Stephanie McMahon and AJ Styles will headline the Hall of Fame class. McMahon was the first person revealed, back in September. Both were notified of their inductions publicly by The Undertaker, who told Styles he’d be going in this year, as well, after he left his gloves in the ring during a February episode of “WWE Raw” in Georgia. Styles wrestled his final match, a loss against GUNTHER, at the Royal Rumble.

Demolition will also be inducted, and Sycho Sid and Bad News Brown will go into the Legacy wing. Dennis Rodman is the celebrity inductee this year. As for the Immortal Moment, WWE will honor Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant’s match from WrestleMania 3. It will be the late Hogan’s third time in the Hall of Fame, as he has been honored individually and as a member of the nWo. It will be Andre’s second honor after he was inducted during the inaugural ceremony in 1993.

The UFC has officially filled out its summer schedule today as the date and location for UFC 330 has officially been announced.

The company confirmed via its official X (formerly known as Twitter) account that UFC 330 will take place on August 15 at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The arena, which was known as the Wells Fargo Center for 15 years, hasn’t held a UFC event since 2019, with the last event being the UFC on ESPN 2 card that was headlined by Justin Gaethje’s fight with Edson Barboza, where Gaethje knocked Barboza out halfway through the first round.

UFC 330 will be the fourth UFC event in total to take place in the “City of Brotherly Love.” Before UFC on ESPN 2 in 2019, Philadelphia had only held two previous UFC events. The first came in 2009 with UFC 101, which was headlined by BJ Penn’s successful defense of the UFC Lightweight Championship against Kenny Florian, while Anderson Silva produced an all-time great performance when he defeated Forrest Griffin. The company would return to the city two years later for UFC 133, a fight card headlined by Rashad Evans and Tito Ortiz fighting it out in the light heavyweight division.

When appearing on “The Pat McAfee Show” to talk about the breaking news, Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro stated that he understands the importance of the UFC, as well as the importance of sport bringing people together, and is excited to see such a major UFC event return to the city of Philadelphia for the first time in seven years.

NFL legend Tom Brady has taken a few heavy shots at pro wrestling in the past few months, specifically towards Logan Paul, leading many to believe that he will likely be involved in WrestleMania to some effect. Now, he has an explicit invitation from wrestling royalty, specifically WWE’s Charlotte Flair.

“I respect Tom and maybe it was like, he was trying to be funny … but I say this to any professional athlete — and Tom is, what, the greatest of all time — it is very different being in the ring than watching it,” Flair expressed during an interview on ESPN’s “Unsportsmanlike.” “Tom, please come to WrestleMania! See what it’s like! Please. Take on Cody [Rhodes], Roman [Reigns], [CM] Punk, anybody!”

While Flair was careful to say she doesn’t know whether Brady is on his way to a WrestleMania appearance, WWE and Brady were in talks last month, per reports from the Wrestling Observer. It remains to be seen whether those talks bear fruit. It should be noted that not everyone thinks WWE has been handling Brady’s potential WrestleMania inclusion correctly — Tommy Dreamer expressed that having Brady act as a heel going into WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, where he’s a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, makes no sense, and it would’ve been better to have him act as a babyface instead.

The Undisputed WWE Championship feud between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton took an incredibly unexpected turn when it was revealed that ESPN host and former WWE commentator Pat McAfee was Orton’s mystery ally. Things have only gotten more intense between Rhodes and the former NFL punter in recent weeks, with McAfee stealing the title belt from him during their most recent promo segment and subsequent beatdown. Rhodes appeared on “Get Up” on ESPN Tuesday morning and played a word association game, where he didn’t mince words when asked about McAfee.

“A rat. A full-blown, full-blooded rat,” Rhodes said. “Who is surrounded by people who don’t tell him ‘no’ enough and now he’s fully involved in what we’re doing. Pat McAfee is on the marquee next to Randy Orton. No one expected that.”

Rhodes explained that he and Orton have 20 years of history, and their fathers “came up on the roads” together. He said that Orton brought him into WWE, and his first match in the company was against “The Viper.” Rhodes said that he learned everything it will take to beat Orton, from Orton.

“Get ready to look up at the lights, pal,” Rhodes said. “All that love that exists between us got thrown away for this Pat McAfee element. Great, get ready to look up at the lights.”

As for McAfee, Rhodes said that he thinks the star is treading water, for now, but he’ll be in the “deep end” on Saturday. He said that he believes McAfee is the type to have to get ready.

“He clearly works hard, but this is a whole new ballgame for Pat and I don’t know if he’s ready,” Rhodes said.
