AEW Bringing “Brawl in the Ballpark” To MLB Stadium This July

AEW is continuing its recent trend of running shows from unconventional venues, and this summer the company will officially head to a Major League Baseball stadium for a special event.

Following the buzz surrounding AEW Collision: Fairway To Hell earlier this month at the SoFi Center’s indoor golf venue in Florida, AEW has now announced “Brawl in the Ballpark,” scheduled for Friday, July 10 at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The event will take place after the Minnesota Twins vs. Detroit Tigers game, marking another unique crossover presentation for the promotion.

The announcement was made during Tuesday night’s action at Target Field, where Minnesota natives Dante and Darius Martin of Top Flight appeared to hype the upcoming show. However, the segment quickly turned physical when Jeff Jarrett interrupted and blindsided the duo.

Jarrett didn’t hold back during his promo, taking shots at both the hometown crowd and the state itself.

“Every Minnesota Twin fan, as a matter of fact, the entire state of Minnesota is nothing but a bunch of pathetic losers. Friday night, July 10th, AEW is hosting Brawl in the Ballpark and I’m going to get the job done.”

So far, Jarrett and Top Flight are the only names publicly connected to the event, though more talent announcements are expected in the coming weeks.

One of the biggest questions surrounding the show is how AEW plans to use the baseball stadium layout. At Fairway To Hell, wrestlers incorporated golf course features like sand traps and putting greens into the action, helping the special stand out visually from standard arena broadcasts.

With Target Field now serving as the backdrop, fans are already speculating about possible entrances, stadium brawls, and creative use of the baseball diamond itself.

AEW has also released several VIP ticket options for the event, including:

  • Theme Night Package
  • VIP Ringside Package
  • Truly on Deck Package

Each package includes admission to the show and a complimentary Lucha Mask Hat. Fans who purchase the VIP Ringside package will receive reserved ringside seating, while the Truly on Deck experience offers elevated views overlooking the stadium setup.

As AEW continues experimenting with themed presentation concepts and non-traditional venues, “Brawl in the Ballpark” could end up being one of the company’s more visually distinctive events of the year.

Former WWE Star Enzo Reportedly Seen At WWE Performance Center – Big Bill’s AEW Contract Expiring Soon?

A familiar face from WWE’s past may be back on the company’s radar.

According to a report from False Finish, former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore was recently spotted at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. The outlet noted that Amore was present at the facility on Tuesday ahead of this week’s episode of WWE NXT on The CW.

False Finish shared the following update on X:

“False Finish has learned that former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore has been at the WWE Performance Center recently and was there yesterday ahead of #WWENXT.”

Amore’s WWE run came to an abrupt end in January 2018 after sexual assault allegations surfaced against him. WWE suspended him on January 22 before officially parting ways with him the following day. Later that year, the Phoenix Police Department closed the investigation without filing charges.

Since leaving WWE, Amore — who has performed under the name Real1 — has remained active on the independent wrestling scene. Over the years, he has appeared for promotions including MLW, GCW, House of Glory, and Northeast Wrestling while also pursuing music projects outside the ring.

The timing of the reported Performance Center visit has sparked speculation among fans due to another recent report involving Big Bill, formerly known in WWE as Big Cass.

Fightful Select reported back in April that Big Bill’s AEW deal could expire around late May or early June 2026. Bill has been largely absent from AEW programming in recent months, wrestling only a handful of matches this year and not appearing on television since a February episode of Collision.

With Amore reportedly back around WWE and Big Bill’s AEW future uncertain, talk of a potential Enzo & Cass reunion has naturally picked up online.

The duo became one of WWE’s most popular tag teams during their NXT and main roster run in the mid-2010s. Their charisma and crowd reactions helped make them standout acts on both brands before WWE split them up in 2017 with Cass turning on Enzo during an episode of Raw.

While they never captured tag team gold on the WWE main roster, the team was widely considered one of the hottest acts of that era. Big Cass eventually departed WWE in 2018 before rebuilding his career through IMPACT Wrestling, the independent scene, and eventually AEW as Big Bill.

At this point, there’s no official word regarding a WWE return for Amore, but his reported appearance at the Performance Center is already generating plenty of discussion about what could potentially be next.

Brock Lesnar Shocks WWE Raw With Destructive Return, Targets Oba Femi

Brock Lesnar made a stunning return on this week’s episode of WWE Raw, and his first target was none other than Oba Femi.

“The Ruler” was set to issue an open challenge on Monday night, but the segment never officially began. Before Femi could even complete his entrance and strike his signature in-ring pose, Lesnar stormed out and blindsided the former champion in a brutal assault.

The returning “Beast Incarnate” delivered multiple F5s to Femi, leaving him laid out in the center of the ring while the crowd erupted. Lesnar then stared down his WrestleMania rival and exchanged words with him before heading back up the entrance ramp.

The attack comes just weeks after Femi scored a massive victory over Lesnar during the opening bout of WrestleMania 42 night two. Following that loss, Lesnar appeared to hint at retirement by leaving his gloves and boots in the ring — a longtime wrestling tradition often associated with stepping away from the business.

That moment fueled speculation that Lesnar’s WWE career may have come to an end. WWE even moved him to the alumni section of its official website, though reports indicated he was still internally listed as an active performer. Rumors had also circulated that Lesnar could officially retire at SummerSlam later this year, especially with the event scheduled to take place in Minnesota, Lesnar’s adopted home state.

However, Monday’s Raw strongly suggested that retirement plans may be on hold.

Later in the show, Paul Heyman added another layer to the story during a backstage confrontation with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce. Heyman insisted that Lesnar is technically “retired,” but then handed Pearce paperwork for a potential match at Clash in Italy. According to Heyman, if Pearce can convince Femi to sign the contract, WWE would have “the biggest rematch in history” on its hands.

With Lesnar officially back in the mix and tensions escalating quickly, it appears WWE is building toward another blockbuster collision between the veteran powerhouse and one of the company’s fastest-rising stars.

Garrett Borden, Sting’s Son, Makes Pro Wrestling Debut At Dustin Rhodes’ Indie Promotion

Another member of Sting’s family has officially entered the wrestling world.

Garrett Borden, the son of WWE Hall of Famer and AEW legend Sting, recently made his in-ring debut at a Rhodes Wrestling Association event in Texas. Footage of the match surfaced online early Monday through JJA Sport Studio on X, giving fans their first look at Garrett in action.

The Rhodes Wrestling Association is operated by AEW veteran Dustin Rhodes, who also runs the Rhodes Wrestling Academy. In the clip making the rounds online, Garrett faced Brandon Barretta and showcased several moves tied closely to his father’s legacy. Among the highlights were multiple Sting Splashes and a big clothesline before he finished the bout with a Torture Rack-style Samoan Drop — a move that many fans connected to Lex Luger, Sting’s longtime friend and tag team partner.

Garrett’s wrestling debut comes as somewhat of a surprise, as there had been little public indication that he was training for a career in the business. His brother, Steven Borden, has been more visible on the wrestling scene over the last year after training alongside names like Darby Allin and FTR. Steven has already competed in dark matches for AEW and appeared for independent promotions including DEFY and Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling.

While Garrett’s training background hasn’t been confirmed, there is already a family connection to Dustin Rhodes’ school. Garrett’s wife, Kaetlyn Borden, previously trained under Rhodes and competed as “Jael” for the Rhodes Wrestling Association, Ring of Honor, and several other promotions before later transitioning into a backstage role with AEW.

Although this was Garrett’s first official match, longtime wrestling fans may remember seeing him years ago during Sting’s run in TNA Wrestling. He was briefly involved in a storyline with Jeff Jarrett during the mid-2000s. More recently, Garrett appeared alongside Steven during Sting’s retirement run in AEW in 2024.

The brothers played a memorable role at Sting’s final match at AEW Revolution, where they helped neutralize The Young Bucks after weeks of attacks on their father. Steven appeared dressed as Wolfpack Sting, while Garrett paid tribute to Sting’s classic Surfer Sting look during the surprise appearance.

With both of Sting’s sons now stepping into the wrestling spotlight, it’ll be interesting to see whether Garrett continues pursuing an in-ring career moving forward.

Report: Baron Corbin (Bishop Dyer) Could Be Headed Back To WWE

A possible WWE comeback may be in the works for former United States Champion Baron Corbin, who has been competing outside the company under the name Bishop Dyer since his 2024 release.

According to recent reports, Corbin’s name has quietly resurfaced in WWE discussions. Dave Meltzer first mentioned over the weekend that there were rumors of Corbin potentially re-signing with the company. Fightful Select has since added that internal speculation about a return has reportedly been circulating backstage for several weeks.

While nothing is finalized, one WWE source reportedly described the idea as “out of left field,” noting that a deal is far from confirmed. Even so, the report states that Corbin’s name has definitely been brought up internally.

Since leaving WWE, Corbin has stayed active across several promotions. Over the last two years, he has spent time in Major League Wrestling while also making appearances for companies including CMLL, Maple Leaf Pro, and World Series Wrestling. Earlier this year, he even worked a dark match at an AEW Dynamite taping thanks to not being under an exclusive MLW contract.

Corbin also teamed with former WWE talent Donovan Dijak during his MLW run, though the report noted there has been no similar internal discussion regarding Dijak potentially returning to WWE.

Despite his departure from the company in 2024, Fightful reported that Corbin has remained on good terms with WWE officials and talent. Several sources reportedly indicated they would not be shocked to see him back in the fold eventually.

Corbin originally signed with WWE in 2012 and went on to become one of the company’s most recognizable mid-card names over the next decade. During his tenure, he captured the United States Championship, won the King of the Ring tournament, and held the Money in the Bank briefcase.

At this point, there is no word on when or where a possible return could happen, but the rumors surrounding Corbin’s WWE future are beginning to gain momentum.

WWE’s IYO SKY Reveals Marriage To Former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Naraku (EVIL)

WWE star IYO SKY has officially announced that she is married to fellow WWE talent Naraku, the performer previously known to wrestling fans as EVIL during his run in New Japan Pro-Wrestling.

SKY shared the news on social media by posting a wedding photo alongside a heartfelt statement from the couple. The announcement quickly drew attention across the wrestling world, especially given both stars’ long histories in the Japanese wrestling scene before arriving in WWE.

In their statement, the pair reflected on how their wrestling journeys began in Japan before eventually bringing them together on the same stage in WWE.

They spoke about supporting one another not only as WWE Superstars, but also as husband and wife, promising to continue growing together while chasing even greater success in the industry. The message also thanked fans and industry peers who have supported them throughout their careers.

IYO SKY has become one of WWE’s top international stars since signing with the company in 2018. After making waves in the Mae Young Classic and NXT, she eventually rose to championship success on the main roster and established herself as one of the standout performers in WWE’s women’s division.

Naraku is still in the early stages of his WWE run, having only recently debuted in NXT by confronting NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo. Before joining WWE, he built a major reputation in NJPW under the ring name EVIL, where he captured the IWGP Heavyweight Championship and became one of the promotion’s most recognizable stars.

Both competitors also share deep roots in Japan’s wrestling landscape. While Naraku found success in NJPW, SKY became one of STARDOM’s defining names, earning multiple championship reigns and recognition as one of the promotion’s top stars.

The announcement marks one of the biggest real-life wrestling relationship reveals in recent memory, with fans across WWE and Japanese wrestling communities already sending congratulations to the newly married couple.
