PWInsider reported that A. J. Styles was at the WWE Performance Center on Tuesday.

NXT posted a video on social media showing Shawn Michaels, Matt Bloom, and Robert Stone talking about recent main roster call-ups, hinting that new faces will be coming to NXT from EVOLVE and elsewhere.

Recent additions to the WWE Vault include Shawn Michaels vs. Diesel from “In Your House: Good Friends, Better Enemies”.

Jake Boulder recently competed in the Texas Parasports competitions. He won gold medals for javelin, shot put, 100 meter dash, and long jump, and a silver medal for discus.

Brock Rechsteiner, son of Scott Steiner, has signed with the Tennessee Titans as an undrafted free agent following the NFL Draft. The former Jacksonville State wide receiver will now compete for a roster spot ahead of the 2026 season, continuing the Steiner family’s sporting legacy. Rechsteiner is part of a well-known wrestling lineage, though it remains unclear if he will eventually transition into professional wrestling.

Shawn Conners of SLAM! Wrestling wrote a story entitled “Ric Flair Shares Wild Road Stories Involving Curt Hennig And The Undertaker”, which you can read by clicking here.

Oklafan congratulates Luke Langley on his marriage to his new wife Amy last week.

Oklafan extends condolences to Ryan Foley on the passing of his father Phillip on April 30th.
