WWE star Bianca Belair has been sidelined since suffering a broken knuckle at WrestleMania 41 nearly a year ago. Still, it was thought she was on the road to recovery after recently undergoing surgery. However, after she shared on Instagram that rehab wasn’t going to plan, Jonathan Coachman revealed on The Coach and Bro Show that she could potentially lose the finger, which, if true, is genuinely heartbreaking.

“I have gotten word that, potentially, not her entire hand, but she could be losing a finger.” – Jonathan Coachman

36-year-old Belair suffered a serious knuckle joint injury at WrestleMania 41 in April 2025, but was only expected to miss 8 to 12 weeks from the ring. Subsequently, that timeframe kept being extended, and surgery, which was considered the last resort, was performed in February. Despite the procedure going to plan, she has since told her social media followers that the finger stiffens repeatedly, making her feel like she is “constantly starting over,” and suggesting a return remains some way off.

WWE’s Erik, real name Raymond Rowe, has joyfully announced on Instagram that he and his wife, Sarah Logan, are expecting their third child, a baby girl, later in 2026. In his post, Erik wrote, “Rowe baby #3 debuting later this year!! Cannot wait to be a girl dad!” This would see countless friends and fans congratulate the couple, with notable names spotted in the replies, including former Riott Squad stablemate Liv Morgan, Maria Kanellis, Natalya, Maxxine Dupri, and Raquel Rodriguez.

Erik and Logan met through their wrestling careers and, after dating for some time, married on December 21, 2018, in a Viking-themed ceremony attended by fellow superstars and featured by WWE. From there, they had two sons, Raymond Cash Rowe, born in 2021, and Ezekiel Joseph Rowe, born in 2024. Therefore, Logan recently confirmed she had retired from the ring, choosing to focus on motherhood and homesteading.

Court documents from the ongoing shareholder lawsuit against WWE’s parent company, TKO, have revealed that AEW’s Tony Khan reportedly submitted a bid to acquire the company through an entity called Base 10, according to a report by Brandon Thurston for Post Wrestling. Khan offered $6.9 billion to acquire the company during the 2023 sales process. However, the bid ranked lowest among competitors, including Endeavor’s winning $8.5 billion all-stock deal, plus proposals from Liberty Media and KKR.

“Although Tony Khan is not mentioned by name in the complaint, Base 10 and All Elite Wrestling are, and their connection is made clear. Public records unrelated to the lawsuit independently confirm Khan’s connection to Base 10. Florida business records show that BASE10, Inc. was incorporated in 2014, listing Khan as its sole officer and the company’s address at the stadium for the Jacksonville Jaguars, the NFL team his family owns.” – Brandon Thurston

The shareholder lawsuit currently in process was initially filed in late 2023 in the Delaware Chancery Court and challenges WWE’s 2023 merger with UFC under Endeavor, alleging that Vince McMahon and executives breached their fiduciary duties. They claim McMahon predetermined the Endeavor deal win to retain power amid his misconduct scandal, rather than to maximize shareholder value. Yet this has always been denied, and at present the fascinating trial is set for June 2026.

AC/DC are scheduled to perform in the Argentinian capital of Buenos Aires next week as part of their ongoing “Power Up” tour. The group is set for performances at River Plate Stadium on March 23, 27 and 31. 

Stevie Young, who took over rhythm guitar duties for the band following the passing of AC/DC founder and rock icon Malcolm Young, has reportedly been hospitalized but is still expected to perform next week. “Out of an abundance of caution, he was admitted to a local hospital where he is undergoing a full battery of tests,” a spokesperson for AC/DC told Reuters offering few other details. “Stevie is doing well and is in good spirits. He is looking forward to getting on stage on Monday.”

Stevie, the nephew of both Malcolm and Angus Young, has appeared on AC/DC’s last two studio albums, “Rock Or Bust” and “Power Up.” He also filled in for the group back in the late ‘80s for their “Blow Up Your Video” tour when Malcolm left to deal with alcohol related issues. 

In storyline, Toni Storm was discovered bloodied in the locker room before a recent Dynamite episode, leading to her removal from a scheduled No Holds Barred match. Subsequently, it was confirmed that this was done due to the real-life injury, as she wasn’t medically cleared to complete. And now, while the exact nature of her injury remains undisclosed, Bryan Alvarez has reported that she will be out of action for “a long time,” which is terrible timing for both herself and AEW.

“Former AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm will be out of action for ‘a long time’ due to an undisclosed injury or injuries. That news comes from our Bryan Alvarez who added that is the reason Mina Shirakawa filled in for Storm and then defeated Marina Shafir on last night’s AEW Dynamite.” – F4Wonline.com

Seemingly, AEW plans to turn her absence into an angle, with fans already speculating on who could be behind the attack. Currently, Marina Shafir stands out as the top suspect, having lost to Storm at Revolution days earlier and delivering a post-match cheap shot. Ronda Rousey is another prime candidate following her dramatic AEW debut, in which she confronted Storm at Revolution. However, some believe that either of these choices would be too obvious, with a shocking heel turn by tag partner Mina Shirakawa or a return by Britt Baker as better payoffs.

AEW’s Ricochet faced intense backlash after replying to a fan’s criticism of his acting ability by cruelly stating he was glad she had multiple sclerosis. However, after initially doubling down, he deleted the offensive tweet and issued a public apology, acknowledging he was in the wrong. And while some speculate this was because he feared he could lose his job with AEW, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, he was actually advised by a friend to do this, and no one forced him to apologize.

“What ended up happening was, one of his friends called him and said, ‘You know, you really should take the tweet down.’ So he took the tweet down. And upon thinking about it, he then apologized. It was not, nobody forced his apology or anything like that. He decided to apologize, and he did.” – Dave Meltzer

37-year-old Ricochet joined All Elite Wrestling in August 2024, debuting at All In in the Casino Gauntlet. Initially a babyface, he soon turned heel, embracing a brash, arrogant persona that he also portrayed online, provocatively engaging fans to generate heat and draw disdain. However, in this instance, he clearly went too far, and it will now be interesting to see whether he tones down his tweeting style, given that his wife, Samantha Irvin, has been receiving death threats over his comments.

AEW star Mercedes Moné, formerly WWE’s Sasha Banks, has taken to X to voice outrage over a tactless YouTube channel named “Ring Rivals” that used her image in a thumbnail along with the caption “He Ate My P*ssy.” The misleading video was supposedly about why she left WWE, but it was obviously just clickbait, which she deemed “exploitation.” Additionally, Moné urged fans to flag and report the channel immediately, stressing that no one should tolerate such content, with her post highlighting the harassment many female wrestlers face online.

In 2025, a CryptoManiaks Sports study revealed that 73% of all harassment toward wrestlers targets women, with the most abused stars being Charlotte Flair, Nia Jax, Mercedes Moné, Saraya, and Tegan Nox. Beyond digital toxicity, which typically comes in the form of body-shaming and exploitative content like the aforementioned video, real threats also persist, with stalking incidents involving Asuka, Sonya Deville, Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, and Roxanne Perez all occurring in recent years, stemming from the internet.

Beth Phoenix has stunned fans with a dramatic new look shared on Instagram, leaving some calling her nearly unrecognizable. The former Glamazon, known for her powerhouse presence in the ring and recent AEW cameo at All Out 2025, posted photos accompanied by the caption “Gen X here.” Some fans have speculated that she could be hinting at an in-ring return after her husband, Adam Copeland, made his AEW comeback at Revolution, but that is far from confirmed.

45-year-old Phoenix made her AEW debut as Beth Copeland at All Out on September 20, 2025, in Toronto during the tag team match between Copeland and Christian Cage versus FTR. She interfered to neutralize Stokely Hathaway, helping secure the victory for her husband and Christian. Still, the WWE Hall of Famer has remained away from in-ring competition since teaming with her husband against Finn Bálor and Rhea Ripley in 2023, suggesting she officially retired.

Samantha Irvin, the wife of AEW star Ricochet, has deactivated her X.com account following backlash and even death threats surrounding her husband’s recent controversial remark. Ricochet told a fan with multiple sclerosis, “I’m glad you got MS,” in response to her criticism, sparking online outrage. Initially, he defended himself, but later apologized, admitting he had wrongly targeted the fan. Still, the controversy has made both the wrestler and the former WWE ring announcer targets, prompting Irvin to step away from the platform.

37-year-old Irvin, a former WWE ring announcer, gained acclaim for her dynamic voice at events like WrestleMania 40 before leaving to pursue a career in the music industry, stating ring announcing wasn’t for her. However, it is believed that once her two-year non-compete clause expires in late 2026, she will join Ricochet at AEW in a managerial role. Of course, this now depends on Ricochet still being employed by the promotion, which is currently uncertain after his ill-advised tweet embarrassed the company.

Fans have accused former WWE executive John Laurinaitis of using AI to generate a fake photo from his signing session at Big Time Wrestling’s March Mayhem event. After returning to the public eye for the first time since the Janel Grant lawsuit scandal, the retired wrestler posted an image on X.com thanking fans for attending, seemingly bragging about the big turnout. However, he has since deleted the photo after wrestling fans pointed out AI hallmarks such as distorted fingers, unnatural background figures, and an Arabic Hulkamania shirt.

63-year-old John Laurinaitis, also known as Johnny Ace, began his wrestling career in the 1980s and found most of his success in All Japan as a tag-team specialist. Then, after working in a backstage role for WCW, he joined WWE in 2001 as a road agent, eventually rising to Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and briefly serving as on-screen General Manager of Raw and SmackDown. Yet in recent years, his career has faced major controversy due to Janel Grant’s lawsuit, which accused him and Vince McMahon of horrific offences, although Laurinaitis was later dropped from the case after agreeing to cooperate and provide evidence.

Over the weekend, Santos Escobar received online criticism for his performance in the AAA Rey de Reyes tournament final, which did not meet his usual high standards. And now, seemingly explaining why he looked out of sorts, Fightful Select has reported he is scheduled to undergo surgery this week to repair a torn tricep, which occurred during an NXT house show match with Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. earlier this year. How long he’ll be sidlesled for is unknown, but he possibly won’t wrestle again this year.

“Fightful Select & Fightful Español has learned that Santos Escobar worked AAA Rey de Reyes injured. The injury got more aggravated during the match, and he is set to undergo surgery this Thursday for a torn tricep. The original injury occurred on the NXT house show tour while working with Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. during Royal Rumble weekend.” – Fightful Select

41-year-old Escobar, real name Jorge Luis Alcantar Bolly, is a second-generation wrestler, being the son of El Fantasma. Debuting in 2000, he excelled in CMLL before joining AAA. As King Cuerno in Lucha Underground, he captured the Gift of the Gods Championship and then joined WWE in 2019 as El Hijo del Fantasma, formed the Legado Del Fantasma stable, and competed on SmackDown, feuding with Rey Mysterio.

AEW star Ricochet sparked major controversy earlier this week after replying to a fan with multiple sclerosis who was criticising his acting by tweeting, “I’m glad you got MS.” This subsequently drew widespread outrage from the wrestling community for the insensitive remark, and while receiving heavy criticism, Ricochet initially defended his actions before issuing an apology. Still, despite owning his mistake, according to F4Wonline.com’s Bryan Alvarez, he could still be in trouble with AEW management, who stated on their message board he’ll be “hoping he’s still employed by the end of the week.”

“If he’s crossing his fingers, it’s hoping he’s still employed by the end of the week.” – Bryan Alvarez

37-year-old Ricochet, real name Trevor Mann, joined AEW in August 2024, debuting at All In London in the Casino Gauntlet. From there, he quickly rose, thanks to his new heel winning the inaugural AEW National Championship at Full Gear 2025, holding it for 113 days. In the past, social media controversies have derailed promising careers in AEW, with Jay Briscoe and Trey Miguel the two most high-profile examples. However, neither had the same name recognition as Ricochet.
