Candice Michelle Thinks TNA Role Will Lead To Comeback

It was revealed earlier in March after weeks of rumors that former WWE Women’s Champion Candice Michelle had returned to professional wrestling by the way of a new job at TNA. The company posted a video to social media showing Michelle signing a contract alongside Tommy Dreamer and TNA President Carlos Silva. No further details were made available at the time, but in a new interview on “Insight with Chris Van Vliet,” Michelle revealed that Dreamer offered her a spot as an agent.

“It was like, ‘Come and shadow me the first weekend, and the next weekend, you’ll be an agent,'” she explained. “All I could think about is like, ‘That is wrestling.’ ‘We’re going to see if you’re going to survive or not and if you can do it or not and throw them to the wolves. I was like, ‘Okay. Let’s go. I’m back.”

The former WWE Diva said that while she hasn’t been wrestling for the last 20 years, it doesn’t mean she hasn’t been doing the work. She left WWE in June 2009 and wrestled her retirement match on the independent scene, a victory over the former Victoria, Lisa Marie Vachon, in 2017. Michelle believes that this backstage role in TNA could lead to more.

“I think that this initial call was my hope spot,” she said. “I think it’s going to lead into my comeback… I was at WrestleCon and I was doing an appearance and my promotor had Dustin [Rhodes] on. Something [in me] said, ‘Go up to him and tell him you want to wrestle again…’ I just feel it coming. I don’t know when it’s coming, but it’s coming.”

Kyle Fletcher Suffers Apparent Injury During AEW Collision Match

During the March 28 2026 episode of AEW Collision, TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher teamed with Mark Davis to score a victory over The Rascals, Zachary Wentz and Dezmond Xavier.

However, the win may have come at a cost.

Following the match, Bryan Alvarez noted that Fletcher appeared to be dealing with a legitimate injury. He shared that Fletcher left the show wearing a walking boot, adding, “Kyle Fletcher left the show tonight in a walking boot. Whatever the injury is, it’s legit. Hoping for the best.”

The injury seemingly occurred during a rough moment in the match when Fletcher’s knee collided with the back of Davis as both men went down, forcing his leg into an awkward landing.

Despite the scare, Fletcher pushed through and finished the bout, with Davis picking up the decisive pinfall for their team.

AEW Stars First Team To Hold WWE, TNA And TJPW Tag Gold

The IInspiration have added another major milestone to their tag team legacy.

Since forming in WWE NXT in 2015, Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay have remained a constant force in women’s tag team wrestling, capturing gold across multiple promotions. Now, they’ve made history once again.

At Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling’s Grand Princess 26 event inside Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, The IInspiration defeated Ober Eats to win the Princess Tag Team Titles in just their second match for the promotion.

With the victory, Lee and McKay become the first team to hold the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles, TNA Knockouts Tag Team Titles and TJPW Princess Tag Team Titles.

Both stars reacted on social media following the win. Lee wrote, “Global sensations! Worldwide phenomenons!” while McKay added, “Worldwide phenomenons!! Global sensations!! History makers!!”

Attention now turns to AEW, where another piece of history could be within reach. No team has yet held women’s tag team gold across AEW, WWE and TNA.

Despite a rough start in AEW that saw them lose their TV debut in under two minutes, The IInspiration have quickly bounced back with a Ring of Honor victory and now carry fresh momentum following their latest title win.

1950s Wrestlers Lou Thesz and Bob Orton Sr. Really Said Let Me Invent The Powerbomb Early

1950s Wrestlers Lou Thesz and Bob Orton Sr. Really Said Let Me Invent The Powerbomb Early

A fascinating piece of wrestling history is making the rounds online, as resurfaced footage appears to show both Lou Thesz and Bob Orton Sr. using a move resembling a powerbomb decades before it became widely recognised.

The clips, reportedly dating back to 1951 and 1953, have sparked debate among fans, with many pointing out just how ahead of their time the sequences look. While the term “powerbomb” would not enter wrestling vocabulary until much later, the mechanics of the move on display bear a striking resemblance to what modern audiences associate with it today.

In one clip, Orton delivers a high-impact slam that drew praise from viewers for its intensity, with some describing it as having a “real crunch” on impact. Meanwhile, Thesz, widely regarded as one of the pioneers of professional wrestling, is shown executing a similarly structured maneuver that has reignited discussion about the evolution of in-ring offense.

The footage has also led to some playful criticism, particularly aimed at the officiating. One fan joked about the referee’s slow count, comparing it to famously laid-back counts seen in later eras. Others questioned whether the moves should technically be classified as powerbombs at all, highlighting how wrestling terminology and move definitions have evolved over time.

What Happened To Tough Enough Standout Greg Whitmoyer After Early Exit?

What Happened To Tough Enough Standout Greg Whitmoyer After Early Exit?

A resurfaced discussion on Reddit has reignited interest in one of the more forgotten names from early reality-era WWE, as fans revisited the story of “Mr. Good Snap” from the original WWE Tough Enough.

The thread, posted on r/SquaredCircle, centered around Greg Whitmoyer, a contestant who caught attention during the first season of Tough Enough and even received praise from Paul Levesque during a visit to the trainees. While he showed promise at the time, Whitmoyer ultimately disappeared from the mainstream spotlight, leaving many fans wondering what happened next.

According to longtime viewers in the discussion, Whitmoyer was seen as one of the standout prospects during the competition. However, his momentum came to an abrupt halt after he was forced to leave the show due to herniated discs, cutting short what many believed could have been a successful run.

One user summed up the sentiment, noting that he “looked like he had a good shot of winning” before the injury forced him out. That exit ultimately paved the way for Maven Huffman to win the competition, altering the trajectory of WWE’s early reality-based talent pipeline.

Despite the setback, Whitmoyer did not step away from wrestling entirely. Fans pointed out that he later competed on the independent scene under the name Greg Matthews, working for promotions such as Combat Zone Wrestling and holding tag team championships during his run. His in-ring career is believed to have continued until around 2010.

The thread also highlighted just how memorable his brief time on television was, with fans still quoting moments and inside jokes from the show more than two decades later. While much of the comment section leaned into humor and nostalgia, the overall takeaway was clear: Whitmoyer remains one of Tough Enough’s biggest “what if” stories.

With renewed interest sparked by the viral discussion, his story serves as a reminder of how quickly careers can change in wrestling, especially when opportunity and timing collide with injury.
