WWE main roster star Tiffany Stratton and her boyfriend, NXT wrestler Shady Elnahas, have unveiled a joint tattoo that reads “Till death in this life … & the next.” This romantic gesture quickly went viral on social media with fans buzzing about the bold display of affection between the two rising wrestling talents. Still, some people have questioned the decision as the pair have only been dating for a relatively short time.

Stratton largely kept her dating life private before her WWE rise, though she began a long-term relationship with fellow star Ludwig Kaiser in May 2022 after meeting at the Performance Center. The couple supported each other’s careers for over three years until rumors of a split surfaced in late 2025. Though never officially confirmed, the breakup appeared final by early 2026, and soon speculation linked her to NXT wrestler Shady Elnahas after they were frequently spotted together at Disney World and elsewhere.

In a bombshell social media post, Willie Mack has declared he is about to become a “homeless superhero,” seemingly suggesting that AEW/ROH management has decided not to renew his contract. While not mentioning AEW by name, he used their slogan as a hashtag, although he had been using it more often for their sister promotion, ROH, with his last match in December 2025. Whether homelessness is a genuine concern or Mack was talking about a home promotion is unclear, although he has recently been wrestling for Juggalo Championship Wrestling, where he and 2 Tuff Tony currently hold the JCW World Tag Team Championships.

39-year-old Mack, real name William McClinton Jr., has built a unique 20-year career in wrestling since debuting in 2006. Starting on the independents, he gained prominence in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla and Championship Wrestling from Hollywood. Additionally, he has worked for GCW, MLW, HOG, XPW, AAA, Lucha Underground, and TNA, where he won the X Division title in 2020. And while JCW has been his home away from AEW/ROH since 2024, it now seems likely he’ll be working more indie dates in the future.

In unexpected news, British wrestler Dani Luna has been granted her release from TNA. According to Fightful Select, which broke the news, Luna requested the release herself, and the promotion approved it over the weekend, resulting in an amicable split. Luna made her final TNA appearance at Sacrifice on March 27, competing in a triple threat match for the Knockouts Championship. Why Luna wanted to move on is unclear, but there is already speculation online that she is looking to join AEW.

“Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp and Corey Brennan have learned that Dani Luna has requested her release from her TNA contract, and as of this weekend, had that request granted and is now a free agent. Those we spoke to said that there was no bad blood between the two parties.” – Fightful Select

27-year-old Luna, real name Chloe Smyth, who previously wrestled for NXT UK, made a strong impact during her TNA tenure, teaming with Jody Threat as Spitfire, where she captured the Knockouts World Tag Team Championship twice, first at Sacrifice 2024 and later regaining the titles at Victory Road. The duo later earned TNA Knockouts Tag Team of the Year honors in 2024. After the team split, Luna turned heel and pursued singles success, leading many to think she was set to become a big deal in TNA.

Steve Corino, a former ECW World Champion and current WWE Performance Center coach, has surprised fans by marrying his childhood sweetheart in an impromptu wedding in New York City’s Times Square. The ceremony, which followed a surprise proposal, was officiated by NXT producer Ryan Katz under the iconic bright lights. Katz, who wrestled under the name GQ Money, went on to describe the event on Facebook as a special celebration of love, calling Corino’s bride his lifelong queen and wishing the couple eternal happiness.

“Under the bright lights of Times Square, Steve Corino married his childhood sweetheart and found his lifelong queen. It was an honor to be a part of the experience, and I wish the happy couple the best in eternal love.” – Ryan Katz

52-year-old Corino debuted in 1994 on the independents. It gained fame in ECW between 1998 and 2001 as “The King of Old School,” winning the ECW World Heavyweight Championship in 2000 and memorably feuding with Dusty Rhodes. After ECW folded, he became a globetrotting journeyman, capturing titles in NWA, MLW, and ROH, plus tourned Japan dozens of times. And while he now works for WWE as a producer and coach for NXT, he still occasionally competes on the indies, having become a regular for Premier Wrestling Federation.

WWE star Stephanie Vaquer has addressed a fan on social media after an uncomfortable encounter outside Madison Square Garden following Raw. On her birthday, she politely declined photos and autographs, as she was having a tough day. Still, one so-called wrestling fan persisted by following her, making hurtful comments, and continuing to record despite repeated refusals. And now, after this individual called her “the fakest” in a now-deleted tweet, Vaquer has responded by emphasizing that she usually interacts kindly with supporters and expressed sadness over this boundary violation.

“I always stop and I’m very kind to my fans. Yesterday was my birthday and I was honestly having a really bad day. Even so, I politely asked for understanding, and many people respected that. But you followed me for a long time, saying hurtful things and making me feel uncomfortable. I told you no multiple times, and you kept following me and recording. And now you’re posting this on social media. It’s sad to see people like you call themselves fans…” – Stephanie Vaquer

33-year-old Chilean wrestler Vaquer began her career in 2009 as Dark Angel. After moving to Mexico in 2013, she became a star in CMLL as the first luchadora to hold both the World Women’s and Tag Team titles simultaneously. She later won the NJPW Strong Women’s title and competed in Stardom and AEW before signing with WWE in 2024,  eventually capturing the Women’s World Championship. Still, her life away from the ring hasn’t been as smooth as in March 2023, she filed a domestic violence complaint against her ex-boyfriend, El Cuatrero. He would go on to be charged with domestic violence and attempted femicide, and subsequently spent nearly two years in custody before release in early 2025, with the case ongoing.

Earlier this year, it was reported that Lady Frost’s AEW/ROH deal was coming to an end after management decided not to renew it. And now, according to Fightful Select, her contract is scheduled to expire at midnight on April 1, after which she will officially enter free agency. Still, it isn’t all bad news for Frost, who last wrestled for the company in February, as the report added that multiple wrestling promotions have already expressed interest in booking the talented performer.

“Fightful Select has confirmed that Lady Frost’s AEW contract is set to end at midnight on April 1. Fightful reported that was the plan quite a while back, and it was reiterated today that she will become a free agent. We’re told that there are already companies interested in her.” – Fightful Select

41-year-old Frost, born Brittany Rae Steding, drew from her gymnastics background to enter wrestling in 2018, as Jamie Frost on WWE Raw, losing a quick squash match to Asuka. From there, she adopted the ring name Lady Frost and wrestled for TNA before joining AEW, and its sister promotion ROH, where she became a regular on HonorClub. Additionally, she worked for CMLL in Mexico through its relationship with AEW, a promotion that is potentially interested in using her as a free agent.

Blaze Bayley fronted metal legends Iron Maiden in the mid-‘90s singing on two studio efforts, “The X Factor” and “Virtual XI,” and he also appeared as part of the band’s “Best Of The Beast” greatest hits packages. 

Earlier this month, Bayley’s name was added to Iron Maiden’s nomination for the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, and the singer previously told Web Is Jericho that he would welcome a guest appearance at some point with his former band. 

“To be honest, I’m totally open,” he said in 2024. “I just think it would be so much fun for fans. I hope that (no fans) would start having a punch up, I just think it would be so much fun. I think maybe if there’s ever a 50th Iron Maiden anniversary, maybe they might think, ‘Well, we’ll do that.’” 

Maiden is putting on “Eddfest” to celebrate 50 years of the band on July 11-12, and it appears Bayley might actually get the chance he had hoped for. The band announced that Bayley and his solo band will headline the July 10 date with a special set dedicated to his era of the band. “I’m so excited to be invited to headline Friday night at Eddfest, celebrating 50 years of Iron Maiden,” Bayley said. “I am so proud of my two albums with the band and I’m really looking forward to playing some of the songs that we recorded together. Can’t wait to see you all at the hallowed grounds of Knebworth!”

Iron Maiden will headline the event on July 11. Steve Harris said: “Having the opportunity to put together our very own festival at Knebworth, and celebrate 50 years of Iron Maiden has given me a chance to bring together friends past and present and create a really special weekend for the fans. I’m very pleased that Blaze is able to join us and perform some of the songs we wrote and recorded in the ’90s. He has been a big part of Iron Maiden’s career and I know the fans will be really excited to see him on stage at Eddfest.”

Could Blaze perhaps perform one of his era’s songs with Maiden? Time will tell. 

WWE has announced that the iconic WrestleMania III main event match between Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant will be inducted into the 2026 Hall of Fame as the recipient of the Immortal Moment Award. This is the second match to receive the honor after Steve Austin versus Bret Hart from WrestleMania 13 was inducted last year. The recognition offers a timely tribute to Hogan following his unexpected passing in July 2025 and demonstrates that WWE wants to continue his enduring legacy, which once defined the company.

“The slam heard around the world. The ICONIC showdown between Hulk Hogan and Andre The Giant at #WrestleMania 3 will be honored with the WWE Immortal Moment Award at the 2026 #WWEHOF Ceremony!” – x.com/WWE

This historic main event of WrestleMania III on March 29, 1987, saw WWF Champion Hulk Hogan defend his title against the massive Andre the Giant at the Pontiac Silverdome. Allies turned bitter rivals after Andre had shockingly turned on Piper’s Pit, where he aligned with Bobby Heenan and challenged Hogan. In front of a reported, but at times disputed crowd of over 93,000 fans, Hogan famously body-slammed the 500-pound giant before retaining the championship with his leg drop. The match symbolized the peak of the 1980s wrestling boom, cemented Hogan’s global stardom, and helped establish WrestleMania as a mainstream phenomenon, making it a fitting recipient of the Immortal Moment Award.

Both WWE and Cody Rhodes received heavy criticism when it was revealed that the steep $9,950 price tag was attached to his exclusive WrestleMania 42 bus tour package. However, the WWE Champion has now defended the premium experience on Busted Open, acknowledging that the “absurd” cost may seem excessive, but calls it “a unique and cool experience and something intimate for us.” And while most fans could never afford such an experience, the package sold out quickly, proving that some wrestling fans have deep pockets.

“We did this tour last year very quietly. And it’s just a sweet On Location deal for the people that want a little bit of that extra moment. What I did last year was very fun, they got to see my WrestleMania gear in advance, and we got to talk WrestleMania. I’ve got a good plan for them this year, because, like you said, that’s an absurd amount of money. And, gosh, thanks for the fact that people are out there paying that, that makes me feel incredible. So I want them to definitely feel like they got a unique and cool experience and something intimate for us.” – Cody Rhodes

WWE’s premium VIP packages have grown increasingly expensive in recent years. On Location offerings for WrestleMania events have featured elite experiences ranging from $3,000 to $37,500 per person. Past highlights include luxury suites with superstar meet-and-greets, ringside seating with stage walkouts, and all-inclusive hospitality. For WrestleMania 41, top-tier packages reached $35,000–$38,000, while front-row seats alone hit $50,000 for both nights. These ultra-exclusive options cater to dedicated wealthy fans seeking rare access, though the soaring costs continue to spark debate among the wider audience who feel priced out.

WWE Raw star Ivy Nile lit up social media Monday with a scorching X post captioned “Mania season baby.” The photo drop shows the powerhouse in peak condition, showcasing her dedication to the gym. Fans flooded the replies with awe, and many called for her inclusion at WrestleMania 42, noting that she’s ready to steal the show if given the opportunity.

34-year-old Nile, real name Emily Andzulis, is a mixed martial artist and fitness competitor who competed on NBC’s Titan Games. Signing with WWE in early 2020, she soon debuted on NXT house shows and, after a brief absence, returned as a member of the Diamond Mine stable. Then, in November 2023, Nile moved to the main roster alongside the Creed Brothers, debuting on Monday Night Raw as part of American Made, where she continues turning heads with her shredded physique and relentless drive.

Joey Janela, the popular indie wrestler who departed AEW in 2022, has expressed fresh interest in making a major television comeback. Speaking on The Sandman’s podcast, the 36-year-old revealed that WWE has long been a personal goal, noting it was possible before he signed with AEW. Additionally, he revealed a return to AEW could be viable, suggesting his girlfriend, Megan Bayne, could pull some strings for him.

“I mean, Megan’s in AEW, so I could go there. But WWE was always a goal. I don’t know if it’s attainable at this point, but who knows? With the way things have been going, it’s been up, up, up. Back in 2018, before AEW signed me, there was a chance I was going to WWE. I was one of the top guys in EVOLVE, and everyone from EVOLVE at that time went to WWE. That’s what Gabe kept telling me. So if I didn’t blow out my knee and have Tony Khan sign me while I was injured after All In, who knows? … Now the business is different. A lot of the top guys are 45 to 50 years old. I’m only 36. I still look young, I still feel young, and I can still go with the best of them.” – Joey Janela

Janela has built himself a remarkable independent wrestling career since debuting in 2006, gaining prominence in CZW and becoming a cornerstone of GCW, where he created the annual Joey Janela’s Spring Break event. At one point, it appeared he was set for mainstream success after signing with AEW, but after an uneventful three-year run, he returned full-time to the indies, where his passion for high-risk spots and deathmatches makes him an influential figure.

Teal Piper, the daughter of the legendary WWE Hall of Famer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, has wowed her followers on social media by posting photos from her sunny beach escape. The photos capture her radiant smile against crystal-clear waters and golden sands, while also showcasing her fitness and joy far from the ring.  The second-generation talent doesn’t have much experience, having wrestled only about 25 matches since debuting in 2019, but has competed three times this year.

40-year-old Piper, real name Ariel Teal Toombs, debuted in 2019 at AEW All Out in the Casino Battle Royale, with many thinking she was set to become an AEW star. However, she would step away from the ring for two years, returning to AEW via Dark and ROH, as well as wrestling for Billy Corgan’s NWA. Additionally, she appears alongside her fiancé, Deimos, who previously wrestled for Florida Championship Wrestling when it was a WWE developmental territory.
