Paige VanZant has once again captivated fans with a stunning Instagram photo drop that perfectly showcases her signature brand of glowing confidence. The former UFC star shared a series of empowering pictures that highlight her sultry side, sending her followers into a frenzy as the comments flooded with praise. While best known nowadays for her spicy content, the 32-year-old is currently thriving as a multifaceted influencer who continues to pursue bare-knuckle boxing and competed in Power Slap in 2024 and 2025.

32-year-old VanZant briefly made waves in professional wrestling during her memorable stint with All Elite Wrestling. She debuted in September 2021 as part of the American Top Team invasion, making an impact by targeting stars like Chris Jericho. After officially signing in March 2022, she teamed with Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky to win a six-person tag team match at Double or Nothing. Though her in-ring career was short-lived and she eventually stopped attending sessions with her trainer, Gangrel, VanZant brought undeniable star power and athleticism, suggesting she could have been a big wrestling star.

WWE Superstar Sheamus has suffered a gruesome head injury during a gym accident while rehabbing from shoulder surgery. The Celtic Warrior shared graphic images on social media showing a deep gash on his head, with blood streaming down his face and arms. Sidelined since November 2025, the 48-year-old has been pushing hard through his recovery at the WWE Performance Center, with the full circumstances of the accident unclear.

Since debuting on the main roster in 2009, Sheamus has established himself as one of WWE’s most reliable and decorated performers. Just months after his arrival, he made history by defeating John Cena to win the WWE Championship, becoming the first Irish-born world champion. A four-time world champion, five-time tag team champion with Cesaro as The Bar, 2012 Royal Rumble winner, and King of the Ring, the hard-hitting Irishman remains a respected veteran and beloved fan favorite after 17 years with the company.

Gianna Capri, the charismatic WWE ID prospect, is turning heads once again with playful photos in a sleek black lace bikini. Lounging confidently in an oversized outdoor woven chair, the 34-year-old Italian-American wrestler jokingly captioned her tweet, “It’s a good thing she’s cute, because she doesn’t know how to use a chair properly,” while proudly showcasing her toned and muscular physique. As she gears up for a bigger role on WWE EVOLVE, Capri’s winning combination of humor, athleticism, and undeniable star power continues to win over fans on social media and throughout the wrestling world.

Born Noelle Giorgi on December 22, 1991, in Washington Township, New Jersey, Gianna Capri trained at the Flatback Wrestling School under Tyler Breeze and Shawn Spears. After gaining experience on the independent circuit with AEW Dark matches, WOW, SHINE, and NWA, she captured the NWA World Women’s Tag Team Titles twice as part of the team TVMA. She signed with WWE ID in March 2026 and now competes on EVOLVE, where her signature Dragon Sleeper finisher and sharp mic skills have quickly established her as a standout prospect with strong main roster potential.

In a candid interview with Dan Marston, Chris Jericho shared his unbreakable mindset in the face of critics. The wrestling star refuses to waste any energy on haters. He explained that early in his career, he made a firm decision: “This is my life, this is my decision.” Instead of chasing universal approval, Jericho tunes out the noise and focuses on performing for his loyal fans while winning over new ones. He specifically noted that it is hard to win over haters anyway because they do not want to admit they were wrong.

“I realized you can’t listen to people that tell you you can’t do something. And why the hell do you care what I’m doing anyway? This is my life. This is my decision. This is what I’m going to do.” “And so very early on, to this day I still have that. I don’t care what people think of what I’m doing. I want them to like it, but if they don’t, that’s nothing I can do about it. I try my best to make people like the things that I’m doing. The majority of them do, but some people will hate everything that you do. And that’s fine. You can’t worry about the people that hate what you do because they’re never going to like you ever. Because that’s admitting to themselves that they were wrong.” – Chris Jericho

Jericho has built a legendary career by repeatedly proving the doubters wrong. Told he was too small and flashy in the early 1990s, and later that his prime was over after leaving WWE in 2018, the multi-time world champion responded by becoming AEW’s inaugural World Champion in 2019 and helping establish the promotion as a major force. Now 55, he continues to reinvent himself with compelling characters and fresh storylines, alongside new opponents such as Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa.

While speaking to The Undertaker on his Six Feet Under podcast, Rey Mysterio confirmed that his daughter Aalyah is ready to begin full-time training at the WWE Performance Center. The 24-year-old recently graduated from UC San Diego with a degree in human biology. She has already completed two successful training stints at the Performance Center, the first in October 2025 and the second for two weeks in February 2026, and is now fully committed to pursuing a professional wrestling career.

“She tried it out one time with me, last year, in October. She loved it. She just jumped in the ring once. I said, ‘Okay, let’s try to set you up to go up there for about two weeks, see if you can wake up every day and do this Monday through Friday, weekends off, and then back again Monday through Friday.’ She did two weeks, and she really loved it … Sent her again, this year, February, for two weeks, she loved it, and now we are in May, end of May, and she’s getting ready to go up there and establish herself at the PC.” – Rey Mysterio

Aalyah Mysterio, born Aalyah Gutierrez, gained some on-screen exposure in 2020 as a valet during a major SmackDown storyline involving her father and Buddy Murphy, though she never competed in a match. Now 24, she is likely viewed as a promising developmental talent with the potential to create a new chapter in the Mysterio family legacy alongside Rey and her brother Dominik. However, while her inherited genetics may give her an advantage, living up to such a legendary legacy remains her toughest challenge, especially after seeing how her brother Dominik has already exceeded all expectations.

PWInsider.com has reported that WWE Performance Center coach Terry Taylor is set to undergo knee surgery in the coming weeks. The 70-year-old veteran, who has been a key trainer at the facility since 2012, will therefore miss The Gathering fan convention in Charlotte this July while he recovers. A respected figure known for his sharp wrestling mind, Taylor has earned high praise from current stars, including former NXT standout Oba Femi, for his storytelling expertise and inspirational guidance.

“WWE Performance Center Coach Terry Taylor, one of the top trainers in the WWE facility, is slated to undergo knee surgery in the upcoming weeks. Taylor’s surgery and recovery will force him to miss July’s The Gathering convention.” – PWInsider.com

Born Paul Worden Taylor III on August 12, 1955, Terry Taylor enjoyed a colorful in-ring career that began in 1979. He thrived as a top babyface in Mid-South and UWF, capturing major titles and feuding with stars like Ted DiBiase and The Freebirds. Later stints in WCCW, WWF (where he gained notoriety as the Red Rooster), and WCW showcased his versatility. After officially retiring around 2006, Taylor transitioned into talent development and management, serving as TNA’s Director of Talent Relations before becoming a highly valued coach at the WWE Performance Center.

Karrion Kross has openly admitted that Triple H’s failure to reach out to him after his WWE departure genuinely bothered him. Speaking with Ariel Helwani, the former WWE star revealed he received no communication from the creative head despite their long history together. Kross was careful not to throw shade at Triple H and even suggested that corporate policies may have prevented any contact. Still, he was honest about how much the lack of outreach affected him personally. He and his wife, Scarlett, left WWE in August 2025 after their contracts expired.

“Maybe he’s told not to contact the talent afterward. Maybe. But it did bother me, I will tell you it bothered me very, very much.” – Karrion Kross

Since departing WWE, Karrion Kross has flourished on the independent scene as Killer Kross alongside Scarlett. He made an immediate impact with notable appearances for GCW and DEFY before returning to MLW in November 2025, where he defeated Matt Riddle in his debut match. On January 29, 2026, Kross won the Battle Riot match to capture the MLW World Heavyweight Championship, his first major world title outside of NXT. Now 39, Kross is enjoying creative freedom while balancing wrestling with acting projects and a paranormal show.

Last month, a judge dismissed most of an assault case against Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler. The case dates back to the ’70s, and Tyler was accused of grooming and impregnating Julia Misley when she was 16-years-old and he was in his mid-20s.

A charge of “emotional distress,” however, still remains, but Tyler’s attorneys want Misley to be questioned about her therapy records. Court filings obtained by TMZ question if Misley’s “emotional distress” stems from marital issues separate from anything to do with the Aerosmith frontman. 

Tyler spoke of their interaction in his book, “Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?” Tyler wrote: “She was 16, she knew how to nasty … with my bad self being twenty-six and she barely old enough to drive and sexy as hell, I just fell madly in love with her. … She was my heart’s desire, my partner in crimes of passion. … I was so in love I almost took a teen bride. I went and slept at her parent’s house for a couple of nights and her parent’s fell in love with me, signed paper over for me to have custody, so I wouldn’t get arrested if I took her out of state. I took her on tour with me.”

Misley’s lawyers say Tyler’s legal council is trying to intimidate her and her spouse. They filed a separate opposition saying that Tyler’s team made inappropriate remarks “during prior oppositions and engaging in conduct that crossed the line with witnesses and opposing counsel.” They go on to say that any therapy and/or marriage counseling has nothing to do with Misley’s case against Tyler.

In an Instagram post, AEW World Champion MJF has delivered positive news on his recently hyperextended left knee, sustained during a title defense against Rush on Dynamite. After being forced to miss a Beyond Wrestling appearance last week, MJF has shared footage of himself undergoing cold plunge therapy and revealed that inflammation had already decreased significantly within days. The brash champion, fully in character, credited this recovery method for helping him avoid time off from AEW, suggesting he’ll remain on television while recuperating.

“My inflammation in my knee has drastically gone down. Obviously, there’s still a sh*t ton of inflammation and pain, but being honest with myself, without this cold plunge, I do believe it would have taken me a lot longer to start feeling like myself. And honestly, I think Nordic Wave is going to be a big part of ensuring that I don’t have to take any time off, which is imperative for both my career and, frankly, the company of All Elite Wrestling, ratings, ticket sales, pay-per-view buys, you name it. You’re welcome.” -MJF

MJF has earned a reputation as one of AEW’s toughest and most determined performers, rarely taking extended breaks even with serious injuries. In late 2023, he wrestled through a partially torn labrum and multiple nagging issues throughout his record-long World Championship reign, including a title defense at Worlds End. His latest knee update showcases the same mindset, reinforcing his commitment to pushing through pain unless absolutely necessary and maintaining his dominant presence in the company.

Social media exploded overnight after X.com user @JCup2013 tweeted that CM Punk allegedly tried to politick regarding his match with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 42, drawing heat from management. Additionally, it’s stated that he was among those asked to take a pay cut but declined, and that he may now be seeking to secure his release through legal action. This quickly went viral, with larger accounts helping to amplify the rumor.

“Punk’s alleged attempt at politicking quickly spread amongst the roster, and he allegedly gained massive heat from WWE/TKO execs. Some have told me he was allegedly asked to take – and declined – a significant pay cut. It’s been suggested to me that Punk is so angry that he allegedly may be threatening legal action against TKO to secure a release, though someone else threw a little bit of cold water on that specific point.” – @JCup2013

Punk has been absent from WWE television since the Raw after WrestleMania 42 in April 2026. This was initially blamed on post-Mania schedule changes and shifted creative plans amid roster adjustments. Yet with the latest wave of backstage rumors, some are questioning that explanation, adding fuel to the growing speculation surrounding his future with the company. However, it should be noted that all claims remain completely unsubstantiated.

The Clearwater Police Department recently confirmed that Hulk Hogan died from a heart attack, and there was no foul play involved, which put most fans’ minds at ease. However, Hogan’s daughter Brooke has sharply criticized the handling of her father Hulk Hogan’s death investigation, telling TMZ.com that authorities failed to launch an immediate, large-scale probe, thoroughly question everyone involved, or treat his home as a crime scene from day one. Brooke has previously stated she feels her father’s death was suspicious, claiming he had previously been in great health.

“There’s been a lot of inconsistencies from the beginning. I think CWPD missed the mark by not immediately making this a big investigation and not questioning everything and everybody out of the gate. This should have been treated as a taped-off, locked-down, thorough investigation from day one.” – Brooke Hogan

Hulk Hogan’s relationship with his daughter Brooke was deeply strained in his final years. The pair became estranged around 2023 after Brooke asked to be removed from his will, fearing people in his inner circle were taking advantage of him. She did not attend his funeral but has described their bond as a “sacred” one beneath the surface. Despite the distance, Brooke has expressed gratitude for telling her father she loved him one last time while still continuing to push for full transparency into his death.

In a surprising move that has shocked many fans, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has unfollowed longtime WWE rival Stone Cold Steve Austin on Instagram. The Rock originally followed Austin years ago as the platform rose in popularity, yet Austin never followed him back. This quiet but notable move has now ignited intense speculation about possible underlying tensions between the two icons, despite their legendary on-screen rivalry.

WWE social media unfollows often blend real-life friction, contract drama, and clever storytelling to spark fan interest. Roman Reigns’ unfollowing of Solo Sikoa in 2024 was used to fuel storyline Bloodline betrayal theories, while The Miz’s decision to unfollow WWE accounts and erase company mentions in 2025 raised exit rumors. Becky Lynch later unfollowed controversial UFC star Conor McGregor, with many feeling she no longer wanted to publicly support her fellow outspoken Irish sportsperson.
