• WWE Almost Signed Current Champion From AEW

Before capturing championship gold in All Elite Wrestling, Harley Cameron found herself at a crossroads that could have sent her career in a completely different direction. That alternate route nearly led her to WWE, where early conversations and support briefly put her on their radar.

During an appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, Cameron looked back on that period and made it clear she holds no bitterness toward WWE. In fact, she credits the company for playing a meaningful role at the very beginning of her journey, including helping her secure a green card and laying the foundation for her wrestling education.

Although she was never officially signed, WWE assisted in getting Cameron trained at Flatbacks Wrestling School, operated by Tyler Breeze and Shawn Spears. Cameron explained that while things initially felt promising, the timing simply didn’t line up. Behind the scenes, WWE was undergoing internal changes, including staff departures and structural shifts, which appeared to stall any potential next step.

As that uncertainty lingered, another door quietly opened. Cameron began receiving opportunities with AEW, starting with appearances on AEW Dark. Those chances quickly snowballed, eventually leading to a full contract offer – one that would redefine her career trajectory.

Looking back, Cameron admitted WWE had been her original destination in mind, even though nothing ever materialized beyond conversations. She acknowledged how close she came to going down that road, but also recognized how fate intervened at the right moment.

Now firmly established in AEW and thriving alongside Willow Nightingale as the first ever AEW Women’s Tag Team Champions, Cameron credits Tony Khan for believing in her early. She noted that when AEW signed her, she had fewer than two dozen matches under her belt.

For Cameron, the experience reshaped how she views missed opportunities. What once felt like a closed door ultimately became a redirection toward something better. In hindsight, she sees her journey as proof that when one path fades away, it may simply be clearing the way for the right one to appear.

• Seth Rollins Has No Desire To Meet His Biological Father

What began as a simple curiosity about heritage turned into a life-altering revelation for Seth Rollins. Years after casually submitting a DNA sample, Rollins unexpectedly uncovered siblings he never knew existed.

While appearing on the Mohr Stories podcast, Rollins explained that he took a 23andMe test back in 2019 with no expectations beyond learning more about his background. Having grown up without knowing his biological father, Rollins said he was simply curious about where he came from, not anticipating any real connections to surface.

For a long time, nothing happened. Then, years later, the unexpected message arrived. A woman had matched with him through the service – someone who turned out to be his half-sister. The moment immediately clicked for Rollins once he recognized her last name, which matched a story his mother had told him years earlier.

The revelation came as a shock on both sides. His half-sister, who is younger than him, had no idea her father had another child. The surprise extended further when Rollins learned he also had a half-brother, who initially struggled to accept the news and questioned whether it could possibly be real.

Despite the disbelief and emotional weight of the discovery, Rollins said the situation ultimately settled into something positive. Over time, everyone involved came to terms with the truth, and he now maintains a healthy relationship with both siblings.

As for his biological father, Rollins made it clear that door remains closed. While they have spoken, he admitted he doesn’t feel a strong pull to pursue a deeper relationship. Rollins said he hasn’t met his biological father and has no desire to do so.

“I never knew my biological dad. My mom got pregnant in 1985, moved back to Iowa, and married Ron Lopez. He’s my dad, who I call my dad, but I never met my biological father. He didn’t want anything to do with me or my mom or the family. Real stand-up guy. I still haven’t met him. I’ve talked to him, but honestly, I don’t really have any desire to.”
