Penta

In this interview Penta talks about how his WWE run has gone: “When you come to WWE, everything changes in your life, professional life and personal life. Yeah, more responsibilities, of course, but in the same time, you have the opportunity to touch more hearts around the world. That’s why Penta always stays preparing every day, every single day. I push my mind and my body to the limit to get the best result in my life, and at the same time, inspire new generations and new people, even in the real life.”

Here are WWE house show results from Albuquerque over the weekend. (WBS)

NWA is bringing back its all-women’s NWA Empowerrr PPV on August 28th in Sevierville, TN.

Netflix did it again. If you weren’t watching Raw live last week and caught a replay, they added a “glitching” effect to the backstage segment where Cody was bleeding after an attack by Gunther. (PWI)

When WWE rolls into the Rocket Arena in Cleveland on August 28th, SmackDown will be live and the episode of Raw that airs Monday will be taped afterward.

Full Gear 2026 will be at the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix on November 14th. Tickets go on sale July 27th.

In this interview KC Navarro talks about returning from injury: “I’m doing great. If you were to ask me when I first came back, I was definitely a little nervous, which everybody kind of told me, hey, when you come back from an ACL your first year, you’re going to kind of be like, ‘ah.’ But I think by the time I wrestled A.J. Francis in the street fight was the first time I really felt like myself. And then when I wrestled (Mustafa) Ali for the international title, I was like, ‘Oh, yeah. I’m definitely back.’ So, the confidence is back. I’m feeling great. I’m doing good.”

Jeff Jarrett talks about watching Dark Side of the Ring about the history of TNA: “The authenticity and the drama really hit me. There was footage in there I hadn’t seen in years, including my grandfather. Seeing all of it come together was emotional all over again. For years, I glossed over it. During these interviews, they asked follow-up questions that made me articulate things I’d never said out loud before. When I watched it back, it hit me all over again. They know how to tell a story, but they’re also incredibly skilled interviewers. They know how to let people open up.”
