• Ricochet Apologizes For Controversial Post

AEW star Ricochet has issued a public apology after backlash over a now-deleted tweet. He wrote: “I took out my hatred for the IWC on Sandi, and inadvertently others who are effected by MS. She didnt deserve it and for that, I sincerely apologize. Moving forward I’ll do better.”

The original comment mocked a fan named Sandi who has Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Many fans called it low and disgusting, especially after Ricochet reposted defenses of the tweet before deleting it.

The apology came after heavy online criticism. Some fans are skeptical, saying it only happened because of the backlash.

• WWE Released Authors Of Pain After Incident With Wyatt Sicks Member

During an interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, Authors of Pain member Rezar (Gzim Selmani) talked about AOP’s WWE release in 2025. He believes his and Akam’s release happened due to a backstage argument with one member of The Wyatt Sicks after an incident at a WWE Live Event in December 2024. Here’s what Rezar said:

“There was an incident. Very unprofessional from one of those guys. I don’t know their names and don’t want to go into it too deeply, but there was an incident at one of the Holiday tours that we did.

Somebody tried to switch up the match during the match and that’s just a no go for me, especially if you’ve just been in the company for a little bit, and we were already there for a long time. You don’t do that.

I just had to let somebody know and that was the end of it. They tried to switch up the match in the middle of the match. I’m a professional. Even if I got to take a beating in a wrestling ring, I’ll do it. And if you’re gonna be a scared little b—h, it’s not my fault. I will let you know backstage.

The switch was certain moves we did, certain guys didn’t want to take it because we’re big guys. So if we lift you up and double Spinebuster somebody five nights in a row, the sixth night somebody can complain, but don’t change it during the match.”

• Sad News For Santos Escobar

Santos Escobar is scheduled for surgery this Thursday after tearing his triceps muscle. The WWE and AAA wrestler apparently aggravated the injury while competing at the AAA Rey de Reyes (Week 1) event. According to Fightful Select, the original damage happened during a match with El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. while on tour for NXT during the Royal Rumble weekend.

At the time, everyone thought it was just a minor issue, but it turns out to be a full tear. This is a major setback for Escobar, who had only recently returned to action after being off TV for several months.

There’s no word yet on how long he will be out, but tricep surgeries usually require a significant amount of recovery time.

This injury is the reason why Escobar looked “off” during the match at Rey de Reyes, where El Grande Americano #2 (Ludwig Kaiser) defeated Escobar, La Parka, and Original El Grande Americano (Chad Gable) to become the #1 contender for the AAA Mega Championship.
