Bianca Belair Provides Hopeful Finger Injury Update Ahead of SummerSlam

Bianca Belair remains uncertain for an in-ring return at SummerSlam, just over ten days away, as she recovers from a severe finger fracture sustained in April. The former Women’s World Champion broke her finger in three places affecting the joint and, despite healing, still can’t bend it without risking re-injury.

Belair has been limited to non-wrestling duties, including a special guest referee role at Evolution, and is evaluating whether surgery is necessary. While professionally frustrated by the three-month layoff, she admits the break has allowed her to recharge after more than 300 appearances last year.

Rikishi Dubs Roman Reigns ‘God Mode’ Ahead of SummerSlam

Rikishi couldn’t hide his enthusiasm for Roman Reigns’ surprise return, labeling his son-in-law “God Mode” during a recent appearance on the Off The Top podcast. Praising Reigns as a one-man economic engine for WWE, TKO and Netflix, Rikishi pointed to the Tribal Chief’s unmatched ability to draw big crowds and drive ratings, regardless of his part-time status.

Looking ahead to SummerSlam, Rikishi questioned whether Reigns truly needs a partner, arguing that “God Mode” stands stronger on his own. Despite speculation about a tag-team showdown with Jey Uso against Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, Rikishi believes WWE should feature the Tribal Chief solo to maximize his star power and protect the match’s prestige.

WWE Has No Plans to Bring Back Saraya, Report Says

WWE’s doors remain closed to Saraya despite fan clamor and her AEW departure. According to Bodyslam.net, WWE never seriously considered signing Saraya—formerly Paige—for any appearance at Evolution or beyond.

After departing AEW earlier this year, speculation mounted that the 32-year-old British star might return to WWE. Instead, sources say the company has no interest in rehiring her, citing her extended medical retirement and lack of roster need.

With WWE doctors previously refusing to clear her for in-ring action, Saraya’s path back to the ring appears all but blocked by health and creative factors.

Paige Reveals Vince McMahon’s ‘Wrestle Like a Girl’ Mandate

Former WWE Women’s Champion Paige opened up on the Insight With Chris Van Vliet podcast about the creative constraints she faced under Vince McMahon. She recalled being told to “tone down” her hard-hitting indie style—no more death matches or punches—because McMahon believed female wrestlers should “wrestle like a girl,” complete with hair-pulls and catty roll-ups.

Today, Paige—now Saraya in AEW—celebrates the current women’s revolution, praising WWE’s new stipulation matches and expressing a desire to return for Money in the Bank and Royal Rumble opportunities. Her comments underscore how far women’s wrestling has evolved since her early main-roster days.

Cody Rhodes Recalls Awkward Donald Trump WrestleMania Moment

At WrestleMania 29 in 2013, Cody Rhodes found himself alone and dejected under the stage after learning his scheduled tag match with Nikki Bella had been scrapped. On his podcast with Nikki Bella, Rhodes recalled how WWE Hall-of-Famer inductee—and future president—Donald Trump and his family walked beneath the ring to the Hall of Fame segment and unexpectedly interrupted him.

Trump tapped his foot, said “Excuse me, young man,” and moved on, but the bizarre encounter compounded Rhodes’s frustration and nearly drove him out of sports entertainment. Today, Rhodes reflects on that surreal moment as one of the earliest tests of his resilience in WWE.
