Disney Channel has given a series order to Ultra Violet & Blue Demon, a superhero coming-of-age luchador action-comedy from a girl’s point of view, starring Mexican luchador and professional wrestler Blue Demon Jr. as a version of himself and Scarlett Estevez (Bunk’d) as Ultra Violet. As reported by Deadline.
The series unfolds as a magical luchador mask selects 13-year-old Violet (Estevez) to become Ultra, the superhero successor to her uncle, who is the famous Mexican wrestler Blue Demon Jr. and a superhero-in-disguise. Ultra begins her own secret superhero training with her uncle, all while having to navigate the ups and downs of middle school. As they start to work together, Uncle Blue realizes he can learn a few things from Ultra’s modern Gen-Z take on crime-fighting.
“Blue Demon Jr. is a Mexican cultural icon and we are looking forward to introducing him—and the luchador mythology—to our viewers,” said Rafael Garcia, vice president, Development, Disney Branded Television. “With Violet and her family, we also have the opportunity to present an authentic Mexican American family in a series that combines humor and adventure in a unique Latinx shake-up of the superhero genre.”

Joshi veteran Meiko Satomura is officially a WWE employee and will report to the company’s satellite brand in the United Kingdom.
Satomura’s signing was first reported by Yahoo Sports, who claimed the 41-year-old would be joining the company as a “player-coach.”
Her imminent arrival was later confirmed on this week’s edition of NXT UK via a video package.
Satamora began her career at just 14 years old and has competed for Gaea Japan, Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling (which she founded), Chikara and even WCW.
According to Tokyo Sports, Satomura is considered Japan’s final boss — essentially the wrestler all younger opponents hope to defeat. She’s known for her nasty kicks and Death Valley Bomb finish.
As you might recall, Satomura competed in the 2018 Mae Young Classic.

Ken Shamrock attacked Sami Callihan and continued attacking officials after last night’s Impact Wrestling show went off the air.
Last night’s main event saw Shamrock, Callihan, Moose and Chris Bey lose to Impact World Champion Rich Swann, Tommy Dreamer, Willie Mack and the returning Trey Miguel. After the match, Shamrock snapped and applied the ankle lock on a referee while Callihan encouraged him and taunted the official. The show went off the air after Shamrock broke the hold as other referees ran down.
As seen below, Impact released post-show footage that shows Shamrock applying the ankle lock again. Callihan yelled at Shamrock to leave and slapped him, but Shamrock then attacked him. Shamrock continued attacking officials and security as Callihan left the ring area. The post-show segment ended with Shamrock yelling about how this was his house.
It’s believed that Shamrock snapping and attacking officials, and Callihan, may be a way to write the Impact Hall of Famer off TV for several weeks, but that has not been confirmed.
Former WWE Champion The Rock has released the first official trailer for the new “Young Rock” comedy series from NBC.
The series will premiere on Tuesday, February 16 at 8pm ET, and will run for thirty minutes each week.
Rock tweeted about the trailer release and wrote, “Our 1st official trailer for @NBC’s #YoungRock. Humbly shaking my head at the wild Forrest Gump-ish life I’ve lived. And man the lessons I learned along the way from loved ones who now walk in the clouds. Look forward to making ya laugh & maybe a little bit more. FEB 16th!”
Young Rock will chronicle the formative years of “The Rock” Dwayne Johnson, and The Great One himself will appear in each episode.
NBC gave the series a straight-to-series order in January of last year. Filming on Young Rock began back in November in Queensland, Australia, at locations in and around Brisbane and South East Queensland. The show is coming from Fresh Off the Boat creator Nahnatchka Khan and co-executive producer Jeff Chiang, who wrote the pilot episode together. Khan and Chiang are executive producing Young Rock, along with Rock, Dany Garcia, Hiram Garcia, Jennifer Carreras and former WWE writer Brian Gewirtz of Seven Bucks Productions. Daina Reid will direct various episodes, while Jeffrey Walker will serve as co-executive producer.
The Rock, who has said the series will be special and unlike anything else he’s ever done, previously revealed the cast of the show, with details on each character they will be playing, including the role of his late father, WWE Hall of Famer Rocky Johnson. You can click here for that reveal.
