According to PWInsider, there is growing optimism within WWE that Liv Morgan could be cleared for an in-ring return by early 2026.

Liv Morgan suffered a horrific injury on the June 16th edition of Monday Night Raw. During her match with Kairi Sane, Morgan dislocated her shoulder and has been out of action ever since.

As per the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, some WWE higher-ups reportedly remain uncertain whether Karrion Kross and Scarlett’s departure from the company is real or part of a storyline. Regardless, the belief is that both will eventually return to the company.

Additionally, according to the Observer, “One person involved in independent wrestling” commented that Kross and Scarlett are “charging a very high price tag.” The individual believes Karrion Kross and Scarlett’s WWE exit is entirely part of a storyline.

El Grande Americano to win the AAA Mega title

According to BodySlam.net, multiple people in WWE and Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) are pushing for El Grande Americano to win the AAA Mega Championship tonight at TripleMania.

The 33rd edition of AAA Triplemania is set for August 16, 2025, from the Arena CDMX in Mexico City. It will be the first edition of the show to be held under WWE, following the acquisition of AAA by the Stamford-based promotion. 

AAA Mega Champion El Hijo Del Vikingo is set to defend the title in a four-way match against Dominik Mysterio, Dragon Lee, and El Grande Americano.

WWE to purchase TNA Wrestling

Dave Meltzer reported that, according to a WWE source, the company’s partnership with TNA is structured much like the agreements it once had with European independent promotions. Those past deals included a clause giving WWE “the option, for a set period of time, to purchase TNA.”

The report further adds that the agreement gives WWE the “right of first refusal to match any other offers for TNA.” In effect, this means any potential buyer would need to be on good terms with the Stamford-based promotion, since the company could just match the bid and acquire TNA itself.

This comes after Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful reported that there’s a wave of unconfirmed speculations circulating in the wrestling world that Lorenzo Fertitta might be looking to purchase the promotion.

Fertitta, alongside his brother Frank Fertitta the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) in 2001 through their company Zuffa LLC. Under their leadership, the UFC grew into a global sports powerhouse. The UFC is now under the TKO banner alongside the Stamford-based promotion.
