  • Adam Cole addresses MJF feud criticism, reveals injury recovery struggles

    Adam Cole confronted recent criticism surrounding his renewed feud with MJF in AEW. Cole returned at WrestleDream 2024 to confront MJF after recovering from an ankle injury sustained at Dynamite: Grand Slam last year.

    Speaking on The Danny Ocean Show, Cole acknowledged fan concerns while defending the storyline’s direction. “I just feel that the story that me and MJF told needs a definitive conclusion. Coming back from injury, that’s exactly what I’m hopping into. Of course, you want to make as many people happy as possible. Then sometimes too, with stories, it takes a little bit to get back to where you were because a lot of the stuff that we did was very slow-burn,” Cole said.

    Cole detailed his recovery journey during an appearance on Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez. “The concussion was genuinely scary. There was a real question of if I was going to be able to come back, and fortunately, I got the clearance from doctors that it was completely safe; it was fine; I was able to return. So, when this issue with the ankle happened, there was never a point where I felt like, ‘OK, I’m going to retire,’ because I knew this was something I could come back from. Now, as far as mental discouragement… it was an all-time high,” Cole revealed.

    The Undisputed Kingdom leader emerged as The Devil at Worlds End PPV before MJF attacked him during his brief appearance at Double or Nothing. Their storyline continues to evolve on AEW programming, with fans anticipating how Tony Khan will develop this complex rivalry.

  • Gage Goldberg reveals neck-breaking spear incident during football game

    Gage Goldberg, son of WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg, revealed he once broke an opponent’s neck while executing his father’s signature spear move during a high school football game. The 18-year-old University of Colorado football player shared this startling information during a conversation with Sportskeeda Wrestling Senior Editor Bill Apter.

    “Oh, yeah, in high school football, for sure. Up here at Colorado, not yet. I’ve got in the game a little bit but I haven’t speared anyone yet, but in high school I definitely did. I broke someone’s neck before.”

    The younger Goldberg transitioned from Samuel V. Champion High School in Texas to join NFL legend Deion Sanders’ program at Colorado. During his time in Texas, Gage’s connection to wrestling royalty remained well-known among his peers. “I lived in Texas for five years, so I was with that group of people all throughout high school. They knew everything. They knew who my dad was, they know what I’m gonna be, and my presence kinda,” Gage explained.

    Bill Goldberg’s legacy continues to influence wrestling discussions, particularly with his recent announcement of retirement plans for 2025. Speculation grows about a potential final match against World Heavyweight Champion Gunther following their Bad Blood confrontation.

After their confrontation in the ring, Heyman took to social media with a brief statement: “#WeTheOnes No.1 Worldwide.”

  • Rey Mysterio explains why Aalyah chose medicine over WWE career

    Rey Mysterio revealed why his daughter Aalyah did not pursue a wrestling career like her brother Dominik. Speaking at ComplexCon with Peter Rosenberg, the WWE Hall of Famer shared that Aalyah opted to focus on her medical studies despite her early exposure to wrestling.

    “She also loves it as much as Dom did. We played wrestling a lot, but for some reason, she was more on my wife’s side,” Rey explained. “She was the one who liked to study; one of those girls [getting] A+s all the time, still to this day, always; she’s very dedicated to her education.”

    The 23-year-old Aalyah briefly appeared on WWE television in 2020, featuring in a storyline with Buddy Matthews. While she gained popularity during her limited appearances, she chose to pursue her medical career instead of following the family’s wrestling tradition.

    Rey Mysterio proud of Dominik’s WWE evolution

    During an appearance on Cheap Heat, Rey Mysterio expressed pride in his son’s career progression. Dominik’s transformation began at Clash at the Castle 2022, when he turned on his father and joined The Judgment Day.

    “Maybe I would have thought at the time that it was a little too soon, but I was completely wrong. Look at him now. Look at all the success he’s gained. Look at the confidence booster that he has, just overall his growth. As a father and as one of his fans, I enjoy watching him in the ring every time.”

  • Triple H warns making WWE about personal preferences would doom company

    Triple H addressed criticism of modern wrestling during an appearance on Greg & The Morning Buzz in Manchester, New Hampshire. WWE’s Chief Content Officer emphasized the importance of adapting to current audience preferences rather than catering to personal tastes.

    “It’s interesting the different points of view. I know guys across many different generations, and I think there are some older performers that look at the way kids perform today and they say, ‘They’re just not doing it right,’” Triple H explained. He drew parallels to how people often dismiss contemporary music as they age, noting it’s more about generational changes than quality decline.

    The Game stressed that WWE’s survival depends on serving audience demands rather than personal preferences. “If it becomes about what I want, then the show will die. It is about what they want and that overall big picture,” he said.

The comment appears to reference Hayes’ recent backstage altercation with Cody Rhodes, whom he’s scheduled to face next Friday, while also alluding to Punk’s past AEW Brawl Out incident.

    “I liked her mask. The cover for the face. It gave her a different look too,” Mantell said. “I enjoyed this segment too, because at least it made sense. Even if you go back and put it together in context, it all makes sense.”

    Ripley announced her participation in the Women’s WarGames match at Survivor Series during her return appearance. Mantell noted the segment’s effectiveness in building toward the premium live event, calling it “one of the better shows I’ve seen in like a month or two.”

  • Current WWE champion teases Becky Lynch, suggests rivalry isn’t over

    Liv Morgan took another shot at Becky Lynch after The Man appeared at the Moana 2 premiere in Hawaii with Seth Rollins and their daughter. Morgan, the current WWE Women’s World Champion, responded to Lynch’s social media post with a mocking comment about her retirement.

    “I am so glad you are enjoying retirement. Roux looks beautiful,” Morgan wrote on Lynch’s Instagram post.

    Lynch has been absent from WWE programming since her Steel Cage match loss to Morgan on the May 27 edition of Monday Night RAW. While she recently hinted at a potential return to the ring, no specific timeline has been provided.

    The ongoing exchanges between Morgan and Lynch suggest their story might not be finished, especially considering Morgan’s role in Lynch’s last WWE appearance. Despite her current focus on family time, including public appearances like the Moana 2 premiere, Morgan’s continued taunts could set the stage for Lynch’s eventual return.

    “I knew Paul Heyman was going to be in there, but since I don’t watch RAW, you know, CM Punk has moved off my radar,” Mantell said. “It was really one of the better segments I’ve seen on SmackDown this year because they put it together fine.”

    The segment culminated in a wild brawl after Heyman introduced Punk as the fifth member of Roman Reigns’ WarGames team. The show closed with Reigns and Punk hitting their finishers before posing together in the ring.

    With Roman Reigns’ OG Bloodline still searching for their fifth WarGames team member, Heyman shocked the audience by introducing CM Punk.

    The moment carried additional significance given Heyman’s history as Punk’s mentor during his historic 400-plus day WWE Championship reign between 2011 and 2013. Following the announcement, the complete OG Bloodline team drove Solo Sikoa’s faction from the ring.

  • Paul Heyman returns on WWE SmackDown and announces fifth member of OG Bloodline for Survivor Series

    The highly anticipated return of Paul Heyman to WWE programming finally happened during last Friday Night SmackDown in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Heyman surprisingly announced that CM Punk would be the OG Bloodline’s fifth member at the premium live event, shocking everyone.

    Immediately after the announcement, Punk, Reigns, and the rest of the OG Bloodline charged at Solo Sikoa and his associates, driving them from the ring, ending this week’s show.

    Previously, there had been rumors about the possibility of Punk being announced as the fifth member of Reigns’ team, with this being orchestrated by Heyman, considering their past history together in WWE.
