• Frustration In WWE Over The Booking Of 2 Top Stars
WWE has been facing growing frustration backstage over how poorly it has handled two of its top champions, Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan and AAA Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio, since WrestleMania 42.
Despite holding major titles, both have barely been used on television over the last couple of months, and Morgan hasn’t even been booked to defend her belt.
WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select reports that the creative team originally planned for Morgan to continue her storyline with Stephanie Vaquer, but when Vaquer got injured, management failed to adapt, leaving the women’s champion without any real direction.
Things are finally starting to turn around for the duo on Monday Night RAW, however. WWE is planning to ramp up Morgan’s television appearances immediately, whether Vaquer returns soon or not. Meanwhile, writers have actively tried to keep Mysterio on screen even without putting him in matches, and his workload is about to pick up significantly as the company shifts focus toward promoting the upcoming AAA TripleMania event.

• WWE Retires Championship
WWE has officially retired the NXT Heritage Cup Championship. The title is no longer listed among the active championships on WWE’s official website and is now classified as retired on its dedicated championship page, confirming that it has been officially discontinued.
The Heritage Cup has not been featured on NXT programming since last year’s NXT Great American Bash, when Tony D’Angelo threw it off a bridge during his feud with Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo.
The championship was originally introduced in NXT UK before being brought to NXT following the closure of the UK brand.
Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo was the final holder of the NXT Heritage Cup.
• Latest WWE Departure Confirmed
WWE has parted ways with another talent, as Aria Bennett (Ajiea Lea Hargrave) is no longer with the company. Bennett recently updated her Instagram bio to describe herself as a “former WWE” talent. Prior to the change, her profile listed her as being part of NXT.
Below is a screenshot of her bio:
A former NCAA All-American gymnast, Bennett signed with WWE in 2024 as part of the company’s Next In Line program. During her two-year stint, she competed in 11 matches, all of which took place at NXT live events and EVOLVE shows.
Her most recent match came in April 2025 at an NXT live event.
It is currently unclear exactly when Bennett was let go. WWE conducted several rounds of talent cuts following WrestleMania earlier this year, and it is possible she was part of those releases, but her departure was not publicly reported at the time.
