• Promoter Says Goldberg Did Nothing Wrong In New Controversy
This past Saturday at The Big Event Entertainment × Sports Expo held in the Suffolk Credit Union Arena in Brentwood, New York, wrestling fans lined up for autograph signings with legends like Sting, The Great Muta and Bill Goldberg among others.
However, what should have been a smooth celebrity-meet-and-greet turned into a public dispute with one vendor, K & S Wrestlefest, over Goldberg’s alleged failure to complete a private signing session.
K & S Wrestlefest had promoted a private autograph signing session with Goldberg, charging fans $80 for an item to be signed and then mailed to them. But the vendor later announced via Facebook (a post which has since been deleted) that the signing “did not happen.” They wrote:
“Unfortunately Goldberg PRIVATE Signing did not happen.. We had all our items laid out ready to sign as Goldberg was doing another Private for another vendor. After he was done, he got up and said he was done.. He walked out past our stuff, and left.. We are all super disappointed, and frustrated… My apologies to all…”
In response to the allegations, The Big Event Entertainment × Sports Expo promoter, Tom Unger, disputed the claim and offered a different version of events in comments on a Facebook post:
“No he wasn’t. He signed for the fans for 5hrs straight.. Ken (K & S Wrestlefest) wasn’t guaranteed anything. I told him if we had time we would get your items done.. He shouldn’t be posting this all over like the victim. This was my deal and my customers come first. Shouldn’t take mail order from all you not knowing if it was going to get done.”
• RAW Star Wishes Rhea Ripley Spanked Her, Boyfriend Reacts
Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY appeared on SmackDown this past Friday as part of the build-up to Survivor Series: WarGames. They were attacked backstage by The Kabuki Warriors, Nia Jax and Lash Legend.
After the show went off the air, IYO SKY took on Roxanne Perez in a dark match. A fan posted a clip from the match showing a moment where Ripley was about to spank Perez, while The Prodigy was sitting on the ropes. However, Mami backed off when she noticed the referee watching, not wanting to risk getting IYO disqualified.
Ripley later reacted on X, writing: “Gummy bear you’re very lucky the referee was watching… @roxanne_wwe”
Perez then replied in a playful manner: “Wish you would’ve mami”

• Former Champion Open To WWE Return After 19 Years At Royal Rumble In Saudi Arabia
Jazz made her WWF debut in 2001 and quickly rose to the top of the Women’s division, becoming a two-time Women’s Champion. She was released in 2004, returned briefly a few years later, and was released again in 2007.
The 53-year-old has worked as a guest coach at the WWE Performance Center several times this year and was also in attendance for the Evolution Premium Live Event.
In an interview with Ring The Belle, Jazz said that she would be open to returning at Royal Rumble 2026, but only if WWE gives her enough time to get ready.
“Give me a heads up so I can prepare myself. Don’t let it be a two-week notice. That’s all I ask, give me at least a month so I can prepare myself.
More mentally, but physically as well, so I can get in the gym. Work on my guns a little bit. Just give me a heads up and I will most definitely be prepared.”
WWE will head to Saudi Arabia for the Royal Rumble next year. The show isn’t expected to feature many surprise returns as it would be extremely difficult for the company to quietly fly talent in without it leaking early.
