- Xavier Woods confirmed that he has signed a new WWE contract: “How do yall know this stuff? I didnt say anything! But yes. You’re gonna see my sexy face for a while longer even though you dont deserve it. 22 years in the game and about to make the next bit even better than the rest. @WWE”
- On ESPN’s Ahora o Nunca, Stephanie Vaquer reflected on winning the Women’s World Championship at Wrestlepalooza:
- It was the best [match] of my career so far, and the result of the match was the dream of my life.
- I’m proud because it wasn’t just a match for the most important championship, it was against one of the best in the world, Iyo Sky, someone I’ve admired for many years. So, the fact that I could compete for this title with her proved in the ring why we are both among the best in the world right now.
- It was very emotional to reach gorilla after the match and have everyone applaud and congratulate me, not just the producers and coaches, but the people I work with every day. Someone as important as Triple H, who for me is not only my boss but someone I’ve admired for a long time, not only as a wrestler but also as a businessman now in charge of the WWE family.

- On a new episode of her Close Up interview show, Renee Paquette spoke with AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander.
- Adam Cole is part of the voice cast for the new video game “Curiosity” from DarkBear Studios that launched on Steam and Steam Deck starting today. Here is how the game is described:
- In Curiosity, players embody a small but determined cat on a perilous climb home. Every leap requires precision, patience, and persistence: one mistake can send you tumbling down. With nine lives to spare (and consequences for losing them all), players must master every jump, uncover mysterious lore, and survive a journey that’s as emotional as it is demanding.
- Drawing inspiration from titles like Only Up and Getting Over It, Curiosity offers a modern evolution of the genre: combining the viral tension of vertical climbing games with a rich story; a hand-crafted world, and traditional platforming elements like secrets, collectibles, checkpoints, and even potential skips for the most daring players.
- Bandido vs. Hechicero for the ROH World Championship is set to air on this Thursday’s episode of ROH TV. The match is from a CMLL event that took place on October 3 and is a rematch of their highly praised Death Before Dishonor title bout.
- Sareee defending the IWGP Women’s Championship against Alex Windsor is among the other matches airing on Thursday’s ROH TV.
- Here is the lineup for Thursday’s Bound for Glory go-home edition of TNA Impact:
- TNA World Champion Trick Williams kicks off the show ahead of his Bound for Glory title defense against Mike Santana
- No DQ match: Joe Hendry vs. Eric Young
- Matt Cardona vs. Ryan Nemeth
- Mustafa Ali vs. JDC
- Bound for Glory contract signing with TNA Knockouts World Champion Kelani Jordan and Indi Hartwell
- On Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Scarlett Bordeaux said she felt WWE was “misogynistic” in how they handled her contract situation by saying that they would get to her new deal once Karrion Kross had sorted his contract out:
- One of the last questions before the 24-hour notice was given, [Kross] asked where I stood in all these contract negotiations. And they said, ‘We’ll get to her once we’re done with you,’ which I took as them using me as leverage against him. I do feel like if he agreed within the 24 hours that they would have offered me something, would it have been the same amount as it was before? Would it have been less? I don’t know. But all in all, it felt like a massive, massive red flag, and I did feel like it did come off a bit misogynistic, because originally I was hired before [Kross], and the idea that I have no value without him, and it’s only determined by whether or not he signs, that came off as very misogynistic to me.
