WWE today announced that Money In The Bank will be moving dates again and will now take place on Saturday, October 10 instead of the Sunday, September 6 date. The show was originally announced for Saturday, August 29, so this is the second time the show has moved.
The show will still emanate from the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Tickets will go on sale starting Friday, July 10 at 10AM ET via Ticketmaster.com. Fans can purchase tickets during an exclusive pre-sale starting Thursday, July 9 at 10AM ET. Fans can register for the Thursday, July 9 general pre-sale by visiting https://www.wwe.com/mitb-2026.
Money In The Bank was awarded to New Orleans after WWE took WrestleMania 42 away from the city after it was announced to be taking place from the Caesars Superdome.
It has been exactly 50 days since Liv Morgan has won the WWE Women’s World title from Stephanie Vaquer at WrestleMania 42 and so far, it’s been smooth sailing for Morgan as her title win has come with zero title defenses since winning it.
The injury to Stephanie Vaquer complicated things a little bit creative-wise but one of the most popular WWE females on the roster is rarely being used, and now finds herself in the Queen of the Ring tournament where the winner will get a title shot at SummerSlam.
Morgan has explained that she wants it “all” and is now gunning for the other WWE Women’s title, currently held by Rhea Ripley, if she wins the tournament.
Morgan’s latest title reign is kinda following Jade Cargill’s title reign with the WWE Women’s title last year, where she spent over 100 days with the title before she even had her first title defense. Cargill only had two title defenses on television since she won it on Smackdown in November 2025, a win against Jordynne Grace and a loss to Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 42 Sunday.
Six women have announced their intentions to have qualifying matches to enter the Survival of the Fittest match for the vacant AEW TBS title.
On Collision last night, Harley Cameron, Hikaru Shida, Kris Statlander, Mina Shirakawa, Queen Aminata, and Zayda Steele all expressed interest in the title and each will have to overcome one obstacle to make it to the match.
The TBS title was vacated by the injured Willow Nightingale and a new champion will be crowned on the July 1 episode of Dynamite live from San Diego, California.
Mercedes Mone learned her Owen Hart Cup tournament semi final opponent last night on Collision and even made her presence felt during the show.
Japanese star Hazuki defeated CMLL’s Persephone to advance in the tournament and will now take on the former TBS champion, who returned earlier this week as the wildcard entry in the tournament.
Following the match, Mone appeared and took out Persephone, attacking her with the tournament title and then putting her in the Statement Maker. Hazuki came back to save Persephone and Mone also attacked her and security and AEW officials had to come to break the fight.
Mone is the favorite to win the tournament for the second year in a row.

After threatening to file a lawsuit for the injustice that happened at Clash in Italy, Gunther will get a rematch for the WWE title in two weeks on the June 19 episode of Smackdown in Kanas City.
The match will have a stipulation attached to it, a stipulation which Gunther will be revealing on next week’s episode of Smackdown. The date of the match was chosen by Rhodes, who said he wants to do it as soon as possible.
Gunther lost the title match against Rhodes in Turin despite having his feet under the bottom rope for the first two-count and then Rhodes made sure it was not there for the three. By rule, the count should have stopped at the beginning since Gunther’s feet were under the ropes.
TKO board member Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will not be attending the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House after he reportedly turned down the invitation from UFC President Dana White.
White invited several celebrities to be part of the event where they would be sitting on the South Lawn to watch the special card. Among those invited include Adam Sandler, Guy Ritchie, Tom Brady, Jared Leto, Jason Statham, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Mario Lopez.
Someone close to Johnson told Vanity Fair that the former WWE champion will not be attending the event, and several others who were invited also turned it down.
UFC Freedom 250 is a huge event for the UFC and TKO, with the company expected to take a $30 million hit once it’s all said and done. The event is set to cost $60 million, with TKO hoping to recover at least half of it through sponsorships and other donations.
President Trump has been given 1,000 tickets to hand out while White and TKO chief Ari Emanuel have 200 each.
UFC Freedom 250 takes place on June 14, 2026 and airs on Paramount+, with a limited number of preliminary bouts also broadcast on CBS.
Bloomberg Law is reporting that the upcoming WWE shareholders lawsuit has been taken off the schedule. It was set to start on Monday, June 8.
An attorney for the shareholders, Greg Varallo of Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP, said late Friday afternoon that the trial was no longer on the Delaware Chancery Court’s calendar and declined to elaborate when asked for a reason.
Vince McMahon, Nick Khan, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, Stephanie McMahon, Ari Emanuel, and others were all scheduled to testify in the case.
The lawsuit was seeking hundreds of millions in dollars in damages after shareholders accused WWE of discarding other potential bidders in favor of a deal with Endeavor which led to the creation of TKO.
The suit claims that McMahon only chose Endeavor and his friend Ari Emanuel because he knew that he could keep control over WWE after he sold, something that wasn’t the case with other bidders.
It could be that TKO found an out-of-court settlement with shareholders just days before the trial.
Chad Gable made his first WWE appearance under his name in a very long time last night on Smackdown in Bologna, Italy.
Gable was shown having a meeting with Smackdown General Manager Nick Aldis and later apologized to Rey Fenix for the stuff he did as El Grande Americano, saying that he only donned the mask to poke fun at people like him because luchadores were giving him a hard time in the ring.
He said that at WrestleMania last year, the two had a great match but he did it under false pretense.
He added that the longer he wore the mask and spent time in Mexico, it dawned on him that this was no longer a joke but a sense of responsibility to the culture, to the art form, and to the people of Mexico.
Gable asked for forgiveness, and Fenix forgave him, but told Gable that he was not the only one that he needed to apologize to.
The Clearwater Police Department in Florida has closed the investigation into the death of Hulk Hogan and released its 72-page report yesterday.
“Following an exhaustive review of the statements, medical records, surveillance footage from within the residence, and a visual inspection of Mr. Bollea’s body, there has been no evidence to indicate the death of Terry Bollea was anything other than natural,” the report states.
“Through the course of the investigation, there has been no evidence to indicate any criminal wrongdoing related to his death. This case will be closed, and will be considered solved, non-criminal,” it concluded.
The police department also released police bodycam footage that included an interview with occupational therapist Justin McCamey, a person who was at the scene when Hogan died.
According to the report, the WWE Hall of Famer passed away “exclusively from compelling natural disease, with no reasonable traumatic or terminal toxicologic contributions. As such, the manner of death is also natural.”
Hogan died on July 24, 2025 in his home in Clearwater, Florida and was pronounced dead at Morgan Plant Hospital at 11:17AM after attempts to resuscitate him were not successful.

LA Knight sat down with Chris Van Vliet in Stamford, Connecticut to discuss winning the United States Championship, brawling with AJ Styles at the WrestleMania 40 media day, what if he joined WWE 10 years ago, how he became the Slim Jim guy, how much longer he intends to wrestle, possible retirement, eliminating Brock Lesnar from the Royal Rumble, and more!
I was at the press day when you and AJ Styles were fighting. You were next to each other:
“I walked into the room and I’m shooting him looks, and he might have said some stuff. He’s doing his interview, I was talking to somebody else. So, whoever I was talking to, while I was doing that, AJ is over here behind me. I’d given looks, and he’d referenced me, and I’d looked over there. But at some point AJ tossed a stool in my direction, and at that point all I’m thinking is, again, the depth of the story we had told up to now. I’m like, there’s no way I wouldn’t react if he throws his stool at me. What am I going to do? I’m going to fight him. So I go over and just start fighting him, and I’m thinking surely security is going to come and break this up real quick, and it just went on and on. We’re down there work-shooting, and he’s knocking me away, because we got to make it look good now, because we’re like in the people. I’m like, where the f*ck is security? What is taking so long? Then finally, because we’re both blown up at this point. But yeah, it was just literally going off the cuff. How do I not serve the story that we’ve told this whole time, even to where he’s serving it now, just by throwing the stool. Obviously, I’m sure he wasn’t intending to get to where it got to, but in my head, I’m like, I have gone to his house to fight him. He throws a stool at me from five feet away. What am I going to do? Just shrug it off? No! So I went over there, thinking security is going to take care of it. They didn’t. I mean they did finally, but yeah, it took a minute, and so I hit that, he slammed the sh*t out of me, and he ended up with a bloody nose. After that we both got a phone call, though, ‘What are you guys doing? You can’t do that.’ It was like, hey, I’m trying to keep it alive, I’m trying.”
It works so well for the story:
“That was the thing, and I think he felt the same way. We weren’t getting like marquee attention for this match or anything going into it, so it was like, how can we up this and try and get more attention on this instead? That wasn’t pre-thought, but I’m saying, even with the things of what if I go to his house and we’re gonna get arrested, all that kind of stuff. So yeah, it was just trying to try to ramp that thing up as much as possible, and that was just a happy accident that I think, because then they ended up using it and putting it on TV anyway.”
It must have been so frustrating when people just kept bringing up that number. Your age?
“Yeah, I get it, though, because I think a lot of guys who are my age, and even a lot of guys who are younger than me, they’re in rough, rough shape. I’ve taken care of myself very well. I think I worked in a very safe manner, to where again it hasn’t led me to have [injuries]. I’ve broken my nose once, I’ve had a few concussions and stuff, but I’ve never had anything ever, never ever. I’m super reliable, I’ve never been on the shelf for any kind of real legitimate injury. My hope is to get out at some point, eventually, and not have any of those things on me. I’ve got neck and back pain, everybody has.”
Do you think about how much longer you want to do this?
“All the time. I’m looking at the clock all the time. The funny thing is, physically I could do this for a long time. I’m really good physically. Mentally, I’m just like, I’m gonna snuggle puppies.”
Would you like to wrestle into your fifties?
“No! f*ck no. Would I like to be able to come in and maybe do an occasional appearance? Yeah, sure, maybe. But I don’t think I’ve been built up to the point where I can do like an Undertaker-type thing or an Austin thing or something like that. So I don’t think that’s in my future either. So it’s pretty much gonna be at some point when I decide to call it, I’m gonna disappear in the sunset, and you’ll just never see me again. I’m not even joking, I’m being dead ass serious. If they decide at some point they get crazy enough to go, we’re gonna put him in the Hall of Fame, sure, I’ll come back do that. But I got a feeling that probably ain’t gonna happen either. But maybe that’s my own feeling of just like never being… No matter where I’ve gone, I’ve always felt underappreciated in the wrestling business, but I don’t know.”
You threw Brock Lesnar out of the Royal Rumble.
“I did. I’ll tell that story someday, but it feels too new and fresh to me. But I’ll just say things went differently than they were supposed to.”
PRODUCE Wrestling, the new wrestling and live entertainment company founded by creative director, curator, and independent wrestling entrepreneur Adam Abdalla, today announces a pay-per-view distribution partnership with MyAEW, the global streaming platform powered by Kiswe and All Elite Wrestling.
Beginning with PRODUCE’s debut event, Volume 1 – The Octopus at Pioneer Works on June 29th at 8PM, featuring a live musical performance from New York City grindhouse auteur Abel Ferrara, fans worldwide will be able to purchase and stream all upcoming PRODUCE events live via MyAEW.com and on the MyAEW app.
The partnership marks a significant milestone for independent wrestling, bringing PRODUCE’s talent-first, curator-driven model to a global audience through one of the sport’s most expansive digital platforms.
Each individual supercard will be available for $14.95 or fans can purchase all six for a $50 season pass.
“We’re honored to bring PRODUCE PPVs to MyAEW. Like Tony Khan, we believe in the artistic spirit of professional wrestlers. I couldn’t think of a better partner to share our unique vision for the sport with the best fans in the world,” said Adam Abdalla, Founder & Creative Director of PRODUCE.
In a first for professional wrestling, each edition of PRODUCE is co-produced by an active professional wrestler, who co-headlines and helps shape the undercard – integrating original music, art, and film alongside world-class in-ring competition.
The MyAEW platform, launched earlier this year in partnership with Kiswe, delivers live and on-demand access to wrestling events globally, with flexible regional pricing and a growing international subscriber base. Future PRODUCE events — including editions co-produced by Lee Moriarty and Rocky Romero – will continue to be distributed through the platform as part of a broader streaming strategy.
Smackdown will once again be airing live for international fans early today on Netflix, starting at 8PM Central European Time as the show takes place from the Unipol Arena in Bologna, Italy.
In the United States, Smackdown airs in its regular time slot of 8PM ET on USA Network so it will not be live, but rather on tape delay.
Three matches have been announced so far:
Bayley vs Raquel Rodriguez vs Jacy Jayne vs Kiana James in a Queen of the Ring tournament match
Damian Priest vs Trick Williams vs Bron Breakker vs Dominik in a King of the Ring tournament match
Carmelo Hayes vs Ricky Saints
Plus, we find out what’s next for Rhea Ripley after defeating Jade Cargill last week in a WrestleMania rematch and Cody Rhodes will address the fans after his controversial win over Gunther.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful is reporting through his Select service that The Butcher and The Blade are no longer part of AEW after their contracts were due and were not offered an option to remain with the company.
The duo have been part of AEW since late 2019 but have rarely been used over the last two years, with The Blade out injured and requiring fusion back surgery and The Butcher not really setting the singles division on fire.
The Blade last wrestled in AEW in January 2024 while The Butcher last competed in February 2025. Since then, the tag team returned to action in March of this year for Limitless Wrestling.
Despite spending several years with the promotion, The Butcher and The Blade never won the AEW Tag Team titles.
Juventus and WWE today announced a new strategic partnership designed to develop original experiences, content and activations that bring together football, sport, entertainment and global fan culture.

As part of the ongoing partnership, Juventus and WWE will explore a wide range of opportunities, from co- branded merchandise and cross-promotional activations to crossover content, cross-promotional partner activations, creator-led storytelling and the integration of WWE and Juventus talent into key cultural moments.
The collaboration will also extend to fan experiences, events and international activations, alongside campaigns designed to reach new audiences. At its core, the partnership establishes a long-term vision focused on building recurring cultural moments that connect football, entertainment and the next generation of fans.
