Speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Chris Bey talks about the injury he sustained wrestling which nearly (but thankfully didn’t) leave him completely paralyzed.
In this interview Saraya says the end of her career is coming soon: “I’m letting people beat me, left, right and center. I was on a losing streak, but I just wanted people to get their rub. I want to uplift everybody. I’m not gonna be in wrestling forever. I’m coming to the end of it and it’s very soon. And I don’t wanna go out being like, I need to be on top.”
From MLW: “MLW today announced HIMAWARI vs. Janai Kai at MLW Battle RIOT VII on Saturday, April 5 at Commerce Casino & Hotel in Los Angeles, CA and presented live on YouTube. MLW is set to showcase a clash of contrasts as HIMAWARI makes her much-anticipated MLW debut against the ruthless Janai Kai on April 5, 2025, at Battle Riot VII in Los Angeles. The announcement of HIMAWARI’s arrival in MLW sent shockwaves through the wrestling world, marking a major milestone in the league’s rapidly expanding women’s division. Now, the Japanese actress-turned-wrestler steps into the ring for the first time in MLW, facing an immediate test against one of the most dangerous competitors in the league – CONTRA Unit’s Janai Kai.”
Also from MLW: “Major League Wrestling (MLW) today announced lucha legend Blue Panther will participate in the 40-wrestler Battle RIOT match at MLW Battle RIOT VII on Saturday, April 5 at Commerce Casino & Hotel in Los Angeles, CA and presented live on YouTube. A true icon of lucha libre is stepping into MLW’s Battle RIOT! Blue Panther, one of the most revered and respected veterans in the history of the sport, has officially entered the 40-wrestler Battle RIOT, bringing decades of experience, technical mastery, and undeniable toughness to the fight. With a legendary career spanning over four decades, Blue Panther has defined excellence in CMLL. Known for his world class grappling, submission mastery, and strategic brilliance, the Mexican legend has battled some of the greatest competitors in history and now looks to etch his name in MLW history by conquering the Battle RIOT.”
Seth Rollins speculated on the return of Becky Lynch: “I don’t think we’ve seen the last of her in a WWE ring, but when the timing is right, she’ll be back. I know the fans are looking forward to it. I’m just having my wife on the road with me, so I’ll be excited about it as well. But I’m not exactly sure what the timing is on that.”
