• WWE Hall Of Famer Is Not In Danger
Rumors and concern spread online after a social media post from Ric Flair led some fans to fear something was wrong with fellow WWE Hall of Famer Ricky Steamboat.
Flair’s message, which referenced Steamboat and a shared era from their past, was interpreted by some as a eulogy, triggering widespread worry about Steamboat’s health.
However, PWInsider has confirmed that Steamboat is 100% fine and there is no health emergency or incident involving him. The social media post was a tribute in tone rather than an announcement of any misfortune, and Steamboat’s well-being is not in question.

• SmackDown Wrestler Has Taken On The Heath Slater Role
With his Pretty Deadly tag team partner, Elton Prince, out of action with an injury, Kit Wilson has become a singles competitor.
According to WRKD Wrestling, WWE officials have confidence in Kit filling a role similar to Heath Slater’s, serving as a reliable on-screen presence who can take losses while helping elevate other talent.
On last night’s SmackDown, Kit put over Oba Femi in a squash match.

• Another Update On AJ Lee’s WrestleMania 42 Match
AJ Lee was expected internally to be involved in the Women’s Royal Rumble match, but plans ultimately fell apart for reasons that remain unclear.
The situation was discussed on WrestleVotes Live on Fightful Select, where it was noted that AJ Lee had been lined up for the event before her absence became apparent. While her name had been circulating internally ahead of the show, she did not end up appearing in the Women’s Royal Rumble match.
As previously noted, AJ Lee vs. Becky Lynch is scheduled to take place at WrestleMania 42. This will be AJ’s first singles match in 11 years.
In an update from the Wrestling Observer, AJ vs. Becky is going to be for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Becky recently won the title back from Maxxine Dupri.
