Gzim Selmani, best known to wrestling fans as Rezar of the dominant Authors of Pain tag team, made his bare-knuckle fighting debut on Saturday night, winning a brutal second-round knockout. Fighting for the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship organisation, the former WWE talent with an MMA background defeated Dan Curtin, and subsequently cut a profanity-laced rant where he declared himself the “Albanian Psycho” and that he is ready to knock “motherf*ckers” out.

“I’m here to knock motherf*ckers out anywhere in the motherf*cking world. Come get it, motherf*ckers. I’m f*cking done with everybody. Motherf*ckers. Give it. Get it. F*ck this place, too. What? Give it. Give it to me. I’m the motherf*cking Albanian Psycho. I’m the motherf*cker who came from WWE to this place. I fought my ass off, and I’m here.” – Gzim Selmani

31-year-old Selmani made his WWE debut in 2016 alongside Akam, and together they were heavily pushed in NXT, at one point appearing to be the future of tag team wrestling in WWE. Called up to Raw in 2018, they dominated before claiming the Raw Tag Team Championships and later aligned with Seth Rollins as his enforcers. And while the duo would be released in 2020, they were rehired in 2023, re-debuting the following year on SmackDown.

During Ohio Valley Wrestling’s latest television taping, Referee Dallas Edwards was knocked unconscious, suffering a severe head impact that led to a violent seizure in the ring while the match continued around him. And now Jim Cornette has unleashed a blistering rant on his YouTube channel, labeling it a potential lawsuit and slamming his former promotion as a “fantasy camp” trying to “mimic and copy the big promotions.“

“The bosses over at OVW better have deep pockets because if this ain’t a lawsuit, I’ve never seen one, either from this kid or from his family. We don’t know yet. All we’ve seen is the video that’s been put out … It’s become a fantasy camp environment, not only in OVW but in all of these places. They all want to mimic and copy the big promotions, but they’re still trying to do all the dangerous stuff that even the professionals get hurt doing.” – Jim Cornette

64-year-old Cornette joined OVW in July 1999 as part-owner, head booker, trainer, TV producer, and commentator, partnering with founder Danny Davis and Rip Rogers. As a WWE developmental territory, he turned OVW into a top talent factory, producing weekly TV shows and producing future stars like John Cena, Brock Lesnar, and Randy Orton. His intense, traditional approach defined OVW’s golden era until July 2005, when disputes over WWE’s creative control and an incident in which Cornette slapped Santino Marella led to his departure and the sale of his stake in early 2007.

Part of Andrade El Idolo’s current gimmick is frequently pausing matches to take flirty selfies while interacting with female fans ringside. And now, after this occurred again during the March 15 episode of Collision, indie wrestler Simone Williams, also known as Princess Aussie, has revealed on X.com that she was the woman selected this week, captioning the photo “Collision looks wayyy hotter from this angle.“

35-year-old Williams, born in Australia, debuted in 2018 and has competed under names like Simone Sherie and Cece Chanel after relocating to California. Since then, she has wrestled for promotions such as Future Stars of Wrestling, Women Of Wrestling, and Championship Wrestling From Hollywood, while also pursuing a career in reality television via the Australian version of Traitors and motion-capture work.

Mina Shirakawa, the Japanese professional wrestler known as “The Venus of Pro Wrestling,” grabbed fans’ attention on Saturday night by sharing stunning photographs on X.com to promote her Collision match against Lena Kross, which was taped earlier in the week. Garnering over 10,000 likes, Shirakawa proved she remains an incredibly popular AEW wrestler, even if she is the one who always takes the pinfall for the Timeless Love Bombs, her tag team with Toni Storm.

38-year-old Shirakawa debuted in 2018 and soon gained prominence in World Wonder Ring Stardom, leading factions like Cosmic Angels and Empress Nexus Venus while capturing multiple titles, including the Wonder of Stardom Championship. Since signing with All Elite Wrestling in 2025, she has shone in high-profile matches, making appearances across AEW and ROH, blending glamour and charisma, with rapid in-ring improvement.

Jim Ross has shut down rumors that Steve Austin will wrestle at WrestleMania 42, after speculation arose following reports that he has been invited to attend Raw, which takes place on WWE 3/16 in San Antonio, Texas. On his Grilling JR podcast, Ross stated, “As far as having another match, I don’t see it,” explaining Austin prioritizes his health nowadays. This is likely in reference to lingering issues from both neck and knee injuries that forced Austin into early retirement.

“As far as to have another match, I don’t see it. He’s just, it’s not where his head is, and he’s trying to take care of himself health-wise. To make an appearance, or to shoot an angle, or something along those lines,  I could see that potentially happening. But as far as to wrestle, no way.” – Jim Ross

61-year-old Austin made a triumphant in-ring return at WrestleMania 38 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which was his first match in 19 years. After weeks of buildup, where Kevin Owens disrespected Texas and invited Austin as a guest on The KO Show, he challenged the WWE Hall of Famer to an impromptu No Holds Barred match. Austin accepted, and the two men delivered a hard-hitting brawl that delighted the 80,000 fans in attendance, a nostalgic highlight that will be almost impossible to top.

In a recent IGN interview promoting WWE 2K26, Jacob Fatu revealed his original planned WWE ring name was Caesar Sikoa. The name had previously surfaced via a WWE trademark filing, prompting widespread speculation that it would serve as a nickname for Solo Sikoa. However, Triple H intervened, allowing Fatu to preserve his real name and authentic powerhouse identity rather than a Roman-inspired alias.

“So I had two different songs. My name was actually supposed to be Caesar Sikoa.” – Jacob Fatu

35-year-old Fatu was trained by Rikishi and Gangrel, going on to debut in 2012 on the independents. His big break came in 2019, when he joined MLW, co-founded Contra Unit, and set records with an 819-day reign as MLW World Heavyweight Champion. Signing with WWE in April 2024, he debuted on SmackDown in June as The Bloodline’s enforcer under Solo Sikoa, captured the WWE Tag Team Championship with Tama Tonga, and the United States Championship at WrestleMania 41.

Former WWE ring announcer JoJo Offerman has unveiled her striking, fresh look on Instagram, crediting @vero.fied.studio for the new hairstyle that radiates confidence and renewal. As a devoted mother to Knash and Hyrie, her children with late fiancé Bray Wyatt, who tragically passed in 2023, Offerman’s photographs show that she is embracing life again amid healing, sparking fan praise and discussions on her resilient glow in the replies.

32-year-old Offerman is the daughter of former baseball player José Offerman, who first got involved in pro wrestling via the E! reality show Total Divas before appearing on WWE television. From there, she would sing the US national anthem at 2013’s SummerSlam, leading to her becoming a ring announcer and pro wrestler. However, her in-ring career was short, with the highlight being her participation in a 14-woman elimination match at 2013’s Survivor Series, where she pinned Tamina Snuka. And while she’ll forever be linked to WWE, in recent years, she has made some appearances for AEW.

WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H has paid a heartfelt tribute to longtime production veteran Davey Coates, who has sadly passed away. The WWE Hall of Famer would do this via social media, acknowledging Coates’ contributions to WWE, who served as the company’s International Touring Manager, and would be accompanied by a photo of them together from a 1996 tour of South Africa. As of writing, no cause of death has been publicly revealed for the 63-year-old, who is survived by his son Henry.

“Learned of the sad news of Davey Coates passing. Davey was @WWE ’s international touring manager and was largely responsible for making all international shows, large and small happen. He ensured our wrestling rings got to the most remote corners of the world, our backstage ran smoothly and always took great care and personal pride in assisting our NXT UK talent at the “UK Performance Centre.” Davey sent me this photo some years ago, another memory from an international tour 30 years ago… The thoughts of our crew, our talent and the entire WWE family are with his family today. See ya down the road, Davey. Catch you at the next gig.” – Triple H

Coates was a longtime WWE production veteran who played a crucial behind-the-scenes role in enabling WWE’s global expansion, coordinating logistics to transport wrestling rings and equipment to even the most remote international locations. Coates ensured smooth backstage operations for shows worldwide, large and small. Additionally, he had a particularly strong connection to NXT UK, where he provided dedicated support to talent at the UK Performance Centre and helped keep the brand operational until the decision to close was made in 2022.

Ohio Valley Wrestling executive Al Snow has addressed a scary in-ring incident from earlier in the week where referee Dallas Edwards suffered a serious head injury, resulting in hospitalization. This made headlines because the match continued while Edwards was clearly seriously hurt. And now the former WWE star has confirmed via X.com that procedures and safety protocols are being updated, including enhanced communication systems, additional referee training, and expanded ringside response measures.

“We are reviewing our existing procedures and updating several of our in-ring and ringside protocols to ensure we continue to meet the highest expectations for performer safety. These updates include enhanced communication systems, additional referee training, and expanded ringside response measures to help ensure that a situation like this is identified and addressed as quickly as possible.” – Al Snow

62-year-old Snow, real name Allen Sarven, debuted in 1982 and has since built a 40+ year career in professional wrestling. While a successful wrestler thanks to his time in WWE during the Attitude Era, he is now focused on finding the next generation of talent via OVW, where he trains performers and books shows. Still, he occasionally takes indie bookings himself, with a match against AEW’s MVP last year among his in-ring highlights since his TNA run ended in 2017.

It’s been noted that WWE has just filed trademark applications with the US Patent and Trademark Office tied to recently signed star Danhausen. The terms applied for were “Ghoulhausen,” “Girlhausen,” “Kidhausen,” and “Kid-Hausen,” with the company applying for both wrestling-related purposes and to cover merchandise. This suggests that WWE management has big plans for the former AEW wrestler, who is well-known for his ability to move merchandise.

35-year-old Danhausen, the eccentric “Very Nice, Very Evil” grappler portrayed by Donovan Danhausen, made his WWE debut at the 2026 Elimination Chamber in Chicago, emerging from a mysterious crate amid smoke, dancing women, and over-the-top theatrics. Immediately, he demonstrated his bizarre gimmick by gifting commentator Michael Cole a jar of teeth, showing he isn’t like the talents WWE usually signs, and since then, he has appeared in comedic segments on both Raw and SmackDown.

During OVW’s latest taping in Louisville, Kentucky, on March 12, 2026, referee Dallas Edwards suffered a serious medical emergency in the main event. This occurred when wrestler Brendan Balling launched a flying forearm ff the top rope at Tony Evans, but Evans avoided this by pulling the referee into the move’s path, causing his head to impact the mat, leading to a seizure and the need for hospitalization.

And now OVW has issued an official statement, thankfully communicating that “Dallas is alert and doing much better,” suggesting he is on the mend. However, many fans have still criticized the promotion as the match wasn’t immediately stopped, despite it being clear Edwards wasn’t just selling.

“Last night during Rise, referee Dallas Edwards – a member of our OVW family – experienced a medical emergency during the broadcast. OVW takes the health and well-being of all our performers extremely seriously, and as a company we are all distraught to see an injury to one of our own. Dallas is alert and doing much better. We ask everyone to keep him in your thoughts and prayers and respect his and his family’s privacy at this time. We will provide an update as soon as it is available, but in the meantime, we wish Dallas a speedy recovery and we can’t wait until he’s back with our OVW family very soon.” – OVW

Ohio Valley Wrestling, a historic Louisville-based promotion and former WWE developmental territory, is currently owned by Morley Sports Management Limited. This UK-based sports firm acquired control in May 2025, with MSM’s founder, Rob Edwards, serving as CEO, aiming to expand OVW’s global reach while preserving its legacy. Additionally, former WWE wrestler Al Snow remains integral to operations, overseeing the wrestling side, talent development, and weekly show booking.

Goldy Locks made a surprise return to TNA Wrestling on the March 12, 2026, episode of Thursday Night iMPACT. In a backstage segment, she defended interviewer Gia Miller from The Elegance Brand’s berating and disrespect toward the Knockouts division. Goldy called out their attitude, referenced Mickie James and ODB, who paved the way, expressed missing her old role but not the disrespect, and threatened to call in veteran friends to remind them of their place, suggesting potential future appearances.

46-year-old Goldy Locks, real name Moon Shadow, launched her wrestling career in 2002 with TNA (then NWA-TNA) as a backstage interviewer, known for her sharp wit and tough-talking style. Over time, she evolved into a heel manager, working with names like Erik Watts and Abyss, making her a memorable early TNA personality. However, she would choose to depart TNA to focus on her music career with her band, going on to notably open for the likes of Nickelback, Stevie Nicks, and Maroon 5.
