Elektra Lopez was a part of the sports entertainment giant from 2018 to 2025. During her tenure on the main roster, La Madrina managed Legado Del Fantasma, a group that included Santos Escobar, Angel, and Berto. Her last in-ring match occurred on the December 6, 2024, episode of SmackDown, where she competed against Tiffany Stratton and Naomi in the first round of the Women's United States Championship Tournament.
Speaking on the Fan's View podcast, the 33-year-old star recalled being on SmackDown TV when others were being released, thinking she had avoided termination. Elektra Lopez arrived home that afternoon around 2:30 PM and received a call informing her of her release without explanation. She felt she wasn't given a fair opportunity despite her hard work for WWE.
 Damian Priest said that he was proud to be part of the National Puerto Rican Parade once again, which was being held in New York City. The event is taking place on Sunday, June 8, and he will be featured as a part of it. This comes after another recent honor, when the former Judgment Day member was added to the Bronx Walk of Fame. The star was congratulated and added to the prestigious walk, along with others from the Bronx who had done such a good job at standing out from the crowd and becoming leaders of their community. |  As good as Alberto Del Rio is in the ring, he is known for being involved in quite a few controversial incidents. He is infamous for having a terrible temper, which has led to a suspension in the past. It looks like Alberto Del Rio may have found himself in another bit of controversy. Recently, he was on a talk show involving El Hijo del Vikingo's father. A spat between the two caused the Mexican star to lose his cool, and he attacked Vikingo's father on set brutally. He even ripped off his shirt and kept punching him as security stepped in to stop the former World Champion. Del Rio then broke a chair on set, and the production team was in fear. As the incident took place, a woman could be heard screaming, asking Del Rio to leave the set of the show, which he eventually did. |
FROM THE RUMOR MILL
Chad Gable is set to face El Hijo del Vikingo at the show. However, during the RAW broadcast, the match graphic for the said contest was shown, claiming that it's going to be for the AAA Mega Championship. The graphic spoiled Vikingo's win over Del Rio on May 31.
According to Fightful, WWE actually geoblocked the RAW broadcast with the botched match graphic in Mexico. This means that the AAA Mega Championship match wasn't effectively spoiled by the company.
