Tiffany Stratton has had an impressive 2024 so far, continuing to make strides in her pro wrestling career. At a recent WWE house show in Cardiff, Wales, she had the opportunity to achieve a personal goal—though it came at the expense of a fan’s hopes.
During the show, Stratton participated in a match alongside Naomi. As she made her way to the ring, a fan in the audience held up a sign with a big question: a marriage proposal. As seen in the clip below, Stratton noticed the sign while walking down the entrance ramp.
A Heel’s Response
In true heel fashion, Stratton tore the fan’s sign apart and, without hesitation, informed him that she has a boyfriend. The WWE star is currently dating fellow wrestler Ludwig Kaiser, further driving home the point as she crushed the fan’s dream.
Stratton’s rise in WWE has been marked by major milestones, including her victory in the 2024 Money in the Bank ladder match. Since then, she has aligned herself with Women’s Champion Nia Jax. In recent months, Stratton has teased cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase on Jax, heightening tension within her ongoing feud with Bayley.
At the Bad Blood Premium Live Event, Stratton had another chance to cash in when a referee bump occurred during Jax’s match with Bayley. However, Jax quickly caught on to Stratton’s plan, causing Stratton to reconsider. In the end, Jax retained her title, defeating Bayley while Stratton bided her time for a future opportunity.
DELTA has officially signed with WWE and is set to make her debut on NXT later this month at Halloween Havoc on October 27. Now, with vignettes airing on NXT to hype her arrival, all eyes are on what the Australian powerhouse will bring to WWE’s developmental brand.
DELTA first caught WWE’s attention during their tryouts in February, held during Elimination Chamber week in Perth. After making a strong impression, she was given the opportunity to complete her scheduled matches in Australia before fully transitioning to WWE.
Like many new signings, DELTA will start her WWE journey in NXT, where the women’s division continues to thrive. Her signing comes on the heels of WWE securing other top-tier talents, including Stephanie Vaquer and reports of a deal with Giulia. This trio ushers in a new era for the brand’s women’s division, and creates countless fresh match-ups with the likes of NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez and North American Champion Kelani Jordan.
DELTA began her wrestling career in 2019, inspired by her older brother and fellow wrestler, Dean. Her in-ring debut came on December 31, 2020, when the siblings teamed up to defeat Cyden Cornell and Savannah Summers at Riot City Wrestling (RCW).
From there, DELTA’s star continued to rise. She debuted in Melbourne City Wrestling (MCW) in 2021 and quickly made her mark, capturing the RCW Tag Team Championships. She later secured the MCW Women’s Championship twice and became the first woman to hold both the MCW Intercommonwealth Title and the RCW Championship—breaking new ground in the process.
After her WWE tryout in February, DELTA challenged Jordynne Grace for the TNA Knockouts Championship at Oceania Pro Wrestling’s H.E.R. event in April. OPW kindly shared this match in its entirety, embedded below.
In July, she had an emotional farewell match in Australia, defeating her brother at RCW’s Heavy Is The Crown. DELTA now looks forward to the next stage of her career with WWE.
With vignettes already building anticipation for her debut, NXT Halloween Havoc is shaping up to be a can’t-miss event. WWE fans should be excited, but the rest of the women’s roster might want to spend extra time at the Performance Center and sharping their skills.
Get ready for @DELTABrady_'s @WWENXT debut by watching her intense clash with @JordynneGrace when OPW took over Ballarat earlier this year.
Jelly Roll believes WWE’s doing better than ever because they’re able to serve two masters at once.
The American Singer is a noted wrestling fan who has talked about his love for the business many times. He even made an appearance for WWE at SummerSlam 2023.
While appearing on Logan Paul’s Implaulsive podcast, the topic of wrestling was naturally brought up. The Grammy-nominated artist said that he’s truly a fan and explained that their storytelling is the best it’s ever been:
“Dude, I’m truly a fan, and I think the storytelling right now is probably the best it’s been in a long time—I think it’s the Best it’s been since the Cena era. And to see Cena coming back around, you know what I mean.
I think before that, it was the Attitude Era almost. It’s like I think we’re seeing; I would say wrestling’s bigger than it’s ever been right now. So it’s really fun.”
They’re Doing The Best They’ve Ever Done: Jelly Roll
The rap star went into depth to explain why the company is breaking record after record. He said that they’re able to keep people interested in a world of fast-paced storytelling while unfolding meaningful long-term stories at the same time:
“They are finding a way, the WWE to serve two masters: They’re serving that they’re keeping people engaged every single week and they’re keeping it fast cause the times need fast stories, but they’re also allowing bigger stories to develop over longer periods of times.
Watching The Bloodline develop over 36 months, for taking 3 WrestleManias for Cody to finish his story. But they kept us so engaged that we almost had forgot that we had been watching these big storylines play out. Cause they were giving us these fast nuggets that we needed for Instagram and TikTok too. So I think they’re doing the best they’ve ever done.”
Logan Paul also talked about a potential return to WWE during the same episode and he teased going up against a Bloodline member very soon.
Tonight’s edition of AEW Dynamite broadcasts live on TBS at 8/7c from the SAP Center in San Jose, CA. This episode will follow up on the explosive events of last Saturday’s WrestleDream pay-per-view, featuring the crowning of a new AEW World Champion an the surprise returns of MJF and Adam Cole.

Former NXT Champion Ethan Page has vowed to reclaim the coveted title after earning a title shot. On this week’s WWE NXT, Page defeated Je’Von Evans and Wes Lee in a triple threat match to earn a rematch at the brand’s top prize. In the final moments of the match, Evans tried to score the pinfall victory on Lee after hitting his Spinning Corkscrew Splash. However, Page snuck in a win by inning Evans with a roll-up.
Ethan Page vs. Trick Williams for the NXT Championship is now signed for NXT Halloween Havoc on Saturday, October 27. Since it’s a heated feud and a Halloween-themed show, the match will be held under Devil’s Playground rules (explained below).
“The Devil is Real“
Page was in a great mood after climbing his way back to the top of the mountain. He’s determined to hold the NXT Championship once more, and dropped a quote from none other than CM Punk to make his point.
“Number one contender, huh? Not too fond of that. Everyone else in this locker room would die to be called number one contender. Not me. I was so used to being called champ or the champ or champion. Face of the brand, even. Hell, I was walking around saying ‘Era of Ego’ and ‘NX-Me.’
“I plan on bringing all of those back to the repertoire, and it will happen. It’ll happen right after Devil’s Playground at Halloween Havoc. Some jackass once said, ‘The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was making you believe he didn’t exist.’ Tonight, I think I made Trick a believer. I promise you, the devil is real.”
Devil’s Playground Match
Devil’s Playground is a pro wrestling stipulation that can best be described as, anything goes. Think no-holds-barred, hardcore warfare:
No disqualifications: Weapons and outside interference allowed
No count-outs: Falls count anywhere
One fall to the finish: Pin, submission or referee stoppage
Trick Williams and Ethan Page have clashed multiple times in the past. Previously ‘All Ego’ had dethroned Williams at NXT Heatwave. Page had successfully defended his title against the likes of Dante Chen, Oro Mensah, and TNA Wrestling’s Joe Hendry during his reign. Page dropped the title to Williams earlier this month on the NXT on the CW premiere. Now, these two will clash one more time at NXT’s spookiest night of the year.

Alexa Bliss, known as the “Five Feet of Fury” in WWE, has captivated audiences with her in-ring prowess and charismatic personality. This article delves into various aspects of her life, including her personal relationships, body art, financial success, and recent developments.
Alexa Bliss is married to Ryan Cabrera, a well-known American musician. The celebrity couple tied the knot in 2022, marking a significant milestone in Bliss’s personal life.
Their union has been a topic of interest for fans and media alike, showcasing the intersection of professional wrestling and the music industry.
Family Background
Born to Angela Kauffman and Bob Kauffman, Alexa Bliss has an interesting family history. Her parents were teenagers when she was born, adding a unique dimension to her upbringing. Bliss also has a brother named Jason Kaufman, completing her immediate family circle.
Professional Career
WWE Achievements
Alexa Bliss has had a remarkable career in WWE, with multiple championship reigns to her name. Some of her notable accomplishments include:
Winning the Money in the Bank ladder match in 2018
Capturing the WWE Raw Women’s Championship by cashing in her Money in the Bank contract on the same night
Holding the SmackDown Women’s Championship multiple times
Her success in the ring has solidified her position as one of the top female wrestlers in the company.
Tattoos and Body Art
Alexa Bliss is known for her distinctive tattoos, which have become a part of her persona. While the exact number and details of all her tattoos are not publicly disclosed, we know of at least two significant pieces:
A white ink tattoo on her side that says “Love,” which she considers her favorite and has had for nearly a decade.
Two new tattoos she got in 2019, which she proudly showed off on social media.
These tattoos not only serve as personal expressions but also add to her unique look as a WWE Superstar.
Financial Success
Net Worth
Alexa Bliss’s success in WWE has translated into significant financial gains. As of 2024, her estimated net worth is reported to be around $4 million. This impressive figure is a testament to her various revenue streams, including her WWE salary, merchandise sales, and potentially other business ventures.
WWE Salary
While exact figures can fluctuate, reports suggest that Alexa Bliss earns approximately $300,000 per year from WWE as her base salary.
This places her among the well-compensated performers in the company, though not necessarily at the very top of the earnings list.
Recent Developments
Maternity Leave and Baby
As of 2024, Alexa Bliss is currently on maternity leave from WWE. This exciting new chapter in her life has temporarily paused her in-ring career but has undoubtedly brought joy to her personal life. The arrival of her baby marks a significant milestone for Bliss and her husband, Ryan Cabrera.
Physical Attributes
Height and Weight
Alexa Bliss is known for her compact and athletic build. She stands at 5’1″ (155 cm) tall and weighs approximately 102 lbs (46 kg).
Her small stature has earned her the nickname “Five Feet of Fury,” which she has embraced throughout her career.
Social Media Presence
Alexa Bliss maintains a strong social media presence, keeping her fans engaged and updated. Her verified accounts boast impressive followings:
WWE continues to push the boundaries of social media storytelling in the ongoing Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes feud with a new video from the former Universal Champion.
Owens posted the video on his Twitter account, mentioning that there have been a lot of questions about why he turned on Cody Rhodes after the Bad Blood PPV.
The former champion noted that people are judging him because of the attack. He blamed the company for not letting him tell his side of the story by cutting off his mic during his appearance on Friday’s SmackDown.
Kevin Owens then revealed that he even sent the company a video to explain his actions. He was hoping that the footage could air on Raw this past Monday and he is now giving them until Friday to do the right thing:
“Then over the weekend, I sent them a video that I hoped they would air on Raw last night, and they didn’t. Nobody could hear what I have to say. But of course, they had plenty of time for Cody to talk, but not for me. Look, the last thing I want to do is do this on social media because I hate it.
I’m giving them until Friday, this Friday on Smackdown, to air my video so that people could hear what I have to say. And if they don’t, then I guess I’ll post it here.”
The latest episode of SmackDown saw Kevin Owens interrupting the show before the scheduled Women’s Tag Team Title match. He tried to address the crowd but his mic was shut down. Cody Rhodes came out to confront him after that but the security stopped the WWE champion from reaching Owens.
When Randy Orton showed up to calm Kevin down, the latter ended up shoving The Viper accidentally. Orton then responded with a punch to his face.
Cody Rhodes was told to leave the arena after this and Randy looked to sort things out with his tag team partner. Orton, however, was also attacked by the former NXT Champion backstage later in the show.
Powerhouse Hobbs has confirmed the reports about him being cleared for action after his knee injury earlier this year. The heavyweight star was last seen wrestling Jon Moxley for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. The match took place on the April 24, 2024 episode of Dynamite. Hobbs not only lost the bout but also ended up sustaining the knee injury that has kept him out of action ever since.
“Ruptured my patellar tendon. A pretty gruesome injury. Me being me, I’ve been cleared. Healed up pretty fast. Got that Wolverine serum in me a little bit. I’m cleared. I’m back. It’s already been put out in the internet world that I’m cleared. Time to pick up where I left off,”
– Powerhouse Hobbs
With the unfortunate injury now behind him, the question of Powerhouse Hobbs’ return relies solely on the creative team coming up with something for the former TNT Champion to do.
The wew AEW World Champion Jon Moxley has been running rough shots in the company recently. Hobbs could seek retribution from Mox for injuring him and try to stop the momentum of the world champion in the process.
There is also the possibility of him getting involved with MVP’s Hurt Syndicate. The AEW star would make for a perfect friend or foe for Bobby Lashley who is expected to make his debut for Tony Khan’s promotion very soon.
Logan Paul is not only teasing a return to WWE but he is also suggesting that his next opponent might be the most unpredictable one yet.
The ever-controversial star has not been seen on WWE programming since he dropped the US Championship to LA Knight at SummerSlam 2024 on August 3. The loss marked the end of his 273-day-long reign with the belt.
The YouTube star talked about a potential return to the company during the most recent episode of his Impaulsive podcast. He was giving his thoughts on Bloodline’s Jacob Fatu, and said that he might be wrestling the former MLW star very soon:
“Very clear rising star. He’s one of the only guys who really stands out to me. I think everyone else sees it. While I recognize his greatness, part of me also thinks, he’s on my list.
I will be wrestling him in the near future and we’re going to be going at it. I sort of see him as competition. I promise you; we’re going to go fucking crazy. I don’t know when it’s going to happen, but it’s inevitable.”
– Logan Paul on an “inevitable” match against Jacob Fatu of The Bloodline
Jacob Fatu signed with WWE in April this year and made his debut for the Endeavor-owned promotion in June. Fatu has competed in a number of tag team matches since his debut. He even won the World Tag Championships for The Bloodline, while teaming with Tama Tonga during the August 2 SmackDown.
The Samoan Werewolf has not made his singles debut for the promotion yet, however, and a high-profile match against someone like Logan Paul would definitely make for an intriguing competition.
WWE’s Saudi shows are known for their big matches so the November 2 Crown Jewel PPV would make the perfect stage for this match.
Jordynne Grace is set to become a free agent earlier than first thought and it opens up the possibility for some very exciting developments for the female star’s career.
The Knockouts Champion signed a 2-year deal with her current employers when she returned to the company in August 2023.
This meant that Grace’s contract would have expired sometime in the Summer of 2025 but Fightful Select is now reporting that the current champion had her deal amended at some point and it now expires in January 2025.
The 28-year-old is not the only one whose deal is coming to an end at the time and her husband, Jonathan Gresham’s deal will reportedly also conclude around the same time.
While the exact date when Jordynne Grace’s contract expires is unknown, the January timeline will make it possible for her to make an appearance at the 2025 Royal Rumble event set for February 1 this time.
Grace has been a featured star on NXT in their extended partnership with TNA Wrestling and Gresham has also said to have made a good impression with WWE officials in the past.
This is not to say that Tony Khan or All Elite Wrestling would not be an interested party. Especially as WWE beat them to signing Stephanie Vaquer after her Forbidden Door 2023 match, the competing promotion would definitely be interested in further strengthening their female roster by bringing in a star such as Grace.
On a night that marked Stephanie Vaquer’s WWE NXT in-ring debut, she also set the stage for a major tag team match later this month. During this week’s episode of NXT, Vaquer scored a quick victory over Wren Sinclair, finishing the match with her signature move.
However, following the bout, Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade launched a surprise attack on Vaquer, only for Giulia to rush out and make the save. The confrontation escalated when Giulia challenged Perez and Jade to a tag team match at Halloween Havoc, which will take place at the GIANT Center in Hershey, PA, on Sunday, October 27, 2024.
The challenge followed Jade’s recent interference in Giulia’s attempt to win the NXT Women’s Championship from Perez.
Vaquer’s NXT debut had been highly anticipated after she made waves earlier this year. She first garnered WWE’s attention when she dropped the NJPW Strong Women’s Title to Mercedes Moné at Forbidden Door in June.
Vaquer then participated in WWE house shows in Mexico this past July, solidifying her status as a top prospect in the company.
Less than a week after announcing she was medically cleared, AEW star Thunder Rosa has made her in-ring return. Rosa had been sidelined for over a month, with her last match taking place on the August 31st edition of AEW Collision.
Rosa recently revealed that her absence was due to a concussion, addressing speculation that suggested other reasons. Now fully recovered, the former AEW Women’s Champion expressed her readiness to step back into the ring.
Rosa confirmed her medical clearance during a recent episode of Busted Open Radio, where she also expressed her gratitude to the AEW medical team for their support throughout her recovery.
Back in action
Wasting no time, Rosa returned to the ring on October 15 at Riot Cabaret Thunder Road, where she faced Nina Samuels in the main event. Rosa emerged victorious, winning the Riot Cabaret Women’s Championship.
Rosa should be back in the mix on Dynamite and Collision soon.
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has filed two new trademarks, hinting at an upcoming special edition of its Dynamite show. On October 15th, AEW submitted trademarks for “Fright Night Dynamite” and “AEW Fright Night Dynamite” with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, indicating plans for a Halloween-themed broadcast.
The trademarks are registered for entertainment purposes, with the description reading as follows:
“Entertainment in the nature of wrestling contests; Entertainment services in the nature of live professional wrestling performances; Entertainment services in the nature of production of professional wrestling programs and events; Entertainment services, namely, production and distribution of ongoing television programs in the field of professional wrestling.”
AEW is known for producing special holiday-themed episodes of Dynamite, and with Halloween falling on a Thursday this year, it seems likely that this will be the focus of an upcoming show. As of this writing, AEW has not officially confirmed the Fright Night Dynamite special, but an announcement could be imminent.
This week’s episode of Dynamite promises an action-packed card, following the recent WrestleDream event. Stay tuned for more updates, including the full match lineup.

The wrestling world is in mourning after the passing of former Ring of Honor COO Joe Koff. In August, he made the decision to discontinue treatment in order to enhance the quality of time he had left with his family. Mike Johnson of PW Insider reports that Koff had been privately battling cancer for some time. On behalf of SEScoops, we express our deepest condolences to Joe Koff’s family and friends.
MLW is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former Ring of Honor COO Joe Koff. On behalf of MLW, we extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.
Joe always led with honor, integrity, and a passion for the sport we all cherish. His legacy will live on in… pic.twitter.com/JNY7g2ILHG
Koff became Senior VP of Training and Development for Sinclair Broadcast Group in 2003, and became ROH’s COO when the company was purchased by Sinclair in 2011. As COO, Koff oversaw several major developments, including announcing a streaming service for the promotion in November 2017. The service, later named Honor Club, was unveiled on February 2, 2018, and launch on February 19.
While Koff joined ROH as part of the Sinclair deal, his involvement in the wrestling world was not merely business. A lifelong fan, Koff attended WWWF events with his father in the original Madison Square Garden. Decades later, it’d be the efforts of Koff and others that would bring ROH to the World’s Most Famous Arena for the G1 Supercard in April 2019. The show became the first non-WWE entity to run the arena in decades, a claim that stands to this day.
Koff’s time with ROH came to an end in 2022 when the promotion changed hands and was acquired by Tony Khan, but his love of wrestling continued long after that.

The wrestling world has been abuzz with speculation about Brock Lesnar’s potential return to WWE amid recent controversies and cryptic teases on RAW. This article delves into the latest developments surrounding the Beast Incarnate’s status with the company, the impact of the Vince McMahon lawsuit, and what fans can expect moving forward.
Recent RAW Teases
WWE has been dropping subtle hints about Lesnar’s possible comeback on recent episodes of Monday Night RAW. While the company has not explicitly mentioned Lesnar by name, several segments have featured references that longtime fans associate with the former UFC Heavyweight Champion.
Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins both alluded to Brock during the Monday, October 14th 2024 episode of RAW, and fans did not miss it:
They (WWE) mentioned Brock Lesnar’s nickname ‘THE BEAST’ not 1 but 2 times on Raw is not a coincidence.
The recent lawsuit filed against Vince McMahon has cast a shadow over Brock Lesnar’s WWE future. While Lesnar is not explicitly named in the legal documents, the allegations have implications for his status with the company.
Allegations and Implications
The lawsuit, filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant, alleges that McMahon shared explicit content with a “former UFC Heavyweight Champion and WWE talent” in 2021. This description has led many to speculate about Lesnar’s potential involvement, and he was named during the Netflix series Mr McMahon.
Despite the initial reaction, WWE’s Chief Content Officer Triple H has recently provided insight into Lesnar’s status with the company.
“Not Gone from WWE”
Following Night 1 of WrestleMania 40, Triple H stated that Brock Lesnar is “not gone from WWE” and is simply “home being Brock”. This comment suggests that the door remains open for Lesnar’s return, contrary to earlier speculation.
WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill are brimming with confidence and they want challengers to step up.
Belair and Cargill had reclaimed the tag team titles at WWE Bash In Berlin after defeating The Unholy Union (Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn). Since then they have defended their titles against the likes of former champs, The Unholy Union and Meta-Four (Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend). Last night on WWE Raw, they defeated Damage CTRL (Kairi Sane & IYO SKY) after Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson interfered.
Speaking on Raw Talk after Monday’s WWE Raw, Belair and Cargill were asked about Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson sticking their nose in their match.
Bianca Belair: “Listen, they came to SmackDown, and they put up a good fight, they really should have been proud of themselves. They did, but instead of going back to NXT and working on their skills and getting stronger and faster, they decided to to show up to Raw tonight and get in our business?”
Jade Cargill: “[They] embarrassed themselves if you asked me. They made enemies tonight out of IYO and Kairi. Out of everybody, why would you do that? But I love that for this tag team division.”
Belair: “I do. You know what, I love the confidence, I have to say that. But they’re making enemies. But you know what, it’s making this whole tag team division interesting.”
Cargill: “That’s what we were trying to do from the beginning. But these are our belts.”
Belair: “It is, but I love competition, so this is fun for me.”
Cargill: “We love competition. Like we said, Raw, SmackDown, NXT, come get it. We welcome it. Come apply, baby.”
Belair: “Everybody wants our titles.
Cargill: “Yes. Come to SmackDown and get that smack down.”
Belair: “Whoever want it. Raw, NXT, SmackDown.”
Damage CTRL recently became the latest challengers who were unsuccessful in dethroning Cargill and Belair. The final moments of the match saw the IYO SKY getting in a verbal spat with Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend who were ringside. Jackson pulled back her hair and Legend hit a big elbow to her face. When SKY got back inside the ring, Belair hit the KOD to get the pinfall victory.

R-Truth seemingly can’t get over the fact that he and The Miz are not friends anymore.
On last night’s edition of WWE Raw, R-Truth secured a victory over his former tag team partner The Miz. ‘The A-Lister’ was distracted after Karrion Kross and The Final Testament walked out to ringside. This gave Truth the advantage who capitalized and rolled him up for the win. The former WWE Champion was visibly angry with the outcome and launched a brutal attack on R- Truth following the match. In a Raw Exclusive, Cathy Kelley asked R-Truth about his victory over The Miz. Here is what he said:
“I’m looking for Miz, he’s supposed to be in my corner. I have a big match tonight.”
Cathy Kelley then said that Truth won the match, and The Miz was against him. Truth added:
“CK, I think you’re the one that’s confused. Me and Miz are friends, amigos, compadres, pals, bosom buddies, you feel me?”
Kelly then helped R-Truth remember that he got attacked following the match, and Truth asked her who did it. Kelly decided not to clarify and instead urged the ref to help him go to the medical facility.
Last month, R-Truth returned to the programming from an injury and teamed up with The Miz. They squared off against Authors of Pain. During the match, The Miz left Truth alone in the ring after hitting a big boot to his face. AOP capitalized on the situation and won the match. Following the match, the former one-half of the World Tag Team Champions broke his silence.
For weeks, Karrion Kross had been manipulating The Miz. The former WWE Champion has now embraced his darker side and has proven that he has close ties with The Final Testament.

Attorneys for Janel Grant filed a memorandum in Connecticut Superior Court on Tuesday in opposition to Dr. Carlon Colker and Peak Wellness to dismiss the bill of discovery complaint she filed in July.
Grant’s filing, a memorandum in law in opposition to plaintiff’s motion to dismiss, challenges several claims in Colker’s motion.
Grant’s memorandum in opposition claims McMahon was in contact with Colker during Grant’s treatment at Peak Wellness, from Nov. 22, 2019 to April 15, 2022.
The motion says the bill of discovery is necessary to see if there’s reason for Grant to file a suit against Colker and Peak Wellness in Connecticut Superior Court. It also reiterates claims from her bill of discovery complaint that Colker and Peak Wellness ignored requests for her electronic medical records and only sent incomplete forms on paper in violation of four different federal laws.
“Defendants (and Vince McMahon) have gone to great lengths to block Ms. Grant from accessing these documents relating to her own medical care,” the statement said.
Colker’s motion said. the bill of discovery complaint violated the stay requested by the FBI and other investigators in her civil case, which is paused until December. The judge in the federal civil case denied a motion to stop the bill of discovery complaint in federal court and said the court wasn’t the correct venue.
Grant’s counsel claims Colker’s attorney’s motion to dismiss was improperly filed and should have been a motion to strike; that Connecticut Superior Court has jurisdiction to hear the bill of discovery complaint; Grant’s bill of discovery has probable cause; McMahon, Laurinaitis and WWE are non-parties to the state action; any procedural issues mentioned by Colker’s counsel weren’t fact or have been fixed; Colker and Peak Wellness don’t dispute they were timely notified of the bill of discovery complaint; Connecticut precedent says courts should make every effort to adjudicate Grant’s action on its claims over procedural matters (Worth v. Picard).
“Ms. Grant filed this bill of discovery for the purpose of investigating potential claims of civil conspiracy, aiding and abetting, fraud, assault, battery, RICO, RICO conspiracy, and/or breach of fiduciary duty against Dr. Colker and Peak Wellness,” Grant’s motion said.
Grant filed the bill of discovery complaint in June claiming Colker and Peak Wellness refused to send her medical records and other information earlier this year for discovery in her federal civil suit against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis and World Wrestling Entertainment.
Colker and Peak Wellness filed a motion to dismiss the discovery complaint on Aug. 29 stating the discovery complaint wasn’t verified under Connecticut General Statute; the complaint is for a federal case and not a Connecticut state case; and Grant’s motion ignores “the very different and unique procedures for statutory bills of discovery.”
Colker and Peak Wellness counsel sent marshal to serve Grant personally
Grant’s motion of opposition states hours after the Federal judge refused to block her bill of discovery, Colker’s counsel had Grant served personally with their own bill of discovery instead of going through her counsel.
“In a move calculated to cause Ms. Grant extreme emotional distress, Defendants sent a marshal to effect personal service of their petition on Ms. Grant at her home, despite knowing she was represented by counsel,” the motion said.
Colker and Peak Wellness withdrew its bill of discovery after Grant’s counsel filed a motion to strike.
In press release, Grant’s counsel listed their discovery requests from Peak Wellness and Colker.
Ms. Grant’s electronic medical records, including all associated metadata;
Dr. Colker and Peak Wellness’ recordkeeping and billing procedures;
Payment records relating to Ms. Grant;
Dr. Colker and Peak Wellness’ payment arrangements with McMahon and/or WWE;
The purpose of Ms. Grant’s prescribed treatments;
The substance of Ms. Grant’s prescribed treatments;
Any communications between Dr. Colker and McMahon relating to Ms. Grant; and
Dr. Colker’s involvement in recommending Ms. Grant’s attorney for negotiation of the purported non-disclosure agreement.
“Imagine being at your most vulnerable, and the doctor you are told to see only makes you feel worse,” said Ann Callis, attorney for Janel Grant. “Our filing today makes clear that Dr. Colker violated ethical and medical standards when he injected unknown substances into Janel’s body and directed her to take unlabeled pills while dismissing her basic questions about those drugs. Peak Wellness owes Janel Grant answers and the clinic’s secrecy and evasion must come to an end.”
Callis, attorney Erica Nolan and SKDK firm spokesperson Kendra Barkoff Lemy will have a press call on Tuesday at 11 a.m.
The Godfather says he doesn’t remember much of what happened after Owen Hart’s tragic accident at the 1999 Over The Edge PPV.
The late star was supposed to be lowered down from the rafters through a grapple line for his entrance. Owen was set to challenge the WWE Hall of Famer for the Intercontinental Championship on the show. During the entrance, however, the quick-release mechanism of the grapple line failed and Hart fell to his death.
The Godfather talked about the unfortunate accident during a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet. The former WWE star said that he remembers spending the day with Owen and someone telling him that he fell during his entrance:
“I don’t remember. I remember spending the day with Owen. I remember talking with the girls and then Owen was coming out. I’ve never seen it. But when that happened, I was behind the curtain with the girls going through it. [I said] ‘Don’t worry if you mess up, if you fall, I’ll do this.’
I was telling them that then whoever it was, it might have been Bruce Prichard, I don’t know who was sitting at the table. I know it wasn’t Jim Ross. He goes ‘Owen fell!’ And then I’m like, what? He goes, ‘Owen just fell!’”
According to the wrestling veteran, he doesn’t remember much of what happened once he saw the body of Owen Hart. Everything after that is a blur to him:
“We were looking at the monitors and then it all went down. I just remembered what Owen looked like when he came through the curtain. And other than that, I don’t [remember]. I called my wife right away and she tells me a lot of things that I said that I don’t remember.
But she tells me you said this and you said that. And then I’m like well, I don’t remember that. So it was a blur after that. I don’t remember how or when I found out that there was no match or what’s going on. I really don’t remember.”
The Godfather also discussed being paired with Road Dogg for a match the next night on Raw and Vince McMahon telling them that they didn’t have to work if they didn’t want to. Both the wrestling stars, however, decided to smoke a joint together and wrestle the match to honor their friend.
The Undertaker also talked about wrestling on the PPV after Hart’s fall earlier this year. He detailed the locker room reaction to the whole incident saying that they were not ready to believe it. You can check out his comments on the matter here.
Since returning to WWE in the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble match, Chelsea Green has flexed her performing chops on TV, often with hilarious results. Recently, Green got down and dirty in a dumpster match with Michin on SmackDown but now the self-professed Hot Mess has an acting project in the works outside of the squared circle.
On Twitter/X, Green shared a photo from her first day on the set of Blue Ridge, where she will play the character of Shelby Hughes.
Blue Ridge premiered its first season in April of this year on the Cowboy Way Channel and on Amazon Freevee. The show follows Justin Wise (Johnathon Schaech), who takes up the role of Sherrif of a small town to be near his ex-wife and their daughter. Over the course of the show, it becomes clear that this small, quiet town harbors some dark secrets. The show is produced by INSP, who Green tagged in her post.
Acting Wrestlers
Green isn’t the only name in wrestling who has made a foray into acting in 2024. Earlier this year The Killer’s Game saw the feature film debut of Drew McIntyre who shared the screen alongside WWE alum Batista. More recently, AEW’s MJF has been filming scenes for Happy Gilmore 2 and is said to have a significant role in the Netflix-produced sequel to Adam Sandler’s comedy classic.
It remains to be seen what kind of role Shelby Hughes will be for Chelsea Green and whether this will open the door to future acting projects. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Chelsea Green and her foray into the world of acting.
