• Ex-WWE Wrestler Rezar Wins BKFC Debut With A Knockout (Video)

Former WWE wrestler Rezar (real name Gzim Selmani, one half of Authors of Pain) won his Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) debut on March 14 at BKFC Fight Night Newcastle. He knocked out Daniel Curtin in the second round after dominating the first. Rezar used heavy strikes for the bloody finish. You can watch it below:

After the win, the crowd booed him because of his WWE background. Rezar grabbed the mic and cut a heated heel promo full of strong language. He said:

“I’m here to knock motherf***ers out, anywhere in the motherf***ing world. Come get it. Motherf***ers, I’m f***ing done with everybody. F*** this place too. I’m the motherf***ing Albanian Psycho. I’m the motherf***er who came from WWE to this place. I fought my a$$ off, and I’m here.

Thank you to David Feldman, thank you to Conor McGregor. I’m here to stay, motherf***ers, whether you like it or not.”

• Mercedes Mone Loses Another Title, Gets Emotional (Video)

AEW star Mercedes Mone has dropped the EWA Women’s Championship. On March 14, she lost the title to Mila Smidt at the BZW x Rixe “Apogée” event in Dreux, France. It was a winner-takes-all match where Smidt also defended her Rixe Women’s Championship. Mercedes got emotional after her loss:

Mone’s reign lasted 281 days — she won it in June 2025 in a three-way match against Lexa Valo and Smidt. After the match, Mone showed support by joining Smidt to hold a sign saying “More women in the ring” to promote women’s wrestling.

This is Mone’s third straight title loss this month. She recently lost the CMLL Women’s Championship to Persephone and the BestYa Wrestling Women’s Championship to Swan.

Mone now holds six belts, including titles from Discovery Wrestling (Scotland), PTW (Poland), Bodyslam (Denmark), WPW (Canada), APAC (Malaysia), and the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Championship.
