  • Shotzi Opens Up On WWE Exit: \’I Feel So Free\’

    Shotzi’s time with WWE has come to an end, and now the green-haired grappler is opening up about her departure. While speaking on Busted Open Radio, Shotzi acknowledged that her release came as a shock. Despite the unexpected news, she’s choosing to focus on the positives, saying the experience has left her feeling freer than ever before.

    \”I didn’t expect this, but I just feel so free, and I feel like this weight is lifted off me. I feel clarity and extremely motivated and excited for the future.\”

    Shotzi will have to wait out her 90-day non-compete clause with WWE before she can appear or wrestle for another promotion. But after being underutilized for much of her WWE run, a few more months on the sidelines seem manageable.

    \”I’m excited to get to work, since I’ve been sitting at home for what feels like the last two years. I’m just excited to get back at it.\”

    A former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion, Shotzi never captured gold on WWE’s main roster. Now, she\’s ready to take the world by storm outside the Sports Entertainment juggernaut.

  • Patrick Clark Ready For WWE Comeback & Apologies, Names Triple H

    Patrick Clark, aka Velveteen Dream, is ready for a grand return to WWE and also believes that an apology or two is in order. On May, Clark took to Instagram to respond to allegations against Mike \’Duke\’ Droese, who was indicted last week on one count of Attempted Aggravated Sexual Exploitation of a Minor. In his first slide, Clark argued that \”Let Me Be Very Clear: People Guilty of Child Crimes Don’t Get to Walk Around Free,\” something Clark is doing to this day. His second slide reads:

    “A LOT OF YOU OWE ME AN APOLOGY FOR DRAGGING ME THRU THE MUD. KNOWING 5 YEARS LATER HERE I STAND STILL FREE AND WITHOUT A SINGLE CHARGE. BUT I GET IT. IT’S VERY HARD FOR PEOPLE TO ADMIT WHEN THEY WERE WRONG AND MALICIOUS. BUT HEY THAT’S WRESTLING.”

    Clark was accused in 2020 of inappopriate conduct, including messages with minors. Though WWE claimed their investigation warranted no evidence, at least one person who accused Clark later said that WWE never reached out as part of their investigation.

    In another slide, Clark called for fans to rally for his return to WWE.

    \”IF YOU LOVE ME LIKE YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME, THE BOSS’ (HHH/HBK) PAY ATTENTION TO SOCIAL MEDIA. IT’S SIMPLE. #WeWantTheDREAM AND SPAM @TripleH @WWE. THEY WILL HEAR YOU! WE CAN MAKE ENOUGH NOISE TO DROWN OUT THE LIES AND THE HATE.\”

    It remains to be seen if Clark will get to return to WWE but the former NXT North American Champion is adamant that he be given a second chance.

  • Rhea Ripley Reflects on Injury-Struck 2024 and WWE Comeback

    Rhea Ripley has emerged as one of WWE’s top female stars in recent years, but 2024 brought significant challenges for the powerhouse known as \’Mami.\’ In an interview with World Wide of Sports, Ripley reflected on the injuries that disrupted her momentum.

    “I did a grade three AC sprain and then finally came back from that, which was so tough — not being able to do the things that I love. But I finally came back and got to go for my world championship again and try and grab that back, but then I broke my orbital bone.”

    These injuries marked a difficult period in Ripley’s career, bringing her reign as Women’s World Champion to an untimely end and keeping her out of action for much of the year. Despite the setbacks, she used her time away to focus on personal growth.

    “It was just injuries flying left and right. but I learned a lot about myself — that I can pretty much overcome whatever is in my way, and that’s such a strong thing to realise.”

    Now back in action, Ripley reclaimed the Women’s World Championship during Raw’s debut on Netflix. Although she is no longer champion, many believe another title run is on the horizon for the dominant Australian.

  • El Grande Americano Wins WWE Speed Title from Dragon Lee

    Mere weeks after his WWE debut, El Grande Americano is proving he\’s not to be overlooked—this time by capturing championship gold. During the May 7 edition of WWE Speed, the luchador won the WWE Speed Championship, ending Dragon Lee\’s reign in the process.

    With this victory, El Grande Americano becomes the fourth Superstar to hold the WWE Speed title, following in the footsteps of Ricochet, Andrade, and Lee. On X, El Grande shared a message with his supporters:

    \”I want to publicly thank the WWE Universe for the support they have given me on my journey to earn my FIRST WWE singles title! Even though I\’ve been doing this for 40 years or more, I\’ve been made to feel like this is all new to me. Let\’s celebrate!!\”

    Americano’s win wasn’t just a title victory—it marked yet another conquest over a fellow luchador. Since his \’debut\’ earlier this year, El Grande Americano has made it his mission to dismantle his masked rivals in WWE. At WrestleMania 41, he defeated Rey Fenix, who stepped in for the injured Rey Mysterio.

    It remains to be seen how far El Grande Americano can go as WWE Speed Champion. But after decades of being blacklisted by the lucha community, or so he claims, Americano has firmly planted his boots in WWE—and he’s not going anywhere.

    “I can’t just lay in bed all day. I’ve got to get up and be dad, enjoy that process, and be that for her.”

    Rollins’ perspective as a father extends beyond home life. Whether he\’s in the ring or training, his daughter remains at the forefront of his mind.

    \”The way I train is just so much different now than the way I did 5, 10 years ago. I’m not falling down nearly as much as I used to.\”

    Rollins balances wrestling and parenting alongside his wife, fellow WWE Superstar Becky Lynch. He praised Lynch as “the greatest of all time” and expressed gratitude for sharing the parenting journey with her.

    “We both gotta be up and at ’em for a little four-and-a-half-year-old because she [Roux] runs the house. That’s for sure.”

    While Roux is far too young to considering entering the squared circle just yet, her viral appearance at the WrestleMania 41 post-show captured fans\’ hearts. As for Rollins, he’s embracing his evolving responsibilities, both in the ring and at home.

  • The Miz Demands Tyrese Haliburton Match Over \’Stolen\’ Taunt

    The Miz has been a staple of WWE for two decades now and has faced countless opponents. Now, the WWE Grand Slam Champion is ready to go one-on-one with Tyrese Haliburton over a \’stolen\’ gesture.

    On X, The Miz shared an image of Haliburton, who during a match gestured that he had giant testicles. WWE\’s resident A-Lister said Haliburton was \”stealing my gimmick. In my city\” and demanded that a match with the Indiana Pacer gets booked.

    The Miz\’s groin has become something of a running joke on WWE TV. In June 2022, Maryse let slip that \”Just so you know my husband has average balls,\” earning her the ire of her husband. Maryse later claimed that \”My husband has gigantic balls… MASSIVE BALLS… HUGE BALLS…. Biggest balls in the world!!!\” After some razzing, Miz tried to defend himself with a unique piece of WWE merchandise.

    As for Haliburton, he\’s no stranger to WWE and has appeared both on the main roster and WWE NXT. With Haliburton being more than welcome by WWE management, don\’t count out the NBA star going face-to-face, or rather ball-to-ball with The Miz down the line.

  • Karrion Kross Drops \’Righteous\’ Tease After Team\’s AEW Exit

    Vincent and Dutch, collectively known as The Righteous, have departed AEW, and caught the attention of WWE\’s Karrion Kross. Following the duo\’s release from AEW, Kross shared a cryptic video clip featuring himself seated in a chair, gazing into the distance.

  • Dustin Rhodes Aiming For ROH World Title Run As Retirement Looms

    Cody Rhodes completed his story at WrestleMania 40, but could his brother Dustin Rhodes still have a World Championship reign in his future? Speaking to Sportskeeda\’s Bill Apter, the elder Rhodes made it clear that he hopes for at least a shot at ROH gold before his career concludes.

    \”Before I retire, which will probably be in two or three years, I do want a shot at the Ring of Honor World Title. I think I can get it.\”

  • Becky Lynch Slams Ageist Double Standards Among WWE\’s Roster

    Becky Lynch may call herself \’The Man,\’ but she\’s frustrated by a startling difference between herself and her male counterparts in WWE. During a recent appearance on the RAW Recap show, Lynch addressed the pressure to face new challengers in WWE, an issue that doesn\’t seem to affect the top men in the company.

    \”It seems to be harder on the women\’s division. Like, look at the men\’s — who do you got that\’s hot and young over there? None. You got a bunch of old lads beating each other up.\”

    Lynch didn\’t hold back, pointing out that while many believe she should step aside for younger female talent, no one is asking veterans like CM Punk or Seth Rollins to do the same. The outspoken superstar made it clear that the only moving she plans to do is toward capturing more championship gold.

    \”The only time I\’m gonna move over is to make way for more titles.\”

    Becky Lynch has her eyes firmly set on the Women\’s Intercontinental Championship and her upcoming match against Lyra Valkyria at WWE Backlash. Despite the decade age gap between the challenger and the champion, Lynch has no intention of stepping out of the spotlight anytime soon.

  • Shelton Benjamin: Hulk Hogan Lost Me After Dud \’Apology\’

    Hulk Hogan remains a controversial figure in wrestling, with many fans unwilling to forgive the Hulkster for his racist comments and other controversies. Taking to X, Shelton Benjamin recently shared the exact moment when Hogan \’lost\’ the Gold Standard.

    Benjamin\’s post refers to Hogan\’s return to WWE in 2018, three years after being fired for his inflammatory remarks. During a backstage meeting, Hogan reportedly warned talent to be careful about what they say in case they were being recorded without their knowledge. This sparked fresh backlash against Hogan, as many critics argued that he didn\’t truly regret his racist comments, but merely regretted getting caught.

    WWE has since avoided featuring Hogan on television following the hostile reception he received during Raw\’s debut on Netflix. While the Hulkster reportedly has plans to launch his own wrestling promotion, his days with the company he once dominated appear to be over for good.

  • WWE Icon Ready to Accept Logan Paul\’s $1M PRIME Costume Offer

    Rob Van Dam is instantly recognizable thanks to his colorful airbrushed singlets, but now the WWE Hall of Famer has teased a startling new look. While speaking on the 1 of a Kind podcast, RVD revealed he\’d be more than willing to wear Logan Paul\’s PRIME bottle costume for the substantial sum of $1 million.

    \”Yeah, call me. I mean, I just need my arms. I need space to pull my arms out. It\’d be a cool-looking battle. Yeah, it\’d be cool. Imagine giving a Van Terminator in that one.\”

    Van Dam\’s comments come after \’Stone Cold\’ Steve Austin turned down the same offer, according to Paul himself. During a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Austin confirmed that an offer had been made which he had to decline.

    \”That\’s not my gimmick. He\’s doing really well—obviously he\’s hustling… but it just wasn\’t a great fit for Steve Austin.\”

    RVD, on the other hand, sees this as a fun and lucrative opportunity he\’s not eager to pass up. Fans eagerly await the return of the WWE Hall of Famer to programming, and perhaps he\’ll be sporting the PRIME bottle costume during his next appearance.

  • Steve Austin Talks WWE Unreal: \’Some Magic Should Stay Hidden\’

    WWE Unreal will debut on Netflix this summer, offering fans an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at the creative process driving WWE programming. The upcoming series has sparked divided opinions—many fans eagerly anticipate the exclusive access, while others fear it might diminish wrestling\’s mystique by revealing too much of its inner workings.

    During his appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, \’Stone Cold\’ Steve Austin made it clear he belongs in the latter camp. Describing himself as \”a little old school,\” Austin compared WWE Unreal to legendary magician Harry Houdini explaining the secrets behind his illusions.

    \”I don\’t want him to tell me how he does it, I want to figure out how he does it. If I can\’t, then I\’ll keep wondering.\”

    Austin\’s perspective resonates with many longtime fans. Paul Heyman, speaking on The Pat McAfee Show, voiced similar reservations. Describing himself as \”very old school,\” Heyman admitted he isn\’t enthusiastic about the concept behind WWE Unreal. Nevertheless, he pragmatically acknowledged, \”It\’s not for me to love,\” and that the show will move forward regardless of his personal stance.

    Despite these concerns, WWE Unreal continues to build anticipation, with its trailer already revealing intriguing insights for both fans and performers alike. Just how extensively WWE plans to pull back the curtain on its storytelling process remains to be seen.

  • How A Long Island Wrestler Beat Cancer & Made it to WWE

    Sean Wachter spent years inside the wrestling business but his biggest fight came outside of the ring. Speaking to the New York Post, Wachter recalled being given just three months after doctors discovered stage 4 melanoma that later became a malignant brain tumor.

    “I had a massive stroke that was caused by the golf ball-sized tumor. I had a rare complication called leptomeningeal disease, where the cancer spreads to your spinal fluid.\”

    This fight with cancer came shortly after the independent wrestler suffered a construction work related accident which left him temporarily paralyzed. Fortunately, he had plenty of wrestling to watch and shared that \”It really helped me get through everything.\”

    Over the next three years, Wachter continued to battle cancer and had to learn how to walk again. In 2022, after beating his cancer, Wachter finally made his return to ring for a charity match to raise money for pediatric patients. His return was supposed to be a one-off until a chat with his daughter months later.

    “‘Daddy, I didn’t get to see you wrestle last summer.\’”I said, ‘Well, you need to go ask mommy. My wife came up to me and said ‘you get one more.\’”

    Wachter\’s one more match came at another charity event where the proceeds went to St. Jude\’s. In the summer of 2024 though, Wachter received a call from WWE who wanted to use him as an extra. Though not the role he was used to, Wachter relished the chance to play a NYPD officer on SmackDown inside Madison Square Garden.

    “The night before at 1 a.m. I went into my garage and started crying. This is something I wanted since I was a little boy, and thinking about where I was nine years ago, all just hit me.”

    After his SmackDown debut in his native New York, Wachter wanted to wrestle more. Unfortunately, a concussion and the return of his cancer, which he\’s beaten a second time, helped Wachter decide to stay out of the ring. Today, Wachter owns the New York Wrestling Connection production company, proving his worth in wrestling after an incredible journey.

  • Update on Alberto El Patron\’s Status With WWE

    Over the weekend, it was reported that WWE had signed several AAA stars to contracts, with Alberto El Patron\’s name appearing on the list. Now, additional details have emerged regarding the relationship between WWE and the former WWE World Champion.

    According to Luchablog, WWE has not directly offered a contract to El Patron, the controversial former World Champion. Instead, El Patron remains under contract with AAA, which has built its promotion around him over the past year. When WWE completes its acquisition of AAA, the Sports Entertainment juggernaut will assume responsibility for this existing contract.

    Luchablog further noted that no decisions about El Patron\’s future appear to have been made beyond this contractual transition. They emphasized that the deal between WWE and AAA is only weeks old, adding that there\’s \”a lot still being figured out.\”

    Lucha Blog editor Enesto Ocampo added some additional information:

    Alberto El Patron competed for years in WWE as Alberto Del Rio, but multiple controversies led many to believe he would never return to the company. In 2014, El Patron was released following a backstage altercation with a WWE employee. After being rehired in 2015, El Patron was released again in 2016 following Wellness Policy violations.

    Whether fans will see Alberto Del Rio on WWE television again remains to be seen. For now, Alberto El Patron will continue as a fixture in AAA programming, as he has not yet become a fully-fledged member of WWE\’s roster.

  • Darby Allin Breaks World Record on Mount Everest

    Darby Allin is currently climbing Mount Everest—and breaking records in the process. On social media, Allin shared footage of himself landing a kickflip at Camp Two. At 20,958 feet, this marks the highest elevation at which a kickflip has ever been performed.

    Allin’s Everest expedition is the latest high-risk stunt from the former AEW TNT Champion. He initially planned to begin the climb in 2024, but injuries delayed those plans. Though he won’t be wrestling on the mountain, Allin is proudly representing AEW and has said he intends to plant an All-Elite flag at the summit if he reaches the top.

    The 29,000-foot mountain is nothing to take lightly. According to Himalayan databases, over 320 people have died attempting to scale the mountain since records began. Allin has said that Sting tried to talk him out of the climb, but on this occasion, did not take his mentor\’s advice.

    Climbers who perish on the mountain are often left there, due to the risks related to removing the body, a sign of their dedication to climbing, and as a somber reminder to others of the dangers of nature. At over 20,000 feet, Allin is past halfway, and plans to do something over a small number of people will ever achieve.
