• Saraya Reveals What She Wants In A Man After Recent Breakup
Former WWE and AEW star Saraya recently opened up about her personal life during a Q&A on her Rule Breakers podcast. Amid talk of her sobriety journey, life changes, and memories of her wrestling career, Saraya also shared what she now values in a relationship – especially after going through a recent breakup with Ronnie Radke. When asked about the “green flags” she looks for in a partner, Saraya was clear:
“I like someone that has patience that isn’t like – jealousy is healthy, sure, but like not having the jealousy where everything becomes a restriction, you know, and not fun,” she said. “I like having them let me have freedom to be able to come out here and do stuff like this, or be around men and it be perfectly fine. And let me wear whatever the f**k I want.”
According to Saraya, it comes down to two major traits: patience and trust. “A person that’s not too jealous, that has a lot of patience. That’s probably the two biggest ones for me.”

• Thunder Rosa’s Recent Comments About Britt Baker Weren’t Part Of AEW’s Script
As All In: Texas 2025 fast approaches, a new wrinkle has emerged in AEW’s landscape: Thunder Rosa has publicly thrown down the gauntlet at longtime rival Britt Baker – with no creative blessing from AEW’s booking team. During a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Thunder Rosa revealed she’s staking her hair in a “Hair vs. Hair” match with Britt Baker at All In – running with one of the most personal storylines in the promotion to date. She wanted to turn up the intensity and reignite the feud ahead of one of All Elite Wrestling’s flagship events: “I threw a challenge, just a little challenge. Hair vs Hair against my nemesis Britt Baker. The reason why I’m doing it is… One, I know there is money on the table. Two, she’s bonded by blood with me. She cannot get rid of my name, no matter what happens. Ever. That gives me a lot of pleasure.”
This wasn’t part of AEW’s script. According to Fightful Select, Rosa’s challenge was unplanned and had nothing to do with AEW’s creative plans. Rosa seized the moment on her own, aiming to steer the narrative herself.
Their feud goes back years, featuring brutal, emotionally charged matches, including a lights‑out brawl in 2021 that AEW still highlights as one of their deepest rivalries.
With All In less than a week away, it’s safe to say Britt Baker vs. Thunder Rosa in a Hair vs. Hair match won’t take place in Texas.
• Jacob Fatu Criticized By WWE Fans For Using The N-Word
Jacob Fatu’s latest music release, Hello, has caused controversy online due to his use of the N-word. The track features his uncle, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, and was produced by Frank Ware Jr. The beat samples music from Wiz Khalifa, and the lyrics focus on Fatu’s personal struggles and family life. Though the song offers insight into Fatu’s journey, it was the repeated use of the N-word that caught many listeners off guard. Fatu, who is of Samoan descent and the son of Sam Fatu (The Tonga Kid) and Theresa Fuavai-Fatu, received backlash from fans who believe he crossed a line.
One critic wrote, “Jacob Fatu saying the N word (AGAIN) shouldn’t surprise anyone. These Samoans think they’re allowed to say it for whatever reason and you know #those accounts won’t call it out cause they think that family is untouchable for whatever odd reason.”
Another said, “Who’s gonna tell Jacob Fatu he can’t say the N-word? I wish y’all would quit acting like these Samoans are invincible when they not. No matter how much they appropriate our culture, they aren’t Black, and will never be Black. Simple.”
Even longtime fans expressed disappointment. “I’ve been a Jacob Fatu fan since MLW,” one user shared. “I didn’t know about him saying the N-word constantly until people started posting that clip. It pains me to see he’s still acting weird bro. Being Samoan doesn’t give you a pass.”
Hello (feat. Rikishi Fatu)
Jacob Fatu was destined to make noise in the industry. He had his ups and down but he was able to perservere. He spent years perfecting his craft. Now, he finally gets to show the world how talented he truly is… In the ring, and on the Mic. It’s a… pic.twitter.com/ic9dFfn3NP— RIKISHI FATU (@TheREALRIKISHI) July 5, 2025
While Jacob has yet to respond to the backlash, Rikishi briefly mentioned both him and Solo Sikoa on his podcast. He didn’t address the controversy but expressed pride in both wrestlers, saying he was happy when they each won the United States Championship.
