Dax Harwood has explained why the upcoming Dynamite taping from Ashville is special.
The January 1 Dynamite: Fight For The Fallen special will mark the start of a new era for AEW. As part of their new TV deals, the show from Harrah’s Cherokee Center in Asheville, NC will be simulcasted on Max for the first time ever.
Harwood who hails from North Carolina himself explained why the taping is so special during a new interview with 3NTWrestling. He revealed that it’s the first entertainment show coming to the city after it was devastated by Hurricane Helene.
The AEW star noted that Khan could have taken the show to a bigger city to make a better impression on first-time watchers but helping Ashville was a priority for him. He went on to reveal how the AEW President had previously helped the relief efforts for survivors of the natural disaster on their one request:
“A lot of people don’t know this, but Tony called. We talked to Tony, myself and Adam [Copeland]. We talked to Tony. He said, ‘What do you need from me?’ He had already donated a ton of money.
Adam said, ‘Well, we’ve got these Starlinks. These huge Starlinks that they’ve donated here. Elon Musk has donated here, but we don’t have the small Starlinks to go out into the woods, to go out to the top of the mountains, so we can find people and give them cell service. So we can communicate with.’
Tony without any hesitancy, if that’s even a word, he sent hundreds of Starlinks to Asheville, North Carolina, on his own dime. He made sure that that was something we were able to do to find people who were lost.”
Dax Harwood also noted how his tag team partner Cash Wheeler had also set up a GoFundMe and collected over $70,000 to help the relief efforts at the time. Harwood himself was on the ground helping people at the time of need as well. He and Adam Copeland were assisting FEMA workers with search and rescue.
FTR have challenged Death Riders to a fight at the upcoming Dynamite episode and teased that they won’t be coming alone. While Dax did not provide any update on his mystery partner during the talk, the tease coincides perfectly with reports of a former world champion’s imminent return.
Charlotte Flair has been out of action for a whole year now but the 13-time Women’s champion is inching closer to her return per latest updates.
The Queen previously posted photos of in-ring training session at Shawn Spears and Tyler Breeze’s Flatbacks wrestling school. She posted another such photo recently, thanking NXT’s Lainey Reed for helping her prepare for an in-ring return.
In a further update, PWinsider is reporting that Flair is ‘on the cusp of officially returning’ following her injury. Apart from the in-ring work, Charlotte has made trips to WWE HQ for a photoshoot and other logistics work in preparation for her comeback.
Charlotte Flair tore her ACL, MCL, and meniscus in a match against Asuka at the tribute to the troops special of SmackDown on December 8, 2023.
This is the first time in her 12-year WWE run that the female star has had to stay out of action for more than a year. The hiatus also caused her to miss WrestleMania only the second time since being introduced to the main roster by Stephanie McMahon in 2015.
WWE has not set an official return date for the former champion but January 6 Netflix Raw premiere would be the perfect stage for Flair to make her comeback.
Ring of Honor Women’s World Champion Athena proved that she is indeed the ‘forever champion’ with another successful title defense at ROH Final Battle. In the show’s main event, Athena defended against her former ‘minion’ Billie Starkz, one year removed from the pair’s previous match for the title at Final Battle 2023.
You can check out some highlights of the match down below:
HERE WE GO! Who leaves the Hammerstein Ballroom with the #ROH Women's World Title held high?
With another victory to her name, the question remains: Who can stop the forever champion? Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Athena and her historic reign with the Ring of Honor Women’s World Championship.
Scott Steiner has revealed that another member of the Steiner family is planning to join the wrestling business at the right time.
ESPN recently caught up with the wrestling veteran during the StaffDNA Cure Bowl game between Jacksonville State and Ohio Bobcats. Steiner along with WWE IC Champion Bron Breakker, was there to support his son, the Jacksonville State wide receiver Brock Rechsteiner.
The former WWE star was asked about the potential of his son following his footsteps and joining the wrestling business. Answering the question, Scott confirmed that Brock is indeed interested in joining the sports entertainment world:
“Yeah, that’s the plan. That’s what he wants to do, so, whatever makes him happy.”
When asked about the secret of success in the pro wrestling world, Scott Steiner explained that you have to be a genetic freak like himself:
“Be a genetic freak like myself. Takes a lot of work you know. I did it for like 25 years, so it takes a while. It’ll be good. He’s a Steiner, so that helps out. But, he’s a good athlete, so the sky’s the limit for him.”
Brock’s cousin and the current Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker also played football before joining WWE. While attending Georgia’s Kennesaw State University, he played for the Kennesaw State Owls. He also entered the NFL drafts after graduation before beginning his pro wrestling career in 2020.
Chris Jericho may have retained his ROH World Championship at ROH Final Battle, but the champ didn’t have much time to celebrate. At Ring of Honor’s latest pay-per-view, Jericho arrived in style to the match, walking out with dancing women to Frank Sinatra’s New York, New York.
Ol' Blue Eyes (& the Nuevettes?) plays out the "King of New York"?
The match saw both men trade control, with Big Bill distracting the referee during a pin attempt by Cardona that should have sealed him the win. With the official occupied, Bryan Keith struck Cardona with the title, allowing for Jericho to get the win and retain.
After the match, The Learning Tree continued their assault on Cardona, until the returning Bandido made the save, the culmination of recent vignettes teasing his return. Bandido suffered a wrist injury in June 2023 and after undergoing surgery in July 2023, underwent a second surgery in December 2023.
This return certainly suggests that Bandido will be next in line for a shot at the ROH World Title. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest from Ring of Honor and the reign of Chris Jericho.
Cody Rhodes has made his first public appearance since being brutally attacked by his former friend Kevin Owens at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
The American Nightmare made an appearance at an event for Brandi Rhodes’ NakedMind Yoga & Pilates studio on Friday. Rhodes was seen wearing a neck brace and carrying the original WWE title in photos posted by fans:
For any WWE fans
Current Undisputed WWE Champion:
The American Nightmare & Atlanta’s very own — Cody Rhodes ?????@CodyRhodes
Rhodes had brought back the Winged Eagle belt for his title defense against Kevin Owens at the December 14 show. He retained the belt after delivering a Cross Rhodes to his opponent on a chair that Owens himself had introduced earlier in the bout.
Unhappy with the result, Owens attacked the WWE Champion after the show went off-air. He took Rhodes out with the banned package piledriver, leading to him being stretchered out of the arena.
Triple H confronted Kevin at the entrance ramp after this brutal attack but in the end, the former NXT Champion was able to leave the arena with the Winged Eagle belt.
Kevin Owens then infiltrated the WWE Raw on Netflix kickoff event earlier this week. Carrying the stolen belt, Owens declared himself the ‘true WWE Champion’ and vowed to defend the title at future shows.
Kevin Owens insists he hasn’t “snapped” yet, despite his shocking attack on Cody Rhodes at Saturday Night’s Main Event. After the event, Owens ambushed Rhodes, delivering a brutal package piledriver that left the American Nightmare incapacitated.
On this week’s episode of SmackDown, Owens delivered a backstage promo, prominently displaying the Winged Eagle Championship he seized from Rhodes. He declared that the title belongs to him, calling his controversial loss at Saturday Night’s Main Event a “tragedy.” Despite his actions, Owens claimed he hasn’t truly lost control, ominously warning that fans don’t want to see what happens if he does. He concluded his promo by placing blame on Rhodes, SmackDown GM Nick Aldis, and WWE officials for what comes next.
Cody Rhodes, meanwhile, has yet to return to competition following the attack. He was notably absent from this week’s Raw and was pulled from WWE’s Netflix launch event to sell his injuries. Rhodes also did not appear on this week’s SmackDown, which was pre-taped to give talent and crew time off for the holidays.
Owens’ comments suggest that his rivalry with Rhodes is far from over, with fans speculating about a potential title-vs.-title match between the two. For now, Owens appears committed to justifying his actions, and his veiled threats should leave WWE Superstars and officials on high alert.
Fifteen years after his last match for Ring of Honor (ROH), Nigel McGuinness made a dramatic in-ring return at this week’s Final Battle pay-per-view. McGuinness stepped up to answer Lee Moriarty’s open challenge for the Pure Championship. Despite a valiant effort, McGuinness fell short, with Moriarty securing the submission victory under Pure Rules.
McGuinness’ last ROH match took place in 2009 as part of the Final Countdown tour, where he faced Roderick Strong. This return also marked his first match since 2009 at the Hammerstein Ballroom, a venue where McGuinness had been undefeated until this week.
McGuinness initially retired from wrestling in 2011 due to health issues. However, he made his in-ring return in August 2024 at AEW All In: London. The following month, he squared off against Bryan Danielson during the Grand Slam edition of AEW Dynamite.
While McGuinness’ next steps in the ring remain uncertain, fans were ecstatic to witness his ROH comeback. Stay tuned to SEScoops for updates on the British wrestler’s future endeavors inside and outside the squared circle.
Danhausen has returned to ROH TV after a lengthy unexplained absence.
ROH presented the Final Battle 2024 PPV from the Hammerstein Ballroom this Friday night, December 20. The opening match of the night saw Atlantis Jr. taking on Mansoor of MxM Collection.
Mason Madden was in Mansoor’s corner for this bout and throughout the match he continued to interfere on his partner’s behalf. After several such instances, however, a man with a Danhausen mask emerged from underneath the ring to confront Madden.
The mysterious figure removed his mask to reveal the face of Danhausen. He went on to deliver a dick punch to Madden, allowing Atlantis Jr. to pick up the victory. Mason tried to attack the winner after the bout but Danhausen made the save again, stuffing teeth into the MxM Collection star’s mouth:
Danhausen had been absent from both AEW and ROH programming for a long time without explanation. The 34-year-old last wrestled for AEW at the 2023 Worlds End PPV and his last ROH match came in February this year.
The very evil star had continued to be active in the independent scene, making his absence from the Tony Khan-produced shows even more puzzling.
Now that he has returned to Ring of Honor, the big question is if we’ll see him back on AEW TV as well or if he’ll continue being featured on the streaming show exclusively.
WWE fans can look forward to an additional hour of weekly programming starting in the new year.
On Friday, the WWE website released an updated guide detailing how to watch Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and premium live events across various regions worldwide.
The section for SmackDown includes the first following description:
“SmackDown continues to air on USA Network every Friday night at 8/7 C in the U.S. At the start of 2025, SmackDown will expand to three hours starting with the Jan. 3 episode from Phoenix, Arizona.”
This marks the first time SmackDown will expand to three hours since its debut in 1999, making it a historic moment for the show.
WWE Raw reverted to a two-hour format in October 2024, over 14 years after it first expanded to three hours in July 2012.
SmackDown expanding to three hours highlights WWE’s strategy to differentiate its flagship shows. This move positions SmackDown as a broader platform for storytelling and talent development, including showcasing the new Women’s United States Championship held by Chelsea Green.
Mixed Reaction to the Change
Reactions on X to SmackDown expanding to three hours have been mixed:
Some fans see this as a positive change, anticipating more screen time for storylines like the Bloodline, as well as greater opportunities for the women’s division and underutilized talent.
Others are concerned that the current two-hour format already struggles with consistency, fearing the additional hour may lead to repetitive or diluted content.
Some also view this as a strategic business move, benefiting WWE and USA Network by increasing advertising opportunities.
Overall, fans are divided between optimism for more in-depth storytelling and skepticism about whether the roster can sustain the added time with compelling content.
Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest wrestling news ahead of the big changes in store for WWE Raw and SmackDown.
2024 has been a monumental year for WWE, offering fans a series of Premium Live Events (PLEs) that have captivated audiences worldwide. From shocking title changes to iconic rivalries and unforgettable matches, WWE’s creative direction under Triple H has delivered some of the most compelling content in recent memory.
This year also saw WWE’s continued global expansion, hosting events in Australia, Germany, and France. These international crowds brought unparalleled energy, elevating each event’s atmosphere to unforgettable levels.
Marquee events like WrestleMania XL, Royal Rumble, and SummerSlam provided historic moments and emotional climaxes, while smaller PLEs like Bash in Berlin and Backlash France offered surprising highlights. However, not every show reached its potential—some suffered from predictable outcomes, lackluster storylines, or uneven match quality.
In this ranking, we’ll evaluate all 12 WWE PLEs of 2024, from Survivor Series to WrestleMania XL, diving into their highs, lows, and what made each event truly stand out—or miss the mark. Here is our definitive ranking of every WWE PLE of 2024, from worst to best.
While WWE’s Saudi Arabia shows have steadily improved in quality, Crown Jewel 2024 failed to leave a lasting impression. Matches like Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther delivered in-ring quality, but the event lacked a defining moment to make it stand out. The absence of significant storyline progression or jaw-dropping surprises made this event feel like a stopgap rather than a must-watch show.
11. King and Queen of the Ring
The return of the King and Queen of the Ring tournament brought back a classic WWE concept, with Gunther and Nia Jax emerging as winners. However, the event fell flat outside the tournament matches, with an undercard that lacked energy and stakes. While the prestige of the tournament added some gravitas, it wasn’t enough to elevate this event above mediocrity.
10. Survivor Series: WarGames
The annual Survivor Series promised a thrilling night of WarGames matches, but inconsistent booking dragged it down. The women’s WarGames match suffered from disjointed storytelling, and while the men’s match brought excitement and hard-hitting action, it couldn’t salvage the rest of the event. With predictable outcomes and filler matches, this installment of Survivor Series felt like a missed opportunity.
9. Bad Blood
Hyped as the return of a classic PLE, Bad Blood 2024 delivered mixed results. The Hell in a Cell match between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre was an instant classic, showcasing brutal storytelling and physicality. Unfortunately, the rest of the card lacked depth, with few matches leaving a lasting impact. The overall lack of balance made this event feel underwhelming despite its marquee attraction.
8. Elimination Chamber: Perth
WWE’s foray into Perth, Australia, brought a solid Elimination Chamber event, with standout performances from Drew McIntyre and Becky Lynch, who triumphed in their respective Chamber matches. While the matches themselves were entertaining, the predictability of the outcomes dampened the overall excitement. The event succeeded in showcasing top-tier talent but fell short in delivering major surprises or fresh storylines.
7. Bash in Berlin
Bash in Berlin benefited from the electric energy of the German crowd, but the in-ring action was a mixed bag. Gunther vs. Randy Orton delivered a hard-hitting showcase, and CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre’s strap match brought grit and intensity. However, the rest of the card felt average, lacking the kind of marquee moments needed to elevate the event higher on this list.
6. Clash at the Castle: Scotland
Set against the passionate backdrop of a Scottish crowd, Clash at the Castle provided a memorable night of action. Highlights included Cody Rhodes battling AJ Styles in an emotionally charged I Quit match and CM Punk’s interference in Drew McIntyre’s World Heavyweight Title match, which created one of the night’s most dramatic moments. While the event had its lulls, the atmosphere and key matchups made it stand out.
5. Royal Rumble
The Royal Rumble once again proved why it’s a fan favorite, with Cody Rhodes and Bayley emerging as the respective Rumble match winners. Surprise appearances from Jade Cargill and Jordynne Grace injected fresh excitement into the event. While some of the non-Rumble matches didn’t reach the same level of buzz, the unpredictability and stakes of the Rumble bouts ensured this PLE started the year on a high note.
4. Money in the Bank
The ladder matches stole the show at Money in the Bank 2024, with Drew McIntyre and Tiffany Stratton claiming the coveted briefcases. Elsewhere, Sami Zayn’s defense against Bron Breakker added intensity to the evening. However, the main event failed to meet expectations, preventing this otherwise thrilling event from breaking into the top three.
3. SummerSlam
SummerSlam 2024 was a blockbuster event, delivering major twists and unforgettable moments. Dominik Mysterio’s shocking betrayal of Rhea Ripley was a storyline highlight, while Roman Reigns’ long-awaited return injected drama into the proceedings. Cody Rhodes successfully defending his title capped off a night filled with standout matches and surprises.
2. Backlash France
International shows can sometimes feel like filler, but Backlash 2024 in Lyon defied expectations. Cody Rhodes and AJ Styles put on a wrestling clinic, while Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill captured the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles in a high-energy bout. The raucous French crowd enhanced the atmosphere, making this a standout event that rivaled WWE’s biggest spectacles.
1. WrestleMania 40
The grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania 40, delivered everything fans could hope for over two nights. Cody Rhodes finally “finished the story” by dethroning Roman Reigns in an emotionally charged main event. Stellar women’s matches and shocking title changes made this WrestleMania feel historic. As always, the pageantry and star power of WWE’s flagship event ensured its place at the top of the rankings.
The landscape of professional wrestling is evolving rapidly, particularly with the growing influence of streaming services. As we approach 2025, fans can anticipate significant changes in how and where they watch their favorite wrestling promotions.
This article examines the streaming services that will feature professional wrestling content in 2025, spotlighting key developments from WWE and AEW.
How to watch
WWE on Netflix
Starting January 6, 2025, WWE will make a historic transition by moving its flagship show, RAW, to Netflix. This shift marks the first time in over 30 years that WWE programming will not air on traditional cable networks.
Additionally, fans in Europe can enjoy weekly episodes of WWE Raw and SmackDown, along with all Premium Live Events (PLEs) streamed live on the platform.
This move to Netflix is poised to revolutionize WWE’s accessibility, offering fans on-demand viewing while introducing professional wrestling to a broader audience.

Rey Misterio Sr, a legend of lucha libre and the uncle of WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio, has died. On X, news of Misterio’s passing was first shared by Lucha Libre AAA.
“We regret the sensitive death of Miguel Ángel López Días, known as Rey Mysterio Sr. We send our most sincere condolences to his loved ones and we raise our prayers to heaven for his eternal rest.”
Lamentamos el sensible fallecimiento de Miguel Ángel López Días, conocido como Rey Mysterio Sr.
Enviamos nuestro más sincero pésame a sus seres queridos y elevamos nuestras oraciones al cielo por su eterno descanso. pic.twitter.com/xnvqSndotS
Miguel Ángel López Díaz initially trained as a boxer before transitioning into professional wrestling as his physique developed. Known for his illustrious career in Mexico, Misterio also competed in the U.S., with notable performances such as at WCW Starrcade 1990, where he teamed with Konnan to reach the second round of a tag-team tournament.
Beyond his career in the ring, Misterio was instrumental in nurturing future wrestling stars. In 1987, he co-founded a gym alongside Negro Casas and Super Astro, training talents like Konnan, Psicosis, and his nephew, Rey Mysterio Jr. Misterio also ventured into acting, debuting in 2006 as the murderous luchador El Mascarado in WrestleManiac, directed by Jesse Baget.
Misterio Sr. will be remembered for his high-flying offense that dazzled fans for decades. We at SEScoops would like to extend our condolences to those who knew him at this sad time.

2025 is set to be a landmark year for WWE, with major events such as WrestleMania 41 and Raw’s highly anticipated move to Netflix. Adding to the excitement, next year will mark the end of John Cena’s legendary in-ring career, with his farewell tour extending far beyond the United States.
During a recent appearance on the Sports Business Journal Sports Media podcast, WWE EVP Chris Legentil revealed that Cena’s farewell tour will have a global reach.
“He’s gonna do a full year-long tour with us. And that’s gonna be worldwide… the opportunity for the people to see John Cena one last time all around the world is going to be quite powerful.”
Cena is already confirmed for WWE Elimination Chamber, set to take place on Saturday, March 1, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. While no other international Premium Live Events (PLEs) for 2025 have been officially announced, a substantial global tour during WrestleMania season has been confirmed.
No specific matches for Cena’s farewell tour have been announced yet, but the WWE locker room is buzzing with anticipation. Former rivals like Randy Orton and The Miz have expressed their eagerness to face Cena one last time. Meanwhile, reigning Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker has also thrown his hat in the ring, as a match with Cena could serve as an opportunity for the WWE legend to achieve the coveted Grand Slam.
Stay tuned to SEScoops for updates on John Cena’s farewell tour, which promises to take the WWE icon and Hollywood star across the globe for his final in-ring appearances.
Big E’s recent appearance on WWE Raw may have reignited fans’ hopes of seeing him return to the ring, but the former WWE Champion has yet to be medically cleared for in-ring competition. Speaking on The Mike Broomhead Show, Big E provided an update on his health, more than two years after his career-altering neck injury.
“I still haven’t been cleared. Thankfully, I feel great and don’t have any issues… I’m grateful to have no issues, no pain, nothing like that.”
Big E’s presence on the December 2 episode of Raw saw him attempt to mediate the growing rift between his New Day teammates, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. However, the duo turned on him, accusing Big E of not caring about the faction and ultimately ousting him from the group. While fans are hopeful that Big E will eventually exact revenge in the ring, his return hinges on receiving medical clearance.
Outside the squared circle, Big E has remained an active presence in WWE, contributing to pre-show and post-show panels for Premium Live Events. The former champion has also expressed contentment with the possibility that his in-ring career may be over, hinting at aspirations to serve as a talent scout for the promotion.
Still, fans yearn for Big E to deliver retribution against Kingston and Woods for their betrayal. For now though, that dream remains on hold as Big E continues to wait for the all-clear to return to physical action.

TNA X-Division Champion Moose has addressed the fake news that’s been going around about the Anthem-owned company the last few days.
The return of Tessa Blanchard to the company has garnered mixed reaction from fans and there have been all kind of rumors about how it has affected morale behind the scenes. Adding to the negativity was the rumor about the officials retiring the coveted X-Division title at the most recent TV tapings.
The current champion addressed both of these topics in a new X post calling them fake news. He urged the fans to tune in to AXS TV to find out the future of the TNA belt:
A lot of Fake News on Twitter.
1. X Division championship being retired
2. Bad morale in TNA locker room
Guys stop getting your news from twitter.
Regarding what’s going to happen to the X division championship tune in to @AXSTV Thursday at 8pm EST and order GENESIS…
The X Division championship was originally introduced back in October 2002 as a secondary title for the company. With names such as AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, and Kurt Angle being on the list of former champions, the title holds a special place in the history of the wrestling industry.
Tessa Blanchard exited TNA back in 2020 under mysterious circumstances. The company had terminated her contract and stripped her of the Impact World Title, resulting in all kind of rumors about her departure.
The former champion returned to the company during the Final Resolution PPV last week. She made a surprise appearance, targeting former Knockouts champion Jordynne Grace during her match with Rosemary.
‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio was robbed of his first big pay check by his own family.
The 20-year wrestling veteran recently detailed all the struggles of his childhood in an interview with No Contest Wrestling podcast. He mentioned how he had to grow up fending for himself on the hard streets of San Diego. Despite all the success of Rey Mysterio he only bought his son a BMW when Dom asked for a Mercedes.
His home life wasn’t any better and as per Dominik, his mother made him do hard labour like doing his own laundry without pay. Even when he went out and earned his keep, he never got to see any of that money:
“To make matters even worse when I did do stuff here in WWE for like SummerSlam and I ended up getting paid for that, I never knew where the money went. I need to talk to her about that.
I bought one bike and my mother said ‘Oh there goes your money’ and I said ‘I did three pay-per-views, how many weeks of TV and you’re telling me one bike is [it]…and I’m done?’ This wasn’t Toys R Us Prime. This was like a little off-the-rack bicycle. I’m pretty sure it still had the training wheels on.”
Dominik Mysterio made his official wrestling debut at the young age of 8 back in 2005. He was the center figure for the feud between Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio leading to their famous SummerSlam ladder match.
Apart from this, Dirty Dom also talked about things such as his reaction to the passing of his real dad Eddie Guerrero, being CM Punk’s first match after his WWE return and more. You can check out the full SummerSlam match below:
Sami Zayn has revealed why the Johnny Knoxville match may be his favorite of all time.
The Honorary Uce recently spoke to The Five Star podcast to promote the upcoming Raw tapings from Charlotte NC on February 17. He discussed things such as reuniting with The Bloodline, what the Netflix move means for WWE and more.
When the topic of his favorite match came up, Sami Zayn noted how he has been lucky to have many great matches throughout his career. The one match that stands out to him, however, is the WrestleMania 38 encounter with the Jackass star because they were able to defy all expectations:
“I’ve had a lot of really great matches that I’m really proud of. The Knoxville one jumps out at me because for so many reasons, I think. For starters expectations were low. Anytime you can take people on that kind of ride when they’re not really expecting to be taken on that kind of ride. To me that’s all wrestling really is.
It’s like a ride. An emotional ride, a ride of different reactions. It’s going left and it turns right and it’s up and it’s down and the next thing you know you’re just caught up in it. It’s a great feeling to be caught up in it.”
Sami Zayn noted how they were able to put together a really entertaining match that got them a standing ovation from a lot of fans. He is particularly proud of this performance because he was the only pro wrestler involved in the bout:
“I think that’s the remarkable thing that we were able to do in that match is get people completely caught up in what we were doing. Particularly proud of it because Johnny Knoxville is not a wrestler.
He went out there and to his credit, as much as I don’t like to give him credit for anything, he went out there at age 50 and put 20 minutes in at WrestleMania and had people on their feet. There’s [not a lot of] people on Earth that can do that. He was part of that. So very proud of that match.”
Apart from this, Sami Zayn also mentioned his matches against AEW’s Pac and Claudio Castagnoli as some of his favorite outings.
This week’s episode of WWE SmackDown was pre-taped at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut, following last week’s show. The decision to tape the episode in advance gives the WWE roster additional time off for the Christmas season.

For WWE fans, securing an autograph from their favorite Superstar is often a dream come true. However, some fans take things to unexpected levels, as revealed in a recent WWE interview where Superstars shared the strangest items they’ve ever been asked to sign. Here are some of the highlights:
Bayley: Paramore Merch and Foreheads
Bayley isn’t a member of Paramore, but that hasn’t stopped fans asking her to sign some merchandise of the popular band the Role Model is a fan of. Bayley added that she’s also been asked to sign foreheads, which is her favourite thing to autograph.
Damian Priest: Underwear
Keeping his response family-friendly, Damian Priest admitted to signing “undergarments.” The Archer of Infamy refrained from revealing more details but left fans to speculate whether it was men’s or women’s underwear that earned his signature.
Sami Zayn: A Prosthetic Leg/Body Parts for Tattoos
Sami Zayn was befuddled when a fan asked him to sign their prosthetic leg, while others have asked the Honorary Uce to autograph their bodies so they can be tattooed. Zayn shared that when first asked for a tattoo-related autograph, his reaction made clear that he didn’t like the idea, but he’s trying to get better at hiding how he feels.
Kevin Owens: Body Parts for Tattoos
The self-professed ‘Real’ WWE Champion, like Zayn, has signed body parts for fans who plan to immortalize his signature in ink. While he considers it an “incredible honor,” Owens shared his nervousness about the possibility of his autograph becoming a permanent flaw on someone’s body.
Rey Mysterio: $100 bills
Rey Mysterio shared a story about fans wealthy enough to have him sign $100 bills. The WWE Hall of Famer cleverly incorporates his signature 619 move into the design, transforming the bill into a “619-dollar bill.”
Dominik Mysterio has reflected on the passing of Eddie Guerrero and what it means for him to have worked with the legend after entering the business himself.
The WWE star recently had an interview with No Contest Wrestling podcast. He discussed things such as his love for chicken nuggets, working with CM Punk, and more.
Coming from the legendary Mysterio family, Dirty Dom has been around wrestling all his life. When asked which was the first storyline that really broke his heart as a kid, the former NXT North American Champion recalled watching the tribute package for Eddie Guerrero after his passing:
“[Back in] ’05 when I was still young at the time but when Eddie passed and just seeing the community. I don’t remember showing emotion as a kid unless I was like physically hurt…cause never nothing really [bothered me]. I always kept to myself.
I remember when we were watching at home when Eddie had passed and the video package that they played with the Three Doors Down song. I just remember I started crying as a kid watching this and remembering him. Just what he had done with me and just everything that we had gone through in that angle. So I remember that as a wrestling fan that got me. Because I knew I wasn’t gonna see him again.”
The storyline between Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio over the custody of Dom was one of the last feuds for the wrestling legend before his untimely passing. It was also the first time Dominik had gotten involved in a WWE angle.
Now that he has entered the business himself, the 27-year-old cherishes the time he got to spend with Guerrero even more. According to him, seeing Eddie’s work makes him realize how special the time was:
“Then now as an adult being in the business, it kind of sucks even more. Cause not only did I know him as a person and I got to be in the ring with him but I get to appreciate his work so much more now. Because it’s just…I’m living through it, trying to honor it. Looking at his matches and seeing how good he was, it just really…it makes me appreciate so much more the time I did get to spend with him.”
Dominik Mysterio is one of the wrestlers who continues to honor the legacy of Eddie Guerrero in various ways. This includes paying tribute through his gear and look as well as incorporating Eddie’s signature moves like the Three Amigos into his matches.
Drew McIntyre is gearing up for an intense clash with Cody Rhodes, in a program that promises emotional and physical turmoil for both Superstars. During a recent TikTok livestream, the Scottish Warrior hinted at major developments on the horizon.
“I don’t want to give too much away. It’s going to be significant when the time comes… The world is going to be along for the ride. Feelings will be hurt, bodies will be,” McIntyre teased.
Drawing parallels between their careers, McIntyre noted that both he and Rhodes left WWE at different points, only to return as larger-than-life Superstars. McIntyre highlighted that he “redefined what independent wrestling meant” during his time away, while Rhodes made waves by co-founding AEW.
“Cody and I, it’s going to be big when it happens.”
The two share a history as a tag team, having briefly held the WWE Tag Team Championships in 2010 for a 35-day reign, which was cut short by the unlikely duo of John Cena and David Otunga. More recently, McIntyre secured a victory over Rhodes on the February 19, 2024, episode of WWE Raw.
Currently, both Superstars are entrenched in high-profile storylines—McIntyre with the OG Bloodline and Rhodes with Kevin Owens. However, McIntyre’s words suggest that fans won’t have to wait long for these two top-tier talents to collide once again.
Matt Cardona says he is beyond proud of Chelsea Green.
The female star made history becoming the first-ever Women’s United States Champion at Saturday Night’s Main Event. This opportunity didn’t come easy for Green who had to work hard to get the recognition she deserved for years. She kept at it even after getting released from WWE once in 2021 and finally started becoming a fan favorite after returning to the company in 2023.
The Deathmatch King who married Chelsea Green in 2021, expressed his feelings on her big win in a new video. Matt Cardona said that he can’t put his feelings into words:
“Chelsea Green, new first ever women’s United States champion. Beyond proud of her. I can’t even put into words how proud of her I am. I wish I was there, Long Island. But I’m here, I’m working. She understands that.”
Cardona who has ample experience of the WWE system himself, highlighted the struggles of his wife through the years. He also thanked Green for paying tribute to his Zack Ryder character during the championship match with Michin:
“I saw this girl, like get rejected from WWE, had to beg for tryouts, then got a job, then got fired, and worked her ass off on the indies, then got back. So, she’s earned this. So, I’m beyond proud. And she wore like one-legged tights, Zack Ryder style. Did the Rough Ryder on Long Island. So, thanks babe, appreciate you.”
Chelsea Green has already declared herself the longest reigning Women’s US Champion and called out a big name to come challenge her. You can check out more about it here.
