Montez Ford After WWE Raw Return: ‘Made A Baby, Kept It A Secret For 6 Months’

A lot has been happening in the Montez Ford–Bianca Belair household over the past few months, and Ford has recently opened up about some major developments in his life.

Belair returned to WWE television at WrestleMania 42, after a long layoff due to injury, and announced to the world that she’s pregnant. Ford, meanwhile, also returned with his tag team partner, Angelo Dawkins, on the “WWE Raw” after WrestleMania. Following his return, he posted a series of photos and gave his fans a sneak peek into a few things that have happened in his life lately.

“GAINED SOME WEIGHT. MADE A BABY. KEPT IT A SECRET FOR 6 MONTHS. TRAINED 8 WEEKS. LOST THE WEIGHT. FINISHED THE ALBUM. COMPLETED 8 MILLION “HONEY-DOs” RETURNED THE MONDAY NIGHT AFTER MANIA. KINGS BACK,” he said.

Ford looked noticeably leaner and more jacked than before when he appeared on “Raw” to save Seth Rollins from a beatdown by The Vision. Logan Paul and Austin Theory of The Vision currently hold the WWE World Tag Team Championship, a title The Street Profits have previously held, and following their interference in the feud between The Vision and Rollins, the duo could be set to chase Theory and Paul for it in the coming weeks and months.

WWE HOFer Claims Dennis Rodman Wanted Him To Give Induction Speech

Dennis Rodman was recently inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by fellow Hall of Famers Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman, but another Hall of Famer — and pro wrestling legend — Ric Flair wanted to be the one to induct him.

Rodman was inducted for his time in the nWo by fellow members Nash and Waltman, but Flair revealed during his appearance on “The Ariel Helwani Show” that Rodman had asked him to induct him, but WWE never returned his call.

“No [I didn’t ask to be at WrestleMania,] but Dennis Rodman called me and said, ‘Will you induct me in the Hall of Fame?’ And I sent to the powers to be Dennis wants me to induct me. I never got a call back. And I’m very happy for Kevin [Nash] and Sean [Waltman]. [But] I never even got a call back,” he said.

Flair has, in the past, inducted several pro wrestling legends, including the likes of Harley Race, Roddy Piper, and, more recently, The Great Muta, in 2023. When he was asked the reason why WWE may have not considered him to induct the NBA legend into the WWE Hall of Fame, Flair cited a “lack of respect” on WWE’s part for it.

“I think there’s a lack of respect, and I think there are so many people under fire right now, they’re all ducking and dodging. All I know is that it seems like people, they hate the fact that I’m so relevant. They hate the fact that I signed more autographs this weekend at WrestleCon than anybody. They hate the fact I did a pool party with um with 3000 beautiful women with Diplo,” argued Flair.

“The Nature Boy” has had issues with WWE management over the last few years, with him recently criticizing WWE for trying to stop him from being a part of Roots Of Fight. 

Mike Bailey Thinks Former AEW TNT Champion Is Going To Be The ‘Best In The World’

Since arriving in AEW, “Speedball” Mike Bailey has developed into one of the promotion’s most consistent performers, particularly when teaming with his JetSpeed teammate, current TNT Champion Kevin Knight. Bailey has particularly stood out when he’s been put face to face with the Don Callis Family’s Kyle Fletcher, with their Continental Classic match in December being seen as the highlight of the tournament, while their rematch for Fletcher’s TNT Championship in March was also acclaimed.

Speaking with “Adrian Hernandez,” Bailey took a moment before discussing his matches with Fletcher by instead giving some love to the three-way match he had with Kenny Omega and Ricochet at AEW Dynasty in 2025. Bailey also admitted that, while he enjoyed that match, the Fletcher matches, and other bouts he’s had in the past, his mindset towards his best match is that it’s always the next match he has, not one from his past.

Upon discussing his bouts with Fletcher, however, Bailey conceded that the matches set an incredibly standard for himself. As for Fletcher, Bailey believes that the now former TNT Champion, who is currently out with a leg injury, has all that it takes to become a wrestling legend, though he believes Fletcher must change one key aspect of his presentation to get there.

“My matches with Kyle Fletcher are going to be very, very difficult to beat in terms of having set the benchmark for myself in terms of match quality,” Bailey said. “And I think that Kyle Fletcher is absolutely soon to be the best wrestler in the world, if he isn’t already. I think the problem is Don Callis, and we need to do away with him so that Kyle can reach his full potential.”
