WWE NXT Tuesday night on The CW from the 713 Music Hall in Houston, TX
Ring of Honor’s Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view has shifted dates yet again.
During this past Saturday’s episode of AEW Collision, it was revealed that the annual ROH event will now take place on Friday, August 29, a change from the previously announced date of Friday, September 5. Despite the shuffle, the venue remains locked in — Philadelphia’s iconic 2300 Arena will still host the show.
This latest move marks the second time the event has been rescheduled. Death Before Dishonor was originally slated for July 11, but AEW/ROH officials pushed it back without much explanation. As with the previous change, no official reason was provided for this latest adjustment.
With the event now set for late August, fans are hoping this will be the final word on the date. Death Before Dishonor has long been a key event on the ROH calendar, and after multiple shifts, there’s plenty of buzz about what Tony Khan and company have planned for this year’s card.
Another young star is stepping away from the ring — at least for now.
Former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion Elayna Black, known to WWE fans as Cora Jade, has announced she’s taking an extended break from professional wrestling. In a heartfelt message shared on social media, Black opened up about the importance of prioritizing her mental health, telling fans she plans to take the rest of the year off to “take care of me and go from there.”
Black also apologized to both fans and promoters, acknowledging that her decision means stepping away from previously scheduled bookings. “I’m sorry to anyone I’ve let down, but this is something I need right now,” she wrote.
Before this announcement, Black had remained active on the independent scene following her time with WWE, most recently teaming with Brooke Havoc to face off against The IINspiration (Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay) at Prestige Wrestling’s Combat Clash on July 13.
While there’s no timetable for her return, the wrestling world has shown overwhelming support for Black’s decision, echoing a growing trend of talent putting personal well-being first. It’s a reminder that even in a business built on larger-than-life personas, mental health matters.
We wish Elayna Black the very best during her time away and look forward to seeing what the future holds for her — both inside and outside the ring.
WWE Raw airs globally today from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, beginning at 8:00 pm ET/5:00 pm PT.
The Hardys have reclaimed their spot atop the TNA tag team ranks, walking out of Slammiversary 2025 as the new World Tag Team Champions. In a wild four-way ladder match, Matt and Jeff toppled The Rascalz, FIR$T CLA$$, and the reigning champs, The Nemeths — but it was how they won that had fans buzzing.
With every ladder at ringside destroyed in the chaos, Jeff Hardy revealed a backup plan straight out of his unpredictable playbook: a rope ladder lowered from the rafters. Jeff climbed the hanging ladder and snatched the titles, adding yet another chapter to The Hardys’ already legendary tag team legacy.
But the celebration didn’t last long. Moments after the win, Bully Ray made a surprise return to TNA, not only giving the brothers their due — but throwing down a challenge. Bully called for one more showdown: The Hardys vs. Team 3D at Bound For Glory, set for October 12th.
The Hardys didn’t hesitate. The match is on — two of the most iconic teams in wrestling history will collide once again on TNA’s biggest stage of the year.
In one of the most unforgettable moments of TNA Slammiversary, AJ Styles made his long-awaited return to TNA Wrestling, sending the crowd into an absolute frenzy.
Walking out to his classic “Get Ready to Fly” entrance theme, Styles soaked in the reaction before taking the mic. Reflecting on his storied career, he admitted it’s been a long journey—but emphasized that he’s finally back where it all began.
Styles didn’t shy away from addressing the doubts that swirled over the years about whether he’d ever step into a TNA ring again. But as he put it, now that he’s here, the lights shine a little brighter—and the talent roster has never looked stronger.
One star in particular earned Styles’ praise: Leon Slater. After Slater’s milestone victory over Moose to become the youngest X-Division Champion in TNA history, Styles gave him a heartfelt nod, saying Slater didn’t just earn the title—he deserved it.
AJ also paid tribute to the names that built TNA from the ground up, mentioning legends like Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, Chris Sabin, Jerry Lynn, Austin Aries, Amazing Red, and others who helped lay the foundation for the company’s legacy.
But as Styles made clear, tonight belonged to Leon Slater. The young champion may have made his name at Slammiversary—but now, Styles challenged him to build his legacy as the face and future of TNA.
Countdown to Slammiversary
The action kicked off with championship gold on the line as The IInspiration challenged The Elegance Brand for the Knockouts World Tag Team Titles.

One of WWE’s most beloved superstars is officially on the shelf for the foreseeable future. Kevin Owens, the former Universal Champion and fan-favorite brawler, has undergone neck surgery after months of uncertainty about his in-ring future.
Back on April 4 during SmackDown, Owens shocked fans when he grabbed a microphone and revealed he’d been wrestling through significant neck issues. Despite his best efforts to push through the pain for a planned WrestleMania 41 showdown with Randy Orton, Owens confirmed that he would need surgery — stepping away from competition indefinitely.
At the time, reports swirled suggesting Owens had already gone under the knife. However, those claims were premature. According to a new report from Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp, Owens finally underwent surgery on July 18. WWE insiders have indicated that recovery from this type of neck procedure generally takes about a year — casting serious doubt on Owens’ chances of making it back in time for WrestleMania 42 in April 2026.
That said, every recovery journey is unique. WWE reportedly plans to monitor Owens’ progress closely, with no firm timetable set for his return. The company seems committed to giving Owens the time he needs to heal fully, both for his health and future in the ring.
In a candid interview on Cody Rhodes’ What Do You Wanna Talk About? podcast before his surgery, Owens opened up about the frustrating nature of his injury. Despite feeling little to no pain at times, the damage to his spinal cord was severe enough that a medical clearance was impossible. Owens explained that doctors advised waiting for natural healing before surgery to improve his long-term recovery prospects.
With surgery now complete, fans around the world will be watching and waiting for updates on Owens’ condition. His grit and resilience have defined his WWE career, and while his road back may be long, no one is counting out the Prizefighter.
AEW Collision tonight on TNT and Max from Chicago.
Enzo Amore may have been one of WWE’s most polarizing figures, but that hasn’t stopped him from staying in the spotlight. Now going by “NZo” or “Real1” on the independent scene, the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion has been making waves — and it looks like those waves might be crashing straight into TNA Wrestling.
In a recent promo aired through Fourth Rope, the indie promotion where Amore currently reigns as Flyweight Champion, the outspoken star took direct aim at TNA ahead of this weekend’s Slammiversary event. In classic Enzo fashion, the promo blurred the lines between storyline and shoot, as he called out TNA for what he called “blatant disrespect.”
“I had to run through half of TNA to become this fly,” Amore said, hinting at past encounters with TNA talent. He even took a shot at Joe Hendry, claiming he’d “eat up Joe Hendry and spit him out,” before brushing off any suggestion that he’s “all in” with TNA. According to him, the chip on his shoulder outweighs anyone on their roster.
But perhaps the biggest talking point? Amore strongly hinted that he won’t be coming to Slammiversary alone.
“I think I’ll bring a Bishop. I know some good guys… some Good Brothers… I know plenty of people, okay?” Amore teased, suggesting that fans might see a few surprises at the pay-per-view. One name that stood out was Zilla Fatu, the Fourth Rope Heavyweight Champion and a member of the legendary Anoa’i family — the same bloodline behind Roman Reigns, The Usos, and Solo Sikoa.
With references to both known stars and possible alliances, Amore left things wide open, even joking that security would be more likely to back him up if he jumped the guardrail.
Slammiversary just got a whole lot more unpredictable — and if Enzo Amore has his way, it may also get a little more chaotic.
