On season 3 of WWE Unreal, World Tag Team Champion Bron Breakker opened up about how he suffered a hernia on the February 2, 2026 episode of RAW:
&#8220;I was supposed to destroy the set and get as mad as I possibly could. Had nothing to do with physicality or anything like that. It happened when I was screaming, my entire midsection locked up.
I went to the back and we still had one more shot to do. I was in the locker room and I was kind of hunched over holding my stomach like, what the hell just happened? When I went to stand up to do the second shot, I couldn’t stand up. I couldn’t come out of this hunched over, feel sorry for me crap.
Ultimately, I went into medical and I said, ‘I think something’s going on. I think it’s a hernia.’ The doc took one look at it and went, ‘Yeah, we need to go to the hospital right now, get surgery.’
I just kinda let everybody down. It sucked. I’d gone on this journey for a year and put in all this work in, done all this stuff. My body quit on me. There’s nothing I could do, otherwise I would’ve done it.&#8221;

“I let everybody down. My body quit on me” – Bron Breakker Recalls Suffering A Hernia On RAW

Andreas Hale has been released from ESPN. He issued the following statement:
&#8220;I was just informed that my time at ESPN has come to an end, as I am one of the casualties of the company-wide layoffs. I&#8217;ve been here before. Change is constant, but the outcomes are uncertain.
There will be those who are overjoyed with the news and others will be shocked. Either way, I gave my all covering boxing, MMA and pro wrestling and will continue to do so wherever the next chapter of my career takes me.
Once again, you know where to find me because I&#8217;m not going anywhere.&#8221;
For those who don&#8217;t know, Andreas is the ESPN reporter who gave WWE PLEs bad reviews right after WWE&#8217;s deal with ESPN started last year with Wrestlepalooza. In September 2025, WrestleVotes reported that many within WWE were both surprised and confused by ESPN handing their first-ever PLE a grade of &#8220;C.&#8221; Several questioned why ESPN would associate that kind of &#8220;online stigma&#8221; with Wrestlepalooza, which was otherwise viewed internally as a fairly typical WWE event.
Earlier this year, WWE blocked Andreas from covering WrestleMania 42. Here&#8217;s what he posted about it:
&#8220;I will not be covering WrestleMania for ESPN.
WWE denied my credentials and blocked my access.
Neither I nor ESPN has been told why.
You can speculate on the reasons, but if you want answers, ask WWE.
Let me know what they tell you.&#8221;
This led to R-Truth replying the following to him:
&#8220;Cause you a b*tch a$$. That’s why&#x1f937;&#x1f3fe;&#x200d;&#x2642;&#xfe0f;… I said what I said&#8221;

In 2005, WWE Champion John Cena and World Heavyweight Champion Batista honored Hulk Hogan by putting their titles on the Hulkster&#8217;s shoulders.
In 2025, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk honored John Cena by putting their titles on Cena&#8217;s shoulders after Cena&#8217;s retirement match.
On season 3 of WWE Unreal, CM Punk revealed that he came up with the idea of putting the titles on Cena&#8217;s shoulders:
&#8220;I saw a clip, it&#8217;s gotta be 2005, because Batista and Cena are both champs and Hogan&#8217;s there. Cena and Batista, they both take their titles off and they put them on Hogan&#8217;s shoulders.
I think the universe does silly things sometimes, I can&#8217;t remember who sent me the clip, but I knew there was a reason I saw it because I saw it right before that day Cena was retiring. I just thought it&#8217;s symbolic.&#8221;

Stone Cold Steve Austin proved he still has a winning drive by picking up a win at the Night Vision 250 off-road race in Fallon, Nevada this past weekend.
Racing under his Broken Skull Racing team, the WWE Hall of Famer beat out the competition to finish in first place in the stock mod division.
On top of his category win, Austin put up a strong overall performance against a crowded field, placing 13th out of 36 drivers across all divisions with an official finish time of 5 hours, 46 minutes, and 25 seconds.
Here&#8217;s what Austin wrote:
&#8220;We qualified 8th and were running really good for almost a lap when some issues came up. We ran most of the race at a conservative pace to cross the finish line and get podium points. I was surprised we won our class. We looked at the car last night and are working on the fix for the next race in 5 weeks.
Midway thru the race a huge rock was kicked out in the middle of the course. We had just dodged a previous rock and this was a race ending situation as this was the kind of rock that would rip a complete front corner off the car. I squared up and went right over the top of it. The impact rattled the skeletons of both myself and my co driver.
The front bumper and skid plate built by Teixeira Tech took most of the damage and protected the car for the most part. The H2 shot up in the air, came back down, and we kept going. That could have easily taken us out of the race. But we got by, and promptly marked it as a DANGER for the next few laps. I did not want to hit that sucker again…
That Fallon, NV course is rough, rocky, slippery, and fun. Our Baja Designs lights were great, but we did not get to test them prior to race. Vision was a problem during the night portion of the race. We will def do our night testing for VC-Tonopah.&#8221;

On season 3 of WWE Unreal, John Cena said his heel run in 2025 was putting heat on WWE:
&#8220;I was explaining that it was too boring, that it was too bad. I think people are gonna stop coming. The perspective was, ‘Hey, this isn&#8217;t heat on you, this is heat on the company.'&#8221;
Triple H admitted that he realized Cena&#8217;s heel run wasn&#8217;t working:
&#8220;To some degree, John Cena&#8217;s perspective was spot on. John earned the shot to be like, ‘Okay, let&#8217;s take a shot at it.’ But there was a certain point in time where I was like, ‘Okay, this is not working. You still gotta deliver to these people.’ Hopefully you’ll do it in a manner in which they don’t like that, but you gotta give them your greatness still.&#8221;

On season 3 of WWE Unreal, AJ Lee talked about her WWE return in 2025 and her new salary:
&#8220;One of the things I fought for back in the day wasn&#8217;t just for equal footing. It was let&#8217;s get paid the way the men get paid.
To know I&#8217;m signing this contract where I am getting paid the way my husband&#8217;s getting paid, where I&#8217;m being treated like an equal&#8230; it was a boss-a$$ moment.&#8221;

On season 3 of WWE Unreal, Seth Rollins talked about suffering a shoulder injury at Crown Jewel 2025.
Before he got injured, the plan was for him to head into WrestleMania 42 as the World Heavyweight Champion:
&#8220;Looking at the trajectory of what it was gonna look like going into next year, and raising the stock of Bron and Bronson, and heading into WrestleMania with the World Heavyweight Championship, and it just felt like, you know, this was gonna be a really good year.
To kind of see that go up in smoke is&#8230; I feel very disappointed. And I feel like people will be disappointed in me. I&#8217;m disappointed in myself.&#8221;
