Shotzi Blackheart has officially signed with TNA Wrestling following her surprise appearance at the company’s television tapings in Dothan, Alabama, on October 13.
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, Blackheart has put pen to paper with TNA after her contract with Major League Wrestling expired. Her appearance at the post-Bound For Glory tapings sparked speculation about her future, and the latest report confirms she will be joining the promotion.
“Shotzi has signed with TNA, myself and @FightfulSelect have confirmed,” Sapp reported.
Shotzi Returns to TNA After Previous IMPACT Run
Blackheart is no stranger to TNA, having previously competed for IMPACT Wrestling in 2019. During that run, she wrestled twice, including a match against Madison Rayne.
Her new deal marks another opportunity for Blackheart to establish herself in the promotion following her time with MLW. Further details about her role in TNA and when she will make her next appearance have not been provided in the supplied report.
Shotzi Withdraws From CMLL Women’s Grand Prix
Alongside the news of her TNA signing, Blackheart has also withdrawn from the CMLL Women’s Grand Prix tournament scheduled for next week following the death of her brother, Dean.
Blackheart shared the news publicly, explaining that although her family had encouraged her to fulfill her commitments this week, she needed to return home to be with them and honor her brother’s memory.
“Late Sunday night, I lost my brother Dean. Being away from my family these last few days has been hard, but they’ve been so supportive and encouraged me to fulfill my commitments this week.
“I will, however, need to withdraw from my CMLL tour next week to be with my family and honor my brother’s memory. It was a huge honor to be selected for the CMLL Grand Prix, and I don’t take that opportunity lightly. Thank you to everyone at CMLL and the fans for understanding how hard all this is for me.”
CMLL has not yet announced a replacement for Blackheart in the tournament.
Our condolences go out to Shotzi and her family during this difficult time.

TNA Wrestling has officially cut ties with Max Caster following controversy surrounding a line in his pre-match rap at Bound For Glory that referenced violence in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Caster, formerly of AEW, made his surprise TNA debut at Sunday’s pay-per-view, facing Moose in a singles match. During his trademark rap entrance, Caster delivered the line, “This the firing squad, I drop bombs, you don’t even need to go to Riyadh.”
The remark drew backlash because it referenced recent violent attacks in Riyadh that reportedly killed and injured numerous people. According to reports from Fightful Select, the lyric was not scripted or approved by TNA officials.
TNA Issues Statement on Max Caster’s Departure
TNA President Carlos Silva and company management moved to address the situation following the controversy. Reports indicate that the match and rap segment were removed from TNA+ replays, the company’s official YouTube channel and its social media platforms.
TNA also released a statement condemning the comments and confirming that Caster would no longer compete for the promotion.
“During Sunday’s Bound For Glory pay-per-view, insensitive comments were made by Max Caster referencing attacks in Riyadh that killed and injured many people. Making light of violent attacks is wrong. This should never have made it into the show, and that responsibility is ours… Max Caster will no longer be wrestling for TNA.”
The company acknowledged its own responsibility for allowing the remark to make it onto the show while making clear that Caster’s time with TNA had come to an end.
Caster’s appearance at Bound For Glory was expected to introduce him to TNA audiences following his time with AEW. Instead, the controversial rap overshadowed his match against Moose and led to the promotion publicly confirming his departure.
Although Caster competed in the match, TNA’s statement leaves little ambiguity about his status with the company: he will no longer be wrestling for the promotion.
The situation also prompted TNA to remove the relevant footage from its official platforms, further distancing the company from the incident.
Max Caster Issues Statement on His TNA Firing, Apologizes to Carlos Silva & TNA Office
Max Caster has now issued a statement on his dismissal from TNA on his X account.
Caster was apologetic to TNA Wrestling staff and company president Carlos Silva, addressing that he spoke to him in person about the issue. He stated the following in the clip:
“Just to address all the TNA stuff, I want to say thank you to Carlos Silva. I talked to him in person. He was very generous, very professional, even after all this stuff happened. And I understand why he did what he did. It’s his show. He’s got to protect TNA, and I went too far for him.
So, I want to apologize to him and everybody else in the office. I want to apologize to anyone who vouched for me to get that spot. I feel like I let those people down.
Thank you to Moose for sharing your platform with me, and I wish things didn’t turn out the way they did, but I’m proud of that match, and I’m sorry for how things have ended up.
And then for anybody who’s offended, I just want everybody to know that when I do these raps, it’s never to offend people. It’s only to entertain. So in my mind, it’s entertainment value first. And then if you’re offended by it, that’s your right. So I can’t apologize for anyone being offended, but just know that it’s not my intention to make people upset. If it gets a reaction, I think I did my job. It was a very relevant part of the show and highly talked about, so I feel good about that. But the consequences of everything, I’m accepting that. I can accept the facts of that.
And then to anybody who is asking if I’m good, I’m good. I’m just embarrassed how all this happened. It’s, you know, you don’t want it to be one match and then that’s it, you get fired. But again, that’s the reality of the situation. I’m accepting it, and that’s life. And in life, sometimes you got to man up and just accept it and move on.
So whatever’s next, I don’t know, but we’ll see. Thank you, everybody who’s reaching out and supporting.”
WWE is reportedly preparing a contingency plan for Crown Jewel 2026 as ongoing conflict in the Middle East raises concerns about holding the premium live event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Despite the security concerns, Riyadh remains WWE’s publicly announced destination for the November event. However, a new report indicates the company has a backup location in the United States under consideration if circumstances force a change of plans.
According to F4WOnline‘s Bryan Alvarez, WWE continues to plan for Crown Jewel to take place in Saudi Arabia but has another option available.
“As of 10 AM ET today, Riyadh is still the plan for Crown Jewel, although there is a backup city in the US that is on the table,” Alvarez reported.
Security Concerns Raise Questions About Crown Jewel
The report comes amid escalating violence and security concerns across the Middle East. According to the supplied report, operations at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh were recently suspended following an airstrike attributed to Houthi forces. The reported strikes left 12 people dead and approximately 300 injured.
The U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia also issued a security alert advising American citizens to avoid the airport and surrounding areas. The warning highlighted the possibility of flight cancellations, airspace closures and other travel disruptions.
The U.S. State Department’s Level 3 travel advisory for the region has added to concerns about travel and event logistics.
While these developments could complicate WWE’s plans, the company has not publicly announced a relocation or cancellation of Crown Jewel.
WWE Still Promoting Riyadh as Host City
WWE continues to promote Riyadh as the destination for Crown Jewel. WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque recently shared a new poster advertising the event, with Saudi Arabia still listed as the host location.
For now, there has been no official announcement that WWE intends to move the show. The reported backup city would give the company another option if the security situation makes staging the event in Saudi Arabia unfeasible.
When Is WWE Crown Jewel 2026?
Crown Jewel 2026 is scheduled for November 7 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, at Riyadh Season Stadium in the King Abdullah Financial District.
For the time being, Riyadh remains the planned host city. Whether WWE ultimately needs to activate its reported U.S. contingency plan will depend on how the situation develops in the coming weeks.

Ricky Sosa Defeats Eddie Edwards
Ricky Sosa opened the pay-per-view with a victory over Eddie Edwards in a competitive match that featured interference from Alisha Edwards.
Alisha helped Eddie gain control early, but Sosa rallied with high-flying offense, including a springboard cutter. Eddie answered with a Tiger Driver and nearly finished the match with the Boston Knee Party. However, Sosa countered with a Michinoku Driver before catching Alisha’s attempted dive and turning it into a Blue Thunder Bang.
Eddie had another opportunity to win after landing the Boston Knee Party, but he hesitated while checking on his wife. That decision proved costly. After Eddie missed a moonsault, Sosa connected with two running uppercuts to secure the pinfall victory.
The two wrestlers shook hands after the match.
Amazing Red Wins the X-Division Championship
Amazing Red captured the vacant TNA X-Division Championship in a seven-way match against Cedric Alexander, Fabian Aichner, Rich Swann, KC Navarro, BDE and Ryan Nemeth.
The title had been vacated after Leon Slater exercised Option C, putting the championship up for grabs in a fast-paced contest.
Navarro came close to winning after hitting Sliced Bread on Aichner, but Nemeth pulled the referee out of the ring to stop the count. Later, Red battled Navarro on the turnbuckles before gaining the advantage with an avalanche Spanish Fly. Red followed up with the Code Red to pin Navarro and claim the championship.
Shayna Baszler and Zoey Serrano Win the Knockouts Tag Team Titles
Shayna Baszler and Zoey Serrano defeated reigning champions Allie and Kiera Hogan to capture the Knockouts World Tag Team Championship.
Baszler established control early with her technical wrestling, and the challengers spent much of the match targeting Hogan’s legs. Hogan eventually made the tag to Allie, who came alive with a backbreaker inspired by The Butcher.
The champions struggled to regain momentum as Serrano and Baszler worked together to isolate Allie. Serrano landed a Codebreaker before launching Allie into a knee strike from Baszler. Baszler then locked in a rear-naked choke, forcing Allie to pass out and bringing the title reign to an end.
Frankie Kazarian Wins the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Again
Frankie Kazarian won the Call Your Shot Gauntlet for the third consecutive year, last eliminating Trey Miguel to secure the victory.
The match featured several notable moments, including M by Elegance accidentally eliminating Heather by Elegance while tossing Harley Hudson from the ring. Ben Bishop also attempted to take Jada Stone’s place in the match, only for Stone to eliminate him shortly afterward.
AJ Francis made his TNA debut during the gauntlet and played a major role late in the contest, eliminating Avery Styles from the final four. Kazarian, meanwhile, remained loyal to Styles rather than turning on his partner.
The final two came down to Kazarian and Miguel. After a rapid exchange of roll-ups, Kazarian trapped Miguel for the three-count.
Following his victory, Kazarian addressed speculation about how he would use his Call Your Shot opportunity. Rather than targeting the TNA World Championship, he revealed that he intends to challenge for the TNA tag team titles alongside Avery Styles.
Order of entrance: 1. Trey Miguel, 2. Avery Styles, 3. Bear Bronson, 4. Frankie Kazarian, 5. Dutch, 6. LJ Cleary, 7. Gabby Forza, 8. Matthew Rehwoldt, 9. Heather by Elegance, 10. Vincent, 11.

Jason Hotch Captures the TNA International Championship
Jason Hotch defeated Mustafa Ali, John Skyler and Agent Zero in a four-way match to win the TNA International Championship.
Agent Zero initially used his power advantage to dominate the competition. Ali eventually convinced Hotch and Skyler to work together against the powerhouse, leading to a major table sequence involving Tasha Steelz and Mila Moore.
Ali hit a 450 splash through the table, but the competitors couldn’t capitalize before Zero returned to the action. Zero then overwhelmed Skyler and nearly put Hotch away with a chokeslam.
Hotch escaped and rallied with a superkick, a spinning torture rack bomb and a flying stomp. Ali appeared poised to steal the victory with another 450 splash, but Hotch countered the pin attempt into a crucifix roll-up to win the championship.
Indi Hartwell Wins the Knockouts Championship
Indi Hartwell defeated Xia Brookside to win the Knockouts World Championship, with Mickie James serving as the special guest referee.
Brookside resorted to cheating throughout the match, including thumbing Hartwell in the eye. When James confronted the champion over her actions, Brookside shoved and slapped the referee. James responded with a punch that knocked Brookside to the mat.
The finish centered on an exposed turnbuckle. Brookside escaped Hurts Donut and sent Hartwell into the steel before connecting with her lifting DDT, but Hartwell kicked out.
Brookside attempted the move again, only for Hartwell to reverse the situation and send the champion into the exposed turnbuckle. Hartwell followed with a flying elbow drop and Hurts Donut to score the pinfall and win the title.
Moose Defeats Max Caster
Moose defeated Max Caster in a competitive singles match that went beyond the usual antics associated with Caster’s entrance and microphone work.
Caster found openings by driving Moose into the steel steps and countering a spear attempt with a back body drop onto the steps. He also made it clear that he wanted to win in the ring rather than rely on a count-out.
Moose eventually rallied, connecting with a headbutt, a uranage and a senton. Caster avoided one spear attempt, but Moose found his opening when he raised his knees to block Caster’s flying Mic Drop elbow.
Moose then landed the spear to earn the victory. The two exchanged respect after the match.
Syx Defeats The Hardys in Falls Count Anywhere Match – Erick Redbeard Helps Syx
Syx defeated The Hardys in a wild Falls Count Anywhere match featuring tables, ladders and chairs.
The fight moved throughout the venue, including the crowd and merchandise area. One of the night’s biggest spots saw Jeff Hardy leap from a balcony with a Swanton Bomb, driving Samuel Shaw through tables.
The action later reached the stage, where The Hardys hit a pair of Twists of Fate before setting up ladders and tables for another high-risk sequence.
As Matt and Jeff encouraged the crowd, Erick Redbeard (A.K.A. Erick Rowan), appeared on stage. Redbeard chokeslammed Matt through a table and powerbombed Jeff through another, turning the match in Syx’s favor.
Syx then worked together to bring The Hardys back to the ring. Joseph Sawyer powerbombed Shaw onto the fallen Hardys before covering Jeff to secure the win.
Leon Slater defeated Nic Nemeth to capture the TNA World Championship in the main event, ending Nemeth’s reign in dramatic fashion.
The match remained competitive throughout, with the action intensifying late. Nemeth attempted his superkick, but Slater caught it and responded with a superkick of his own before following up with a scissor kick.
Slater climbed to the top rope and landed the Swanton 450, but Nemeth survived the pin attempt. A second attempt ended when Nemeth raised his knees, then caught Slater in a cradle. Slater kicked out, and Nemeth followed with a headbutt and the Danger Zone, but the challenger again refused to stay down.
Slater later sent Nemeth to the outside with a Blue Thunder Bomb and launched himself over the ring post with a dive. Back inside, Slater initially found Nemeth out of position for another Swanton 450, so he adjusted and landed a long-distance flying splash instead.
Slater then climbed the turnbuckles once more and connected with the Swanton 450 to score the decisive pinfall and become the new TNA World Champion.
The victory closed out Bound For Glory with one of the biggest milestones of Slater’s career.
