Daria Rae, the artist formerly known as Sonya Deville in WWE, told the Busted Open Radio hosts that she only signed a six-month contract with TNA.
Rae made her debut with the company on the debut episode of Impact on AMC, taking the role of the on-screen Director of Operations.
Asked if she plans on making it longer, she replied, “As long as it’s a continuously mutually beneficial situation, meaning I’m adding value, and I feel good about what I’m getting in return, then I don’t see why it wouldn’t continue long term.”
The 32-year-old spent 10 years working for WWE, both as a wrestler and as authority figure. Her contract was not renewed in February of last year.
John Pollock from POST Wrestling is reporting that Smackdown is moving to SyFy for two weeks in February due to USA Network’s coverage of the Winter Olympics.
Both the February 13 and February 20 episodes will air on SyFy, keeping their regular 8PM ET start time and still going for three hours. The show will return to USA Network on February 27 on the eve of the Elimination Chamber premium live event.
The Winter Olympics, from Lombardy and Northeast Italy, will broadcast between February 6 and February 22, with coverage on NBC, USA Network, and other sister properties.
The Rascalz in AEW quickly went from four to three as Trey Miguel announced that he is taking a break from professional wrestling and was released from his AEW contract days after he signed it.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful reports that both sides are still on good terms and this was something that Miguel wanted for now. The other members of the group, who made their on-screen AEW debut during Collision in a backstage segment, are still there.
“Taking a break from wrestling. Please respect my space and don’t tag me in any posts or comments,” Miguel wrote on social media. “Go support the Rascalz still.”
In today’s highly regulated online industries, reputation is more than just a measure of public perception—it is a crucial asset that can determine the success or failure of a business. Companies operating in sectors like online gaming, fintech, or digital healthcare face constant scrutiny from regulators, partners, and consumers alike. A strong reputation signals trustworthiness and compliance, while a tarnished one can result in legal challenges, loss of customers, and even financial penalties. For businesses seeking long-term growth, investing in reputation management is not optional—it’s essential.
Building Trust Through Compliance
Compliance with local and international regulations is the foundation of a solid reputation in regulated industries. Consumers and partners need assurance that a company operates transparently and ethically. Adhering to rules, such as licensing requirements, anti-money laundering protocols, and data protection standards, creates confidence and credibility. For example, platforms that maintain clear licensing documentation and follow responsible operational practices are more likely to attract loyal customers. Businesses can even streamline their compliance efforts with professional support, which includes guidance on obtaining proper licenses, like a https://legalpilot.com/gambling-licenses/nevis/, ensuring both legal security and public trust.
Key Elements of Reputation Management
Reputation management in regulated sectors involves several interconnected strategies:
Transparent Communication: Clear and honest communication with clients, regulators, and stakeholders builds trust.
Customer-Centric Practices: Prioritizing user safety, fair terms, and responsive support enhances credibility.
Proactive Compliance: Regular audits, risk assessments, and timely updates to policies demonstrate diligence.
Ethical Marketing: Avoiding misleading claims or exaggerated promises strengthens reliability.
These measures not only reduce the likelihood of legal issues but also position companies as responsible market players.
Risks of Neglecting Reputation
Failing to maintain a positive reputation can have serious consequences:
Regulatory Penalties: Violations of licensing or operational standards can lead to fines or license revocations.
Loss of Customer Trust: Users quickly abandon platforms perceived as dishonest or unsafe.
Negative Media Exposure: Bad press can amplify issues and damage brand credibility.
Reduced Partnerships: Other businesses may be reluctant to collaborate with companies of questionable reputation.
Even minor lapses in operational ethics or compliance can escalate, making reputation a critical defensive and strategic asset.
Strengthening Your Position in the Market
For regulated online industries, reputation is both a shield and a lever for growth. Companies that prioritize transparency, adhere to regulations, and actively manage their public image often enjoy increased customer loyalty, smoother regulatory relationships, and stronger market positioning. By implementing a structured approach to reputation management—combining compliance, communication, and ethical business practices—organizations can not only survive but thrive in competitive, highly regulated environments. Ultimately, a strong reputation is not just a reflection of current practices; it’s an investment in sustainable success.
For the last time in this European tour, Raw starts early on Netflix around the world, with a kickoff time of 3PM ET / 12PM PT in the United States, and 8PM GMT local time or 9PM CET for those in Central Europe.
The show will take place from the sold out SSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and it’s the second to last show in Europe for this round.
Headlining the broadcast is a WWE World Heavyweight title match between champion CM Punk and his challenger, Finn Balor of The Judgment Day.
Also on the broadcast, Becky Lynch defends the WWE Women’s Intercontinental title against Maxxine Dupri, Je’Von Evans battles El Grande Americano, and a six-man tag team match with Rey Mysterio, Penta, and Dragon Lee vs. Bronson Reed, Austin Theory, and Logan Paul.
In a video which aired on the AAA premiere on FOX this past Saturday, current AAA Mega champion Dominik Mysterio was shown talking about winning the AAA title in Las Vegas and his history with AAA.
The video kept jumping, from Mysterio talking in a car, to illustrations of what happened, and freezing the video exactly at 52:33 on the WWE YouTube feed, you can see the title around his waist morphing to one with an AEW logo.
Clearly done with the help of AI, the mistake went unnoticed, mainly because you have to freeze-frame it to catch it, and aired on FOX as part of the program.
The center place of the title kept switching to different shapes in the illustration video, at one point even showing a lion.
Former WWE ID talent Zayda Steel is now All Elite.
AEW President Tony Khan announced on social media that the 22-year-old Virginia native has signed a contract with AEW.
“She put up a great fight in her AEW debut match on #AEWCollision tonight, and now it’s official: @ZaydaSteel is All Elite,” he wrote along with the usual All Elite graphic.
Steel signed a WWE ID contract in 2024 and was a regular on the EVOLVE shows. She announced in October of last year that she would not be re-signing her WWE ID contract and lost her final match against Thea Hail.
Steel appeared a couple of times on ROH in December before making her AEW in-ring debut on the Maximum Carnage Collision, losing to Marina Shafir.
The Opps lost their AEW Trios titles yesterday on the Maximum Carnage themed episode of Collision, marking the end of Powerhouse Hobbs in the company.
The match, against JetSpeed and “Hangman” Adam Page, headlined the broadcast and ended when Kevin Knight pinned the departing Hobbs for the title change.
Hobbs’ contract with AEW expired on January 15 and he opted not to sign a new one, with WWE his next destination. Unlike others who made it clear they are leaving when their contract expired and were taken off television for a while, Hobbs remained featured until the very last day, with the match even airing after his deal expired.
His profile has been swiftly removed from the AEW roster page following the broadcast.
Santos Escobar has returned on television after disappearing for six months, but this time, he was on AAA’s premiere episode on FOX.
Escobar interrupted El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr., who issued a challenge in the ring. Wearing his old El Hijo del Fantasma Jr. mask, he told something to Wagner in his ear and then clocked him.
He got the AAA Latin American title on his shoulder and unmasked himself, declaring his name as Santos Escobar before dropping the title again.
It’s been a long road back for Escobar, who famously left the WWE when his contract expired and then re-signed a few days later for a larger contract. He last wrestled in July 2025 at a non-televised live event in Mexico, with his last televised appearance coming at the WWExAAA Worlds Collide: Los Angeles in June.
Here are the results from last night’s TNA Genesis 2026 pay-per-view which took place live from the Curtis Culwell Center in Dallas, Texas.

AAA Lucha Libre will be making its debut on FOX Mexico tonight with a live broadcast starting at 9PM ET.
Several WWE stars will be in attendance for this event and the broadcast will be kicking off with Hall of Famer and lucha libre legend himself Rey Mysterio.

If you are not in Latin America and cannot get FOX, the show will also stream on WWE’s YouTube for international fans.

MJF defended his AEW World title at an indie show last night promoted by Limitless Wrestling.
But while the result of the match came to no surprise, what happened after the match made the bigger headlines.
Following MJF’s match against Alec Price, the champion then got the mic and cut a small promo, saying that his boss called him and asked him to put Price to test and see if he deserves to be Elite. And he also said to watch out for Price’s partner, Jordan Oliver, to see if he has what it takes to be Elite as well.
“Boys, are you ready to be part of AEW or f*cking what,” MJF asked the duo as fans erupted.
MJF then shook hands and hugged both of them, in a rare sign of, well, weakness, something that he immediately addressed afterward in typical MJF fashion.
“Let me make something clear to both of you. Do not mistake my kindness for weakness. If you want my championship ever again, I will kill you where you stand,” MJF warned them.
The Maximum Carnage themed episode of Dynamite drew 526,000 viewers, up 10,000 viewers from the prior week and their best audience since November 26, 2025. The show had a 0.08 rating in 18-49, the same number it had last week. (Ratings credit: Dave Meltzer / Wrestling Observer)
WWE will be returning to London in June for a live episode of Monday Night Raw on Netflix.
The company yesterday announced during Smackdown that Raw will be coming to the O2 Arena on June 22. This show will be part of another European tour, details of which have not been announced yet.
The show comes two months before AEW takes over London again with All Out at Wembley Stadium.
Two matches were announced for next week’s Saturday Night’s Main Event from Montreal which will take place just a week prior to the 2026 Royal Rumble premium live event.
The Cody Rhodes and Jacob Fatu rivalry which was put on hold due to Fatu’s injury months ago will continue with their first match against each other on WWE television. The two had a pull-apart brawl on Smackdown last night after Rhodes said he had the biggest receipt for Fatu coming his way for costing him the WWE title against Drew McIntyre.
Also, the fatal four-way match to determine the number one contender for the WWE title got its participants after four qualifying matches took place on Smackdown.
Randy Orton defeated The Miz, Trick Williams defeated Matt Cardona, Damian Priest defeated Solo Sikoa, and Sami Zayn defeated Ilja Dragunov in these matches, with all four men advancing to Montreal.
The winner will take on Drew McIntyre at the Royal Rumble.
Cody Rhodes became the first person to declare for this year’s Royal Rumble with the show just two weeks away.
Rhodes, who already won two editions of the Rumble in 2023 and 2024, will have a chance to go for the third one after he lost his WWE title to Drew McIntyre last week in a Three Stages of Hell match.
If Rhodes does end up winning the match, he would join Stone Cold Steve Austin as the only other person in WWE history to win the Rumble on three separate occasions. Austin won the 1997, 1998, and 2001 editions.
None of the women have declared for the Rumble so far.

TNA announced the dates and locations for two of their upcoming TNA+ streaming events, No Surrender and Sacrifice.
No Surrender takes place on Friday, February 13 from The Pinnacle in Nashville, Tennessee. This is the same location where AEW held their Thanksgiving Eve episode of Dynamite and where NXT will have a live event later this month.
Sacrifice will be held on Friday, March 27 live from the Alario Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. It’s a location that is familiar with TNA as several televised events were held there in 2022 and 2024.
TNA will also hold a set of television tapings the following night on both occasions from the same venues.
While the 2026 Royal Rumble is officially sold out, WeBook.com has now started the option for fans to resell their tickets, just two weeks prior to the show.
As you can probably take a guess, ticket prices are much higher than their face value, with tickets going all the way up to $2,800 for ringside.
The Rumble had some of the cheapest prices ever for a TKO-led WWE premium live event, with general admission at $21.33, Premium at $133.33, Platinum at $186.67, Diamond at $240, VIP at $320, and VVIP at $400.
Tickets for the Smackdown on the eve of the Rumble are also available for resale as well.
