The NXT title will be on the line in a fatal four-way match at the upcoming Stand & Deliver premium live event next month.
The match, featuring Joe Hendry defending the NXT title against Ricky Starks, Ethan Page, and Tony D’Angelo, was announced last night by Robert Stone after the main event had a melee between all four.
A match between former friends, Sol Ruca and Zaria, was also announced for the event, which currently has five matches.
Stand & Deliver was removed from the WrestleMania weekend and for the first time will be a stand alone event taking place on Saturday, April 4 in St. Louis.
In a rare interview on the Barstool Sports podcast Spittin’ Chiclets, former WWE champion Brock Lesnar said he returned to WWE for a short time so he could feed his kids.
“You guys should see my grocery bill. I had left the company years ago, and I’m grateful that I’m back for a short time here so…I’m really grateful for all the opportunities that I’ve had in my life,” Lesnar said.
There were rumors flying around that Lesnar would be retiring from in-ring action in the Summer, coinciding with the SummerSlam premium live event in his old stomping grounds of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Lesnar also said the none of his championships or accolades mean anything to him as his three kids are his legacy.
“My kids are my legacy. I mean, in today’s dark-ass world that we’re living in, if you can come out and have good kids, I take a lot of pride in that,” Brock said. “When parents come to me and say, ‘Man, your boys are really respectful.’ That pumps my tires, you know?”
Brock has four children, two from his previous partner, Nicole, named Mya and Luke, and two from his current wife Rena, named Turk and Duke.
All his three sons play ice hockey while his daughter is a track and field athlete. She is a 2025 NCAA Division I champion in shot put.
In a video posted on social media, Seth Rollins and his wife Becky Lynch announced the launch of their new passion project – AMO Coffee – which will debut next month in April.
“The other day we dropped a little teaser online saying we were going to announce something new and something big and here it is,” Rollins said. “We are launching our very own coffee brand called AMO. For the past seven years, we’ve been traveling the world together trying different coffees in different countries and different continents, different cities all over the world and we’ve fallen in love with coffee and AMO is our way of bringing that love to you.”
Rollins said that in the next few weeks, they will be announcing some events related to their coffee brand and fans should stay tuned for more information.
On Facebook, Rollins wrote that their worlds collided in the ring, and their love was solidified over expertly-made cups of joe.
“AMO is a symbol of our journey and that love. It’s what makes us tick — day in and day out — literally and figuratively,” he continued.

While Pat McAfee is no longer part of the WWE commentary team, he remains a good friend of the company and will welcome WWE champion Cody Rhodes to his Pat McAfee Show tomorrow afternoon.
Rhodes will join McAfee and his team at the Thunderdome starting at 1:05PM on ESPN for Rhodes’ first interview since getting attacked by Randy Orton.
In a recent social media video, McAfee stated that WWE is in a good spot without him and does not anticipate returning in his old position of teaming with Michael Cole on commentary.
IShowSpeed made a surprise appearance on Raw last night and was shown on screen a couple of times, including a speaking part backstage.
The charismatic Speed was shown with Adam Pearce during a backstage segment where he was hyped up to see Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, CM Punk…and that’s when Danhausen entered the frame to a surprisingly big pop from the crowd.
Danhausen asked Speed how is he that famous if he only has “180 human followers,” to which Speed corrected him by adding a million after 180.
Danhausen then had a proposition for him, doing a show together called IShowSpeedHausen and they can split the profits. Speed rejected the proposal so Danhausen cursed him for good measure, something which Speed was not happy about.
In a digital exclusive video, Danhausen then challenged Speed to a race, with the stipulation that if Danhausen wins, he gets the password to Speed’s YouTube account and if Speed won, he would remove the curse from him.
The newest WWE Superstar was no match to IShowSpeed, as he magically won the race as well.
This was Speed’s first appearance on WWE television since he got absolutely mauled by Bron Breakker at last year’s Royal Rumble, a clip which went viral for the sick-looking spear delivered on the 21-year-old.
Have to be quicker than that to beat @DanhausenAD in a race! 💨
TNA Impact drew 250,000 viewers this week, down 9,000 viewers from the prior week with the show going head-to-head against the NCAA basketball. It had the same 0.04 rating in 18-49 that the show scored the prior week. (Ratings credit: Programming Insider)
John Cena has always promoted younger talent to leave WWE in a better place after his retirement. Now that his professional career has come to an end, he hasn’t given up on his primary mission. His final loss to Gunther helped the rising star reach new heights in the WWE. And that’s not the only example when matches defined the brand’s new talents. Let’s take a look at some of the most notable names so far.
Oba Femi
Oba Femi started his professional career in 2023. But his first match took place in January 2024 during the NXT Breakout Tournament. In that debut, he defeated Dante Chen, marking a strong start to his in-ring career. Femi began to gain momentum after entering WWE’s NIL program. He ended the last season with the biggest back-to-back moments of his career. His match against Cody Rhodes became one of the biggest clashes of the year. Femi shocked the audience with his ability to match the intensity and presence of his rival on the mic. His fans actively use the online betting service to wager on the player’s victory in the WWE match.
Despite his rising dominance in the ring, Femi doesn’t try to outshine other young talents like Je’Von Evans and Ricky Saints. He started the 2026 season as NXT Champion, defending his title in a match against Leon Slater. He also defeated Joaquin Wilde.
Sol Ruca
Sol Ruca began her professional wrestling career in 2022 after signing with WWE. Her in-ring debut match took place on NXT in 2022. She won in her debut tag team match while wrestling next to Dani Palmer. The successful debut helped showcase her athletic style right away. She gained a lot of attention for her high-flying moves soon after.
Ruca was a dual champion in NXT throughout the last year. She spent 189 days as the women’s champion in North America and around 200 as the female speed champion. Despite those achievements, her most impressive victory took place at Saturday Night’s Main Event when she defeated Bayley. In 2025, Ruca transformed from having the best wrestling finishes to establishing herself as a top competitor in NXT. She became the champion in both the Women’s Speed division and the NXT Women’s North American division. Ruca has been very active in 2026, mainly in NXT. Despite a few losses, she managed to put herself together and defeat Lainey Reid in singles competition. She now seems to be ready for bigger things by moving from NXT to WWE.
Kevin Knight
Kevin Knight began his professional wrestling career in 2020 after training at the NJPW LA Dojo. His first match took place on the independent/NJPW LA Dojo shows. Despite the loss, he eventually gained prominence in tag team competition. His first year as part of the AEW roster became a prominent event. With wins over Darby Allin and Kazuchika Okada, he has established himself as one to watch in AEW.
Knight has the physical strength and individual charisma to gain a large army of fans globally. In 2025, he had a series of wins that weren’t as convincing as before. But the situation changed in 2026 when Knight established himself as a technical wrestler. He competed regularly in singles and tag team matches, often teaming with The DKC and other NJPW LA Dojo graduates. He gained several wins over mid-card talents, solidifying his position in NJPW Strong’s roster. Knight participated in tag team and multi-man matches representing the Bullet Club faction.
Bron Breakker
Bron Breakker started wrestling in 2019 after training at the WWE Performance Center. His debut match was against Cameron Grimes in 2020. His quick victory made an immediate impact on his future career. His athleticism and technical style led him to become a powerhouse in the NXT Championship. Many fans thought that Breakker’s initial position was meant to be in the cornerstone position. But it wasn’t the case. He is now ready for the World Title program.
In 2026, Breakker continues to be one of the most popular rising stars in WWE NXT. He appeared on RAW/SmackDown, maintaining his status as a powerhouse performer. Breakker successfully competed for the NXT Championship and appeared in SmackDown/RAW specials. He defeated Rohan Raja to retain the NXT Title and participated in special events within NXT TakeOver. The WWE heel faction is built around Breakker. This moment keeps fans both excited and suspicious. They still have questions about the new alliance of Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Paul Heyman. Breakker may fill Rollins’ spot and further expand the faction. But the situation can change at any moment, so fans just have to follow the latest news not to miss significant updates.
The WWE Women’s Intercontinental title will be defended at WrestleMania 42 with champion AJ Lee defending against former two-time champion Becky Lynch.
On Raw last night, Lynch claimed that she “murdered” the Divas era, which brought out Lee, who played a major part in the Divas division at the time.
Lee offered Lynch a rematch for the title at WrestleMania and told her that she wanted to make Lynch tap on the biggest show of the year.
Lynch said that 11 years ago, AJ handed in her resignation the day after WrestleMania and this year, she would end her at WrestleMania.
This will mark AJ Lee’s first WrestleMania match since 31 in 2015 at Levi’s Stadium where she and Paige defeated The Bella Twins.
WWE today announced that Sid Eudy, better known to fans as Sid Vicious, Sid Justice, and Psycho Sid, will be posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2026.
Eudy had a long history with WCW and WWE, forming part of The Skyscrapers with Danny Spivey, the famous Four Horsemen, the alliance with Shawn Michaels and the Million Dollar Corporation, and more.
He even headlined WrestleMania VIII with Hulk Hogan and won the WWE title as well as the WCW World Heavyweight title, each on two different occasions.
“No matter which moniker you knew him by, Sid’s intensity was palpable across the ring and through your TV screen,” wrote Paul “Triple H” Levesque on X. “A multi-time champion in @WWE and WCW, and a two-time #WrestleMania main event, it’s a pleasure to announce that he will take his rightful place in the 2026 Legacy Class of the #WWEHOF.”
Eudy died of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cancer on August 26, 2024 at the age of 63 and had hoped of being part of the WWE Hall of Fame before he passed away.
One of his sons, Frank, reacted to the Hall of Fame news by writing, “So proud to have my late father join the club! #WWEHOF love you dad!”
Sid joins Stephanie McMahon, AJ Styles, Demolition, and Dennis Rodman as this year’s class.

On this day 25 years ago, World Wrestling Federation Entertainment, Inc., announced the acquisition of World Championship Wrestling from AOL Time Warner.
Vince McMahon’s company put the final nail in the coffin for WCW and bought the name WCW, its extensive video library, and the majority of the intellectual property rights related to all their pay-per-views, television shows, and wrestling names.
“This acquisition is the perfect creative and business catalyst for our company,” said WWF CEO Linda McMahon at the time, while WWF President and Chief Operating Officer Stuart Snyder added that the acquisition was a strategic move and called it “a perfect fit.”
The original press release said that new WCW TV shows would air on TNN in the future, but none of that happened and the WCW brand was killed off after the botched invasion storyline ended.
The full story on how it happened can be read here.

Speaking on his Phenomenally Retro podcast, soon-to-be WWE Hall of Famer AJ Styles said that he plans to keep his HOF speech “short and sweet” as he thinks that is the best way to do it.
Styles said he will try and not piss everyone off by having to endure a long speech, something that everyone has experienced in the past.
“So I’m gonna try to make sure that I stay within the guidelines of that and not make people hate AJ Styles based on his Hall of Fame induction speech,” Styles joked.
He admitted that he doesn’t know exactly of what his speech will be about but there’s a lot of people he has to thank, including the fans.
“I look at me in the mirror and I know I never should have made it,” Styles continued. “So the fact that I did, that’s a testament to the kind of fans that are out there.”
Styles will join Stephanie McMahon, Demolition, and Dennis Rodman in the Hall of Fame Class of 2026.
Tickets for the show remain available via Ticketmaster.com starting at $130.30.
PWInsider.com is reporting that Bron Breakker will be at the WWE Performance Center this week to start his return to the ring.
Injured WWE Superstars typically have a stop for a few days at the PC in Orlando, Florida as they get assessed by WWE’s medical team in hopes of getting cleared for a full return.
The former WWE Intercontinental champion underwent hernia surgery in the beginning of February and has been rehabbing non-stop to maybe get cleared in time for WrestleMania. Breakker suffered the hernia when he flipped off the Raw commentary table.
There are rumors that Breakker is supposed to wrestle his former Vision leader Seth Rollins on the show but those plans are on hold pending his return.
