Former WWE Superstar Marty Jannetty has reportedly had his right foot amputated after dealing with serious health complications connected to sepsis.
The update was shared by Eddy Mansfield during a recent appearance on the Monte & The Pharaoh podcast. Mansfield, who described Jannetty as a close friend, revealed the news while discussing the former Rockers star’s ongoing medical struggles.
“One of my dearest friends ever on the face of this earth, and was a great wrestler, had his foot amputated, and his name is Marty Jannetty,” Mansfield said.
Jannetty previously opened up about his health issues in July 2025, revealing that he had been battling sepsis for roughly three years. At the time, doctors reportedly informed him that amputation of his infected ankle could become necessary.
Despite being told the procedure could provide immediate relief, Jannetty initially chose against moving forward with the amputation.
According to Mansfield’s latest comments, the situation has now escalated to the point where Jannetty ultimately underwent surgery to remove the foot.
During the podcast appearance, Mansfield also criticized WWE for what he viewed as a lack of support for the former tag team star during his health battle.
“Where in the hell was WWE to help Marty Jannetty? He made them millions of dollars, and you can’t help him when he’s in the biggest need of his life, fighting for his life. I don’t understand that,” Mansfield stated.
He continued by pointing to WWE and TKO’s financial success while arguing that more could have been done for former talent facing severe medical issues.
“These guys in WWE can get all these pay raises and all this other cr*p, screw the wrestling fans out of a bunch of damn money for tickets, but you can’t take care of the guys who make you the money.”
Jannetty became a household name during WWE’s Rockers tag team run alongside Shawn Michaels in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The team remains one of the most memorable duos of that era.
The news also comes less than a year after former WCW star Buff Bagwell underwent a leg amputation related to injuries and complications stemming from a 2020 car accident.
Sammy Guevara picked up a competitive win over Action Andretti in the opening pre-show bout. Andretti showcased his speed and athleticism throughout the match, but Guevara countered a springboard splash by getting his knees up before connecting with a neckbreaker variation and finishing things with the GTH.

Rush steamrolled LSG in dominant fashion, ending the quick contest with the Bull’s Horns. Afterward, Rush grabbed a microphone to deliver his trademark catchphrase.

Woods nearly had Nigel beaten with submissions several times, but McGuinness caught him with a rebound lariat to secure the victory.

Following the match, Andretti officially declared CRU finished.
Sammy Guevara revealed that ROH Tag Team Champion Beast Mortos is currently dealing with visa issues, delaying the next title defense. Guevara instead shifted focus toward singles gold and challenged Darby Allin to a match on Collision, which was later confirmed by commentary as official.
Deonna Purrazzo retained the Women’s Pure Championship in a submission-heavy battle centered around the armbar. Diamante targeted Purrazzo’s knee throughout the match and pushed the champion to the limit, but Purrazzo eventually trapped her in the Venus de Milo for the submission victory.
Lee Moriarty retained the ROH Pure Championship in a technical showcase against Ace Austin. After both men exhausted all available rope breaks, Moriarty used the now-legal rope leverage during a pinning combination to steal the victory.
Backstage, Red Velvet expressed frustration over being left out of the Owen Hart Tournament. She responded by signing Willow Nightingale’s open challenge for the TBS Championship on Collision.
Jordan Oliver and Alec Price announced plans to chase the ROH Tag Team Titles before being interrupted by the returning Matt Taven and Mike Bennett. The Kingdom made it clear they intend to reclaim the division.

After the match, Shane Taylor Promotions attacked until Orange Cassidy and Mark Briscoe made the save.

After the match, Swerve Strickland attacked Bandido with a House Call kick before driving him onto a chair with a vertebreaker.
Athena survived a chaotic Survival of the Fittest main event to retain the ROH Women’s World Championship.
The match featured ladders, chairs, tables, and multiple eliminations throughout the brutal contest:

A familiar face to WWE fans officially resurfaced on Thursday night, as Fabian Aichner made his debut appearance for TNA Wrestling during iMPACT!.
Previously known to WWE audiences as Giovanni Vinci, Aichner appeared immediately following Cedric Alexander’s X-Division Championship victory over Leon Slater. The former Imperium member received a noticeable reaction when his music hit, stepping onto the stage and locking eyes with the newly crowned champion.
The moment quickly made Aichner’s intentions clear — he has his sights set on the X-Division Title.
The debut marks Aichner’s first wrestling appearance since the closing stretch of his WWE run in late 2024. His final matches with the company included a short loss to Apollo Crews on SmackDown and several dark match defeats before ultimately being released.
Despite the rough ending to his WWE tenure, Aichner recently spoke positively about the next phase of his career. In an interview conducted shortly after his release, he admitted the situation initially felt like an opportunity to recharge after years on the road. At the time, he also hinted that he wasn’t rushing back into wrestling immediately — though his surprise TNA debut suggests plans may already have been in motion behind the scenes.
Aichner originally signed with WWE in 2017 after making an impression in the 2016 Cruiserweight Classic tournament. During his time with the company, he became best known as part of Imperium alongside Gunther, Ludwig Kaiser, and Alexander Wolfe. He also captured the NXT Tag Team Championships twice during his WWE career.
Now entering TNA’s X-Division scene, Aichner could immediately become one of the brand’s top power-based challengers. A future showdown with Cedric Alexander would present an interesting clash of styles, especially with Alexander coming off a major title victory.
TNA continues adding recognizable names to its roster, and Aichner’s arrival gives the X-Division another experienced veteran with international credibility.
TNA Thursday Night iMPACT! Live tonight on AMC from Sacramento Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento, California.
Chris Caray, a fourth-generation MLB play-by-play TV announcer for the Athletics and the great-grandson of Baseball Hall of Famer Harry Caray, will join the TNA Broadcast Team for the Sactown Street Fight.

WWE Superstar Piper Niven has opened up about a serious health issue, revealing that she recently underwent neck surgery after dealing with an injury over the past several months.
Taking to social media, Niven shared that she had an anterior discectomy procedure, which is commonly performed to relieve issues such as pinched nerves, herniated discs, and spinal cord compression in the neck.
In her message, Niven reflected on the difficult experience and thanked those who supported her throughout the process.
“I have so much I want to say about the past 8 months but we can get to that later.
“For now, I just want to express my endless love and gratitude for every single soul that has helped me and cared for me during this difficult and really scary time.
“Pain and heartbreak are incredible teachers and the lessons I have learned from this will stay with me forever. I am so grateful to wake up from surgery already feeling better and I know I am coming out the other side of this so much stronger for the experience.
“Lots of love”
Niven has been absent from WWE television for some time, with her last match taking place on the August 22 edition of WWE SmackDown. On that show, she picked up a notable victory over Charlotte Flair before stepping away from in-ring competition.
Reports have indicated that Niven had been working through a neck-related issue during her hiatus, and her latest update now confirms the severity of the injury.
There is currently no official timetable for her return to WWE programming, but the early signs following surgery appear positive. Fans and fellow wrestlers have already flooded social media with supportive messages as Niven begins her recovery process.
WWE star Jordynne Grace has spoken out after private photos of her were leaked online without her consent.
The situation gained attention on social media after a fan commented that leaks are common for people with premium subscription accounts. Grace quickly clarified the situation, explaining that the material being circulated did not originate from her OnlyFans content.
Responding on Twitter/X, Grace stated:
“None of that stuff is from my OF! Only ever bikini/lingerie there. Other stuff is AI and some from an old Snapchat account that was hacked and meant for my husband, unfortunately.”
According to Grace, some of the images being shared are reportedly AI-generated, while others came from a previously compromised Snapchat account containing personal content intended to remain private.
Unfortunately, Grace is far from the first wrestling personality to deal with this kind of violation of privacy. Former WWE Divas Champion Paige famously endured a similar incident earlier in her career, later revealing how devastating the experience was for her personally and mentally.
Grace has continued building momentum in WWE after first appearing for the company during the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble while still under contract with TNA Wrestling, where she was reigning Knockouts Champion at the time. Following the end of her TNA run, she officially joined WWE and returned in the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble match as a full-time WWE Superstar.
Although she has already made an impact in WWE’s women’s division, Grace has not yet captured a championship since signing with the company.
