In heartbreaking news, during a recent live signing with Bret Hart, Ring of Honor founder Rob Feinstein shared the sad news with the WWE legend that his former 90s rival Bob Backlund has dementia. Details regarding which stage of dementia 74-year-old Backlund is dealing with weren’t disclosed, although it was noted that having lived in Connecticut for many years, he now lives with his sister in Florida, seemingly confirming he needs assistance. Backlund started as an amateur wrestler, winning the Division II NCAA Championship at 190 pounds in 1971. From there, he began training with Eddie Sharkey and made his professional wrestling debut in 1973...

In happy but unforeseen news, NXT’s Eddy Thorpe has announced via a series of photos on Instagram that he is in a relationship with Dakota Kai. When the pair first began dating remains unknown, although this seemingly ends the speculation that Kai is dating fellow Raw star Shayna Baszler, with that rumor previously being a big talking point on social media. 36-year-old Kai, real name Cheree Crowley, first worked for WWE in 2015 and signed a contract with the promotion the following year. From there, she would become an NXT regular and looked set for big things before being unexpectedly released in 2022. Nevertheless, her time away from the company would be short, as after Triple H took over creative and talent relations, one of his first actions would be to re-sign the Kiwi and unite her with Bayley and Iyo Sky to form the original version of Damage CTRL.

Following Adam Copeland’s AEW debut at WrestleDream, the former WWE star would be asked during the post-show media scrum whether his wife, Beth Phoenix, would be joining him. Yet, while Copeland couldn’t confirm this, he would say, “I love being around her,” seemingly indicating he would be open to it. And it now appears there is a genuine possibility of this happening, as PWInsider.com has reported Phoenix is no longer contracted to WWE. 43-year-old Phoenix is nowadays best known for being Copeland’s wife, although she was a top WWE in-ring performer herself between 2006 and 2012. During that time, she won the WWE Women’s Championship three times and the Divas Championship once, which led to her being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2017. She would then come out of retirement in 2019 and occasionally teamed up with Natalya before joining NXT as a commentator later that year. However, despite being a natural behind the announce desk, she would give up this spot to focus on her family commitments while wrestling a couple of mixed tag team matches alongside her husband.
