TNA Has Nixed Other Independent Matches, Frustrating Talent

Posted by admin on April 9th, 2026

TNA Wrestling’s partnerships appear to have prevented its stars from wrestling some AEW talent.

According to “Fightful Select,” several TNA wrestlers were withdrawn from matches in indie promotions against AEW stars, with TNA President Carlos Silva acknowledging that this was because of “partner conflicts,” likely involving WWE. The report further indicated that TNA’s wrestlers are unhappy with the situation. One of the matches reportedly prevented by TNA management from taking place in the indies is AEW Champion MJF’s bout against former AEW star Bear Bronson, which was scheduled for GCW. TNA had stopped Moose from featuring in Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling, while there’s some doubt whether the match between MJF and Nic Nemeth will go ahead too, which is scheduled to take place on May 1. 

AEW recently pre-empted their Saturday night “Collision” show to Thursday, April 2, 2026, going head-to-head with “TNA Impact,” which reportedly angered Silva. Weekly wrestling shows of WWE, TNA, and AEW haven’t aired in the same time slot since “WWE NXT” and “AEW Dynamite” competed directly on Wednesday nights, with the WWE program eventually moving to Tuesday nights. The report claims that the decision to move “Collision” to Thursday night was made by AEW’s network partners WBD, with Tony Khan’s promotion reportedly preferring to air its shows after the March Madness games. 

This week’s “Collision” will return to its Saturday night time slot, but the following week’s show will air once again on a Thursday, April 16.

WWE’s Drew McIntyre Details Creative Process Of Hell In A Cell Match With CM Punk

Posted by admin on April 9th, 2026

After all the verbal and physical jabs, bracelet wearing taunts, and the costs of world championships, “The Scottish Psychopath” Drew McIntyre and “The Best in the World” CM Punk locked horns in one of the most brutal structures in WWE history: a Hell in a Cell cage. Fittingly named, the Bad Blood premium live event acted as the coup de grâce for these two’s year long archrivalry.

“We both knew we had the story going into it, and as much as we didn’t spend a great time together, we both knew there’s no limits here,” the former three-time Undisputed WWE Champion recounted on “Insight” about his October 5, 2024 match. “We had a pretty simple agreement: no crazy stuff. The story has already been told. The cell is the weapon. Let’s make the cell what it used to be, and let’s make people care about Hell in a Cell. Let’s just bring the violence with our physicality and minimal shenanigans.”

Although Punk took their last charge with victory in hand, McIntyre was able to switch gears and create another bitter feud with Cody Rhodes. After some time, McIntyre secured his third run with the Undisputed Championship in their Three Stages of Hell match on the January 9 episode of “WWE SmackDown.” However, the man who helped him obtain the championship eventually cost him the title some months later, on March 6. And that man was the “Samoan Werewolf” Jacob Fatu. With vengeance in his mind and heart, McIntyre looks to get his receipt from Fatu at WrestleMania 42 in an Unsanctioned Match on either April 18 or 19.

CM Punk Reveals Surprising Choice For His Greatest Match Ever

CM Punk Reveals Surprising Choice For His Greatest Match Ever

CM Punk has reflected on his long career and singled out what he considers the very best match he has ever had, offering a surprising take compared to fan expectations.

Although Punk built his name across the independent scene and Ring of Honor before arriving in WWE in 2005, his most memorable clashes have come on the biggest stages. With nearly 1,800 matches under his belt, Punk pointed to his rivalry with John Cena as defining, but made a clear distinction between “moment” and in-ring excellence.

Speaking on WWE Now, Punk acknowledged that their iconic 2011 Money in the Bank encounter holds a special place in history, but stopped short of calling it his finest work. Instead, he highlighted their 2013 showdown on Raw in Dallas as the standout performance of his career.

“I think Money In The Bank is more of a moment. I think, just as a pure contest, that match, I think it was Dallas, that match means a whole lot more to me. I think that’s the best match I’ve ever had,” Punk said.

The 2011 pay-per-view clash saw Punk defeat Cena in a career-defining victory to capture the WWE Championship, a bout widely praised as one of the greatest of its era. That night helped launch Punk into a new level of stardom and remains a fan-favorite to this day.

However, Punk’s personal pick comes from their 2013 Raw meeting, where the stakes were just as high. The winner would move on to challenge The Rock at WrestleMania, adding further significance to an already heated rivalry. Punk emerged victorious that night, delivering what he believes was a superior pure wrestling match.

Their rivalry has even stretched into more recent years. The two shared the ring again at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia last year, where Cena came out on top to retain the Undisputed WWE Championship.

Liv Morgan Spotted After Raw Injury Scare Ahead Of WrestleMania 42

Liv Morgan appears to be on the mend following the injury scare she experienced on this week’s WWE Raw.

During Monday’s show, a frightening moment unfolded when Morgan collided headfirst with Roxanne Perez after being caught off guard by Stephanie Vaquer. Both women were reportedly checked for possible concussions after the incident, sparking concern about Morgan’s status heading into WrestleMania 42.

While WWE has yet to provide an official medical update, Morgan was spotted out on Wednesday night, suggesting she is recovering. She attended an NBA game alongside Raquel Rodriguez and was shown on ESPN during the matchup between the San Antonio Spurs and Portland Trail Blazers.

Morgan was left with visible swelling and bruising on her forehead and nose following the collision. The bump has reduced significantly, though it was still noticeable during her public appearance.

As for Perez, she reassured fans via social media that she was “alive and well” after the incident.

Morgan, the winner of the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble, is still scheduled to challenge Vaquer for the Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania 42 on Saturday, April 18.
