• WWE Disrespected Bret Hart At SummerSlam 2025
During an appearance at Vaughan Con, Bret Hart revealed that WWE disrespected him at SummerSlam 2025. Here’s what the only 3-time WWE Hall of Famer said:
“I went to SummerSlam, they invited me down, told me they wanted me to be in the crowd. And once I got there, they told me they didn’t have any seats. But I noticed Kevin Nash got a seat. Maybe I finally realized that I don’t feel they really fully appreciate me, even after Hulk (Hogan) passing. There’s no certain appreciation for anything I did.
But I do think that I speak for a different time and a different place in the wrestling world. The young wrestlers today like (CM) Punk and FTR, and (others in) AEW, they’re true fans of mine and they emulate me or try to do little things that I did in my matches and mimic it, just as sort of a salute or a nod, to say ‘this is for you’ or whatever. And I appreciate that.
But I don’t think the WWF, the company, I don’t think they give a sh*t about anything. And I don’t think they care about the past.”

• Backstage News On Whether Karrion Kross’ WWE Departure Is Real
Both Karrion Kross and Scarlett have confirmed their WWE departures. Kross issued the following statement: “Hey… life is fighting, right? Now accepting bookings: Business@killerkross.com. See you all again soon.”
Scarlett issued the following statement: “My time in WWE has been an incredible ride, and I can truly say it’s been the best locker room I’ve ever been part of. These people aren’t just coworkers, they’re family. I love you all, and I’ll deeply miss seeing you every week. To the fans, you’ve never just been a crowd. You’ve been our partners in every fight and the reason we give everything for this. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
The next chapter starts now and I’m ready to bring something unforgettable to any stage, anywhere in the world. If you want The Smokeshow on your show… let’s make it happen. Bookings & appearances: RealScarlettBordeaux@yahoo.com”
According to Fightful Select, there’s a chance Kross could return, but for now it appears his departure is legitimate.
WrestleVotes further added: “For what it’s worth, there are people within WWE corporate — with no ties to creative or anything storyline-wise — who are under the impression that Karrion Kross and Scarlett are no longer with the company.”
• Backstage News On Naomi
Women’s World Champion Naomi’s reign has hit an unexpected roadblock. The titleholder was removed from her advertised match on this week’s RAW, with the company announcing she had not been medically cleared to compete.
PWInsider reported that Naomi was, in fact, backstage in Quebec City before the show began, ruling out any possibility that her absence was tied to travel issues. Whatever the underlying reason, it was kept under wraps – so much so that many within the locker room were left in the dark.
Her planned championship defense against IYO SKY was officially scrapped only hours before the live broadcast. Later, commentary dropped a concerning hint that Naomi might be sidelined for multiple weeks, which would put her scheduled Clash In Paris title match against Stephanie Vaquer on August 31 at serious risk.
