At the 2010 Elimination Chamber, one of the most unexpected accidents in professional wrestling history occurred when The Undertaker’s iconic jacket caught fire due to a pyrotechnics malfunction while making his entrance to the ring. After barely avoiding disaster, “The Deadman” still competed in the match despite suffering from second-degree burns, and now one of his opponents in the Elimination Chamber match, AEW’s Johnny TV, formerly known as John Morrison, has offered his perspective on the incident during an appearance on “Insight.”

“I was in my pod locked. My coat off and I was trying to look cool and Taker’s entrance hits and it’s the stoic, here he comes slowly walking and I see the flames go off on the ramp. He’s standing right in the middle of them and I thought that’s so cool until I was like, ‘Oh he’s on fire,’ and then I see him take his jacket off, throw it down, and then take a few steps quickly and look around, and then back to character … I feel like I saw his face change from just The Undertaker walk to just being seethingly angry,” he explained. “I was terrified when I got in there with him. Nothing but the most professional solid guy was there in the ring performing, that’s him. And kind of a nervous younger dude, that was me.”

Morrison also shared that The Undertaker went searching for the man operating the pyrotechnics after the event, but he immediately left the building after “The Phenom” caught on fire and never returned to work again after the accident.

Braun Strowman Targets Summer 2026 Return to Wrestling

Posted by admin on March 19th, 2026

Braun Strowman has hinted at a possible return to in-ring competition in summer 2026, nearly a year after his WWE release.

Strowman, whose real name is Adam Scherr, recently posted a throwback image on X showing himself slamming Brock Lesnar. The post appeared to reference the recent viral moment involving Lesnar and Oba Femi on WWE RAW, drawing attention from fans.

When asked by podcaster Mike Gilbert about his return timeline, Strowman gave a cautious update.

“Maybe this summer,” Strowman replied. “I’m mid filming season two of Everything on the Menu now and have a few other projects. So will see.”

Strowman has not competed since his WWE release in May 2025. His last match took place on April 18, 2025, where he teamed with LA Knight against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.

Since stepping away from WWE, Strowman has focused on projects outside the ring. One of his main ventures is Everything on the Menu, a food-based reality series where he travels across the United States trying local cuisine. The show was officially renewed for a second season in January 2026 and is co-produced by WWE, allowing Strowman to continue using his in-ring name.

In addition to the show, Strowman recently launched his own production company, Meat Castle Media, expanding his presence in entertainment beyond wrestling.

His return plans have also been impacted by health issues. Earlier in 2026, Strowman revealed he underwent urgent surgery to drain fluid from his knee due to an infection. The situation raised concerns about his ability to return in the near future.

While Strowman has now suggested a summer timeline, his comments indicate that nothing is confirmed. His schedule with filming and other commitments, along with his recovery, will play a role in determining when he can step back into the ring.

For now, a return in summer 2026 remains a possibility rather than a guaranteed date.

Maybe this summer. I’m mid filming season two of everything on the menu now and have a few other projects. So will see.

Santos Escobar Out for Months After Torn Tricep Injury

Posted by admin on March 19th, 2026

Santos Escobar has confirmed that he will be out of action for several months following his recent injury.

The update comes shortly after Escobar competed in the AAA Rey de Reyes tournament final, where he faced La Parka, El Grande Americano II, and El Grande Americano original. Following the match, reports surfaced that he had suffered a torn tricep and would require surgery.

During the match, Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. interfered, costing Escobar the victory and continuing their rivalry. Now, Escobar has addressed both the injury and the situation in a video shared by AAA.

“The reason I came to AAA, Wagner, is to show you what real Lucha Libre is. And to prove that you’re not on my level. And that your mask is not the most beautiful in Mexican Lucha Libre,” Escobar said. “What you did today is unforgivable. The medical reports says I’ll be out for months…months. This is what I do to provide for my family, my legacy, and you messed with it.”

Escobar also made it clear that his absence will not end the feud, promising a return with higher stakes.

“When I come back, because you better believe I’m coming back. I’m not just coming back for that title. This time, I’m coming back for what you value most, what you say is the most beautiful thing in Mexican Lucha Libre. Be careful what you wish for.”

As previously reported, Escobar’s injury has been confirmed as a torn tricep. He is scheduled to undergo surgery on Thursday, March 19, 2026.

The injury will sideline Escobar for an extended period, putting his current in-ring plans on hold. However, his comments suggest that WWE and AAA could revisit the rivalry with Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. once he is medically cleared.

For now, Escobar faces a lengthy recovery process, with his return timeline expected to depend on rehabilitation progress following surgery.

FTR vs Cope & Cage Set for AEW Dynasty

Posted by admin on March 19th, 2026

FTR vs Cope & Cage Set for AEW Dynasty – A major tag team title rematch has been made official for AEW Dynasty, as FTR will defend the AEW World Tag Team Championships against Adam Copeland and Christian Cage.

The match was confirmed during the March 18 episode of AEW Dynamite following the main event, which saw The Young Bucks and Jack Perry defeat Kazuchika Okada and RPG Vice. After the match, Matt and Nick Jackson addressed their failed attempt to win the titles at Revolution, stating that nothing would stop them from becoming four-time champions.

The segment then shifted when Copeland and Cage made their way to the ring. Copeland spoke directly to the Bucks, referencing his return to AEW and the need to settle unfinished business with FTR following the attack on his wife, Beth Copeland, at All Out.

He made it clear that he intends to take the championships from FTR and revealed that the rematch is set for AEW Dynasty, ensuring the Bucks heard the announcement firsthand.

Cage followed up by focusing on the stakes of the match, stating that winning the titles would solidify their place as the best tag team of their era, as well as surpassing the accomplishments of the Bucks’ generation.

Shortly after, FTR, represented by Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, came to the ring alongside Stokely Hathaway. However, the situation broke down quickly as both the Bucks and Copeland & Cage attacked them. The segment ended with all four competitors holding the tag team titles at the same time in a tense staredown before the Bucks exited.

The rivalry between these teams dates back to All Out, where Copeland and Cage defeated FTR. That victory was overshadowed by a post-match attack, as FTR delivered a spike piledriver to Beth Copeland, writing Adam Copeland off television while he filmed “The Beekeeper 2.”

Copeland and Cage returned at Revolution following FTR’s win over the Young Bucks, reigniting the feud.

The rematch will take place at AEW Dynasty on Sunday, April 12, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is the first official match announced for the pay-per-view.

Toni Storm Pulled from AEW Dynamite After Backstage Attack

Posted by admin on March 19th, 2026

Toni Storm was originally scheduled to face Marina Shafir in a no holds barred match on the March 18 episode of AEW Dynamite but was removed from the bout before the show began.

Just minutes ahead of the broadcast, a clip was released showing Storm laid out in her locker room in a pool of blood. Mina Shirakawa was seen checking on her, while Luther reacted in panic as Renee Paquette rushed into the scene.

At the start of Dynamite, it was announced that Storm had not been medically cleared to compete following her recent match against Shafir at AEW Revolution on March 15. The broadcast initially did not reference the backstage attack, with that development acknowledged later in the show.

As of now, there is no confirmation on whether the injury is part of a storyline or a legitimate issue. Details regarding the nature of the injury and how long Storm could be out of action have not been disclosed.

With Storm unable to compete, Shirakawa stepped in as her replacement to face Shafir. Shirakawa went on to win the match, finishing Shafir with the Storm Zero piledriver.

The situation adds uncertainty to Storm’s status coming out of Revolution, especially given the violent nature of her recent match and the added backstage angle. Whether this leads to an extended absence or a continuation of the storyline remains unclear.

AEW has not provided further updates on Storm’s condition at this time.
