• WWE Hall Of Famer Has Signed With AEW

A star from wrestling’s golden era has officially joined the All Elite Wrestling family. WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Von Erich, an icon from the days of World Class Championship Wrestling, is now part of AEW, according to his sons, Marshall and Ross Von Erich. Speaking on their podcast The Claw, the brothers shared the news, revealing that even they were caught off guard when their father told them he’d signed on the dotted line. “My dad is officially AEW. He’s on the team now. We were surprised, too. He told us, ‘Yeah man, I’m on the team now,’” Marshall explained.

Ross chimed in, describing the agreement as similar to a legends contract, a deal that recognizes Kevin’s legacy while keeping him connected to the modern wrestling scene. “It’s kind of like a legends deal, which is awesome. AEW is doing some really cool stuff with guys like him,” Ross noted.

Marshall praised AEW for embracing wrestling legends who may not have spent long stretches in WWE but still carry immense knowledge and influence. “It’s great that AEW has a place for guys who still have so much to offer. Even if they didn’t have full WWE careers, they’ve got tools that can help the younger generation,” Marshall said. He added that whenever Kevin’s around the locker room, he’s usually deep in conversation, sharing insights and connecting with talent.

The respect Kevin Von Erich commands among today’s stars has been evident. Marshall shared stories of Will Ospreay expressing admiration for the Von Erich family’s legacy, and MJF being a dedicated viewer of old World Class Championship Wrestling footage. “It’s amazing how many people know the legacy,” Marshall said.

• Naomi Is Planning A Big Surprise For WWE Evolution 2 (Photo)

Naomi has warned Jade Cargill that something major is coming her way. Ahead of their No Holds Barred clash at WWE Evolution 2, Naomi posted an image on Twitter that resembled a mock explosive device. Her caption was simple but ominous: “@Jade_Cargill I’m working on a BIG surprise for you.”

This isn’t the first time Naomi has taken things to another level in this feud. On a recent SmackDown, she blindsided Cargill backstage, continuing the violent momentum that began months ago. Their issues trace back to November, when Cargill was attacked backstage and forced out of action, missing Survivor Series. At Elimination Chamber, she returned with answers, revealing Naomi as the one who took her out. That reveal flipped a switch in Naomi, who has since embraced a darker, more unhinged persona.

• MJF Jokes About Lex Luger’s Paralysis

MJF turned heads during his appearance at Starrcast. While promoting his latest action figure, which showcases the gear he wore at All In 2024, the former AEW World Champion revealed that the look was inspired by a mix of Apollo Creed and Lex Luger. The moment Luger’s name came up, fans broke into applause. That didn’t sit well with MJF. “Guys… why are you clapping for him? He can’t even walk,” he told the crowd.

Luger has lived with a serious spinal condition for nearly two decades. Though paralyzed from the neck down for some time, he’s made major progress in recent years, thanks in part to longtime friend and mentor ‘Diamond’ Dallas Page. Earlier this year, Luger was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. He appeared at the ceremony and gave his induction speech while standing up the whole time.
