The Bella Twins Fire Back At ‘Toxic Fanbase’ Claim With Strong Response

The Bella Twins aren’t letting criticism of their fanbase slide.

After a post on X from @TitoSanTanaChez labeled the Bella Army as “the most toxic fan base” in WWE, the official Bella Twins account fired back with a passionate defense of their supporters, flipping the narrative and standing firmly behind their community.

Rather than backing down, the response doubled down on what the Bella Army represents, pushing back against the accusation and calling out negativity in the process.

“lol always the evil ones trying to make the light workers look ‘toxic’ If you truly took a second from your hateful headspace you would realize how beautiful the Bella Army is, how much these people are there for each other, especially against bullies worldwide. Why we are one of the biggest and greatest fandoms…. Ever. Because we spread love, light and truth. Many prayers to you my friend. 🙏🏼✨🤍 PS Leave my Bella Army alone. 💋🫶🏼”

The message made it clear that Nikki and Brie’s fanbase isn’t just loyal, it’s something they’re fiercely protective of, especially when it comes under fire online.

OVW Introduces New Safety Protocols Following Dallas Edwards Incident

OVW is moving fast to address safety concerns following the scary in-ring incident involving referee Dallas Edwards.

After the March 12 OVW Rise match where Edwards suffered a concussion and brain bleed, the company faced backlash over the delayed stoppage. Now, they’ve responded with a sweeping overhaul of safety protocols, announced on March 23, 2026, with a clear message that this is only the beginning.

“THESE IMMEDIATE PROTOCOLS MARK THE START OF OVW’S STRENGTHENED, ONGOING COMMITMENT TO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OUR TALENT AND EVERYONE INVOLVED.”

OVW made it clear this is not a quick fix but an evolving system. A major addition is medical training, including seizure recognition and response, directly tied to situations like the Edwards incident.

“THIS IS A LIVING, EVOLVING EFFORT THAT WILL GROW AS NEW BEST PRACTICES, TRAINING AND INDUSTRY STANDARDS EMERGE. OUR FOCUS IS LONG TERM WELLBEING FOR OUR TALENT, CREW AND FANS.

In partnership with the Epilepsy Foundation of Kentuckiana, OVW will host an April Seizure First Aid Certification Program for talent and staff.”

The company also detailed what that training includes, alongside new concussion and CTE education, a key move given the severity of Edwards’ injury.

“This training covers how to recognize different types of seizures, understand their impact, and respond with safe, appropriate first aid. Participants receive a two year certification. In partnership with Chris Nowinski, PhD, Co Founder and CEO of the Concussion & CTE Foundation, OVW will host an April Concussion Safety & CTE Prevention Training for talent and staff.”

These updates are being built into the system long term, with OVW confirming the training will become part of how new talent is developed. Medical coverage is also being strengthened, with more trained personnel set for larger events.

“This training will be added to the OVW Academy beginner syllabus moving forward. Through our partnership with Norton Healthcare, OVW will deploy additional trained medical staff at larger events on a case by case basis.”

Emergency preparedness is also being addressed, ensuring talent and staff are better equipped to act quickly in critical moments.

“Norton Healthcare will also provide CPR training for talent, staff, and contractors. In addition to referees and ring announcers being equipped with IFB in ear monitoring devices, our ringside timekeeper will now have a headset for fast, direct communication with the Director. This allows for immediate decisions to stop a match and check on the talent.”

The changes come after a key issue was exposed. When the referee went down, the usual communication chain broke, leading to delays in stopping the match. OVW has now reworked that system to avoid a repeat scenario.

Anthony Ogogo Reveals Scrapped Plans For Inner Circle And Blackpool Combat Club

Anthony Ogogo has revealed he nearly landed in two of AEW’s biggest factions before plans changed.

Speaking with ITR Wrestling, the former Olympic boxer said he was originally lined up to join Chris Jericho’s Inner Circle as a bodyguard, with Tony Khan keen for him to learn under Jericho. However, the role ultimately went in a different direction, with Jake Hager taking that spot instead.

“I was supposed to be Jericho’s bodyguard, part of his Inner Circle group. That was supposed to be me,” Ogogo said. “Tony Khan wanted me to work with Jericho and learn from him.”

Despite that not materialising, Ogogo praised Jericho’s mentorship behind the scenes.

“He was the learning tree, especially early on. I’d always ask questions and he’d give feedback, watch my matches and tell me what to do and what not to do. He knows how to get over, so I learned a lot from him.”

Ogogo debuted in AEW in 2021 after training with Cody Rhodes, QT Marshall and Dustin Rhodes, but revealed another major faction opportunity also slipped away.

He said he was being prepared to join what would become the Blackpool Combat Club, working closely with Bryan Danielson and William Regal before the group was officially formed.

“I was being groomed to join the Blackpool Combat Club before it became the Blackpool Combat Club, but it never really materialised,” he explained. “I trained with Danielson and Regal and put in all that work.”

Ogogo credited Regal for teaching him a traditional British wrestling style, while Danielson helped him understand how to truly connect with an audience.

“Regal taught me that old school British, tough big man style. Just because I wrestle strong doesn’t mean I can’t do the intricate stuff, it just hasn’t been needed yet.”

“He taught me so much, not just wrestling but how to get over. When something transcends outside wrestling, you know that person understands it. He’s a tremendous guy.”

Now 37, Ogogo recently returned to action at ROH TV tapings in Jacksonville, marking his first match since November and his first appearance for a Khan-owned promotion since August 2024.

Gabe Sapolsky Praises Allie Katch After Standout Indie Match

Gabe Sapolsky Praises Allie Katch After Standout Indie Match

WWE talent scout Gabe Sapolsky has singled out Allie Katch for major praise following her performance on the independent scene over the weekend.

Katch faced WWE ID Women’s Champion Laynie Luck at a Women’s Wrestling Revolution event in Massachusetts on Sunday, delivering a standout showing that caught Sapolsky’s attention. Watching from ringside, Sapolsky described the bout as one of the strongest independent matches he has seen since stepping into his current WWE role.

He also pointed to Katch’s overall development, noting how far she has come in recent years.

“Much respect to Allie Katch,” Sapolsky wrote. “Incredible WWE ID match vs. Laynie Luck at WWR yesterday. One of the most improved talents I’ve ever seen.”

At 32, Katch has built a solid reputation across the independent circuit, most notably with Game Changer Wrestling. Her momentum was halted in January 2025 when she suffered a broken leg during GCW’s Hammerstein Ballroom event, forcing her to spend a significant portion of the year sidelined.

Despite coming up short in Sunday’s match, Luck retained her WWE ID Women’s Championship and later voiced her support for Katch, urging WWE to bring her into the program.

Sapolsky, a former ROH booker and founder of the original Evolve promotion, now serves WWE as a domestic talent scout and creative consultant. His work includes involvement with the WWE ID initiative and the weekly WWE Evolve series.

Katch’s performance comes at a time when WWE continues to expand its ID program, with recent signings including Notorious Mimi, Valentina Rossi, Fallyn Gray, and Airica Demia.

WWE Raw Results 3/23 – Intercontinental Championship Up For Grabs, The Vision Takes On The Usos & More

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.’s live coverage for “WWE Raw” on March 23, 2026, coming to you live from the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts!

Although the issues between himself and his now former stablemate Finn Balor have been on the rise over the past couple of weeks, Dominik Mysterio of Judgment Day will have to refocus his sights tonight as he challenges Penta for the Intercontinental Championship. Not only did Penta previously dethroned Dominik as Intercontinental Champion on the March 2 edition of “Raw”, but he also retained his title against Dragon Lee during last Monday’s episode of “Raw” after vowing to be a fighting champion.

Austin Theory and Logan Paul of The Vision will be joining focus with one another to take on reigning World Tag Team Champions Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso in a non-title match. All four men and The Usos’ ally LA Knight came face-to-face with one another on the March 9 episode of “Raw” during a conversation between “Raw” General Manager Adam Pearce and former leader of The Vision Seth Rollins.

World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk and 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns met with one another in the closing moments of last Monday’s show in a tense verbal altercation that turned physical with one another as they prepare to square off for Punk’s title at WrestleMania 42. Elsewhere on last Monday’s show, Becky Lynch blindsided AJ Lee with an attack moments after she had retained her Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Bayley while Oba Femi answered Brock Lesnar’s WrestleMania 42 Open Challenge and left him laid out with Fall From Grace. Following their respective events from last Monday’s show, Punk, Reigns, Lynch, and Lesnar are all set to be making appearances on tonight’s show.

Je’Von Evans will be going head-to-head with Grayson Waller in what will mark Waller’s first match on “Raw” since taking part in a Number One Contenders Battle Royal that was eventually won by the aforementioned Jey on the October 20, 2025 episode of “Raw”. Waller’s ally Kofi Kingston has made an effort to recruit Evans to be part of New Day over the course of the past couple of weeks, but Evans outright declined his offer last Monday before Waller was cursed by Danhausen.

Additionally, the aforementioned Bayley will be teaming up with her ally Lyra Valkyria to take on The Kabuki Warriors’ Asuka and Kairi Sane following a backstage verbal confrontation between them last Monday.
