TNA Wrestling will present a new episode of Impact tonight on AXS TV.
Ring of Honor will present a new episode of ROH TV tonight on Honorclub.
Stephanie McMahon may no longer be an executive at WWE, but she’s far from disconnected from the company. Over the past year, she has made several high-profile appearances at WWE events, and now, a new report suggests she’s taking on an exciting project that will keep her involved with the brand in a fresh way.
Stephanie’s relationship with WWE has been a rollercoaster over the past few years. After stepping down from her executive position in early 2023 following Vince McMahon’s return to the Board of Directors, she has largely remained out of the corporate side of the business. However, she has still been present at key WWE events, including WrestleMania XL Night Two, the WWE RAW Netflix premiere, and the recent WWE Town Hall, where her husband, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, was announced as the headliner for the 2025 Hall of Fame class.
According to PWInsider, WWE used the Town Hall to highlight a new project involving Stephanie. The series is described as being similar to Peyton’s Places, the ESPN show where NFL legend Peyton Manning explores the cultural impact of the NFL through conversations with key figures from the sport’s history.
In WWE’s version, Stephanie will reportedly sit down with notable wrestling personalities to discuss the company’s legacy and influence. She has already filmed segments with Cody Rhodes, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, and others. While details on the show’s platform and release date remain unclear, it could serve as a fascinating deep dive into WWE’s rich history, offering fans a new perspective from one of its most well-connected figures.
While this project keeps Stephanie engaged with WWE, there’s no word on whether it signals a more permanent return to the company. For now, it looks like she’s embracing a role that blends her deep industry knowledge with her natural charisma in front of the camera.
As more details emerge about the show’s format and premiere date, it will be interesting to see how WWE utilizes Stephanie’s presence in the ongoing evolution of its brand. Could this be the first step toward a larger on-screen role? Only time will tell.
The Road to WrestleMania is officially underway, and while the Royal Rumble will set the stage for WWE’s biggest event of the year, another WrestleMania tradition is also making headlines—the WWE Hall of Fame. This year’s headliner has already been revealed, and it’s none other than the man currently shaping WWE’s future: Triple H.
According to PWInsider, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque will lead the 2025 Hall of Fame class. Despite being in charge of the company’s creative direction, the decision reportedly caught Levesque by surprise. The news was broken to him in a meeting by his wife, Stephanie McMahon, alongside fellow Hall of Famers The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels.
While Triple H has been at the helm of WWE’s creative resurgence in recent years, his Hall of Fame induction is a recognition of his legendary in-ring career. Levesque first gained national exposure in WCW in the early ‘90s before jumping to WWE, where he became one of the most decorated and influential superstars in history.
Over the course of his career, Triple H racked up an impressive 14 World Championship reigns, in addition to capturing the Intercontinental, European, and Tag Team Championships. He also cemented his legacy with wins in the 1997 King of the Ring tournament and both the 2002 and 2016 Royal Rumbles. Beyond the accolades, he was a founding member of D-Generation X, one of WWE’s most influential factions, alongside Shawn Michaels.
With an unparalleled impact both inside the ring and behind the scenes, Triple H’s Hall of Fame induction feels like a long time coming. As the mastermind behind WWE’s creative direction, it’s ironic—but fitting—that he’ll now be the one deciding who joins him in the class of 2025.
Who else will be inducted alongside Triple H? And what does this mean for the Hall of Fame ceremony during WrestleMania weekend? Stay tuned as more names are revealed in the coming weeks!
AEW Dynamite airs live tonight on TBS at 8:00 pm ET and live coast to coast on Max from the Von Braun Center Propst Arena, Huntsville, Alabama.
During a recent interview with the “Toronto Sun,” Chris Jericho discussed a potential WWE Hall of Fame induction, noting that it doesn’t interest him much.
Jericho said, “I’m not one of those guys who cares about the Hall of Fame because I don’t think it’s really real anyway. In some ways, it’s like, ‘Eh, whatever.’ In other ways, I want to pull a Sex Pistols and just refuse to show up. Send a letter saying, ‘Do not mention my name,’ like Axl Rose did. What a great wrestling thing to do. It doesn’t matter to me, it really doesn’t. It’s great that guys go in there and I’m glad they get a chance to, but I’m already a Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame is up here [points to head]. It’s more for the fans. At this point in time, I could get put in the Hall of Fame and maybe get booed out of the building. We’ll see what happens. For right here, right now, I’m enjoying what I’m still doing and I definitely wouldn’t go in the Hall of Fame if I’m still actively performing in the ring. We’ll see where it goes. For right now, I feel good, I’m doing great work, and when I feel it’s time to hang up the boots, I will do so. Until then, I’m enjoying being part of the business, as I always have for the last 34 years.”
The Greatest Royal Rumble (2018) remains Jericho’s final in-ring appearance with WWE.
On the June 27, 2022, episode of RAW, Jericho appeared via video message to congratulate John Cena on his career.
Jericho is in AEW and is a former AEW World Champion and is the current ROH World Champion.
It remains to be seen if WWE will one day extend the Hall of Fame honor to Jericho—and if he’ll accept. But if there’s one thing fans know about Jericho, it’s that he’ll always do things on his own terms.
Jonathan Gresham’s tenure with TNA Wrestling has officially come to an end. On the January 18 episode of the Insight podcast, Gresham’s wife, Jordynne Grace, confirmed that his contract with TNA expired that same day. While his next move in professional wrestling remains uncertain, Grace hinted that Gresham has some “conversations to have” regarding his future.
Gresham, a technically gifted performer known for his grappling and ring psychology, last competed on the December 14 edition of iMPACT Wrestling. In that match, he teamed with Eric Young and Steve Maclin in a six-man tag against The System. While his time with TNA didn’t see him capture championship gold, Gresham remains a decorated competitor with an impressive résumé.
Prior to his time in TNA, Gresham established himself as a cornerstone of Ring of Honor (ROH), where he held multiple championships, including the ROH World Championship, the ROH Pure Championship, and the ROH World Tag Team Titles. His reputation as a technical wrestling specialist and his accolades on the independent scene have made him one of the most respected names in the industry.
Gresham’s exit from TNA coincides with a major career milestone for his wife, Jordynne Grace, who has signed a multi-year deal with WWE. Grace recently wrapped up her TNA commitments at the Genesis pay-per-view and is expected to appear in Indianapolis for the Royal Rumble this weekend.
While Gresham’s future remains uncertain, there’s already speculation about what’s next for the former ROH standout. Whether it’s a return to the independent circuit, a stint in AEW, or even joining his wife in WWE, the options are wide open for this accomplished performer.
Gresham’s in-ring style and championship pedigree make him a valuable addition to any promotion, and fans are eager to see where he lands next. With Grace moving to WWE, there’s buzz about whether Gresham could eventually follow suit. For now, it appears he’s taking time to weigh his options before making his next big move.
It’s official—Jordynne Grace, one of the most dominant performers in recent memory, has signed a multi-year contract with WWE. According to Fightful Select, WWE reached out to Grace just weeks before she wrapped up her time with TNA Wrestling, making their interest clear.
Grace, a former TNA Knockouts Champion and a standout in women’s wrestling, reportedly finalized her WWE deal shortly after competing in her final TNA match. Following TNA’s Genesis event, Grace flew to the WWE Performance Center to finalize her contract, with PWInsider confirming she was at the facility earlier this week.
TNA was reportedly aware of Grace’s decision to leave and had time to prepare for her departure. Known for her powerhouse style and undeniable presence in the ring, Grace was a cornerstone of TNA’s Knockouts division. Her move to WWE marks the next big step in her already illustrious career.
As a result of her signing, Grace has canceled an independent wrestling appearance scheduled for this weekend in Texas. This sudden change in plans has sparked speculation about her immediate future in WWE.
Grace is expected to be in Indianapolis this weekend, which coincides with the Royal Rumble. While WWE hasn’t officially confirmed her participation in the women’s Rumble match, her presence at the event has fueled rumors that she could debut as a surprise entrant. If Grace does enter the Rumble, it would be a monumental way to introduce her to WWE’s global audience.
Grace’s signing is a huge win for WWE’s women’s division. Known for her blend of power, athleticism, and technical skill, she is a game-changer in any promotion she joins. Whether mixing it up with the likes of Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, or Bianca Belair, Grace has the potential to make an immediate impact and quickly rise to the top of the roster.
All eyes are on this weekend’s Royal Rumble, where Grace could make her WWE debut in front of a massive crowd. Even if she doesn’t appear in the Rumble, fans won’t have to wait long to see the powerhouse make waves in her new home.
The Royal Rumble is shaping up to be even more unpredictable as reports suggest that former WWE Champion AJ Styles could potentially make his long-awaited return during the men’s Rumble match. According to PWInsider, WWE is “hoping” Styles will be cleared in time for the event, which takes place this weekend in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Styles has been out of action since October, following a knee injury suffered during a comeback match against Carmelo Hayes on SmackDown. The injury occurred during a fireman’s carry move when Styles’ knee buckled after his foot didn’t properly plant, forcing an early stoppage to the match. While some initial reports speculated the injury might be storyline-related, Styles later confirmed it was legitimate, revealing he suffered a Lisfranc injury, which affects the ligaments and bones in the foot.
In January, Styles gave fans an update on his recovery, describing it as “challenging.” Despite the long road to rehabilitation, WWE appears optimistic that “The Phenomenal One” could make it back just in time for one of the biggest nights on the wrestling calendar.
This injury was the latest setback in what has been a tumultuous year for Styles. Before his match with Hayes, he returned from a three-month hiatus following a loss to Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes in an “I Quit” Match. That match ended when the referee called the bout after Styles was rendered unable to continue, marking a tough chapter in his career.
If cleared, Styles’ entry into the Rumble would electrify an already stacked field and potentially set the stage for a major storyline heading into WrestleMania 41. Known for his incredible in-ring skills and versatility, Styles could reestablish himself as a top contender and potentially set his sights on unfinished business with Cody Rhodes or even the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting Styles’ return, and his presence would inject a dose of “phenomenal” excitement into the Rumble. As WWE has shown before, the Royal Rumble is no stranger to shocking returns, and Styles emerging from the curtain would be a moment fans would talk about for weeks.
As of now, nothing is officially confirmed, but the possibility of AJ Styles making his comeback this weekend is enough to have fans buzzing. Will “The Phenomenal One” make his return and shake things up on the Road to WrestleMania?
The January 27 episode of WWE Raw delivered a hard-hitting WWE World Tag Team Championship match between The War Raiders and The Judgment Day. However, a tense moment during the match left fans and WWE personnel alike concerned for JD McDonagh’s safety.
During the contest, McDonagh attempted a springboard moonsault to the outside, but his landing went awry. His head and neck snapped against the edge of the announce table, leaving viewers stunned. Despite the frightening fall, McDonagh pushed through and completed the match after being checked by ringside medical staff. Backstage, reports suggest that the incident caused significant concern, with Triple H and Michael Hayes keeping a close eye on McDonagh’s condition.
Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer provided further insight into the aftermath. Once backstage, McDonagh reportedly collapsed and was immediately sent to the hospital. While initial fears centered around a possible concussion or neck injury, the main issue turned out to be his ribs. Alvarez noted that McDonagh sustained broken ribs and a punctured lung, injuries that will sideline him for several months.
McDonagh himself addressed his fans on social media, expressing gratitude for their support while confirming his injuries:
“First off, thanks to everyone for the messages and the concern. I’m good. I’ve got a couple of broken ribs and a punctured lung, so I’m going to be out for a couple months. All things considered, it could have been a lot worse, so I’m grateful for that. See ya in a bit.”
While McDonagh’s update is reassuring, the timing of his recovery means he will miss both the Royal Rumble and likely WrestleMania 41, a tough blow for The Judgment Day’s ambitious member.
Despite McDonagh’s injury, The War Raiders (Erik and Ivar) successfully retained their WWE World Tag Team Championships by pinning Dominik Mysterio. The match marked The War Raiders’ first title defense since dethroning McDonagh and Finn Bálor in December 2024.
With The Judgment Day seemingly out of the title picture for now, the question turns to who will challenge The War Raiders next. Teams such as American Made, Alpha Academy, and The New Day all appear poised for an opportunity to step up, but no official contenders have been named yet.
McDonagh’s grit and determination to finish the match, despite sustaining such severe injuries, speaks volumes about his toughness as a performer. However, it also highlights the risks these athletes take to entertain fans. WWE’s medical team will likely monitor McDonagh closely throughout his recovery, ensuring he returns to the ring only when fully healed.
As fans, we wish JD McDonagh a speedy recovery and hope to see him back stronger than ever. Until then, it’s anyone’s guess who will rise to challenge The War Raiders next. Stay tuned to Wrestling News Blog for updates on McDonagh’s recovery and all things WWE.
