Dark Side Of The Ring Season 7 Trailer Reveals Star Studded Lineup And Major Stories

Dark Side of the Ring is preparing to return with its seventh season, and the newly released trailer suggests VICE TV is aiming for one of the series’ most ambitious runs yet.

The latest season is set to debut on July 7 at 9 p.m. ET with a special two episode premiere. Alongside the announcement, VICE unveiled the first trailer, giving viewers an early glimpse at the stories and personalities that will be featured throughout the season.

The preview opens with a memorable quote from wrestling veteran Jeff Jarrett, who reflects on the impact of fame by stating, “They say fame changes folks, but the reality is it doesn’t change folks, it reveals folks.”

From there, the trailer quickly shifts into darker territory, highlighting the controversial and often tragic stories that have become synonymous with the series. One of the standout moments features Jim Cornette delivering a chilling remark: “You’re not supposed to hang people.”

Several well known figures from across the wrestling industry make appearances throughout the footage, including Eddie Kingston, Samoa Joe, Tony Khan, and Scott Steiner, giving the upcoming season a star studded feel.

Among the featured stories will be an extensive three part exploration of TNA Wrestling and Jarrett’s role in the promotion’s history. The season will also spotlight the lives and careers of Paul Orndorff, Ray Traylor, Missy Hyatt, Zach Gowen, and The Renegade. Another episode will revisit the infamous match between Necro Butcher and Samoa Joe, a bout that remains one of wrestling’s most talked about and brutal encounters.

The trailer emphasizes the emotional and chaotic storytelling that has helped make Dark Side of the Ring a standout wrestling documentary series. With compelling personalities, controversial moments, and some of wrestling’s most unforgettable stories, Season 7 appears ready to continue the show’s tradition of exploring the industry’s most fascinating and troubling chapters.

Braun Strowman Says WWE Return Is Possible Under The Right Conditions

Former WWE star Braun Strowman has made it clear that his focus is currently on opportunities outside the wrestling world, but he is not completely closing the door on a future return to the ring.

Speaking on the Battleground Podcast, Strowman discussed how his career has evolved since departing WWE in 2025. One of his biggest projects is hosting USA Network’s Everything on the Menu, a role he says allows fans to see the person behind the larger than life “Monster Among Men” character.

Despite enjoying success in television and other business ventures, Strowman admitted that a wrestling comeback remains a possibility under the right circumstances. During the conversation, he even named Oba Femi as a potential opponent he would be interested in facing.

“(If) money’s right, I’m down to do about anything. I’ll try anything twice to make sure I don’t like it. But hey, yeah, that’s what I said. You want to back that Brinks truck up, dump some gold bullion on my porch? I’ll come whip that young kid’s (Oba Femi) a** real quick. It didn’t look like it took Brock too much to do it this last weekend.”

Strowman also offered praise for Femi, highlighting the impressive performances that have helped establish him as one of WWE’s fastest rising stars.

“Don’t get me wrong, Oba’s very impressive, all goofing aside and stuff like that. The kids got a hell of a future in front of them and stuff like that. He’s quite the specimen and stuff like that. And like I said, if WWE pull their head out of there, you know what? And have some common sense, we can make a lot of money. But that is what it is. Business is business. I’m enjoying the hell out of being the host of the number one food television show on cable television, Everything on the Menu”

While his schedule has shifted away from wrestling, Strowman acknowledged that there are aspects of the industry he still misses.

“I miss the ring. Don’t get me wrong, I miss being in the ring, I miss being in the locker room with the boys, I miss the pop, I miss the fans. I don’t miss the politics and the bull crap that comes along with it. They can still over there and argue and do all that stuff.”

Since leaving WWE, Strowman has expanded into several entertainment and business ventures. Alongside his hosting duties on Everything on the Menu, he also teamed up with Magilla Entertainment to launch Meat Castle Media, a production company focused on developing new projects.

Although he remains busy outside the squared circle, Strowman continues to keep a close eye on WWE programming and has regularly shared his thoughts on top stars and major storylines. His recent comments suggest that while retirement is not currently on the table, any return would need to make sense both creatively and financially.
