  • Production Crew Member Sues AEW, Accuses Jon Moxley of Assault

    A production crew member is suing AEW and World Champion Jon Moxley, accusing the latter of assault and the company of gross neglience. According to Sports Illustrated, the lawsuit was filed on May 30, 2025, in Wayne County Circuit Court by Christopher Dispensa, a longtime production hand who has worked AEW events. Dispensa is not a direct employee of AEW.

    Dispensa claims he sustained serious injuries during the May 10, 2023, episode of Dynamite in Detroit, during a violent cage match between Moxley and Kenny Omega. He alleges that Moxley shoved him unexpectedly while reaching for a screwdriver—an action Dispensa says was not part of the plan.

    \”By going off-script and violently shoving Plaintiff, who was only a crew member, to the ground, [Moxley] demonstrated a substantial lack of concern for whether a severe injury would result to a production crew member at the event.\”

    Dispensa says the shove resulted in significant neck and shoulder injuries, requiring cervical fusion and shoulder surgery. His legal team is accusing both Moxley and AEW of gross negligence, arguing that AEW failed to protect its crew from Moxley\’s unscriptedactions.

    \”Past disciplinary offenses by [Moxley] include a documented history of unpredictability as well as a lack of control by Defendant AEW, all of which were known or should have been known to Defendant AEW at the time of this assault.\”

    This claim is certainly bold as SI notes how \”multiple high-level AEW sources with knowledge of Moxley’s working history\” were unaware of any disciplinary actions against him. On the contrary, Moxley is respected within AEW by talent and management with one source calling him the \”locker room leader.

    The complaint also accuses AEW of neglience in training Moxley, another noteworthy claim given that Moxley\’s career began in 2004, 15 years prior to his arrival in AEW. Moxley will defend the AEW World Championship against “Hangman” Adam Page at AEW All In on July 12.

  • Why Elayna Black Hopes Fans Never See Her Early WWE Matches

    Elayna Black joined WWE in 2021 and quickly emerged as a star on the rise as part of the WWE NXT division. Speaking to Going Ringside, the former Cora Jade explained how she was able to gather in-ring experience as part of WWE long before she made it to TV.

    \”They do these little shows called like PC Live… PC Live is essentially like in front of your coworkers and peers.\”

    Black admitted that there\’s \”probably a lot\” of matches that she wishes she hadn\’t done during her WWE tenure. These PC live matches are only meant to be seen by those at the time, a fact Black is grateful for.

    \”I would probably say most of my PC Live matches were absolutely horrible, and I never want to watch them and I’m glad nobody can have access to them.\”

    Scott Thompson, who was interviewing Black, joked that the footage likely still exists in WWE\’s archives. Black remained adamant that the footage should remain buried in WWE\’s archives, never to see the light of day.

    While WWE does often release rare, never-before-seen footage, the odds of them releasing bad matches from a former Superstar seems unlikely. As for Black, she continues to show how far she\’s improved and is glad to keep her PC Live matches in the past.

  • Latest On Damage CTRL After Releases & Injuries

    Damage CTRL debuted in WWE at SummerSlam 2022, originally consisting of Bayley, Dakota Kai and IYO SKY. With Kai now gone from WWE once more and SKY focusing on her role as Women\’s World Champion, fans have been left wondering what\’s to come for Damage CTRL.

    According to internal WWE sources via Fightful Select, the decision to disband the group was made quietly behind the scenes in early May 2025, around the time Dakota Kai\’s release. From that point forward, WWE reportedly instructed commentators and on-air talent to stop referring to any of the remaining members as part of the faction.

    The writing had been on the wall for Damage CTRL for some time. When the decision was made to split the faction, Kai had already been released while Bayley was off TV thanks to a kayfabe attack by Becky Lynch. Both Kairi Sane and Asuka had been off with injuries, the latter of whom had already missed over a year of action. That left SKY as the sole member of Damage CTRL appearing on TV.

    Though Asuka will make her return to TV very soon, sources indicate there are no plans to reunite the group. Internally, the stable is considered finished, though that doesn’t completely rule out the possibility of future collaborations Instead, there’s still a chance the Damage CTRL name could return “if the right opportunity arises,” one source noted.

    Damage CTRL had a memorable run marked by chaos, championship gold, and a strong presence among WWE\’s women. Now, their time on top has ended, not with a bang, but with a quiet farewell.

    AEW President Tony Khan paid tribute to his father Shad, sharing an image of the pair enjoying glasses of champagne.

    And Charlotte Flair paid tribute to her iconic father, which earned a response by the Dirtiest Player in the Game.

    Happy Father\’s Day to all the dads from all of us here at SEScoops.

  • Cora Jade Is Dead: Elayna Black Erases Her WWE Past

    Elayna Black has made it clear that Cora Jade is gone for good. Fresh off her first post-WWE match at Pro Wrestling REVOLVER on June 14, Black shared a video on social media. In it, Black destroyed visual remnants of her former identity, including the skateboard synonymous with her earlier WWE career.

    Black\’s video comes after her unexpected WWE release in May 2025. While many saw big things in Black\’s future as part of the main roster, it wasn\’t meant to be. Black\’s frenemy Roxanne Perez, on the other hand, has thrived on the main roster and is making waves in the Queen of the Ring tournament.

    Now, Elayna Black returns to the independent circuit, fully reclaiming her original identity—and making it clear she’s doing things on her own terms. With the past behind her, she\’s forging a new path forward without looking back.

  • WWE Icon The Godfather Walks From Car Crash \’Without A Scratch\’

    WWE Hall of Famer The Godfather is lucky to be alive after surviving a serious car accident, and was able to walk away \”without a scratch.\” On Facebook, Godfather, real name Charles Wright, shared news of his unfortunate situation.

    “I definitely believe in the safety of a Dodge Ram. Rolled three times and both of us walked away without a scratch.”

    https://media.sescoops.com/uploads/2025/06/\"https://media.sescoops.com/uploads/2025/06/\"
    The Godfather was able to leave his Dodge Ram without a scratch.

    The Gadfather was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame though this was only one of Wright\’s WWE personas. Before becoming a fun-loving pimp, Wright worked as Kama, the ultimate fighting machine and as Papa Shango before that. In 2000, The Godfather became \’The Goodfather,\’ a member of the ultra-conservative pro-censorship group \’Right to Censor.\’ Wright has since shared that he hated his time as part of the faction.

    Wright was lucky to escape this accident but this situation could have been far worse. His ordeal goes to show the importance of keeping aware when traveling on the road.

  • Tiffany Stratton Vows \’Strap-ley\’ Will Return: I\’ll Get Rhea In Pink!

    Tiffany Stratton is focused on making \’Strap-ley\’ a thing on WWE TV, teasing that fans haven\’t seen the last of herself and Rhea Ripley as a unit. Speaking to Billboard, the WWE Women’s Champion, Stratton spoke about the popular idea of herself and Ripley as a duo, and teased a wardrobe change for \’Mami.\’

    “To me, Strapley is never over. She has a special place in my heart, and I’m going to try and make Rhea Ripley wear pink. It’s going to happen one day. I guarantee it.”

    Stratton and Ripley have teamed up just one time in WWE, that being on the October 7, 2024, edition of Monday Night Raw. On the night, the pair earned a DQ victory over Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.

    Ripley going pink would certainly be a different look for the Australian who\’s goth look has won over countless fans. As far as Tiffany Stratton is concerned though, Rhea embracing pink isn\’t a question of if, but when.

  • How A Kenny Omega Match Saved A Life, AEW Star Reacts

    Kenny Omega is heralded as one of the best wrestlers competing today, and one of his matches was able to pull one fan away from the abyss.

    On X, a clip was shared from Colt Cabana\’s Art of Wrestling podcast, in which a fan recalled being able to talk someone down from taking their own life. After noticing the individual was wearing a Bullet Club shirt, the caller talked about wrestling an an impending match between Omega and Kazuchika Okada. When the 16-year-old went to give the caller a \’Too Sweet\’ gesture, the caller pulled them away from the edge, saving their life.

    On X, Omega responded to the story. The AEW star shared that this was \”an incredible story\” and will \”cherish\” the positive role he played in saving somebody\’s life.

    This tale demonstrates the uniting force that pro wrestling can bring and provide light at the darkest of times. Omega, the AEW International Champion, will face Continental Champion Okada for the AEW Unified Championship at AEW All In: Texas on July 12.

  • Vince Russo Criticizes Wrestlers’ Social Media Use Amid Stalker Incidents

    An unfortunate truth of pro wrestling is that talent, most often women, are sometimes subject to stalkers and other forms of harrassment. In 2020, Sonya Deville was the victim of an attempted kidnapping while an alleged stalker targeting Liv Morgan was recently arrested.

    On the Wrestling Outlaws, Vince Russo weighed in on the situation surrounding Morgan. While Russo didn\’t excuse the alleged behavior, but argued that Morgan and others need to share some of \’the heat.\’

    \”I got to put the heat where the heat has to be, bro—they’re making themselves too accessible. They really are. On social media, they’re making themselves too accessible, bro. You’re talking about wackos—and bro, if you’re coming across as this nice-as-honey person, down-to-earth, bro, wackos are going to think they got a shot with you.\”

    These \’whackos\’ see these posts from women and believe they should visit training facilities to meet female talent, Russo added. He also made clear that he\’s not defending stalking but believes the female wrestlers need to be less enticing.

    \”They’ve got to stop putting themselves out there. Now, I’m not making excuses for these freaking crazies—they’re whack jobs, they’re crazy people. But bro, these women are presenting themselves beautiful, sexy, nice.\”

    Another issue Russo shared is his belief that women in wrestling today don\’t post a physical threat to stalkers and other \’whackos.\’ Russo argued that women in the past would not have problems like this.

    “Are you gonna stalk Jacqueline? Luna Vachon? Sherri Martel? You’re not gonna stalk these people because you’d be scared to death they’d kill you.\”

    Morgan is sadly one of several women to fall victim to alleged stalking. One can only hope that there will be a time when matters like these are a thing of the past.

  • Raj Dhesi Is \’Off to Tie The Knot\’ With Partner Priya

Dhesi took to Instagram to share the news, posting a couple of photos with his partner, Priya. In the caption, he revealed their wedding plans, writing, “Off to tie the knot! #ourbigfatdhesiwedding.”

    This is one of several posts from Dhesi hyping up his upcoming nuptials. After a post in late May which revealed that his wedding was one month away, the former Jinder Mahal shared a pre-wedding photoshoot where the couple posed in both traditional Indian attire and classic Western outfits.

    We here at SEScoops would like to wish Dhesi and his bride to be the very best on their upcoming nuptials.

  • Priscilla Kelly Clarifies Injury Scare After In-Ring Return

    Priscilla Kelly, known to WWE fans as Gigi Dolin, made her in-ring return at REVOLVER Cage of Horrors on June 14, but things did not go as planned. After a lull in the action, officials were forced to stop the match after Kelly appeared to suffer a leg injury mid-bout.

    In a post on X, Kelly explained that she experiences a recurring anatomical condition affecting her patella. The WWE NXT alum was pleased to share that this wasn\’t an injury in the traditional sense.

    The match was intended to signal the start of her post-WWE chapter, and despite the setback, fans are already looking forward to her continued journey. Kelly had been with WWE until early 2025 and became a two-time NXT Women\’s Tag Team Champion during her run. Her patella \’injury\’ highlights the physical toll wrestlers endure and the resilience it takes to keep moving forward.

  • AEW\’s Will Ospreay & Alex Windsor Announce Engagement

    AEW star Will Ospreay is officially off the market. On June 14, 2025, the wrestling standout announced his engagement to longtime partner and fellow wrestler Alex Windsor. Ospreay shared the news on X with a black-and-white photo of the couple’s hands, with a close-up of the engagement ring on Windsor’s finger.

    Their engagement comes after years of dating and Ospreay has often spoken about the importance of Windsor in his life. Ospreay has also spoken about how proud he is to be the stepfather of Windsor\’s son Harrison, who\’s biological father died years ago.

    Windsor recently announced that she had joined AEW, joining her husband-to-be in Tony Khan\’s promotion. We at SEScoops would like to congratulate the pair on this joyous occasion.

  • Carlito Is \’Back In Business\’ As WWE Deal Officially Ends

    Carlito is ready to work and compete anywhere now that his WWE contract is officially expired. In an Instagram post, Carlito confirmed the news that his deal has officially come to an end.

    Carlito\’s departure from WWE was confirmed in June 2025, but it was not a traditional release. Instead, Carlito shared that he had been informed that his contract would not be renewed when it expired, which is now the case.

    Returning to WWE in 2023, Carlito became part of the Judgment Day in 2024 but never held gold during this run. Now, the cool Superstar is ready to show his talents outside of the Sports Entertainment juggernaut.

  • AEW Star Closing In On Future As A Lawyer

    Outside of the ring, wrestlers hold all sorts of jobs, from political office to, in the case of Britt Baker, being a dentist. Now, AEW\’s Beast Mortos is ready to step out of the ring and into the court room as he is close to becoming a lawyer. On X, Mortos shared that he is nearing the end of his studies and is eager to take on cases.

    Mortos, previously known as Black Taurus, debuted for AEW in December 2023 and would debut for Ring of Honor that same month. A member of La Facción Ingobernable, Mortos has had several matches as part of both promotions. Mortos was part of the 2024 Continental Classic but finished with 0 points as part of the Blue League.

    With a future in law coming, Mortos\’ efforts demonstrate the value of a wrestler having an alternative source of income outside of the ring. While Mortos hopes to have many more years in the ring ahead of him, the minotauresque wrestler could be practicing in a court room near you one day soon.

  • John Cena Takes Aim At CM Punk\’s \’Hypocrisy\’ Ahead of Saudi Showdown

    Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena will put his gold on the line against CM Punk at Night of Champions, in perhaps the final chapter of the epic story between the two. On WWE SmackDown, Cena spoke at length about his future title match with the Best in the World. In one of his more scathing lines, Cena declared that \”If CM Punk really wants to take this, he has to admit to himself that he’s a hypocrite.”

    This line was a nod to Punk\’s upcoming appearance in Saudi Arabia despite his previous criticism of WWE\’s partnership with the nation. In an infamous X post from 2020, Punk told The Miz to \”Go suck a blood money covered d*** in Saudi Arabia you f***ing dork\” after a comment by The Miz Punk took as a slight at him. The pair reconciled backstage at a WWE Raw taping in 2023.

    Ironically, Cena himself also avoided Saudi Arabia events for years following the original event, the Greatest Royal Rumble in 2018. WWE\’s partnership with the nation has been met with backlash due to the nation\’s restrictive laws against women, LGBTQ+ people, and others. WWE has defended its presence in Saudi Arabia as intending to implement positive changes through the medium of Sports Entertainment.

    Five years after Punk labelled the benefits of this partnership as \’Blood Money,\’ the Chicago-Made star hopes to win gold in Saudi Arabia. It remains to be seen if Punk can be the one to dethrone the \’Unseen Seventeen.\’




  • UFC Icon Mark Kerr Shares Why WWE Run Never Happened

    Several UFC names have made their presence felt in WWE, including Ken Shamrock, Brock Lesnar, Matt Riddle, and Ronda Rousey. Speaking to the JAXXON podcast, UFC icon Mark Kerr shared why he never made the jump from the Octagon to the squared circle.

    \”I go \’I\’m making really good money fighting right now. Why would I go to pro wrestling?\’… [The Rock] was making $150,000 a year. He was on the road 325 days out of the year. He was paying to be on the road basically. If you do the math, you\’re making like, $400 a day, that\’s brutal.\”

    Kerr didn\’t make the jump to pro wrestling but did share that he had a meeting with Shane McMahon and Jim Ross to discuss making the move. It wasn\’t just money that sunk any hope of Kerr in WWE, as he was also wary of having to reinvent himself for a new career.

    \”Part of the conversation was there\’s no way to go from where I was to where I wanted to be without this developmental part, because they would have to see if they can even put me over as a character.\”

    Kerr never became a WWE Superstar, but WWE icon Dwayne \’The Rock\’ Johnson will play Kerr in the upcoming Smashing Machine biopic from A24. With Kerr having led an incredible life in and outside of the cage, fans are excited to see Johnson bring Kerr\’s life to the big screen in a role much different than his usual blockbuster status.

  • The New Day: No Team Deserves A Shot At Us, This Isn\’t Our Final Form

    Fans can expect the New Day to hold the World Tag Team Titles for a long time as they\’re in no hurry to put their gold on the line. Speaking in a WWE Digital Exclusive on YouTube, the pair shared that they won\’t be defending the gold until worthy challengers emerge. Xavier Woods said:

    \”No team is currently prepared to fight us for these…  if we kill their confidence, that kills their ability for growth. And if you\’re not growing, you\’re not living. If you\’re not living, you\’re dying, you\’re dead. And that\’s exactly what this division is when New Day is not holding these championships.\”

    Kofi Kingston added that while it may be hard to believe, the New Day works hard to \’cultivate\’ a positive tag team division in WWE. The problem, at least according to Kingston, is everybody else.

    \”Y\’all don\’t wanna hear that, but it\’s the truth, that is the truth…  you think that your favorite tag team deserves a chance to fight for these? Look, man, these teams can barely even keep it together. Every team right now is middle of the road, man. Middle of the pack, no team is better than the other.\”

    Kingston shared the bold declaration that \”this isn\’t even our final form,\” teasing further developments for the once-beloved tag team. Until that new form is revealed, don\’t expect many, if any, title matches, from the most decorated champions in WWE tag team history.

  • WWE SmackDown Makes History With Stipulation Action

  • Nixon Newell Details Car Crash She Was In Days After WWE Release

    Nixon Newell was released from WWE in late 2024, marking the second exit of the former Tegan Nox. Speaking to Busted Open Radio, Newell shared how losing her job was just the start of a very bad period in her life, both personally and professionally.

    \”Wrestling had to take a backseat for me. Like, literally within days of being released, I was in a massive car wreck. So I’d been dealing with that.\”

    As she recovered and contemplated her life post-WWE, wrestling was no longer the focus for Newell, something that was \”tough to admit.\” Now though, Newell is back and ready to make an impact.

    \”I’m taking the initiative—doing promos, taking pictures, putting myself back out there—doing everything I can to get the name Nixon Newell back in people’s minds.\”

    Newell has already made waves in several promotions since her release. With wrestling firmly back in the forefront of her life, Newell shared that she never plans on leaving this business.

    \”I see myself doing nothing but wrestling for the rest of my life. Whether that’s being an active wrestler, a producer, a trainer, a coach—whatever it is. Wrestling has been my life since I was 16. This is my 14th year in wrestling.\”

    Time will tell what Nixon Newell does next, but not even a car wreck or a release can keep her doing what she loves the most in this world.

  • Blake Monroe Pitches Selling Bathwater After WWE Debut

    Blake Monroe has arrived in WWE NXT and the Glamour is wasting no time in making an impression as part of the roster. When a fan on X joked that Monroe should sell the bathwater from her video vignette to fans in bars of soap, the former AEW Women\’s World Champion revealed that she has discussed this with WWE\’s higher ups.

    The idea was inspired by Sydney Sweeney, who is selling some of her bathwater that is infused into soap for fans ready to pay high prices. Sweeney\’s bars sold out in seconds with some resellers making as much as $2,000 on eBay per bar.

    Monroe revealed her new name during her soapy video vignette which took inspiration from music star Sabrina Carpenter. On the June 17, episode of WWE NXT, Monroe will make her WWE NXT arrival official with a contract signing. With Blake already setting her sights on the NXT Women\’s Championship, it remains to be seen if anyone crashes the proverbial party of her contract signing.
