In the letter written to CEO Tony Khan, Storm lists her enemies as :

Nick Aldis Commends Jade Cargill For Picking SmackDown: “She Made The Right Decision”

General Manager Nick Aldis is elated about his newest acquisition to the SmackDown roster – Jade Cargill. Cargill will make her official first appearance as a SmackDown member on the Match 29 edition.

In a recent interview on the Gabby AF podcast, Aldis would celebrate Cargill’s decision and say she has been itching to get started.

He stated:

“Well, all I can say is that Jade has been absolutely itching to get started on the main roster. Obviously, I’m very glad she’s hung her hat on the blue brand with SmackDown. I’m not surprised, but certainly pleased that she made the right decision. The other part I would mention, and certainly I can’t make any predictions, but I know there are quite a few ladies on our roster who might have some choice words for Jade because they feel like she’s been getting a lot of attention and they realize that sometimes, the best way to welcome someone to the bigs to show them what’s in store for them in the bigs. I’m sure Jade has plenty to say. I’m sure the WWE universe, ever since the Royal Rumble especially, have been waiting to embrace Jade as part of WWE and I think the best has yet to come with Mrs. Cargill.” (Fightful)

Cargill signed with WWE in September. She has made multiple appearances on all three brands and made an impressive debut in the Royal Rumble match.

Megan Bayne Challenges Maika; Camron Branae (Amari Miller) On Upcoming STARDOM Card

The card for the upcoming show for STARDOM in the United States is set.

The event named American Dream in the Keynote State, is taking place on April 4 in Philadelphia. This will also mark only the second time in STARDOM history that the top title, the World of STARDOM Championship, is defended on American soil. The first time was Toni Storm vs. Mercedes Martinez in 2017.

The match in question will have Megan Bayne challenge the champion Maika. Maika is currently in her first title reign and has held the gold for close to 100 days. Bayne had recently wrapped up her time in STARDOM and was said to be under contract with AEW but has not appeared on AEW since.

Camron Branae, formerly known as Amari Miller in NXT, will be in action. She will be teaming up with AZM and Saya Kamitani to take on Stephanie Vaquer, Momo Watanabe & Starlight Kid.

We will also see AEW’s Mariah May and TNA’s Xia Brookside team up once again along with Mina Shirakawa to take on Mayu Iwatani, Tam Nakano & Momo Kohgo.

Full card is listed in the post below:

Steph De Lander Returns To TNA, Earns Title Shot At Rebellion

We’re less than a month out from TNA Rebellion and we now know who will challenge Jordynne Grace for the TNA Knockouts World Championship.

The March 28 IMPACT opened with the first Knockouts 8-4-1 match. It started out with Havok, Masha Slamovich, Jody Threat, and Alisha Edwards taking on the team of Rosemary, Xia Brookside, Dani Luna, and a returning Steph De Lander.

De Lander ended up filling in for Ash By Elegance, who had to sit out because of her recent lip filler. Nevertheless, Ash sat at ringside to watch the action as SDL and Havok started it off with a staredown.

Alisha was an early target by the opposing team until Masha and Luna clashed, followed by Threat and Xia. Masha and Jody argued over who would be legal before Xia nearly put Masha away. The action broke down between everyone until it came down to Luna and Masha again. In the end, Luna caught Masha in a roll-up to win it for her team.

From there, it became a four-way with Rosemary vs. Xia Brookside vs. Dani Luna vs. Steph De Lander. Masha decided to take out Luna because of the loss. Rosemary and Xia then targeted Steph until Xia was bumped off the apron onto Ash. Ash was so furious because of the physicality that she tossed Xia into the ring post only for the ref to eject her.

Back inside, Rosemary fired up but a returning Matt Cardona ran in and hit her with Radio Silence. This allowed De Lander to hit Rosemary with TKO for the win.

As a result, Steph De Lander will now challenge Jordynne Grace on April 20 in Las Vegas.

It was also announced that Ash By Elegance will take on Xia Brookside next week.

Willow Nightingale Earns TBS Title Match At AEW Dynasty

The March 27 episode of AEW Dynamite in Quebec City featured Kris Statlander, Skye Blue, Anna Jay, and Willow Nightingale clashing in a four-way to determine who will earn the TBS title shot at AEW Dynasty.

Mercedes Moné joined commentary to watch as Skye Blue made sure to play spoiler for Statlander’s momentum. In response, Willow ran over Skye at ringside with a pounce. Mercedes then stood up for a stare-down with Nightingale heading into the commercial break.

We returned to Statlander planting Blue into the mat for a nearfall. Stat then went up top but was cut off by Anna, who landed a superplex. Willow broke the cover with a senton shortly before Skye hit Code Blue. Anna dropped Stat with a flatliner on Blue, but both women kicked out.

On the apron, Willow countered a dragon suplex in order to hit Blue with a DVD, which stunned Mercedes. Anna nearly put Kris away, but Willow ran in and slammed Jay for the three-count.

As a result, Nightingale will now challenge Julia Hart on April 21 in St. Louis. However, Hart wasted little time in attacking Willow post-match to send a message. She then stared down Moné while holding up her title.

We also saw a new vignette from “Timeless” Toni Storm, who appeared alongside the host of Turner Classic Movies Ben Mankiewicz.

Becky Lynch Has Two Months Left Of Current WWE Contract

Becky Lynch has made comments in recent memory that she will be remaining with WWE for the rest of her in-ring career, but is that still the case?

Lynch is in her last two months of her current contract with the company. In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani on the MMA hour, Lynch discusses her current contract heading into this year’s WrestleMania. She has said nobody has talked about her renewal yet.

Below is the conversation between the two.

Ariel Helwani: Is this the final year of your contract? 

Becky Lynch: It’s the final two months. [laughs] 

Ariel Helwani: This is fun, I like this. 

Becky Lynch: You wanted me to be honest. 

Ariel Helwani: Yes, I do. I love honesty. Any talks of the renewal? 

Becky Lynch: Nobody’s said nothing to me. 

Ariel Helwani: Are you interested in renewing? 

Becky Lynch: We’ll see. 

Ariel Helwani: What do you mean, ‘We’ll see?’ 

Becky Lynch: We’ll see [laughs]. 

Ariel Helwani: What happens after two months if you don’t have a deal? Can you talk to others? 

Becky Lynch: I’m WWE. 

Ariel Helwani: Okay, so it’s WWE or bust? 

Becky Lynch: Yeah, I just don’t know. 

Ariel Helwani: Is there a chance this is your last WrestleMania? 

Becky Lynch: I doubt that. 

Ariel Helwani: Is this common that it would be two months out and no deal? 

Becky Lynch: nuh-uh. 

Ariel Helwani: Maybe that’s the difference in the Endeavor era and this old era. Interesting. Are you nervous about this? Are you anxious about it? Do you feel disrespected that there isn’t a new deal in front of you? 

Becky Lynch: At this stage in the game, contrary to a lot of the thoughts in this book [from] when I was coming up, I am so confident in my ability and my worth. I’m not worried. 

Ariel Helwani: Do you think this gets settled before WrestleMania? 

Becky Lynch: I don’t know. There’s a lot coming up before WrestleMania. I just gave you my schedule for the next month. I don’t know when I’m going to get to play a zombie again for my three-year-old.

Willow Nightingale Wants More Milestones For AEW Women’s Roster

Willow Nightingale Wants More Milestones For AEW Women’s Roster

As AEW continues to add big names to its roster, Willow Nightingale wants to see more match types and set more milestones. For example, a women’s Blood & Guts and a Continental Classic. Tag Team Championships would be another hope.

While talking with Lyric Swinton, Nightingale was asked what milestones would she like to see the women of AEW achieve.

“There’s a lot of things that come to mind. A Blood & Guts is definitely on there. I do love the idea of having our own Continental Classic, but kind of branching off of that, I’m not sure how many other women on our roster, aside from myself, have had the opportunity to wrestle internationally and represent AEW.

I know Toni Storm has done a few things with New Japan, in terms of being with Juice over there. But from a wrestling perspective, I may have been the only so far representing AEW [while] wrestling in Japan. This coming week, I’m also gonna be representing AEW over at CMLL, so I’m really grateful for these opportunities. I’m excited about them, and I hope I continue to do so in the future, but I know we’ve had STARDOM come over recently. I think when there are moments where maybe someone on the roster isn’t on TV every single week or they’re not directly tied into a storyline, it would be really cool to see some girls go over to STARDOM for a few weeks, get to train there. Even if you’re not training there, just doing the matches and working with all these other international wrestlers, you think about wrestling a different way.

You adapt to a different audience, and you kind of understand more about yourself because the way I think when I go and I do all these different things is like, how do I make this audience believe that I have a value outside of what is already going on here. How do I also blend in to what’s going on without disrupting the flow too much, but how do I also give them the personal Willow Nightingale experience? How do I show them me? I think you learn a lot about yourself doing that, and there’s so many girls on the roster who could do the same, so more sending our girls over to other places and learning more about themselves would be very cool. Tag team championships would also be really awesome to have [laughs],” Nightingale said. (Fightful)

Natalya Answers Lola Vice; Jazmyn Nyx Makes In-Ring Debut

Natalya was the surprise response to Lola Vice’s open challenge on the March 26 episode of NXT.

Vice, who hadn’t wrestled on NXT since early February, issued an open challenge to anyone in the locker room. Most expected Karmen Petrovic to answer as she has been having some discourse with Vice lately. Instead, the veteran Natalya answered. Petrovic did show up late in the match to cheer on Natalya from ringside.

The final moments had Natalya go for the Sharpshooter but couldn’t get it locked in. She then applied an arm bar but Vice was able to escape after getting a near fall of her own. Finally, after a missed round house kick by Vice, Natalya rolled her up for the win.

Natalya and Petrovic celebrated post match.

Elsewhere on NXT, Jazmyn Nyx finally made her in-ring debut. Interesting to note, Nyx has had many matches at house shows but never has appeared on Level Up. Nyx made her way to the ring with Jacy Jayne to face Thea Hail. Solid first showing by Nyx, but in the end, Hail would emerge the victor.

Jayne first had the rest of Chase U banned from ringside. She stole the towel from Andre Chase and tossed it into the ring to signal Hail giving up. But Riley Osborne jumped in the ring and caught the towel before it landed, this prompted the referee to send Chase U to the back.

While the official wasn’t looking, Jayne hopped on the ring apron and came face to face with Hail. Hail emotional said she thought they were friends in which Jayne replied they never were before slapping her. Nyx tried to take advantage with a roll up but Hail kicked out and transferred directly into the Kimura which caused Nyx to tap out. Hail purposefully bent back the arm of Nyx in a way to snap it before letting go.

Jayne enters the ring and went after Hail. Kiana James and Izzi Dame joined Jayne and it was a three on one attack. This is until Fallon Henley and Kelani Jordan entered to make the save. At one point they were playing tug of war with Jayne before she regrouped with James and Dame.

Roxanne Perez will be challenging Lyra Valkyria for the NXT Women’s Championship at Stand & Deliver on day one of WrestleMania XL. Really good video promos were aired for both women.

The participants will be former TBS Champion Kris Statlander, Skye Blue, Anna Jay, and Willow Nightingale. Moné being on commentary should be interesting because since her arrival she has had the back of both Statlander and Nightingale….but, has unfinished business with Nightingale.

Jade Cargill is officially making her debut this Friday as a member of the SmackDown roster. Cargill, who signed last September with WWE, has made many appearances for the company including entering the Royal Rumble. However, her brand placement wasn’t known until now.

Following the hype of her debut for this Friday, Cargill was at a recent basketball game where she interacted with fans.

All smiles, Cargill stated, “Just keep watching, just keep watching. I need y’all to watch this Friday, just watch. Some big shit is about to happen. We making money around here, you feel me?”

It is rumored by fan speculation that with WresteMania rapidly approaching, Cargill may team with Naomi and Bianca Belair to face Damage CTRL.

Three Hour Raw, Two Minutes Of Women’s Wrestling

On the March 25 episode of Raw, just two weeks before WrestleMania XL and we received just under two minutes worth of women’s wrestling. And in Women’s History Month no less!

Candice LeRae took on Ivy Nile as the two have butted heads since LeRae has made Maxxine Dupri a target of her heel turn. The match had LeRae fake an injury which landed Nile in a roll up for LeRae to win. Very diva-esque. Indi Hartwell on the outside still left unsettled by LeRae’s new approach to gather wins.

In a WWE Exclusive, because you know they couldn’t fit this on a three how show, Hartwell tells LeRae she doesn’t like what she has been doing and how she has been winning matches. LeRae then gives her an ultimatum, either Hartwell does things LeRae’s way or she can find a new partner.

They were able to remember that WrestleMania is two weeks away and the women should get some time for time. The Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley cut a promo with Dominik Mysterio by her side. She faces Becky Lynch on the biggest stage but feels that leading up to now that Becky has been dodging her and not giving her the attention she deserves.

As Dominik was about to speak, Lynch made her way out. She commented how she has been having matches for weeks but Ripley doesn’t even wrestle on Raw anymore. Ripley responded saying that Lynch’s daughter will wind up calling her Mami. This set Lynch completely off and the two eventually brawled after Lynch punched Dominik in the face.

So that’s what you “missed” from this week’s Raw.

Becky Lynch Says She Would Love To Open WrestleMania XL

Becky Lynch, who is challenging Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Title at WrestleMania XL, would love to open the event.

“I would love to open the show. I would love that. I’ve never opened WrestleMania before,” Becky told ClutchPoints after saying she isn’t worried with the card order. “To open this one, as big as it is in Philadelphia, I’m just putting that out there,” she manifested with a laugh. “It would be pretty cool because if it’s not the main event, I always want to be the opening spot — it’s always a great place on the card because people are so excited.”

She continues, “Ooh, night one. I would love to open the whole of WrestleMania, you know what I’m saying? Just [to] be that first match for that whole event. [Opening the show will] give me enough time that I can relax and really enjoy Colby [Rollins] main eventing WrestleMania and getting to watch him do that because that will be so special,” she said.

With the constant struggle of who will main event WrestleMania, would you like the women to open the show instead?

Bayley Wants To Main Event Night Two Of Mania, Says Rhea/Becky Can Have Night One

Bayley should absolutely main event WrestleMania XL regardless of the night. She won the 2024 Royal Rumble match and has earned that spot. However, as we saw last year, Rhea Ripley, who won the 2023 Royal Rumble, did not get to main event against Charlotte Flair.

In fact, we have not had a main event for the women since Bianca Belair won in 2021 where she faced Sasha Banks in the main event of night one.

While speaking with Alex McCarthy and The Daily Mail, Bayley says that Ripley is still young and that her time will come. Or if she wants to main event, why not have the women main evenr both nights?

“I would never say that the women shouldn’t be main-eventing a WrestleMania, especially at the calibre of Rhea and Becky. Becky has had an insane career already and Rhea, her rise has been so quick. Fans love her. But she’s still so young. Rhea, you got time to main event WrestleMania some other time, because this year is mine and IYO’s year.

This year has been the role model’s year, starting at Royal Rumble, OK? And I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I’ve been fighting for this for a long time. Becky’s had her main event spot, so it’s time for the role model, ding dong hello Bayley, to take this main event spot. You guys can have the first night and I’ll take the second night. You know, we can do that. You never had two women main event both shows at WrestleMania. Why can’t it be this year? It’s the biggest WrestleMania of the year. With all due respect, I would like to take that spot. Rhea, you’re very young.”

Bayley also speaks on Mercedes Moné’s AEW debut which you can watch below.

Bianca Belair Explains Why She Saved Naomi On SmackDown

Bianca Belair came out to make the save for Naomi on this past Friday’s SmackDown episode. The numbers game continued to be too much from Damage CTRL, but Belair did what she could to help Naomi.

During SmackDown LowDown, Belair explained why she helped Naomi who she was so against for sticking her neck out for Bayley the week before.

“You know, after talking to Naomi, I realized I just gotta let that hurt go. Let’s make one thing very clear, I did not run out there for Bayley. I ran out there for Naomi because she led with her heart, she led with her feelings, and she ended up in that mess,” said Bianca. “Watching her out there getting beat up by Damage CTRL, getting misted, trying to fight Damage CTRL all by herself, I saw myself in her. I remembered how I felt for 2 years trying to fight Damage CTRL by myself and wishing there was somebody there to help me. So here I am, I couldn’t leave my sis hanging, and we’re back in it with Damage CTRL.”

Further explanation from Belair on an Instagram shows that she will stick by Naomi’s side because she knows what it felt like being alone the past two years.

“I’ve been here fighting for my life for 2 years against them ALONE. Consistently… Constantly ALONE and anyone who tried to help is gone now,”she wrote in her story. “Charlotte gone w/ injury. Shotzi gone w/ injury. Becky gone off fighting her own battle. Just felt like I was constantly getting left to do it on my own and it gets exhausting and overwhelming. 

“Then, Bayley gets jumped out of her own group that she created and now everyone feels sorry for her and wants to help take down Damage CTRL,” continues Bianca. “Can’t lie, I was hesitant to trust this process again… but I couldn’t leave Naomi hanging or blame her for trying to do what I myself did for 2+ years.”

Asuka Returns To The Ring At WWE Live Show

Asuka’s injury turns out to not be serious as she has returned to the ring.

As a recap, Asuka tweaked her knee two weeks ago on SmackDown during a post match attack against Bayley and Naomi. She was removed from that weekend’s live events due to caution to get more tests done on her knee.

Asuka was still on screen this past Friday during another attack on Naomi and then Bianca Belair. She primarily used the mist to take down Naomi before joining the attack.

On Saturday’s house show for the Road to WrestleMania Asuka joined IYO SKY and Kairi Sane and took on Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, and Naomi in a losing effort. Asuka would not be on the Sunday show and was replaced by Dakota Kai.

Rhea Ripley was in action as well and defeated both Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax to retain the Women’s World Title. Ripley had some fun giving Jax the stink face and so much so that Baszler wanted it done to her.
