‘No plans’ for Ronda Rousey to be back in AEW - Lemmy.zip

>Ronda Rousey shocked everyone when she made her AEW debut at the Revolution PPV, but there are no plans for her to come back anytime soon. > >However, just weeks after her AEW appearance, several reports have emerged regarding her All Elite status. Recently, our Bryan Alvarez confirmed that there are “no plans for Ronda Rousey to be back anytime soon.” > >PWInsider also reported that she was “not expected back” in AEW anytime soon. Her appearance at Revolution was designed to promote her MMA comeback against Gina Carano, and she appeared in support of Marina Shafir, who lost to Toni Storm. > >The report also explored that since the Revolution, PPV was local for Rousey, and in the same place as her fight against Gina Carano, it made sense for all involved to appear on the PPV. Fightful Select had previously reported that Rousey had not yet signed a contract with AEW. > >Rousey is scheduled to make her MMA return against Gina Carano on May 16, 2026, under the banner of MVP (Most Valuable Promotions) at Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.

>Former WWE Champion “Sycho” Sid Eudy will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as a legacy inductee and a member of the Class of 2026. > >A former two-time WWE Champion, Sid was one of the most imposing and terrifying competitors of his generation whose natural charisma popped off the screen every Monday night. > >After a successful stint in WCW, Sid debuted as Sid Justice in WWE and served as the Special Guest Referee at SummerSlam 1991 where WWE Champion Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior teamed up against The Triangle of Terror in a 3-on-2 Handicap Match. > >Later that same night, Sid saved Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth from an attack at the evil hands of Jake Roberts and The Undertaker at the couple’s iconic newlywed reception. > >After a few years away from WWE, Sid made his triumphant return to WWE as “Sycho Sid,” where he allied himself with Shawn Michaels and was in his corner at WrestleMania XI when The Heartbreak Kid challenged Diesel for the WWE Title. > >That night would begin an iconic rivalry between the two with Sid winning the WWE Championship from The Showstopper at Survivor Series in 1996, joining the hallowed ranks of champions. After losing the title back to Michaels, Sid became a two-time champion by defeating Bret Hart on the Feb. 17, 1997 edition of Raw. > >Established as one of the biggest and baddest wrestlers in the world, Sid returned to WCW in 1999 and immediately entered the main event scene, battling legends like Hulk Hogan, Sting, Goldberg, Booker T and many more. > >An injury in 2001 threatened Sid’s career, but he refused to stay on the sidelines and returned to the independent wrestling scene with his return match even featuring current WWE Superstar Sami Zayn. > >Sid passed away in 2024, but his influence is still seen in wrestling rings across the world. > >Known as “The Master and Ruler of the World”, Sid’s reputation as one of the toughest and most visually captivating Superstars cemented his legacy in WWE, and he will now take his rightful place amongst his fellow legends in the WWE Hall of Fame.

After last Sunday’s Revolution, she was set to rematch Marina Shafir in Fresno, California, this past Wednesday but was pulled at the last minute as she was not cleared to wrestle. > >On Sunday’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer said what Storm is dealing with is “not an injury or anything like that” and that AEW found out whatever they found out on Wednesday after being under the impression as late as Wednesday morning that they were proceeding as planned. > >“On Wednesday, she is there. She is set up to wrestle in this match and they had to do this emergency angle to take her out and put Mina Shirakawa in,” Meltzer said. > >Shirakawa took Storm’s place against Shafir in the previously announced no holds barred match and picked up an upset win. She will now challenge reigning champion Thekla on this Wednesday’s Dynamite. > >Fightful Select reported this past week that AEW is prepared for Storm “to not be cleared to wrestle through 2026 at a minimum.” > >In a clip that aired on social media just prior to Dynamite and then during the broadcast, Storm was shown laid out in a pool of blood with Shirakawa and Luther attending to her. Fightful also noted AEW has plans for the mystery attacker storyline as there were various “Easter eggs” in the room Storm was laid out in.
