The WWE United States title will be on the line at WrestleMania 42 as new champion Sami Zayn will defend against former NXT champion Trick Williams.
Zayn defeated Carmelo Hayes on Smackdown last night to win the gold after Williams interfered. Williams got the U.S. title and slid it in the ring for Zayn, but with the referee busy with handing over the title back, Williams took out his former partner inadvertently as he tried to run the ropes with Zayn and Zayn ducked. Zayn pushed Williams away but took advantage of the situation and hit the Helluva Kick for the pinfall victory.
Earlier in the broadcast, Williams was booked for a Mania spot by Smackdown GM Nick Aldis and Zayn was told there was no spot for him, which led Zayn to punch Trick after he taunted him about spending WrestleMania in catering.
After the victory, Zayn sarcastically asked Aldis if he had a spot now, with Aldis replying in the affirmative against Trick Williams for the title.
Hayes’ loss to Zayn brings down his title reign after 91 days, a title reign which pretty much had an enjoyable open challenge almost every week.
The Sacrifice main event match between champion Mike Santana and challenger Steve Maclin had to be stopped after Maclin was knocked out and suffered an apparent concussion at the beginning of the match.
Maclin got super kicked coming off running the ropes and after he went down, he did not move. The referee immediately noticed something was wrong and prevented Santana from pulling Maclin up. Maclin was held up by the ref and then she made the X hand sign.
A medical team and TNA President Carlos Silva made their way to the ring to check up on Maclin, and eventually took him out of the ring as he was still very wobbly. Eddie Edwards then came out to fight Santana to take the viewers’ attention off the medical situation.
After a few minutes of brawling with Edwards, Sananta was announced as the winner of the match due to a no contest and the show went off the air way earlier than expected.
Not to overlook Arslanbek Makhmudov, but Tyson Fury will feel like he has bigger fish to fry as he prepares to return to the boxing ring next month.
With Fury vs Makhmudov odds firmly in the Gypsy King’s favour, attention is already turning to what a successful comeback could unlock.
Fury himself has made no secret of his ambitions, recently outlining his perfect 2026: beat Makhmudov, beat Anthony Joshua, then win back a world title. So, who could be next?
Fabio Wardley
The WBO heavyweight champion is a compelling domestic option. Wardley announced himself on the world stage in October 2025 when he came from behind to stop Joseph Parker in the 11th round at the O2 Arena, winning the WBO interim title in one of the year’s most dramatic heavyweight bouts.
He was subsequently elevated to full champion after Usyk relinquished the belt, and he now defends it against Daniel Dubois in May. Fury has publicly flagged the fellow Frank Warren fighter as a good option for a second fight in 2026, and the Ipswich native is keen to make it happen, too.
Daniel Dubois
Should Dubois win the WBO title by beating Wardley, he would slot straight into that conversation. Fury has mentioned Dubois by name as one of the big fights available to him, and the credentials are there.
Dubois won the IBF heavyweight title by beating Filip Hrgovic for the vacant belt, before being elevated to the full champion. He then retained it by knocking out Joshua, only to lose it back to former owner Oleksandr Usyk. A Fury vs Dubois fight would carry genuine intrigue.
Anthony Joshua
This is the fight that British boxing has craved for the best part of a decade. Fury has named Joshua as part of his ideal 2026 schedule, and promoter Warren has confirmed there is serious intent on both sides.
However, Joshua’s future is far from certain following a devastating car crash in Nigeria in December 2025, in which two of his closest friends and training team members, strength and conditioning coach Sina Ghami and trainer Latif Ayodele, were tragically killed. Joshua sustained minor injuries, but the emotional toll has cast doubt over when, or whether, he will return to the ring.
Oleksandr Usyk
The fight that Fury ultimately wants above all others is a third meeting with Usyk, the man who beat him twice in 2024. Fury and his team insist he was unfortunate to lose both decisions, and a trilogy fight would be one of the biggest events in modern heavyweight history.
Usyk currently holds three of the four major world titles and remains the undisputed king of the division. Boxing betting markets would make Usyk a strong favourite for a third bout, but Fury’s belief in his ability to reverse those verdicts appears genuine.
First, though, the Ukrainian is set to face kickboxer Rico Verhoeven at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt on May 23, where his WBC heavyweight title will be controversially on the line first.
Deontay Wilder
A fourth fight with Wilder is the wildcard option. Fury and Wilder have already met three times in a compelling rivalry, and Fury has mentioned the American’s name as one of the available big fights. With Wilder still active and still carrying the kind of knockout power that makes any fight dangerous, it would attract considerable interest, even if it feels more like nostalgia than necessity at this stage of both men’s careers.
Fury has previously suggested he has three fights left in him before another retirement. If he gets past Makhmudov cleanly, the division opens up in front of him. The question is whether age, motivation, and the right opponents align before he hangs up his gloves for good.
Josh Barnett announced that WWE Superstar Nattie will be taking on former NXT Women’s champion Shayna Baszler at the upcoming Bloodsport XV event during WrestleMania week in Las Vegas.
“Two of the most dangerous women in the world of Professional Wrestling. One forged in Bloodsport the other reborn there,” he wrote. “One standing in the ring as their home, the other looking to show that she not only belongs there, but can also rule.”
Barnett said that both Nattie and Baszler are two queens of combat but there will be only one victor.
“Bloodsport was built for matches such as these,” Barnett said.
Promoted by Game Changer Wrestling, Bloodsport XV takes place on Friday, April 17 at 3PM PT live from the Horseshoe Las Vegas. Tickets are available at Eventbrite.com.

Appearing on the Stephanie McMahon podcast What’s Your Story?, Netflix’s Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria described the WWE partnership as “incredible” and is looking forward to see how they can integrate WWE Superstars with Netflix shows and vice versa in the future.
Bajaria put over the WWE talent who went over to do some Netflix shows, naming specifically Seth Rollins and John Cena, saying they care, they’re positive, and have a fantastic work ethic with a real joy that they bring to fans and audiences.
“So, when they come to our events, they just are like, ‘We want to make everybody feel good.’ I go, ‘You’re all so good at this.’ But really, the partnership, again, just wanting to like…continue with this, having the storytelling that touches people and then surprises them and takes them on a journey is…you all do it so incredibly well,” she told McMahon.
Netflix and WWE started their 10-year, $5 billion media rights deal in January 2025. In the United States, Netflix airs Raw and all WWE programming worldwide (excluding US), including PLEs, also air on the streaming service.

While the former AEW World champion has been off television since April of last year, a filing for a new trademark application might give a glimpse of Jericho’s next gimmick.
Filed two days ago with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Jericho applied to trademark the word Cornerstone, for goods and services including shirts and apparel, entertainment services under performances by a wrestler, and even providing wrestling news via a computer network.
Jericho was last seen using The Learning Tree gimmick in AEW but has been absent for nearly a year now. There were rumors that his contract was expiring at the end of 2025 but news then came out that it was extended to reflect his time off from the company.
It remains unclear when Jericho is returning at this point.
NXT this week drew 581,000 viewers, down 7,000 viewers from the prior week. This was the second least-watched episode of NXT of 2026 so far. The show had a 0.08 rating, up 0.01 from the previous episode. (Ratings credit: Programming Insider)
Buff Bagwell made a surprise appearance on TNA Impact on AMC last night.
The WCW star was introduced by Gia Miller at the top of the stage and vowed to wrestle for TNA one more time, even with an amputated leg. Bagwell apologized for his behavior over the past two decades and promised he will walk to that ring again if the fans get behind him.
He was then rudely interrupted by former TNA champion Frankie Kazarian, who made fun of Bagwell’s walk. Kazarian told Buff that he was half the man he used to be, referring to his leg amputation.
Bagwell was saved by Elijah, who offered to eventually help Bagwell.
The former WCW Tag Team champion was part of the first-ever TNA show in 2002.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will be receiving the Disney Legends Award during a ceremony at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event on Sunday, August 16.
This is the company’s highest honor and Johnson will be celebrated along with Jerry Bruckheimer, The Jonas Brothers, Anne Hathaway, Eric Goldberg, and Alan Tudyk.
The former WWE champion has done many movies for Disney, including Moana, Jungle Cruise, and others.
His next movie, the live action adaptation of the popular Moana film, comes out on July 10.
The pre-sale for the new set of WWE Superstars appearing at WWE World at WrestleMania 42 went on pre-sale this morning and will go on sale to the general public tomorrow.
Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch, Cody Rhodes, Iyo Sky, Oba Femi, Randy Orton, Rhea Ripley, and Seth Rollins have already sold out of their allocation so they will be unavailable when tickets open up to everyone tomorrow.
Some new names were also added including Booker T, Bronson Reed, Dennis Rodman, Honky Tonk Man, Ilja Dragunov, JBL, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Mickie James, Ron Simmons, Sheamus, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Wade Barrett.
Practically the whole roster will be available for photos and meet and greets, either via paid or the free Superstar Row during the week.
TrillerTV has suspended new signups for their AEW Plus streaming service and is now redirecting users to MyAEW service.
The company has been providing AEW Plus for a long time for international fans but Triller is facing several financial problems as a company and there are rumors of a takeover from someone else.
With the writing on the wall, AEW worked to launch MyAEW, an all-inclusive WWE Network-type of service which includes live airings of Dynamite, Collision, pay-per-views, and a lot of previous episodes from the vast AEW library as well as a 24/7 FAST channel.
The AEW Plus service on Triller seems like it will continue for the time being so those who are already subscribed will not see interruption in their service, yet.
The Tony Hinchcliffe special Kill Tony during WrestleMania 42 weekend will stream on Netflix on a couple of days delay.
Announced by Variety, the show is scheduled to be uploaded on the streaming giant on Monday, April 20, two days after it takes place. The live show is on Saturday, April 18 immediately following WrestleMania Saturday and will be held at the Dolby Live at MGM Park.
His Roast of WrestleMania special last year, also in Vegas, drew some backlash after audio was leaked from the closed event. As expected in these comedy shows and roasts, some jokes were highly offensive, hence the reason it did not air anywhere.
Several WWE Superstars, Legends, and fellow comedians are expected to join Hinchcliffe during the show.
Episodes of his Kill Tony podcast are available on Netflix.
Tickets are available via Ticketmaster.com starting from $65.77.
The opioid problem in professional wrestling is not new. Wrestlers have been reaching for painkillers since the touring schedules of the 1980s made full recovery between shows nearly impossible. The names attached to opioid-related deaths and addiction stories in this industry, Eddie Guerrero, Brian Pillman, Mr. Perfect, represent a pattern that ran for decades without any real structural answer. What has changed recently is that a growing number of working wrestlers have found a practical, legal, and far less dangerous alternative: CBD. Searches for the best cbd oil uk under £40 have surged among UK athletes looking for accessible, tested options that fit both their budget and their training schedule, and wrestlers are no exception.
CBD (cannabidiol) is derived from hemp, interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, and has no psychoactive effect. It does not produce a high. It carries no addiction risk at normal doses. Since 2018, the World Anti-Doping Agency has removed CBD from its list of banned substances, meaning wrestlers in any tested promotion can use it without fear of disciplinary action. The shift away from opioids toward CBD is not a wellness trend. For the wrestlers making this switch, it is a practical decision about career longevity and basic health. You can read more about why WWE stars are using CBD and medical marijuana for pain in our earlier coverage of this topic. Nothing in this article constitutes medical or legal advice.
What Opioids Actually Did to Wrestling Locker Rooms?
The physical demands of professional wrestling are unlike almost any other athletic profession. A mid-card performer working a full WWE or independent schedule takes between 150 and 250 bumps per week, not counting training. Joint damage, spinal compression, concussions, and soft tissue injuries accumulate faster than the body can recover from them. Historically, the solution handed to wrestlers was pharmaceutical: Oxycodone, Vicodin, Percocet, Soma. They kept people in the ring. They also destroyed careers and lives.
“The pills were everywhere, back then. Somas, Vicodin, Lortab, muscle relaxers, whatever. They were floating around like candy. I just couldn’t sleep, and I had a million things going on, and so I thought… What’s the big deal?”
Sting (Steve Borden), WWE Hall of Famer, writing in The Players’ Tribune about his opioid addiction during his WCW career
Sting’s account is one of the most detailed on record, but it describes a culture that was standard for decades. By early 1998, one of the most recognisable wrestlers on the planet was, by his own admission, an addict, sober only when performing. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 29% of people prescribed opioids misuse them. Among professional athletes, where pain is constant, time off is career-threatening, and pills are within arm’s reach, that figure runs considerably higher. We have covered the broader question of whether your doctor can recommend CBD instead of opioids in a previous article on this site.
Former NFL players suffer opioid addiction at four times the rate of the general population. Wrestling operates on a similar injury model with even fewer protections: no union, no guaranteed contracts in most promotions, and a culture that historically rewarded working through pain rather than treating it properly.
Why CBD Works for the Specific Demands of Wrestling?
CBD does not eliminate pain the way opioids do. It does not sedate you, cloud your judgement, or produce the short-term intensity of a prescription painkiller. What it does do, and what makes it genuinely useful for wrestlers, is reduce the underlying inflammation that makes chronic pain so debilitating over time.
CBD interacts with CB1 and CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system. CB2 receptors are concentrated in immune tissues and play a direct role in the inflammatory response. When CBD binds to these receptors, it reduces cytokine production, the chemical messengers that drive inflammation at injury sites. The World Anti-Doping Agency’s current Prohibited List confirms CBD is not a banned substance in sport. Research published in the Journal of Pain Research found that 62% of individuals using CBD reported significant reductions in pain levels. A 2021 study in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise found measurable reductions in markers of muscle damage following CBD supplementation.
For a wrestler carrying knee damage, a chronically inflamed shoulder, or the kind of lower back degradation that comes from years of taking suplexes, the value is not acute relief. It is the sustained reduction of the inflammatory baseline that, over weeks and months, makes training and performing less physically costly.
Sleep is the other factor that often goes undiscussed. Opioids disrupt REM sleep architecture, meaning wrestlers who relied on them were often physically present in the ring while running a cumulative sleep deficit. CBD, at appropriate doses, supports sleep onset without suppressing the deep sleep cycles the body needs to actually recover from physical stress. Our guide on the best ways to avoid and treat pain as a wrestler covers this topic in more practical detail.
The Wrestlers Who Have Made the Switch
The shift is documented across multiple levels of the business. Independent wrestler Effy, speaking to Benzinga, described the cultural change in modern locker rooms in direct terms.
“What you see now is none of the real drug problems that people are probably expecting in a locker room. A lot more guys are using cannabis to sort of maintain themselves in a safer way than what we’ve been used to in wrestling.”
Effy, independent wrestling circuit, speaking to Benzinga
At the top of the card, the pattern is the same. Former WWE superstar Kalisto (Emanuel Rodriguez) found CBD helped him sleep better and recover faster from training. Mercedes Varnado, ranked sixth on WWE’s list of the 50 Greatest Women Superstars, began using CBD after a decade in the ring left her managing persistent pain and severe depression. She went on to co-found Kanndela, a CBD wellness company, alongside Rodriguez. In an interview with Cannabis and Tech Today, Varnado described the effect of CBD on her anxiety and mental state as something she noticed immediately: the edge was gone. That matters for in-ring performance as much as physical recovery does.
Fred Rosser, known to WWE audiences as Darren Young, has estimated that as much as 90% of the WWE roster uses some form of cannabis. Bret Hart publicly discussed using it for pain management during his career in the late 1990s, at a time when even acknowledging it was professionally risky. WWE reportedly removed marijuana from its wellness policy banned substances list in early 2025. CBD, already cleared by WADA since 2018, has been a legal option for tested athletes for years. The question is no longer whether wrestlers can use it. It is whether the products they choose are safe, accurately labelled, and third-party verified.
CBD vs Opioids: How They Compare for Wrestlers
The differences between these two approaches to pain management are not marginal. They operate through different mechanisms, carry different risk profiles, and produce different outcomes over a career.
Factor
Opioids
CBD
Pain Relief
Highly effective for acute pain
Effective for chronic and inflammatory pain
Addiction Risk
High. Dependency forms quickly
Low. No known physical dependency
Side Effects
Sedation, nausea, cognitive impairment
Mild: dry mouth, drowsiness in some users
Performance Impact
Impairs reaction time and cognition
No psychoactive effect on performance
WADA Status
Controlled. Requires therapeutic use exemption
Removed from banned list in 2018
Long-term Safety
Risk of overdose and tolerance buildup
No reported overdose risk at normal doses
Withdrawal
Severe and medically significant
Mild or absent
Opioids remain more effective for acute, severe pain after surgery or major trauma. For the chronic, compounding physical stress of a professional wrestling career, CBD is the more viable long-term tool. It does not replace medical care. It replaces the habit of reaching for prescription painkillers to get through the next show.
What Wrestlers in the UK Need to Know About CBD Products
In the UK, CBD is legal as a food supplement when it meets FSA novel food authorisation requirements. The legal THC limit for finished CBD products is 1mg per container. The FSA recommends no more than 10mg of CBD per day for healthy adults, though athletes working with healthcare professionals sometimes use higher doses under supervision.
The quality issue is real. A 2019 report by the Centre for Medicinal Cannabis found that over 60% of CBD products on the UK high street did not contain the amount of CBD stated on the label. For wrestlers relying on CBD as part of a genuine recovery protocol, buying an under-dosed or inaccurately labelled product delivers nothing useful.
The standard to look for is batch-specific certificates of analysis from accredited third-party laboratories, covering cannabinoid content, THC levels, pesticides, heavy metals, and microbiological safety. Any reputable supplier will provide these without being asked. If they cannot, find a supplier who can.
For tested athletes, the THC risk is the critical practical issue. WADA cleared CBD, but THC remains prohibited during competition. Always use products with confirmed THC content below 1mg per container, verified by a COA and not just stated on the label. For a broader breakdown of how CBD fits into a wrestler’s training and recovery routine, read our article on CBD and sports: why are wrestlers consuming CBD.
The Shift Is Structural, Not a Trend
The wrestlers switching from opioids to CBD are not doing so because CBD is fashionable. They are doing it because the alternative, a career built on prescription painkillers, has a documented and catastrophic endpoint that this industry has seen too many times. The science behind CBD is still developing, but the practical case is already strong: reduced inflammation, better sleep, no addiction risk, and no impairment. For a wrestler trying to stay in the business for a decade rather than burning out in five years, those outcomes are not small. They are the difference between a career and a cautionary tale.
WWE today announced that Bad News Brown will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2026.
Brown passed away in 2007 at the age of 63 and had two stints with WWE apart from wrestling for New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Stampede Wrestling.
“From standing on the podium at the 1976 Summer Olympics to the center of the ring at #WrestleMania IV, Bad News Brown was a fierce competitor with an attitude to match,” Triple H wrote on X. “For his accomplishments in combat sports and contributions to @WWE, it is a pleasure to announce his induction into the 2026 Legacy Class of the #WWEHOF.”
Brown won the judo bronze medal at the 1976 Olympic Games for the United States and transitioned to professional wrestling after that.
He had three WrestleMania appearances under his belt and won the battle royal at WrestleMania IV.
The New York Post is reporting that Murielle Misczak, director of the Kinderhaus Brooklyn school in Park Slope, embezzled school money to finance a lavish lifestyle which included spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in WWE VIP tickets.
The report states that Misczak spent $350,000 on WWE tickets and meet and greets for herself and children, boasting about it on social media. She also spent $650,000 in luxury travel and goods and wired $2.75 million in total from school to her own bank account.
The alleged fraud took place between January 2022 and October 2025 and after she was questioned about her unexplained wealth, she said the money came from her mother in Switzerland.
The school has now filed a lawsuit against her and a federal indictment charged her with wire fraud, money laundering and engaging in monetary transactions in criminally derived property.
She is looking at a lengthy prison sentence if found guilty.
House of Glory Wrestling has officially announced a match between Bandido and Amazing Red, which will serve as the main event of the HOG: Culture Clash show. The event is scheduled for Thursday, April 16, 2026, at 8:00 PM PT. The venue selected is the Pearl Theater, located at the famous Palms Casino Resort in the heart of Las Vegas, Nevada. The promotion emphasizes that this is the first-ever head-to-head meeting between the two wrestlers—one fans worldwide have been waiting years to see.
A major wrestling weekend puts HOG’s card in the spotlight
The show will take place as part of the large-scale SlamFest wrestling weekend, which every year turns Las Vegas into the industry’s unofficial capital. During these days, the city fills with promotions of every size, and the number of visiting fans is counted in the thousands. It is precisely against the backdrop of such stiff competition for fans’ attention that House of Glory has decided to play its strongest hand.
The presence of many shows under one “umbrella” week boosts the visibility of each individual event, and HOG expects that the headline match will attract not only the promotion’s regular audience, but also those who came to the city for SlamFest as a whole.
AEW luchador vs. House of Glory founder
Bandido has long established himself as one of the most spectacular luchadors of the modern era. The All Elite Wrestling star combines several seemingly contradictory traits in his arsenal:
acrobatic leaps that leave the crowd holding its breath,
impressive physical strength, rare for a high-flyer,
speed and fluidity inherited from the best traditions of Mexican lucha libre.
In Las Vegas, he will compete specifically as part of the HOG show, which gives the card an added boost in prestige.
On the other side of the ring will be Amazing Red, a man whose name is inseparable from the promotion’s history. He not only founded House of Glory, but also became one of the pioneers of the high-flying style in the United States. His lightning-fast, inventive style set the standard for an entire generation of wrestlers, many of whom today cite Red as a direct inspiration.
Las Vegas uses wrestling to attract new tourists to the city amid the growing popularity of online casinos. The reason is that people are increasingly playing online, since this kind of entertainment better matches modern interests and offers many advantages.
Online gambling platforms have many competitive advantages—from bonuses to convenient payment options. They even offer their own live dealer games that create an atmosphere of real-time interaction. We received additional information from the site’s authors about the game XXXtreme Lightning Roulette, which is available if you click here. They emphasized that live games help drive growth in the number of visitors to online casinos, the list of which is quite extensive. Las Vegas also turns to spectacles, including wrestling, to attract tourists.
A clash of generations and styles
The organizers are positioning this match as a meeting of two eras, and there’s logic to that. On the one hand, a legendary innovator who practically rewrote the rules of high-flying in the U.S. On the other, a modern-day top athlete embodying the best of what the industry has managed to absorb and refine over the past years. Their confrontation promises not just a set of spectacular tricks, but a kind of dialogue between schools and times—something you don’t see in the ring all that often.
What to expect from the night at Pearl Theater
For the House of Glory brand, this bout could become a defining moment. The promotion has long outgrown its status as a local venue; however, it is precisely a match of this caliber that can cement its position on the national stage. Fans who find themselves inside the Pearl Theater, as well as viewers watching worldwide, will have the opportunity to see one of the weekend’s central matches.
