Avery Styles, the son of WWE Hall of Famer and TNA legend AJ Styles, may be dealing with an injury following TNA Wrestling’s recent television tapings in Dothan, Alabama.
According to Fightful Select, several wrestlers were left “banged up” following the tapings, with Styles among those reportedly affected. The young talent was seen wearing a walking boot, although no further details about the nature or severity of the injury have emerged.
As of the latest report, there has been no additional update on Styles’ condition or how much time he might miss.
Styles has been building momentum since signing with TNA at Lockdown in August. Despite having limited in-ring experience, he has already appeared alongside Frankie Kazarian and competed in the 20-man Call Your Shot Gauntlet at Bound For Glory.
On October 13, Styles defeated Joe Alonzo at TNA’s Dothan tapings. The match has yet to air on TNA iMPACT and is set to mark his first televised singles match for the promotion.
His previous appearance came in an August dark match, where he lost to Brian Myers shortly after TNA announced his signing.
Styles joined the company with only six matches on his record, including appearances for Game Changer Wrestling (GCW), making his early opportunities in TNA a notable step in his development.
At Bound For Glory, Styles entered the Call Your Shot Gauntlet at number two, starting the match alongside Trey Miguel. He managed to eliminate Mr. Elegance before being taken out by AJ Francis.
Styles was knocked out of the air and sent to the floor by Francis while attempting a springboard maneuver, ending his involvement in the match.
Kazarian ultimately won the gauntlet for the third consecutive year. Afterward, he revealed that he intended to use his opportunity to challenge for the TNA World Tag Team Championships, with Styles as his partner.
If Styles is sidelined by the reported injury, it could affect those plans, although TNA has not announced any changes to the prospective team or provided an official injury update.
For now, the extent of Styles’ condition remains unclear, and fans will have to wait for further information on when he might return to action.
WWE Raw live tonight at 8:00 pm ET/5:00 pm PT on Netflix from the Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California.
TNA Wrestling is preparing for a busy period of contract negotiations, with a number of talent deals reportedly set to expire over the next couple of months.
According to Fightful Select, TNA President Carlos Silva held a talent meeting during a recent television taping to address the upcoming expirations and inform the roster that contract discussions would be taking place soon.
During the meeting, Silva reportedly told talent that the company would be working to get many of the deals finalized in the coming weeks.
The report also noted that Silva wants TNA to be able to plan ahead creatively, making it important for the company to gain clarity on its roster as contracts approach their expiration dates.
The meeting was intended to keep talent informed and let them know that conversations about their futures with TNA would be happening soon.
While the report indicates that multiple contracts are set to expire in the near future, Fightful Select specifically noted that “a lot” of deals are due to expire in December.
It remains unclear which wrestlers are involved or how many contracts are up for renewal. No specific names or contract outcomes were included in the report.
With negotiations expected to get underway in the coming weeks, TNA will look to establish greater certainty around its roster as the company plans its upcoming creative direction.
“Timeless” Toni Storm’s absence from AEW may finally be moving toward a resolution, as mysterious cassette tapes containing recordings of the former AEW Women’s World Champion surfaced around WrestleDream 2026.
Storm has been away from AEW for seven months. Her last major appearance came at Revolution, where she defeated Marina Shafir before coming face-to-face with Ronda Rousey. However, just days later, Storm was found laid out backstage at AEW Dynamite, and she has remained missing ever since, with no clear explanation for her disappearance or a confirmed return date.
That changed at WrestleDream, where wrestling fan and podcaster Astrid Pizarro revealed she had received a cassette tape featuring recordings of Storm.
Pizarro later shared transcripts of the recordings before posting the audio to YouTube on Sunday. The audio began with an introduction from AEW’s Renee Paquette, who explained that a mysterious brown paper package had arrived at AEW headquarters the previous week.
The package was tied together with string and had no return address. Inside were five analog cassette tapes, with the recording sent to Pizarro titled “Mundanities.”
The first four tracks offered different glimpses into Storm’s life and personality. “Morning Mantra” featured Storm beginning her day, while “Talking to Chauncy” captured a vulgar conversation with her dog.
The short track “Seminar” saw Storm offering advice to aspiring wrestlers. Meanwhile, “Cinema” featured Storm performing in her unreleased film Toni Toni Toni alongside an unidentified actor.
Although Paquette confirmed that “Mundanities” contained a fifth track titled “Death,” the recording itself was not played. Instead, Paquette described it as “fantastical, mysterious, it’s undeniably timeless.”
Four additional cassette tapes have yet to be released, leaving plenty of unanswered questions about the recordings and what they might mean for Storm’s ongoing AEW storyline.
The tapes appear to be a deliberate clue toward Storm’s eventual return, although AEW has not announced a date for her comeback.
There was another notable development following WrestleDream, as AEW president Tony Khan was asked about Storm during the event’s post-show media scrum.
Khan firmly stated that Storm would return to AEW, marking his first comments about her status in several months.
While Khan did not provide a specific timetable, his comments combined with the mysterious cassette tapes have given fans their strongest indication yet that Storm’s absence may be approaching its next chapter.
With four recordings still unreleased and the meaning behind the “Death” track left unexplained, AEW appears to have more of Storm’s story waiting to be revealed.
The cause of death for former AEW and WWE wrestler Pac has been confirmed by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.
According to findings shared Friday with California Post reporter Edward Lewis, the medical examiner determined that Pac, whose real name was Benjamin Satterley, died from bronchial asthma. His death was classified as natural.
Pac was found unconscious inside a rental car in the parking lot of a restaurant in Des Plaines, Illinois, on September 27. He was later pronounced dead.
The news came just one day after Pac competed at AEW’s All Out event, which was held at the Now Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.
The medical examiner’s findings provide an official determination regarding the circumstances of the former wrestling star’s death.
AEW WrestleDream 2026 featured multiple championship matches, a new arrival, and a dramatic Clockwork Carnage main event. Will Ospreay survived a field of seven challengers to retain the AEW Men’s World Championship, while Brodido defeated Shane Strickland and New Level to capture the AEW World Trios Championship.
The Young Bucks also retained the AEW Men’s World Tag Team Championship, Mercedes Moné successfully defended the AEW Women’s World Championship against Thekla, and Jon Moxley kept the AEW Continental Championship after a brutal battle with Mark Davis. Ilja Dragunov also made his AEW debut.
Mercedes Moné successfully defended the AEW Women’s World Championship against Thekla in a hard-fought opening contest.
Thekla pushed the champion throughout the match, using her agility and striking ability to create several opportunities. She connected with a Spider Suplex, a diving double stomp and a spear, but Moné continued to survive.
The challenger came close to victory after hitting a sunset flip powerbomb into the turnbuckles and later applying a grounded octopus hold. Moné escaped and used her protective facemask to gain an opening before Thekla nearly caught her with a bridging pin.
Moné ultimately countered Thekla’s Blackout attempt and connected with the Money Maker to secure the pinfall and retain her championship.
Nick Wayne picked up another victory over Chris Jericho, winning their match with a small package.
The two traded strikes and high-impact offense throughout the contest. Wayne hit an Orihara moonsault on the outside and later connected with a 450 splash, but Jericho continued fighting.
Jericho answered with a Codebreaker and locked in the Walls of Jericho, only for Wayne to reach the ropes. The match became increasingly chaotic as both men attempted to gain an advantage through underhanded tactics.
After Jericho shrugged off a low blow, Wayne found an opening and rolled him up for the three-count.
Following the match, Wayne grabbed a microphone and pointed out that he had now beaten Jericho twice, correcting Justin Roberts’ introduction before celebrating as pyro went off.
The Young Bucks successfully defended the AEW Men’s World Tag Team Championship against Kevin Knight and Kyle Fletcher of the Don Callis Family.
Knight and Fletcher isolated Nick Jackson for stretches of the match, using double-team offense to keep the champions from building momentum. The Bucks eventually rallied, with Matt Jackson taking control after a hot tag and hitting a series of signature moves.
The challengers came close to winning after Fletcher connected with a turnbuckle brainbuster and Knight followed with the UFO Splash, but Nick broke up the pin.
Late in the match, Fletcher accidentally took Knight out with a dive. The Bucks capitalized, hitting the BTE Trigger on Knight before turning their attention back to Fletcher. They then connected with the BTE Trigger on Knight once more to secure the victory and retain the titles.
Persephone successfully defended the AEW TBS Championship in a four-way match against Dani Luna, Hyan and Queen Aminata.
The contest featured fast-paced action and several near-falls as all four competitors fought for an opportunity to win the title. Luna used her power to overwhelm her opponents, while Aminata and Hyan each came close to securing the victory.
Aminata connected with Off With Her Head on Persephone, but Hyan broke up the pin. Hyan then nearly finished the match with a Falcon Arrow, only for Persephone to intervene again.
In the closing moments, Persephone climbed to the top rope and connected with a diving moonsault on Hyan to score the pinfall and retain her championship.
Andrade el Idolo retained the AEW National Championship after defeating Tommaso Ciampa in a competitive singles match.
Both men traded counters and heavy strikes throughout the contest, with Andrade using his agility to stay ahead of Ciampa’s power offense. The champion connected with a Three Amigos sequence on the floor and a split-legged moonsault, while Ciampa responded with a series of knees and suplexes.
Ciampa came close to victory with a running knee, but Andrade kicked out. The challenger later attempted to use the championship belt and a steel chair, but referee Aubrey Edwards prevented him from bringing either weapon into play.
Andrade took advantage of the distraction, hitting a DDT on the title belt before finishing Ciampa with the DM to retain the championship.
Adam Page, Bandido and Brody King, collectively known as The Good, the Bad, and el Guapo, defeated Shane Strickland and New Level’s Austin Creed and Kofi in a two-out-of-three falls match to win the AEW World Trios Championship.
The champions took the opening fall after Kofi pinned Bandido. Page and his teammates responded in the second fall, with Brodido combining for a monkey flip splash on Creed to even the match at one fall apiece.
The deciding fall featured a chaotic series of high-impact moves, with all six wrestlers trading offense around the ring and at ringside. King used his power to take the champions out, while Page and Bandido continued to create openings for their team.
Late in the match, Bandido hit a 21-Plex on Strickland, but the champion landed on his feet. Strickland attempted to capitalize with Big Pressure, only for Bandido to counter into a victory roll and secure the decisive pinfall.
Brodido and Page celebrated their championship win after the match. Strickland initially refused to hand over the title belts, but Creed and Kofi ultimately gave the championships to the new titleholders.
Jon Moxley retained the AEW Continental Championship after a brutal encounter with Mark Davis ended in referee stoppage.
Davis targeted Moxley’s head and repeatedly struck the champion, opening a wound above his eye. Moxley continued fighting despite the blood loss, answering with heavy elbows, chops and strikes of his own.
Davis came close to victory with a Karelin lift and several powerful elbows. He also trapped Moxley in a sleeper hold with bodyscissors, but the champion managed to escape and turn the hold around.
Both men continued trading offense, with Davis surviving Moxley’s attempts to finish the match. In the closing sequence, Moxley secured a bodyscissors sleeper hold and tightened his grip as Davis struggled to escape.
Davis eventually faded, forcing referee Paul Turner to stop the match and award Moxley the victory.
AEW introduced Ilja Dragunov as the company’s newest signing during WrestleDream.
Renee Paquette welcomed Dragunov to the stage, with a metronome ticking before his entrance music played. The former WWE star then made his way to the ring, conducting his music from the turnbuckles as pyro went off.
The appearance marked a major addition to AEW’s roster, although no match was announced for Dragunov during the event.
Will Ospreay retained the AEW Men’s World Championship in the Clockwork Carnage main event, defeating Adam Copeland, Darby Allin, Kazuchika Okada, Konosuke Takeshita, Mike Bailey, Ricochet and Samoa Joe.
The match began with Ospreay and Takeshita before additional competitors entered at timed intervals. Mike Bailey was the first wrestler eliminated after Takeshita hit Raging Fire. Takeshita was later eliminated by Okada’s Rainmaker.
Once the match reached its Iron Man phase, the competitors began scoring points through pinfalls and submissions. Joe scored two points with a Muscle Buster on Allin and a Coquina Clutch submission over Ospreay. Ricochet and Okada also scored points, while Allin and Copeland picked up multiple falls during the chaotic contest.
Copeland gained momentum late with spears on Joe and Ricochet, putting himself in contention as the clock wound down. Ospreay answered by hitting a Hidden Blade on Copeland to earn a crucial point.
With only seconds remaining, Okada attempted to stop Ospreay, but the champion survived the exchange and connected with another Hidden Blade on Copeland. The pinfall gave Ospreay a total of three points, enough to win the match and retain the AEW Men’s World Championship.
After the bell, Copeland initially shoved Ospreay before composing himself and offering the champion a handshake. Ospreay accepted, and Copeland left the ring to allow the champion to celebrate.
WrestleDream ended with Ospreay still holding the AEW Men’s World Championship after surviving one of the most demanding title defenses of his reign.

WWE and Street Profits star Montez Ford, whose legal name is Kenneth Crawford, are reportedly facing a lawsuit filed by an off-duty Cook County sheriff’s deputy over an alleged incident during WWE’s July 6 episode of Monday Night Raw.
According to POST Wrestling, Noel Lucas, who was working as an off-duty security guard at Allstate Arena in the Chicago area, filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Cook County. Lucas alleges that Ford performed an unwanted lap dance in front of him during The Street Profits’ entrance.
The lawsuit reportedly includes 14 counts, including allegations of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and violations of the Illinois Gender Violence Act. Event Services, LLC, a WWE subsidiary, is also named as a defendant.
According to the filing, Lucas was seated near the ringside barricade after a WWE employee allegedly positioned him in the path of The Street Profits during their entrance.
The lawsuit claims Ford then performed a sexually provocative dance directly in front of and over Lucas.
“Defendant Crawford then began performing a sexually provocative dance immediately in front of and over Plaintiff [Lucas], repeatedly thrusting and gyrating his hips and pelvis towards Plaintiff, performing a sexualized ‘lap dance,’” the filing states.
Lucas alleges that the interaction was unwanted and has since caused him significant personal distress.
The lawsuit also addresses the circulation of video footage showing the interaction. Lucas claims that the clip became widely available online, leading to both him and his children being mocked and ridiculed.
According to the filing, Lucas alleges that he has suffered humiliation, embarrassment and emotional distress as a result of the incident and its online exposure.
He also claims that the widespread use of the footage has exploited his image for commercial purposes, allegedly violating the Illinois Right of Publicity Act.
The interaction is not currently included in the Netflix replay of the episode, which reportedly cuts to a commercial during that portion of the show.
The lawsuit names Ford and WWE, along with Event Services, LLC, and alleges violations across several areas of law. The claims include assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and alleged violations of Illinois laws concerning gender violence and publicity rights.
The allegations outlined in the lawsuit have not been established in court. No outcome has been reported in the supplied information, and the filing itself does not determine liability.
Further developments will depend on how the case proceeds through the Cook County court system.
