With a brand new 10-year streaming deal with Netflix now well underway, the higher-ups over at WWE know they have to keep the company and brand as relevant and popular as ever and are reportedly looking to expand their reach and are making moves to ensure that the WWE remain at the top of the wrestling world for the foreseeable future.
According to Newsweek, the WWE are looking into recruiting new wrestling talent from around the world as they look to reel in new fans from different countries and cultures in an effort to get the WWE brand to be as popular and relevant as ever. It’s getting to the point where WWE officials are looking into kicking off an NXT Europe brand by the end of 2025 to attract European wrestlers into the fold before ultimately integrating them into the majors i.e. WWE’s main roster.
Per Newsweek:
This potential new branch in Europe would follow several of WWE’s recent attempts to attract more international wrestlers. These activities include the special UK Tryouts that WWE held while on its European tour in March 2025, which gathered many hopefuls.
From those tryouts, it has been reported that WWE found several wrestlers they are very interested in signing. Among these talents are Spanish wrestler Zozaya, Aigle Blanc from France, and Mike D. Vecchio, who represents Italy, along with other promising athletes who made an impression.
WWE’s concept of NXT Europe is not a brand-new idea, as it builds on previous international efforts. For a while, the company has discussed creating a new training and development center based in the European region to nurture local talent.
We’re sure there’s popular European wrestlers licking their chops at the chance to make that jump to the timeless WWE brand at some point and showing Americans exactly what they’re made of across the pond.

Scary news coming out of the wrestling world as it’s being reported that up and coming female WWE superstar, Zoey Stark suffered a scary injury in a recent match this past Monday night (May 19).
According to Newsweek, the incident occurred during her match on Monday night’s WWE Raw livestream on Netflix after Zoey attempted to land a missile dropkick on her opponent only to apparently land wrong and injure her knee in the process.
After landing wrong and laying on the ground in pain, the referee called on WWE ringside staff to check on the injured WWE star, but after failing to stand on her own, she was helped out the ring and carried to the back where she was further evaluated.
No word from the WWE on the severity of Stark’s injury but this isn’t the first time the wrestler has found herself in this scenario as Newsweek reports that “Stark has had knee issues in the past, requiring surgery in 2021 to repair a torn ACL, MCL, and Meniscus.”
Prayers up for Zoey Starks as we wish her a speedy recovery and return to the WWE ring.

Ever since unapologetically stomping for Donald Trump during the 2024 presidential race and taking shots at Kamala Harris, Hulk Hogan’s popularity in the WWE universe plummeted with the wrestling legend constantly getting booed whenever making an appearance at WWE events.
Seeing the writing on the wall, Hulk Hogan has decided to launch his own pro wrestling league banking on MAGA country to support his new venture and is calling on none other than the orange overlord, Donald Trump, to help him jumpstart his new wrestling league. According to TMZ, Hulk Hogan has linked up with fellow wrestling legend Eric Bischoff and famous coach Israel Martinez to start Real American Freestyle with the inaugural show kicking off in Cleveland, Ohio, on Aug. 30.
Though Donald Trump hasn’t committed to appearing at the event to show support to the man whose career he ruined by having him publicly support him during the 2024 presidential race, the Hulkster is hoping that the most hated man in the world repays a little of that debt by popping up at his Real American Freestyle wrestling event later this summer.
Per TMZ:
In fact, Hulk — who was one of Trump’s biggest supporters during his run for president in 2024 — said he plans to make a phone call to the White House soon to personally extend the invite.
With or without Trump, though, Hogan made it clear he’s expecting big things from the league — which will have a bit of a different feel than most of the wrestling promotions he used to dominate.
The RAF will feature real, unscripted freestyle wrestling … with both men’s and women’s divisions. He said in a teaser for the league that athletes “are going to get paid to beat people up” — before telling us they could make dollar amounts in the seven-figure range.
Hulk promised it’ll have “The Voice”-like elements too … saying wrestlers’ backgrounds will be given to fans prior to their matches.
Sounds like fans will know which “woke” wrestlers to boo and which “MAGA” wrestlers to cheer for. Just sayin’.
That being said, we feel like a Cheeto Jesus appearance depends on just how good or bad Trump will be looking come Aug. 30. If we’re in a deep recession by then (which seems likely), Trump might show up just to get cheered on by his MAGA cult and make himself feel better.

To say WrestleMania 41 was a train wreck would be an understatement as fans of the WWE took to social media to let it be known that this year’s wrestling super bowl was one of thee worst in recent memory. However, having John Cena make history by winning his 17th World Heavyweight title in arguably the worst main event in WrestleMania history was the icing on the carrot cake.
According to Newsweek, John Cena’s historic win came at the end of what many felt was a slow and sluggish match between John Cena and former Undisputed Champion, Cody Rhodes. And though this was supposed to be John Cena’s final match in the WWE, having him walk away with the championship opens the door to more John Cena for the foreseeable future.
The “worst” WrestleMania main event comes a year after what many considered the “Best” WrestleMania main event, which saw Cody Rhodes defeat Roman Reigns to become the undisputed champion and featured appearances and interference from the likes of The Rock, The Undertaker, Seth Rollins, and others. This time around they got Travis Scott to attempt to help John Cena only to feel the wraith of Cody Rhodes in the square ring (that was kind of funny though). By winning the world title a 17th time, John Cena surpassed the legendary Ric Flair, who held the record as the 16-time World Heavyweight champion for decades.
Still, the entire weekend left a sour taste in the mouths of wrestling fans, and one has to wonder how WWE plans on righting the ship going forward. John Cena seems to know whatever he said post-WrestleMania would be held against him in the court of public opinion and instead opted to avoid talking about the “worst” WrestleMania main event in WWE history.
Per Newsweek:
Cena refused to answer any questions, instead opting to say that the questions were “clickbait” and were “lazy reporting.”
“I’m beginning to sense a pattern here, that you guys are just looking for headlines, so I’ll give you one,” Cena said. “Tune into Monday Night Raw to see how I ruin wrestling. And keep in mind that you are talking to the last real champion. Step your game up next time.”
Additionally, fans noted that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson didn’t show up despite seemingly being the catalyst to Cena becoming the villain.
Instead, fans were treated to a sluggish match with no variety that ended due to an interference from Travis Scott, who isn’t a wrestler.
Cena said that his goal is to ruin pro wrestling. And if he keeps this up, he just might.
How Trumpian of John Cena.

Fresh off headlining Coachella, Travis Scott made his return to WWE in Las Vegas on Sunday night (April 20) when La Flame crashed WrestleMania and took part in the action in the ring.

Travis Scott might want to stick to his day job because professional wrestling just isn’t working out for him, according to WWE fans.
Some celebrities, such as Bad Bunny, have had a significant impact on storylines leading up to the WWE’s largest pay-per-view events. Unfortunately for Travis Scott, the writing was on the wall with his involvement in the Cody Rhodes/John Cena feud, which sadly flopped; the rapper didn’t help sell it at all.
Travis Scott is best known for crafting hits in the studio, but as we found out during the Elimination Chamber PPV he isn’t good at pretending to deliver them in the wrestling ring when he apparently “accidentally” injured Rhodes, rupturing his eardrum after pimp slapping the professional rapper.
Things didn’t get better for Scott when he showed up at WrestleMania 41 to interfere in night 2’s main event featuring Cena and Rhodes for the WWE Undisputed Championship.
Scott made his way down the ramp to the ring, but this time Rhodes got the upper hand on the “SICKO MODE” crafter hitting him with his “Cross Rhodes” finisher and throwing him out of the ring.
That gave Cena enough time to hit Rhodes with the title, knocking him out and sealing the victory with a pinfall, becoming the WWE Undisputed Champion for the 17th time, a WWE record.
Social Media Body Slams Travis Scott & WrestleMania 41’s Lackluster Main Event
WrestleMania 41 was already facing negative press due to some controversial comments from Roman Reigns and Chief Content Officer Triple H regarding Donald Trump.
The lackluster main event didn’t help much, especially how things played out, plus Scott’s involvement, with wrestling fans taking to social media to express their disappointment.
“Travis Scott shit is STUPID,” Phase Hero host and producer, Brandon Davis, said on X, formerly Twitter.
Another post read, “Like what??? Why did Travis Scott have a 5 minute entrance in the middle of the match and WHERE IS THE ROCK????”
Welp, it looks like no one wants to see Scott in a WWE ring ever again.

Cardi B is pulling no punches at this year’s WWE SummerSlam, which the rapper announced late Friday (April 18) she’ll be hosting both nights this August.
In a clip shared to the wrestling promotion company’s X account, Cardi — wearing an Eddie Guerrero T-shirt — excitedly shares the news. “What’s up, WWE universe?” she tells the camera, waving. “Guess what? SummerSlam. MetLife. Two nights. And I will finally be hosting.”
“And nobody better try me,” a hyped-up Cardi ends the announcement video following a montage of all-star fighters taking the ring. “We gonna turn up!”
Trending on Billboard
The two-day event will take place Aug. 2 and 3 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. It comes four years after the WWE reportedly wanted the “WAP” artist to appear at SummerSlam 2021 before her pregnancy with son Wave made her unable to do so, though the event still used her song “Up” as its official theme that year.
SummerSlam 2025 will also mark the first time the event has been held over the course of two days, something Cardi helped announce back in September. Tickets go on sale May 2, with a pre-sale taking place two days prior, for which fans can now register on WWE’s website.
The news follows the release of the hip-hop titan’s latest single, “Toot It Up,” with Pardison Fontaine. Cardi is also featured on the soundtrack for the upcoming Smurfs movie, with DJ Khaled’s “Higher Love” featuring the “Bodak Yellow” musician and Desi Trill dropping in February.
Both tracks come as Cardi is still working on her long-awaited sophomore album, which will follow 2018’s Invasion of Privacy. The star gave fans an update on the project earlier this month, saying on X Spaces, “The features on my album are really good … I’m working with artists, some that I have worked before and some that I haven’t worked before.”
“And the ones that I have not worked before, I feel like it’s gonna really, really surprise y’all,” she added at the time. “I can tell y’all this, I’m 100 percent confident with this album. I just don’t think what I got is out there.”
