Brock Lesnar challenges Oba Femi for Hell In A Cell at SummerSlam 2026

By

Brock Lesnar returned on Raw last night to attack Oba Femi and set up a gigantic match for SummerSlam.

While Femi seemingly postponed his title match after winning King of the Ring, his match at the premium live event will be as equally big – taking on the Beast Incarnate in a Hell In A Cell match.

Lesnar took out Femi with an F5 and Femi responded by challenging Lesnar for a match. Lesnar, with Heyman by his side, accepted on one condition, and that it would be contested inside HIAC.

In a backstage segment, Raw GM Adam Pearce confirmed with Femi that he would like to give up his title match and Femi said that the title will be there whenever he wants to take it, but for now, he wants Lesnar.

Lesnar and Femi have one win each over each other and this seems like it will be the blowoff match of the explosive feud.

The last Hell In A Cell match was held in October 2024 between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre.

Nic Nemeth is once again on the top of the mountain in TNA Wrestling, winning the TNA World title at Slammiversary yesterday.

Nemeth vs Mike Santana headlined the pay-per-view and the man formerly known as Dolph Ziggler won the title after hitting the Danger Zone for the pinfall victory.

Following the match, he and his brother Ryan celebrated in the ring and the show went to black.

This is his second reign with the TNA World title. His first one lasted 183 days, winning it from Moose also at Slammiversary in 2024. He was ultimately defeated by Joe Hendry at Genesis in January 2025.

Santana is rumored to be on the way out of TNA Wrestling and the result was not surprising. The streets are saying that Santana is on the way to WWE, although that remains to be seen.

Mercedes Mone had gear inspired by WWE Superstar Nattie last night for the final of the Owen Hart Cup tournament, rocking the pink and black in a similar outfit which Nattie had on before.

Amanda Huber, the widow of Brodie Lee, wrote on X that “greatness begets greatness” and Mone the GOAT had gear inspired by the BOAT.

Nattie reposted Huber’s X message, which also included a photo of Mone in her outfit, saying she was truly honored.

“Low-key Legend x GOAT,” Nattie wrote.

Mone will be gunning for the AEW Women’s title at the upcoming All In pay-per-view in August, hoping that the third time is the charm to finally secure the title which has evaded her so far.

Darby Allin got married to his fiancee Sara Erickson on Saturday, just 24 hours prior to Forbidden Door.

Several of his AEW colleagues, including AEW President Tony Khan, AEW World champion MJF and his wife Alicia Atout-Friedman, Brody King, Swerve Strickland, and others attended the wedding held in Seattle, Washington. Darby’s former tag team partner, Sting, along with his son Steven, were also in attendance.

As customary with Allin, things got a little bit extreme, with his mother body slamming him on the floor covered with thumbtacks and King chopping the hell out of Darby’s father.

There was no honeymoon for Allin, who along with the rest of the AEW talent at the wedding, immediately flew across the country to San Jose, California, for Forbidden Door, where he was part of the 12-man steel cage match.

Jay White returned to AEW last night at Forbidden Door following an absence of 14 months.

The former IWGP champion made his presence felt during the Cope and Cage vs The Dogs match for the AEW Tag Team titles, where he attacked David Finlay with the Blade Runner, allowing Copeland to then hit a spear for the victory.

White handed the AEW Tag Team titles to the two Canadians although it seems like it’s not all rosy between the parties.

The Kiwi star last wrestled in late March 2025, defeating Kevin Knight in an episode of Collision. He suffered a broken hand and had to undergo surgery to repair it, keeping him out of action for over a year.

NXT Great American Bash signed off with a brand new NXT Women’s champion crowned as Kendal Grey defeated Lola Vice for her first gold in NXT.

Paying tribute to Kurt Angle with her in-ring gear, Grey won after she hit her Shades of Grey finisher on Vice, ending a highly-competitive 15-minute main event match. After the match, Grey celebrated with Wren Sinclair in the ring and then with her parents in the stands.

This ended Vice’s 85-day reign as champion, having won the title at Stand and Deliver in April in a triple threat match which also included Grey.

The 25-year-old Grey becomes the 23rd different female to hold the NXT Women’s title.

Mercedes Mone and Will Ospreay win the Owen Hart Cup 2026 tournaments

The two Owen Hart Cup tournament winners were crowned last night at Forbidden Door.

First one to win the tournament was Mercedes Mone, who is now the only two-time winner of the tournament following last year’s victory as well.

Mone defeated Maya World in the final match, with Mone locking in the Statement Maker for the win.

What’s interesting is that neither of these two women were originally in the tournament! Mone now gets herself an AEW Women’s title shot at All In, a title which has eluded her ever since she came to AEW.

Later in the main event, Will Ospreay won the men’s tournament after one hell of a violent match against Swerve Strickland.

Both sporting crimson masks and pools of blood in the ring, the Brit eliminated his opponent following a Death Rider, a Paradigm Shift, and a Tiger Driver.

Ospreay now gets to main event All In in London as he takes on whoever the AEW World champion might be at that time.

Uhaa Nation, the man formerly known as Apollo Crews in WWE, made his TNA debut at Slammiversary.

The former WWE United States and Intercontinental champion was one of the two mystery opponents for Mustafa Ali’s TNA International title, with Rich Swann being the other one. Ali retained the title after he pinned Swann.

Crews was cut from WWE after WrestleMania 42 following a 12-year stint with the company.

He reverted to the Uhaa Nation name which he used prior to joining WWE.

TNA revealed the names of two more inductees joining their Hall of Fame which will take place during the Bound For Glory weekend this October.

House Democrats move to impeach Linda McMahon from Secretary of Education

By
Colin Vassallo
-

Former WWE CEO and now U.S. Secretary of Education in Donald Trump’s cabinet, Linda McMahon, is facing a move from the Democrats to be impeached.

House Democrats introduced articles for impeachment against McMahon for trying to dismantle the Department of Education “illegally and misleading,” even though it was President Trump who ordered McMahon to close the department once he appointed her after he won the election.

McMahon makes history for all the wrong reasons by becoming the first Secretary of Education facing impeachment proceedings.

The Democrats are basing their case on three points: unlawful reassignments, misleading Congress, and breach of public trust.

In a simple response on X, McMahon wrote, “To the Democrats in Congress: do better.”

McMahon was confirmed Secretary of Education in April 2025. She had previously served as the Administrator of the Small Business Administration under Trump’s first cabinet.

Piper Niven criticizes Jade Cargill on X

By

It seems that there is some bad blood between the injured Piper Niven and Jade Cargill after Niven sarcastically applauded Cargill on X for using the Black Hole Slam on Tiffany Stratton last night.

On X, Cargill reposted a video of the move from a fan and wrote, “Damn this was beautiful.” But Niven had none of it and gave her a “5/10” and described it as “a bit sloppy.”

Addressing Cargill, Niven said that she did not transfer Tiffany’s weight on her chest, so she never really had her and that’s why she slipped out.

“You got that double bump effect and her head verberated on the mat,” Niven wrote. “But you looked great, and who cares who you hurt so long as you’re alright, right?”

Niven is currently out injured and has not wrestled since August 2025. She has undergoing neck surgery since then and her wrestling career could very well be over.

Cargill and Niven only had one one-on-one match that dates back to May 2024 in the Queen of the Ring tournament first round where Cargill won.

Kevin Owens, who has been out of action since prior to WrestleMania 41, reacted to his best friend Sami Zayn winning the WWE title at Night of Champions.

Owens credited Zayn for bringing out the best in him both as an ally and a foe because Zayn is “THE best” and when you’re consistently that good for that long, you become undeniable.

He added that Sami become the WWE champion was inevitable.

“He has deserved that moment for a very long time and I am so happy to see him finally get it,” Owens wrote.

The two main evented WrestleMania together, teaming up to end The Usos’ historic title reign in the first WrestleMania tag team main event since the first one ever.
