WWE Hall Of Famer Bill Goldberg Named CEO Of Tactical Gear Company

Posted by admin on February 23rd, 2026

Since wrestling his retirement match against GUNTHER last July, and immediately letting everyone know what he thought of said retirement match, Bill Goldberg has largely kept a low profile. But after several month in silence, the former undefeated WCW World Heavyweight Champion and future WWE Hall of Famer has re-emerged at the start of 2026 with a brand new project, though it’s one quite unlike anything from his time in football, acting, or professional wrestling.

In a press release unveiled on February 13, Goldberg was announced as partner and new Chief Executive Officer for Patriot Tactical.

“For me, this isn’t about putting my name on a brand,” Goldberg said in a statement. “It’s about building something that stands for strength, discipline, and protecting what matters most. Patriot Tactical is about empowering people — physically, mentally, and strategically. We’re creating a movement.”

A tactical brand that focuses on “strength, preparedness, and purpose,” Patriot Tactical is known for selling, unsurprisingly, a vast amount of tactical gear. With Goldberg now onboard, the brand is looking to increase production in “elite-grade tactical knives and tools, personal defense tools designed with real-world performance in mind, tactical training initiatives and educational platforms, and community-building events and veteran-focused outreach.” 

A look at the front page of the company’s website reveals Patriot Tactical also sells bags, gun accessories, and apparel, including t-shirts, hats, hoodies, and water bottles. The brand isn’t wasting any time in getting the WWE Hall of Famer front and center, with the front page of their website featuring video of Goldberg with a knife, a knife which appears to be the limited edition blade Goldberg is selling on Patriot Tactical.

Dave Meltzer Wonders Why Royce Keys Has Yet To Debut On WWE TV

Royce Keys, formerly known as Powerhouse Hobbs in AEW, made his WWE debut last month at the Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia, but hasn’t been seen on television since the event. Outside of an appearance on “What’s Your Story?” with Stephanie McMahon, there has been few references to Keys on WWE’s weekly TV, and there’s been no indication towards which brand he’ll sign with, leading  “Wrestling Observer Radio’s” Dave Meltzer to question the company’s decision making with the 41-year-old.

“I don’t have a good reason. You know what? I’ll ask tomorrow night after the show, see if I can find anything out on that, but I have pointed it out that it is kind of weird. You know, the Rumble was weeks ago now and after the Rumble he should have been on TV somewhere. He should have been on the next week and as far as like why not? I mean, I have theories but the reality is I don’t know and it doesn’t really make a lot of sense,” he explained. “Why was he in the Rumble then? Because in the Rumble, instead of being this big spotlight debut in the Rumble, it was Oba Femi’s night and he was just there.”

Meltzer’s co-host Garrett Gonzalez also provided his opinion on Keys’ status, explaining that WWE is possibly choosing to keep him off TV while Oba Femi wins squash matches on a weekly basis, as the former AEW star would likely be booked similarly to build his character.

Why The Rascalz Were Allowed To Use Their TNA Entrance Theme In AEW

Posted by admin on February 23rd, 2026
Why The Rascalz Were Allowed To Use Their TNA Entrance Theme In AEW

When The Rascalz debuted in All Elite Wrestling in January, many fans immediately noticed a familiar sound. The trio of Dezmond Xavier, Zachary Wentz, and Myron Reed walked out to the same entrance theme they had used in TNA, prompting speculation that AEW President Tony Khan had secured the rights to the music specifically for their debut. 
Trey Miguel was initially part of the group’s move to All Elite Wrestling. He signed alongside the rest of the unit when they departed TNA ahead of its AMC premiere. Despite being included in the original agreement, Miguel was released soon after putting pen to paper.

The decision reportedly stemmed from leadership within Warner Bros. Discovery rather than AEW management. Concerns were raised over past social media posts, leading to Miguel’s departure before he could appear on AEW television.

After briefly stepping away from the business, Miguel ultimately returned to TNA Wrestling and quickly regained momentum as a singles competitor. On February 13, 2026, at the No Surrender event in Nashville, Tennessee, he defeated Channing Stacks Lorenzo to win the TNA International Championship.

Meanwhile, The Rascalz now sit as leading contenders in AEW’s tag team division, awaiting clarity in the ongoing rivalry between FTR and The Young Bucks before their championship opportunity becomes official.

Gunther Responds To Brock Lesnar Retirement Talk And Calls It A Good Option

Gunther Responds To Brock Lesnar Retirement Talk And Calls It A Good Option

After putting an end to the in ring careers of Goldberg and John Cena in their respective farewell matches, GUNTHER added another massive name to his growing list at the 2026 Royal Rumble. This time, it was “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles who fell victim to the dominant force. The match ended in decisive fashion, with the Imperium leader locking in a sleeper hold that left Styles unconscious in the center of the ring.

The aftermath delivered a powerful visual. Styles appeared emotional as he teased leaving his gloves in the ring, a symbolic gesture often associated with retirement. However, he ultimately chose not to walk away, instead keeping his future open for the sake of his family and what may still lie ahead.

GUNTHER recently spoke about his dominance during an appearance on The Morning Shift, where he reflected on the mentality required to remain at the very top. During the interview, the hosts floated the idea of who the so called “Career Killer” might target next. Rather than name someone himself, GUNTHER turned the question back on them and asked who they felt would make sense.

When the name Brock Lesnar was brought up as the ultimate test, GUNTHER did not dismiss the possibility.

“That’s a good one, right? We’ll see. I think there are a bunch of examples of people who overstay their welcome, who just hang on a little bit too much, who chase one moment too much. It seems like there is a big amount of people to choose from,” GUNTHER stated.

The remarks underline the dismissive tone he has consistently used toward veteran talent. Since arriving on the blue brand and later transitioning to Monday nights, he has made it clear that he views long standing legends as obstacles rather than icons. The potential showdown with Lesnar has been circulating among fans ever since their brief but intense face off during the 2023 Royal Rumble, a moment that still sparks conversation.

Lesnar has not appeared on WWE television in recent months, with his last outing taking place at the Royal Rumble. That hiatus is about to end. He is officially scheduled for tonight’s episode of WWE Raw at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, just days before the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event in Chicago.

With GUNTHER continuing to question the relevance of established names, the return of “The Beast” could mark the first step toward a blockbuster collision at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.

Randy Orton Responds To Tom Brady Calling WWE “Cute”

Randy Orton Responds To Tom Brady Calling WWE “Cute”

Randy Orton has fired back at Tom Brady after the NFL icon labeled WWE “cute” while comparing football players to pro wrestlers.

Brady made the remark during an appearance on Impaulsive, where Logan Paul was discussing elite athleticism. The comment quickly caught the attention of several WWE names, and Orton has now weighed in.

Speaking on ESPN’s Get Up, the 14 time world champion made it clear he did not appreciate the description and even joked about delivering one of his signature RKOs to the seven time Super Bowl winner.

“I did see a recent podcast Logan Paul put on, he had Tom Brady on, and Tom Brady had a few things to say about pro wrestling. I think he called it quote unquote ‘cute.’ I’ve never met him, but I’d love to meet Tom and hit him with an RKO. I’d say he’d be at the top of the list,” Orton said.

The RKO remains one of the most recognizable finishing moves in wrestling history, regularly featured in viral moments that stretch far beyond WWE’s core audience.

Paul Heyman also chimed in on Brady’s remarks, outlining how he and Logan Paul would handle the former quarterback in front of a live WWE crowd.

Meanwhile, the road to WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas continues. Orton is preparing for the Elimination Chamber match on February 28 at the United Center in Chicago. He punched his ticket to the bout by defeating Solo Sikoa and Aleister Black in a triple threat match earlier this month.

However, momentum shifted on SmackDown when Orton was defeated by Black in the main event following interference from Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre. The victory marked Black’s first win over Orton since returning to the brand.

Now entering the Chamber for a record tenth time, Orton is aiming to secure another world title opportunity heading into the spring.
