WWE SmackDown airs live tonight at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT on the USA Network and Netflix for international fans, emanating from the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix, Arizona.
The Bella Twins haven’t disappeared from WWE television because they’re done wrestling — they’re simply waiting for the call.
During a recent appearance on Lala Kent’s podcast, Brie Bella addressed the duo’s current status with WWE and why fans haven’t seen them regularly since their Royal Rumble appearance earlier this year.
According to Brie, she originally expected that she and Nikki Bella would transition back into weekly programming after competing in the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble. However, WWE reportedly told the sisters that they would be brought back when there was a storyline ready for them.
Brie admitted that the situation caught her off guard, noting that five weeks have already passed since then without a follow-up from WWE creative.
Despite the wait, Brie made it clear that both she and Nikki are eager to return to the ring. With WrestleMania 42 approaching, the sisters have their eyes on a potential opportunity — particularly with the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships scheduled to be defended at the event.
Brie said they’re motivated to show that they can still compete with the current generation of WWE talent if given the right storyline and platform.
The Bella Twins’ most recent joint appearance on WWE television came during the February 2 episode of Monday Night RAW. Since then, speculation about their return has continued to circulate among fans.
Fueling those rumors even more, Nikki Bella was recently spotted in Phoenix ahead of SmackDown, sparking discussion about a possible appearance. The sisters have also confirmed that they will be involved during WrestleMania 42 weekend in Las Vegas, though exactly what that involvement looks like remains to be seen.
For now, it appears the Bellas are simply waiting for WWE creative to find the right moment to bring them back into the spotlight.
A familiar face made a surprising return on TNA Impact, as former AEW performer Allie — also known to many fans as The Bunny — showed up in a backstage segment alongside longtime ally and rival Rosemary.
Allie previously spent several years in TNA from 2013 to 2019, where she became a prominent figure in the Knockouts division. During that run, she captured the TNA Knockouts Championship twice and shared a memorable on-screen history with Rosemary, alternating between partners and adversaries.
Her original run in the promotion came to a dramatic end when her character was written off television in a storyline where she died in Rosemary’s arms. Not long after, Allie resurfaced in AEW, debuting under the name The Bunny.
While in AEW, she aligned with The Butcher and The Blade, frequently acting as their manager while also competing in the ring herself. She later formed a tag team with Penelope Ford before eventually departing the company in 2023.
In recent months, Allie has been gradually making her way back into the wrestling world. She began training for an in-ring return last year and even appeared at Border Brawl as the coach for Team Canada. Not long after, she officially returned to action at Evil Uno’s Mystery Wrestling event, teaming with Penelope Ford.
Hints about a potential TNA return started circulating recently thanks to Raven, who posted a photo on social media showing himself, Allie, and Rosemary together at a TNA taping, sparking speculation among fans.
On this week’s episode of TNA Impact, that tease paid off when Allie appeared in a backstage segment involving Rosemary, who has been involved in a series of mysterious and cryptic interactions lately.
Just before Allie’s cameo, Rosemary was shown speaking with Johnny Swinger. In a comedic moment, Swinger noticed someone walking by in a bunny costume and jokingly referred to the figure as the “Gobbledy Gooker.”
With Allie now back in the TNA universe — and once again crossing paths with Rosemary — it looks like the promotion may be revisiting one of its most unique and supernatural storylines. Fans will be watching closely to see what role The Bunny plays next.
Former WWE star Shotzi Blackheart recently experienced a frightening situation involving her family, but thankfully the story now has a positive update.
On Tuesday, March 10, Shotzi took to social media to alert fans that her brother, Dean Urbanski, had gone missing. In the now-deleted post, she explained that Urbanski had been involved in a car crash near Fort Mason in California. According to CCTV footage referenced in the post, he was seen leaving the crash site on foot shortly afterward and was believed to be disoriented.
The situation quickly spread across social media as fans and members of the wrestling community helped share the message in hopes of locating him.
Not long after the initial post, Shotzi returned with good news. She revealed that her brother had been located and taken to a hospital for care. In her update, she thanked everyone who helped circulate the information during the search.
Writing
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who shared the post, reached out, and helped spread the word. The support and kindness from so many people truly means the world to our family. Thank you all so much.
Shotzi has previously spoken about the important role her brother played in her path to professional wrestling. While she wasn’t initially a big wrestling fan herself, Urbanski was deeply into it. She has recalled spending time watching wrestling with him and playing wrestling video games together growing up.
Years later, Shotzi began watching WWE again with her sister. What started as a joke about potentially getting involved in wrestling eventually turned into something much more serious for Shotzi, who ultimately pursued a career inside the ring and made a name for herself on the independent scene before signing with WWE.
Family has always been a significant part of Shotzi’s story. In 2021, she shared a heartfelt tribute following the passing of her father. In that emotional message, she spoke about how fortunate she felt to have strong relationships with both her biological father and her stepfather. She described her dad as someone who brought energy and joy to every gathering and was often the one organizing family holidays and trips.
Shotzi also reflected on the many lessons he taught her throughout her life and the memories she will always cherish.
While the past few days have undoubtedly been stressful for Shotzi and her family, the positive outcome regarding her brother has brought relief — and plenty of gratitude toward those who helped spread the word. 🙏

WWE is making a notable change to how fans can watch one of NXT’s biggest annual events. According to WWE Hall of Famer and NXT Executive Producer Shawn Michaels, the 2026 edition of NXT Stand & Deliver will stream live globally on YouTube.
Michaels shared the announcement on his X account, revealing that the entire event will be available through WWE’s official YouTube channel.
“Guess I better figure out how to get onto @YouTube… because #StandAndDeliver streams LIVE across the globe on @WWE’s YouTube Saturday, April 4 at 7e/4p! #WWENXT,” Michaels wrote.
This year’s Stand & Deliver will take place at The Factory in St. Louis, Missouri on Saturday, April 4. The event marks a significant shift from tradition, as it will be the first time the NXT showcase is not held during WrestleMania Week. In previous years, Stand & Deliver typically served as part of WWE’s packed WrestleMania weekend lineup.
Reports have indicated that the change in scheduling was made primarily for timing reasons. Despite the adjustment, the event is still expected to feature major NXT storylines and championship matches, continuing its reputation as one of the brand’s marquee shows.
With the move to YouTube, the show could potentially reach an even wider global audience, giving fans around the world easy access to one of NXT’s biggest nights of the year.
WWE appears to have added another promising name to its growing pipeline of talent, as rising independent wrestler Nikki Blackheart is reportedly set to join the company.
According to a new report from Bodyslam+, sources within WWE indicate that Blackheart has agreed to a contract with the promotion. She is expected to report to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando in the near future, though an exact timeline for her arrival has not yet been confirmed.
Blackheart recently took part in a WWE tryout last month, and the company was said to be very impressed with her performance during the evaluation process. Those positive impressions reportedly led to WWE moving quickly to lock her in with a contract offer.
Recent developments on the independent scene also appeared to hint that a signing was imminent. Over the weekend, Blackheart dropped the MPX Women’s Championship to Priscilla Kelly, ending a brief but notable title reign. Around the same time, Winnipeg Pro Wrestling announced that she would no longer be appearing at their Voyageur Cup shows scheduled for March 13 and 14.
Despite having less than two years of in-ring experience, Blackheart has already made a name for herself across several promotions. She debuted in June 2024 at CCW Breakout 37 and has spent much of her early career competing for Coastal Championship Wrestling in Florida. Along the way, she has also picked up experience working for promotions such as AAA, Athena’s Metroplex Wrestling, and 4th Rope Wrestling.
Her most recent championship success came earlier this year when she captured the MPX Women’s Championship from Abadon at the 2026 MPX Texas Rumble on February 7. However, her reign lasted just 29 days before she dropped the title this past weekend, a move that now seems to have been part of her transition away from the independent circuit.
While WWE has not yet officially announced the signing, the expectation is that Blackheart will soon begin training and development at the Performance Center as the next chapter of her career gets underway. For a wrestler who only debuted in 2024, the reported deal marks a remarkably quick rise onto WWE’s radar.
AEW Dynamite airs live tonight at 8:00 pm ET on TBS and HBO Max from San Jose Civic in San Jose, California.
After a historic run of collecting championships across the world, AEW’s Mercedes Moné has hit a skid after failing to defeat Kris Statlander for the AEW Women’s World Championship at Full Gear. Since then, Moné has lost the Ring of Honor Women’s Television Championship to Red Velvet, the RevPro Undisputed British Women’s Championship to Alex Windsor, the AEW TBS Championship to Willow Nightingale, the CMLL World Women’s Championship to Persephone, and the Bestya Women’s Championship to Swan.
Unfortunately, the hits may keep on coming for Moné over the next 10 days. On X Wednesday morning, Revolution Pro Wrestling announced that Moné would be taking on UK star Alexxis Falcon at RevPro High Stakes on March 21. But this will not be any ordinary singles match, as Moné will be putting both the BODYSLAM Scandinavian and Discovery Scotland Women’s Championships on the line. The match comes a week after Moné is scheduled to be in Paris, where she’ll wrestle Ophelie in a match for Moné’s EWA Women’s Championship and Ophelie’s Rixe Women’s Championship.
As a result of these two shows, all part of Moné’s March tour outside of AEW, the CEO could be leaving Europe with either one more belt added to her arsenal, or continued diminishing returns, as losses to Ophelie and Falcon could leave her with just three championships remaining. The hits could keep on coming after as well, as Mone is scheduled to wrestle for Prime Time Wrestling in Poland on March 28, where she’s expected to defend the PTW Women’s Championship, and Winnipeg Pro Wrestling on March 31, where she’ll defend the WPW Women’s Championship. Losses in those matches, and in Europe, would see Mone end March having lost all but one of her titles.
