Trick Williams vs. Ethan Page: Devil’s Playground Match for the NXT Championship

The main event of NXT Halloween Havoc 2024 is set to be a Devil’s Playground Match between Trick Williams and Ethan Page for the NXT Championship. This match type allows for no disqualifications, ensuring a chaotic and unpredictable encounter.

Trick Williams, having recently regained the championship from Ethan Page, is expected to retain his title due to his current momentum and storyline development. 

The unpredictability of a Devil’s Playground Match means anything can happen, but Williams’ recent performances suggest he will emerge victorious.

Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade vs. Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer

In the women’s division, a highly anticipated tag team match features Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade taking on newcomers Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer. Giulia and Vaquer have made waves since their arrival in NXT, quickly establishing themselves as formidable competitors. 

This match is crucial for both teams; however, Giulia and Vaquer are predicted to win to solidify their status in the division and make a significant impact on their debut at a major event.

Tony D’Angelo vs. Oba Femi: Tables, Ladders, and Scares Match for the NXT North American Championship

Another exciting match on the card is between Tony D’Angelo and Oba Femi for the NXT North American Championship in a Tables, Ladders, and Scares Match. This bout promises high-flying action and intense physicality as both competitors use various weapons to gain an advantage. 

Tony D’Angelo is expected to retain his title despite Femi’s relentless pursuit to reclaim it. The decision to keep D’Angelo as champion aligns with maintaining stability in the championship scene.

NXT Halloween Havoc 2024: Additional Matches and Predictions

  • Andre Chase vs. Ridge Holland: Ambulance Match
    This match adds another layer of intensity to the event with its unique stipulation. Andre Chase is likely to emerge victorious given his recent push within NXT programming.
  • Spinner’s Choice TBD Match for the NXT Women’s North American Championship
    Featuring Kelani Jordan defending against potential challengers like Fallon Henley or Jacy Jayne, this match remains unpredictable due to its open-ended nature. However, Kelani Jordan is favored to retain her title.

WrestleMania 41 Tickets Skyrocket Under Ticketmaster’s Dynamic Pricing

Tickets for WWE WrestleMania 41 are now on sale and the two-night, April 2025 event is already proving to be a hit. Fans will flock to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada for the show, but the astronomical prices for tickets are certainly causing issues with fans.

Prices for WrestleMania 41 have already become much more expensive than they were when they initially went on sale. One person who spoke to PW Insider noted that their two-day combo ticket, purchased at $700, was selling for upwards of $2,000 on Wednesday, October 23. Tickets were also being sold for as much as $1,600 on Tuesday via Ticketmaster.

This huge increase in ticket prices is due to Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing, which makes tickets more expensive depending on the demand for an event. Dynamic pricing has been under scrutiny for years by consumers. In September 2024, prices for the reunion tour of music legends Oasis skyrocketed in the United Kingdom due to the demand. The UK Competition and Markets Authority has since launched an investigation into the practice.

For many fans, attending a WrestleMania would mark the pinnacle of their WWE fandom, but for many, these fluctuating prices make attending the Showcase of the Immortals an impossibility. Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest from WrestleMania 41 in the months of build ahead of next year’s spectacle.

Devil’s Playground Match: Trick Williams (c) vs. Ethan Page

The main event of the evening will see NXT Champion Trick Williams defend his title against former champion Ethan Page in a Devil’s Playground Match. This stipulation, determined by the “Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal” tradition, essentially means anything goes. 

Williams, who recently reclaimed the title from Page, will need to dig deep to overcome his challenger in this unpredictable environment.

North American Championship Chaos

Tables, Ladders & Scares Match: Tony D’Angelo (c) vs. Oba Femi

The NXT North American Championship will be contested in a Tables, Ladders & Scares Match, pitting champion Tony D’Angelo against the formidable Oba Femi.

In an intriguing tag team matchup, the newly arrived duo of Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer will face off against NXT stalwarts Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade.

Ambulance Match: Settling the Score

Andre Chase vs. Ridge Holland

In what promises to be a brutal affair, Andre Chase will face Ridge Holland in an Ambulance Match. 

This stipulation requires a competitor to incapacitate their opponent enough to place them in an ambulance and close the doors. It’s a match type that often leads to intense, personal battles.

The Significance of Halloween Havoc

NXT Halloween Havoc has become a beloved tradition in the WWE calendar. This year marks the 17th edition of the event, which has grown from a themed episode of NXT to a full-fledged Premium Live Event. 

By moving to a Sunday night and expanding its scope, WWE is signaling the importance of Halloween Havoc in the NXT landscape.

Shinsuke Nakamura May Be Returning To WWE TV Soon

Wrestling legend Shinsuke Nakamura may finally be making his return to WWE programming this week after an unexplained six months absence.

The Japanese star was last seen on WWE TV during the April 22 episode of Raw. He suffered a loss at the hands of Sheamus at the show. Shinsuke was then drafted to the SmackDown roster but he is yet to make an appearance on the brand since then.

Nakamura has stayed active in the ring in this time. He has competed on WWE tours of Japan, Germany and UK as well as live events in US. This has made his on-screen absence even more puzzling for fans.

The former IWGP Heavyweight Champion is set to be present at this Friday’s SmackDown tapings from Barclays Center in NYC, according to PWinsider.

Apart from the live show, the company is also going to tape next week’s episode of SmackDown on the same night. This is in preparation for their upcoming Saudi tour for Crown Jewel on November 2. It may be the night Nakamura finally makes his return on the Blue Branded show.

AJ Styles had been on a similar course to Shinsuke Nakamura. After staying off screen for more than four months, the Phenomenal One returned to SmackDown earlier in October. The former champion unfortunately suffered a serious injury in his return match, halting plans for what was described as his ‘retirement tour.’

It’s unknown what the company is planning for Nakamura upon his return but it’s possible that we might see him getting involved in an angle concerning the upcoming Saudi PPV.

Laid Series Featuring WWE’s Big E Coming To Peacock On December 19

Laid, a brand new series that will feature former WWE Champion Big E will premiere next month as part of Peacock. The platform has announced that the show’s entire eight episodes will be available for streaming from Thursday, December 19.

A description for the show from Peacock states:

A woman finds out her former lovers are dying in unusual ways and must go back through her sex timeline to confront her past in order to move forward – “Laid” is a f*cked up rom-com where the answer to “why can’t I find love, is there something wrong with me?” is a resounding “Yes. There is. The problem is definitely you.”

Based on the trailer which released this week, Big E will portray one of our protagonist’s exes. The black line through an image of the New Day star hardly bodes well for his fate on the show.

Latest On Big E

Big E’s role on Laid presents the popular Superstar with an opportunity to entertain outside of the ring, as his future in the squared circle remains uncertain. Since suffering a broken neck during a March 2022, edition of SmackDown, Big E has been unable to compete but remains hopeful that he will lace up his boots and don his singlet once more. While Big E hasn’t been wrestling, he has been a part of WWE’s panel at PLEs, and got in the ring at Money in the Bank 2024 in what proved to be an emotional moment for him. Nevertheless, the decision to get back in the ring is a risk for Big E, one that the former World Champion will not take lightly.

Adam Cole Opens Up on Overcoming Body Shaming in Wrestling

Adam Cole has opened up about being body-shamed online.

Being a celebrity makes you very vulnerable to unwarranted criticism and personal attacks from people. In an industry like pro wrestling where maintaining appearances is a big part of the gig, not being able to look your best for any reason can easily lead to crude reactions.

Cole, who has spent the better part of the last two years on the shelf due to injuries is no stranger to such remarks. He has previously replied to such comments while working hard to get back into ring shape for his return.

The former NXT Champion opened up about dealing with such things during a recent interview with TVInsider. He mentioned that part of being a public figure is expecting to hear judgment from people and recognizing that individuals are allowed to say what they want to say:

“People are allowed to say what they want to say. Does it feel good? Not at all. It definitely doesn’t. At the same time, if I’m someone who wants to be in the entertainment business and in the public eye, I know it’s something I have to expect to deal with in a lot of ways.”

Focused On Making The Best Version Of Me: Adam Cole

The Undisputed Kingdom Leader is not the only AEW star who has had to face such situations. Former Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo also recently discussed standing up to trolls and finding her confidence after previously being phased by such discourse.

Adam Cole explained that everyone in a similar position deals with such comments differently. For him, the best course of action is to ignore all the chatter and focus on his progress:

“I know everyone handles it differently. For me, I’ve gotten to the point where I kind of ignore it or block it out as best I can. I’m focused on making me the best version of me. I try not to get too discouraged with what social media can say.”

The 35-year-old made his AEW return at the WrestleDream PPV on October 12. The company has since announced that he will be making his in-ring return against Buddy Matthews at the Fright Night Dynamite special on October 30.

McMahon Attorney Responds To Latest Lawsuit Against Ex-WWE CEO

Thomas Lowson

A new lawsuit has been filed against WWE, TKO, and Vince & Linda McMahon, alleging that the McMahons were well aware of the infamous ‘Ring Boy Scandal’ of the early 1990s. The lawsuit has been brought on by five individuals who, according to the suit, feel empowered to come forward in the wake of regime changes in WWE and McMahon’s exit from the wrestling promotion earlier this year.

 In a statement to Brandon Thurston on Fightful Select, Rosenberg said:

“More than 30 years ago, the columnist Phil Mushnick tried to make headlines with these same false claims. Those allegations were never proven and ultimately became the subject of a defamation lawsuit against Mr. Mushnick. The negligence claims against Mr. McMahon that were asserted today rely on these same absurd, defamatory and utterly meritless statements by Mr. Mushnick. We will vigorously defend Mr. McMahon and are confident the court will find that these claims are untrue and unfounded.”

The Ring Boy Scandal came to light in 1992 when allegations against Mel Phillips, Terry Garvin, and Pat Patterson led to their firings from WWE. While Garvin and Phillips were permanently removed, Patterson was later rehired and remained with the company until his death in 2020.

The lawsuit alleges that Phillips exploited and sexually abused underage boys who had been underage boys who had been hired to perform tasks at WWE events. The abuse allegedly occurred in various locations, including wrestling venues and hotel rooms, where Phillips would transport the boys under the pretense of work-related errands. This is an ongoing situation and we aim to provide updates as and when they become publicly available.  

AEW Star Hologram Confirms Recent Injury

AEW star Hologram has confirmed that he suffered a minor injury during his most recent PPV match at WrestleDream on October 12.

The high-flying star was set to wrestle at the upcoming Galli Lucha show on October 27. The promotion, however, posted a video on Facebook recently to confirm he will be missing the show.

The AEW star who holds the Galli Indiscutible Title was going to defend the championship against Beast Mortos. He confirmed in the video that the match will have to be postponed due to his injury:

“I was looking forward to the show and defend this title (the GALLI Indiscutible Title), but I got injured and I will be out for some weeks.

I would be with you all if it were up to me, but that is not the case per advice from the medics so I will have to postpone that match against Beast Mortos.”

The good news for Hologram fans is that he won’t be out of action for long. The masked star claimed that he is only expected to be out for about two weeks:

“The slightly good news is I won’t be out for that long, just about two weeks. I will try to heal up as soon as I can so I can bring a great spectacle for all of you and be a worthy champion. A hug from the Musketeer of The Air,”

Hologram competed in a 2 out of 3 falls match against The Beast Mortos at the WrestleDream PPV. He picked up the victory over the La Faccion Ingobernable member in the bout. This week’s episode of AEW Collision then saw the Mexican star being attacked by Mortos with Rush and Dralistico.

After weeks of teases, the Motor City Machine Guns arrived in WWE on the October 18, episode of SmackDown. The pair won their debut match, one with championship implications, and Alex Shelley is feeling grateful for what has happened in his career.

On X, Shelley admitted that it’s been a “busy week” and shared gratitude to everyone who has supported him.

“We did it. What I was able to accomplish last Friday night on SmackDown was a dream come true.”

Later on, Shelley spoke of his new role and how blessed he is to have made it to the largest and most recognized wrestling promotion on the planet.

“Now I’m a WWE Superstar. And to be able to verbalize that has a very very deep and profound sense of power here… I have to be one of the most blessed people out there.”

Shelley ended his video with another message of thanks and declared that the work begins now. That is indeed the case as he and Chris Sabin will take on DIY this Friday night on SmackDown, with the victors earning a title shot against The Bloodline. Shelley and Sabin defeated A-Town Down Under & Los Garza to earn their spot in this match while DIY bested Pretty Deadly and the Street Profits. Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest on Alex Shelley and the Motor City Machine Guns now that the pair have officially arrived in WWE.

Chris Jericho Wins ROH World Title on Dynamite, New Challenger Emerges

Chris Jericho and Mark Briscoe went to war at WrestleDream 2024 in a match that saw Briscoe retain the ROH World Championship. This week, the pair once again did battle for the richest prize in Ring of Honor, but it was Jericho who’d leave the October 23, edition of AEW Dynamite with the gold.

In a ladder match, Briscoe and Jericho held nothing back and used the titular item to full effect as a weapon. The closing moments of the match saw Mark hit a Jay Driller on the Learning Tree and climb the ladder, seemingly poised to retain the title. That was until Big Bill interfered and chokeslammed him through a table. Bill then propped Jericho on his shoulders, allowing the veteran to capture the gold.

After the match, Jericho and Bill’s celebration was cut short by Tomohiro Ishii. The Japanese legend had previously been taken out by Jericho and now has his sights set on the new Ring of Honor World Champion.

In a backstage segment, Mark Briscoe was at a loss for words after his brutal defeat at the hands of Jericho (and Big Bill.)

This win marks Jericho’s second time holding the Ring of Honor World Championship and his ninth World title overall in his career. He previously held the gold from September to December 2022, both winning from and losing the gold to Claudio Castagnoli.

Lawsuit Alleges WWE & McMahons Knew Of Systemic Ring Boy Sexual Abuse

WWE has a long history of controversies, many of which have received a spotlight this year thanks to Netflix’s Mr. McMahon docuseries. Now, a new lawsuit has been filed against both Vince and Linda McMahon over the Ring Boy scandal of the early 1990s.

Law firms DiCello Levitt and Murphy, Falcon & Murphy have initiated a lawsuit against World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), Vincent K. McMahon, Linda McMahon, and TKO Group Holdings, Inc. The lawsuit is being brought on behalf of five survivors of sexual abuse, identified as John Does 1-5, who allege they were subjected to systemic abuse while working as “Ring Boys” for WWE during their youth.

The lawsuit centers on allegations against WWE’s former ringside announcer and ring crew chief, Melvin Phillips Jr. According to the plaintiffs, Phillips exploited and sexually abused underage boys who had been hired to perform tasks during WWE events. The abuse allegedly occurred in various locations, including wrestling venues and hotel rooms, where Phillips would transport the boys under the pretense of work-related errands. The lawsuit claims that WWE management, including Vince McMahon and Linda McMahon, were aware of this abuse but took no action to stop it.

The survivors, now adults, have only recently become aware of how much WWE executives, including the McMahons, knew of the abuse, the lawsuit states. The filing suggests that recent corporate changes, including the WWE’s acquisition by TKO Group Holdings and Vince McMahon’s departure as CEO, have empowered these survivors to come forward without fear of retaliation. Additionally, changes in sex abuse laws, particularly in Maryland, have paved the way for this legal action.

Greg Gutzler, a partner at DiCello Levitt and lead attorney for the plaintiffs, stated:

“Thanks to the bravery of our clients, we now have a chance to hold accountable those who allowed and enabled the rampant sexual abuse of these young boys. That so many knew about the abuse and did nothing to prevent or stop it is simply unconscionable.”

Mark DiCello, founding partner of DiCello Levitt, emphasized the significance of this case, stating:

“The WWE and McMahon had a responsibility to these underaged boys, and they failed them in the worst way possible. We will vigorously fight to uncover the truth about this systemic, insidious, and life-altering abuse. We commend our clients for their bravery in coming forward and promise to relentlessly seek justice for them.”

Professor Marci Hamilton, founder and CEO of CHILD USA, a nonprofit advocating for children’s rights, praised the survivors for coming forward:

“These survivors are profiles in courage. One-third of child sex abuse victims never come forward, silenced by shame, humiliation, and trauma.”

Hamilton stressed on the importance of statute of limitations reform, pointing out that “due to the Maryland window we fought for, these brave survivors can now seek justice.”

DiCello Levitt has a history of representing survivors in high-profile abuse cases, including the civil suit against disgraced fashion mogul Peter Nygard. This is a developing story and we seek to provide updates as and when they are available.

Mark Briscoe Reflects On Trilogy With FTR

Mark Briscoe says his trilogy of matches with FTR over the ROH Tag Titles will forever hold a special place in his heart.

The ROH World Champion recently had an interview with Battleground podcast. He was there to promote his Ladder War with Chris Jericho set for the October 23 Dynamite.

During the talk, Briscoe was asked about matches from his career that still give him goosebumps. The ROH Champion mentioned how The Briscoe Brothers’ trilogy with FTR is something that he’ll never forget:

“There definitely is plenty of matches and moments, The first thing I would think that a lot of people obviously would have guessed would be having the matches, we had the trilogy with FTR that ended with that dog collar match.

That dog collar match was just something that…in my mind it would just always be a moment in time that’ll just never be….there would never be another feeling like that no matter how great of a victory I could have moving forward.”

Nothing Will Ever Compare To That: Mark Briscoe

The Briscoes fought FTR in a trilogy of matches through 2022 starting with the Supercard of Honor event in April. The brothers dropped the ROH tag titles to the former WWE stars in this bout.

They unsuccessfully challenged the duo of Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood in a rematch at Death Before Dishonor in July. The brothers Mark and Jay finally managed to defeat FTR to regain the titles in a Dog Collar match at Final Battle in December.

The Dog Collar match was one of the final two matches Briscoes wrestled together before Jay’s unfortunate passing in January 2023. According to Mark, nothing will ever compare to the moment he got to share with his brother after their tag title victory:

“I’ve said it before, after the match once Jamin [Jay Briscoe] choked out Dax and then [they announced] the new Ring of Honor Champions and then I turned and he gave me this big hug, this big bear hug. Nothing will ever compare to that man.

Throughout the career there’s the…like I think about how much people talk about and put over the matches with FTR. We had the three matches with them. There will never be any thing like it in my career. To me it was just a real special trilogy of matches.”

Apart from this Mark Briscoe also mentioned how he and his brother had dozens of matches with The Young Bucks over the years. He recalled wrestling them in countries such as Japan, Australia, and US and said that it’s a fond memory for him.

Hiroshi Tanahashi Commits To Full-Time Office Role After 2026 Retirement

On January 4, 2026, Hiroshi Tanahashi will end his legendary in-ring career, mere days after John Cena ends his in-ring career at the end of 2025. After first joining New Japan Pro Wrestling in 1999, Tanahashi is ready to say goodbye to competition, but he won’t be parting ways with the company.

At a press conference, Tanahashi addressed his retirement plans and what will come after January 4. Tanahashi confirmed that he will remain with New Japan in an office role and that this will be a full-time commitment.

“This time I have left as a wrestler and executive will give me a lot of valuable experience so I can transition into full-time office life with confidence. The people we have now are definitely more than capable to bring NJPW into its best era ever, and I have no concerns whatsoever.”

Tanahashi was appointed President of New Japan in December of last year, replacing Takami Ohbari who had been in the role since 2020. At the time of his appointment, Tanahashi said he had always dreamed of being President. Tanahashi also shared goals as President including selling out the Tokyo Dome and hosting more title matches outside of major cities.

Internal Reaction To Controversial Carlito Segment On (10/21) Raw

People in WWE were apparently as surprised by the controversial Carlito segment on this week’s episode of Raw as the fans.

The October 21 episode of the Red Branded show featured a backstage segment involving Adam Pearce, Carlito, IYO SKY, and Kairi Sane. As the two Damage CTRL members walked out of the frame, Carlito said ‘I gotta learn Chinese.’

Both the female stars are Japanese. In the case of IYO, she has faced discrimination in the past as well and she has been subjected to ‘go back to China’ comments from audience members. So the line raised a lot of questions.

People In WWE Were In Disbelief

According to reports from Fightful, the claim from one member of the staff is that the line was not scripted. Those they have spoken to were ‘in disbelief’ that it was said.

A number of people in the company were not happy with the segment, though there is no news on any action being taken after it.

The line has been cut from the video of the segment WWE uploaded on socials. So it appears that the company is at least aware of its controversial nature.

This segment comes at a time when WWE’s creative process is under scrutiny. The company’s Chief Content Officer Triple H was recently criticized for his answer on the lack of representation for black talent on WWE PPVs.

Former WWE head writer Michael Leonardi also opened up about plans for a culturally insensitive segment that had been planned for Martin Luther King Day in 2016 which he changed at the last minute.

Earlier this month, Oba Femi’s record-long reign as WWE NXT North American Champion came to an end at the hands of ‘The Don’ Tony D’Angelo. The Ruler aims to regain the gold this weekend at WWE NXT Halloween Havoc, and Femi may have found himself an unlikely ally along the way.

During the October 22 WWE NXT, Adriana Rizzo suffered a beatdown backstage. Later on in the night, Nikkita Lyons was revealed to be the attacker and Femi approached her in the middle of her conversation. The pair shared a look, before Femi handed Lyons her coat, and made clear he was thankful to know her. The pop from the NXT crowd certainly suggested that those in attendance believe something is going on between The Ruler and the Lioness.

On social media, fans quickly suggested that there is something going on between the two:

Lyons only recently returned to WWE NXT after being out of action for the majority of this year with an injury she suffered mere weeks after returning from a previous injury. Early in her career, she had to be removed from the NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament of 2022 after suffering a partial MCL tear and an MCL sprain.

Now, the Lioness, once considered a potential top female Superstar in WWE NXT, is back, and her teased involvement with Oba Femi has raised a lot of eyebrows. Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest on these two Superstars and how their alliance could affect the NXT North American Title match this weekend at Halloween Havoc.

Former WWE star Tony Nese has announced the birth of twin boys.

The 39-year-old posted photos of the newborns with his wife Liz on Instagram. He announced that the twins have been named Bryce and Benjamin Nese:

“Welcome to the world Bryce and Benjamin Nese. They came in 35 weeks with both weighing 6 lbs 1oz each. Our hearts will forever be full.”

Tony Nese In WWE

Tony Nese was signed by WWE after taking part in the 2016 Cruiserweight Classic tournament. He was eliminated in the second round by Brian Kendrick.

Nese would make his main roster debut during the September 26, 2016 episode of Raw. In late 2017 he started aligning himself with Enzo Amore’s faction.

The group dubbed The Zo Train also featured Ariya Daivari, Drew Gulak, and Noam Dar. Nese was kicked out of the faction in December. He was lined up for a feud with them but the storyline was dropped after Amore’s firing from the company in January 2018.

He had a run with the Cruiserweight Championship after defeating Buddy Murphy in the WrestleMania 35 pre-show. Tony Nese remained with the company for 3 more years without any notable feuds before being released in June 2021.

The wrestling world is mourning as independent wrestler Liger Rivera has passed away at the age of 37. This sad news was announced on Tuesday, October 22, by the Empire Wrestling Federation (EWF), where Rivera competed for years. During his time in the EWF, Rivera held both the American Championship and the Cruiserweight Championship twice. He also secured the EWF Tag Team Championship in 2008 alongside future WWE Superstar TJ Perkins.

Trained by Jesse Hernandez, Rivera primarily competed in the EWF but would also compete for other companies. From 2006 to 2012, Rivera competed in the NWA, where he worked with the likes of Lance Cade, Trevor Murdoch, and future NXT prospect Taylor Rust.

On X, WWE Monday Night Raw General Manager Adam Pearce shared his tribute to the late wrestler.

Rivera’s last match came in 2018, as he wrestled Fidel Bravo at a Hoodslam event in Oakland, California. A GoFundMe has been created to help with end-of-life expenses by former WWE Tough Enough contestant AJ Kirsch, who worked alongside Rivera in the California-based independent promotion Hoodslam Wrestling. With the promotion, Rivera competed under a mask under the name Bat Manuel.

We here at SEScoops would like to extend our condolences to those who knew Rivera at this sad time.

Bobby Lashley is no longer under contract with WWE but the All Mighty is far from finished in the ring. During a virtual signing with K&S WrestleFest, Lashley spoke about being off recently with an injury and teased something major within a matter of weeks.

“I had a little boo-boo, so I took some time off to fix myself. I’ve been working out hard, and I think the next few weeks you should see something pop off. It’s time to put pen to paper and get back to these fans.”

Speaking about AEW, where Shelton Benjamin recently had his debut match with Lio Rush, Lashley teased reconnecting with his former WWE allies.

“Lio is my dude. I saw Shelton fight Lio last week, and I wasn’t too happy about that. That’s always a good opportunity to jump back in.”

When asked about a possible return to TNA, where Lashley once dominated during its time as Impact, the former World Champion said it’d be “cool” to feud with Nic Nemeth. Lashley also spoke of a feud with Moose; someone who has been compared to Lashley over the years.

“That’s a feud I haven’t really had a chance to jump into. So there are all kinds of different matchups that would look great.”

It’s clear that Lashley is keeping all his options open—and fans couldn’t be more excited. Whether it’s debuting in AEW, a return to TNA and MMA, or something entirely different, it’s clear that the All Mighty isn’t done yet in the squared circle.

Adam Cole has confirmed his break up with Britt Baker.

The two AEW stars had been together for 8 years. They started dating back in 2017 before the inception of the company. Their relationship status had been subject of much speculation in recent months.

During a recent interview with The Takedown, Cole confirmed that he and Baker are no longer romantically involved but they remain good friends:

“We are no longer a couple, but when I say that we both still love each other and are still friends and still so supportive of each other, that could not be more true.”

Adam Cole also addressed the online discourse around their relationship. He encouraged people not to pick sides and know that they still care for each other:

“I don’t want anyone to ever think that me and Britt dislike each other. I think it is possible, in situations, for people who are in relationships to kind of go their separate ways, but still care about one another. The last thing I would want is fans to pick sides or anything like that.”

The former NXT Champion stressed that he wants Britt Baker to be as happy and successful as humanly possible. He noted that Baker will remain an important part of his life and there is absolutely no ill will between them.

The Undisputed Kingdom leader returned to AEW during the WrestleDream PPV on October 12. In a promo at the following Dynamite episode, Adam Cole turned face and confirmed that his rivalry with MJF was not over.
