Cora Jade Calls Out Inappropriate Fan Messages Following WWE Release

Former WWE star Cora Jade recently addressed inappropriate messages from fans following her unexpected release from the company.

After sharing her email address on social media for professional inquiries, Jade found herself having to clarify her intentions when followers misused the contact information.

“Didn’t think I had to clarify but this is for BOOKINGS AND INQUIRIES ONLY you weird ass insensitive f***,” Jade wrote on her social media account, clearly frustrated by the nature of messages she was receiving.

The young wrestler, who famously dropped out of high school at 15 to pursue her wrestling dreams, had previously released a reflective statement about her WWE journey, expressing both gratitude for the opportunities and disappointment about how things ended. Despite these mixed feelings, she remains optimistic about her future.

The Return of Eleyna Black

In her departure statement, Jade announced she would be returning to her pre-WWE persona, Elayna Black, telling fans: “Elayna Black is back from the dead bitches! See you in 30,” suggesting she’s preparing for a comeback after her contractual waiting period ends.

This situation highlights the challenges wrestlers face when transitioning between promotions while managing fan interactions in the digital age.

Her WWE career was hampered by injuries, including double hip surgery in 2024. She primarily competed on NXT Level Up and made appearances on WWE Evolve before her release.

According to reports, industry sources believe Palmer will not continue in professional wrestling following her WWE exit.

CM Punk Eyes Second WrestleMania Main Event to Silence Critics

CM Punk finally has a WrestleMania main event to his name, but now the Best in the World is ready for more. During an Instagram Live, a fan asked Punk if he believes another WrestleMania main event will come. Punk responded by saying he’s confident it’ll happen, adding that he’s “Gotta hit night two for all those people that move the goalposts.”

Punk’s comments are a response to many criticizing the notion that Punk main evented WrestleMania this year. Some have argued that, despite WrestleMania now being a two-night event, only the match that headlines the show’s second night is a ‘true’ main event. If so, that would mean Punk is back to never headlining the Showcase of the Immortals.

Whether Punk headlines WrestleMania’s second night remains to be seen. With Punk set to turn 47 this year though, the clock is ticking for the Best in the World.

Finn Bálor & Wife Renew Wedding Vows In Las Vegas Ceremony

Finn Bálor did not capture his third Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania but Las Vegas was the setting of a personal milestone. On Instagram, Finn shared that he and his wife Vero Rodríguez renewed their vows in Vegas, complete with an Elvis impersonator os the officiant. In the comments, Vero shared her delight at renewing her vows at what she called “Weddingmania,” another nod to their ceremony taking place in the same city as WrestleMania 41.

Bálor and Rodriguez, a Mexican Spors Journalist, married on August 19, 2019, in a private ceremony in Tulum. The pair went public with their relationship in June of that year during an interview at the UEFA Champions League final and Bálor popped the question the next day.

On WWE TV, Bálor remains a fixture of the Judgment Day though tensions within the group have raised questions as to how long he’ll remain a member. Stay tuned for the latest on WWE’s first Universal Champion and his moves both in and out of the ring.

Hulk Hogan Says He Gets Cheered A Lot Despite WWE Boos

Hulk Hogan Says He Gets Cheered A Lot Despite WWE Boos

Hulk Hogan remains a controversial figure among wrestling fans, as seen during Monday Night Raw’s debut on Netflix in January 2025. In an interview with Alfred Konuwa, Hogan argued that wrestling fans booing does not necessarily reflect genuine disdain, before giving The Rock getting booed as an example.

“I’ve seen The Rock in Vegas. I love him to death. I’ve seen The Rock in Vegas, I’ve seen The Rock in LA, and they booed him out of the building. Hulk Hogan goes to LA, they boo him out of the building and everybody, bam, what is it? 3.2 billion interactions or something? Just crazy numbers.”

Hogan’s belief is that fans don’t genuinely hate The Rock but boo him on-screen, and believes he falls under a same category. However, it’s worth noting that The Rock is without many of Hogan’s genuine controversies, including the Hulkster’s history of racist comments.

WWE has yet to use Hogan in person since Raw’s Netflix debut, and any on-screen images of the Hulkster have been met with boos. Despite this, Hogan is confident that there’s still plenty of love for the two-time Hall of Famer.

“A lot of people have opinions about why I got booed or stuff that I should fix or not fix. But then I’ll go to New York or I’ll go to Chicago and they’ll cheer me out of the building, and I should probably turn to those same people that gave me advice before and ask them, ‘What do I do about people cheering me now?’“

Hogan may feel that there’s still love for him though time will tell when, if ever, WWE opts to use him on-screen again. With Chad Gable and American Made now the ones promoting Hogan’s ‘Real American Beer’ for WWE, it may be a long time before fans see the WWE icon on WWE TV.

Cora Jade Teases Non-In-Ring Project After WWE Release

Cora Jade’s time in WWE has come to an end, and fans are excited to see what Elayna Black does next in the ring. Now, the former NXT Superstar has suggested that her future outside of the ring may be as part of OnlyFans.

On X, Indi Hartwell teased that Black should join OnlyFans, captializing the ‘O’ and ‘F’ in her message “I Only wanna be your Fan.” Black responded that Hartwell should “stay tuned honey,” teasing that she will be on the exclusive fan-content platform soon enough.

OnlyFans is already used by several wrestlers, giving talent an extra source of income without having to take bumps. In 2020, WWE cracked down on talent haing OnlyFans account, spawning a debate over the level of control WWE should have over its ‘independent contractors.’

Elayna Black had an impressive career before WWE and many are expecting to see her thrive in the wrestling world outside of the company. It remains to be seen how far the former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion goes now her WWE dream is over.

Mercedes Moné Backs Female Talent After Latest WWE Releases

Another wave of WWE releases have taken place, leaving the former Superstars to navigate a career outside the Sports Entertainment juggernaut. Now, AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Mone has shared her support for those who have been cut.

On X (formerly Twitter), Mercedes Moné shared a throwback image from her WWE days featuring herself alongside several released Superstars. In the photo, the then–Sasha Banks is pictured with Shotzi and Shayna Baszler, both of whom have since departed WWE. Dakota Kai’s face is edited over Natalya’s, reflecting Kai’s second release from the company. Toni Storm, who exited WWE in 2021, rounds out the group.

This post caught the attention of Shotzi, who shared it on her account. Grateful for the support, Shotzi declared “Thank you my CEO.”

Moné is no stranger to success after WWE. She and Naomi left the company under controversial circumstances in 2022. While Naomi has returned to WWE, Moné has expanded her career with notable runs in AEW, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and ventures outside the ring.

Mercedes Moné has achieved significant success since leaving WWE. Whether those recently released will find similar success in their post-WWE journeys remains to be seen.

AJ Styles X Account Hacked via SIM Swap, Blames AT&T Security Breach

WWE Superstar AJ Styles has publicly addressed the recent unauthorized activity on his X (formerly Twitter) account, confirming that his account was compromised through a SIM swap attack.

In a video shared on Instagram, Styles explained that he lost access to his account after his phone’s SIM card was stolen, allowing the hacker to bypass two-factor authentication.

He discovered the unauthorized posts via his wife’s phone, as he was unable to access his own account. Styles indicated that the breach may have involved unauthorized access through his mobile carrier, AT&T.

The incident came to light when users noticed that Styles’ X account began posting racist content. Shortly thereafter, the hacker identified themselves through the account. The offensive posts have since been removed, and Styles is actively working to regain control of his account.

This event highlights the risks associated with SIM swap scams, where attackers manipulate mobile carriers to gain control of a victim’s phone number, thereby accessing accounts secured with two-factor authentication.

‘See You in 30’: Cora Jade Issues Statement on WWE Release

Former WWE Superstar Cora Jade, whose real name is Elayna Black, has broken her silence on social media with a heartfelt message addressing her departure from WWE and hinting at what’s next.

In the statement, she reflects on her journey, saying:

“Dropping out of high school at 15 to chase my dreams was scary but I’m so thankful it worked out for the time that it did! I got to live out so many childhood dreams, go so many places, do so many things and most importantly I met some of the most important people in my life that I know I’ll have in my corner forever.

Unfortunately it didn’t go how I envisioned and I’m disappointed by a lot of things but I can look back with no regrets and know I did everything with love and passion and always stood up for myself, even in the times I was scared. I’m proud of myself for that.

With all that being said, TRUST that this is not the end and only my new beginning. I have a lot to say when the time is right. I have so many ideas and am excited for the future and to be able to show what I truly am capable of. Elayna Black is back from the dead bitches! See you in 30.”

The message signals the return of her pre-WWE persona, Elayna Black, and suggests she is preparing for a comeback in the wrestling world (or beyond). Fans can expect more updates soon as she gears up for the next chapter of her career.

UFC’s Bo Nickal Eying Jump to WWE

WWE and UFC came together in September 2023 under TKO Group Holdings, merging to massive entities in Sports Entertainment. Ahead of UFC Fight Night on Saturday, May 3, middleweight fighter Bo Nickal sat down with Khel Now TV and addressed making a potential move to WWE, saying he would “if it makes sense.”

“I think that it would be a ton of fun and I’ve always been a fan of the sport since I was very young.“

Nickal isn’t just interested in competing in WWE but is interested in winning. Describing a potential crossover as “awesome,” Bickel added that “I would love to be a champion in amateur wrestling, in MMA and in WWE.”

If Nickal makes the move, he’d hardly be the first to step from the Octagon into the squared circle. Ronda Rousey, Brock Lesnar, Shayna Baszler, Ken Shamrock, and Matt Riddle all saw success in WWE after making their names in UFC.

Nickal will face Reiner de Ridder in UFC Fight Night’s co-main event. With these comments, it’s not hard to imagine that some of WWE’s higher-ups will be keeping an eye on the show from their TKO allies.

Released Star Takes Aim At The Bloodline & Roman Reigns After WWE Exit

WWE has initiated its latest round of talent releases, affecting Superstars from both WWE NXT and the main roster. While many of those released have expressed gratitude and optimism for their futures, Keanu Carver has taken a different approach.

Following his release, Carver quickly garnered attention on social media. In response to a fan suggesting he was “too hood for WWE,” Carver remarked that WWE fans are busy “d***eating these Samoan mfs,” a clear reference to The Bloodline faction. He also alluded to voting for Donald Trump, referencing Roman Reigns’ support for the 47th President.

The post sparked significant discussion, seemingly overwhelming Carver. He subsequently deleted the post and has since deactivated his X account, offering no explanation before leaving the platform.

Carver made his WWE NXT debut in December 2023, facing Riley Osborne in that year’s NXT Men’s Breakout Tournament. Now, with both Osborne and Carver no longer part of WWE, Carver is candidly expressing his sentiments following his departure.

Saudi Arabia Expected To Host WWE Night Of Champions 2025

WWE will reportedly revive its Night of Champions premium live event concept later this year. 

According to sources cited by Bodyslam.net, the event, which King and Queen of the Ring replaced on the 2024 calendar, is planned for a return in June 2025. The PLE is scheduled for Saturday, June 28th in Saudi Arabia. Also, there will be a SmackDown the night before on Friday, June 27th.

It’s unclear whether WWE will host Raw the following Monday as they did last year for their most recent Saudi Arabia trip. The report originated from the PWNxBodyslam Discord and noted that an official WWE announcement is expected imminently, possibly next week. 

This scheduling places the return of Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia near the end of June, fitting into WWE’s premium live event schedule between the planned Money in the Bank event in early June and SummerSlam in early August. The show continues WWE’s long-standing business partnership with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

WWE will also host the 2026 Royal Rumble PLE on Saudi Arabia, the first time that the country has hosted the event.

WWE has released over a dozen wrestlers from its main roster and WWE NXT, signalling a major change to the company’s roster. From NXT upstarts to Javier Bernal to former World Champions like Braun Strowman, these cuts are bound to have an impact across the card.

On X, Nixon Newell took issue with WWE’s latest mass-layoffs. The former Tegan Nox argued that the these releases were “f***ing insane!” though it’s unclear if she was talking about the wrestlers cut or the manner in which WWE trims down its roster.

Newell knows all about being handed the pink slip from WWE. In November 2021, she was released from WWE for the first time. Newell had been drafted to Raw earlier that year but was cut without ever competing on the red brand.

In December 2022, Newell return, part of the many rehirings under Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque. On November 1, 2024, close to two years after her initial release, the Welsh wrestler was cut for the second time.

Talent cut from NXT contracts will have to wait out 30 days while those cut from the main roster will have to wait 90 days before they compete elsewhere. It remains to be seen who makes the most of their opportunity after this latest wave of releases.

Elton Prince Suffers Injury Scare on WWE SmackDown

Things didn’t go as planned during the May 2 episode of WWE SmackDown in Des Moines, Iowa—specifically when Fraxiom stepped in the ring with Pretty Deadly. Nathan Frazer landed a standing shooting star press that appeared to strike Elton Prince directly in the face. Prince was visibly busted open, bleeding from the mouth, and seemed disoriented as he tried to recover.

The first indication that something was amiss came moments later when Frazer went for a pinfall and Prince failed to kick out, though the referee stopped the count. Prince looked clearly dazed and only managed to crawl over and tag in Kit Wilson after a noticeable delay.

Later in the match, Wilson hit a powerbomb on Frazer and went for the pin. The referee counted to three, but Frazer kicked out at the same time the bell rang. The referree waved off the finish and allowed the match to continue if another clear example of things not going as planned.

Despite the missteps, Fraxiom ultimately secured the win after Frazer pinned Wilson while Prince was being attended to by medical staff outside the ring. As of now, WWE has not released an official update on Elton Prince’s condition.

TNA Institutes New Blood Policy

TNA officials informed the locker room today that going forth, excessive blood and blading will not be permissible by the promotion, according to PWInsider. The edict was made official earlier today during a talent meeting.

In the case of hardway blood or something like a bloody nose or mouth, blood will be allowed and it was noted that it’s understandable that sometimes, blood will be a result of contact in the ring – but purposeful, heavy bloodletting is a thing of the past in the promotion.

The decision was made in order to protect the health of the talents as well as keeping current and potential advertisers and partners in mind.

The last match (for now) that will feature any excessive blood from the promotion will be a Dog Collar Match between TNA International Champion Steve Maclin and Eric Young, which was taped on 5/1.????????????????
