Below are a couple of top news stories of the day, featuring Jinder Mahal and Charlotte Flair.
• Former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal has shared the heartbreaking news of his Yorkshire Terrier, Ruby, passing away.
Mahal joins fellow wrestlers Batista, Torrie Wilson, and Michin, who also recently lost their beloved pets.
Jinder posted the following caption and photos on Instagram:
“Rest in Power Ruby Kaur Dhesi. We’ll never forget you.”
2024 has been challenging for Mahal, whose WWE release in April ended his dream job. Since then, he has been working to rebuild his career, making appearances in promotions like GCW, MLPW, and AAA.
While he currently lacks a full-time home promotion, opportunities with AEW or TNA could signal a potential career resurgence in 2025.

• Charlotte Flair is nearing her WWE in-ring return after recovering from a severe knee injury (ACL, MCL, and meniscus tears) sustained in December 2023 during a match with Asuka.
According to WrestleVotes, Flair’s comeback is imminent, with WWE creative focused on crafting a refreshed presentation for her return.
Reports suggest Flair will embrace a revamped version of her “Queen” persona, potentially with a darker edge.
Her updated presentation may include a more intense, elevated character akin to Seth Rollins’ flamboyant style, but tailored to her persona as WWE looks to reintroduce her in a bold and impactful manner.
Charlotte teased her return with the following tweets:
