Below are some top news stories of the day, involving Marty Jannetty and the 2025 WWE Draft.
• WCW Veteran and former nWo member Buff Bagwell has expressed concern over WWF Veteran Marty Jannetty’s declining health, fearing he could be the next wrestler to pass away if he doesn’t change his lifestyle.
Bagwell noted Jannetty’s severe ankle issues and struggles with substance abuse, emphasizing that sobriety is a personal choice and that Jannetty hasn’t yet hit rock bottom.
Jannetty previously revealed a serious medical issue with his foot, which worsened over time and even put him at risk of amputation.
Here’s what Bagwell said on his YouTube channel:
“His ankles are in horrible condition, and his ankles are gonna kill him before anything, but he’s just in a horrible place. He is definitely going to be the next one to die, and I truthfully don’t know what to do.
I’m remembering everything I’ve learned with AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) and getting sober is you’ve gotta wanna do it, brother, and he is not at his rock bottom. He’s not even close to his rock bottom.
I’ve talked to [Marty Jannetty] several times on the phone and he does not wanna get clean. He is not gonna get clean. And I talked to [Diamond Dallas Page] about it and Dallas, you know how great Dallas has been toward everybody, but Dallas said he’s not doing it no more, and I was like, ‘Hey, brother, I get you.'”

• According to PWInsider, the 2025 WWE Draft is set to take place after WrestleMania 41, confirming another major roster reshuffling for RAW and SmackDown.
While the event is meant to keep WWE fresh, last year’s Draft was widely criticized for lacking real impact, with even The Undertaker voicing his disappointment.
Fans have been criticizing the concept of the Draft for a while now, as the brand split isn’t strict and wrestlers get booked to appear on both brands.
WWE recently utilized a transfer window to shift wrestlers between RAW and SmackDown, which was similar to the Draft.
