Liv Morgan Parodies “Hawk Tuah Girl” Meme
If you’ve spent any time on social media in recent weeks, you’ve likely stumbled across Hailey Welch, now forever known as Hawk Tuah Girl. She would be named this after a clip of her saying, “Oh, you gotta give him that hawk tuah, and spit on that thang,” went viral, and a meme was subsequently born. And now, using this to garner attention, for herself and WWE, Liv Morgan has shared her own video on X, where she mocks this by giving the hawk tuah to her championship belt. Since becoming an internet sensation, Hawk Tuah Girl has started cashing in on her fame, having partnered with Tennessee-based Fathead Threads, where she is selling signed “Hawk Tuah ’24 Spit On That Thang” merchandise. And while it isn’t known how many items have been sold, the sheer number of comments and the immense popularity the meme has gained suggests she could be set for a large payday.
MJF Reveals Why He Opted To Re-Sign With AEW
MJF returned to AEW at Double or Nothing after missing five months due to injury and would share wrestling’s worst-kept secret that he had re-signed with the promotion. And now, having wrestled his first match since December during this week’s episode of Dynamite against Rush, the 28-year-old has disclosed during an interview with Fox 5 in New York why he opted to re-sign with AEW. Noting that, in addition to Tony Khan paying him a massive amount of money, which most presumed, he also feels that AEW has the best wrestlers in the world. MJF’s pro wrestling journey began in 2015, and he would attempt to accelerate his career through WWE’s Tough Enough, although he wasn’t selected. Despite this, he wouldn’t be put off, and he honed his skills on the indie circuit before joining MLW and then AEW. Subsequently, his charisma, mic skills, and ability to blur the line between reality and storylines propelled him up the ranks in Khan’s promotion. With notable feuds with wrestling icons like Jon Moxley, Chris Jericho, and CM Punk going on to solidify his status as a true main event star.
Speculated Reason Jacob Fatu’s WWE Debut Took So Long To Happen
Jacob Fatu finished with MLW this past February, and it was noted just before WrestleMania XL that WWE had signed him. However, while he has now made his debut during this week’s SmckDown, taking out Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens, the reason for the delay has sparked curiosity. And now, a likely cause for this wait has been speculated by Fightful Select, who suggested his criminal record, which would have prevented him from attending Backlash in France or Clash at the Castle In Scotland, was the potential reason. 32-year-old Fatu broke into the business back in 2012 after being trained by his uncle Rikishi, and since then, he has slowly been building up his reputation on the indies and MLW. Still, it’s understood that some larger promotions were put off using the father of seven due to his aforementioned criminal record, which saw him incarcerated for six years as an 18-year-old for robbery.
The Man Many Hold Responsible For The Demise Of WCW Has Died
The demise of WCW is currently a hot topic of conversation among wrestling fans online, thanks to the Vine docuseries “Who Killed WCW?” taking fans back to the turbulent days of the now-defunct promotion. This has seen many of the biggest names in the industry at the time blamed, including Eric Bischoff, Vince Russo, and Hulk Hogan. However, many hold former Turner Broadcasting executive Jamie Kellner ultimately responsible as he canceled the programming. Yet before the series concludes and hopefully definitively answers the long-asked question, Variety has sadly reported that Kellner passed away at his home in Montecito, California, on...
Paige VanZant’s Next Career Move Announced
Former UFC fighter Paige VanZant looked to have everything needed for a successful career in pro wrestling due to her athleticism, toughness, and charisma. However, after only wrestling one match for AEW, she began skipping her training sessions with former WWE star Gangrel, and it was recently confirmed that she had departed the company. And now, just weeks after she struggled to a split decision draw with adult actress Elle Brooke in a boxing match, it has been announced on social media that she is set to compete in Power Slap on June 28. For those unaware, UFC chief executive officer Dana White owns Power Slap, and it originally aired on TBS following AEW Dynamite. Yet because it couldn’t keep wrestling fans from tuning out, it would soon be canceled and now airs on the streaming platform Rumble. Yet despite being so readily available, it still struggles to do significant numbers, as even combat sports fans find it too brutal, with neurologist Nikolas Evangelou calling it a “recipe for disaster.“
Matt Hardy Reveals Who He Holds Responsible For The Hardys’ Lackluster AEW Run
When Jeff Hardy joined his brother Matt in AEW, it appeared to be the perfect place for them to have their final run as a tag team. This was because AEW takes tag team wrestling seriously, and given the brothers’ ages and the fact they have families, they would be working fewer dates and be on the road less. However, after Jeff was arrested for DUI, he would be suspended without pay and ordered to attend rehab. Thankfully, Jeff managed to get his demons under control and returned to AEW television, although neither he nor Matt was ever pushed as strongly...
Nick Hogan Sentenced For 2023 DUI Arrest.
In November 2023, news broke that Hulk Hogan’s son, Nick, had been arrested in the early hours in Clearwater, Florida. The former reality TV star was apparently on his way home from a bikini contest at his father’s restaurant and was pulled over by police after being clocked doing 51 miles per hour in a 40 miles per hour zone. He would then be booked under the suspicion of driving under the influence after he refused to take part in a sobriety test. Subsequently, he would plead not guilty, with it reported that he told police officers that the alcohol...
Blink 182 Pays Tribute To WWE Hall Of Famer
One of the most iconic entrances in wrestling history belongs to The Undertaker. An ominous gong signifies the arrival of “The Deadman,” and the eerie church organs/funeral procession music accompany his slow march to the ring. Pop-punk rockers Blink 182 kicked off their “One More Time” tour earlier this week in Orlando, Florida. The band paid tribute to “The Phenom” by using his entrance music as they took the stage shrouded in darkness. Video of the band’s entrance can be viewed below. Late last year, AEW star Billie Starkz shared that she hoped to someday use the band’s song, “Aliens Exist,” as her entrance music. “Dear @blink182, Please give me permission to use Aliens Exist for my entrance music everywhere,” Starkz wrote. “Also, would be really cool if you could do it live some time for me. Thanks.” Given AEW head Tony Khan’s frequent licensing of music for his stars, it seems a pretty good possibility that this could become a reality at some point.
More Information Reported Regarding Kayla Braxton’s Upcoming WWE Departure
On Saturday, WWE backstage interviewer Kayla Braxton took to social media to announce that she is departing the company following next week’s episode of SmackDown. And while she wouldn’t share details regarding her plans, Fightful Select has since reported that she has been working under a verbal agreement, and that AEW has been made aware of her employment status. There had recently been speculation regarding the 33-year-old’s future with the company after she updated her X username to include her legal name. Yet, no further information was available at the time, and fans quickly moved on. However, it now appears her next career move could be outside of the wrestling industry, as whether AEW would be interested in hiring her is unclear, given that they only just signed Alicia Atout.
Violent J Explains Why He Put CM Punk On Blast
On Monday afternoon, Violent J of the Insane Clown Posse shocked pro wrestling fans when he posted a profanity-filled tirade against CM Punk on Instagram. At the time, what had set the rapper off wasn’t known; however, he has now explained during an interview with AdFreeShows.com that he had been scrolling social media while at the airport and stumbled across Punk’s past comments from All Out and simply decided, “F*ck this guy.“ Violent J, along with his ICP partner Shaggy 2 Dope, started out backyard wrestling before forming their controversial musical double-act. Subsequently, they leveraged their popularity and fame into working for multiple wrestling promotions, including WWE, WCW, ECW, and TNA. Additionally, in 1999, they started their own promotion, Juggalo Championship Wrestling, which still runs shows, with their last event taking place last Halloween and featuring talents including Joey Janela, Enzo Amore, and Mad Man Pondo.
Chris Jericho Discusses His Relationship With Hulk Hogan
Earlier this year, Chris Jericho talked about what it was like to work with Hulk Hogan. Jericho chatted with author Brad Balukjian (“The Six Pack: On The Road in Search of Wrestlemania”) for an episode of “Talk Is Jericho” about working with the wrestling icon when the pair were together in the WWE. On a new episode of “Talk Is Jericho” that dropped earlier this week, Jericho chatted with “Dark Side Of The Ring” creators Evan Husney and Jason Eisener about their new Vice series, “Who Killed WCW?” Jericho elaborated on his current relationship with Hogan and also revealed what...

What’s Known About Lio Rush’s Current AEW Status
At the end of May, Lio Rush returned to AEW after a three-year absence to participate in a Casino Gauntlet Match on Dynamite, also featuring stars like Will Ospreay, Claudio Castagnoli, and Orange Cassidy. Yet, while Rush would be unsuccessful during this match, he has since wrestled three more times for the promotion leading to speculation that he may have re-signed with the company. And now Fightful Select has shared an update with their subscribers, revealing they’re not sure of his actual contract status but confirmed he is expected to be a regular for the promotion from now on. The majority of pro wrestling fans are most familiar with 29-year-old Rush for his time in WWE, where he held the NXT Cruiserweight Championship and even managed Bobby Lashley. Still, his career suffered after he developed a reputation for getting backstage heat due to alleged attitude problems. This, along with injuries and mental health struggles, saw him announce his retirement from the business on more than one occasion. However, he appears to be in a good place currently, paving the way for him to finally reach his full potential.
