Ex-WWE and new TNA star Shotzi Blackheart issued the following statement:
&#8220;Late Sunday night, I lost my brother Dean. Being away from my family these last few days has been hard, but they’ve been so supportive and encouraged me to fulfill my commitments this week.
I will, however, need to withdraw from my CMLL tour next week to be with my family and honor my brother’s memory. It was a huge honor to be selected for the CMLL Grand Prix, and I don’t take that opportunity lightly. Thank you to everyone at CMLL and the fans for understanding how hard all this is for me.&#8221;

Shotzi Blackheart Withdraws From CMLL Grand Prix After Brother’s Death

Shotzi Blackheart has officially locked in her wrestling future by putting pen to paper with TNA Wrestling, just days after walking into free agency.
While Major League Wrestling had hoped to keep using the former NXT Women&#8217;s Tag Team Champion for dates in 2027, her previous MLW contract officially expired last week with no binding extension in place, leaving her completely eligible to field outside offers.
That door blew wide open on Tuesday when Shotzi showed up at TNA&#8217;s TV taping in Dothan, Alabama. Now, Fightful Select confirms through sources within TNA that she has officially signed a deal with the company, effectively forcing MLW to activate their backup creative plans.
Although the exact length of her new TNA contract has not been disclosed, the rapid turnaround firmly cements her status as part of the TNA roster moving forward.

Shotzi Blackheart Has Signed With TNA

During an interview on the Club Shay Shay podcast, World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns explained why he doesn&#8217;t work WWE Live Events anymore:
&#8220;Now with my schedule, people will pick on it but they don’t remember from 2012 to 2018 when I was doing 150-200 shows a year, every single year, just working my a$$ off, putting my time in, that’s where I learned how to do everything. And we’re trying to get that back.
I think we’re trying to run more live events and they are good, but we’re just at a business model where TV rights are TV rights and there’s just so much money on the line that we’ve got to that point where it’s just like it doesn’t make sense for me to do live events anymore.
What if I got hurt? There’s so much money that’s riding on Mondays and Fridays and our PLEs now that I can’t just go out there and wrestle for 4,000-5,000 (fans) only, just for those eyes only. Now, I’ve got to conserve it.&#8221;

In the opening match of WWE Money In The Bank 2026, Roman Reigns defeated LA Knight to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.
During the match, LA showed a middle finger to Roman. This moment has now been edited from the Netflix replay of MITB for international users outside the United States.

This appearance has sparked widespread questions about where she will land next, but new reporting reveals she is officially a free agent after her contract with Major League Wrestling expired earlier this month.
According to Fightful Select, Shotzi had been working under a six-month MLW deal that ran out on October 5, freeing her up to explore outside opportunities like TNA, where officials fully expect to sign her to an agreement. Shotzi remains on excellent terms with MLW. While she agreed to work several MLW dates in 2027 and the promotion already has storylines mapped out for her, the office has also put backup plans in place just in case she decides to sign an exclusive contract elsewhere.
For now, she will skip MLW’s upcoming tapings due to an existing booking on Chris Jericho’s cruise, leaving her immediate future wide open as negotiations continue.

Roman Reigns has a very clear metric when it comes to judging the greatest wrestlers in history: the money they drew for the company.
During his appearance on the Club Shay Shay podcast, host Shannon Sharpe asked Reigns who he places on his personal Mount Rushmore of professional wrestling. Reigns explained that while many fans split the debate between ring work and star power, he only looks at one factor.
&#8220;Everybody always divides it up like money drawers and in-ring,&#8221; Reigns said. &#8220;To me, only one metric matters: the money. And it&#8217;s show business. The first day I went around the ring, my dad told me, &#8216;Don&#8217;t ever be confused. This ring is only about money. It&#8217;s a business. Don&#8217;t treat it any other way.'&#8221;
With that business mindset, Reigns selected four icons who transformed WWF/WWE&#8217;s financial landscape:
&#8220;So, I would probably have to say Hulk (Hogan), Steve (Austin), Dwayne (&#8216;The Rock&#8217; Johnson), and John (Cena). Those are my&#8230; I mean, you could definitely throw some other guys in there for sure, but we only got so many slots. And those guys, I mean when it came to the money and shifting the business and completely changing the view of it, the optics of it, they all had their own way of doing that.&#8221;
Sharpe then pushed him to pick just one person from that group as his single &#8220;G.O.A.T&#8221; (Greatest of All Time). Reigns admitted it was a very tough call, praising &#8220;Stone Cold&#8221; Steve Austin for his unmatched merchandise sales and The Rock for reaching superstardom faster than anyone else.
In the end, Reigns gave the edge to Hulk Hogan for building the very foundation of the modern wrestling world.
&#8220;Man, that&#8217;s tough. I think I&#8217;d go with Hulk,&#8221; Reigns revealed. &#8220;It&#8217;s tough, you know, it&#8217;s hard to not say Steve, but Hulk also took us from a carnival to a global product, you know what I mean? So, that&#8217;s a tough one.&#8221;

Roman Reigns Names His Wrestling Mount Rushmore and the Greatest of All Time

Dominik Mysterio has taken a lot of hard hits in his WWE career, but one night in 2022 left him with the most painful injury of his life.
During an appearance on Six Feet Under with The Undertaker, Dominik opened up about the worst injury of his WWE career (so far): suffering a cracked rib and a punctured lung during a match against WWE Hall of Famer Edge.
The injury took place on the September 12, 2022, episode of Monday Night RAW in Portland, Oregon. It was Dominik&#8217;s first singles match after turning heel and joining The Judgment Day at Clash At The Castle 2022.
Dominik went to the top rope to hit a Frog Splash on Edge. However, because he had not wrestled a full match in a while, his timing was slightly off: &#8220;I did the frog splash and it had been a long time since I had wrestled at that point, so I came up a little short and cracked a small rib and that punctured my lung.&#8221;
Despite breaking a rib and puncturing his lung right in the middle of the match, Dirty Dom pushed through the pain to finish the bout. It was not until he walked backstage that he realized something was terribly wrong and that he could barely breathe.
Dominik was rushed to a local hospital around midnight. With a morning flight scheduled to take him back home, he was desperate to leave:
&#8220;We were in Portland, Oregon, and I had a 7 AM flight back home and I got to the hospital at maybe midnight. They did X-rays and I was like, &#8216;Hey, can I just get the f**k home?&#8217; They were like, &#8216;You can’t fly with one of these. We can do X-rays at 5 AM again and if it’s small enough, it’s your choice.&#8217; They did it and they were like, &#8216;It’s small enough. It’s your choice.&#8217; &#8216;Get me the f**k home.'&#8221;
Dominik took the risk, boarded the plane, and headed home to heal. Hearing the story prompted The Undertaker to share his own memories of dealing with broken ribs and collapsed lungs during his legendary career.
The Deadman noted how brutal rib injuries are for wrestlers, because every breath, cough, sneeze, or bump in the ring causes severe pain. Dominik admitted that his ribs still bother him from time to time, but pushing through injuries like that helped him earn respect in the WWE locker room during the early run of The Judgment Day.
