AEW Removed From Britt Baker’s Social Media Bios

0

Britt Baker was the first woman signed to an AEW talent contract in 2019 and for a while, was the top star of the women’s division. Baker’s days on top are now a distant memory, and her recent social media activity may have teased a bold move.

Baker has removed all references to AEW in her Instagram bio, distancing herself from the All-Elite promotion. On X, Baker’s bio is similarly AEW-free and makes reference to her role as a wrestler and a dentist.

Britt Baker Social Media

Baker’s alterations come amid an interesting time in the DMD’s career. Baker hasn’t competed since November 2024, and has competed just five times over the past year. Baker remains active on social media though rarely makes reference to AEW.

Interestingly, her latest reference to AEW on social media saw her throw support behind Saraya following the British wrestler’s exit from AEW.

Baker’s absence has left fans wondering as to whether her time with AEW may also be coming to an end. In January, Chris Jericho cast doubt on the idea that Baker will leave AEW, following reports of alleged heat on the former Women’s World Champion.

If Baker does end her time with AEW, fans can expect WWE to make an effort to sign Baker who could also see interest from promotions overseas such as STARDOM. Whatever’s next, Britt Baker remains a talking point among wrestling fans, even with her hiatus from AEW growing day-by-day.

Drew McIntyre Calls Infamous Post-Match Segment The ‘Worst Moment Of His Life’

0

Drew McIntyre has called the infamous post-match segment from the 2022 Clash at the Castle event the “worst moment of his life.” The former WWE Champion unsuccessfully challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at the historic UK stadium show.

The loss was a major disappointment for the largely pro-McIntyre crowd, but the segment that followed the match drew even more criticism. After the bout, McIntyre was joined in the ring by boxing legend Tyson Fury, and the two sang “American Pie” to the deflated audience.

During a recent interview with Cultaholic Wrestling, McIntyre did not hold back his feelings about the moment.

“I was so happy getting Clash in Wales and getting the first stadium show since SummerSlam 92’ and getting the main event,” McIntyre said. “I wasn’t happy getting s*rewed and the worst moment of my life singing that stupid song afterwards.”

McIntyre is currently off WWE television recovering from an elbow injury he suffered during a Steel Cage match in late May. There is no timetable for his return.

Kurt Angle Believes WWE Treated Him As A ‘Liability’ During 2017 Return

0

WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently revealed that he believes WWE viewed him as a “liability” when he made his celebrated return to the company in 2017. After an 11-year absence, Angle’s comeback was rolled out in a unique sequence that he feels was intentionally backward due to the company’s concerns.

Speaking with Inside the Ropes, Angle explained that instead of returning as a wrestler first, WWE started him with a Hall of Fame induction, then a run as the Raw General Manager, before finally allowing him to compete in the ring.

“What they did with me—especially—they felt like I was a liability. So they started with the Hall of Fame first, they wanted to start slow and easy,” Angle said. “They started with the Hall of Fame, then they went with the GM role second, and then I wrestled third. But in reality, it’s supposed to be the opposite. You wrestle first, you play the GM role second, then you get inducted into the Hall of Fame third.”

Angle concluded that the only reason he can think of for this cautious, “opposite” approach was the company’s perception of him at the time.

“They did the complete opposite with me. And I have no idea why, and I can only think it’s because I was a liability.”

Top AEW Star Injured

0

A new report has shed light on why former AEW Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter is once again absent from television. According to Fightful Select, Hayter is currently not medically cleared to compete, forcing a change in creative plans.

Hayter’s last appearance was on the Dynamite following the Double or Nothing pay-per-view, where she was written out of storylines via an attack by the debuting Thekla. The report notes that if Hayter were cleared, AEW would be using her on programming. Her absence has required the company to adjust the planned storyline for Thekla.

This is another unfortunate setback for Hayter, who missed over a year of action between 2023 and 2024 with two herniated discs in her back. She has previously stated that the severity of that injury made her believe her wrestling career might be over.

While there is currently no timetable for her return to the ring, AEW is hopeful she will be back soon.

Why Elayna Black Hopes Fans Never See Her Early WWE Matches

0

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 LivePC 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

0

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.

Cora Jade Is Dead: Elayna Black Erases Her WWE Past

0

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 NXT Star Returns To Action After Abrupt Removal From Faction

0

Brooks Jensen has returned to the ring for the first time since his shocking removal from “The Culling” faction. Jensen was in action at the WWE NXT live event in Dade City, Florida, on Saturday, June 14, where he defeated Performance Center athlete Jamar Hampton in a singles match.

This marks a new chapter for Jensen, who was abruptly kicked out of his group on the May 27 episode of NXT. During that show, Jensen was betrayed by his stablemates when Izzi Dame struck him from behind with a steel chair. The turn was a surprise to many fans, as Jensen had been presented as a loyal protege of the faction’s leader, Shawn Spears.

Following the attack, The Culling appeared on the next week’s episode of NXT without Jensen, solidifying his exit from the group and leaving his future uncertain.

His return to action at the live event signals the beginning of a new storyline, presumably as a babyface seeking revenge on his former allies. This first victory as a singles competitor sets the stage for a potential feud with Spears and the other members of The Culling on upcoming episodes of NXT television.

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

0

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.”

Godfather car crash
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!

0

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

0

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

0

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

0

Raj Dhesi has kept himself busy since his WWE departure—and not just in the wrestling world. On social media, the former WWE Champion shared that he will soon be a married man. 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.

0

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.

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.

Arianna Grace Ends TNA Run After Emotional Against All Odds Farewell

0

WWE NXT’s Arianna Grace has officially concluded her TNA Wrestling run following Against All Odds 2025, confirming her departure in emotional backstage footage that captured the genuine impact of her cross-promotional experience.

Grace Confirms TNA Departure in Emotional Moment

The confirmation came during Indi Hartwell’s vlog recorded at Against All Odds 2025, where Grace didn’t hide her emotions about leaving the promotion where she’d spent most of 2025 as the official NXT-TNA liaison.

“I would bawl right now, but it would ruin my makeup. I’m trying to keep it together,” Grace revealed when asked about her departure, showcasing the meaningful relationships she built during her time in TNA.

The Marella Family’s TNA Chapter Closes

Grace’s final TNA appearance came ringside supporting her father Santino Marella’s successful defense of his Director of Authority position against Robert Stone at Against All Odds. Throughout 2025, she became integral to Santino’s storylines while feuding with Robert Stone, Victoria Crawford, and Tessa Blanchard.

Grace originally debuted in TNA on September 5, 2024, as the official liaison between WWE’s NXT brand and TNA Wrestling. Her role extended beyond typical wrestling angles to include real family dynamics that created compelling television.

Back to NXT Full-Time

Grace has returned to WWE NXT, where she recently faced Tyra Mae Steele on the June 3 episode in what marked Steele’s NXT debut. Her TNA experience provided valuable cross-promotional exposure while maintaining her primary WWE developmental focus.

The door appears open for future TNA appearances, but Grace now shifts full attention back to her WWE career. Meanwhile, Indi Hartwell is heading to Australia to defend her Renegades of Wrestling Women’s Championship.

Another WWE Hall Of Famer Reportedly Returning To Television

0

WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus is reportedly set to return to television on next week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown. According to a report from WrestleVotes, the seven-time Women’s Champion will be back on the blue brand, likely to begin a storyline for the upcoming Evolution 2 all-women’s premium live event next month.

Stratus, who retired from full-time competition in 2006, has made several appearances in 2025. She competed in the Royal Rumble match and teamed with Tiffany Stratton to defeat Nia Jax and Candice LeRae at Elimination Chamber.

Her rumored return follows that of another Hall of Famer, Nikki Bella, who appeared on the June 9 edition of Raw. That segment saw Nikki confronted by Women’s Tag Team Champion Liv Morgan, ending with Nikki being laid out. Nikki later confirmed on social media she would be back on Raw for revenge.

“Annnnd still feeling that ObLIVion… Ooooh Bella Army I can’t wait for Green Bay this Monday!! So grateful for all of you!! It’s just the beginning!” Nikki posted on Instagram.

The return of multiple Hall of Famers suggests WWE is building a stacked card for the Evolution 2 event. There have been no reports of who Stratus could work with at the show.

WWE’s Highest-Paid Superstar Has Been Revealed

0

A new report has identified WWE’s highest-paid active superstar. According to Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Roman Reigns is the company’s top earner among the full-time roster.

This distinction excludes The Rock, who is compensated differently through TKO Group Holdings shares. The report notes that seven wrestlers in WWE currently earn over $5 million per year, with Reigns at the top of that list. His status as the highest earner is a direct result of his multi-year run as the face of the company, which included a historic 1,316-day reign as Universal Champion.

Reigns has been one of WWE’s top earners for several years, but he signed a new lucrative contract following WrestleMania 38 in 2022. This current deal is reportedly set to expire after WrestleMania 42 in 2026.

For context, Reigns’ salary is significantly higher than the current starting wage for a WWE main roster talent.

AEW Star Closing In On Future As A Lawyer

0

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.
