Below are some top WWE & TNA news stories of the day.
• WCW & nWo Veteran Buff Bagwell is working on his redemption story and aspires to one day join the WWE Hall of Fame. Although his WWF/E tenure was brief—ending after just one match on RAW—Bagwell remains optimistic about reestablishing a connection with the company.
In a recent YouTube video, Bagwell expressed his hopes for a future role with WWE. “I’d love to have some kind of Legend deal,” he said. “Or helping the boys, or helping the school out. Some part of being under that WWE umbrella. I’d love to be a part of that.”
Bagwell, who was named WCW Rookie of the Year in 1991 and won multiple WCW World Tag Team Championships, emphasized his significant contributions to professional wrestling, particularly as a member of the nWo during the Monday Night Wars era. However, he also acknowledged that his past struggles with addiction and legal issues have overshadowed his legacy.
Now clean and sober, Bagwell credits Diamond Dallas Page with helping him turn his life around. He hopes his personal growth will showcase to WWE that he’s ready for another chance.
“The 20 years I blew, I believe will be corrected before I die,” Bagwell said. “You gotta be a good person and show that you’re a good human being, and I’m on that right path now. I just hope and pray that I will [get there].”

• Jeff Hardy has confirmed plans to revive his iconic Willow character in TNA, delighting fans who fondly remember the unique alter ego persona from the early 2010s.
Speaking to The Wrestle Spot, Hardy revealed that he has already started working on the character’s return, collaborating with his oldest daughter to design a new faceplate for the Willow mask. The mask was crafted by an artisan in Hillsboro, North Carolina.
Here’s what the current TNA World Tag Team Champion said:
“I’ve been talking about that a lot, man. In Hillsboro, North Carolina, there’s a new Willow mask. Me and my oldest daughter designed a new faceplate, and he got it and made the mask. I just haven’t picked it up yet.
But man, once I get there and try it on, if it feels good, I can’t wait to bust out a Willow promo on social media or something. I’m super excited about bringing Willow back to TNA, man. It’ll be so much better than it was before.”
