WWE Smackdown General Manager Nick Aldis confirmed that his official X account has been hacked, following a series of unauthorized posts promoting a fake cryptocurrency project.

In a statement shared via Instagram, Aldis clarified that he had no involvement with the posts and that his account had been compromised. He asked followers to disregard any content posted on his X account, @RealNickAldis, until further notice.

Aldis also noted that WWE has been informed of the breach and is actively working to resolve the situation.

Stevie Turner Appointed as WWE Evolve General Manager

In a significant development for WWE’s developmental brand, WWE Evolve introduced Stevie Turner as its new General Manager during tonight’s March 26 episode. Turner, who previously served as assistant to NXT General Manager Ava, brings experience from her tenure in NXT UK and NXT.

The announcement came during a Town Hall meeting where Turner was officially confirmed as the new General Manager. She had been working on behalf of Ava over the past few weeks, impressing with her match pitches and talent acquisition.

Upon receiving the position, Turner expressed that she was honored and grateful for the trust Ava had shown in her.

The 28-year-old Turner competed on the UK independent circuit as Bobbi Tyler from 2016 to 2020. She signed with WWE in March 2021, debuting on NXT UK before transitioning to NXT in January 2023. She was appointed as an Assistant General Manager of NXT in June 2024, alongside Robert Stone.

WWE Evolve serves as a platform for emerging talents, featuring wrestlers from WWE’s Performance Center and ID program. The brand is overseen by WWE Senior VP of Talent Development Creative Shawn Michaels and is run by Gabe Sapolsky, the founder of the original EVOLVE promotion that WWE acquired in 2020.

Swerve Strickland Drops 2016 WWE Callback on AEW Dynamite

On the March 26, 2025 episode of AEW Dynamite, Swerve Strickland took aim at Jon Moxley in a heated promo, questioning the AEW World Champion’s authenticity.

Strickland added, “Have fun continuing to play Jon Moxley on TV,” a pointed remark that carried added weight for longtime fans.

The line directly echoed a 2016 WWE Raw promo where Moxley, then performing as Dean Ambrose, delivered a similar insult to John Cena: “Have fun being the guy that plays John Cena on TV.

Strickland’s use of the same phrase flipped the narrative, turning Moxley’s old words back on him.

The segment stood out as another example of AEW’s ongoing use of layered storytelling, rewarding fans who recognize callbacks and long-running character arcs.

Ex-WWE Wrestler Von Wagner Resurfaces in AEW

Former WWE talent Von Wagner, now competing under his real name Cal Bloom, made his All Elite Wrestling (AEW) debut in a non-wrestling capacity. Bloom appeared as part of the security team during a brawl between AEW wrestlers Mark Davis and Powerhouse Hobbs.

Following his WWE release in April 2024, Bloom returned to in-ring action on March 15, 2025, at Midwest All-Star Wrestling’s “Mayhem at the Mall” event in Maplewood, Minnesota, facing Shay Diesel. This marked his first match since departing WWE.

Cal Bloom, son of former WWE wrestler Wayne Bloom, was part of WWE from 2019 until his release in 2024. Since then, he has competed under his birth name rather than his WWE ring name.

‘Pathetic’: Mandy Rose Criticizes WWE Over Double Champion Claim

Mandy Rose took aim at WWE in a recent social media post, calling the company “pathetic” for crediting Stephanie Vaquer as the first-ever NXT Women’s double champion. The reaction came after a viral post pointed out Rose’s past title win, suggesting WWE had ignored her accomplishments.

In the now-viral meme, Rose is shown holding the NXT Women’s and NXT UK Women’s Championships, with text criticizing WWE’s recognition of Vaquer. A fan’s caption insisted Rose was the original double champion, not Vaquer, prompting Rose to respond: “Haha yea it’s pretty pathetic isn’t it!! Thanks for the recognition tho! Appreciate you!!”

However, added context from community notes clarified the distinction. Rose won the NXT UK Women’s Title in a unification match, which merged it with the NXT Women’s Title, effectively retiring the UK belt immediately. This means she was not a dual champion at the time—she held one unified title.

In contrast, Stephanie Vaquer currently holds both the NXT Women’s and NXT North American Championships as separate, active titles. She defends each independently, making her the official and historically accurate first women’s double champion in NXT history.

While Rose’s accomplishments remain notable, the technicality of title unification versus active dual reigns sets a clear distinction in record books.

WWE Signs Posthumous Legends Deal with Kamala

The family of the late James Harris, known worldwide as Kamala “The Ugandan Giant,” has announced a posthumous Legends contract with WWE. The move marks a significant recognition of the wrestling icon’s impact on the industry.

“We couldn’t be prouder that James’s legacy is back home where it belongs,” said Emmer Jean Harris, wife of James Harris.

The agreement was facilitated by 16 Creative, a branding and estate management agency based in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Jared Ashley, CEO and Founder of 16 Creative, emphasized that the deal had long been a personal goal.

“My main goal was to get Kamala signed to a Legends deal—and hopefully into the WWE Hall of Fame,” Ashley stated. “I’ve always felt that’s where he belongs, and I think many of his fans would agree.”

Ashley also expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work with the Harris family and WWE, noting the importance of preserving Kamala’s legacy.

16 Creative has previously managed Legends deals for wrestling figures such as Demolition, Koko B. Ware, Tito Santana, and Junkyard Dog. The agency also represents current WWE legends including Ted DiBiase and Mike Rotunda.

Kamala’s addition to WWE’s Legends roster ensures that his contributions to professional wrestling will continue to be honored for generations to come.

WWE & Las Vegas Raiders Inspire Young Fans at Allegiant Stadium Tour

WWE and the Las Vegas Raiders stepped in the ring together to host a special tour of Allegiant Stadium for some lucky young fans. Hosted by Big E and Zoey Stark, the fans were able to visit the staium that will play host to WrestleMania 41 on April 19, and April 20.

The event wasn’t just a field trip for the kids, but an opportunity to learn from two highly-successful individuals. Big E explained that being a champion means constantly working towards a goal and being disciplined. Stark added that she is “blessed” to be with WWE and that she had to “stay on track” and trained every day to succeed.

This tour was one of several community outreach programs, demonstrating that WWE’s efforts to work with fans extends past entertainment on TV. WWE often partners with charities and philanthropic ventures to help worthy causes. These include Make-A-Wish, the V Foundation, the Special Olympics, USO, and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

WrestleMania 41 will be a blockbuster two-night event, one that Stark hopes to make the card of while questions remain about Big E’s in-ring future. It remains to be seen what happens at the show, but this tour certainly gave these young fans an education about the venue and what it means to be a champion.

Viral John Cena Fan Comments On WWE Icon’s Scathing Attack

At the March 17, edition of WWE Raw, John Cena cemented his heel turn with a scathing promo in Brussels, lashing out at the fans in attendance and at home. During the promo, Cena singled out a young fan of the WWE icon who won’t let this incident ruin his fandom.

In his first interview on the matter, the fan, who’s name remains unknown at this time, discussed being confronted by his favorite Superstar. The fan said that though his interaction with John didn’t go as he would have hoped, the WWE star remains his hero.

“John Cena pointed his finger at me & I was honored. I didn’t know he was going to shit on me, but I understood he was in character. To me, John Cena will always be a hero.”

Cena was in a similarly foul mood during the March 24, edition of WWE Raw in Glasgow, Scotland. Sharing his plans, Cena declared that he will leave WWE as WWE Champion, forcing the company to create a “toy” for Superstars to battle over. Meanwhile, Cena will take the real WWE Championship with over half a century with him and “walk away” to the horror of fans.

John Cena will be a part of the March 31, Raw in London, England, his final confirmed TV appearance on the Road to WrestleMania 41. With another scathing promo expected, it remains to be seen if a young fan in the UK capital comes face-to-face with the 16-time World Champion.

AEW Removed From Britt Baker’s Social Media Bios

Britt Baker was the first woman signed to an AEW talent contract in 2019 and for a while, was the top star of the women’s division. Baker’s days on top are now a distant memory, and her recent social media activity may have teased a bold move.

Baker has removed all references to AEW in her Instagram bio, distancing herself from the All-Elite promotion. On X, Baker’s bio is similarly AEW-free and makes reference to her role as a wrestler and a dentist.

Britt Baker Social Media

Baker’s alterations come amid an interesting time in the DMD’s career. Baker hasn’t competed since November 2024, and has competed just five times over the past year. Baker remains active on social media though rarely makes reference to AEW.

Interestingly, her latest reference to AEW on social media saw her throw support behind Saraya following the British wrestler’s exit from AEW.

Baker’s absence has left fans wondering as to whether her time with AEW may also be coming to an end. In January, Chris Jericho cast doubt on the idea that Baker will leave AEW, following reports of alleged heat on the former Women’s World Champion.

If Baker does end her time with AEW, fans can expect WWE to make an effort to sign Baker who could also see interest from promotions overseas such as STARDOM. Whatever’s next, Britt Baker remains a talking point among wrestling fans, even with her hiatus from AEW growing day-by-day.

Bill Goldberg ‘Completely Behind’ His Son Pursuing Pro Wrestling

Bill Goldberg has expressed his support for his son Gage potentially becoming a professional wrestler—if it’s truly what he wants to pursue.

During his appearance on the Ariel Helwani Show, Goldberg said he would stand behind his son’s decision to enter the wrestling business, provided he showed full dedication and commitment.

“Yes, I’d let him do it,” Goldberg said. “If he looked me in the eye and had the conviction in his soul that that is what he was going to put 120% of his attitude and life towards, to be the best, I know he can do it. He can do anything he wants.”

Goldberg emphasized the importance of hard work and criticized a mindset of entitlement.

“Most people can do anything they want; they just have to put their minds to it and be willing to put in the work.

That’s the problem with a lot of people now—they want it for free, they want it to be given to them, and they want respect to be given to them. You gotta work for it.”

He added that he’d support his son in any endeavor “short of being a crack dealer,” and concluded:

“If the kid loves it, then he can do it. I’m completely behind it.”

Gage Goldberg has previously appeared on WWE television, including a brief on-screen altercation with Bobby Lashley. In December 2024, Gage revealed that Triple H had offered him a WWE tryout, signaling serious potential for a future in the ring.

Jey Uso Stands Up to His Critics: ‘I’m Not Going Anywhere’

Jey Uso has addressed criticism surrounding his in-ring skills and the perception of his WWE ascent, making it clear he’s not backing down. Speaking on the Raw Recap podcast, Uso reflected on the impact of the Bloodline storyline and how it boosted his confidence as a solo performer.

“Run that whole Bloodline story back from day one,” he said. “You’ll get lost in the sauce like everybody else. They wanted me to beat Roman. They cheered for me hard. There was never no backlash at that moment.”

Uso emphasized how the experience helped him evolve on the mic and in front of the camera, calling it his “best body of work.” Addressing critics, he said he understands he’s being scrutinized because of his current position, but he’s earned his spot.

“There’s a whole bunch of dope wrestlers way better than me,” he admitted. “They got 20 moves, and y’all can do all that, but they not in my position. It’s a different game up here.”

Reflecting on fan reactions, especially during his entrance, Uso made it clear he’s here to stay—and intends to make another statement at WrestleMania 41.

“I shake arenas, bro. The ground under your feet will be shaking when my entrance is out,” he said. “That’s the levels I’m at, and I’m gonna stay there. I ain’t going nowhere. I’m gonna shock the world two times.”

While Jey Uso is ready to reach the pinnacle of his career at WrestleMania 41 when he battles GUNTHER for the World Heavyweight Championship, The Undertaker recently shared his view that WWE made a gutsy call by placing Uso in this spotlight.

Brussels Arena Gets WWE Makeover After Historic Raw

During backstage segments at the March 17, episode of WWE Raw, fans will have spotted that Brussels’ Forest National arena was covered in graffiti. Rather than being an act of vandalism, this was art for the venue and now WWE Superstars have literally left their mark.

In a video shared on X, Bayley, Penta, Jey Uso, Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez all added to the venue’s art. The Superstars shared their names, catchphrases and in Rodriguez’s case, reminded passers-by that she is a three-time Women’s Tag Team Champion.

The March 17, episode of Raw marked WWE’s first televised event in Belgium, bringing the excitement of WWE’s longest-running show to the nation. The show also marked John Cena’s first appearance since his stunning heel turn in Toronto. In the Forest National, Cena lashed out at the fans, arguing that he was no longer giving to fans who had never been satisfied with his efforts.

While it remains to be seen when WWE will return to Brussels, though a PLE can’t be counted out, the promotion now has a permanent spot inside the Forest National. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on WWE’s ongoing tour of Europe as the company continues to barrel forward on the Road to WrestleMania 41.

Saraya Announces AEW Exit, Taking A Break From Wrestling

Saraya’s time with All Elite Wrestling has come to an end. During the debut episode of her new podcast Rulebreakers With Saraya, the former Women’s World Champion shared the news.

“I’m here to tell you that me and AEW’s relationship has come to an end. I had an amazing time there. There’s no bad blood between us. I had such a magical time.”

Saraya’s final appearance for AEW came in October 2024 where she was on the losing end of a four-way Women’s Title contest. After taking “a couple of months” off over the holidays for personal reasons, Saraya had time to reflect on her role as an All-Elite talent.

“I got to thinking — what is there left for me to do in wrestling right now? Right now, there’s really no storylines where I would fit in.”

Saraya clarified that her exit has “nothing to do” with AEW President Tony Khan and instead is “just me thinking that I just don’t fit in right now.” Saraya was worried that she was taking the spot of “someone who could be doing something really special.”

Speaking about AEW, Saraya made clear that “I absolutely love” the promotion Khan launched in 2019. With that in mind, the British star won’t count out a potential return in the future.

“That’s not to say I will never come back to AEW… But I’m taking a little step back and focusing on myself for a bit.”

With her future in wrestling unclear, Saraya plans on “putting my energy into the podcast” with her “wonderful crew.” The wrestler recently shared goals to pursue a career in acting and already has a “big deal” role lined up.

Saraya “loved my f***ing time” with AEW and will miss her former colleagues in the company’s women’s division. While it remains to be seen what’s to come for the Brit, Saraya Bevis is far from finished when it comes to entertaining fans.

Emmy Nomination and Bloodshed: Adam Copeland Talks Balancing Wrestling and Acting

Adam Copeland isn’t just walking the line between two careers—he’s body-slamming it.

The WWE Hall of Famer turned AEW star and Emmy-nominated actor opened up about the whiplash-inducing pace of his life: red carpet one day, spiked mat the next. During an interview with Scott Fishman for TV Insider, he said:

“It’s like going from the Emmys to suplexing Moxley on a spike. That was five days apart!” he said.

Cope reflected on a whirlwind week that saw him nominated for Outstanding Supporting Performer for his role as Ares in Disney’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians—then competing in a brutal AEW match days later.

“I never assumed I would be nominated for an Emmy. It wasn’t on my bingo card at all,” Copeland admitted.

But his role in the fantasy epic—and his ability to perform even while recovering from a broken leg—showcase his range and resilience.

“Disney was on board with me continuing wrestling while I filmed. My first day walking without my boot was on set.”

Despite his growing success in Hollywood, Copeland says wrestling remains his priority.

“The acting kind of fell in my lap. I still want to do it, but it will have to wrap around my wrestling commitments.”

With one foot in the ring and the other on set, Copeland is redefining what it means to be a multi-hyphenate in entertainment—and proving there’s no limit to what a wrestler can do.

Cope Teases Possible AEW Role for Wife Beth Phoenix

Could AEW soon see another Hall of Famer join the fold? Adam Copeland, known to WWE fans as Edge, has opened the door for a possible appearance by his wife, Beth Phoenix.

In a wide-ranging interview with Scott Fishman for TV Insider, Copeland hinted that Phoenix hasn’t ruled out entering AEW—though it would depend on timing and family logistics.

“You never know. I don’t think she has completely closed the door on it if the situation fits,” Copeland said. “Beth is also pretty busy… so it becomes more a family issue and how do we pull it off if we’re both outgoing.”

AEW fans recently speculated that Phoenix might step into the ring as part of a storyline involving Copeland and Marina Shafir. Instead, Willow Nightingale was brought in—a decision Copeland supported fully.

“I thought she would be really cool to implement into the story. Why not use someone who was already on the roster?”

Still, the potential for a Phoenix cameo remains. Her presence would mark a major moment, bringing added star power and fanfare to AEW’s women’s division and extending one of wrestling’s most beloved partnerships into a new promotion.

For now, Copeland continues to thrive in AEW while juggling his acting career. But if the stars align, fans may see “The Glamazon” step into an AEW ring—and that’s a prospect worth watching.

‘We’re Kind of Punk Rock’: Adam Copeland Praises AEW’s Alternative Appeal

Adam Copeland has wrestled on the biggest stages in the world—but he says there’s something uniquely special about AEW’s offbeat, unpredictable vibe.

“We’re kind of a bit punk rock. It’s not always going to be pretty. It’s an alternative. It’s something different,” Copeland said in a recent interview with Scott Fishman for TV Insider.

Coming off a blood-soaked, polarizing match with Jon Moxley, Copeland pushed back on criticism of AEW’s more violent segments. He sees wrestling as a variety show, one that should encompass everything from comedy to technical showcases to hardcore brawls.

“Think about me and Foley,” he said. “I’m sure there were a lot of people disturbed by that too. There are also a lot of people who enjoy horror movies.

There are people who enjoy romcoms. Wrestling can bring that all to the table.”

He sees AEW as a creative haven for risk-takers, pointing to talents like Darby Allin and matches involving glass and thumbtacks as part of its DNA.

“Let’s also face it. If you have two wrestlers coming out to wrestle a technical match every match, that can get pretty boring.”

Copeland’s endorsement reinforces AEW’s positioning as pro wrestling’s creative counterculture—messy, bold, and proudly different.

CM Punk shocked the world at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2023 when he made his return in the closing moments of the show. Speaking on Stephanie’s Places, Punk discussed his return and the conversations he shared with WWE CCO Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque.

“Thanksgiving, on a Zoom… having a conversation we should have had ten years ago… Everything came together so fast.”

Given the season, Punk encouraged Levesque to spend time with his family, including his three daughters. Ever the working man, Levesque was eager to get the deal done as soon as possible, telling Punk “we gotta do this.”

Punk’s return to WWE came mere months after his exit from AEW, marking the closing of an infamous, controversial chapter of his life. Despite his star power and years of WWE fans chanting his name, CM Punk feared fans wouldn’t care about his return.

“I was still unsure of a lot of stuff. There is definitely that part of a performer’s brain, ‘Are they going to remember me? Are they going to care?'”

Levesque and Punk are more similar than either man wants to admit, according to Punk, with both being dedicated to their craft. Sure enough, the two men came together to make one of wrestling’s biggest returns, proving to never say never in WWE.

People Say A Lot of Things: Seth Rollins Reveals Thoughts On The Rock As His Boss

Seth Rollins has revealed his thoughts on The Rock as his boss.

The Great One has faced some troubles in recent times with a number of big projects going sideways. His attempts to take over DC Studios and trying to replace Cody Rhodes in his WrestleMania match have met with resistance from the fans, doing a lot of damage to his image.

The Architect who was a big part of Rock’s story with Rhodes leading to WrestleMania 40, recently appeared on the Rich Eisen show. He talked about things such as his new role co-hosting Good Morning Football, his expectations for the Chicago Bears, and more.

During the interview, Seth Rollins noted that his daughter is a big fan of Moana. When the hosts joked about the Rock’s involvement in the film series and their on screen rivalry, the former Shield member recalled The People’s Champion inviting his family to the premiere of Moana 2:

“He was kind enough to invite us to Hawaii to watch the premiere of ‘Moana 2’, so we got to see it on the lawn, with the sunset in the background. She’s too young to remember it, but it was a really incredible experience for our family.

He’s been a great boss, I will say. In the ring, we’ve had our ups and downs, but he’s…people say a lot of things about him, he’s a really kind and generous man,”

Apart from this, Seth Rollins also talked about his match with CM Punk and Roman Reigns set for WrestleMania 41. He noted how a Triple Threat match has almost no rules and claimed that fans will get three ‘very combustible elements’ in their bout.

The Rock has not been seen on WWE TV since his Elimination Chamber appearance. There is no word on his next appearance but it’d be a surprise if The Hollywood star is not involved with WrestleMania 41 in some way.

Ric Flair has officially confirmed his attendance at WrestleMania 41, putting an end to speculation surrounding his potential appearance at WWE’s biggest annual event.

In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, the two-time WWE Hall of Famer was asked if he would be part of WrestleMania 41. Flair responded with enthusiasm, saying,

“Hell yeah, I’m going there! I’m going to the pool party with you, what do you mean?”

His confirmation comes amid rising fan interest due to John Cena’s announcement on the March 24 episode of WWE RAW. Cena declared his intention to surpass Flair’s record by capturing his 17th World Championship at WrestleMania 41. He added that after doing so, fans would remember his name over Flair’s.

Flair’s confirmed presence has raised questions about whether he will make a simple guest appearance or become involved in Cena’s title match, potentially against Cody Rhodes. Given Flair’s legacy and history of unexpected moments, his role at the event remains highly anticipated.

Dominik Mysterio: Chicken Tender Spokesman

Dominik Mysterio: self-proclaimed greatest-Mysterio-to-ever-wrestle and now, chicken tender pitch-man.

WWE Superstar Dominik Mysterio has teamed up with Wingstop to promote their latest offering: crispier chicken tenders. Sharing the collaboration on Instagram, Mysterio expressed his enthusiasm with the caption, “NOTHING hits like the new crispier chicken tenders from @wingstop #ad.” 

This partnership isn’t Mysterio’s first with Wingstop; in August 2021, he collaborated with the brand to highlight their chicken thighs.

Mysterio’s fondness for chicken tenders is a recurring theme in his public persona. He has sported a t-shirt emblazoned with the phrase “Chicken Tender Slut.” During a WWE segment, he emphasized his preference for ranch dressing, scoffing at the idea of “dry dogging” his tendies.
