Update on Andrade

According to a report from Jon Alba of Sports Illustrated, Andrade had at least one WWE Wellness Policy violation during his most recent run, leading to an unpaid suspension.

It was also reported that he was escorted from a taping last month in relation to the suspension, which impacted major creative plans for his tag team with Rey Fenix. This exit follows a pattern of contentious departures, beginning when he first requested and was granted his release from WWE in March 2021 due to frustrations over his creative direction.

He then joined All Elite Wrestling, where his tenure was also marked by a backstage altercation with Sammy Guevara, and he ultimately left the company in December 2023 after his contract expired. His return to WWE in January 2024 was seen as a fresh start, but this latest release concludes his second stint with the company in less than two years.

Andrade Gone From WWE

In a surprising move, Andrade has officially parted ways with WWE. According to an initial report from Fightful, this was not a case of his contract expiring, as he reportedly had over 18 months remaining on the deal he signed upon his return last year.

The departure is said to have been in the works for at least a week. While the specific circumstances remain unclear, his absence had been noted. He was not on WWE's internal injury list in August but was reportedly unavailable for booking. His last appearance was at SummerSlam, and his sudden exit has reportedly impacted immediate creative plans. The news came as a surprise to many within the company, as numerous talent were apparently unaware he was leaving. Mark from Bodyslam.net was the first to notice Andrade had been moved to the alumni section of WWE's website.

This exit follows his departure from AEW in December 2023 under less-than-ideal circumstances. At that time, AEW had offered him a contract extension they believed he had agreed to before he informed them otherwise, altering their creative direction. Sources within AEW were reportedly unaware of his WWE departure, but indicated a future return would not be impossible.

WrestleMania 43 Confirmed to Take Place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

In a landmark announcement, WWE has officially confirmed that WrestleMania 43 will emanate from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 2027, marking the first time the company's flagship event will be held outside of North America.

During a press event, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque stood alongside General Entertainment Authority (GEA) Chairman Turki Al-Sheikh to make the historic declaration. Levesque stated, "I'd like to announce that for the first time ever, WrestleMania will be held outside of the United States and Canada. In 2027, we are proud to announce that WrestleMania 43 will take place in Saudi Arabia as part of Riyadh Season."

This monumental decision deepens the long-standing and lucrative partnership between WWE and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which began in 2018 and has seen the country host multiple premium live events annually.

The official word confirms reports from earlier in the week that stemmed from an accidental press release from the Saudi government. For over four decades, WrestleMania has been exclusively hosted in the United States and Canada, making the 2027 edition a significant step in WWE's global expansion strategy under TKO Group Holdings.

Jerry the King Lawler Suffers Stroke

WWE Hall of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler is recovering after suffering a stroke last week. According to a report from TMZ Sports, the 75-year-old wrestling legend experienced the medical issue last Friday at one of his homes in Florida, forcing him to pull out of a scheduled appearance.

His daughter confirmed the news, stating that Lawler is now on the road to recovery and will be resting at his primary residence for several weeks before returning to his normal schedule. This is the latest in a series of health scares for Lawler.

In February 2023, he suffered what was described as a "massive stroke," which required a stay in the ICU followed by outpatient rehabilitation.

He also reportedly had a stroke in 2018. One of his most public health emergencies occurred in 2012 when he suffered a heart attack and collapsed live on air while providing commentary during an episode of WWE's "Monday Night RAW."

WrestleMania 43 To Be Held In Saudi Arabia

An accidental press release from the Saudi Arabian government appears to have revealed that WWE's flagship event, WrestleMania, will be held in the kingdom in 2027. According to a report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider, the prematurely released announcement for WrestleMania 43 is "100% legitimate."

Earlier today, a press release written in Arabic was distributed, stating that the major event would take place in Saudi Arabia. The release was quickly retracted, suggesting it was sent out by mistake ahead of a planned official announcement. Despite the retraction, PWInsider confirmed the authenticity of the news and noted that a formal announcement from WWE is expected to be made soon.

If confirmed, this would mark the first time in its 43-year history that WrestleMania will be held outside of North America, signifying a major step in WWE's global expansion. The move builds upon the company's existing multi-year partnership with the Saudi Arabian government, which has seen WWE host large-scale premium live events such as Crown Jewel and Super ShowDown in the country since 2018. While the partnership has been financially lucrative for WWE, it has also drawn criticism over the years.

The potential international location for its biggest show of the year follows WWE's recent trend of hosting premium live events across the globe, including recent successful shows in France, Australia, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

Wardlow Suffers Pectoral Injury

AEW star Wardlow has reportedly suffered a significant injury immediately following his long-awaited return to the company.

According to a report from Fightful Select, sources within AEW fear that Wardlow has sustained a torn pectoral muscle, an injury that would sideline him from in-ring competition for a considerable amount of time.

The timing is particularly unfortunate, as Wardlow had just come back from a year-long absence. It is suggested the injury may have occurred during his return angle, though this is not confirmed.

Despite being cleared from prior injuries for several months, his return was postponed as he filmed two seasons of the "American Gladiators" reboot.

While he may be unable to wrestle, there is a possibility he could remain on television in an enforcer-type role. Many of his fellow talent are said to be disappointed by the news after his lengthy recovery and wait to return to AEW programming.

All Japan Pro Wrestling Prodigy Taishin Nagao Dies at 21 After Tragic Accident

Photo Credit: AJPW

Taishin Nagao, a rising star in All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) widely regarded as a generational talent, has died at the age of 21. His passing comes more than three months after he was involved in a devastating accident with a tour bus that left him with life-threatening injuries.

On May 31, Nagao was struck by a tour bus in a motor vehicle accident that is still under investigation, according to a report from "PWTorch." He was immediately transported to a hospital and remained in the intensive care unit for the subsequent three months. While AJPW has asserted that an official report will be released soon, "Monthly Puroresu" reported that the medical findings pointed to "traumatic shock caused by compression of his abdomen" as the critical injury he sustained. The official cause of his death has not yet been publicized.

Despite his short time in the ring, Nagao had already made a significant impact. The young prodigy made his professional debut in October 2024 against Ryo Inoue and was quickly seen as a future cornerstone of the promotion. Competing as a junior and working his way toward the traditional heavyweight league, Nagao's trajectory was aimed at stardom. His final match took place on May 18 of this year, where he secured a victory over Shota Kofuji, just weeks before the tragic accident.

The news of his death sent shockwaves through the Japanese wrestling community. Veteran wrestlers, including AJPW mainstays Suwama and Seiki Yoshioka, took to social media to pen personal tributes and express their condolences. Fans also shared their grief online, remembering Nagao's rapid rise and the immense promise he showed, with many bookers and critics having touted him as Japan's next biggest star. The premature end to Taishin Nagao's career and life represents a profound loss for All Japan Pro Wrestling and the industry as a whole.

Arez Signs With AEW Over WWE After Bidding War

Luchador Arez is officially All Elite, set to debut in AEW as El Clon (The Clone), a character directly linked to the recently introduced Hologram. The new persona was teased during the most recent episode of AEW Collision, and the signing represents a significant acquisition for the promotion following a competitive bidding situation with WWE.

According to a report from The Cubs Fan(@LuchaBlog), WWE had shown significant interest in signing Arez, which ultimately prompted AEW to make a definitive offer. “WWE checked him out, liked what they saw, and let him know they wanted to bring him back to AAA. Arez let AEW know that he now had another offer, and they needed to make a final decision. AEW decided to make its own offer, and Arez picked AEW over WWE,” the report stated. “This is more notable than just Arez signing with AAAA, as it’s the first known AEW/WWE battle over a Mexican free agent since WWE acquired AAA – but I would emphasize the ‘known’ part.”

Known as "The King of Strange Style" (El Rey del Estilo Extraño), Arez is a highly-regarded veteran of the Mexican independent circuit, lauded for his unique and technical in-ring prowess in promotions like Lucha Libre AAA, Major League Wrestling (MLW), and Game Changer Wrestling (GCW).

The storyline introducing him as a clone of Hologram is particularly compelling given the real-life history between Arez and the man behind the Hologram character, Aramis. The two luchadors have a long and storied history as both rivals and partners, having produced numerous critically acclaimed matches against one another across Mexico and the United States. Their established chemistry adds a significant layer of depth to the new AEW angle.

Why All In 2018 Is The Most Important Wrestling Event in Modern History

Seven years ago today, Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks held the original All In event.

To understand why it is arguably the single most important wrestling event in modern history, we have to go back to 2001.

With WCW and ECW gone, the WWF became the last remaining major professional wrestling promotion in North America, a position it would hold for nearly two decades. From this supreme dominance, a vacuum developed.

This vacuum, combined with the passion of unsigned wrestlers in the early 2000s, gave birth to the American Independent Wrestling scene.

Promotions like Ring of Honor, CZW, PWG, TNA and IWA-MS sprung up, providing an alternative style and a place of employment for those outside the WWE system.

As WWE largely closed its doors to working partnerships, promotions from Japan, Mexico, and Europe began building relationships with the American Independents, cultivating a growing interest in international wrestling among US fans.

New Japan Pro Wrestling, in particular, saw a major resurgence thanks in part to fans like the late RealHero12089 Jahmale Hepburn sharing NJPW shows with Americans who otherwise had no access.

---

By 2018, partnerships like the one between ROH and NJPW had formed the framework of an alternative wrestling ecosystem. However, the true potential of this scene remained untapped until Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks took a tweet from Dave Meltzer—claiming a non-WWE show couldn't sell 10,000 seats—as a direct challenge.

In response, they self-funded their own event, All In, and sold over 10,000 tickets in under 30 minutes, proving the alternative style was a quantifiable success. Capturing the attention of billionaire wrestling fan Tony Khan. Unbeknownst to Cody and the Bucks, Khan was already making in roads to putting a new wrestling show on cable television.

Four months later, All Elite Wrestling was announced. The spiritual successor to All In.

While All In was intended to be a culmination of everything the American indies and international federations had built, it ultimately became a beacon for the future of the industry.

Today, there are once again two major national promotions in America, with one—All Elite Wrestling, the direct successor to All In—maintaining a focus on the very alternative styles that built its foundation.

The importance of the original All In event should never be lost to history; just because this chapter doesn't belong to WWE, it is no less significant.

AJ Lee Returning to WWE?

According to Fightful, AJ Lee's name has been circulating internally in various pitches over the last couple of months. Notably, these pitches haven't been dismissed as they have in the past, with WWE sources indicating more traction on a potential comeback than in previous years.

A high-ranking WWE official expressed confidence in Lee's ability to return to the ring without issue, citing her physical condition and the precedent set by her husband, CM Punk, who also made a successful return after a prolonged absence. This sentiment is reportedly shared by many within the company, who believe she could seamlessly transition back into a prominent role.

The speculation reached a fever pitch at the conclusion of WWE's Clash in Paris event. In the main event, Seth Rollins retained his World Heavyweight Championship in a chaotic fatal four-way match against CM Punk, Jey Uso, and LA Knight. In the aftermath of the match, the ongoing animosity between Rollins and CM Punk led to Becky Lynch’s involvement.

As Punk was leaving the arena, he acknowledged a fan's sign that read "AJ Lee," holding it up for the cameras in a move many are interpreting as a deliberate tease.

This moment, combined with the internal discussions at WWE, strongly suggests that the door is more open than ever for an AJ Lee return. While nothing is confirmed, the events at Clash in Paris have added significant weight to the rumors, leaving fans to wonder if and when they will once again hear the familiar "Let's Light It Up" theme song in a WWE arena.
