Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day.
• WWE continues to secure contracts with past stars by signing them to Legends deals. Recent signees include Jesse Ventura, Rob Van Dam, Jacqueline, The Headbangers, Mick Foley, Victoria, The Godfather, and The Dudley Boyz.
These deals allow WWE to use the talent’s likenesses for video games, merchandise, and more. However, they do not prevent the stars from working elsewhere.
The latest to sign a WWE Legends contract is Hornswoggle. Hornswoggle worked for WWE from 2006 to 2016 and made various appearances from 2018 to 2020. He was notably revealed as Vince McMahon’s illegitimate son and later paired with Finlay and 3MB. He’s also a former WWE Cruiserweight Champion.

• WWE Bad Blood kicked off with CM Punk defeating Drew McIntyre in a brutal Hell in a Cell match, where both wrestlers bled.
McIntyre reportedly suffered a head wound from a toolbox shot by Punk, requiring 16 staples to close the gash. According to PWInsider, the match brought back a sense of danger and intensity that Hell in a Cell matches used to have.
The Wrestling Observer reported that Punk was initially the only one supposed to bleed, with McIntyre’s injury being unplanned:
“Backstage and at ringside they were panicking because of how bad the wound was and that he was so bloody and it wouldn’t stop. They, at first, talked about having the doctor get in the cage and try to stop the bleeding but the decision was made not to do it because it was Hell in a Cell.”
McIntyre assured WWE officials that if he felt unwell, he would signal to end the match. Despite the injury, there were no signs of a concussion, and the match continued as planned.
