AEW Dynamite Spring BreakThru live tonight at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT on TBS and HBO Max from the Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett, Washington.
WWE appears to be gearing up for another wave of NXT call-ups, and all signs point to the upcoming NXT: Revenge special playing a pivotal role in those plans.
According to reports circulating within the industry, several standout NXT talents are currently being discussed for a move to the main roster. Among the names reportedly under consideration are Jacy Jayne, Ethan Page, Joe Hendry, and Sol Ruca—four performers who have all made strong impressions in recent months.
The timing is noteworthy, as WWE is building toward a two-week NXT: Revenge event that looks designed to wrap up key storylines. Historically, the company has often used major events as a launching point for roster shakeups, and this situation appears to follow that same pattern.
The first week of NXT: Revenge is already shaping up with a loaded lineup. Jacy Jayne is set to go one-on-one with Lola Vice, while Joe Hendry is advertised for a concert segment—something that’s quickly become a signature part of his presentation. Ethan Page will also be in action against Tony D’Angelo in what could be a decisive moment in their ongoing rivalry.
Week two raises the stakes even further, with Sol Ruca scheduled to face ZARIA in a Last Woman Standing match. Given the stipulation and Ruca’s rising momentum, the bout could serve as a major turning point—not just for her storyline, but potentially for her future brand placement.
Behind the scenes, there’s a growing sense that NXT: Revenge is being positioned as a clean break point. Multiple feuds are expected to conclude across the two-week special, creating a natural window for talent to transition to RAW or SmackDown.
One moment that has already fueled speculation came after the latest taping, when Jacy Jayne was seen visibly emotional, blowing kisses to the crowd in what many interpreted as a farewell. If that was indeed her sendoff, it would mark the end of a highly successful NXT run.
Jayne has built an impressive résumé during her time on the brand. She captured the NXT Women’s Championship in May 2025 and held it for 150 days before going on to win the title again. She also added the TNA Knockouts Championship to her list of accomplishments in a rare cross-promotional “Winner Take All” match. While she did get a brief taste of the main roster back in 2022 alongside Gigi Dolin, those plans were cut short due to injury, leaving unfinished business on WWE’s biggest stage.
If WWE follows through with these reported call-ups, the aftermath of NXT: Revenge could significantly reshape both NXT and the main roster. With fresh faces potentially heading to RAW and SmackDown, the next few weeks could mark the start of a new chapter for several rising stars.
For weeks, it looked like WWE was steering directly toward a high-profile singles clash between IYO SKY and Asuka at WrestleMania 42. The tension has been there, the interactions have been building, and even a public challenge was thrown into the mix—but as of now, the match still hasn’t been made official, and the latest backstage update suggests things may not be as locked in as fans expected.
The situation took an interesting turn following last week’s episode of Raw, where Asuka called out SKY, only for “The Genius of the Sky” to respond with a WrestleMania challenge on social media. That alone felt like a clear signal the match was imminent. Typically, WWE doesn’t push talent to make those kinds of public challenges unless there’s a plan in place.
However, that momentum stalled. On this week’s Raw, SKY faced Kairi Sane, Asuka’s Damage CTRL ally, and while Asuka got involved to cost SKY the match, WWE still stopped short of confirming the WrestleMania bout. That raised eyebrows—and now we may know why.
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, the match is currently in a state of uncertainty. While it hasn’t been outright canceled, it also hasn’t been finalized. Meltzer noted that SKY even removed her WrestleMania challenge from social media, which only adds to the confusion surrounding the situation.
Behind the scenes, there’s reportedly been talk that the match could be shifted to Backlash instead. While that’s not a definite decision, it’s being considered, especially given WrestleMania Sunday’s already packed lineup. At one point, SKY vs. Asuka was expected to land on night two of the event, but timing constraints may have forced WWE to rethink their plans.
At this stage, the door isn’t completely closed on the match happening at WrestleMania—but it’s far from guaranteed. Whether it gets squeezed onto the card last-minute or saved for a future premium live event, the company is clearly still weighing its options.
For now, fans hoping to see SKY and Asuka collide on the biggest stage of the year may have to wait a little longer—or at least keep a close eye on any last-minute changes leading into WrestleMania weekend.

The proposed merger between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery is facing major resistance—and it’s no longer just about business logistics.
A coalition of more than 1,000 professionals from across the film and television industry has signed an open letter urging regulators to block the deal. This group includes actors, writers, directors, and crew members, with over 75 Academy Award winners and nominees lending their names to the effort.
Their concern centers on what a merger of this scale could mean for the creative landscape. The argument is straightforward: fewer major studios often leads to fewer opportunities. According to the letter, combining two media giants could limit competition, reduce creative independence, and narrow the diversity of stories being told.
The signatories also pointed out that media consolidation is already a growing issue. In their view, approving another massive merger would only tighten the grip a handful of corporations have over the entertainment industry—something they believe could have long-term consequences for both creators and audiences.
Up to this point, much of the discussion around the Paramount–WBD deal has focused on financial viability and regulatory red tape. However, this organized response from within Hollywood adds a new layer of pressure. Regulators now have to consider not just economic factors, but also the concerns of the creative community itself.
There are also potential ripple effects for the wrestling world. AEW’s programming currently airs across Warner Bros. Discovery platforms like TNT, TBS, and HBO Max. Any delays, restructuring, or changes tied to the merger could impact media rights deals, scheduling, and the company’s long-term streaming strategy.
At this stage, the situation has clearly evolved beyond a corporate transaction. For many in Hollywood, it’s become a broader debate about control—specifically, who gets to shape the future of entertainment and decide which stories reach the audience.
Former WWE star Alberto Del Rio, also known as Alberto El Patron (real name Alberto Rodriguez), is once again in legal trouble following a domestic violence incident in Mexico.
According to reports, Rodriguez was arrested earlier in the week after his wife contacted emergency services. Authorities from the State Civil Guard responded to the call and reportedly caught the situation in progress, noting visible injuries to the victim, including marks on her arms and face.
Following his arrest, Rodriguez was taken into custody and held at La Pila prison while the State of San Luis Potosí’s Attorney General’s Office built the case. By Saturday, he was formally charged and appeared before a judge.
During the hearing, Rodriguez reportedly admitted wrongdoing and expressed remorse. The court granted him a conditional release, which comes with several strict requirements. These include attending rehabilitation programs for aggressors, having no contact with the victim, and covering damages related to the incident.
Reports also indicate that this was not an isolated situation, with prior alleged incidents contributing to the severity of the case.
As part of the resolution, Rodriguez agreed to pay approximately 1 million pesos to the victim, which factored into the judge’s decision to allow his release.
This marks another serious legal issue for the former WWE Champion. Fans may recall his 2020 arrest in San Antonio on charges of sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping. That case ultimately did not result in a conviction after the accuser failed to appear in court, and Rodriguez was acquitted in 2021.
Outside the courtroom, the fallout has already impacted his wrestling career. Rodriguez had previously been suspended from AAA following an incident involving fans in Tijuana. In light of this latest arrest, The Crash Lucha Libre has also suspended him.
With both legal and professional consequences mounting, Rodriguez’s future in the wrestling industry remains uncertain.
AEW Dynasty 2026 delivered a loaded night of action, title changes, and brutal battles from top to bottom. From the Zero Hour pre-show to a dramatic main event, here’s a full rundown of everything that went down.
TNA delivered a packed night at Rebellion 2026, featuring multiple championship clashes, storyline twists, and a major Hall of Fame announcement. Here’s how everything went down.
Rebellion 2026 delivered on multiple fronts—new champions crowned, shocking betrayals, and the return of EC3, all capped off by Santana standing tall to close the night.
TNA Wrestling has officially revealed its first name for the 2026 Hall of Fame class, and it’s a familiar one to longtime fans. ODB is headed for induction following a memorable moment at Rebellion 2026.
After competing in a six-woman Hardcore Country tag team match, the post-match scene quickly shifted into something far more meaningful. TNA President Carlos Silva and Tommy Dreamer entered the ring, clearing out The Elegance Brand to make way for a special announcement. With Mickie James and Taryn Terrell by her side, ODB was caught off guard as Dreamer spoke about the importance of genuine moments in professional wrestling.
Dreamer praised ODB’s contributions to the business and even teased the possibility of her returning to TNA—though not without joking that she might need to clean up her look. Silva then made it official, confirming that ODB will be inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame later this year at Bound For Glory. The announcement was met with an emotional reaction, as ODB took a moment to thank the fans who supported her throughout her career.
ODB’s legacy in TNA is hard to overlook. A four-time Knockouts Champion, she also held the Knockouts Tag Team Titles and won the Gauntlet for the Gold match twice. Her unique personality and hard-hitting style helped define an era of the Knockouts division, making her one of the most memorable figures in its history.
With her induction now confirmed, ODB’s impact on TNA will be celebrated on one of the company’s biggest stages later this year.
