WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin says he needs a “new left knee” in the near future.

Austin revealed the news on the Bobbycast podcast and explained his knee troubles began during his college football days at North Texas State University (now the University of North Texas).

He tore his ACL during his junior year, while covering a kickoff. He described it as a “mop-end tear,” where the ligament tears in the middle with frayed edges.

“I need a new left knee here pretty quick.”

At the time, doctor opted not to repair the ACL, relying on the strength of his surrounding muscles instead. These early injuries set the stage for persistent knee issues throughout his wrestling career.

Over the years, Austin has had multiple surgeries, including the replacement of his ACL and PCL using cadaver ligaments.

El Hijo Del Vikingo has updated fans on his condition after a scary knee injury at Sunday’s post-Bound for Glory TNA Impact tapings. In his Instagram stories, he wrote:

“Thanks to my brother, Laredo Kid, for accompanying me and keeping an eye on me! I chose this sport, I am happy for the good and the bad. I will recover and come back stronger than ever. Thanks to everyone who sent me a message!”

Vikingo was stretchered out of the October 27th TNA iMPACT! tapings when he suffered a knee injury in his match against Trent Seven. 

Vikingo made his return to TNA at Bound For Glory after being sidelined for seven months due to a knee injury. He challenged “Speedball” Mike Bailey for the X-Division Championship. The high-flying flip-fest saw Bailey retain his championship by executing a float-over superplex off the top rope for the victory.

As a self-made millionaire, WWE Hall of Famer John ‘Bradshaw’ Layfield is no stranger to making major financial decisions. Now the former World Champion has arrived in AAA and has big plans for the company thanks to his financial backing.

After appearing at AAA TripleMania in August, JBL shared that he has become one of the main investors in the Mexican promotion. Appearing this past week for AAA, JBL spoke with Dorian Joaquín Roldán Peña, the company’s director general. In the segment, Layfield spoke about bringing AAA to the United States, declaring that it’s where the money is, but said he’d still keep a ‘territory’ in Mexico.

JBL further made his point on Twitter, promising a “global takeover” by AAA and promising to make Mexico great. Alluding to his appearances in various promotions, JBL said he’s not everywhere just yet but plans to be soon enough.

Layfield has been appearing for AAA, MLW, GCW, and TNA, where he recently thwarted Joe Hendry’s attempt at becoming TNA World Champion. After screwing over the viral Scottish star, JBL bestowed quite the moniker upon himself.

As for what John ‘Bradshaw’ Layfield does next, right now, it seems only JBL knows. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest from JBL and his huge international plans as an investor in Lucha Libre AAA.

TNA Requested Current WWE Star For Hall of Fame Induction (Report)

At TNA Bound for Glory 2024, Rhino and the late Bob Ryder were inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame, joining the likes of Kurt Angle, Sting, Abyss, and others. This was an emotional highlight of TNA’s highest-attended pay-per-view in over a decade, but a current WWE Superstar was considered for the honor.

AJ Styles was considered for a TNA Hall of Fame induction, Fightful Select reports, with TNA reaching out to WWE about it potentially happening. The report adds that WWE passed on the opportunity though did not state why. The belief within TNA is that it was due to Styles’ recent injury and WWE did not want him appearing elsewhere first. Styles has been out of action since the October 4, edition of WWE SmackDown, where he suffered an injury in his first match back on TV after a lengthy absence.

There was also said to be a hope that Styles would be open to wrestling in TNA again, though its unclear if discussions were held. Styles parted ways with TNA in 2014 and would join WWE two years later. In July, Styles competed against Naomichi Marufuji for NOAH in his first non-WWE match in over eight years.

While AJ Styles was not inducted, he did appear via video during Bound for Glory during a package for Bob Ryder. Though WWE and TNA have become partners this year and AJ’s history with TNA is no secret, it remains to be seen if the Phenomenal One will appear in a TNA ring again after TNA’s request for an induction was reportedly blocked.

Series Of Injuries Impact (10/27) TNA Wrestling Tapings

The latest tapings of TNA Impact saw two major names face injuries, in huge setbacks both to the respective talent and the promotion as a whole. The tapings took place one day after TNA’s Bound for Glory pay-per-view, which saw the Hardys win Tag Title gold while Joe Hendry came up short in his pursuit of the TNA World Title, thanks to a WWE Hall of Famer.

At Bound for Glory, ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey retained the TNA X-Division Championship against El Hijo del Vikingo in an excellent match. During the tapings, Vikingo looked to bounce back when he took on Trent Seven. Fans in attendance took to social media to share that Vikingo suffered an injury and the match was halted when the referee signaled for medical aid. Tommy Dreamer and several others rushed to help out and Vikingo was stretchered away.

Later on in the tapings, ABC (Ace Austin and Chris Bey) took on Matt and Jeff Hardy with the TNA World Tag Team Championships on the line. During the match, Bey went down hard following what appeared to be a mistimed spot. Medical personnel rushed into the ring to attend to Bey who was carefully placed in a neck collar.

These unfortunate injuries only highlight the risks that a professional wrestler takes every time they step foot between those ropes. We’re wishing both Vikingo and Bey speedy recoveries, and hope to provide more details as they become publicly available.

Alicia Fox was part of WWE’s women’s division for years, and while she’s since parted ways with the company, her life has continued to flourish. This month, Fox celebrated a new chapter by tying the knot with her longtime partner, musician Michael Fitzgerald of Darkhorse Saloon.

On Instagram, the pair shared the happy news, posting photos and videos from the couple’s beach wedding. Several wrestlers shared their congratulations including Kelly Kelly, Jessika Havok, and WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax.

Fox and Fitzgerald began dating years ago and shared in 2022 that they were engaged. That same year, Fox made a one-night return to WWE as part of that year’s Women’s Royal Rumble match which was won by the returning Ronda Rousey.

Alicia Fox

In May 2023, Fox confirmed that she was no longer with WWE, ending a 17-year tenure with the company that saw her become the first African-American Divas Champion. In April of this year, Fox, now working as Vix Crow, made her return to the ring at Starrcast’s HER event in Ballarat, Australia, where she defeated Mickie James. She has also worked against Hyan and Seleziya Sparx and has also appeared for Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling promotion.

We here at SEScoops would like to congratulate Fox and Fitzgerald on this joyous occasion and we are sending our absolute best wishes to the pair.

Simon Miller may be best known for his popular wrestling-related YouTube videos, but now, the 39-year-old has captured gold of his own in the ring.

Miller captured the Proteus Championship at PROGRESS Wrestling Chapter 172: Werewolves of London on October 27, 2024. The match saw Miller defeat Paul Robinson in the Electric Ballroom in Camden, London, ending Miller’s reign that had been built on the grueling “knockout or tap-out” stipulation.

Following the win, Miller took to X to thank his supporters.

This win marks a major milestone for Miller, who has steadily transitioned from content creator and commentator to a respected competitor within the wrestling scene. While best known for his content-creating work, Miller has competed for PROGRESS, Alpha-1, Defiant Wrestling, and TNA, where he was part of the promotion’s Turning Point show in October 2023.

Miller’s success in the ring highlights that there’s never been one set path for wrestlers to follow to succeed in the squared circle. His success in wrestling is mirrored by the likes of Logan Paul and Bad Bunny, who similarly have seen victories in the ring despite not initially starting off as a wrestler. Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest from the world of wrestling and Miller’s shocking title reign.

At WWE NXT Halloween Havoc, Fallon Henley captured the NXT Women’s North American Championship, ending the 140-day reign of Kelani Jordan. Unfortunately for Henley, she and her Fatal Influence allies had little time to celebrate, thanks to WWE NXT’s newest arrival: Zaria.

Henley won the title in a gauntlet match that also featured Fatal Influence’s Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx. As Nyx began cutting a post-match promo, Zaria arrived in Hershey’s Giant Center and laid waste to all three members of the faction.

The crowd was pumped to see Zaria get physical, and they won’t have to wait long to see the Australian signing again. On X, it was confirmed that Zaria will make her in-ring debut on this week’s episode of WWE NXT.

Zaria

Formerly known as DELTA, Zaria signed with WWE this year after a try out in Perth during Elimination Chamber week in February. Before arriving in WWE, Zaria made an impact in her native Australia and was a fixture of Riot City Wrestling. She is a former two-time RCW Tag Team Champion, the final holder of both the RCW Championship and RCW Women’s Championship, and the first holder of the RCW Grand Championship.

Now, Zaria is a part of WWE and is already making an impact, much to the chagrin of Fatal Influence. Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest on the Australian powerhouse who is poised to change things dramatically in the NXT women’s division.

ECW name Confirmed for NXT 2300 Arena show

In a thrilling announcement for wrestling fans, former ECW star Dawn Marie is set to make her return to WWE as a special guest referee for an upcoming NXT event at the iconic 2300 Arena in Philadelphia.

This news has excited fans, particularly those who fondly remember the Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) era back in the mid to late 90s.

Dawn Marie’s Return to WWE

Special Guest Referee Role

Dawn Marie, a beloved figure from the ECW days, will be stepping back into the WWE spotlight in a unique capacity. She has been confirmed as the special guest referee for a high-stakes hardcore match between two of NXT’s rising stars, Jaida Parker and Lola Vice. 

This match is scheduled to take place during next week’s CW Network broadcast, which will be held at the historic 2300 Arena, formerly known as the ECW Arena.

Significance of the 2300 Arena

The choice of venue for this event is particularly meaningful. The 2300 Arena, with its rich wrestling history, was the spiritual home of ECW and has hosted countless memorable moments in professional wrestling.

By bringing Dawn Marie back to officiate a match in this hallowed ground, WWE is paying homage to the arena’s legacy while bridging the gap between wrestling’s past and present.

The Hardcore Match: Jaida Parker vs. Lola Vice

Rising NXT Stars

The match that Dawn Marie will be overseeing promises to be an intense affair. Jaida Parker and Lola Vice, both up-and-coming talents in NXT, will face off in a hardcore match that’s sure to test their limits and showcase their abilities. 

This type of match, reminiscent of ECW’s extreme style, is a fitting tribute to the venue’s history and Dawn Marie’s background.

An ECW legend has teased getting back into a WWE ring during the NXT Halloween Havoc 2024 event tonight.

Bubba Ray Dudley/Bully Ray was part of the broadcast team for the show and Ridge Holland would interrupt him both on the pre-show and during the Premium Live Event itself.

Bubba then told Ridge “don’t let it happen again,” before the two men stared daggers at each other. NXT heads to the 2300 Arena on November 6th in an ECW-heavy show, and there’s a good chance that we’ll see Bubba vs Ridge on that Wednesday night.

Cora Jade hits move of AEW star she once slated at NXT Halloween Havoc 2024

NXT Superstar Cora Jade hit a very interesting move during her match at the NXT Halloween Havoc 2024 event tonight.

Jade, teaming with Roxanne Perez to take on Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer, hit a Coffin Drop to the outside on her opponents, a seeming nod to Darby Allin.

What makes the situation interesting is that Jade publicly ripped into Allin back in 2021, saying that “being a good person with no abuse allegations against me is a huge part of my life” on Twitter.

The move could’ve been construed as coincidental, but as you can from the tweets below it was VERY obvious by her hand movement that Cora was hitting the Coffin Drop and not just jumping backwards off of the middle rope.

Although Ricky Starks isn’t currently appearing for AEW, that didn’t stop him from making a surprise appearance at Glory Pro Wrestling on October 27th. Starks took out Sean Login with a powerful spear during Sunday’s event.

Following the spot, he delivered a promo, declaring that he doesn’t pass up “the opportunity of a lifetime.” This appearance is setting up Starks for a match against Kody Lane on November 24th.

AEW Absence

Starks hasn’t appeared in AEW programming for several months, leading to speculation that he may be preparing to leave the promotion for WWE when his contract expires. Despite rumors circulating on social media suggesting Starks is already a free agent, these claims have been debunked.

Starks says he’s with AEW and under contract, but is not sure why he’s not being used.

CEO Tony Khan recently praised Starks during an All Out media call, describing him as a valued and respected talent who remains under contract with AEW.

Grayson Waller (still) wants a piece of John Cena. The Aussie Superstar doesn’t need a big stage, he just wants to slap Cena silly before it’s too late.

“I want to slap John in the face like I’ve been wanting it for so long. I’m going to get it, John, he said on UpUpDownDown. “I’m going to keep saying mean things until you say yes.”

Wrestlers who have called out John Cena wanting to be one of his final opponents include The Miz. Bron Breakker, Randy Orton, Matt Cardona and Carmelo Hayes.

Cena’s 2025 WWE retirement tour kicks off January 6 when WWE Raw premieres on Netflix.

“He said 40 shows like come on, give me Poughkeepsie or something,” said Waller. “You don’t have to give one of the big towns. I’m fine with that.”

Waller currently wrestles on the SmackDown brand as part of the A-Town Down Under tag team with Austin Theory. He also hosts a talk show segment called “The Grayson Waller Effect.”

Dominik Mysterio Doubts Rey Is His Father: I Question My Mom All The Time

In 2005, Dominik Mysterio played a pivotal role on WWE SmackDown as Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero fought over the custody of the then-eight-year-old boy. The pair’s bout at SummerSlam saw Rey get the win and his son, but now ‘Dirty Dom’ isn’t sure if the masked legend is truly his father.

On the Insight podcast, Mysterio spoke about his heritage in wrestling, and questioned if his ‘deadbeat’ father is really his father at all:

“I question my mother all the time. Because I don’t know, my dad was gone all the time, nineties was a wild time. I don’t know what happened.”

On TV, Eddie alleged that Dominik was his biological son, who Rey and his wife Angie had adopted after struggling to conceive. While Dominik is actually Rey’s biological son in real life, the on-screen angle would prove to be gripping programming at the time, as Eddie tried to take Dominik away, solely to hurt his former friend.

Dominik’s role as a heel has been heavily inspired by Guerrero, from his mullet and facial hair to his use of the frog splash in matches. Many fans have pointed to Mysterio’s on-screen romance with Rhea Ripley to being akin to Guerrero’s work with his ‘Mamacita’ Chyna during the Attitude Era. WWE would play into this comparison with Rhea receiving an ‘I’m Your Mami’ shirt, a nod to the ‘I’m Your Papi’ shirt Guerrerro donned during his angle with Rey.

Dominik has made his views on Rey Mysterio very clear, and now he wants to distance himself even further from his legendary father. Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest from Dominik Mysterio and his road to establishing himself apart from his dad in WWE.

Cora Jade Is Working On Getting AJ Lee Back In A WWE Ring

AJ Lee is heralded by fans and several wrestlers as a trailblazer in WWE’s women’s division, who was able to win over fans during her time without resorting to titillation. The former WWE Divas Champion hasn’t wrestled since the post-WrestleMania 31 Raw back in March 2015, but NXT’s Cora Jade is hoping to change that very soon.

Speaking to Scott Fishman of TV Insider, Jade was asked about AJ Lee and shared her hopes of getting the 37-year-old back in the squared circle.

“I don’t know. I hope so. I’m working on it. Me and Roxy are always badgering [Punk] about it. I know he is doing it to her as well, so we’ll see. If it happens, you’ll have to thank me.”

Jade’s love for AJ Lee is hardly a secret, with both herself and NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez citing her as an inspiration for stepping foot in the ring. The NXT duo have been affectionately referred to as the ‘daughters’ of Lee and CM Punk, who have both got in on the fun.

Punk said in July that his wife realizes that there is an option for a WWE return, though he will not pressure AJ to do anything she doesn’t want to do. That same month, Perez shared that she’s hopeful for AJ’s return, and is optimistic that the return of CM Punk could make it happen.

While Lee hasn’t wrestled in years, she was part of the WOW Women of Wrestling production team and also worked as a commentator for the all-female promotion. Away from the ring, Lee has been working on a graphic novel, and her memoir ‘Crazy is My Superpower’ is set for a TV adaptation.

After months out of the ring, Jay White is back and has engaged in a war with former World Champion ‘Hangman’ Adam Page. On the most recent episode of AEW Collision, Jay White took to the mic to taunt Page, saying that he has always been ahead of the cowboy at every stage of their careers. White is confident he’ll do the same next month as he challenged White to a match at AEW Full Gear on November 23.

Later in the show, Tony Schiavone announced that the match had been made official. The legendary commentator added that Page will appear on the October 30, episode of Dynamite to address White and his challenge.

White and Page faced off at AEW WrestleDream earlier this month in a match that saw White get the win. Back in July, Page would get the win over White on Collision in what would be the Kiwi wrestler’s final match before a three-month hiatus due to injury.

AEW Full Gear 2024

AEW Full Gear 2024 will take place on November 23, at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The show will be AEW’s sixth Full Gear pay-per-view and the second event of its kind in the Prudential Center.

The card for the show is as follows:

  • Jay White vs. ‘Hangman’ Adam Page
  • MJF Vs. Adam Cole or Roderick Strong (Whoever wins three matches first will get to face MJF)

The Judgment Day Victorious At OTT’s 10th Anniversary Event in Ireland

WWE’s new regime has proven to be vastly different from the old guard, as Superstars have been allowed to make appearances in other promotions. This week, The Judgment Day made its presence felt in Ireland’s Over-The-Top Wrestling promotion, in a warm homecoming for Finn Balor and JD McDonagh.

In the main event of the tenth-anniversary show, the pair faced off against The Social Elite in the first all-Irish main event for the promotion. The match ended with McDonagh hitting a top-rope moonsault before Balor hit the Coup de Grace for the pinfall victory.

Balor and McDonagh have held the World Tag Team Championships since the June 24, 2024, edition of Monday Night Raw, where they won the gold from Awesome Truth. Since then, the duo have had just three title defenses, with only one playing out on TV.

WWE Working With Others

McDonagh and Balor’s role at OTT’s 10th-anniversary event highlights how WWE’s current regime is more willing to ‘play’ with others than before. The same night, TNA Wrestling hosted its Bound for Glory pay-per-view, which featured NXT’s Brinley Reece on the pre-show. During the event itself, NXT’s Wendy Choo teamed with Rosemary to challenge Spitfire for the TNA Knockouts World Tag Titles, but came up short.

This year has also seen WWE partner with Marigold, Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport, Pro Wrestling NOAH, and other promotions. On January 1, 2025, Shinsuke Nakamura will return to NOAH to face Ulka Sasaki at the company’s The New Year event.

Montez Ford Teases Darker Side On WWE TV: “I’m On The Verge”

The WWE Universe could soon see a darker side to Montez Ford, as the Street Profits member is growing increasingly impatient in his current WWE SmackDown role. Speaking to the Daily Star ahead of WWE’s upcoming tour of the UK, Ford reflected on the recent heel turn of Kevin Owens and teased that he could be going down a similar path.

“You seen what happened to Kevin Owens recently, he’s a little frustrated. I feel like I’m on the verge of becoming the same way. How many times do I have to takedown another variant of the Bloodline?”

Between the original Bloodline and the new variant led by Solo Sikoa, Ford has spent years taking on members of the dominant faction. It’s easy to see why Ford is growing impatient, as it’s been close to four years since either he or Angelo Dawkins held championship gold.

It wasn’t too long ago that fans had high expectations for Ford as a potential singles star, with the charismatic wrestler even receiving an endorsement by The Rock. Despite a wave of momentum, Ford has yet to receive the big solo push that seemed destined for the 34-year-old just a few years ago.

Ford and Dawkins were most recently in action on this week’s SmackDown where they defeated Pretty Deadly. While a win is always a good thing, the Street Profits remain far removed from the tag title picture, and with the gold now held by the Motor City Machine Guns, it remains to be seen if Montez snaps just like Kevin Owens in the coming weeks and months.
