Ric Flair Gives An Update On His Eye Injury

WWE is reportedly set to form an official on-screen faction featuring Rusev, Ethan Page, and Big Cass in the near future.
According to SelfMadePW, the company plans to make the trio a formal group immediately upon Rusev’s return to TV.
Ethan Page and Big Cass have already begun teaming on RAW, recently defeating Intercontinental Champion Chad Gable and Dragon Lee. Rusev, who has been sidelined since a neck injury in late July, has returned to live events and previously teamed with Page earlier this year.
Original plans to reunite Rusev with Page were delayed by the injury, leading WWE to temporarily pair Page with Cass instead.

Pat McAfee was advised by the FBI to wear a bulletproof vest following the assassination of Charlie Kirk in September 2025, according to a report from Front Office Sports.
A source told the outlet that McAfee regularly receives threatening messages, including death threats. The FBI’s recommendation came the week after Kirk was killed at Utah Valley University.
The report emerged after McAfee criticized the University of Utah this week. During a recent College GameDay visit to the campus, the school posted a video encouraging students to impersonate him. On his show Monday, McAfee said the video made him feel uncomfortable and referenced the Kirk shooting, questioning whether the university was amplifying reasons for people to dislike him.
ESPN issued a statement supporting McAfee, saying the network takes all threats seriously and recognizes his “very real and valid concerns” about safety and security. The University of Utah later apologized for any perception that he was unsafe or unwelcome.
McAfee was last seen in WWE during the main event of WrestleMania 42 &#8211; Night 1, where he got RKOed by Randy Orton. Since Orton lost to Cody Rhodes on that night, McAfee said he&#8217;s retired and will never appear on WWE TV ever again.

Spoiler On Gunther’s Crown Jewel 2026 Match

Jay White&#8217;s new AEW alliance has already undergone a sudden name change, seemingly reacting to heavy online mockery from fans.
During the opening segment of AEW Collision, White stepped into the ring alongside Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin, David Finlay, and Clark Connors to officially unite the Bang Bang Gang and The Dogs under the name &#8220;The Last Outfit.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="525" data-dnt="true">
&quot;You better be DOWN with The Last Outfit!&quot;

<script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The moniker immediately sparked intense criticism across social media, with fans brutally roasting the label, calling it an awful decision.
While AEW has not explicitly pointed to the fan outrage as the reason, the group swiftly altered its branding later that night in a digital exclusive promo directed at Jon Moxley and Death Riders.
In the video, White repurposed the phrase into a metaphor, declaring that they are the only crew left who can slice out the problems hurting All Elite Wrestling before officially proclaiming that the stable is now called &#8220;The Cut.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="525" data-dnt="true">

Here&#8217;s what White said:
