The second AEW Grand Slam Australia took place on February 14, 2026, at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, featuring several huge matches. And while not the main event, one of the most eagerly anticipated bouts was the tag-team match with a hair vs. hair stipulation, which saw Orange Cassidy and "Timeless" Toni Storm defeat Wheeler Yuta and Marina Shafir. And while this won't air until Saturday night, photos and videos of Yuta, who took the fall, have been shared on social media by fans in attendance, showing the top of his head shaved bald, which some have likened to Hulk Hogan's hairstyle.

Shazza McKenzie has shared the news on X.com that she has received her green card, making her an official permanent resident of the U.S. What this means for her long-term future in the wrestling business remains to be seen, though, to mark the occasion, she has made her OnlyFans subscriptions free. And to really hit home with her new citizenship, she included a photo showcasing her curves in a stars-and-stripes bikini top to embody her patriotic flair.

John Laurinaitis, who was previously WWE’s Executive Vice President of Talent Relations, has announced on social media that he will be making his first public appearance since being named in Janel Grant’s 2024 lawsuit. Laurinaitis had previously been booked for a similar appearance two years ago, but it was cancelled within hours due to fan backlash. However, it appears those putting on next month’s Big Time Wrestling’s March Mayhem event in Chillicothe, Ohio, are unconcerned about negative publicity.

Former TNA Champion Moose has seen his upcoming scheduled appearance at APC Catch's wrestling event in France on March 22, 2026, canceled.

Independent wrestler Valentina Rossi, also known as Mafiosa, has announced on social media that she has been invited to an official WWE tryout. In an emotional tweet, the athlete expressed profound gratitude and excitement, reflecting on her journey back from a serious ACL tear that set her "back at zero."

Eli Roth and Damien Leone return on Friday the 13th for a killer episode breaking down their all-time favorite kills from the Friday the 13th film franchise, including the shocking arrow-through-the-neck debut of Kevin Bacon in the OG Friday the 13th to the savage sleeping bag smash in Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood.

Back in 2024, Spin Magazine reposted a TikTok video from a Nickelback fan who ran into an inebriated Chad Kroger at an undisclosed casino. The fan films and ask Kroeger to sing for her “one more time.”  An annoyed Kroeger replied: “Would you shut the f*ck up?” The persistent fan again posed the question, and Kroeger asked her what song she wanted to hear.

Former longtime Megadeth bassist David Ellefson was fired from the band in 2021 following an explicit video text exchange with a fan that was leaked to social media. Ellefson was accused of grooming underage girls, though the woman clarified quickly that the relationship was consensual and that she was of legal age at the time of the interactions. Still, Megadeth leader Dave Mustaine saw it as a bridge too far and fired him.

Drummer Josh Freese had the unenviable task of replacing the late, great Taylor Hawkins in the Foo Fighters, but the veteran beat-keeper did the job commendably for two years. Freese was let go without warning in May of 2025 and has largely stayed silent on the subject. In a new interview with Modern Drummer, however, Freese went into a little more detail on his exit while also being careful not to ruffle any feathers with his former employers.

During a recent appearance on the “Legends N Leaders” podcast, KISS icon Gene Simmons discussed the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and questioned why rap artists have been inducted when several notable rock bands have yet to be honored by the institution.  "The fact that, for instance, Iron Maiden is not in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, when they can sell out stadiums, and Grandmaster Flash is,"

On Thursday morning, Dave Meltzer claimed on Wrestling Observer Radio that Brody King did not appear live on Dynamite due to his anti-ICE views, with WBD concerned about a potential repeat of last week's loud chant "F*ck ICE" on air. However, WBD has now told several wrestling journalists via a statement that it denies this outright. Further, PWInsider.com…

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Warner Bros. Discovery management prevented Brody King from appearing on this week's episode of Dynamite to avoid potential anti-ICE chants. For those unaware, the chant commenced during last week's episode due to King's well-known political stance on the subject and big-selling "Abolish ICE" t-shirt. And while this garnered AEW significant mainstream media attention, it appears WBD didn't see this as a positive.

In brand-new trademark news, WWE has filed a trademark for "Birthright," covering entertainment services related to wrestling exhibitions and performances.

While many fans believe that anyone who has had any level of success in WWE is set up for life, this is far from the case, and many wrestlers go on to hold regular jobs.

WWE’s Chelsea Green has announced on social media that she has suffered a broken ankle during her Elimination Chamber qualifying match on the February 6, 2026, episode of SmackDown. Initially, it was thought to be a severe sprain after Green posted images of her badly bruised ankle on X.com, but it is unfortunately far worse. Healing times for a broken ankle vary, and how long she is sidelined from the ring will likely be determined by whether she requires surgery or not.

During a recent interview with AEW Unrestricted, Luther, who adds to "Timeless" Toni Storm's character the way Paul Bearer did with The Undertaker, has discussed what makes her so special. In this, he explains that while many performers excel with their gimmicks, they revert to normalcy during matches. In contrast, Storm fully embodies her character at all times, making her gimmick immersive.

TNA Hall of Famer Mickie James has set social media ablaze by uploading a tantalizing video on Instagram, where she showcases herself in a crisp white shirt unbuttoned just enough to highlight her curves.

Austrian-born AEW star Thekla breaks down her wild, unconventional path to All Elite Wrestling – from underground training in Vienna cellars with no ring or ropes, to surviving five years in Japan’s brutal wrestling system.

Samoa Joe is currently off AEW television, with the company only publicly disclosing that he is dealing with a "non-contact injury." And while some suspected this was a cover so he could work on other projects, Fightful Select has reported he is genuinely hurt and currently in concussion protocol. Unfortunately, Joe has had a history of concussions from his time in WWE, and therefore, it's unlikely there is a set timeline for his return at present.

Decades after passing from what Seattle-area medical examiners determined was a self-inflicted firearm blast, a team of forensic scientists are again questioning the death of iconic rocker Kurt Cobain. The Daily Mail reports that after re-examining crime scene evidence and autopsy findings, specialist Brian Burnett said: “This is a homicide. We've got to do something about this.” Independent researcher Michell Wilkins added: …

Jericho was asked by host Jon Mahon to share stories of crossing paths with the legendary Ozzy Osbourne and his wife/manager Sharon.  Jericho first told the story of Ozzy being a guest GM on WWE "RAW," and how Ozzy refused then-CEO Vince McMahon’s suggestion to call him a “wanker”.

Global rap star Bad Bunny was the featured artist at last weekend’s Super Bowl halftime show, and as always the performance drew a ton of reaction via social media. Critics of Bad Bunny and the NFL complained that the show was sung in Spanish despite the rapper’s obvious message of togetherness that translated throughout his performance.  Turning Point USA offered up an alternative halftime show headlined by Kid Rock which also featured appearances by country artists Lee Brice, Brantley Gilbert and Gabby Barrett.

Tiffany Stratton and NXT signee Shady Elnahas recently began dating, and now, in a bold romantic gesture, the former WWE Women's Champion has revealed on TikTok that he has gotten a tattoo of her eye on his forearm. However, while some fans love the inking, some in the comments have questioned the impulsive gesture, given their short relationship, joking that it might even jinx the couple.

Zilla Fatu recently went off on GCW and its owner, Brett Lauderdale, during a YouTube livestream, after a fan mentioned having met him at one of their past shows. The son of the late WWE star Umaga would say, “Man, f*ck GCW, man. Weird ass owner, man,” suggesting he didn’t enjoy his time working for the promotion. And now Lauderdale has addressed these comments on…
