WWE Raw live tonight at 8 ET/5 PT on Netflix from the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
WWE superfan Rick Achberger, known to generations of fans as the company’s beloved “Sign Guy,” has passed away at the age of 67.
The news was shared by Lance Peterson on social media, who announced that Achberger passed away on September 27.
Achberger became a familiar face to wrestling fans through his regular appearances at WWE events across the country. Often wearing his trademark blue work shirt and red hat, he could frequently be seen seated near ringside holding signs during television broadcasts and premium live events.
Over the years, Achberger earned recognition from both fans and WWE personnel for his dedication to the company, reportedly attending as many as 40 to 50 WWE events annually. His most recent appearance was at the May 1 edition of WWE SmackDown.
While never an on-screen performer, Achberger became one of the most recognizable members of WWE’s fan community, with many viewers instantly identifying him whenever he appeared in the crowd.
WWE has announced a new multi-year global content partnership with Bleacher Report, giving the sports media brand rights to distribute highlights and other WWE-related content across its digital platforms.
The deal immediately raised questions among wrestling fans because Bleacher Report is part of TNT Sports, which falls under the Warner Bros. Discovery umbrella — the same company that currently broadcasts AEW programming in the United States. However, Warner Bros. Discovery has clarified that the new WWE agreement does not affect its existing relationship with AEW and that the two partnerships are separate arrangements.
According to WWE, the agreement gives Bleacher Report global highlight rights for major WWE programming, including Monday Night Raw, Friday Night SmackDown, NXT, and Premium Live Events such as WrestleMania. Content will be featured across Bleacher Report, House of Highlights, B/R Wrestling, and their associated social media and digital channels.
The partnership will also include on-site coverage at select WWE Premium Live Events, with Bleacher Report and House of Highlights producing original content, behind-the-scenes features, and talent-focused storytelling.
“WWE fans don’t just watch. They are highly engaged, analyze every detail and debate the sport all week long. That’s exactly the kind of passionate fandom B/R and House of Highlights were built for,” said Bennett Spector, General Manager of Bleacher Report.
WWE Executive Vice President Alex Varga added, “Bleacher Report has long been at the intersection of sports and culture. Our partnership with B/R reinforces WWE’s commitment to bringing our content to a global audience.”
The rollout of WWE content across Bleacher Report’s platforms is scheduled to begin ahead of WWE Money in the Bank on October 10.
Because Bleacher Report operates under the Warner Bros. Discovery umbrella, the announcement immediately raised questions about whether the agreement could affect AEW, which currently has a media rights partnership with WBD in the United States.
According to information provided to F4WOnline by a Warner Bros. Discovery spokesperson, the company does not view the WWE agreement as conflicting with its existing relationship with AEW.
The spokesperson noted that Bleacher Report is part of TNT Sports, which operates separately within WBD. While WBD maintains a significant relationship with AEW in the United States, the new WWE partnership is a global content arrangement and is not intended to replace or reduce support for AEW.
The company also pointed out that Bleacher Report already works with numerous sports leagues, teams, and organizations that compete with one another, describing itself as a broad sports platform that serves fans across multiple interests rather than choosing one property over another.
WBD further stated that the goal of the WWE partnership is to expand the wrestling content available to fans, not shift attention away from AEW. The spokesperson added that there are no requirements regarding how much coverage either promotion must receive and that Bleacher Report will continue to focus on the stories, talent, and moments that resonate with its audience.
The announcement comes as AEW’s current media rights agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery is set to run through the end of 2027, with an option year included in the deal.
At the same time, the expected merger involving Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery has fueled ongoing speculation about the future of AEW programming on TBS, TNT, and HBO Max.
AEW President Tony Khan has previously expressed optimism about the merger, stating that he believes the combination of HBO Max and Paramount’s assets could help increase AEW’s reach while expanding opportunities for streaming and pay-per-view distribution.
For now, WBD’s position appears clear: the new WWE-Bleacher Report partnership is being presented as an addition to the company’s sports content portfolio rather than a move that impacts its existing relationship with AEW.
The wrestling world is mourning the loss of Benjamin Satterly, known to fans around the globe as PAC. The AEW star has passed away at the age of 40.

AEW President Tony Khan has shared an encouraging update on Steven Borden following the scary injury incident that took place during AEW All Out 2026 on Saturday night.
Borden, the son of WWE Hall of Famer Sting, was competing alongside Darby Allin against Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight in a match to determine the next challengers for the AEW World Tag Team Championships. The bout came to an abrupt end after Borden and Knight collided during an aerial sequence, leaving Borden unconscious and forcing officials to stop the match.
Speaking during the AEW All Out post-show media scrum, Khan revealed that the news coming out of the hospital has been positive.
“I wanted to get down to business and say I’ve a great update. Thankfully, Steven Borden’s awake, responsive at the hospital, and he had a CT scan and all the tests have come back good. So far, all good results. We’re hopeful Steven’s going to be able to fly home tomorrow to his family. So that’s great news coming out of the pay-per-view,” Khan said.
The AEW CEO also noted that All Out was a physically demanding event for the roster, with multiple wrestlers reportedly dealing with injuries or being evaluated by medical staff following the show.
“We had a lot of wrestlers banged up, a lot of injuries, and with a lot of wrestlers getting checked out right now by the doctors, it’s going to be not as many guests tonight [for the presser],” Khan added.
The incident occurred during what was Steven Borden’s first match on an AEW pay-per-view. The match was immediately stopped after the collision, with Darby Allin visibly concerned as doctors checked on his partner inside the ring. Fletcher and Knight were subsequently awarded the victory via referee stoppage.
While the scene understandably caused concern among fans watching live, Khan’s update suggests that Steven Borden avoided a more serious outcome. With his CT scan and other tests reportedly returning positive results, AEW is optimistic that he will be able to travel home and continue his recovery with his family.
We’ll continue to provide updates on Steven Borden’s condition as more information becomes available.

TNA’s biggest event of the year is drawing closer, and a new ticket sales update has been released for Bound For Glory 2026.
According to the latest figures from WrestleTix, the October 11 pay-per-view at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida has distributed 734 tickets. That marks an increase of 12 tickets since the previous update four days earlier.
The current setup has approximately 2,444 seats available for sale, with 1,710 tickets still remaining. While the venue can reportedly hold around 9,440 fans for a wrestling event, TNA has only opened a portion of the building at this stage. The lowest-priced standard ticket is currently listed at $59.35.
The show will be headlined by Nic Nemeth defending the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against Leon Slater. Slater earned the opportunity by exercising Option C after vacating the X-Division Championship at TNA Lockdown.
With the X-Division title now vacant, a six-way scramble match will determine the new champion. Rich Swann, Cedric Alexander, Fabian Aichner, Ryan Nemeth, and KC Navarro have already qualified through tournament victories. The final spot will go to the winner of an upcoming match between Mr. Elegance and BDE.
Also scheduled is the annual Call Your Shot Gauntlet Match. The winner receives the Call Your Shot Trophy, which can be redeemed for a championship opportunity at a time of their choosing. Bear Bronson, Frankie Kazarian, and Avery Styles have been announced for the match so far.
Elsewhere on the card, Xia Brookside will put the TNA Knockouts Championship on the line against Indi Hartwell, while Eddie Edwards is set to face Ricky Sosa in singles competition.
TNA Bound For Glory 2026 takes place on Sunday, October 11, and will stream live on pay-per-view and TNA+.
People has attributed the poor ticket sales to what seems like WWE backing away from their partnership with TNA. Their is currently no WWE talent scheduled to appear on the pay-per-view.

AEW All Out – Saturday, September 26, 2026 – Now Arena in Chicago, Illinois
Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw, known to WWE fans as Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis, made their arrival on last night’s live episode of TNA Thursday Night iMPACT! on AMC.
The reveal came after several weeks of mystery attacks backstage, including an assault on Jeff Hardy. Determined to uncover who was responsible, Matt Hardy continued investigating the incidents. Last week’s episode established that two individuals were behind the attacks, setting the stage for this week’s confrontation.
With Jeff Hardy back by his side, The Hardys came to the ring and called out the attackers. Moments later, the arena lights flickered and a fight broke out. When the lights came back on, two masked men were standing over Matt and Jeff.
The pair then removed their masks and were revealed to be Sawyer and Shaw.
Adding to the debut, the Titantron displayed the name “Syx,” seemingly introducing a new identity for the duo while also nodding to their time as members of the Wyatt Sicks faction in WWE.
Shaw also debuted a different appearance, sporting short hair and a mustache reminiscent of his pre-Wyatt Sicks look.
The arrival marks a return to familiar territory for Shaw, who previously competed in TNA under the Samuel Shaw name. For Sawyer, however, the appearance represents his first run with the promotion.
With the mystery attackers now revealed, TNA has added another notable team to its roster and placed them immediately in the orbit of The Hardys.
