TOP STORIES TODAY

The Undertaker made a surprise appearance on NXT, confronting TNA World Champion Trick Williams in a tense and dramatic segment. Trick, who has risen to the top of NXT but developed an arrogant persona in the process, previously disrespected members of Undertaker's LFG team backstage. In response, The Deadman promised he would appear, and he delivered.

On NXT, Trick called out The Undertaker, prompting the WWE Hall of Famer to address his growing ego and disrespectful behavior. When Trick dismissed the LFG team and questioned their star power, The Phenom hinted at coming out of retirement to face the TNA World Champion himself. The segment culminated in Undertaker delivering a signature chokeslam to Trick, leaving the champion stunned and the crowd electrified.

WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley has officially confirmed that he will wrestle his final match at TNA Bound for Glory 2025 this October. In a recent interview with A2D Radio, the legendary tag team star revealed that this bout will mark his definitive retirement from in-ring competition.

Best known as one half of the iconic Dudley Boyz alongside Bubba Ray, D-Von has left an indelible mark across ECW, WWE, TNA, and WCW. As one of the most decorated tag team wrestlers in history, his final match promises to be an emotional moment for fans and the industry alike. D-Von made it clear that he won’t be returning after this. Bound for Glory 2025 will be the end of his legendary journey.

On the latest episode of WWE NXT, Ethan Page sparked major controversy by throwing away the NXT North American Championship in front of a live audience. Fresh off his successful title defense against Ricky Saints at Great American Bash 2025, Page declared that the title no longer represented the truth of North American dominance, calling it a “lie.” He emphasized his Canadian pride and declared himself superior to all past champions.

To a chorus of boos, Page unveiled a redesigned version of the championship featuring the Canadian flag on the strap, effectively rebranding it as a symbol of Canadian supremacy. The shocking moment solidified Page’s heel status and marked a bold new direction for the title, drawing backlash from fans while further establishing his persona as a brash, unapologetic champion.

FROM THE RUMOR MILL

According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, Brock Lesnar’s return to WWE hinges entirely on legal clearance. Meltzer revealed that Lesnar was quietly placed on WWE’s internal banned list in early 2024, following his implication in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon. Despite being off TV since SummerSlam 2023, WWE and Triple H are reportedly willing to bring Lesnar back immediately but only if WWE’s legal team clears him. The company is proceeding with caution due to the legal sensitivity and public scrutiny surrounding the lawsuit.

This aligns with recent comments from UFC legend Daniel Cormier, who confirmed Lesnar’s banned status and alluded to the severity of the trouble he is in. For now, Lesnar’s return remains uncertain, pending a green light from the lawyers.

TOP FEATURES

Roman Reigns has returned to WWE with a vengeance, aligning with Jey Uso to battle Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. The face duo stood tall on RAW, but SummerSlam 2025 may see a twist. Rumors suggest that Reigns might be written out of the match due to a potential pre-event attack, allowing Jimmy Uso to replace him and reunite with Jey.

This would serve as a major Bloodline moment at The Biggest Party of the Summer, especially if Breakker and Reed manage to “injure” Reigns on RAW, setting up the angle. With tension peaking and fan interest high, WWE could be planning a surprise Bloodline reunion to counter the dominant heel team.

ANALYSIS CORNER

On this week’s WWE RAW, Paul Heyman made a shocking offer to Roman Reigns—inviting him to lead Seth Rollins’ heel stable in The Visionary’s absence due to a knee injury. With Rollins sidelined, the faction has been left without direction, leaving Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed without a leader. Heyman, ever the strategist, saw Reigns as the perfect figure to restore order and dominance.

While Reigns declined the offer initially, the door has been left open for a possible change of heart. Given the growing chaos on RAW and Heyman’s persuasive influence, there’s a real possibility that Reigns may reconsider aligning with the faction, setting the stage for a dramatic power shift ahead of SummerSlam.
