Willow Nightingale Injured, Forced To Vacate AEW TBS Championship & Withdraw From Owen Hart Tournament

AEW suffered a major setback on Wednesday night as Willow Nightingale revealed she is dealing with a shoulder injury that will sideline her indefinitely.

During a backstage segment on AEW Dynamite, Nightingale announced that the injury occurred during her recent TBS Championship defense against Red Velvet on Saturday’s episode of AEW Collision. Because of the injury, she confirmed she will no longer be able to compete in the Owen Hart Tournament and has officially vacated the AEW TBS Championship.

Nightingale had originally been scheduled to face Alex Windsor at Double or Nothing this Sunday as part of the tournament.

In the emotional pre-taped promo, Nightingale remained optimistic despite the disappointing news.

“But as sure as this smile remains on my face, I will be back,” Nightingale said before leaving the TBS title behind in the locker room area. “I don’t know when, but I’ll tell you this — I’m coming right back to the top.”

Following the segment, AEW commentary confirmed that a mystery wild card entrant will replace Nightingale in the Owen Hart Tournament bracket.

AEW also announced changes to the Double or Nothing card as a result of the injury. Instead of the previously planned tournament match involving Alex Windsor, the pay-per-view will now feature Mina Shirakawa taking on ROH Women’s World Champion Athena.

At this time, AEW has not revealed how a new TBS Champion will be crowned.

Nightingale captured the TBS Championship for the second time earlier this year when she defeated Mercedes Moné at Dynamite: New Year’s Smash to close out 2025. Her latest title reign lasted 140 days before being cut short by injury.

Fans across social media quickly rallied behind Nightingale following the announcement, with many already looking forward to her eventual return to AEW television.

Mick Foley Officially Set For AEW Double Or Nothing 2026 Appearance

Wrestling legend Mick Foley is officially heading to AEW.

AEW President Tony Khan announced on social media Wednesday that the WWE Hall of Famer will appear at this weekend’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view. Foley is scheduled to co-host the Zero Hour pre-show alongside Renee Paquette, marking his first official appearance for the company.

Interestingly, Khan referred to the event as Foley’s “first night” in AEW, leading to speculation that the partnership could extend beyond a one-time appearance.

Rumors surrounding Foley and AEW had already been gaining traction over the last week after reports surfaced claiming the company had interest in bringing the hardcore icon in for some type of role. Those rumors intensified after the Quad City Comic Con announced a schedule change involving Foley. The convention revealed that Foley, who had originally been advertised for both Saturday and Sunday, would now only appear on Saturday.

When a fan suggested the change could be related to Double or Nothing, the convention’s Facebook account responded with a cryptic message: “We were told we couldn’t be told, which told us all we needed to be told.”

Foley joining AEW comes months after he publicly distanced himself from WWE due to the company’s relationship with the Donald Trump administration. Since then, many fans have wondered whether AEW could eventually become Foley’s next wrestling home.

The hardcore legend has also been loosely connected to AEW in the past through MJF. The two had previously discussed the possibility of a retirement match for Foley, though nothing ultimately materialized.

With this appearance, Foley adds AEW to a career résumé that already includes virtually every major wrestling promotion in North America. Over the years, Foley has competed for WWE, WCW, ECW, TNA, and Ring of Honor, while also wrestling internationally for promotions such as All Japan Pro Wrestling, FMW, and AAA.

AEW Double or Nothing 2026 takes place this Sunday, and Foley’s arrival is already shaping up to be one of the event’s biggest talking points heading into the weekend.

AEW Bringing “Brawl in the Ballpark” To MLB Stadium This July

AEW is continuing its recent trend of running shows from unconventional venues, and this summer the company will officially head to a Major League Baseball stadium for a special event.

Following the buzz surrounding AEW Collision: Fairway To Hell earlier this month at the SoFi Center’s indoor golf venue in Florida, AEW has now announced “Brawl in the Ballpark,” scheduled for Friday, July 10 at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The event will take place after the Minnesota Twins vs. Detroit Tigers game, marking another unique crossover presentation for the promotion.

The announcement was made during Tuesday night’s action at Target Field, where Minnesota natives Dante and Darius Martin of Top Flight appeared to hype the upcoming show. However, the segment quickly turned physical when Jeff Jarrett interrupted and blindsided the duo.

Jarrett didn’t hold back during his promo, taking shots at both the hometown crowd and the state itself.

“Every Minnesota Twin fan, as a matter of fact, the entire state of Minnesota is nothing but a bunch of pathetic losers. Friday night, July 10th, AEW is hosting Brawl in the Ballpark and I’m going to get the job done.”

So far, Jarrett and Top Flight are the only names publicly connected to the event, though more talent announcements are expected in the coming weeks.

One of the biggest questions surrounding the show is how AEW plans to use the baseball stadium layout. At Fairway To Hell, wrestlers incorporated golf course features like sand traps and putting greens into the action, helping the special stand out visually from standard arena broadcasts.

With Target Field now serving as the backdrop, fans are already speculating about possible entrances, stadium brawls, and creative use of the baseball diamond itself.

AEW has also released several VIP ticket options for the event, including:

  • Theme Night Package
  • VIP Ringside Package
  • Truly on Deck Package

Each package includes admission to the show and a complimentary Lucha Mask Hat. Fans who purchase the VIP Ringside package will receive reserved ringside seating, while the Truly on Deck experience offers elevated views overlooking the stadium setup.

As AEW continues experimenting with themed presentation concepts and non-traditional venues, “Brawl in the Ballpark” could end up being one of the company’s more visually distinctive events of the year.

Former WWE Star Enzo Reportedly Seen At WWE Performance Center – Big Bill’s AEW Contract Expiring Soon?

A familiar face from WWE’s past may be back on the company’s radar.

According to a report from False Finish, former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore was recently spotted at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. The outlet noted that Amore was present at the facility on Tuesday ahead of this week’s episode of WWE NXT on The CW.

False Finish shared the following update on X:

“False Finish has learned that former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore has been at the WWE Performance Center recently and was there yesterday ahead of #WWENXT.”

Amore’s WWE run came to an abrupt end in January 2018 after sexual assault allegations surfaced against him. WWE suspended him on January 22 before officially parting ways with him the following day. Later that year, the Phoenix Police Department closed the investigation without filing charges.

Since leaving WWE, Amore — who has performed under the name Real1 — has remained active on the independent wrestling scene. Over the years, he has appeared for promotions including MLW, GCW, House of Glory, and Northeast Wrestling while also pursuing music projects outside the ring.

The timing of the reported Performance Center visit has sparked speculation among fans due to another recent report involving Big Bill, formerly known in WWE as Big Cass.

Fightful Select reported back in April that Big Bill’s AEW deal could expire around late May or early June 2026. Bill has been largely absent from AEW programming in recent months, wrestling only a handful of matches this year and not appearing on television since a February episode of Collision.

With Amore reportedly back around WWE and Big Bill’s AEW future uncertain, talk of a potential Enzo & Cass reunion has naturally picked up online.

The duo became one of WWE’s most popular tag teams during their NXT and main roster run in the mid-2010s. Their charisma and crowd reactions helped make them standout acts on both brands before WWE split them up in 2017 with Cass turning on Enzo during an episode of Raw.

While they never captured tag team gold on the WWE main roster, the team was widely considered one of the hottest acts of that era. Big Cass eventually departed WWE in 2018 before rebuilding his career through IMPACT Wrestling, the independent scene, and eventually AEW as Big Bill.

At this point, there’s no official word regarding a WWE return for Amore, but his reported appearance at the Performance Center is already generating plenty of discussion about what could potentially be next.
