There Is Speculation That WWE Star Is Pregnant Following Instagram Bio Update
Bianca Belair is a major WWE’s biggest star and is one-half of their Women’s Tag Team Champions alongside Jade Cargill. However, after her husband Montez Ford updated his Instagram bio to say he has three children instead of the two from a previous relationship, speculation commenced online that Belair is pregnant. Of course, this is far from confirmed, and Ford has since removed this update, although, with Belair set to wrestle Tiffany Stratton on this week’s SmackDown, it should soon become apparent if she is or isn’t depending on whether the match takes place. 35-year-old Belair joined WWE in 2016 and quickly rose through the company despite having no prior wrestling experience to become a world champion. And while she has had numerous memorable moments, her most notable achievement has been headlining the first night of WrestleMania 37 against Sasha Banks.
System Of A Down Singer Reveals Why He Wanted To Leave Band
System Of A Down fans have been hoping for new material from the band for a long time. The band’s singer Serj Tankian revealed, however, that he’s been the one holding things back. An excerpt from his autobiography “Down With the System: A Memoir (Of Sorts)” states that the rest of the band “were always pushing to do more with System Of A Down,” but the singer “didn’t really want to tour.” “Even when the band was making new music, I didn’t find the life cycle of a major-label artist particularly satisfying,” he wrote. “We’d typically spend six months writing,...
Carmella Comments On Returning To The Ring Following Traumatic Childbirth
In November 2023, Carmella gave birth to an 8lb baby boy called Dimitri Paul following a 60-hour labor. Obviously, she and the father, WWE commentator Corey Graves, were delighted, especially considering they previously lost a baby to an ectopic pregnancy. However, she would subsequently disclose that she was suffering from nerve damage, which resulted in fans being concerned about her ability to return to the ring. And now, while appearing on The Nikki & Brie Show, she has gone into additional detail, revealing the condition she has is called drop foot, which occurred when she herniated discs in her back while giving birth. Yet, she would confirm she still hopes to return to the ring, even if it’s just to prove to herself that she can. Carmella and Graves tied the knot in April 2022, having started dating three years earlier. Dimitri Paul is their first child together, with Graves already having three from a prior marriage. Initially, there was some controversy surrounding their relationship, as Graves’ ex-wife claimed on social media that the WWE talents started dating while they were still married. Yet, it would later be established that this was inaccurate, and Graves was single and had already initiated divorce proceedings.
Tammy Sytch Reveals Worrying Health Condition That Has Her Fearing She’ll Die In Prison
In November 2023, Sunny, real name Tammy Sytch, was sentenced to 17 years in prison with 8 years probation following the DUI manslaughter death of Julian Lasseterthe the prior year. As things stand, her official release is scheduled for January 2040, although it turns out the disgraced WWE Hall of Famer is concerned she won’t make it to then. That is because while speaking to TMZ, the diabetic has revealed she is suffering from a blood clot in her leg and is struggling to get medical treatment. 51-year-old Sunny was among the top wrestling stars of the 90s thanks to her good looks and charisma. However, her career was ruined due to a drug and alcohol addiction. Subsequently, she would be plagued by legal issues, often stemming from her struggle with both substances, which saw her arrested more than a dozen times between 2012 and 2022.
Chris Jericho Picks His Top 3 Brian Johnson-Era AC/DC Albums
AC/DC is set to kick off their European tour on Friday night in Germany. The band returned to the live stage for the first time in around seven years last fall at the Power Trip festival in California, and fans are excited to see their regular return to the live circuit. In 2020, I started a book on AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson. I won’t bore you with the details of why it didn’t end up happening, but I farmed out several of the book’s chapters to various publications, and some have also appeared here on Web Is Jericho. When I...
Confirmation Of Eddie Kingston’s Injury After He Was Pulled From AEW’s Upcoming Anarchy In The Arena Match
During last weekend’s NJPW Strong Resurgence pay-per-view, Eddie Kingston lost his Openweight Title to Gabe Kidd. Yet, after the contest, few fans were talking about the bout or even the post-match angle with The Young Bucks, but the fact Kingston was obviously injured after his legs collided with the guardrail during the finish. Subsequently, this would result in AEW announcing he was out of their upcoming Anarchy in the Arena match at Double or Nothing, and now Dave Meltzer has reported in his Wrestling Observer Newsletter that it’s believed Kingston broke his leg. 42-year-old Kingston began wrestling in 2002 and quickly became a well-known and popular independent wrestler. Yet, up until signing with AEW, he never managed to fulfill his potential, and at one point, it’s known he even considered selling his boots and quitting the business altogether. However, in 2020, Tony Khan would give him an opportunity in AEW, and he has since proven what he can do both on the mic and in the ring.
The Real Reason Ivar Was Written Off WWE Television Has Been Revealed
During this week’s episode of NXT, Josh Briggs, Wes Lee, and Ivar were attacked by the returning Gallus faction, and WWE subsequently announced on social media that Ivar had suffered an injury. This revelation concerned many fans, although many did suspect it was part of a storyline. And that has now been confirmed by Dave Meltzer in his Wrestling Observer Newsletter, with it noted that it was done to give the former tag team specialist a break. 40-year-old Ivar, real name Todd Smith, first made his name in Ring of Honor and New Japan alongside regular tag partner Erik before signing with WWE in 2018. Yet, with Erik currently sidelined due to having neck fusion surgery, Ivar has recently become a singles competitor, working against the likes of Sami Zayn, Sheamus, and Ricochet over the past few months and impressing fans in the process.
Confirmation Of Whether Tiffany Stratton Is In Trouble With WWE For Her Racist Instagram Post
Earlier this week, Tiffany Stratton caused outrage on social media when she shared a short video via her Instagram Stories, which showed her hitting Jade Cargill and a voice saying, “black b*tch.” And while she would quickly delete this, it was obviously saved an re-shared by many fans who were both appalled and disappointed with the WWE star. Subsequently, speculation would commence that WWE may punish the 25-year-old for her lack of judgment. However, it appears that won’t be the case, with PWInsider.com reporting that she is “absolutely not in trouble” and “she remains on good footing” with the company. The former bodybuilder and gymnast broke into the business back in 2021, initially training with Greg Gagne, the son of the legendary AWA promoter Verne Gagne, before signing with WWE. From there, she was initially featured on NXT television, but thanks to her charisma, athleticism, and good looks, she was fast-tracked to the main roster and looks set to be a massive star.

Ex-KISS Guitarist Says “Missed Opportunity” At Band’s Finale Was “Terrible”
KISS concluded their “End of the Road” world tour last December marking the end of the band as a touring entity — at least for the time being. KISS has had a few members come and go throughout the years, but outside of the original lineup perhaps no ex-KISS player has been more important that guitarist Bruce Kulick. Kulick has consistently flown the flag for the non-makeup era of KISS, and he’s even guested with the band in recent years on the KISS Kruise. In a new interview with Chaoszine, Kulick talked about KISS’ final shows at Madison Square Garden,...
Damage CTRL’s Asuka Confirms WWE Hiatus
The Kabuki Warriors, featuring Asuka and Kairi Sane, lost their WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships to Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill at Backlash. Since then, Asuka has been absent from the ring, with Dakota Kai having taken her place in the WWE’s Queen of the Ring tournament. And now, in her latest YouTube video, the Japanese star has announced she is taking a break to address her injured knee. The duration of her absence remains a mystery, but hopefully, she’ll be back sooner rather than later. Two months ago, during an episode of SmackDown, Asuka joined the rest of Damage CTR in attacking Bayley to close the show. However, the big talking point afterward wasn’t the beatdown but the fact that Asuka was noticeably limping. At the time, it was believed her WrestleMania XL match was at risk, although after skipping a couple of live events, she would be able to compete at WWE’s biggest show of the year, seemingly thanks to her determination and toughness.
Bodycam Footage Released Of Liv Morgan’s Arrest
Back in December Liv Morgan was arrested in Florida for possession of both marijuana and synthetic cannabinoids. At the time there was some nervousness aong fans that this could affect her WWE career. However that wasn’t the case and the matter would be quickly resolved, with her being fined just $543. Yet her arrest is now back in the news again after the Law & Crime Network released the bodycam footage of her arrest, which can be viewed below. 29-year-old Morgan, real name Gionna Daddio signed with WWE in 2014 and after several years of hard work, she would become one of their most popular female talents. This led to her being rewarded with a run as WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion after winning Money In The Bank and cashing in on Ronda Rousey. And now she could be set to win her second world championship at WWE’s King and Queen of the Ring with her being Becky Lynch’s opponent at WWE’s next premium live event later this month.

Marilyn Manson Is Officially Back
Earlier this year, Five Finger Death Punch announced a tour that would feature shock rocker Marilyn Manson as support. FFDP guitarist Zoltan Bathory said Manson has been “sober and clean” following numerous legal battles alleging his abuse of women. Manson countersued in some cases and several other lawsuits against him were dismissed. “If you’re struggling, man, don’t give up,” Bathory said comparing Manson’s recovery to that of his brother as well as FFDP singer Ivan Moody. “You can come back from that. And Manson is sober and he’s staying clean and doing the work, so also we’re supporting that. So it’s gonna...
Former Bad Wolves Frontman Arrested
Bad Wolves formed in 2017 and found success quickly with a cover of the Cranberries’ “Zombie” as well as their own chart-toppers “Remember When,” “Killing Me Slowly” and “Sober.” In early 2021, the band’s original singer, Tommy Vext, left the band resulting in a legal battle over use of the band’s name and songs. A public back-and-forth has commenced pretty much ever since, but Vext now finds himself in legal trouble after being arrested last weekend on a misdemeanor charge of threatening. As reported by Loudwire: “Per the Gila County Sheriff’s Office, the 42-year-old musician was arrested at 8:33AM on...
Former WCW Star Has Been Hospitalized
In concerning news, The Hannibal TV, a YouTube wrestling channel run by Canadian pro wrestler Devon Nicholson, has reported that former WCW wrestler and booker Kevin Sullivan has been hospitalized. The exact nature of the 74-year-old’s condition, which has necessitated emergency surgery, hasn’t been disclosed, although the situation has unfortunately been described as “serious.“ Sullivan broke into the business in 1970, and while he was successful over the next decade, his career went to another level in Championship Wrestling From Florida in the ’80s. This was after he embraced an occultist cult leader gimmick, which was inspired by Satanic panic at the time. From there, he would work for Jim Crockett Promotions/World Championship Wrestling, Smoky Mountain Wrestling, and Eastern/Extreme Championship Wrestling. Still, despite being so well-traveled and the fact he booked WCW in the ’90s, he is likely best known to modern-day fans for being Nancy Benoit’s ex-husband.
Golden Globe Award-Winning Actor Reveals He’s Been Talking To Legendary Wrestler About Playing Him
Despite not fitting the traditional mold of a pro wrestler, award-winning actor Paul Walter Hauser has begun competing on indie shows, facing off against the likes of Sami Callihan and Matt Cardona. And now, in an exciting revelation, Hauser has shared with The Wrap that he’s been in discussions with Mick Foley, a wrestler also known for defying the typical wrestling body, about potentially portraying him in an upcoming project. Hauser is a lifelong wrestling fan, and last year, the 37-year-old appeared on both Dynamite and Rampage as part of an angle involving his Golden Globe award, which saw him hit over the head with a guitar by Jeff Jarrett. Additionally, back in 2019, he appeared on FS1’s WWE Backstage’s Promo School alongside Booker T. However, having now wrestled several matches himself, with his next scheduled for MLW’s Battle Riot VI next month, it appears he is on the way to being regarded as a wrestler in his own right.
Speculation Commences That Ricky Starks Could Be WWE-Bound After He Defended CM Punk During Interview
Recently, there has been a lot of speculation regarding Ricky Stark’s future, with him not having been featured on AEW television since March. Additionally, when you add that his contract is believed to be expiring later this year, many suspect he may be intending to join his close friend Cody Rhodes in WWE. And now that talk has increased on social media after he defended CM Punk during a new interview with WhatCulture. 34-year-old Starks signed with AEW in 2020 after impressing Tony Khan and Cody Rhodes during his tryout match on Dynamite, which was also part of Rhodes’ open challenge for the AEW TNT Championship. Subsequently, he became very good friends with his opponent on the night, which led some to claim that his long-term future could be in WWE. Yet, while that it is far from guaranteed, the fact that he was at WrestleMania XL to watch Rhodes finish his story in person only made more fans believe he is WWE-bound.
The Undertaker Comments On His Portrayal In “Young Rock”
“Young Rock” aired from February 2021 to February 2023 and had a total of 37 episodes of 3 seasons. Initially, the NBC show started out with a lot of promise, but by the third season, the ratings really fell off. There are multiple reasons for this, with a move to Friday night being a big reason. Still, the show was full of factual inaccuracies, and some wrestlers’ casting choices were awful. Among the worst of these were the two actors hired to play The Undertaker, with Zechariah Smith recreating him twice and Josh Rawiri once. And now, while speaking on his podcast Patreon, the genuine American Badass has commented on his portrayal in the show. Neither Zechariah Smith nor Josh Rawiri had extensive acting careers before appearing on “Young Rock.” Seemingly, they were hired because those in charge of casting felt they resembled The Undertaker during the 90s. Still, it should be noted that Smith is actually a pro wrestler himself and was even signed to WWE for almost two years, although he would never appear on television. Nevertheless, he is still pursuing his pro wrestling dream and is currently associated with Billy Corgan’s NWA, wrestling under the name Jack Talos.
Tiffany Stratton Deletes Problematic Instagram Story Following Fan Backlash
Given her charisma, athleticism, and good looks, Tiffany Stratton looks destined to reach the top of WWE’s women’s division. However, she has now lost a great deal of goodwill with fans having posted an offensive Instagram Story which shows her hitting Jade Cargill and a voice saying, “black b*tch.” And while she would quickly delete the post due to fan backlash, with it being the internet, copies had already been saved and re-shared, such as the one below. 25-year-old Stratton, real name Jessica Woynilko, is a former bodybuilder and gymnast who broke into the business in 2021 after being trained by Greg Gagne, the son of the legendary AWA promoter Verne Gagne. She would go on to sign with WWE later that year after a successful tryout, and due to adopting a gimmick based on socialite Paris Hilton and the High School Musical character, Sharpay Evans has been one of the highlights of WWE television. Yet, it appears her career is now set to be tarnished due to being racially insensitive.
