• WWE Hall Of Famer Will Wrestle In AEW After Recent Debut
Beth Phoenix made her AEW debut at All Out as Beth Copeland and took out Stokely Hathaway with a spear. FTR later attacked her with a spike piledriver.
According to Fightful Select, the idea of Phoenix working matches in All Elite Wrestling has “been tossed around for quite some time.” Sources within AEW believe that the company has finally found the right timing and situation for her to appear on television.
The report also clarified speculation regarding her husband, Adam Copeland (fka Edge). Despite his recent promo that fueled retirement buzz, Copeland is not finished with AEW. He still has time left on his contract but is currently stepping away to handle other obligations.
Those spoken to within AEW expressed confidence that Phoenix will eventually compete for the company, signaling that fans may see her in action once the timing aligns.
Phoenix, a former multi-time Women’s Champion and WWE Hall of Famer, last wrestled in WWE at Elimination Chamber 2023 alongside Edge, where they defeated Judgment Day’s Rhea Ripley and Finn Balor.

• AEW Star Almost Died
AEW star Luchasaurus was hospitalized last year due to severe lung damage. He was rushed to the hospital by his wife after he collapsed at home. Doctors discovered pneumonia in both of his lungs, and revealed that he was days away from suffering permanent lung damage.
His Tag Team partner, “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry has now shared just how close Luchasaurus came to losing his life.
Here’s what the former TNT Champion said on the Battleground podcast:
“This past year we both ended up being off, and he was off – he had pneumonia, which has been documented, but it turned out to be pretty serious. He almost died. It’s surreal. This guy’s like your best friend, I’m talking to him every day, and then all of a sudden it’s like, ‘Oh, I could have died.’
It really puts things into perspective, just how fragile life is and what’s really important. Because it’s easy to get lost in the weeds, being mad about this or that, but moments like this really make you step back.”
Jack Perry returned to AEW after a long hiatus at All Out earlier this month and reunited with Luchasaurus to re-form Jurassic Express after three years. The duo will appear on tomorrow’s 6-Year Anniversary episode of Dynamite.
