Latest On Rey Mysterio After WWE SmackDown Injury

During the April 19, edition of WWE SmackDown, Rey Mysterio’s road to WrestleMania 41 hit a major obstacle as he appeared to suffer an injury during a six-man tag-team match. During the match, Mysterio stopped being tagged in and was seen being tended to by WWE’s medical staff during and after the match.

Mysterio was seen limping after the match and being carried to the back, leaving many to speculate on an ankle or knee injury. In an update, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer shared that Rey suffered a torn groin during the match at SmackDown.

During the WrestleMania kick-off event, Rey Mysterio confirmed that he will not compete at the Showcase of the Immortals. As for his match with El Grande Americano, WWE’s controversial ‘luchador’ will instead battle Rey Fenix in the latter’s WrestleMania debut.

Mysterio’s injury could not have come at a worse time but demonstrates the risk every wrestler takes whenever they step foot in the ring. While Mysterio has plenty of WrestleMania moments to his name, this year’s event will come and go without the Hall of Famer.

Bayley Pulled From WWE WrestleMania

Another significant change has hit the WrestleMania 41 card as Bayley is now unable to compete. This development follows an backstage attack that occurred earlier today. 

Bayley was scheduled to team with Lyra Valkyria to challenge Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships on Sunday.  

WWE official Adam Pearce informed Lyra Valkyria that she has 24 hours to find a new tag team partner for the championship match. Current champions Morgan and Rodriguez claimed to have no knowledge of who was responsible for the attack on Bayley.

The wrestling world awaits to see who will team with Lyra Valkyria in this now altered Women’s Tag Team Championship match. Bayley and the Women’s Intercontinental Champion won a #1 contender’s match on Raw to earn this title match. 

This news comes shortly after Rey Mysterio was also announced to be missing WrestleMania 41 due to an injury sustained on SmackDown. His scheduled match against El Grande Americano will now see Rey Fenix step in as his replacement.

We extend our wishes for a speedy recovery to Bayley.

WWE NXT x AAA: Worlds Collide Set for June 7, 2025

WWE and AAA are teaming up for a major crossover event titled NXT x AAA: Worlds Collide, set for June 7, 2025, at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California.

This collaboration between WWE’s NXT and Mexico’s Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide marks a milestone in WWE’s ongoing expansion of international partnerships. It follows recent collaborations with TNA and Japan’s Pro Wrestling NOAH, reflecting a broader shift under Triple H’s leadership toward inter-promotional cooperation.

The event is expected to feature NXT stars facing off against AAA’s top luchadores in one of 2025’s most anticipated wrestling showcases. It remains unclear if other partner promotions like TNA will also be involved.

Held at the iconic Kia Forum, Worlds Collide continues WWE’s efforts to blur promotional boundaries and create unique opportunities for fans and talent worldwide. More details, including ticket sales and broadcast information, are expected soon.

WWE Acquires AAA in Landmark Expansion Into Mexican Wrestling

WWE has officially acquired Lucha Libre AAA, one of Mexico’s top wrestling promotions, in a major move to expand its presence in the Latin American market. The acquisition was announced on April 19, 2025, just ahead of WrestleMania 41.

This strategic acquisition continues WWE’s push into international partnerships, following earlier collaborations with TNA Wrestling, NOAH, and Marigold.

The Announcement

The news was shared by WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque, alongside AAA executives Marisela Peña and Dorian Roldán. Present at the announcement were top luchadores including Rey Mysterio, Stephanie Vaquer, Rey Fenix, PENTA, Andrade, El Hijo del Vikingo, and Santos Escobar.

“We’re ready to take Lucha Libre to the next level,” said Levesque, signaling a new era for AAA under the WWE banner.

Crossover Event: 

NXT x AAA: Worlds Collide

WWE revealed that the first joint event, NXT x AAA: Worlds Collide, will take place on June 7, 2025, at the KIA Forum in Los Angeles. This marks a revival of the Worlds Collide format, previously used for crossover events between NXT, NXT UK, and 205 Live.

Expanding Global Strategy

The acquisition reflects a broader shift in WWE’s approach under Triple H’s leadership, moving toward strategic partnerships across the wrestling industry. WWE has recently:

  • Formed a talent-sharing partnership with TNA Wrestling
  • Worked with Japanese promotions NOAH and Marigold
  • Collaborated with GCW on WWE ID programming
  • Launched the WWE Independent Development (ID) initiative

Securing AAA strengthens WWE’s presence in the Mexican market and intensifies its rivalry with AEW, which currently partners with AAA’s competitor, CMLL.

What It Means for the Industry

AAA, despite recent criticisms over its booking, remains a key player in the lucha libre scene. With this acquisition, WWE gains access to a deep roster of luchadores already familiar to international audiences. It also opens up new opportunities for crossover matches and expanded reach across Latin America.

NXT x AAA: Worlds Collide on June 7 will serve as the first major showcase of this new alliance, setting the tone for WWE’s continued global expansion.

The Rock Confirms Location Ahead of WWE WrestleMania 41

For months, fans have speculated on whether The Rock will appear at WrestleMania 41, likely as part of the main event of the show’s second night. Now, The Rock has made his location very clear though this may come as a disappointment to fans of the Final Boss.

On Instagram, The Rock shared a video confirming that he is currently in Hawaii, thousands of miles from Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium, the home of WrestleMania 41. With this post, The Rock has practically confirmed that he won’t be appearing, at least on the show’s first night.

Though The Rock won’t be appearing at WrestleMania: Saturday, it is not outside the realm of possibility that he could appearing at the Sunday portion of the event. With The Rock being instrumental in John Cena’s heel turn, fans remain excited at the prospect of the Final Boss playing a role in Cena’s Undisputed WWE Title match with Cody Rhodes.

WrestleMania 41 will be an electrifying event, with or without The Rock appearing. But with ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin being teased for the show’s second night, don’t count out the Rock despite his current location.

Update On Becky Lynch’s WWE WrestleMania 41 Status

Last June, Becky Lynch’s previous WWE contract concluded, leading to her taking a hiatus with the intention of a future return. Since then, numerous reports have circulated regarding her status with WWE.

While Lynch reportedly signed a new contract months ago, her on-screen return has yet to occur. She was recently seen alongside her husband, Seth Rollins, at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony.

According to PWInsider, the expectation within WWE is that Lynch will be physically involved at WrestleMania 41 this weekend. Furthermore, the report suggests that following WrestleMania, Lynch will be back on WWE programming, with her return stemming from “a big Mania moment.”

Lynch also participated in WWE’s media promotion for Raw on Netflix a few months prior at the Netflix headquarters. When questioned about the delay in her return, sources indicate that both Lynch and WWE were “waiting for the right creative” direction for her comeback.

Her last match before her hiatus was against Liv Morgan for the Women’s World Championship in May 2024. With WrestleMania 41 taking place this weekend in Las Vegas, the WWE Universe is eagerly anticipating the potential “big Mania moment” that will mark the return of “The Man” to WWE television.

AJ Styles: I Would Love To Wrestle One More Match At TNA

AJ Styles is interested in returning to his former home for one more match.

The Phenomenal One first became a big name in wrestling after joining TNA. Styles garnered a fan base in his decade-long run with the company, and it’s the place where he first proved himself to be a main eventer.

With the recent TNA-NXT partnership bringing a number of top TNA stars to WWE, a lot of fans have wondered if we can see some top WWE stars cross the Forbidden Door and make appearances for the Anthem-owned promotion, too.

The former TNA World Champion was asked about the possibility during a recent live signing. AJ Styles said that he’d love to have the opportunity to wrestle one more match in the promotion:

“I love it. You know, I still have a couple of friends there. I would love to have the opportunity to go back and wrestle at least one more match at TNA.”

The WWE star was later also asked which TNA name he would like to step in the ring with if given a chance and he mentioned Frankie Kazarian.

Kazarian had his longest TNA run around the same time as AJ. He had a stint with AEW between 2019 and 2023, but he has since returned to the promotion and been a featured talent for the company.

Liv Morgan Receives Big Praise From Recently Departed WWE Star

Liv Morgan has received big praise from one of her former co-workers.

The former Women’s World Champion has become one of WWE’s top stars in recent times. In absence of veterans such as Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Sasha Banks, Morgan has stepped up to become one of the leaders of the Women’s Division. Her feud with Rhea Ripley is one of the best stories WWE told in 2024.

Sonya Deville, who left WWE in February this year, was asked about Liv Morgan’s ascension during a recent interview with Denise Salcedo. She explained that with Morgan, real name Gionna Daddio, what you see is what you get:

“It’s kind of surreal because everyone that knew Gionna, Liv like I’ve known her for 10 years now. We always knew she had something special. She’s such a unique individual.

Talk about someone being unapologetically themselves. She doesn’t have a put on. There’s no versions of Gionna. She just is who she is unapologetically, and I think people gravitate towards that because people like realness, right?”

Deserves Every Ounce of It: Sonya Deville

The former WWE authority figure also discussed how Liv Morgan has never put anyone down while trying to bring herself up. Per Sonya Deville, this makes her very proud of everything Morgan has achieved:

“So she’s always had something unique about her, but watching her ascend to the top of the card, the top of the division, the company, and kind of take over is…I’ve never been so proud for someone.

She’s worked so hard for this. She’s wanted this so bad and she’s just gone about it all the right way. Just with good intentions. She didn’t step on anyone on the way up and she deserves every ounce of it. So I’m so proud of her.”

Dug His Own Grave: Seth Rollins Opens Up About Hulk Hogan’s Predicament

Seth Rollins believes Hulk Hogan is a victim of his own ego.

The WWE Hall of Famer is one name that has been missing from the festivities of WrestleMania. He wasn’t present at last night’s Hall of Fame event, and while Hulk is expected to be in the arena for WrestleMania 41, it’s highly unlikely that he’ll be shown on screen after his disastrous appearance at Raw’s Netflix premiere.

The Architect was asked about his thoughts on the Real American on the Outta Pocket podcast. Rollins reiterated his previous comments, saying that Hulk has always been nice to him, but noted that he is also aware of the reasons for which people hate him:

“Hogan’s always been great to me. He was a guy who I was a fan of when I was growing up. He’s always been personally good to me, but I’ve seen, I mean I’m not stupid I see everything that’s out there. He’s someone who is I think a victim of his own ego a little bit.

He just doesn’t see. He doesn’t understand how what he does affects people around him, you know? I think he just lives in this space that he’s created for himself. He shaped his worldview and this is how he’s gonna see things. I think if you’re going to be like that people are gonna treat you accordingly. I don’t know what to tell you. You know what I mean?”

That’s How It Is: Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins explained that he is not interested in being friends with someone who doesn’t respect other people. He suggested that Hulk Hogan is not able to appreciate the gravity of his mistakes because he refuses to look past his ego:

“It’s just like any other relationship, like dude if you are not a good person and it’s in your moral ethic to not treat everyone with the same respect regardless of what they do or where they come from or the color of their skin, I don’t, I got no time for you.

I got respect for everything you’ve done for my business. I really appreciate that, but as a person we’re probably not gonna hang out, dude. You know what I mean? That’s just is what it is. And I just don’t think he’s….whether he hasn’t changed his personal beliefs or he hasn’t taken the time to honestly make amends for some of the things he’s said and done. I don’t know which one it is.

Maybe it’s both. Maybe it’s one more than the other. I don’t know. But you put those two things together, I just go…. I mean you kinda have dug your own grave, man. So if you don’t feel like you wanna make that progress in your life with the people around you, then [you’re] just not the kind of person I wanna associate with. That’s how it is.”

Finn Balor: The Demon ‘Wasn’t Used As Effectively As I Would’ve Wished’

Fans haven’t witnessed Finn Balor’s “Demon” persona since WWE WrestleMania 39, where Edge defeated the Demon in a Hell in a Cell match.

Notably, after a dominant run in NXT with only a single loss as “The Demon,” this marked the second consecutive defeat for this alter ego. Appearing on The Ringer Wrestling Show, Balor spoke about how the gimmick was used in the past and wanted to go about it differently if it returns.

“I feel like there is a time and a place for The Demon and it hasn’t been right for probably a couple of years,” Finn Balor stated. “That’s something that needs to be fixed and addressed and something I want to go back to in the future. Right now, I don’t feel like, certainly this is the weekend for it. For whatever reason, it was kind of overused, a little bit. I don’t even know if overused is the right word, but it wasn’t used as effectively as I would have wished in the past. In the future, if we do it again, I would like to have more creative input in how it’s done, and I feel I’m in a good place now that I would be able to.”

Balor is now slated to challenge for the WWE Intercontinental Championship in a four-way match against Bron Breakker, Dominik Mysterio, and Penta at WWE WrestleMania 41.

D-Von Dudley Credits DDP Yoga For Dramatic Weight Loss

D-Von Dudley is feeling better than ever thanks to the work of DDP Yoga. In a moment with ‘Diamond’ Dallas Page at WrestleCon, D-Von shared that he’s lost 85lbs and that he “looks and feels great.” D-Von added that his body feels “phenomenal” and wants everyone to know the wonders of Page’s program.

“DDP Yoga was the best thing that ever happened to me. I go on Busted Open [Radio,] I go on my podcast and preach about it.”

Fans can add D-Von Dudley to the growing list of wrestling legends helped by Page and DDP Yoga. Page has worked closely with several troubled indivudals, including Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts, the late Scott Hall and Lex Luger, the latter of whom recently became a WWE Hall of Famer. Wrestling stars who have felt the effects of DDP Yoga include Mick Foley, Chris Jericho, and Shawn Michaels.

DDP’s success in the wrestling world has been matched by his giving nature as the WCW icon continues to help others to this day. Now, D-Von can look forward to many more years of healthy living thanks to Page and his efforts.

Former AEW Star Announces Retirement During WrestleMania Week

A former AEW star has announced his retirement from active competition.

Fuego Del Sol competed in a Mask vs. Career match against Atticus Cogar at GCW’s Joey Janela’s Spring Break 9 from Pearl Theatre at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas this Friday night. After losing the bout, the high-flying star not only removed his mask but he also left his boots in the ring, which is generally a sign of a talent stepping away from active competition.

The 29-year-old, real name KJ Orso, also posted an emotional message on social media with the video of his GCW match. He noted that he’d been chasing his dream but it’s now time for him to focus on his family:

“11 Years…Ups. Downs. Everything in between. I’ve been selfish and doing this for me. Now it’s time to focus on my family and feeding them. I left everything I had left in the ring…including my boots. From the bottom of my heart… Thank you all for everything. Fuego is Done.”

Fuego made his debut in 2014 and competed in the Oklahoma and Texas indie circuits for many years. During this time, he also made appearances for Impact Wrestling and WWE on occasion.

Del Sol made his AEW debut in 2020 and made regular appearances for the company throughout the pandemic era. A friend of Sammy Guevara, Fuego was offered a contract in 2021. He stayed with the promotion for 2 years before announcing his departure in 2023.

Triple H Praises Vince McMahon Despite ‘Complicated Story’ of Ex-WWE Head

At the WWE Hall of Fame, Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque received his second ring, this time for his role as a singles Superstar. Addressing the proverbial elephant in the room, Levesque highlighted the role of his father-in-law Vince McMahon in shaping his WWE legacy.

“It’s a complicated story and a complicated relationship, but it so many ways I would not be here without him.”

Levesque explained that McMahon’s involvement in his career goes far beyond what fans have seen on TV. Instead, it was McMahon who first saw the spark in Levesque of a future WWE Chief Content Officer.

“He’s the one that saw something in me creatively, invited me to those production meetings, taught me, let me sit under that learning tree and encouraged me.”

McMahon resigned from WWE in January 2024 though has refuted all allegations made by Janel Grant in her lawsuit. McMahon has insisted that their relationship was consensual though his efforts to compel the matter into arbitration have been unsuccessful thus far.

References to McMahon remain a rarity in WWE but have grown increasingly common. Cody Rhodes referenced McMahon in a promo with John Cena earlier this month, while Cena himself had far more pleasant words for the billionaire this week. Though McMahon is gone from WWE, his impact on those who know him best continues to be felt.

Brie Bella has revealed how her life with Bryan Danielson is changing as both their kids grow up.

The Bella Twins invited Sports Illustrated Model Jena Sims Koepka as a guest on the latest episode of their podcast. They talked about things such as balancing motherhood with their careers, fashion and more.

During the talk, Brie also discussed her sex life with husband Bryan Danielson. She claimed that they’re not the kind to make a schedule for such things:

“I feel like Bryan and I aren’t the types to be like, ‘Oh, on Wednesday.’ But he and I will say—this is so funny—he and I are like, ‘We should probably have sex tonight because I go out of town tomorrow.’”

Brie Bella then discussed how their two children, daughter Birdie and son Buddy, are now both going to school. She explained how this change has affected their sex life:

“Our daughter does a full day at school but our son just started to go later in the day, so we finally did it. After workout, we felt it and it was spontaneous and nice and we were like, ‘Are we gonna start to be day sex people?’ The kids are gone and it felt spontaneous. It felt like how it used to be. It was so nice.”

Bryan Danielson was last seen on AEW TV during the WrestleDream PPV in October last year where he dropped the AEW title to Jon Moxley and ended his full-time wrestling run. The wrestling veteran has since announced that he’ll be in attendance at the All In: Texas show on July 12, though he is not sure if he’ll be wrestling at the PPV.

Another Former WWE Star Could Be Returning Soon

A former WWE star could be returning to WWE as soon as this WrestleMania weekend.

Reports of Rusev aka Miro having signed a new WWE deal came out earlier this week and Big E later practically confirmed that the former AEW star will be returning to the promotion.

These reports have been followed up by speculations of Rusev’s wife and a former WWE star in her own right, Lana potentially joining her life partner in the return.

PWinsider provided an small update on her status recently noting that Lana also known as CJ Perry is currently in Las Vegas ahead of WrestleMania 41 and word is that she has signed a new legends deal with the company.

There is no word on how Rusev would be introduced back on WWE TV or if Lana will be accompanying him on his comeback to the Endeavor owned promotion.

Randy Orton has announced that he’ll be hosting an open challenge at WrestleMania 41. This comes after Kevin Owens had to pull out of their schedule match due to his neck injury.

While not confirmed, a WrestleMania return leading to a match and subsequent rivalry with the Viper seems to be the perfect way to reintroduce the former US Champion on WWE programming.

Whether it actually happens will only be revealed at the Show of Shows, but the possibility certainly makes things much more interesting.

Triple H Fights Back Tears, Thanks Fans & More At WWE Hall of Fame

Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque is now a two-time Hall of Famer, and while this induction was for his work as a singles star, his journey to Las Vegas was not a lonely one. In the final induction of the night, Levesque acknowledged the fan impact, not just on his career, but all careers.

“None of us are anything without you. I sure as hell am nothing without you. You have made this dream possible, whether you have loved me or hated me.”

It wasn’t just the fans who helped make Paul Levesque into WWE legend Triple H. As part of his induction, the Game credited names including Steve Austin, Mick Foley, Terry Taylor, and William Regal as among those who helped him during his WCW tenure.

Levesque then spoke about his time in Evolution. Fighting back tears as he discussed Randy Orton, and Batista, the Game shared that he learned just as much from the pair as they learned from him.

“You taught me the gift of giving back… to stand by your side to watch you become that, would light a fire within me to do that for others.”

Levesque reached the top of WWE but his journey was not one he made alone. Now as WWE’s CCO, Triple H is honored and humbled to be able to give back after so many gave to him.

Bret Hart & Steve Austin On What Made WrestleMania Clash So Special

At the WWE Hall of Fame, Bret Hart and Steve Austin’s classic from WrestleMania 13 was inducted as the first recipient of the ‘Immortal Moment’ award. Speaking to a packed audience in Las Vegas, Hart explained that one attitbute above all others made the match great: respect.

“That’s how you do magic in wrestling, when you have trust and respect. You can’t be a great wrestler without having that.”

Bret enjoyed having respect with a lot of wrestlers but said he never had more mutual trust and respect than what he and Stone Cold shared. Humbled by Hart’s comments, Austin admitted that he wasn’t sure the finish of the match would work at the time.

“I didn’t think much of it, I kinda doubted it…. We went out there and had a hell of a match.”

Though lauded among fans for decades, the bout was “basic and simple” according to Austin, who said that keeping matches to this winning formula will almost always guarantee success. Austin also made sure to thank Ken Shamrock for his involvement before sharing his issue with the World’s Most Dangerous Man.

“The only thing that p***ed me off is the sumb*tch is so jacked up! I mean hell, me and Bret look like s*** unlike Shamrock!”

For the first WWE Immortal Moment, there’s few matches more deserving than Hart and Austin. Nearly three decades later, the match has stood the test of time as two of wrestling’s all-time greats doing what they do best.

Michelle McCool Talks Silencing the Haters At WWE Hall of Fame

At the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, Michelle McCool used her time to give some pertient advice to those in attendance and watching worldwide. Reflecting on her career, McCool recalled being told by WWE higher-ups not to outshine the men of the roster.

“We were literally told ‘Pull your punches, they look too good.’ What do you even do that. I’ll tell you what I did. I kept my head down. I remained quiet and confident and I worked harder than ever before.”

McCool’s determination led to her being granted the first women’s Table match in WWE history, alongside Layla, Beth Phoenix, and Natalya. McCool refused to let herself become less than what she was capable of, a lesson that she hammered home during her speech.

“What you tolerate is what you validate and not every voice deserves your attention.”

McCool’s induction has proven controversial with some fans arguing that she is not worthy of the honor, claiming her induction stems from her relationship to The Undertaker. While McCool didn’t directly address this, she did share something she’s told herself a lot in recent weeks.

“Don’t let the noise around you, drown out the truth inside you because your calling is bigger than their commentary.”

McCool is proud of how far she’s come, from a Divas Search contest to a WWE Hall of Famer. And while some may continue to bawk at her induction, the former Divas and Women’s Champion is ready to stand tall among WWE’s greats.

Lex Luger On How A Walmart Trip Changed His View On Fans For Life

At the WWE Hall of Fame, Lex Luger stood proud to be inducted in front of a packed audience at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas hotel. While fans were thrilled to see Luger take his place as a WWE Hall of Famer, Lex recalled his initial view of wrestling fans.

“[I] wrestled, but didn’t really grow up watching wrestling. So I was a wrestler who didn’t really get the fans. I thought y’all were out of your minds. I thought you were crazy.”

Lex’s distance from fans would continue throughout his wrestling career. Years later during a, particularly low point in his life, Lex was asked to do a signing at a Walmart. Though Lex was disgusted by the idea of being reduced to a signing in a Wal-Mart, it was there that his attitude on fans changed dramatically.

“I had pretty much given up hope… the love and commotion that the fans showed me in that Wal-Mart, was absolutely amazing. It gave me hope. It gave me a light.”

Luger’s life has gone full-circle, from being a wrestler who wasn’t a fan to a huge wrestling fan whose days in the ring are behind him. Now, Lex Luger recognizes the importance of every single fan he meets, all thanks to one afternoon inside Wal-Mart.

Triple H Receives Statue At WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony

Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque is an unquestonable legend of WWE and now the promotion’s Chief Content Officer now has another accolade to his name. At the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, the Game was presented with a bronze statue.

Levesque was honored by the gift but did have some fun in this dramatic moment. Poking fun at a certain part of his face, Levesque joked that “they made the nose bigger than it is,” and suspected that “they had too much clay” when crafting the mold.

Levesque is the latest name in WWE to receive a statue. Others to receive the honor include:

  • 2013: Andre the Giant
  • 2014: Bruno Sammartino
  • 2015: The Ultimate Warrior
  • 2016: Dusty Rhodes
  • 2017: Ric Flair
  • 2019: ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper
  • 2022: The Undertaker
  • 2024: Bray Wyatt
  • 2025: Triple H

This statue adds another layer to an already emotional weekend for Levesque who will also receive his second WWE Hall of Fame ring. The Game is being celebrated for his efforts as a singles star by his best friend and arguaby his greatest rival: Shawn Michaels.

When the Hall of Fame is over, Levesque will turn his attention to WrestleMania 41 and producing a stacked two-nights of WWE’s biggest show of the year.

Update On Potential Donald Trump WrestleMania Appearance

WrestleMania 41 from Las Vegas is expected to feature a number of big non-wrestling names, but it appears that Donald Trump will not be one of them.

The businessman turned politician has a long history with the company. With The Show of Shows being held in the Sin City this year, the rumors of Trump making an appearance at the PLE have been rampant.

A new report from Fightful Select, however, casts doubt over it. They noted that the creative team has not been made aware of an appearance from the current US President. The additional security measures that would be required for the same have not been seen around the arena either:

“Regarding the possibility of Donald Trump appearing at WrestleMania after the heavy WWE endorsements this week, creative has not been told that it is happening, and we’ve not been told of anyone who has been informed to prepare for it. There are also additional security and planning measures that would need to be in place.”

The US President has taken part in WWE storylines over the years, and he was inducted into the celebrity wing of the Hall of Fame in 2013. He also made an appearance at UFC 314 earlier this month, which merged with the wrestling promotion under the TKO banner last year.

With Trump being known for his unpredictability, an appearance cannot be completely ruled out. Though it seems highly unlikely at this stage.

Becky Lynch Spotted At WWE Hall of Fame As Fans Await Return

Becky Lynch last wrestled for WWE in May 2024 and her contract expired with the promotion the following month. Despite Lynch reportedly re-signing with WWE in January 2025, fans have yet to see her make a return to the ring, raising questions about her future.

While Lynch remains MIA, at least in an official capacity, fans did spot the former Women’s World Champion during the WWE Hall of Fame 2025 ceremony. Not only did Lynch make a brief cameo appearance, but she did so behind one of her friends and greatest rivals, Charlotte Flair.

It’s not just at the WWE Hall of Fame where fans have been able to see Lynch, as a giant banner of one of the most popular female wrestlers of all time currently hangs at WWE World. This banner has only furthered speculation and rumors among fans that Lynch’s return will come sooner than later.

Lynch herself has said she is done with wrestling, at least for the time being, but fans know to never say never when it comes to returns. Was Lynch’s appearance behind Flair just a coincidence or the start of a revival of one of WWE’s biggest female feuds? Time will tell…

Logan Paul Already Has His (AI-Written) Hall of Fame Speech Ready

Logan Paul has only been signed to WWE for a handful of years, but the former U.S. Champion already sees himself as Hall of Fame worthy. Appearing at this year’s ceremony, Paul claimed that this year’s inductions were actually centered all around the Maverick.

“The fact that this is my third, fourth year wrestling and I’m already being inducted into the Hall of Fame is one of the greatest accomplishments of my life. I’m the youngest male to ever be inducted.”

Paul will not be inducted this year, but already has a speech ready for his day. While some wrestling legends agonize for months to get the right words to paper, Paul has a different approach.

“My speech is very good. I wrote it with ChatGPT. Whatever. Forewarning. It has a little AI in it.”

Paul has impressed since coming to WWE, even if his attitude both on and off-screen has rubbed many the wrong way. and if the Maverick can continue to succeed in wrestling, perhaps with more championships to his name, he may get to use this Hall of Fame speech afterall.

Watch: What Happened With John Cena After WrestleMania SmackDown Went Off Air

John Cena trolled the fans after this week’s WrestleMania go home SmackDown from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, went off the air.

The show featured the final build for a number of feuds heading into the biggest PPV of the year. The returning Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal opened the night with Carmelo Hayes picking up the victory by last eliminating Andrade.

Randy Orton confirmed that he’ll be holding an open challenge at the upcoming PPV while Seth Rollins cut a promo on his opponents, name-dropping Dean Ambrose during the segment.

We also saw WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio in action in a six-man tag team match. Unfortunately the high-flying star seemingly suffered an injury during the bout, putting his WrestleMania match in jeopardy.

What Happened After SmackDown

The main event segment was the final showdown between WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and his WrestleMania challenger John Cena.

After a heated exchange, Cena delivered a cheap shot to Cody and picked him up for an Attitude Adjustment. The WWE Champion however, countered. He delivered a Cross-Rhodes to Cena and it was Cody who stood tall to end the night.

The Cenation Leader stayed in the ring after the show went off air. He picked up the mic like he was going to cut a promo. Cena ultimately trolled the fans by not saying anything and walked out as Travis Scott’s FE!N played in the arena.
