be as good as the original, but surpass it.

    \”This is going to be even better than the first. And I’m not even saying that ’cause I’m a part of it, but we just could not stop crying, laughing on set. Adam just makes it really comfortable for everyone.\”

    Looking ahead to the film’s release, Nikki expressed her excitement for fans to see what’s in store, teasing a major twist that hasn’t been shown in the trailers.

    \”There is a massive part that people are going to be obsessed with. I think it’s so cool that they haven’t really teased it, because you’re going to watch and you’re going to go, ‘Oh, it’s going in this direction.\”

    In addition to Nikki Bella, Happy Gilmore 2 will also feature fellow wrestling stars MJF and Becky Lynch. With a cast full of big personalities and high expectations, fans will soon find out if the long-awaited sequel can deliver.

  • Injured Star Returns Before WWE SmackDown After A Year Out Of Action

    One WWE Superstar was finally able to make a return to the ring before the latest episode of SmackDown after being out with an injury for over a year. Kiana James makes her in-ring retun during the Main Event tapings where she battled Michin. Despite this being a big night for James, it was Michin who got the victory.

    James wasn\’t just kept to the WWE Main Event taping. On SmackDown, she was spotted by eagle-eyed fans in the background of a segment, speaking to Women’s United States Champion Giulia.

    James had been out of action since June 2024, when she suffered a leg injury. Prior to the Michin match, her most recent in-ring encounter saw IYO SKY beat James and Zelina Vega on WWE Raw.

    James was moved to Raw in the 2024 WWE Draft, but her injury has robbed her of the chance to develop on TV. It remains to be seen what\’s next for Kiana James after this long-awaited return.

  • James Gunn Reveals Why Dwayne Johnson\’s DC Plans Fell Apart

    For years, Dwayne Johnson teased his role as Black Adam, vowing that the hierarchy of the DC Comics cinematic universe was going to change. Unfortunately for WWE\’s Final Boss, the film did not perform as hoped at the box office and now, DC has moved away from their previous universe plans that saw Johnson on top.

    Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, DC Studios co-head James Gunn opened up about the circumstances that led to Johnson\’s exit from DC. According to Gunn, by the time Dwayne Johnson was pushing for a larger creative role, DC leadership already had different plans in motion.

    “There were other people [Johnson] that had a take on what they wanted to do at DC and were trying to force their way. And it just was never a part of the equation for David Zaslav, who was the head of WBD.”

    This interview comes after reports that a Black Adam sequel was quietly scrapped, largely due to the film’s underwhelming box office. While the film had once been considered a launching point for Johnson\’s long-term role in the DCU, its failure seemingly marked the end of his life in superhero films.

    Though Black Adam didn\’t perform, many are optimistic for the future of DC Comics on the big screen. 2022\’s The Batman starring Robert Pattinson proved to be a smash hit with fans appreciating the darker tone and compelling performances. The new Superman reboot under Gunn’s leadership has been well-received so far, suggesting the DCU may be on more stable footing moving forward.

    For Dwayne Johnson, his role as Black Adam appears to have been a one-off, despite big plans being in place for him to be a key part of the DC Universe.

  • Pro-Tetris Player Uses Steiner Math To Guarantee Dominant Win

    Scott Steiner\’s infamous \’Steiner Math\’ promo is iconic in the world of pro wrestling, and has now expanded beyond the squared circle. At this year\’s Classic Tetris World Championship (CWTC), champion Justin \”Fractal\” Yu channelled Big Poppa Pump to guarantee his victory.

    Yu certainly has the credentials to back up his bravado. The American is one of five CTWC competitors to reach the finals on multiple occassions. In 2023, he would the CWTC Championship, and has earned close to $40,000 from his total winnings.

    Steiner\’s promo came as part of the Sacrifice 2008 pay-per-view, in which he guaranteed victory in a triple threat match which would include Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle. Instead, Big Poppa Pump came up short, proving that even mathematics bows to the wills of the Olympian and the Samoan Submission Machine.

    While Steiner lost his match, his promo is infamous and has even been referenced by his nephew in WWE. Once again, the WWE Hall of Famer\’s promo has entertained fans.

  • John Cena Tries to Back Out of SummerSlam, Stipulation Added

    The July 18 episode of WWE SmackDown delivered a major development on the road to WWE SummerSlam, one that\’ll effect John Cena and Cody Rhodes. In the closing segment, the Undisputed WWE Champion and his challenger met in the ring for what was expected to be a routine contract signing, before a violent stipulation was announced.

    Cena entered the ring to deliver what he called “bad news.” Cena announced he would not be competing at SummerSlam, citing obligations to a major Netflix film project and feeling “emotionally exhausted.”

    “We all feel it is best that I don’t compete at SummerSlam.\”

    Cena offered alternatives like “Paris or Perth” for the rematch but was adamant he wouldn\’t be wrestling at SummerSlam, claiming his decision was \”best for business.\” Cody, visibly frustrated, demanded that Cena sign the contract. Cena refused, thanking Cody for understanding, but reiterating he wouldn’t sign.

    Rhodes chased Cena outside the ring and dragged him back. Cena responded by slamming Cody into the steel steps. But once they returned to the ring, Cody reversed a title shot attempt from Cena, grabbed the championship belt, and struck Cena with it.

    Cody then climbed the top rope, leaped onto Cena binder-in-hand, and forced him to sign the contract by placing the pen in his hand and guiding it to paper. With that dramatic moment, the match was made official—and Cody revealed it will be a street fight.

    WWE SummerSlam will take place on August 2 and 3 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, marking the first-ever two-night SummerSlam in WWE history.

  • WWE Employees Hit Hard By Severance Policy Changes (Report)

    WWE employees were handed a tough blow today as the company rolled out a new severance policy which is bad news for long-tenured staff. According to an internal memo sent out this afternoon, WWE has eliminated its previous severance package, which provided one month of pay for every year of service. Instead, the company will now follow TKO Group’s structure, offering just two weeks of severance pay per year of employment.

    PWInsider reports that the new policy also includes pay caps based on an employee’s management level, though the exact thresholds have not been disclosed. Nonetheless, the change has reportedly sent shockwaves through WWE’s corporate offices. Now, staff will have their severance packages effectively cut in half, in a major loss for employees.

    Sincew the launch of TKO Group Holdings, internal workloads have reportedly surged. Many employees are now juggling responsibilities across WWE, UFC, and PBR (Professional Bull Riders). Now, the revised severance term has left those under pressure feeling they have even less job security.

    For long-serving employees, the change is especially disheartening. Under the former structure, a 20-year veteran could expect nearly two years of severance pay. Now, they will receive 280 days of severance pay, less than half of what they had before.

    This latest shift underscores the stark reality of WWE’s evolving corporate culture now as part of TKO. While the company continues to boast of record-breaking profits and events, those working in the offices are feeling the pinch.

  • WWE/AAA Plotting Against Alberto El Patron, Claims Ex-WWE Talent

    WWE is trying to force Alberto El Patron out of AAA despite him being one of lucha libre\’s \”greatest legends,\” according to former WWE commentator Hugo Savinovich. Though WWE announced its acquisition of AAA three months ago, the promotion has so far avoided making reference to El Patron on TV. 

    Speaking to \”Lucha Libre Online,\” Savinovich, a former WWE commentator, claimed the promotion wants El Patron gone from AAA.

    \”What will happen to Alberto del Rio? He wasn’t even present at the AAA-WWE inauguration in Los Angeles. Alberto was dethroned by Hijo del Vikingo as Mega Champion.

    \”AAA and WWE trying to push one of the greatest legends of lucha libre out the door… Does honesty, sacrifice, loyalty, great work mean nothing anymore?\”

    El Patron competed for years in WWE as Alberto Del Rio, though he has a rocky relationship with the company. In 2014, Alberto was let go after a backstage altercation with a worker. After being rehired the following year, Alberto was cut in 2016 amidst a volatile relationship with Saraya.

    Outside of WWE, El Patron has carved a name for himself as one of the biggest stars AAA has seen in years. Despite all that, WWE has done all it can to avoid acknowledging El Patron and his efforts. It was recently claimed that WWE had rehired El Patron, though it was later clarified that WWE had simply acquired his pre-existing AA contract.

    Alberto himself has said in the past that he believes he will return to WWE one day. But despite WWE and AAA being closer connected than ever before, his plans for a return seem further away than ever.

  • How AJ Styles\’ Return To TNA Wrestling Came About

    AJ Styles is officially returning to TNA at Slammiversary, over a decade after he last appeared in person for the promotion. For years, Styles\’ name was synonymous with TNA, and his legacy with the company continues to be well-remembered to this day.

    Styles\’ return was first teased by TNA President Carlos Silva, only to be later confirmed for the Slammiversary event. Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Silva explained the delay in announcing Styles for the show.

    “We went through that all week as it all came together. We wanted to make sure the logistics of getting AJ to New York were set. As you know as well as anyone, these wrestlers are running around the world. You gotta make sure they can get there.”

    Silva didn\’t want to announce Styles until everything was finalized for his return to TNA. With that in mind, keeping Styles\’ return a surprise was never an option for management.

    \”It’s AJ Styles. He’s returning, and we just wanted to tell everyone so that everyone could have the best chance to see him at Slammiversary.”

    While his exact role at Slammiversary remains unconfirmed, speculation is already swirling. Some believe he could be setting up a future title match against current TNA World Champion Trick Williams. Regardless of what goes down, the return of “The Phenomenal One” has injected a fresh wave of buzz into TNA Slammiversary 2025.

  • Karrion Kross Tells All On Kissing Scarlett

    Karrion Kross and Scarlett have been able to travel the world as WWE Superstars, and one of the couple\’s recent viral moments wasn\’t planned for the show. During a recent episode of WWE Raw in Providence, Rhode Island, Kross ended his promo segment by locking lips with his wife for an over-the-top smooch.

    During a recent interview with 10 Count Media, Kross revealed that the passionate kiss he and Scarlett shared during a live episode of Monday Night Raw in Providence was completely improvised.

    \”Her and I play ribs on each other all the time,” Kross explained. “That one was just more obvious than the other ones that we’ve done live.\”

    Kross took his wife by surprise as neither are big into public displays of affection. For the pair, such displays remind them of waiting for kisses to finish and for the action to start on WWE TV.

    \”Her and I being wrestling fans, neither of us ever tuned in to watch wrestling to watch people make out. It’s kind of obnoxious, which is why we’ve always kind of stayed away from kissing on camera.\”

    Kross was surprised by the overwhelmingly positive crowd response. Despite both he and Scarlett being classed as heels, they got a bigger reaction than some of wrestling\’s dastardly duos.

    \”I was surprised people cheered that, ’cause normally, people—you know, like if you were to see other couples in the past, Edge and Lita—no one was cheering that.\”

    Kross\’ popularity is proving impossible to deny, though many fans are awaiting a big push for the popular Superstar. In the meantime, Kross will continue to take fans (and his wife) by surprise both on and off TV.


  • WWE Scrapped Diva Search Reboot, Claims NXT Talent

    WWE nearly revived the Diva Search, according to Kelly Kincaid, who revealed that the project never made it past the casting. Taking to X, the WWE NXT interviewer shared that her first taste of a wrestling contract came from the planned reboot.

    The Diva Search, which ran from 2003 to 2007, was a regular feature on WWE TV, though facec criticism at the time. WWE names like Ashley Massaro, Layla, and Eve Torres, the challenges that contestants had to endure very rarely had anything to do with wrestling prowess. Instead, the women would have to perform objectifying acts to try and earn a contract.

    Kincaid joined WWE in 2022 following a brief run in Ring of Honor. Although WWE ultimately shelved the project, the casting process brought fresh talent into the company—Kincaid among them. Since then, she has become a consistent on-screen presence in NXT as a backstage interviewer.

    With WWE over a decade into it\’s \’Women\’s Revolution,\’ concepts like the Diva Search, at least how it was, seem to be a thing of the past. While WWE continues to bring in women from all backgrounds, the focus now is firmly on their talent.

  • WWE’s Netflix Deal Pays Off With Massive Global Numbers

    WWE launched on Netflix in January 2025, the product of a multi-year, multi-billion-dollar deal between the two entertainment giants. Fans around the world are enjoying WWE on Netflix, and this deal is certainly paying off.

    According to a new report from Variety, WWE content has amassed more than 280 million hours watched globally since joining Netflix. The streaming giant listed WWE alongside other major titles such as Squid Game, Zero Day, Back in Action, and The Electric State in its latest data release.

    For fans in the United States, they are able to watch WWE Raw on Netflix. For fans overseas, however, they can enjoy Raw, SmackDown, WWE NXT, and Premium Live Events on the platform. With new content being produced each week, fans can expect plenty more of WWE on Netflix for many years to come.


  • Naomi Offering Cash Reward To Relocate Lost Custom Suitcase

    Naomi may have captured the Women\’s World Championship at Evolution, but not everything is perfect right now for the new titleholder. Now, Naomi is calling on fans in Atlanta for help—and she’s offering a cash reward to anyone who can solve the mystery of her missing suitcase scooter.

    Naomi took to X to share that her customized suitcase scooter, designed by special effects artist Jason Baker, went missing at the State Farm Arena last week. Naomi is so eager to be reunited with her case, that she\’s offering a cash reward to any fan who can help her get the suitcase back.

    The case won\’t be hard to miss as it features a black design with Naomi\’s signature caution tape, a key part of her aesthetic since turning heel. The intricate design is the work of Jason Baker, a horror effects legend who has worked with WWE several times. Examples of Baker\’s work includes the design of the Fiend, Uncle Howdy, Triple H\’s WrestleMania 30 entrance, and the Lily doll, to name just a few.

    One can only hope that somebody spots the scooter and gets it back to Naomi. For the champ, this isn\’t just an item to hold luggage, but it is a key aspect of her journey to the top of WWE.

  • Kurt Angle Seeks Fans\’ Help In Search Of Lost Owen Hart Match

    Kurt Angle has faced countless wrestlers, but now the Olympic Gold Medalist is on the hunt for a very rare match. On X, Angle recalled facing Owen Hart in a dark match mere days before Hart\’s tragic passing at Over the Edge. In his plea, Angle was hopeful that a fan recorded the match and encouraged anyone with footage to get in touch.

    Considered by many as two of the greatest technical wrestlers of all time, a showdown between Hart and Angle would be a must-see if footage exists. With Hart fondly remembered for his matches to this day, it\’s hardly a surprise that Kurt hopes that somebody will have footage of his time in the ring with the Rocket.

    Over 25 years after his passing, Owen Hart remains a beloved name in wrestling, and tributes continue to pour for the Canadian legend. It remains to be seen if footage of Hart Vs. Angle ever sees the light of day.

  • Hardy Boys Teases Retirement If Unsuccessful at TNA Slammiversary

    TNA Slammiversary has a stacked card lined up, but for the Hardy brothers, it might mark the end of their careers in the ring. During the July 17 episode of TNA iMPACT, Matt and Jeff Hardy stepped into the ring to deliver a promo that went far beyond typical pre-match hype. With a shot at the TNA World Tag Team Titles looming in a four-way ladder match, the brothers addressed the high-stakes involved in such a match. Jeff then admitted that this may be the last time fans see the pair in the ring.

    “If we don’t win the world tag team titles at Slammiversary, maybe it’s time for the Hardy party to end.\”

    It was a sobering moment that underscored just how high the stakes have become ahead of Slammiversary. Matt followed with a candid reflection of his own, admitting they “don’t want to be shells of themselves” and being upfront, acknowledging that “the business will move on without the Hardys.”

    During promo, the two pointed out how their momentum has faded since losing the TNA Tag Team Titles. The duo lost their World Tag Team Titles to the Nemeths at Rebellion back in April. Though this title change was not clean, that hasn\’t stopped Ryan and Nic from claiming to be the greatest brother tag team of all time.

    At Slammiversary, the Hardys will compete in a chaotic four-way ladder match against First Cla$$ (K.C. Navarro & A.J. Francis), The Rascalz (Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz), and the champions, Ryan and Nic Nemeth. Time will tell if the Hardyz regain the gold, or if fans see the last of them in the ring at Slammiversary.

  • Enzo Amore Teases TNA Slammiversary Invasion With Backup

    Enzo Amore could be making his presence known at TNA Slammiversary, and he may not be showing up alone. On the July 17 episode of TNA iMPACT, a new vignette aired featuring the former WWE star, now known as Real1, and he had plenty to say.

    One week after appearing via vignette, Amore declared that he’d “eat up Joe Hendry like a muffin,” before making a massive tease. Enzo teased the idea of breaking through the “forbidden door” and openly threatened to appear at TNA Slammiversary. But the biggest revelation? He made it clear he won’t be showing up solo.

    While he didn’t name names outright, Enzo heavily hinted that he could be bringing Zilla Fatu and/or Bishop Dyer (fka Baron Corbin) along for the ride. “I’m probably bringing Zilla… maybe Dyer?” he said, leaving fans speculating but sending a clear message: something big is coming.

    Enzo infamously showed up in the crowd at WWE Survivor Series 2018, an act that resulted in him being kicked out by security at the time. Should Enzo appear at Slammiversary, it\’ll be part of the show, and time will tell if he comes with former WWE Superstar Bishop Dyer, Zilla Fatu, or someone else entirely.

  • CM Punk On Changes, Triple H & Being Very Good At Wrestling

    CM Punk returned to WWE in November 2023 after close to a decade away from the wrestling juggernaut. Speaking to Scott Fishman of TV Insider, Punk reflected on how his attitude today differs from the CM Punk of old.

    \”I don’t think I’m fighting for real estate anymore where as early in my career I was always fighting for what I thought was the way to do things. I feel like my role is 100 hundred percent more solidified now.\”

    While Punk\’s desire for things to be done the \’right way\’ (i.e. his way) rubbed many the wrong way early into his WWE career, things are different now. Today, Punk knows his work speaks for itself, and is hardly shy of self-praise.

    \”It feels weird saying that I’m a living legend, but I’m not sure how else to say it. I’m 46 years old and have been doing this for a very long time. Pardon my French, I’m pretty f*ckin’ good at it.\”

    One name intrinsic to Punk\’s return to WWE is Paul \’Triple H\’ Levesque, someone who Punk had an issue with for years. Without both men changing their attitudes, Punk\’s return would never had happened, something CM Punk doesn\’t take lightly.

    “Between me and Triple H, there is so much more of an understanding. I’ve advanced in my life to a point where I have the perspective I didn’t have before. For him likewise has advanced in life to where he has experiences and knowledge he didn’t have before.

    \”Me and him, I think we were both on the main roster, and were talented guys. It was more adversarial because we were competition. Now we’re not and are on the same page.\”

    CM Punk\’s more level-headed attitude has kept him incident-free in WWE, in stark contrast to his fiery final year with All Elite Wrestling. Today, Punk is ready to let his work speak for itself, and appreciate that what he does is \”pretty f***ing good!\”

  • CM Punk Is One Gruesome Dude In SyFy Revival Series

    CM Punk is part of Revival, a new series on SyFy with a macabre twist. When the dead begin coming back to life, but not as the shuffling zombies of old, those still living are left to ponder where this second-chance came from, and what to do with those who have been revived.

    Tony Check, played by Punk, certainly knows what the revived means for him. Speaking to Scott Fishman of TV Insider, Punk teased what fans can expect from his character on the show.

    “He is an opportunistic guy. He recognizes that with the revivers there is a new business opportunity in Wausau. He is not afraid to get his hands dirty. He is a gruesome dude.”

    Punk is no stranger to roles outside of the ring. The former WWE/AEW World Champion earned praise for his part in Girl On The Third Floor, a tension-filled drama. Punk put his wrestling knowledge to good use when he played a journeyman grappler for Heels and would share the screen with Stephen and Robbie Amell.

    Punk continues to impress both in and out of the squared circle, and fans are excited to see him in Revival. Though his character may be a \”gruesome dude,\” don\’t expect fans to look away when the Best in the World is on the screen.

  • CM Punk Reveals Why He Refuses To Work with Wife AJ Lee

    Fans may be clamoring for AJ Lee to return, but if that happens, don\’t expect her to work alongside her husband CM Punk. Speaking to Scott Fishman of TV Insider, Punk explained that working on-screen isn\’t in the card for himself and his bride.

    “There are really two things me and my wife don’t do together. One is to work out and the other is to work together. It’s really the perfect relationship.”

    Though this is the couple\’s rule now, Punk and Lee worked closely on TV together in 2012. That year AJ would form a romantic interest in Punk, who in his own words, dug \”crazy chicks.\” Months later, when Punk was a heel, he and AJ would butt heads as Lee was introduced as Raw\’s General Manager.

    Doing More in Acting?

    Both Punk and Lee have appeared in projects outside of the ring, with Punk earning praise for his role in Heels and Girl on the Third Floor. While he doesn\’t plan to work with AJ, one name CM Punk is never shy to reach out to over work is Dave Bautista.

  • Kane Believes Window For WWE Farewell Match Has Passed Him By

    For decades, Glenn \’Kane\’ Jacobs dominated in the ring, but it\’s been years since the Devil\’s Favorite Demon competed. Appearing on Busted Open Radio, Jacobs was asked if he had any plans for a final farewell in the ring. While the idea may be tempting for some, the WWE Hall of Famer acknowledged that he may never receive a full send-off.

    “[Laughs] I don’t know about that, man. Oh man. Brother, we were just talking about athleticism and movement and keeping up with the pace of people nowadays. That may have left me behind, guys.”

    Kane last appeared in the ring during the 2021 Royal Rumble match, where he had a brief but solid showing in the bout won by former rival Edge. While some hope to see Kane back for one more match, it appears that fans have seen the last of the Big Red Machine.

    Outside the ring, Jacobs serves as the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, and though he identifies as a Libertarian, he is in office as a member of the Republican party. With Jacobs\’ political career taking center stage, appearances in wrestling, either in or out of the ring, are becoming a rarity.

    Kane had a career most wrestlers can only dream of, including reigns as WWE, World Heavyweight, and ECW World Champion. While a proper send-off may not be in the cards, the Big Red Machine\’s legacy will last forever.
