The Undertaker Made An Entrance At The Savannah Bananas Game

Former WWE wrestler Jaxson Ryker (fka Gunner in TNA) has made it clear that he has no intentions of returning to the wrestling ring. During a recent interview with Ben Veal, Ryker reflected on his career and confirmed that his retirement is final.
Ryker wrestled his final match in August 2023 against Casey Cage in North Carolina, officially ending his in-ring career by leaving his boots in the middle of the ring. He explained that a primary motivation for retiring at that time was ensuring he walked away on his own terms rather than being forced out.
While he admits to missing aspects of the industry, including entertaining fans and the locker room environment, he has fully transitioned into a new chapter of his life. Ryker has spent the last three years working in law enforcement with the Iredell County Sheriff&#8217;s Office, focusing on his career and raising his daughter.
He noted that his physical health has significantly improved since stepping away, stating that his body feels completely recovered compared to how it felt three years ago. Although he continues to make occasional appearances at wrestling conventions and fan signings, Ryker remains content with his decision and has ruled out ever having another match.
Jaxson Ryker faced major backlash in June 2020 after posting a pro-Donald Trump message during the nationwide Black Lives Matter protests following George Floyd’s death. The tweet drew criticism from fellow WWE stars including Mustafa Ali, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, who publicly condemned and criticized the timing and message. This resulted in Ryker&#8217;s Forgotten Sons faction being pulled from TV, and eventually being released.

Mercedes Moné was scheduled to compete at AEW All Out, but her broken nose forced a change to those plans. AEW President Tony Khan said he expects the AEW Women’s World Champion to be cleared to return in October.
Moné won the title from Willow Nightingale at AEW All In 2026. She suffered the injury during that match and has remained on TV since then without getting physical.
Speaking on the All Out media call, Khan said the injury directly affected the pay-per-view card and confirmed Moné had been set for an in-ring appearance.
“Mercedes Moné was originally scheduled to wrestle on AEW All Out, and that’s the nature of wrestling. It’s a hard-hitting sport. There are injuries and just like in all sports, you have to have a deep roster and be able to think on your feet and be flexible, and that’s what’s great about AEW.
In Mercedes’ case, it’s not a long, long-term injury. It’s something where she’ll be back. I think she’ll be back next month and I’m almost certain she’ll be back next month. That’s the plan: for Mercedes to return in October. That’s why we have this match on the pay-per-view to determine who will challenge for the World Title at our next pay-per-view, WrestleDream. So Mercedes’ injury did affect plans. She was originally set to wrestle at AEW All Out and I think she very much wants to wrestle on Saturday, but the doctors have not cleared her.”
With Moné unavailable, AEW booked Willow Nightingale vs. Thekla at All Out to decide the next challenger for the AEW Women’s World Championship at WrestleDream.

TNA Wrestling has signaled the upcoming TV return of Rosemary through a cryptic new promotional video that aired on the September 24th episode of iMPACT.
Rosemary has been absent from TNA programming since August during the build to Lockdown. Prior to her hiatus, she reigned as one-half of the Knockouts World Tag Team Champions alongside Allie. Her departure prompted TNA to bring back Kiera Hogan to fill the vacancy alongside Allie, and the new pairing currently holds the tag team titles.
The recent vignette showcased a psychological confrontation featuring a calm, relaxed version of Rosemary speaking to another persona strapped inside a straitjacket, hinting at a darker and altered character direction upon her eventual comeback.

TNA Teases Rosemary’s TV Return With Cryptic Vignette

JBL has responded to Aleister Black’s recent criticism of WWE, saying wrestlers should avoid speaking publicly in anger after being released.
Black, who returned to WWE from AEW, was released in April during the company’s post-WrestleMania 42 cuts. Speaking on YouTube alongside his wife Xelina, Black said the release was especially difficult because of what he had been told when he signed again.
“I can pretend that it didn’t suck, but of course it sucks,” Black said. “It always sucks. And in my case, it sucked harder, because of the mountains of things that were like promised and all the other conversations and then being presented with this f**king dud of a year, despite main events.”
On Something To Wrestle with Conrad Thompson, JBL said comments like that can hurt a wrestler’s relationship with major promotions, even if the frustration is real.
“Kerry Von Erich used to always tell me. He said, ‘I want to come back as a carpenter so I can repair all the bridges that I’ve blown up,’ because Kerry didn’t burn them; he blew them up. But that’s what a lot of these guys are doing,” JBL said. “I don’t know if Aleister is burning this bridge or not, but it certainly is not a way to keep an amicable relationship with guys.”
JBL also said his father’s advice was to leave a job quietly and move on.
“My father used to always tell me, when it’s time to leave, grab your hat, shake their hand, just walk out. That’s all you need to do, and that’s the advice that I would give these guys, is shake their hand, walk out,” he said.
He added that there are only a few major places to work in wrestling, making it unwise to alienate key decision-makers.
“There’s not that many places to make it in sports entertainment. And if you’ve alienated Tony Khan, I don’t know if he has or not, but if you alienate Triple H and Nick Khan, that’s WWE. I don’t know why you would want to do that. Just leave,” JBL said. “I get you’re mad. Don’t do interviews when you’re mad. Nothing good ever comes of it. All it comes across is that you’re bitter.”
Black has since returned to the independent scene and won the PROGRESS World Championship from Cara Noir on September 6 in Manchester.
