  • Ex-WWE Rival Teases Facing John Cena As Retirement Nears

    The end of John Cena\’s in-ring career is mere weeks away, and speculation continues to circulate about his final matches. Now, a former adversary has teased rekindling their feud with the 17-time WWE World Champion before Cena\’s retirement match happens on December 13.

    On Instagram, The Miz shared footage from his 2009 feud with Cena. Looking to the future, Miz\’s caption teased facing John again, stating \”Are you thinking of me now….or do I need to remind you again?\”

    Miz\’s first feud with Cena began in 2009 shortly after the A-Lister split from John Morrison. The feud saw Miz repeatedly claim \’victories\’ over John after Cena failed to come out and confront the cocky heel. Their feud would eventually lead to a pay-per-view match won by Cena.

    Two years later, the two would feud again, this time over the WWE Championship. While The Miz was able to retain the gold at WrestleMania 27, he would lose the title to John at Extreme Rules 2011.

    John\’s final match will come at WWE Saturday Night\’s Main Event on December 13 against an opponent yet to be decided. A tournament will begin on the November 10, Raw, which will also see Cena make an appearance.

    Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on John Cena\’s in-ring farewell as The Miz is ready to step back in the ring with him one last time.

  • Ridge Holland To Donate Raised Funds To Charity After WWE Exit

    Ridge Holland will be donating funds raised to help him to charity following a backlash against the former WWE Superstar. On X, the former WWE NXT Tag Team Champion explained his situation.

    \”Thank you all for the incredible support shown through the GoFundMe campaign. However, I want to clarify that I was not aware the page was going live and had no prior discussion with the family member who created it.

    \”I’ve since requested that no further donations be accepted, and this change should take effect within the next 24 hours. Once we figure out how to move forward and I recoup the amount donated, I will be donating said amount to charity.

    \”I sincerely apologize if the page caused any upset or offense — that was never the intention. Thank you for your understanding and kindness.\”

    Holland shared in October 2025 that his contract would not be renewed from WWE. The Welsh wrestler also shared his concerns about finances, saying that he was distressed at the idea of not being able to pay his mortgage.

    Holland\’s concerns about money led to the GoFundMe page being set up to help Ridge, who is currently dealing with an injury. Notable donators include new Women\’s United States Champion Chelsea Green as well as AEW\’s Nick Jackson.

    However, the GoFundMe did receive a backlash from some who argued that Hollan should have been wiser with his money during his time in WWE. While those commenters do not know the details of Holland\’s finances, Ridge has made the decision to pay back what was given. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Ridge Holland.

  • Nixon Newell Says She\’s Received Death Threats Over AEW Collision Drama

    Nixon Newell and Miranda Alize did not compete during the November 8, edition of AEW Collision as initially planned. Now, Newell has spoken about the backlash she\’s received in the wake of what happened.

    Taking to her Twitch stream, Newell shared that she\’s received multiple death threats over what transpired at AEW Collision. Newell sarcastically said it was \”lovely\” to wake up to these threats for standing up for what she believes in.

    \”I had multiple today. I got three today and it’s always with the IWC [Internet Wrestling Community.] So it is what it is.\”

    Initially, it was reported that Newell and Alize had refused to lose their match given that they had lost their debut match the previous week. It was later claimed, however, it was later reported that Newell and Alize had no issue with the match result, but instead had an issue with the match only being given three minutes.

    On the stream, Newell said that the issue was indeed with the time, not the result. Newell argued that having such a short tag team match could have not done anyone in the match any good.

    \”We decided as a couple, as wrestlers independently that 3 minutes isn’t going make anyone look good. As wrestlers, we want everyone to look good.\”

    Rather than \’storming out,\’ Newell and Alize politely explained their views and were given the go-ahead to leave the show. While this is a situation that has divided fans, nothing excuses sending death threats to either Nixon Newell or Miranda Alize. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on this story.

  • Chris Jericho Likes WrestleMania Message Amid WWE Speculation

    Chris Jericho last competed in a WWE ring in 2018 but rumors continue to circulate about a return to the company. Now, a single like from the former WWE World Champion has left fans thinking that his return could be a matter of months away.

    On November 9, 2025, Jericho turned 55, and marked his birthday with a shirtless selfie on Instagram. This post received hundreds of comments from fans and fellow wrestlers wishing Chris a very happy birthday. One notable comment simply read \”WrestleMania baby!\” which was liked by none other than Jericho himself.

    https://media.sescoops.com/uploads/2025/11/\"https://media.sescoops.com/uploads/2025/11/\"

    Jericho\’s AEW contract is reportedly nearing its end which is why fans have been left considering a potential WWE return. In September 2025, Jericho said he wouldn\’t be opposed to returning to WWE but added that he\’s still with AEW and that \”I\’m not going anywhere for a long time.\”

    Jericho joined AEW when the company first started in January 2019 and at the time was the biggest name under contract. That same year, he became the first-ever AEW World Champion, a title he would hold until losing the gold to Jon Moxley in early 2020.

    Jericho recently reached 35 years in pro wrestling but has vowed that he\’s not through yet. As for whether Jericho\’s future in the ring leads him to being a WWE Superstar again, time will tell.

  • The Beast Mortos Helps Mercedes Mone Retain Title in Rome

    Mercedes Mone is still the BestYa Women’s Champion after retaining the title against Queen Maya. The finish of the match saw Mone\’s boyfriend The Beast Mortos spear Maya before The CEO made her opponent tap out to the Bank Statement.

    Mercedes and Mortos confirmed their relationship earlier this year. Previously, Mone had been married to Sarath Ton, though the couple divorced in 2024.

    Italy\’s BestYa Women\’s Championship is one of 12 titles Mone currently holds. On November 15, Mone will compete in House of Glory Wrestling for the APAC Women’s Championship and hopes to capture her 13th title. Mone is also part of the tournament to crown the first-ever AEW Women’s Tag Team Champions. The CEO has also set her sights on the AEW Women’s World Title once more.

  • Latest On Talent Reportedly Refusing To Lose On AEW Collision

    Plans for the November 8, edition of AEW Collision had to change when talent objected to losing, it has been reported. According to PW Insider, Nixon Newell and Miranda Alize refused to lose in what would have been their second match for AEW.

    The pair were scheduled to put over Tay Melo & Anna Jay, the report adds, but took issue with losing to the two established AEW names. Their argument was that they had lost the previous week in their official debut match against Marina Shafir and Megan Bayne.

    However, in an update, Fightful Select reports that Newell and Alize didn\’t expect to win their tag-team match with Jay and Melo, but wanted more than the budgeted three minutes.

    Newell and Alize reportedly left the taping an hour before their match was supposed to begin. They were replaced by Hyan and Maya World, who had no issue losing to Melo and Jay. It\’s said that AEW was appreciative of Maya/Hyan stepping up and that each gained points internally.

    On X, Newell and Alize shared criticism from fans of their handling in AEW so far, with Alize teasing that the couple have much more they want to say. After the couple debuted, it was reported that neither is believed to be under contract with AEW.

    This is a developing situation, though refusing to lose is often a bad look for talent. With Newell being open about her post-WWE booking struggles, it remains to be seen how this repoted incident will impact her career.

  • Deadlock Pro Wrestling To Go On Hiatus After 2026 Event

    Independent wrestling promotion Deadlock Pro Wrestling will be going on an indefinite hiatus in 2026, with just two more events confirmed. On X, the promotion shared that after their 4th Anniversary event on December 12 and an event in Japan in 2026, the promotion will have no future events lined up.

    \”Hey everyone! The next DPW event will be our 4th Anniversary event in Cary, NC on Friday, December 12th! We will run one more event in Japan in 2026, but this will be the final DPW event for the foreseeable future. We have decided to make the event a fundraiser event to help families in the area as we close the 2025 holiday season & head into the new year.

    \”All tickets to the event will be $1 (plus Eventbrite fees/tax) to allow anyone who has ever wanted to attend a DPW event the ability to do so. There will be an option to donate on Eventbrite & we will be collecting donations at the event. All the money from the gate & donations from the December 12th event will be donated to a local North Carolina food bank, Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. DEADLOCK itself will match the gate & donations up to $10,000. The Eventbrite page will go up later this week.

    \”It has been an absolute pleasure to produce DPW events these past 4 years. Thank you to all the fans, wrestlers, & everyone behind-the-scenes that made all this possible. We are extremely proud of what we have accomplished & we are excited to celebrate with a great anniversary event in December! Thank you for everything.\”

    DPW was founded in November 2021 by Anthony Douglas, James Darnell, and John Blud, all of whom are notable pro-wrestling YouTubers. The name of the promotion comes from the Deadlock Podcast, which is hosted by the trio.

    DPW has been host to some notable names including Je\’Von Evans, the Motor City Machine Guns, MxM, Mustafa Ali, Masato Tanaka, Konosuke Takeshita, and Roderick Strong. With this hiatus looming, it remains to be seen if fans ever see another DPW match after the 2026 event in Japan.

  • Nixon Newell & Miranda Alize Share Fan Criticism Of AEW Booking

    Nixon Newell and Miranda Alize recently arrived in AEW, but the pair have already taken issue with the company\’s handling of them. The duo recently debuted in AEW where they lost to Marina Shafir and Megan Bayne in the tournament to crown the first-ever AEW Women\’s Tag Team Champions.

    On X, fans have been eager to see more of the pair, with some arguing that the duo need to rack up wins in AEW rather than lose. On the platform, both Newell and Alize shared several posts arguing that the pair need to be booked better. Alize herself tease sharing her own frustrations, stating that \”We have SOOOOOOO much to say.\”

    https://media.sescoops.com/uploads/2025/11/\"https://media.sescoops.com/uploads/2025/11/\"

    Sharing complaints about AEW\’s handling of them may not do Newell or Alize any favors with those backstage. Newell is perhaps best known to fans for her two runs in WWE as Tegan Nox. Newell and Alize are a real-life couple.

    Time will tell if AEW listens to the feedback from fans and does more with Newell and Alize. Nevertheless, sharing these criticisms of one of wrestling\’s biggest companies is certainly a bold strategy.

  • Matt Hardy: AEW Run Left Me Questioning My Wrestling Future

    Matt Hardy was unsure whether to continue his wrestling career after AEW, the wrestling veteran has revealed. On a recent episode of The Extreme Life Of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt explained how being underutilized alongside his brother Jeff left him feeling reflective. Matt explained that while he was with AEW, he felt himself questioning \”why am I still doing this?\” as he felt he \”wasn\’t really doing anything.\”

    Matt made clear that he knew he still loved wrestling, but didn\’t feel like it was something he loved during his AEW run. Now, Matt and Jeff are in TNA which has proven to be a perfect remedy for his AEW tenure. Matt beamed as he explained that now back in TNA, \”I am as much in love with the business as I have ever been this year.”

    Matt joined AEW in 2020 shortly after his time with WWE came to an end. Matt would have 113 matches in AEW, and despite being part of one of the most popular tag teams of all time, he and Jeff never challenged for the AEW World Tag Team Championships.

    Matt would compete for other titles in AEW, including the Trios Titles, TNT Championship, and ROH World Tag Team Titles with Jeff. Despite his best efforts, Matt\’s AEW run ended in 2024 without ever holding gold.

    Matt Hardy isn\’t the only wrestler to criticize their run in AEW. Jake Hager has said he regrets joining AEW despite being part of one of the company\’s biggest early storylines with the Inner Circle. CM Punk has said he \’wasted\’ some of his matches in AEW, arguing that more could have been done with him in the ring.

    While AEW has proven to be great for many, there are those who feel their time being \’All Elite\’ wasn\’t fulfilling. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Hardy\’s future in wrestling.

  • Jake Hager Drops \’Your Mom\’ Comeback To Wrestling Career Criticism

    Jake Hager\’s career in pro wrestling has come to an end as the former WWE World Champion announced his retirement in August 2025. While Hager\’s days competing in front of wrestling fans are over, he\’s not through with fans and critics of his in-ring career.

    On X, a clip was shared from a 2010 edition of SmackDown showing The Big Show destroying the trophies of the then-Jack Swagger. In a fiery response, one fan made it clear that they\’re grateful Hager\’s in-ring career is over.

    Thank god your in ring career is done. You had some physical gifts but perhaps the least charismatic in history. After almost 20 years in pro wrestling and still you look like an untalented rookie with polio out there. Ohhh but ya got a great hat

    This comment earned a response from Hager, though he didn\’t defend his wrestling career. Instead, he took aim at the fan\’s mother.

    Hager shared on the Rule Breakers podcast that he has started his own trucking company based out of Tampa, Florida, humorously named “Hauling Oats.” Hager himself isn\’t driving, but he has peopel driving for him and described the new careeer as \”something to stick my teeth into.\”

    Hager recently slammed Tony Khan and his leadership of AEW, even going as far as to say he regrets joining AEW. With Hager also shutting down the idea of a WWE Royal Rumble return, the former World Champion is committed to his new life outside of the ring.

  • Giulia Furious After Title Loss: \’I\’m Going To Tear It All Apart\’

    Giulia\’s time as WWE Women\’s United States Champion has come to an end and the \’Beautiful Madness\’ isn\’t happy. On social media, Giulia was angry at herself for losing, as well as new champion Chelsea Green. Giulia shared that she\’s mad \”at EVERYTHING\” before vowing to \”tear it all apart.\”

    Giulia had become the longest-reigning Women\’s U.S. Champion shortly before her defeat, surpassing Green in the record books. The Japanese star won the title from Zelina Vega during the June 27, episode of WWE SmackDown. Her reign saw her make seven defenses (two on TV) before her loss to Green.

    Green\’s victory makes her a double champion, a fact she was eager to gloat about following SmackDown. She and Ethan Page are the current AAA Mixed Tag Team Champions, having won the gold from Mr. Iguana and La Hiedra. Green has also teased going after the TNA Knockouts title, meaning the \’Hot Mess\’ could soon become a triple-champion.

    As for Giulia, this loss clearly stings and she\’s ready to unleash chaos on those who face her. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on what Giulia has planned.

  • WWE NXT\’s Hank & Tank Win GHC Tag Team Titles in NOAH

    More WWE Superstars are capturing gold outside of the promotion as NXT\’s Hank Walker and Tank Ledger are now the GHC Tag Team Champions. The duo won the gold on the November 8, edition of Pro Wrestling NOAH’s Star Navigation event, dethroning Masa Kitamiya and Takashi Sugiura.

    The victory celebration of Hank and Tank was short-lived. Immediately after the match, Naomichi Marufuji and Kenoh emerged as the first challengers of the new GHC Tag Team Champions.

    This is the third tag title reign for Hank and Tank over the past 12 months, with each reign happening in a different promotion. In December 2024, the pair won the Reality of Wrestling Tag Team Championships. At WWE NXT Stand & Deliver earlier this year, the duo won the WWE NXT Tag Team Championships.

    Hank and Tank aren\’t the only WWE Superstars to hold non-WWE gold. NXT\’s Kelani Jordan is the TNA Knockouts Champion, though siding with TNA at Showdown has left her isolated from the NXT roster. Chelsea Green and Ethan Page are the AAA Mixed Tag Team Champions after winning the titles from Mr. Iguana and La Hiedra on November 2.

    It remains to be seen if Hank and Tank will be able to keep their gold in their first title defense against Marufuji and Kenoh. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on the new GHC Tag Team Champions.

    Tanahashi\’s career will end without him ever appearing in WWE, a promotion AJ Styles is confident he would have thrived in. Nevertheless, fans can expect a huge send-off when he faces Okada one final time at Wrestle Kingdo,.

    At WWE Saturday Night\’s Main Event, Jade Cargill captured the WWE Women\’s Title, ending the 300+ day reign of Tiffany Stratton in the process. Speaking to FOX Carolina ahead of the November 7, edition of WWE SmackDown, Jade reflected on what this win means for her.

  • Ridge Holland: I Think About Big E\’s Injury Every Single Day

    The March 11, 2022, episode of WWE SmackDown will always be remembered as the night Big E suffered a broken neck, putting his in-ring career on pause indefinitely. Ridge Holland was part of the move that derailed Big E\’s wrestling career, and he\’d do anything to undo what happened.

    On his YouTube channel, Ridge reflected on his WWE career, which recently came to an end. Addressing the Big E injury, Holland wishes that he could undo what happened.

    \”If I had a time machine, right here, right now, the first thing I would do is go back and not do that spot. There is not a day that goes by where I don’t think about what happened.\”

    Holland predicted that he\’ll be thinking about that unfortunate spot every day for the rest of his life. While Holland continues to loathe his actions on that fateful March night, he is grateful that Big E has shown him nothing but kindness since then.

    \”I’m grateful that Big E, the class of human that he is, he forgave me and he’s been able to be so positive and move on with his life. He’s killing it.\”

    Big E has found a new career in WWE as a correspondent and has been open about the possibility that his wrestling career may be over. While Big E has seemingly found peace about what happened over three years ago, moving forward continues to prove difficult for Ridge Holland.

  • Velvet Sky Slams \’Vile\’ Dixie Carter Over TNA Talent Treatment

    Velvet Sky spent much of her wrestling career in TNA Wrestling and, as a result worked in proximity with Dixie Carter. Now, the newly-inducted TNA Hall of Famer has recalled her experience with Carter, recalling a \’Vile\’ moment from the former TNA President.

    Taking to X, Sky recalled a meeting that Carter hosted in 2009, in which she made reference to drastic changes coming to TNA. Those changes would include Hulk Hogan being brought in and TNA briefly going head-to-head with WWE Monday Night Raw in 2010.

    Despite Carter\’s bravado in the meeting, Sky shared that those present weren\’t interested in what she had to say. Instead, many were frustrated by having to take time out of their day to, in Sky\’s view, feed Carter\’s ego.

    \”I remember this day. The consensus of the locker room and staff during this “meeting” was not one single person gave a shit what she was saying and we actually had to take time out of production day for this nonsense from her and it had to be filmed so she could have her “my way or the highway” ego stroked even more.\”

    Sky didn\’t stop there, adding that Carter was disliked during her time running TNA and claimed that Carter treated others poorly. Sky wrapped up her view on Carter with one word: \”Vile!\”

    \”She was not well received by most because of the way she treated people who could do nothing for her and the way she would talk down to people. Vile.\”

    Sky is hardly the only person to criticize Carter and her handling of TNA. In 2020, AJ Styles shared on a Twitch stream that Carter was a \”woman who has no idea how wrestling works.\” Angelina Love, Sky\’s tag-team partner, claimed in 2021 that Carter\’s ineptitude cost TNA their deal with Spike TV and called Dixie a \”disaster.\”

  • Liv Morgan Keeps Coy Over WWE In-Ring Return: \’Watch Me!\’

    Liv Morgan has missed much of 2025 due to an injury and there\’s no confirmation when she\’ll be back in action. Now, Morgan has answered questions about her WWE status and her in-ring return, but the former Women\’s World Champion is keeping things close to her chest.

    Morgan recently appeared at the premiere of Netflix\’s Stranger Things Season 5, which will return to the streaming platform later this month. When asked if fans can expect her back in months, weeks, or perhaps even sooner, Morgan remained coy, instead stating “I think that everyone’s just going to have to watch me.\”

    Morgan suffered a shoulder injury in May during a match on WWE Raw against Kairi Sane. Liv would later undergo surgery, and WWE are reportedly hoping that she will be back in early 2026.

    While Morgan didn\’t have much to say about her return, she had plenty to say about Stranger Things. When asked who could take down a Demogorgon, Morgan picked her on-screen beau Dominik Mysterio.

    “He\’s the WWE Intercontinental Champion and the AAA Mega Champion, he can kind of do anything.”

    Morgan said she\’d rather endure the wrath of Rhea Ripley rather than be stuck in the Upside Down. For now, Morgan remains in her recovery process, and fans will just have to wait and see when she is back.

  • Chelsea Green Gloats Over Double-Champ Status After Women\’s U.S. Title Win

    On the November 7, edition of WWE SmackDown, Chelsea Green regained the Women\’s United States Title, ending the record-breaking reign of Giulia. This win makes Green a double champion, and the first Superstar in history to win the Women\’s United States Championship more than once.

    After the match, Green gloated about her win.

    \”We did what we said we were gonna do. Like we always do. Double Champ. Mixed AAA Tag Team Champions. And your first and fourth-ever, longest reigning, most dangerous Women\’s United States Champion. Adios!\”

    Green\’s victory came as something of a surprise. Despite Giulia recently breaking the record for the longest-reign as Women\’s United States Champion, this title match was surprisingly short. Green won the Women\’s U.S. title for the first time in December 2024, defeating Michin in the finals of a tournament.

    Green and Page will now look ahead to NXT Gold Rush, where they will defend the AAA Mixed Tag Team Titles against Joe Hendry and Thea Hail. With this match looming, and Green eyeing another title outside WWE, the \’Hot Mess\’ is proving to be one to watch.

  • Dustin Rhodes Shares Prediction About In-Ring Return Timeline

    Dustin Rhodes has shared when fans can expect him back in the ring after the veteran recently underwent double knee replacement surgery. Rhodes has remained optimistic throughout rehab and took to X to respond to a fan\’s question about when he\’ll be back.

    Rhodes hasn’t wrestled since July and was written off TV with an attack by Kyle Fletcher. Rhodes eventually went under the knife in August. Two weeks later, Rhodes provided an update, saying that he was ready for a \”slow and methodical rehab\” from the surgery.

    With Rhodes\’ expected return window still months away, there\’s no teases yet of his comeback on AEW programming. Rhodes recently shared that he\’d love to work as a heel once again, though is doubtful that a turn will ever happen. Rhodes has been a face since joining AEW in 2019.

    Whatever plans may await Rhodes in the ring, they won\’t be happening in 2025. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on the former Goldust and his road to recovery.

  • UFC\’s Dana White Is Keeping A Close Eye On WWE Alum Gable Steveson

    Dana White is keeping a close eye on ex-WWE Superstar Gable Steveson as speculation continues to circulate about a move to UFC. Speaking to MMA Knockout\’s Zain Bando recently, Steveson shared that he has been working with UFC icon Jon Jones in the world of MMA.

    Appearing on The Jim Rome Show, White discussed Steveson, who many believe will eventually make a move to UFC. White confirmed that he and his company are keeping a close eye on the Olympic Gold Medalist.

    \”When somebody that\’s a physical freak, an incredible athlete, and a guy who has competed at the highest level, and then they start transitioning, in a combat sport like this, it is very interesting. We are definitely keeping our eye on him, and we\’ll see how this plays out.\”

    Rome quizzed White about the partnership between Steveson and Jones. As far as the UFC President is concerned, this can only do good things for the Olympian.

    \”It is a great thing, actually. If you can get in and if you look at anybody in the history of boxing and the UFC, if you train with the best every day, those are usually the guys who become world champions.\”

    Steveson made his MMA debut in September and dominated in the Octagon to score a first-round win. Proving that this was no fluke, Gable won his boxing debut in seconds in October, cementing his talents as a legitimate fighter.

    Steveson signed with WWE in 2021 but his career with the company did not pan out as planned. Despite his success in the Olympics, Steveson would ultimately have just one televised match for WWE as part of the NXT Great American Bash in 2023. Steveson\’s tenure with WWE ended in 2024.

    Dominik posed alongside fellow WWE personality Peter Rosenberg and wore a San Diego Padres fit.

    The involvement of the two WWE Superstars demonstrates how their popularity extends beyond the squared circle. Liv and Dominik became an on-screen item in 2024 as Dom betrayed Rhea Ripley to aid Morgan at that year\’s SummerSlam.

    Morgan has been out of action for much of 2025 after suffering an injury during a match with Kairi Sane. WWE is reportedly hopeful that Morgan will be ready to make a return in early 2026, meaning she could be in action at WrestleMania 42.

  • Asuka Reflects on Decade in WWE: ‘My Evolution Hasn’t Stopped’

    Asuka recently reached a decade in WWE and the Empress of Tomorrow has proven to be a huge success during those ten years as a Superstar. Taking to her KanaChan TV YouTube channel, Asuka reflected on what she\’s accomplished over the decade.

    \”Through that time, I have continued to carve my name as The Empress of Tomorrow. True to that name, I\’ve been creating the future and staying ahead of the times.\”

    Asuka joined WWE in 2015 at an interesting time for the company\’s women. While the tide was slowly turning for female Superstars under the \’Women\’s Revolution,\’ Asuka said that she was the missing piece that helped take things to a new level.

  • WWE/ECW Alum Raven Reveals Personality Disorder Diagnosis

    ECW original and hardcore wrestling legend Raven has opened up about his mental health, sharing that he has been diagnosed with both narcissistic and histrionic personality disorders. Raven shared this news during his documentary Nevermore: The Raven Effect, adding that he learned of this after getting sober.

    In the doc, Raven recalls seeing the diagnosis on the desk of a clinician he was visiting. While these diagnoses could be scary to some, Raven shared that it was \”freeing\” for him to learn \”why I behave this way.\”

    The former ECW World Heavyweight Champion described Narcissistic Personality Disorder as \”egomania\” and said that Histrionic Personality Disorder is \”a little more twisted.\” Raven listed off some of the signs of himself having Histrionic Personality Disorder including shallow emotions, being uncomfortable when not the center of attention, and dramatic or exaggerated emotions.

    During the documentary, Raven also reflected on the influence his father had on his upbringing. Though he described his father as \”so funny\” and akin to Don Rickles, he added that his dad\’s constant insults \”destroyed my sense of self-worth.\” Raven concluded by sharing that he feels he only became an adult aged 35 when his father passed away.

    Raven\’s decision to open up about his mental health demonstrates how the stigma of mental health in wrestling is falling away. Several wrestlers have spoken publicly about their mental health including Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. Saraya, who was once ready to end her life after private images were leaked, recently discussed her mental health, sharing that she\’s the happiest she\’s been in a long time.

    Raven is determined to move forward in his mental health and fans are ready to support him. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on the former WWE Superstar.

  • Thunder Rosa Eyes Britt Baker Rematch Amid DMD\’s AEW Absence

    Thunder Rosa would love the chance to step back in the ring with Britt Baker, but is unsure if that will happen at an AEW event. During a recent appearance on Masks, Mats and Mayhem, Rosa was asked about whether she and Baker will ever resume their rivalry.

    \”I would love to. I think it would be a good idea to close the chapter on our story and do it right… That’s what I’m saying — it’s time to finish the story.\”

    While Rosa would love the chance to \’finish the story,\’ she was quick to acknowledge that \”It\’s not up to me. It\’s not up to her.\” Rosa added that booking decisions are \”above my pay grade\” before reflecting on what continuing their feud could mean.

    \”I think it’s a matter of respect, right? Like, she might feel disrespected. She wants to get the respect back from the locker room.\”

    Rosa and Baker feuded in 2020 and 2021, and it was Rosa who ended Baker\’s reign as the AEW Women\’s World Champion. Earlier this year, Rosa challenged Baker to a hair vs. hair match at AEW All In: Texas, though the challenge went unanswered.

    Baker hasn\’t wrestled for AEW since November 2024, when she defeated Penelope Ford on an episode of AEW Dynamite. That match was just the fifth match of 2024 for the DMD in an alarming stat for somebody once seen as AEW\’s top woman.

    Britt Baker\’s future with AEW remains in limbo, despite Tony Khan speaking highly of her. Should Britt Baker make a return to AEW TV, though, Thunder Rosa will be waiting for her.
