• Latest WWE Release Announced
Jimmy House is no longer with the WWE ID (Independent Development) program. House confirmed his release from the developmental initiative, ending a tenure that lasted approximately seven months.
House originally earned his contract in March 2026 following a tryout in Orlando earlier that January. During his time in the system, he gained TV exposure by competing under the name CJ Valor on WWE EVOLVE, in addition to his prior independent wrestling experience.
Here’s what he posted about his departure:
“What a phenomenal time it was wrestling on Evolve and learning from so many amazing coaches in WWE. Incredibly grateful for the friendships built, memories made and lessons learned. Excited to see what the next chapter has in store for me 🙌🏽
As always thank you to all the wrestling fans for your support. It’s always extremely humbling to have you guys root for me regardless of where wrestling takes me.”
His departure adds to a significant wave of recent roster changes within the WWE ID program. Several other talents, including Cappuccino Jones, Santi Rivera, Sam Holloway, Marcus Mathers, Laynie Luck, and Veronica Haven, have also exited the developmental pipeline amid ongoing roster adjustments.

• PAC Dealt With Prior Lung Complications & Blood Clots
While the sudden death of 40-year-old AEW star PAC stunned fans across the globe, new backstage accounts reveal the performer had quietly battled serious respiratory and circulatory problems for several years.
Following the Cook County Medical Examiner’s ruling that Benjamin Satterley passed away from bronchial asthma due to natural causes on September 27, Dave Meltzer shared on Wrestling Observer Radio that those within the wrestler’s inner circle knew his breathing troubles were not brand new.
According to Meltzer, a close personal friend disclosed that Satterley had previously fought through blood clot complications in 2023 along with lingering lung troubles, matching the respiratory conditions behind his fatal episode, even though officials have not linked the past blood clots directly to his passing.
Medical expert Dr. Alex Patel noted on the show that while asthma is generally treatable with proper medication, severe flare-ups can cause airways to inflame and shut down with alarming speed.
That rapid onset raises painful questions about PAC’s final minutes in a rental car in Des Plaines, Illinois, with Meltzer pointing out that although supplies were seen inside the vehicle, the sudden attack may have hit too fast for the former WWE star to reach an inhaler or call for emergency help.
