The Hollywood Reporter has a story about Brandi Rhodes getting a brand new reality show, titled All Rhodes.
The show is produced by Magilla Entertainment, the production company behind Moonshiners, Diesel Brothers and Beachfront Bargain Hunt.
All Rhodes will chronicle Brandi Rhodes’ life at “the center of family, fame and a rapidly expanding business empire,” and the company will start the process of shopping the series to networks.
“I’m thrilled to be partnering with Magilla Entertainment on this new docuseries. I’ve long admired their work, and couldn’t imagine a better team to capture the ambition, chaos and heart it takes to build and grow a business,” said Brandi.
“Brandi is in constant motion; she wears so many hats and moves at a relentless pace across every part of her life,” Magilla co-founders and executive producers Matthew Ostrom and Laura Palumbo Johnson said in a statement. “Entrepreneurship is already a full-time endeavor, but Brandi is constantly expanding what she takes on, and that ambition and drive are at the center of what this series explores.”
A “surprise” which was set up at WWE World to be revealed today ended up being Pat McAfee insulting WWE fans in a live broadcast.
A screen was erected with a countdown and once that countdown expired, McAfee showed up to massive boos from the crowd who gathered to watch.
“Surprise, nerds,” McAfee said while live from his show.
“The surprise that you thought was maybe going to be your favorite wrestler of all time. Maybe somebody from AEW was going to sign with WWE at WrestleMania and you marks were going to get zipper burn all over yourself. Instead, well, well, well, Pat McAfee is smarter than all of you dumb marks yet again,” he continued.
He said that he could smell all their lowlife disgusting bodies all the way from Indiana and when he gets to Vegas later in the day, everyone should be thanking him.
Rhea Ripley recently had to reveal she had an eating disorder to calm down fake news being spread around her on social media.
Appearing on the Pod Meets World podcast with Danielle Fishel and Will Friedle, the former WWE Women’s World champion addressed her issue more in detail, saying that the past year has been really difficult for her, especially since it affects her a lot if friends or family at home are going through difficult times themselves.
She says thankfully, her husband, her dogs, and her friends are her strong points and going on X is really difficult for her.
“I need to delete that. It’s hard going on and trying to make it a work environment, but then, because it is a work environment, I get all these things coming up on my For You page. As soon as I click on the app, it’s negative towards me,” Ripley wrote.
“I can’t even escape it or doom-scroll like a normal human without seeing things about me, about my body, about my booking, about me as a human, even though they don’t know who the hell I am. It does get really tiring, but that’s also why I like to share what I’m going through.”
She said originally there was no plan to reveal what she was going through, but also saying what she has might help others too in the process.
“I needed that when I was going through stuff as a kid. If I knew my idols were going through these struggles and they are powering through and being amazing, and I look up to them and think they are strong and larger than life, then I can get through it too,” Ripley said.

PWInsider.com is reporting in an exclusive story that Saraya has signed a new multi-year deal with WWE and is expected to return this weekend at WrestleMania.
It is believed that the former AEW Women’s champion will be replacing Nikki Bella in the fatal four-way tag team match for the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles as Nikki Bella remains injured and not cleared to return yet following an ankle problem.
The British star departed WWE in June 2022 after her deal expired and was not renewed. She was at the time not wrestling with the company after neck problems prevented her from competing in the ring, with WWE doctors not comfortable in clearing her.
Saraya went on to sign for AEW later that year, returning to the ring and eventually also winning the AEW Women’s title. She left the company in March 2025.
If she indeed returns to the ring this weekend, it would mark her first match in WWE since December 2017.
Live tonight from the Dolby Live Theater at MGM Park, WWE presents the WWE Hall of Fame 2026 induction ceremony.
Stephanie McMahon, AJ Styles, and Ax and Smash of Demolition will enter the Hall of Fame while Dennis Rodman will enter the celebrity wing. Sid and Bad News Brown will also be inducted in the legacy wing. The families of Sid and Bad News Brown are not expected to deliver speeches.
The Immortal Moment will also return, with the Hulk Hogan vs Andre The Giant match at WrestleMania III being recognized. With this HOF induction, Hulk Hogan becomes a three-time WWE Hall of Famer and Andre The Giant becomes a two-time Hall of Famer.
The Hall of Fame will air at Midnight ET and streams live on the ESPN Unlimited app for viewers in the United States. For those internationally, the Hall of Fame will air on WWE’s YouTube channel.
Tickets for the Hall of Fame remain available on Ticketmaster.com.
WWE will host the WrestleMania Kickoff show this afternoon in Las Vegas at the Toshiba Plaza right in front of the T-Mobile Arena. It is free and open to the public.
The live broadcast starts at 5PM ET, or 2PM local time, and will feature appearances by WWE Superstars who will be part of the two-night WrestleMania.
Those who want to follow the show live can do so by going to the WWE YouTube channel.
Don’t expect Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in Las Vegas this weekend, or so he says.
The People’s Champion was in Sin City yesterday to attend the final night of CinemaCon and appeared on stage to promote the live action remake of Maui along with his co-star Catherine Laga’aia.
But on social media, The Rock said he was going back home for his daughter’s birthday.
“Being a proud girl dad, three times. I have a daughter in her 20s, I have ten, I have eight…I have seven,” he wrote. “My youngest is going to turn eight tomorrow. Happy birthday Tia, I know you’re going to see this. I love you. I’m coming home tonight.”
Johnson has not appeared on WWE television since the Elimination Chamber of last year, when he helped John Cena turn heel. His involvement in that angle was only that and disappeared from TV afterward.
The reboot version of American Gladiators will start streaming on Amazon’s Prime Video today and the host of the series is none other than two-time WWE Grand Slam winner, The Miz!
The latest incarnation of the popular series will feature a total of 16 new American Gladiators, four of whom are wrestlers.
Michael Wardlow and Kailey Latimer, better known to fans as Wardlow and Kamille from AEW, are part of the cast and so are Eric Bugenhagen, who was Rick Boogs in WWE, and former TNA star Jessie Godderz.
The show was filmed in Paris, France between in mid-June of last year.
An Amazon Prime subscription is required to watch.
Night one of NXT Revenge on Tuesday drew 584,000 viewers, down 21,000 viewers from last week’s broadcast. The show had a 0.09 rating in 18-49, up 0.01 from the prior week and their best number since March 3. (Ratings credit: Programming Insider)
Becky Lynch sat down with Chris Van Vliet at West Coast Creative Studio in Hollywood, California, to discuss her time away from wrestling and her return at WrestleMania 41, her new theme song performed by The Wonder Years, having to keep Seth Rollins’ fake injury a secret, fans believing that she doesn’t put other wrestlers over, her upcoming 10th WrestleMania match against AJ Lee, auditioning for Happy Gilmore 2, her new coffee company, and more!
How hard was it to lie about Seth’s injury leading up to SummerSlam?
“Not hard to the public. I mean that with love for everybody, but that’s what we do. The job is acting. I’m letting you in on a story, here is the story that we were telling. To our friends and family, that was a little bit trickier. Yeah, that was the hard part.”
So who knew?
“Roux, she knew. A few of our friends and family. I let my mom know, she wasn’t gonna tell the dirt sheets. His mom knew, yeah, but the worst part was I had people texting me. Bianca was texting me. She was like, ‘I think Colby got hurt. Do you want me to go check on him?’ I was like, ‘Ah, no, that’s okay. I’m sure he’ll text me back whenever he is ready.’ She was like, ‘Oh, are you sure? Oh, wait, no, I think this might be work now, never mind. I’ll stop asking.'”
Do you share the same disdain for AJ Lee that your husband has for CM Punk?
“Not on that level, I just want her gone. To me, she’s like a fly I gotta get rid of. Get out of here. Nobody wants you. Nobody wanted you back. Be gone. You weren’t here for me when I was wrestling, when I was coming up. So I don’t want you now. Saying she’s proud of me. She wasn’t proud of me when she left. She was scared of me. That’s what happened. She was scared of me. She saw it in my eyes. She saw the fire. She went bye-bye, so long. But then, you know, she didn’t go ahead and say crap about me for years. It’s a little bit different.”
Who has the home-field advantage in Las Vegas?
“Oh, that’s me. Because WrestleMania is my home. This is my 10th WrestleMania, which makes it an anniversary, which makes it special. Started WrestleMania 32, here we are, 42. I missed one because of the child.”
Was 32 special because it was your first one?
“Yeah. But also what that match meant. We got rid of that stupid butterfly belt that AJ Lee is so proud of, got rid of that crap, and we brought in the women’s title. So it was really ushering in a new era. I know we say that a lot, but that one really was. That was a game changer for women, the way that they spotlighted that match, and dare I say, best match on the card, in front of 100,000 people.”
There was this idea online that you don’t put people over. I’d like to go through the list of all the people. Liv Morgan, Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Maxxine Dupri, Zoey Stark, Lyra Valkyria, so I don’t know where this idea comes from.
“I don’t know. I think that’s when you’re the top of the card, it happens to everybody. Nobody is unscathed. It was Sami Hogan. It might still be Sami Hogan. It’s Cody Hogan, it’s Roman Hogan, Seth Hogan, we’re all Hogan, which say what you will about the man, one of the biggest stars to ever exist. So, yeah, I think it becomes this thing. People don’t understand how creative happens and if they see somebody that is in a preferable spot for a long period of time, they go, okay, that’s because that person is politicking and trying to hold everybody down. So, you know, it’s just people don’t know how it happens, and they don’t know what goes into it, and that’s fine, you know? They’re entitled to have their opinions. I want you to have your opinions, go nuts with your opinions. But now I’m just gonna do what I do, and how you feel about me is how you’re gonna feel about me.”
A total of 16 Superstars who last year were part of the WrestleMania 41 card are not on this year’s card, with some big names omitted.
Perhaps two of the biggest ones are Tiffany Stratton and Iyo Sky, who found themselves with no match despite a stellar year. Stratton walked into WrestleMania last year as the WWE Women’s champion and retained the title over Charlotte Flair while Sky did the same, retaining her WWE Women’s World title in a triple threat match against Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley in what was a match of the year contender.
Speaking of Bianca Belair, she injured her finger during that match and the former champion has been out of action ever since. Another female unable to compete is Naomi, who several months ago had to surrender the WWE Women’s World title because she was pregnant. Raquel Rodriguez is another one who doesn’t have a match this year, having teamed up with Liv Morgan in a tag match last year.
Chad Gable’s El Grande Americano is also without a match, with his mask vs mask match against the other Americano set for an AAA event later next month. His WrestleMania 41 opponent, Rey Fenix, found himself empty handed as well, not even a spot in the Intercontinental title six-way ladder match.
Bron Breakker might be cleared again, but his original rumored opponent, Seth Rollins, is now facing Gunther and Breakker has no match, perhaps his return being saved for Raw After Mania. Damian Priest is another one who has no match despite holding the WWE Tag Team titles with R-Truth. He went against Drew McIntyre last year.
Two tag teams who battled each other last year at WrestleMania 41 are missing too: The New Day and The War Raiders. None of them had any impactful program on WWE television as of late so their absence is not surprising.
Then-TNA champion Joe Hendry was the big surprise of the evening last year, coming out as Randy Orton’s mystery opponent. Hendry is now under a WWE deal and part of NXT, but no one has called his name for 42, yet.
And two Superstars who were on the card last year have now retired, although one of them will be the host this year! We’re talking of course about AJ Styles and John Cena, both of whom were sent packing by Gunther. Cena is serving as the host of the two-night event while Styles will appear as part of the Hall Of Fame segment.
WWE yesterday unveiled the Hulk Hogan statue at WWE World in the presence of Hulk’s son Nick and longtime manager and friend Jimmy Hart.
The life-size statue has Hulk carrying an American flag and cupping his ear and it will be available for everyone to see throughout the weekend at the WWE fan convention.
Nick and Hart were on hand to give a first-look at the upcoming Hulk Hogan Netflix documentary and Nick participated in a Q&A after.
A closed-off Hulkamania exhibit is also part of WWE World, with long lines throughout the day to enter.
The former WWE champion died unexpectedly at the age of 71 last July.
TKO stock took a dive yesterday, losing $8.66 throughout the trading day, or the equivalent of 4.48% of its value.
Now trading at 184.44, it’s the lowest it has been since November 2025 and it’s nearly 12% down year-to-date. Stocks started the week at $197.85 but trended lower throughout the past few days before today’s dive.
While there are talks of this year’s WrestleMania being the least-attended in a stadium since WrestleMania 19 and excluding COVID times, the show is still expected to match last year’s gate revenue, if not go over it, due to more expensive ticket prices.
Former WWE World Heavyweight champion Jey Uso got into an altercation with rapper Cam’Ron during an appearance earlier today on Cam’Ron and Ma$e’s podcast It Is What It Is.
Cam’Ron kept pushing the wrong buttons, telling Uso he’s not on par with some of his other family members like Roman Reigns, and he’s just a “Saturday performer.”
He was then asked about Logan Paul and IShowSpeed, who are wrestling The Usos and LA Knight on Saturday.
“They can get slapped, too. You wanna try?” Uso asked.
“I don’t know where we are going with this, but let me try and stick to the script,” the rapper responded.
Jey wondered if he even wanted him on the show and Cam’Ron said he’d like some Sunday performers and can’t smell what “Uce is cooking.”
Jey told him that he was coming off disrespectful but Cam’Rom said Jey was coming off like that, especially in his house.
“I think your family is wrestling royalty. When you say you wrestle as good as The Rock, I got a problem with that. I just can’t respect it,” Cam’Ron told Jey.
At that point, Uso decided he had enough, stood up, and grabbed Cam’ron, pulling him across the table, leading into a big brawl before others in the room got involved to separate the two.
Thousands flocked to the Las Vegas Convention Center South Hall today for the opening of WWE World and the WWE Superstore.
If WWE had trouble selling WrestleMania tickets, they sure didn’t have any trouble selling merchandise, as everything was flying off the shelves.
Perhaps the most popular section was the replica titles counter, where fans lined up for over an hour to get their hands on mini titles and other replicas available for sale. Some fans walked away with one, some walked away with way more than they should have.
Every item you can think of which could boast a WrestleMania Vegas logo is available for sale. T-shirts, caps, shoes, necklaces, hoodies, pendants, mugs, and everything in between. Almost every WWE Superstar was represented with some kind of merchandise and employees were busy restocking shelves as quickly as they possibly could.
There was no sold out items this time around, not because people didn’t buy, but because a lot more were produced.
This year’s Superstore is the largest one ever, with over 60,000 square feet of space.
Entrance to the store is free, but your credit card will take eventually take a massive hit.
