Finn Balor posts image of busted up lip following WWE Raw match

Posted on by Rosanne Raphael

Finn Balor faced JD McDonagh in a singles match on the WWE Raw after Mania. During the bout, Balor’s lip was busted up, leaving him bloodied. 

Balor returned to his trimmed beard look and brought back his signature wrestling gear. He shared an Instagram post with a series of images from Raw and revealed the nasty lip trauma suffered during the match which required stitches. He captioned the post ‘We are so back’, referencing the old version of Balor has officially made a WWE comeback. 

At WWE WrestleMania, his Demon persona made an appearance for the first time in three years, and defeated Dominik Mysterio in a Street Fight match.

Balor was kicked out of The Judgment Day in March. There were numerous issues that led to the eventual split. The group’s frustration at his inability to capture the World Championship and refusing to assist Mysterio retain the Intercontinental Title against Penta on the March 2 episode of Raw, were key contributions. 

McDonagh, who was once Balor’s pupil in his wrestling school in Ireland, also turned his back which led to the Raw match. He also competed at WrestleMania 42 in a ladder match for the Intercontinental TItle which Penta retained. 

After Balor’s victory on Raw, Mysterio attacked him from behind indicating that their rivalry is far from over.

WWE touts business success of WrestleMania 42

Posted on by Joseph Currier

TKO has issued its annual press release touting the business success of WWE WrestleMania weekend.

Though down from recent heights, TKO says WrestleMania 42 was still among the highest-grossing events in company history. A gate figure was not provided, but the press release claims an attendance of 106,072 across the two nights. That’s down from the attendance number of 124,693 that WWE self-reported for WrestleMania 41 last year.

Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas hosted both WrestleMania 41 and 42. Returning to the same city so soon is likely one of the reasons for the year-over-year attendance drop, with high ticket prices also playing a factor. WWE President Nick Khan, when asked about there being a downtick in business metrics, said the decreases are small and pointed to how WWE has focused on building for the future over the past year.

In the press release, TKO said WrestleMania 42 had record or near-record performances in sponsorship, merchandise, and digital metrics:

  • WrestleMania 42 featured a record 32 marketing partners, including Snickers, 2K, Riyadh Season, Ram, DoorDash, Wingstop, Wheatley American Vodka, Minute Maid, The General Insurance, PepsiCo’s MUG Root Beer and Chumba Casino.
  • At WWE World, a five-day interactive fan experience in partnership with Fanatics, paid experience sales reached all-time highs. WWE World also featured a lounge for attendees who signed up for Club WWE, the recently announced Gold membership experience for fans.
  • Additionally, WrestleMania 42 set a new digital record, generating more than 1.3 billion views across all social platforms – up 18 percent from the record set at WrestleMania 41.

This was the first time WrestleMania aired on the ESPN app (in the United States). The first hour of each night was also simulcast on television. Full viewership is not available, but the press release highlighted the success of those TV simulcasts:

  • WrestleMania Saturday was the most-viewed telecast of the year on ESPN2, while WrestleMania Sunday was the most-viewed telecast of the entire weekend on ESPN.

WrestleMania won’t be back in the United States until at least 2028, with Saudi Arabia set to host WrestleMania 43 next year.

First trailer released for John Cena’s ‘Coyote vs. ACME’ movie

Posted on by Rosanne Raphael

John Cena confirmed the official trailer and release date for Coyote vs. ACME. The film was primarily filmed in New Mexico in 2022 but was shelved by Warner Bros. in late 2023. 

Cena tweeted that the movie is slated for release on August 28, and shared the trailer.

“The biggest cartoon court case ever! Coyote vs. ACME. In theaters August 28,” posted Cena. 

The 2D animated cum live-action film is centered around Wile E. Coyote suing the Acme Corporation for the many traps that backfired in his relentless pursuit of the Road Runner. Will Forte portrays Coyote’s lawyer, Kevin Avery, while Cena is Buddy Crane, a ruthless corporate attorney representing Acme Corporation.

The Looney Tunes project was allegedly shelved due to cost-cutting decisions by David Zaslav, CEO and President of Warner Bros. Discovery.

Last weekend, Cena hosted WWE WrestleMania 42, four months after his in-ring retirement. 

Bad News Brown’s widow says family will ‘cherish forever’ Hall of Fame induction

Posted on by Ian Carey

Helen Coage, the widow of Bad News Brown, has released a statement regarding her late husband’s induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Brown joined Sid Eudy as this year’s inductees into the Legacy Wing of the Hall of Fame. Similar to Eudy’s induction, Brown’s family did not make a speech or appear on stage, though they were shown in the audience.

Coage wrote on social media Monday that she knew the family would not be given a chance to speak and was simply happy that Brown was honored.

Coage wrote:

“I know many of you are unhappy about our family not being granted the opportunity to speak at the WWE induction of Bad New into the Legacy Hall of Fame. But from past inductees we all knew that was not going to happen, please don’t be bitter, please just be happy that he was given this honor. I am happy.

Had we been given the opportunity the speech would have been short… something like this

Good evening,

On behalf of our family, I want to thank WWE for this incredible honor. To see my husband inducted into the Legacy Hall of Fame is something we will cherish forever.

I also want to take a moment to thank Benjamin Brown and Holly Von Holtz for taking such good care of us through all of this. Your kindness and support have meant more than you know, and we are truly grateful.

To the fans—he loved you more than you may have realized. Now, he may have called you “beer-bellied sharecroppers” and “spineless cockroaches”… but that was the character. That was the show. Because outside that ring, he was the exact opposite—a devoted husband, a proud father, and a man with a big heart.

He gave everything he had to entertain, to connect, and to leave an impression that people would never forget.

His gimmick has been copied more than a few times by those who came after him… and in this business, that’s one of the highest forms of respect. It means what he created mattered. It meant something. And it lasted.

He truly left his mark—helping shape an era and even giving Hulk Hogan the name “Hollywood Hogan,” a name that became legendary in its own right.

Though he’s been gone for many years, his voice still echoes. In every cheer, every memory, every moment like this—he’s still here. And tonight, I know he would be so proud… not just of this honor, but of the family, the fans, and the legacy he leaves behind.

Thank you for remembering him. Thank you for honoring him. And from the bottom of my heart—thank you for never letting him be forgotten.”

Dave Meltzer addressed changes made to the Legacy Wing of the Hall of Fame in the March 30, 2026 edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Meltzer noted that the Legacy Wing now appears to be for honoring wrestlers who are no longer alive rather than those whose careers primarily took place prior to 1984.

Meltzer wrote:

“It appears this year it has changed as the legacy wing is honoring Vicious and Bad News, who were post-1984 WWF and would normally be in the regular version. It appears in this case it’s a way to honor those no longer alive and save time on a ceremony that starts at midnight Eastern time and has been criticized for going too long at times, as well as for inductions of some being terribly rushed at other times.”

Bret Hart: Hulk Hogan was a ‘good guy once upon a time,’ became a ‘backstabbing’ piece of sh*t

Posted on by Rosanne Raphael

Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan’s narratives of their conflict at WrestleMania IX is documented in Hulk Hogan: Real American. 

The third episode of the docuseries titled Hollywood Hogan discusses Hogan’s involvement after the WrestleMania IX main event, where he ran out to assist Hart after he lost the WWF Championship to Yokozuna. During the match, Mr. Fuji, Yokozuna’s manager, threw ceremonial salt in Hart’s eyes which led to his title loss. 

The narration in the docuseries swings back and forth between both men’s perspectives as they recount their sentiments on what transpired. 

Hart: “I remember walking up to him, I was like, ‘Hey Terry.’ I stood up with my hand out to shake his hand for about 30 seconds but he wouldn’t even look at me. He just kept talking to (Brutus) Beefcake.”

Hogan: “I can’t imagine doing that intentionally. Maybe I had an off day. Maybe I was drunk, maybe I was high. I don’t know. I don’t know what to tell you, but it wouldn’t have been intentional.”

Hart: “I knew right then and there. I was like ‘I’ve got the belt and I’ve got what he wants and I’m the enemy now.'”

Hogan: “I had that Hogan stroke back then. Me and Vince (McMahon) were just bonded at the hip and I could pull the plug on certain things and certain people.”

Hart: “That day I remember thinking what a step backwards. It was a whole different audience and they were liking me, not Hulk Hogan”

Hogan: “Bret got all up in my face and he got all riled up. I said, ‘What’s up with this guy? I thought he was a team player, man.’….Vince made the decision, it’s just one of those things.” 

Hart: “I said it’s going to backfire and it’s going to be really bad. ‘F*ck you’. Hulk came up with such a phoney, bullsh*t match. The kind of match that Hulk would dream up. Hogan came out like the hero. ‘Yeah, he’s my friend coming out to my rescue. Go get him Hulk. Go in there and win my belt. Win it for me’. It sucked. People would be going ‘Why did they do that to Bret Hart?’. He was a good guy once upon a time, but in the end he was a backstabbing, knife-wielding piece of sh*t.”

Earlier that night, Hogan teamed up with Brutus Beefcake to take on Ted Dibiase and Irwin R. Schyster for the WWF Tag Team Titles. 

After the main event, Hogan defeated Yokozuna in an impromptu match to become the new WWF Champion. His reign ended 70 days later by Yokozuna at King of the Ring in 1993. 

Hogan passed away on July 24, 2025 at the age of 71. His match against Andre The Giant at WrestleMania III was honored with the Immortal Moment Award at the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. 

Netflix documentary reveals how Triple H addressed Hulk Hogan’s death

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Netflix’s newly released Hulk Hogan documentary reveals how Paul “Triple H” Levesque handled the death of one of WWE’s biggest stars of all time.

In the last episode of the four-part series, there is a clip of Levesque addressing WWE staff backstage the day after Hogan’s death. Levesque indirectly acknowledged Hogan’s racism controversy but said the company was still going to remember what he meant to the industry, holding a 10-bell salute on that night’s SmackDown episode. He said if anyone did not want to participate in the tribute, they would face no issues for skipping it.

“All right, guys, welcome to Cleveland. Just before we get started, as I’m sure everyone is aware, unfortunate passing of Hulk Hogan yesterday,” Levesque said. “Hard to say there’s been a more influential figure, especially on the performing side. No one is perfect in life, and they had ups and downs, but we’re going to continue to remember Hulk Hogan as what he meant to this industry.

“His influence cannot be denied and it cannot be overstated. You could make an argument that we probably wouldn’t be sitting here today. This business might have gone the way of roller derby or some other sh*t that didn’t quite make it to the end. But here we are. So we’re going to start this show out tonight with a 10-bell salute with everybody on stage. I don’t think it needs to be said, but anybody that has an issue, does not want to be on that stage — no problem, no issue, no anything.”

WWE has continued to honor Hogan following his July 2025 passing. During WrestleMania weekend, a Hogan statue was unveiled at WWE World. The company then inducted Hogan vs. Andre the Giant from WrestleMania III into the Hall of Fame as this year’s Immortal Moment Award winner.

The “Hulk Hogan: Real American” docuseries also includes an interview with Cody Rhodes that was conducted at the July 25, 2025 SmackDown episode.

“I know it’s complicated,” Rhodes said about Hogan’s death. “I do, how everyone feels. But I think we all have to kind of wrestle with the idea that he’s gone. And there’s so many great things about ‘The Immortal’ Hulk Hogan. Can we focus on those?”

The final WWE appearance of Hogan’s career was at Raw’s Netflix premiere in January 2025, where Hogan was loudly booed by the crowd. Levesque said he was not surprised by the booing.

“Did I think he was going to be booed out of the building? Probably. Especially in LA. Right? Like, there’s just a different vibe there and a different mentality there,” Levesque said. “He’s made a lot of mistakes. For some people, he hasn’t necessarily always atoned for those mistakes. Or even the apologies were seen as hollow.”

At the end of the docuseries, there is a clip of Vince McMahon speaking at Hogan’s funeral and asking everyone to cheer for Hogan one last time.

Trish Stratus ‘blown away’ by WWE NXT star Sol Ruca

Posted on by Joseph Currier

WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus is impressed by what she’s seen from NXT’s Sol Ruca.

During WrestleMania weekend, SiriusXM spoke with Stratus and asked which current star makes her want to return for one more match. Stratus named Ruca as an opponent she’d be interested in facing, though any return for Stratus would be storyline-dependent.

“When I went to John Cena’s final match, I got to see Sol Ruca up close and personal — and I was blown away,” Stratus said. “A lot of great talent. It’s not just the talent, it’s the storyline, it’s the characters, so I need to think on that one a little bit.”

Ruca, Oba Femi, and Je’Von Evans were the NXT talent that WWE chose to spotlight on the undercard of Cena’s final match last December. At the show, Ruca picked up a win against Bayley.

On the post-WrestleMania 42 edition of Raw this Monday, Ruca was in action ahead of a potential full-fledged call-up to the main roster. Ruca then faced Zaria in a Last Woman Standing match on NXT, which ended with Ruca taking a scary looking fall as her head smashed off a table that did not break.

Stratus competed for WWE three times in 2025 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her debut. She remains open to a return if WWE has the right idea that would be interesting to the fans and help elevate her opponent.

SiriusXM also asked Lita and Kaitlyn who they’d want to face if they returned for one more match, with Lita naming IYO SKY and Kaitlyn naming AJ Lee.

Trick Williams talks WWE WrestleMania entrance, potential dream opponent

Posted on by Rosanne Raphael

Trick Williams not only made his WrestleMania debut in style but also defeated Sami Zayn to become the new United States Champion. The victory was not the only highlight of the event on Sunday, his entrance featuring a long train as part of his signature white mink coat, quickly became one of the most talked about moments. 

Williams told The Sportster that the coat weighed over 80 pounds and was a bit of a struggle to manage despite which he was elated with the response it received from the fans.

“There’s a moment when that doggone jacket got heavy. It was 80 pounds of mink coat, man. 80 pounds. That’s a lot. And 80 pounds over 100 yards felt like 200, 250. It was like a sled pull, but uh had to make sure I look good while I do it. But I was doing, man, the crowd was amazing. I love it.”

The interviewer asked him about plans to defend the title, specifically seeking his thoughts on Aleister Black as an opponent. Williams cited he was a veteran of the industry and is a dream opponent.

“I would love to (face) Aleister Black. I love his style. He’s a vet and he’s actually one of my dream opponents, man. And I really like him. It’s a good one.” 

Williams officially moved to SmackDown in January this year. And has had the fans backing ever since. He confronted Zayn about his backstage attitude which led to their WrestleMania rivalry. 

In March, Zayn ended Carmelo Hayes’ nearly three month title reign. It was to prove a point on his positioning in WWE and worthiness to be a part of WrestleMania. That same night, Nick Aldis informed him of his first title defense which turned out to be Williams at WrestleMania Sunday.

Following his win, Williams addressed whether he will continue the tradition of open challenges for the US Title. His intention is to make his title defense a spectacle rather than giving out free matches every week on SmackDown. 

Report: Talent share thoughts on security issues during WWE WrestleMania 42 weekend

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

WWE WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas is officially over; however, several concerns regarding security issues popped up soon after the PLE weekend.

According to a recent report by Fightful Select, several WWE stars raised their concerns about the lack of proper security at official talent hotels. When asked about the situation, several wrestlers responded to Fightful with, “What security?“

A WWE source claimed that certain fans crossed boundaries during meet-and-greet sessions, where they attempted to initiate hugs with the talents. This was strictly not encouraged, not just for personal reasons but also due to health factors.

Another wrestler claimed to believe that things were worsening because of the sky-high ticket prices set by WWE under TKO and Fanatics. The wrestler believes they are no longer financially accessible to fans who want to meet them and normally pay for meet and greets. The “inaccessible prices” could be a reason behind the fans getting aggressive.

“A lot of fans use their kids to get us to sign things,” a former WWE Champion said. “If we don’t, they put phones in our face and try to guilt trip us.” Another WWE superstar claimed, “It’s WrestleMania, and there are wrestling fans in town. What do people expect?“

Throughout the weekend, there were several security concerns, including Sean Waltman getting assaulted, Booker T getting filmed inside a bathroom, CM Punk’s heated fan altercation, Drew McIntyre voicing his opinion on fan behavior, Royce Keys protecting his personal space, and Damian Priest confronting a fan who refused to respect women’s wrestlers’ personal space. The incidents were not just limited to these few.

Talents across the board from multiple locker rooms unanimously agreed that WWE and TKO should provide on-site security to talents during major events when the wrestlers are staying at a centralized location. While wrestlers arrange for their own accommodations, WWE provides and takes care of hotels during bigger events like WrestleMania. Despite this, multiple WWE Superstars chose to stay at different locations to avoid the rush of fans. Fightful was told that it made arranging travel more difficult.

A WWE staff member jokingly said, “I think we should be allowed to superkick one annoying fan a day.” The overall sentiment amongst the talents is that TKO and WWE should spend the money to protect their talent, or instead start paying for the talent to get security themselves.

Another top women’s talent told Fightful, “It’s Vegas, we were fucked from the beginning. WWE never actually pre arranges good security . It’s like they wait until shit happens, then they do damage control or add security. We love the personal security teams, and they did as much as they could but hotel security was busy taking care of the problems you already have in Las Vegas.”

WWE has not yet officially shared a statement regarding the situation as of this writing.

WWE star Nikki Bella says Nia Jax did not injure her

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella has stated that she was not injured by Nia Jax.

Bella suffered an ankle injury on the March 27, 2026, episode of WWE SmackDown when she and Brie Bella competed against Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair in a tag-team match. Moments into the match, Bella suffered the injury but worked throughout the rest of the bout. She was also later involved in a post-match segment with Nia Jax and Lash Legend.

Shortly after her injury, fans online started speculating that Jax tossing Bella out of the ring caused her injury. However, denying the rumors, Bella recently opened up on the latest episode of the Nikki & Brie Show and defended Jax.

“What I want to clear up, because at first, Nia had gotten a lot of heat online and she actually helped me is when it came to the end of the match and the girls had to take us out, I knew at that point like I couldn’t even put weight on my foot at that point and I was in so much pain where I knew I was like, “Oh gosh, this is really bad,” and I knew what was about to happen, so when she came to take me out, I looked at her and I go, “Please no, my foot hurts so bad,” and she goes, “Wait, what?” And I’m like, “I can’t get thrown out. I need to step out,” so she helped me step out, but people made it like she injured me and I was like, “No, Nia actually really helped me in that moment,” because I don’t know what, I would have belly flopped on the ground if I got thrown because I knew I couldn’t put my feet down.”

She further opened up with more details on her injury as well as her MRI results. “The next morning before Brie and I go do media and then fly out, I go get an MRI, Brie and I do our media, and then we’re sitting, we get an aperol spritz, a nice little lunch before we have to catch our flight, and then I get the call,” Bella added.

“Which sometimes calls aren’t that quick after an MRI, so when I saw one of our doctors calling, I was like, “Oh gosh,” so I answer and they’re like, “Don’t know how you managed to do all of it,” and then just broke it down to me that I tore, sprained and fractured my ankle and they’re like, “You’re just gonna have to go straight to Birmingham, you can’t go home, and we’re gonna get you in surgery ASAP.”

Not looking forward to rushing her comeback, Bella now wants to focus on her recovery and longevity. Despite acknowledging her age, Bella now looks forward to competing in possibly her last WrestleMania in Saudi Arabia next year.

Paige reveals emotional reaction to getting cleared by WWE

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

At WWE WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, Paige made her WWE return and replaced the injured Nikki Bella in the women’s tag team titles match.

Paired with Brie Bella, the two proceeded to win the women’s tag team championships from Lash Legend, Nia Jax, Alexa Bliss, and Charlotte Flair.

Paige last wrestled in WWE in 2017 and suffered a neck injury that forced her to retire. Not cleared for in-action by WWE, Paige joined AEW in 2022 as Saraya. A former AEW Women’s World Champion there, Paige left the promotion in 2025. After months of absence, she made her WWE return in 2026.

On Instagram, Paige now revealed the immediate moment she found out about being cleared for an in-ring return by WWE. The video shows Paige sobbing and trying to control her emotions. She further talks about her journey and how long the road was before WWE cleared her. The video also received multiple positive comments from her WWE colleagues.

“The day I found out I was cleared to come home to [WWE]. What an emotional journey. Thank you [Gilbert Boyas] or being there and capturing this moment! It was a long road but man it was worth it!! Thank you everyone for the love since I returned, it means the absolute world to me,” she wrote.

While AEW allowed her to wrestle, WWE stopped all chances of her wrestling in 2017 due to injury concerns and moved her to a much more non-physical role. Battling all the adversities, Paige is now back as an in-ring competitor in WWE and is a champion too!

The Rock to adapt ‘Fighting With My Family’ into a stage musical

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

Years after the film’s release, The Rock is now set to adapt ‘Fighting With My Family’ into a stage musical.

In a report shared by The Hollywood Reporter, it was noted that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will team up with Stephen Merchant to adapt the life of WWE Superstar Paige into a stage musical. The original film was released in 2019, with British actress Florence Pugh playing Paige.

Directed by Merchant and produced by Johnson’s Seven Bucks Production, Merchant recently revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that he always considered the film a musical. “A young woman from the ‘chorus line’ fighting to get her big break, surrounded by theatrical, larger-than-life characters and huge sweeping emotions. I approached each wrestling match like it was a different dance number, building to a big show-stopping finale. Seeing the film reimagined for the stage feels like the natural next step.”

“Fighting With My Family is exceptionally well-suited for the stage. It’s packed with personal emotion expressed through the dynamic world of wrestling, which has always been about storytelling and connecting with a live audience. Working with Stephen Merchant on the film was a truly special experience, and his brilliant work deserves this new act. As it comes to life musically, I have no doubt it will be an absolute blast for theatergoers,” Johnson added.

The 53-year-old Johnson is next set to star in Jumanji 3 and the live-action version of Moana.

Drew McIntyre responds to fan behavior during WWE WrestleMania 42 week

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

Drew McIntyre has opened up regarding the fan behavior he received during the WWE WrestleMania 42 week.

WWE WrestleMania 42 recently took place in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the Superstars were met with different types of behavior from the fans. At the WrestleMania 42 weekend in Las Vegas, security concerns were reported by Fightful Select, Sean Waltman was assaulted, and even CM Punk got into a heated fan altercation. Now hours after the show, McIntyre has opened up on something similar.

Known for his outspoken nature, McIntyre took to social media to slam the disrespectful fans who “rushed” him and his family in Las Vegas. Although he also had a few kind words to share about the fans who displayed respect.

“For those fans who spent hard earned money on a chance to say hello, take a photo, have something signed, or give me one of my many, many bracelets, I appreciate each and every single one of you,” McIntyre said.

“To those who rushed my family and I in the hotel, kept your kids up till 2am throwing them in front of us, or shoved a camera in my face without asking, you’re lucky I’m a calm natured person outside the ring. Please don’t do that ever again.”

At WrestleMania 42, McIntyre faced and lost to Jacob Fatu in an unsanctioned match.
