• Former WWE Wrestler Debuts In AEW-ROH
Andrade was not the only former WWE star in Florida ahead of AEW Dynamite last night.
IWGP Women’s Champion Sareee (fka Sarray in WWE NXT) was also in town to make her Ring of Honor debut last night. She teamed up with Alex Windsor to take on Billie Starkz and Diamante in a Tag Team Match. The show was taped before Dynamite went on air.
Sareee joined WWE NXT in 2020 and left three years later due to creative differences.
In an interview with Mera Wrestling earlier this year, Sareee said the following about her WWE departure:
“When I went to WWE in America, I didn’t want to be a villain so much as a strong wrestler. I wanted to be seen as ‘cool’ and ‘strong,’ but instead they made me play an anime character in a sailor uniform. They told me it suited me, but I felt like, ‘That’s not me!'”
• The Rock Denies Steroid Allegations From Instagram Influencer
The Rock gained over 30 pounds to portray MMA legend Mark Kerr in his upcoming movie The Smashing Machine. He trained extensively with MMA coaches during a 12-week camp to match Kerr’s physique in his prime.
After bulking up for that role, The Great One has now gone in the opposite direction. He has lost around 60 pounds for his next project, a movie titled Lizard Music. In it, The Rock will play a 70-year-old known as “Chicken Man.”
A couple of weeks ago, Fitness influencer Alex Diago shared a video on Instagram in which he alleged that The Rock’s recent weight loss occurred due to him coming off steroids.
The Final Boss denied the influencer’s claim and commented the following on his post: “This is 100% not true.”

The Rock will be back on the big screen tomorrow, as The Smashing Machine officially makes its way to theaters.

Jesse, the son of Melanie Morgan, was adopted by Pillman after the WWF star married his mother. He passed away after struggling with mental health issues.

“I lost my brother today.
He was a bada$$, highly intelligent, witty and charismatic dude who grew up in the 90s.
He loved video games, Warhammer, R.A. Salvatore, among many other cool bro stuff.
Recently we had been on Discord playing StarCraft 2 co-op together and he was enrolled in classes at the University of Cincinnati.
He was a veteran who suffered from issues after surviving some traumatic events while serving in Afghanistan.
He loved his country, his last Facebook post was this:
“Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.” —Franklin D. Roosevelt
Some words to live by…
The battle with your demons is now over brother.
Rest in Peace Jesse Morgan
1987-2025″
