Jordynne Grace wrestled prior to the Smackdown broadcast last night, her first match since she suffered an ankle injury a month ago.
Grace took on Zelina Vega for an upcoming episode of Main Event, an episode which airs next week.
There were rumors that Grace was scheduled to be in a triple threat match against Giulia and Tiffany Stratton during WrestleMania, but her injury derailed plans. Both Giulia, the WWE Women’s United States champion, and Stratton, are not on the WrestleMania card.
The Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal will return on Smackdown next week on the eve of WrestleMania Saturday.
Now an annual tradition on the final Smackdown before the big show, the match usually is full of stars who are not part of the WrestleMania card and is mainly consisting of lower-to-mid card level stars.
This is the 12th annual of the battle royal, with the last winner being Carmelo Hayes. Hayes, a former NXT and WWE United States champion, is not part of the WrestleMania card after he lost his title to Sami Zayn.

Hall of Fame tickets are being sold through Ticketmaster while Smackdown and Raw are sold through AXS.
Brandon Thurston of POST Wrestling is reporting that WWE is receiving around $4.2 million in tax credits from the Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development to offset production costs for hosting WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.
The tax credit covers the two-night WrestleMania as well as all the other WWE-associated events during the week.
WWE estimated that the total production cost bill will be in the range of $35 million, slightly above last year’s. A final tax credit bill will be issued once WWE’s accounts are independently verified.
The money comes from the who focus on bringing in film and entertainment business to the state, and is figured out based on total production costs which WWE put at $35 million.
WWE is also receiving a site fee for hosting the show in Las Vegas again, however that sum has not been revealed yet.
Liv Morgan sat down with Chris Van Vliet in Las Vegas, Nevada to discuss winning the Women’s Royal Rumble after being in the match every year since it began, the upcoming WWE Women’s World Championship match against Stephanie Vaquer, her return from injury at Survivor Series and her low blow John Cena, why she believes she and Dominik Mysterio are the greatest couple in WWE history, her memorable NXT debut and much more!
This is your eighth WrestleMania. How’s that feel?
“Iconic. We’re just going, and we’re just getting better matches every single year.”
Do you feel the pressure going into this one?
“Not right now, and not in a bad way. I don’t know. I feel like since I’ve come back from my injury, I’m very much just trying to stay in the moment and be present. Obviously, WrestleMania is heavy on my mind, but I’m not feeling any anxiety or pressure yet. I’m just kind of taking everything day by day and just preparing as best as I can. So no, I don’t feel pressure right now in this moment.”
What happened with this injury, and did you immediately know something was wrong?
“Yeah, I just took a weird fall, tried to brace myself, which is stupid. As soon as it happened, I knew, just because you can’t feel anything. But first of all, it’s like such an intense pain, then it just goes away, and then you can’t feel anything because your shoulder is just not connected. So yeah, I knew. I rolled out the ring. I tried to pop it back in. Medical came and tried to pop it back in, and it was kind of just like, I can’t continue, I can’t do anything else. So I had to throw in the towel, which I hated. I think I tried to be really optimistic until my MRI news, I was like, I think I’m okay, but I had done the same thing two years prior. So I knew it wasn’t okay, but I didn’t really want to speak it into existence.”
What a return at Survivor Series. The look on your face just sold that moment so perfectly.
“I don’t even know how I did that. My eyes, I was like, Whoa, dilated. I must have tapped into something right there. I don’t know. But yeah, it was so iconic, and I couldn’t have written a better return, and I mean that so wholeheartedly. I couldn’t, first of all, I would not even have come up with that myself, that was so much more grand and special to me than anything I could have thought of myself. So I was just so happy and honored.”
You were on the receiving end of one of Bianca Belair’s hardest, loudest hair whips ever. How long did it take for that to heal up?
“I had a scar for quite a while. Honestly, I haven’t looked at it in a bit. I still think I have a very bit of a tail end mark. Also my back too. I have a scar on my back from some injury I had taken from the Elimination Chamber. So yeah, it scarred me up pretty well. But honestly, that’s like one of my favorite matches ever. That was one of my favorite matches ever, and like the final two with Bianca and I is one of my favorite moments. I feel like the audience really didn’t know who was going to take it. I think just that Chamber specifically in and of itself, with Jade and Naomi. I just think it was so well done. I think that was like one of the best Chamber matches, in my opinion, for the women.”
In a long post on X, Pat McAfee claimed that he has a “massive surprise” which he will announce live tonight on Smackdown from San Jose.
McAfee said that his daughter and baby boy on the way will see a WWE that is thriving, a WWE that is the greatest form of entertainment on Earth because a man “sent directly from the wrestling and sports entertainment gods will be properly leading the business once again.”
He added that WrestleMania Saturday is going to be “the most historic night in the history of sports” and Orton will prevail “for all of us.”
After saying that he has a massive surprise in store for Smackdown, McAfee added, “You’ll start thanking me and Randy soon enough for all of this.”
In a teaser video for Rebellion posted on the TNA social media accounts, the company has hinted at the return of its former champion EC3.
The video shows an old TNA lock box being opened and as the video comes closer to showing inside, EC3 merchandise is clearly visible filling up the box.
The 43-year-old worked for TNA between 2013 and 2018 before going to WWE for a two-year stint. He is a former two-time TNA World champion.
The show takes place live tomorrow from the Wolstein Center in Cleveland and airs on pay-per-view.
In an interview with Angie Martinez published yesterday, Nikki Bella revealed that she is still waiting results of an MRI from her ankle injury which she suffered a few weeks ago during a tag match.
Nikki rolled her ankle during the start of the match as she teamed up with her sister Brie to take on Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. Nikki finished the match, but said that it was stressful both for her and her sister, who was only in her second match back in eight years.
“So she tags me and as I’m about to come in, she goes, ‘Oh I think I broke my ankle!’ and we’re on live television,” Brie explained. “I was like, ‘Huh?’ I was like, ‘Do we need to call the match?'”
Nikki said she thought it was broken as it felt exactly how it felt the last time she broke her ankle but results are still not out yet.
“We don’t know if it’s a high sprain or something else, so I got an MRI I’m waiting for the results,” Nikki said.
The twins are in a fatal four-way tag team match featuring also champions Nia Jax and Lash Legend, Bliss and Flair, and Bayley and Lyra Valkyria. In the event that Nikki is not cleared to compete, a replacement team is rumored to be on standby.
This week’s episode of NXT drew 605,000 viewers, up 33,000 viewers from the prior week and their best number since February 17. The show had a 0.08 rating in 18-49, which is the third week in a row pulling that number. (Ratings credit: Programming Insider)
TNA announced the dates and location of the remaining pay-per-views they have for 2026, including the new ones which will be added to their yearly calendar.
First on the list is Slammiversary which will be held on Sunday, June 28 live from the Agganis Arena in Boston, Massachusetts.

“This is a milestone moment for TNA Wrestling – our loyal fans can see the full picture of what we have planned for the rest of 2026,” said TNA Wrestling President Carlos Silva. “Slammiversary in Boston and Bound For Glory in Tampa are the crown jewels of this schedule, but I’m equally excited about adding two more pay-per-views to the calendar in Chicago and Edmonton. This calendar is a statement about where TNA Wrestling is headed.”
Abyss made a surprise return on TNA television last night on Impact.
The former champion showed up in an Undead Realm segment which also featured Tessa Blanchard, Mara Sade, Rosemary, James Mitchell, Victoria Crawford, and Mila Moore.
Abyss’ appearance came when Rosemary asked Mitchell for a favor, and he said that nothing was for free in the Undead Realm. He then guided her into a room with the TNA Hall of Famer present. Abyss bowed down to Mitchell, telling him, “Forgive me, father, for I have sinned.”
Abyss worked for TNA between 2002 and 2019 and today, the man behind the mask, Chris Park, works for WWE as a producer.
MJF called TNA President Carlos Silva a “dumb motherf*cker” in a post on X after news came out that Silva pulled out all TNA talent from wrestling AEW stars at several indie shows during WrestleMania 42 weekend and beyond.
There were rumors that Silva was not happy that AEW moved Collision to Thursday last week, head-to-head with their program.
“It’s called being preempted due to March madness,” MJF wrote on X. “This guy is actively a dumb motherf*cker. Congrats. You pay your talents shit. Force them off shows where they can make money. #lolTna”
The AEW World champion continued to bury Silva during an appearance on Busted Open Radio today, calling Silva’s tactics as “disgusting.”
MJF said that TNA barely pays their talent any money and are now preventing them from shows because they’re banned from wrestling people from other promotions.
“Does that help young talent grow? Does that help young talent become better inside the squared circle? Moreover, does that help young talent put food on their plate so they can eat?” MJF said.
“What Carlos Silva is doing is disgusting. And if anybody supports him or that company at this point, it is very hard for me to wrap my head around,” he continued.

WWE announced that Royce Keys, the artist formerly known as Powerhouse Hobbs, will make his Smackdown debut tomorrow night.
Keys has been signed to WWE since January and made an appearance at the Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia, his first and only televised appearance for WWE so far.
“From East Palo Alto to the world stage, @RealRoyceKeys’ journey has shaped him into the man he is today,” the WWE social media account wrote along with a video hyping his debut. “Keys writes another chapter in his story when he makes his official #SmackDown debut TOMORROW!!”
Keys is a former AEW TNT champion and refused a new deal with AEW in hopes of a better future with WWE.
Mexican star La Catalina is expected to make history by becoming the first talent to move from CMLL to AAA ever since the TKO takeover last year.
Luchablog is reporting that the 25-year-old star is on the way to AAA after her CMLL contract expired in the beginning of April and expected to make her debut on the Saturday, April 11 show.
She is not new to the WWE machine as she worked for the company between 2019 and 2021 under the names of Carolina, Catalina, and ultimately Katrina Cortez.
La Catalina has been wrestling for CMLL since 2023 and opted not to renew her deal to move to AAA.
West Coast Pro promoter Scott Bregante was not happy after TNA pulled all of its talent from facing AEW stars during his two upcoming shows in Las Vegas during WrestleMania weekend and called the decision “abysmal dogshit.”
“Working with talent on an independent level, after clearing everything, and doing business, only to have said talent pulled after the fact, high or low profile, gives me zero reason to work with anyone from said company making said arrangements,” he wrote, suggesting that he would not be interested in using TNA talent in the future.
“Abysmal dogshit,” Bregante continued.
He said that when you have an understanding and it gets cleared, all parties involved have weighed risks.
“To get it cleared by multiple channels and by multiple companies, to then have said company go BACK on it, is garbage. And a Memorial show at that,” he said.
West Coast Pro will run West Coast vs The World and another show in conjunction with Marvelous Pro Wrestling at Bizarre Bar in Las Vegas.
