The Scoop

Posted: Apr 19th 2026 By: Compiled by Oklafan Staff

NEWS
Exodus Prime announced his impending retirement via social media last week: “I’m for real. This is my farewell tour. It was a fun ride but I’ve done everything I’m capable of doing and I don’t bring anything that thousands of other people bring. Finishing out this year then I’m done. I held on as long as I could.”

TNA legend O. D. B. says she is pushing for a one-off WWE or NXT appearance through TNA’s partnership, as she enters what is being described as her final run. Speaking with SoCal Val via WrestlingNews.co, O. D. B. noted she has spent almost her entire career with TNA Wrestling and hopes to add at least one WWE appearance before retiring.

WWE might be looking to call up Ricky Saints, Ethan Page, Blake Monroe, and Jacy Jayne to the main roster after “WrestleMania”.

Demolition (Ax & Smash), A. J. Styles, Dennis Rodman, Stephanie McMahon, Sid Vicious, and Bad News Brown were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on Friday night. During their speech, Demolition thanked the late Mr. Fuji and their late 3rd partner Crush (Brian Adams). They were inducted by Arn Anderson, Haku, and The Warlord. Styles was inducted by The Good Brothers (Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows). Rodman was inducted by Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman. McMahon was inducted by her mother Linda McMahon and her daughters, Aurora, Murphy, and Vaughn Levesque. Vicious and Brown were inducted posthumously and while their families were present and acknowledged, they did not give traditional acceptance speeches. Also inducted as an Immortal Moment was Hulk Hogan bodyslamming Andre the Giant in their match at “WrestleMania III”, and Nick Hogan, son of Hulk, Robin Christensen-Roussimoff, daughter of Andre, and Jimmy Hart were recognized and acknowledged.

SLAM! Wrestling has posted the latest column written by Talos entitled “The True Tall Tales of Talos: Being and Beating The Best”, which you can read by clicking here.

Jake Hager won his debut in Power Slap on Friday with a brutal knockout of his opponent Devin “Big Jinx” Jenkins in the third round. After the finish, Hager stared directly into the camera and shouted, "F**k Tony Khan!" The moment drew instant attention online, given Hager's well-documented frustrations with the AEW president following his 2024 departure from the company. Hager, formerly known to fans as Jack Swagger while in WWE, also performed his signature "We the People" salute throughout the appearance, leaning into his pro wrestling roots while debuting in an entirely different combat sports arena.
