As noted over the weekend, current plans in NXT call for Bayley to begin a title feud with Dana Brooke, before moving on to Eva Marie. Dana Brooke vs. WWE NXT Women’s Champion Bayley has been added to the September 19th NXT live event in Austin, Texas, and other matches for that show include Samoa Joe vs. Tyler Breeze and Baron Corbin vs. NXT Champion Finn Balor.

It's happening!

TMZ.com reports that WWE Divas Paige and Alicia Fox were ejected from Baltimore’s Supano’s Prime Steakhouse on Sunday evening after a brawl broke out between the Divas and a regular patron.

A waiter at Supano’s told TMZ that the Divas were grabbing a drink late Sunday night when a regular customer came in and began harassing them by taking pictures and videos. Paige and Alicia reportedly confronted her before “all hell broke lose” and drinks were thrown by both sides.

Employees jumped in and stopped the fight and they were all forced to leave the venue.

Kurt Angle, who is a guest on today’s episode of the Mark Madden show on the 105.9X radio station, just addressed his wrestling future, saying he will be taking a break from the profession next year. 

Angle said he will not re-sign with TNA when his contract is up this January. He also noted that he will NOT pursue a deal with WWE either; Angle did not say how long the sabbatical would last, but did comment on his current TNA status. 

He noted that he is close to 100 percent healthy, and will be back to appear at the TNA Bound For Glory pay-per-view in Charlotte, North Carolina.

ive seen a few wwe related articles before, I guess one of the writers is a wrestling fan. perhaps there will be one soon

Looks like someone else in NXT is getting fired soon for racism...

One week after Zahra Schreiber was released by WWE due to inappropriate and offensive remarks she made online years ago, another NXT talent is mired in a similar controversy.

On Tuesday night, racial remarks that 20-year-old NXT Diva Nhooph Al-Areebi posted on her Twitter account years ago surfaced on Reddit.com. In one of her tweets, dated February 11, 2012, she quoted a tweet reading “Ugh…######## n*ggers…that’s why I chose white folk. Hmph” and wrote “word.”

That same night, Al-Areebi wrote “why are black people so horny” in response to a user who tweeted this remark to her: “mind if I lick between your Toes to get the salt glue off baby mmmmmmm jam.”

An additional tweet where she wrote “nigha lips” to a user was also revealed (dated September 22, 2011).

Al-Areebi had posted a photo on Instagram last year of herself and a black male wrestler where she referred to him as her slave.

“My slave Preston Myles needs to stop acting like I weigh 200 lbs!” she wrote in the summer of 2014. “Someone buy me a whip plz!”

In a separate Instagram post, which is still online, she wrote, “And @prestonmyles is so black you can’t see him.”

Shortly after the posts began circulating online, Al-Areebi deactivated her Twitter account and removed the first Instagram photo.

Al-Areebi, who is from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, was among the international class of 11 recruits to begun training at the WWE Performance Center in April. Prior to joining WWE, Al-Areebi wrestled under the name Jasmin Areebi for various independent promotions in Canada and the United States including Pure Wrestling Association (PWA), Absolute Intense Wrestling (AIW), and New England Championship Wrestling (NECW). She has yet to make her in-ring debut on the NXT television show, but has been competing in non-televised matches under the name Jasmin. On August 29, 2015 at a non-televised event in Fort Pierce, Florida, she competed in the main event. Alongside The Vaudevillains (Aiden English and Simon Gotch), the trio defeated Alexa Bliss, Blake and Murphy in Mixed Tag Team Match.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decreed this morning that, to avoid any confusion on the matter, all current and retired professional wrestlers will be required by law to host a podcast.

“For the sake of fairness and balance, all wrestlers must henceforth host a podcast to tell old road stories, complain about how today’s wrestlers need a script for promos, and bemoan the lost art of selling,” says a statement issued by the FCC.

“Furthermore, all podcasts must begin with a longwinded monologue that listeners will fast-forward in order to hear a conversation with an embittered, possibly drunk fellow wrestler with an axe to grind.”

The FCC is calling the statute “just a formality,” since podcasts are already hosted by Steve Austin, Jim Ross,  Jim Cornette, Chris Jericho, Taz, Diamond Dallas Page,Kevin Kelly, and roughly 94 percent of all current and past wrestlers.

By making podcasting a legal requirement, the last remaining holdouts to the podcasting genre — namely Bruno Sammartino, Gillberg, and Dean Malenko — will face stiff legal penalties if they do not launch a show within the next six months.

Independent wrestler Colt Cabana, who essentially launched the podcasting trend before hundreds of others followed, issued a statement regarding the new law: “Oy vey.”

Ugh, I hate it when they post this kind of articles, because I always think there's at least one from the list that WILL come back. Anyway, from this list I would pick Steiner, the Hardyz, Trish, Austin and, of course, Goldberg. Oh, oh, and Shane :D

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
