With WrestleMania 41 just around the corner, the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2025 is beginning to take shape. Already announced for induction are Triple H, Michelle McCool, and Lex Luger, and now, it appears WWE has chosen their tag team inductees—but it’s not the duo many expected.
Despite speculation that Demolition could be getting the nod this year, former WWE star Typhoon revealed that The Natural Disasters, the powerhouse team of himself and the late Earthquake, will be entering the Hall of Fame next month.
During an appearance on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Typhoon—real name Fred Ottman—shared the big news, expressing his gratitude for the honor.
“It is an honor. It was crazy when I got that phone call and they told me that. Mr. Prichard called me. He’s an awesome guy, and I couldn’t believe it. I was like, ‘Wow, what an incredible thing.’ I always say there’s so many guys that are so worthy to be in there that aren’t yet. For this to happen, it’s just amazing.”
The Natural Disasters formed in May 1991, when Earthquake (John Tenta) and Typhoon (then known as Tugboat) joined forces under the management of Jimmy Hart. The two massive competitors initially worked as heels, engaging in a feud with the Legion of Doom. However, their run as villains didn’t last long. In early 1992, Jimmy Hart turned his back on them in favor of Ted DiBiase and IRS of Money Inc., prompting the Natural Disasters to turn babyface.
The feud with Money Inc. led to their crowning moment on July 20, 1992, when they defeated DiBiase and IRS to win the WWE World Tag Team Championship. Though their reign lasted just a few months—dropping the belts back to Money Inc. in October—the duo remained a popular act until Earthquake left WWE in early 1993, bringing their partnership to an end. There were plans for a feud between the two, but Earthquake’s departure meant fans never got to see the former champions collide.
Though their time together in WWE was relatively brief, the Natural Disasters left a lasting impression on fans with their sheer size, strength, and surprising agility for big men. Their induction into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2025 ensures that their contributions to the tag team division will not be forgotten.
With just a few weeks to go until WrestleMania weekend, it’ll be interesting to see who else joins this year’s Hall of Fame class. Who else do you think deserves a spot? Let us know in the comments!
After months of speculation, former TNA X-Division Champion “Speedball” Mike Bailey has officially landed in All Elite Wrestling. Bailey made his highly anticipated debut on the March 12 episode of AEW Dynamite, entering the AEW International Championship Eliminator Tournament as the mystery wildcard competitor.
Bailey’s move to AEW had been rumored since his TNA contract expired in late 2024, but fans were left guessing when he would actually make his first appearance. The wait ended after AEW teased his arrival through a vignette on AEW Collision in February, and once a wildcard spot was announced for the tournament, speculation ran wild that the high-flying Canadian would be the one to fill it.
Bailey’s AEW debut was anything but easy, as he faced off against the intimidating Beast Mortos. Right from the start, Mortos showed little interest in reciprocating Bailey’s show of respect, opting instead to overpower his smaller opponent. However, Bailey wasted no time reminding the AEW audience why he’s one of the most dynamic strikers in the game, unleashing a flurry of vicious kicks.
Despite Bailey’s early offense, Mortos used his size advantage to dominate the action on the outside. But “Speedball” wouldn’t stay down for long. Fighting back with his signature combination of kicks, chops, and an aerial assault, Bailey turned the tide, launching himself over the top rope with a breathtaking dive as the match headed into the commercial break.
Mortos continued to showcase his power, gaining the upper hand after Bailey was crotched on the top rope. The Beast followed up with a devastating corkscrew tope, a pop-up Samoan Drop, and an avalanche press slam, nearly putting Bailey away.
However, the resilient newcomer refused to stay down. After a tense exchange of roll-ups, Bailey countered Mortos’ offense, delivering a moonsault knee drop before connecting with a perfectly placed crescent kick to the head to score the pinfall victory.
With this impressive win, Bailey advances to the four-way final of the AEW International Championship Eliminator Tournament on March 19. He’ll be joined by the winner of Orange Cassidy vs. Hechicero, which took place later that night. The ultimate goal? A shot at Kenny Omega for the AEW International Championship at AEW Dynasty on April 6—a match Omega himself has said he wants to be against the best AEW has to offer.
Bailey has already proven he belongs in AEW. But can “Speedball” fight his way to a title shot and make an even bigger impact? The road to Dynasty just got a lot more interesting.
WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has been making the rounds to promote his Real American Beer brand, but not every stop on his tour has been met with cheers. According to a report from News 12 Orange County, several fans were left frustrated after waiting hours for a promised meet-and-greet at a ShopRite in Montgomery, New York, only to be turned away when Hogan abruptly left.
One fan, Robert Taylor of New Windsor, recounted his experience, saying he and his children—ages 7 and 5—had waited in line for four hours, expecting to meet Hogan, take photos, and receive autographs. According to Taylor, the event was supposed to accommodate at least 200 fans, and he and his kids were well within that number at 185. However, as they approached the front of the line, Hogan suddenly left, leaving them and many others disappointed.
“They just stood up and bolted along the back. Some lady was very upset, screaming and cursing. My son just started crying and a bunch of other kids were crying,” Taylor said. “If he had to leave, he could’ve walked down and shook people’s hands and said, ‘Hey, I’m sorry we have to get going,’ rather than just leaving people stranded.”
Taylor even shared a heartbreaking video with News 12, showing his kids in the car afterward, visibly upset and calling out Hogan with remarks like, “You’re the worst,” and “Why did you do this?”
Before the Montgomery ShopRite event, Hogan made several appearances throughout the Hudson Valley, including in Poughkeepsie, where he received a warm reception. Dutchess County Executive Sue Serino even declared that day “Hulk Hogan Day” in his honor. On his social media accounts, Hogan shared footage from his other promotional stops, where he was seen hugging fans, taking pictures, and handing out free beer.
However, the abrupt end to the Montgomery event has left some fans feeling overlooked. News 12 attempted to reach out to Hogan’s publicist for comment but received no response.
As of now, it’s unclear why Hogan left before meeting all the waiting fans. Whether it was a scheduling issue, a miscommunication, or something else entirely, the lack of explanation has only fueled frustration among those who were left empty-handed.
For now, fans are left wondering whether Hogan will address the incident—or if this unfortunate experience will just be another chapter in the unpredictable saga of The Hulkster.

Tonight’s AEW Dynamite will take place from the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California and air live on TBS and Max, beginning at 8:00 pm ET.
Stephanie McMahon is stepping back into the WWE spotlight—but not in the boardroom. Instead, she’s set to launch her own interview series, Stephanie’s Places, which will premiere on ESPN+ on Wednesday, March 26. The ten-episode series is produced by Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions, alongside ESPN and WWE, and will feature McMahon sitting down with some of the biggest names in wrestling history.
With Stephanie’s Places, McMahon will take a page out of Manning’s playbook, mirroring his Manning’s Places series by exploring the personal and professional journeys of WWE’s top stars in locations that hold significance for them.
“WWE has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember,” McMahon said. “I’m looking forward to having viewers join me as we visit some of the most iconic stars of past and present, in places of meaning for them, and hear how they overcame adversity to become who they are today.”
The series will kick off with a blockbuster first episode, as Stephanie McMahon sits down with CM Punk in an interview recorded just before WWE SummerSlam 2024 in Cleveland. Given Punk’s tumultuous history with WWE and his shocking return last year, this conversation is sure to turn heads.
Other major WWE names set to appear throughout the season include:
The season finale, airing May 28, will be one of the most emotional episodes, as McMahon interviews John Cena. With Cena inching closer to retirement, the episode will serve as a reflection on his legendary career and his impact on WWE.
While WWE programming is no stranger to documentaries and behind-the-scenes specials, Stephanie’s Places offers a fresh, intimate perspective. Rather than focusing solely on in-ring careers, McMahon’s series will explore personal struggles, triumphs, and the roads that led these superstars to where they are today.
With its mix of nostalgia, storytelling, and insight from some of the biggest names in wrestling, Stephanie’s Places is shaping up to be must-watch content for WWE fans.
Quick Results:
The road to Stand & Deliver is heating up, and this week’s episode of WWE NXT delivered plenty of action, surprises, and hard-hitting battles. From a major championship change to an all-out street fight, here’s everything that went down on the March 11, 2025, edition of NXT.
The legendary Hardy Boyz kicked off the night in style, putting their TNA World Tag Team Championships on the line against the high-flying duo of Axiom & Nathan Frazer (Fraxiom). The challengers brought the fight, overwhelming the veterans with their speed and aerial offense, including a spectacular avalanche Spanish Fly-Phoenix Splash combo that nearly secured the win.
However, the Hardys proved why they’re still one of the best teams in the business. A miscommunication between Axiom and Frazer allowed Jeff Hardy to capitalize, hitting the Swanton Bomb on Frazer to retain the gold.
Roxanne Perez had a game plan against Jordynne Grace—targeting the knee and trying to keep the powerhouse grounded. However, Grace’s raw strength proved too much. The TNA Knockouts Champion weathered the storm and delivered the Juggernaut Driver for the decisive victory.
In a champion vs. champion showdown, NXT Champion Oba Femi put his title on the line against TNA X-Division Champion Moose, and the match was every bit as physical as expected. The two powerhouses traded heavy blows, with Moose even driving Oba through the announce table.
Despite the punishment, Femi dug deep and sealed the victory with a thunderous powerbomb to remain NXT Champion. Before the match, he even had a surprise backstage encounter with The Undertaker, who gave him some words of encouragement—an endorsement that speaks volumes about Femi’s future.
“All Ego” Ethan Page and Je’Von Evans took their rivalry to the extreme in a chaotic Street Fight. Chairs, tables, and steel steps were all in play as both men threw everything at each other.
After a brutal back-and-forth battle, Evans sealed the win with a springboard Ace Crusher onto a chair. However, his celebration was short-lived—mysterious masked figures stormed the ring and left Evans laid out in a four-man powerbomb. The identity of this faction remains unknown, but their impact was immediately felt.
In the night’s highly anticipated main event, NXT Women’s Champion Giulia and NXT Women’s North American Champion Stephanie Vaquer put their respective titles on the line in a winner-take-all showdown. The two warriors left it all in the ring, with Giulia coming close to victory multiple times, including locking in a triangle choke and connecting with Arrivederci.
But Vaquer wouldn’t be denied. After surviving the onslaught, she delivered back-to-back SBBs to put Giulia down for the three-count. With the win, Stephanie Vaquer not only retained the North American title but also captured the NXT Women’s Championship, cementing her place as one of the top stars in the division.
This week’s NXT was packed with action and major developments. Stephanie Vaquer’s historic win headlines the night, while Oba Femi and the Hardy Boyz continued their dominant reigns. Meanwhile, Je’Von Evans may have won his match, but a dangerous new faction has emerged.
With Stand & Deliver approaching, expect the intensity to keep rising in the weeks to come. Stay tuned to Wrestling News Blog for all your latest NXT updates!
WWE NXT Roadblock live tonight on The CW from the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
AEW is shaking up its schedule later this month, as Collision will be divided into two separate one-hour episodes instead of its usual two-hour Saturday night slot. This adjustment is being made to accommodate TNT’s coverage of the NCAA March Madness tournament.
Instead of airing in its usual Saturday primetime slot on March 23, Collision will air in two parts:
Both episodes will air after NCAA tournament games, giving AEW the potential benefit of a strong lead-in audience.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer explained the reasoning behind AEW’s decision. Given how important March Madness is to TNT, the network could have opted to preempt Collision entirely. Instead, AEW is testing out a split schedule, taping both episodes in advance on March 20 in Omaha.
Meltzer noted that the plan allows AEW to avoid a late-night second hour on Saturday, which could see a drop in viewership. By spreading the content across two nights, the company hopes to maximize its audience—at least for the Saturday episode. However, Sunday presents more uncertainty since AEW has struggled with non-traditional time slots in the past.
AEW has faced challenges when shifting Collision’s time slot, as seen with previous preemptions. However, with the NCAA tournament drawing in millions of viewers, the post-game placement could give AEW a much-needed ratings boost. Whether this experiment succeeds remains to be seen, but it will be an interesting test for Collision’s viewership outside of its usual schedule.
What do you think of this strategy? Will AEW benefit from the NCAA tournament lead-in, or will the Sunday slot struggle? Let us know in the comments!
