  • Lash Legend Reflects On Demolition Tribute At WrestleMania 42

    Lash Legend Reflects On Demolition Tribute At WrestleMania 42

    For Lash Legend, competing at WrestleMania 42 only months after officially joining WWE’s main roster was already a surreal experience. But being able to honor one of wrestling’s legendary tag teams made the moment even more special.

    During a recent appearance on Bodyslam.net’s Wrestleholics podcast, Legend reflected on competing at WrestleMania and coming out in tribute gear inspired by the iconic Demolition duo.

    “I mean, those are like dream moments and essentially what we trained for all year. Everybody wants a WrestleMania match and the fact that I got it, what, six months in on the main roster is just incredible.”

    Legend admitted that paying tribute to Demolition during the event became one of the highlights of the entire WrestleMania week for her.

    “And, you know, being able to honor the Demolition Brothers, that was so, so cool. And the gear, man, that came out so sick. I didn’t know what to envision completely, but shout out to our gear makers. They did that.”

    According to Legend, the experience became even more meaningful after getting the opportunity to spend time with the legendary tag team prior to the match.

    “And it was really cool that we got to have that moment with the Demolition Brothers prior to the match, get some pictures. So just that whole moment, that whole week, everything was just, it’s just a dream, honestly.”

    Legend also reflected on her standout showing in this year’s Royal Rumble match, where she scored five eliminations — the highest total in the match.

    “So obviously WrestleMania, like you mentioned, Royal Rumble had an amazing showing. Got to eliminate Hall of Famers, future Hall of Famers. And I had the most this year, which was five. So that was really, really cool.”

    While discussing her rapid rise on the main roster, Legend also credited Nia Jax as one of the biggest influences on her recent development, both inside and outside the ring.

    Legend explained that working with Jax during her final run in NXT pushed her physically in ways she had not experienced before.

    “At NXT, towards my end run there, she asked to come down and work against me and I was all for it. Obviously I hadn’t worked anybody of that caliber and that dominant in the ring. I’m being the bully to everyone, so to get a taste of being bullied back, I’m like, hold up, wait a minute.”

    She added that Jax has continued helping guide her transition to WWE’s main roster, something Legend says has made the adjustment far smoother than she expected.

    “She’s testing me the most and I think she’s also helped me grow the most and make this transition from NXT to the main roster just seamless. I don’t got to worry about nothing because I got Nia on my side just there for me, vouching for me. Like it’s been amazing.”

    Legend also hyped up her growing alliance with Jax, revealing that the duo is officially known as “The Irresistible Forces.”

    “Well, if you didn’t know, Nia Jax and myself, Lash Legend, the one and only Bougie Bully — we are called The Irresistible Forces. We are literally the biggest girls in the entire WWE across all brands and we’re the most dominant.”

    With momentum continuing to build around Lash Legend on WWE television, it’s clear the former NXT standout sees herself as only getting started.

  • Nattie: I Want To Get More Women On WrestleMania All The Time

    Nattie: I Want To Get More Women On WrestleMania All The Time

    Nattie has been consistently pushing for the WWE to feature more women on their WrestleMania cards.

    For the last couple of years, Nattie, one of the biggest veterans in the WWE today has been pushing for the WWE to involve more women on the Grandest Stage of Them All. However, many of those pitches haven’t gone in one ear without going through the other when it involves other higher-ups in the WWE.

    “One thing, when I pitch ideas and it really helps, be inclusive. I make sure lots of women are included,” Nattie said on Busted Open Radio.

    Chelsea Green, who was a guest on the show, confirmed Nattie’s willingness to involve others, saying, “Nattie is the queen of that. Every WrestleMania, Nattie is the number one pitcher for a women’s battle royal or multi-women tag match. Every year.”

     

    Nattie continued, “Three years in a row, I went to Vince (McMahon) and said, ‘I want to do a women’s gauntlet match. The winner of the gauntlet match gets to face the tag team champions the next night. I want to do a women’s fatal four-way where it’s four tag teams fighting for the title.’ I just want to get more women on the show all the time.”

    There have been multiple women’s tag team matches at WrestleMania, but a Women’s Gauntlet has not been held at WrestleMania since Nattie started pitching the ideas to Vince McMahon, and now to other higher-ups in the WWE.

  • Seth Rollins Explains Getting A Black Eye From Bron Breakker’s Spear

    Seth Rollins Explains Getting A Black Eye From Bron Breakker’s Spear

    Seth Rollins has had a tough week in the world of WWE. He lost to Gunther at WrestleMania, was speared multiple times by Bron Breakker and even has a black eye to show for it.

    This week, Seth Rollins joined the crew at The Rich Eisen Show to talk about the NFL Draft. It was there where host Rich Eisen realized Seth had a black eye, and asked what happened. Seth revealed that somehow, the black eye came from a Bron Breakker spear at WrestleMania.

    “Bron Breaker. Yeah. It was his foot. His foot gave it to me when he speared me, figure that out.” He said “This lunatic came so fast down the ramp when he flipped as he speared me, his foot hit me in the eye. I was on the ground writhing in pain because I couldn’t breathe, wondering why my eye was also swelling. The man has a real problem. He does not know his own speed, his own strength. He’s on autopilot in the scariest way.”

    After some confusion about how this could’ve possibly happened, Rollins explained that Bron basically hit a scorpion and his heel hit his eye.
    ”Targeted to my midsection, somehow double-tapped me on the way down. That’s how quick. I was not even on the ground before the foot got me in the face.” Seth continued “I think it was a heel. So he scorpioned up and wham, got me right. I’ve never seen it before. Hopefully I never have to see it again. I’m sick of it. Actually, I saw it twice on Monday, too. It’s not been a great weekend for me.”
    Rollins certainly has taken a beating this week. You can see the full interview with the man himself below.

    Cam’ron: Roman Reigns Does What Triple H Says, The Rock Wouldn’t

    Cam’ron had something to say after his name was mentioned on the Raw after WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

    Following the events that unfolded during the week of WrestleMania 42, rapper Cam’ron started some beef with Jey Uso, and it ended with him being pulled over his table and given a couple light scratches from the whole ordeal. However, it didn’t end there and is still continuing.

    After winning the World Heavyweight Championship, Roman Reigns was the final segment this past Monday on WWE Raw where he brought out the Usos and joined in on clowning Cam’ron after the incident with Jey.

    This would spark a response from Cam’ron where he name dropped Paul Levesque (Known in the ring as Triple H) and told the Tribal Chief to keep doing what the boss says before issuing a big challenge for SummerSlam against the Usos on his Instagram.

    “All I can do is laugh at you @romanreigns staying for Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania is like eating thanksgiving leftovers on Monday after thxgvn 🤦🏾‍♂️😂The Rock would Never

    “But you’re @tripleh lil lil employee. You better do what he says

    “@uceyjucey bring ya whole family and let’s settle this in August at #SummerSlam 🤷🏾‍♂️”

    It will be very interesting to see what the next response is from the Bloodline, or if the conversation and subject officially drops here before it escalates to something beyond both sides expectations.

    You can see the Instagram post from Cam’ron talking about Roman Reigns below.

  • Rob Parker: I Don’t Understand How Grown Men Still Like Wrestling

    Rob Parker: I Don’t Understand How Grown Men Still Like Wrestling

    Fox Sports’ Rob Parker had a lot to discuss when it came to the discussion of professional wrestling fans.

    After the massive weekend that was produced from plenty of pro wrestling companies, from the Indies to the WWE in Las Vegas, Nevada for Mania Week. It sparked a lot of athletes, celebrities, and even TV personalities diving into the conversation to give their thoughts on what they think about professional wrestling.

    One Fox Sports TV host by the name of Rob Parker had this to say about grown men that are into pro wrestling on his show, The Odd Couple.

    “I’m just shocked to see ESPN….I know McAfee was involved and Stephen A. It was a big ordeal. I saw stuff online where people were ripping it that it wasn’t good. A lot of commercials. Four hours and they only wrestled for an hour and a half. 

    “I can’t understand how grown men are still into wrestling. I can’t. We all went to the zoo. We all went to the circus as kids, right? At some point, you grow out of it. I just can’t get over how older guys who are sports fans, who watch the NFL, baseball, the NBA, and live and die for that stuff, but they have this soft spot for wrestling, and they’re walking around with the belts, and they’re going to a watch party at a sports bar. I need somebody to explain it to me, because I don’t understand it.”

    Parker has worked for FOX Sports and ESPN, where he has appeared many times on shows like Colin Cowherd’s The Herd and on First Take, alongside Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith where he talked about controversial takes in sports.

  • Kevin Nash Rips WWE Hall Of Fame Catering Situation

    Kevin Nash Rips WWE Hall Of Fame Catering Situation

    Kevin Nash has some thoughts on WWE’s catering, or lack-thereof at the WWE Hall Of Fame this past Friday.

    On the most recent episode of Kliq This, WWE legend Kevin Nash spoke about the logistical hurdles of the Hall of Fame ceremony. Nash noted that while the production was “massive,” the hospitality for the legends was basically nonexistent.

    Nash was there to induct the latest celebrity wing Hall Of Famer in Dennis Rodman, who went into the 2026 class. For many fans, they may not know that WWE has rehearsals for the event, which Kevin Nash noted he needed to show up at three o’clock until the end, which was last midnight. Worst part? There wasn’t much catering.

    “Be there at three o’clock, leave at midnight,” Nash stated. “Absolutely not a fcking bit of food available. Some bags of chips, a couple of fcking bananas… I asked the head of f*cking talent relations—and I won’t say his name—I asked him, ‘Is there food?’ He said the matches’ cards are catered, but [not the Hall of Fame].”

    Nash detailed a lot more about the Hall Of Fame and the day that occurred. You can watch the full episode below.
