Samoa Joe has been away from AEW television due to an injury that he sustained whilst training. Early last month, there was no indication whether he’d be back any time soon per reports at the time, however, Joe himself has recently given an update on his road to recovery.

“We’ll be back at AEW sooner than later,” Joe proclaimed during a panel appearance with “Monopoly Events,” while eluding to having a “few other things” he can’t talk about coming up in his life and career outside of pro wrestling. He last wrestled on the January 21 episode of “AEW Dynamite,” the week after he and The Opps lost their AEW World Trios Championship to Jet Set Rodeo.

The 46-year-old doesn’t have any illusions about where he is with his career. In an interview with “SHAK Wrestling,” Joe admitted that his current deal with AEW is most likely his last pro wrestling contract. The former AEW World Champion expressed that he doesn’t want to overstay his welcome in the industry, especially after a 25-year-long career. At the same time, Joe noted that there’s also the reality of his body, and the toll it’s taken over decades.

On July 24th, 2025, news broke that pro wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan suddenly passed away at the age of 71. In the months following, Hogan’s once-estranged daughter, Brooke Hogan, began to publicly speak about her father and their relationship, often tackling difficult topics like the matter of his death.

Professionally, Brooke has had a career in music, and has now turned her grief about her father into a new song titled “Wanna Go Back,” her first single in two years, set for release this week, March 13th per “ET.” In the clip released via “ET,” the lyrics describe Hogan as Brooke’s “world” and while she expresses that her father lied to her and hurt her, she still cries for him to come back to her.

Over the years, Brooke and Hogan’s relationship faced several public controversies, but at the time of his death it was revealed that she was cut out of his will. While many assumed that their relationship was broken, Brooke has since claimed that she asked to be removed, not because of her father or his third wife, Skye Daily, but because of the alleged ties Daily had to Scientology and Brooke being pregnant at the time.

Hogan also notably didn’t attend his daughter’s wedding in 2022, and while Brooke didn’t invite her mother Linda, she actually wanted her father there. Like with the aforementioned controversy, Brooke also clarified that her father claimed he simply didn’t want to attend another wedding nor funeral, and even regretted having children.

Recently-retired WWE star AJ Styles has discussed his retirement and if he may desire to get back in the ring again.

Styles said goodbye to the squared circle at the Royal Rumble, where he lost his last match against Gunther. While speaking on “The Phenomenally Retro Podcast,” Styles was asked if he may have the itch to return to the ring once again.

“I don’t know [if he may want to retire again]. I mean, it’s hard to know something like that because there’s always that fear of not being you. And that’s what I feared the most. And I would imagine that’s what most guys who’ve done well in their career fear the most, is like, I just don’t want to embarrass myself. You know, I want to be that same guy that they remember. And everybody thinks they’re going to get that guy. It’s just not going to happen. It’s not going to be the match that you think you’re going to get. It’s just not there. It’s not the same anymore,” he said. 

“The Phenomenal One,” who said he retired before embarrassing himself, added that he didn’t want to be a pale imitation of himself in the ring. He’s proud that he could pull off some impressive moves even in his final match against Gunther, and is happy he went out on a high.

“I think I do what I can in the ring that I knew that I could do perfect. I mean, I hit a 450 in my last match. Doesn’t that mean anything to anybody? And it was pretty freaking clean — and I’m 48. I’m okay with that. I’m okay with that being the last thing that you remember, like, this freaking guy was still hitting some crazy moves,” said Styles.

While Styles has firmly set his mind on retirement, WWE legend Bully Ray isn’t convinced that the match against Gunther will be the last time fans see Styles don his wrestling boots, as he believes the former champion still has more matches in him.

It has not been the easiest last few years for former ECW, TNA, WCW, and WWE star Raven, as he’s continued to battle Parkinson’s Disease. But his fight against it has given him a new perspective, and allowed him to come to terms with certain elements of his wrestling career, and his lack of interest in wrestling over the last few decades. It has also potentially opened the door for him to continue it in a non-wrestling role if a recent tease is any indication.

Taking to X on Monday morning, Raven revealed that he had been at TNA’s tapings in Atlanta, Georgia this past Friday. But the more important information seemed to come from the photo Raven posted with the tweet, which showed him sitting on a throne, with long-time TNA star Rosemary to his left and former TNA/AEW star Allie, aka The Bunny, to his right.

The photo has led to speculation that Raven could be making a return to TNA as an onscreen character, managing the duo of Rosemary and Allie, who were allies and later rivals during Allie’s stint with TNA in the late 2010s. Whether this is a future creative direction or was a photo taken while Raven was visiting TNA’s tapings remains a mystery; neither he, Rosemary, nor Allie are said to have appeared onscreen during TNA’s Atlanta tapings, though they could’ve appeared in segments recorded backstage.

In addition to Raven, speculation will turn towards Allie’s status with TNA and wrestling in general. The veteran seemingly retired after departing AEW back in 2023, but began training for a return in 2025 before making appearances at TNA Border Brawl as Team Canada’s coach. She later made her official in-ring return for Evil Uno’s Mystery Wrestling in September, teaming with old partner Penelope Ford.
