Ric Flair has revealed he is back on good terms with WWE and plans to attend Royal Rumble 2027.
Speaking on Booker T’s Hall of Fame podcast, Flair said he and Triple H have made up after a personal hug. “Me and Hunter hugged. We made up. I’m back in,” Flair stated. He added that fans will “see a lot of me now” and confirmed he will be at the Royal Rumble, scheduled for February 2027 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
The comments come after previous tensions, including Flair being barred from WrestleMania 42 weekend events and disputes over licensing deals.

CM Punk issued the following statement after losing the Undisputed WWE Championship to Sami Zayn on last night&#8217;s SmackDown:
&#8220;I lost 67 day undisputed title run. At 47. I’d like to say I did it on purpose for my boy Je&#8217;Von Evans but nobody wants to lose. Here’s the thing: Winners lose way more than losers do. I don’t have to try again. I get to try again. I didn’t have to come to Mexico. I don’t HAVE to do house shows. I get to.
I get to wrestle in front of the best fans in the world in Guadalajara, Monterrey and Mexico City. I don’t have to get the title back. I get to try to get the title back. I don’t HAVE to come to work. I GET TO COME TO WORK. So I’ll see you all in Corpus Christi. I will get MY title back. You don’t have to watch. You get to.
BITW
A sincere final thank you to all the fans in Guadalajara, Monterrey and Mexico City. You came out and helped us set records, cheered your hearts out and showered us with love. Truly a wonderful bunch of beauts and a rich fantastic culture. A pleasure to wrestle for you. It has been thirteen years since I saw you all. I promise I’ll be back much sooner next time.
¡VIVA MEXICO!&#8221;

CM Punk Issues Statement After Losing The Undisputed WWE Title

Ricochet has claimed that WWE placed a two-year non-compete restriction on former ring announcer Samantha Irvin specifically to prevent her from joining All Elite Wrestling.
Responding to a fan on social media who questioned the length of the restriction, Ricochet wrote:
&#8220;Because they knew how amazing she is and wanted to make sure she wouldnt go to AEW.&#8221;
Irvin departed WWE under an employee agreement that permitted her to resign with two weeks&#8217; notice, but leaving before the conclusion of her three-year deal activated an unpaid 24-month non-compete clause. She had previously signed a contract extension in early 2024 that included a pay raise despite expressing a desire to step away from ring announcing.
Since leaving the company, Irvin has focused on her music career while awaiting the conclusion of her non-compete clause. With the two-year restriction set to expire next month, she will soon be free to work for other wrestling organizations, though there is currently no official confirmation regarding a potential move to AEW.

Keith Lee recently resurfaced on social media after a nearly year-long absence, appearing alongside Darius J. Wright to promote a program known as AYDA (Awaken Your Dormant Abilities). Wright&#8217;s teachings focus on non-physical reality and out-of-body experiences, which led to online speculation and concerns from fans regarding the nature of the organization.
Reports have since indicated that Lee&#8217;s interest in the program is entirely legitimate rather than a wrestling storyline. Lee is said to be deeply committed to AYDA, a development that aligns with recent discussions surrounding his prolonged absence from professional wrestling.

During an appearance on the DukeLovesRassling podcast, WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley reacted to the reports surrounding Lee. D-Von noted that while he lacks firsthand knowledge of Wright or AYDA, the descriptions presented to him were concerning.
D-Von shared his perspective based on his Christian faith, warning against spiritual leaders who claim to have all the answers. He referenced biblical warnings regarding false prophets, emphasizing that individuals seeking a spiritual awakening should focus on God rather than elevating human figures.
Ultimately, D-Von expressed hope that the cult labels being applied to the group online prove to be unfounded, stating that he simply wishes the best for Lee&#8217;s well-being as he continues his personal journey.

Former WWE Superstar Zoey Stark (Zoe Serrano in TNA) revealed a tense backstage confrontation that nearly resulted in a physical fight between an unnamed veteran and a rookie wrestler.
Speaking on her series &#8220;Zoey 101,&#8221; Stark recalled how the incident began when a new wrestler (whom she referred to as a &#8220;green kid&#8221;) confronted one of her close friends, an established veteran. The rookie complained about being bruised during a match and told the veteran to learn how to work.
Although the veteran defended her abilities, the rookie continued to argue. Stark, realizing the situation was about to escalate, intervened and pulled her friend away before any punches were thrown.
According to Stark, the veteran&#8217;s anger did not immediately subside. Once they reached the locker room, the veteran began flipping tables out of frustration. While the situation eventually calmed down without a physical fight, Stark chose not to reveal the identities of either wrestler involved.
Stark ended by saying: &#8220;That was the closest I have seen to a locker room fight. I will say the green kid has some balls, because the person you talked to like that, you better be careful. I wouldn&#8217;t want to mess with that.&#8221;
