A new documentary about the career of Shawn Michaels, from his trials and tribulations to his comeback and success before his in-ring retirement in 2010, is set to stream on Peacock ahead of WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas. “The Heartbreak Kid: Becoming Shawn Michaels” is set to premiere on the streaming service on April 13, according to a press release.

The documentary, which was directed by Matt Braine, with Michaels’ real-life best friend Paul “Triple H” Levesque listed as an executive producer alongside Lee Fitting and Ben Houser, will spotlight Michaels’ in-ring ability, as well as his personal struggles. “HBK” had a well-documented history with bad backstage behavior in the 90s, in addition to struggles with drug and alcohol abuse, which he beat during four years away from the ring following a serious back injury sustained at the Royal Rumble in 1998. When he returned to WWE in 2002, he returned as a born-again Christian.

According to the release, the Peacock documentary will chronicle that redemption story, as well as give viewers an inside look at his current role as the head of “WWE NXT” at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. It will feature commentary from the likes of Levesque, Kevin Nash, The Undertaker, and Bret Hart, as well as former “NXT” stars like Je’Von Evans and Trick Williams.

Current stars on the developmental brand, such as Joe Hendry, Sol Ruca, and Ethan Page, will also be featured in interviews about “The Heartbreak Kid.” The trailer for the documentary, available on Peacock’s YouTube page, also shows Michaels’ daughter speaking about her father.

Nate Diaz and Theo Von got onto the topic of CTE and whether it’s something Diaz is concerned about having been fighting for over 20 years. 

Diaz and Chris Avila sat down with Von for the latest episode of his podcast and, amongst other topics, got to address whether or not they were concerned about the effects of CTE considering their fighting careers. 

“Over time with fighting is CTE, does it feel like a real thing to you guys? Do you think that fighting has affected the way that you’re able to think?” Von asked. 

Diaz appeared disinterested in the topic to begin with, laughing after asking Von, “When you do comedy, does CTE f*** with you?” 

But he did continue, “I feel like that’s football probably a lot more than fighting. ‘Cause I played football too. I remember when I f***ing would hit helmets with people and have a headache all night.”

“I don’t know what the question was about CTE. What did you say? My CTE is kicking in,” he laughed. 

“I think that answers it bro,” Von replied before asking if he had gotten vaccinated. Diaz replied: “I didn’t get vaccinated ever. F*** you. Vaccinate yourself motherf*****.”

Whether or not Diaz is concerned, CTE remains one of the foremost medical considerations for anyone entering a contact sport, a result of repeated trauma to the brain causing neurological damage, cognitive decline, and behavioral change. 

Dr. Chris Nowinski is a former professional wrestler who studied neuroscience as a result of his observations in football and professional wrestling as it pertains to CTE, working with institutions to install accurate concussion guidance and preventive measures. 

Even still, there has been a growing contingent of athletes and executives in sport concluding that CTE is either exaggerated or made-up. Very much in the same way anti-vaccination sentiment has become prevalent over recent years.

Former AEW World Champion Chris Jericho hasn’t been seen on AEW programming in almost a year as fans continue to speculate as to whether he’ll return to the company, or make the jump back to WWE. After a new report emerged on Wednesday ahead of “AEW Dynamite” that Jericho is speculated to be returning to Tony Khan’s company, perhaps sooner rather than later, veteran wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer offered further information on social media. According to Meltzer, he was told by WWE to not expect Jericho in the company at all.

“Regarding Jericho, I was told a week ago from WWE not to expect him in WWE any time soon, if ever, regarding rumors going around of him starting in WWE & AEW, both of which were out at the same time when he filed for the trademark,” Meltzer wrote on X (formerly Twitter) ahead of “Dynamite,” which will take place from Jericho’s hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Jericho filed a trademark for the name “The Cornerstone” last week, making fans suspicious of his status once again. It was reported back in February that “Y2J” was still “firmly” under contract with AEW, and his deal might have possibly been frozen as he took time off.

Rumors and speculation of his return to WWE had run rampant when the calendar turned to 2026, as many people believed his AEW deal was up, which was reflected in reports at the time. Fans thought he may return on the “WWE Raw” one-year anniversary episode on Netflix, or at the Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia, or that he was even the person in the mystery box that was shipped between “Raw” and “WWE SmackDown” that was revealed to be Danhausen at Elimination Chamber.

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.’s live coverage for “AEW Dynamite” on April 1, 2026, coming to you live from the Canada Life Center in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada!

Kenny Omega will be challenging MJF for the AEW World Championship at AEW Dynasty on April 12 after defeating Swerve Strickland during last Wednesday’s episode of “Dynamite” to secure his title match and keep his Executive Vice President title in AEW. Not only will Omega and MJF be putting pen-to-paper to make their Dynasty match official tonight in his hometown, but Omega will also be joining forces with Jurassic Express member and reigning AEW National Champion “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry and Brody King to take on The Demand’s Ricochet, Toa Liona, and Bishop Kaun in a Trios Match.

The Brawling Birds’ Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor scored a win against Triangle of Madness’ Skye Blue and Julia Hart during the March 21 “AEW Collision” Slam Dunk Saturday special. Tonight, Blue and Hart have their chance to seek retribution when they join forces with their stablemate and reigning AEW Women’s World Champion Thekla to take on Hayter, Windsor, and Mina Shirakawa. After Shirakawa, Hayter, and Windsor defeated Haven Harris, Nixi XS, and Aminah Belmont on this past Saturday’s episode of “Collision”, Hayter made it clear to Shirakawa that herself and Windsor didn’t attack Shirakawa’s very close friend Toni Storm. When Windsor called out Triangle of Madness, the trio appeared to challenge The Brawling Birds and Shirakawa to face them anytime.

Additionally, Will Ospreay will be colliding with The Death Riders’ PAC before he challenges PAC’s stablemate Jon Moxley for the Continental Championship at Dynasty.

Nate Diaz went into his brother Nick’s five-year suspension from the UFC and MMA after testing positive for marijuana. 

The Diaz brothers are iconic in MMA and Nick as the older brother came into UFC on two occasions after winning gold in WEC and Strikeforce’s Welterweight divisions respectively. 

His second run saw him defeat BJ Penn in October 2011 as part of his chase of Georges St-Pierre, losing to stand-in Carlos Condit for the Interim Welterweight title and testing positive for marijuana, serving a year-long suspension before fighting GSP for the Welterweight title and losing. 

He then fought Anderson Silva at middleweight to mark the beginning of a three-fight deal, losing again, but Silva had tested positive for steroids and the result was overturned to a no-contest with him also suspended for a year. But Diaz tested positive for marijuana once more, and the Nevada State Athletic Commission handed down a five-year suspension. 

When asked by Theo Von whether he tried to get his brother back into the promotion, Nate said that he didn’t and didn’t feel like he was in a position to. 

“No, I didn’t,” he answered. “I never even thought about even how would I get him in? I never even thought about it. It was like when the cops take you to jail and I don’t want you to go to jail, I know I can’t get you out. I ain’t talking to the cops. So that’s probably the situation, I didn’t even think about it. What was I going to do?”

Von asked him whether it was a decision that could have been made by UFC, to which he clarified that the decision-making had nothing to do with the promotion. “It wasn’t the UFC at all. I think it was the commission.”

Nick Diaz did return to UFC in 2021 against Robbie Lawler, verbally submitting to lose via TKO and conclude his MMA career with a record of 26-10 (2 NC).
