The social media feud between Amanda Huber and Sarah Stock has escalated once again—and this time, the silence is louder than the shouting.

After days of dragging each other on X over wrestling content, parenting, and body-shaming, Amanda Huber has gone silent. She hasnâ€t posted in nearly two days, which stands out after her previous scorched-earth tweets accusing Stock of hypocrisy and mocking Stockâ€s old TNA matches.

While Huber stayed quiet, Sarah Stock made it clear she wasnâ€t done. On October 20, 2025, a user tried to call out Stockâ€s behavior, saying her comments about Amandaâ€s appearance were immature:

A user tweeted, “Thatâ€s fine, I donâ€t know you to know if youâ€d care or not that youâ€re coming across terribly… but throwing out insults about peopleâ€s appearances, calling them hysterical etc…. Just mean girl shit innit. Grow up.â€

Stock didnâ€t back down. Instead, she aired out more of whatâ€s allegedly been happening behind the scenes:

“She proved herself a clown. She left me a msg riddled with profanity before telling me to fuck ‘all the way off†publicly, for posting a video that made her look good. Anyone dumb enough to talk💩about the boss and a legendâ€s kid to the new girl doesnâ€t know abt the business.â€

Another account, @sarahlicity, accused Stock of changing her opinion on AEW content right after leaving the company, suggesting possible financial motivations. They wrote:

“Itâ€s a story weâ€ve seen a million times before: people getting upset with AEW because for some reason, TK wonâ€t pay them. And/or because theyâ€re being paid under the table by WWE. Itâ€s hilariously transparent. Sara Stock is just the newest grifter.â€

Stock clapped back, demanding clarity, “Sarah, please enlighten us. Whatâ€s going on?†@sarahlicity replied:

“I didnâ€t say she was being paid under the table by WWE. But I do find it interesting that her opinion on these spots in AEW changed in April 2025 of all months – the month she left the company – instead of, say, All In 2023, Revolution 2024, or All Out 2024.â€

And then Sarah Stock delivered the legal threat, “You explicitly said I was being paid by WWE, which is libelous and false. Are you looking to go to court?â€

With legal warnings now in the mix, this feud has gone from personal to potentially actionable. Whether Amanda Huber decides to re-enter the conversation or continue her silence remains to be seen.

This beef started over what kids should or shouldnâ€t see on a wrestling show. Now itâ€s snowballed into accusations, body shots, and court threats.

Former WWE star Gigi Dolin, now wrestling again under her original name Priscilla Kelly, isnâ€t holding back when it comes to AI-generated content.

On October 18, she jumped on Instagram Stories to vent her frustration with the flood of artificial intelligence videos clogging up her feed. In her post, Dolin admitted she often doesnâ€t realize a video is AI-generated until sheâ€s already halfway through, which kills her interest entirely.

“F*ckin pissed. Every video I watch is AI and I canâ€t tell until about half way through and then itâ€s immediately not funny or interesting.â€

She did make one exception, noting that some AI videos—specifically ones showing distorted or exploding bodies—still make her laugh.

“With the exception of the insanely AI ones of people bodies contorting and exploding. Those are funny.â€

Dolinâ€s frustration reflects a growing backlash against the rise of AI-generated content, a trend thatâ€s become increasingly hard to ignore across social media—and now, even in professional wrestling. As fans and creators push back against the blurring lines between real and artificial, WWE has fully leaned into the AI wave by hiring former BuzzFeed and ONE Championship producer Cyrus Kowsari to lead its creative strategy.

Do you agree with Gigi Dolin that AI-generated videos are ruining online content? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.

One minute he was burning through the top of the first inning with three flaming strikeouts.

Roar!

The next minute — literally — he was slugging through the bottom of the first by driving a ball 446 feet into the back of the right-field pavilion.

Roar! Roar!

Three innings later he was doing it again, striking out two batters in the top of the fourth inning before driving a ball 469 feet over the roof of the same right-field pavilion.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Then in the seventh inning after he had left the mound after six scoreless, 10-strikeout innings, he hammered history again, driving a ball 427 feet over the center-field fence to complete a three-homer night.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!

Shohei Ohtani, do you have any idea how you sound?

Dodger fans, do you realize what youâ€re watching here? Los Angeles, can you understand the singular greatness that plays here? Fall Classic, are you ready for another dose of Sho-time?

Ohtani and the Dodgers are back on baseballâ€s grandest stage, arguably the best player in baseball history concocting arguably the best single-game performance in postseason history, leading the defending champions back to the World Series with a four-game sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Championship Series.

“That was probably the greatest postseason performance of all time,†said Dodger manager Dave Roberts.

The final score was 5-1, but, really, it was over at 1-0, Ohtaniâ€s thunderous leadoff homer after his thundering three strikeouts igniting a dancing Dodger Stadium crowd and squelching the Brewers before the first inning was even 10 minutes old.

How far did that first home-run actually travel? Back, back, back into forever, it was the first leadoff homer by a pitcher in baseball history, regular season or postseason, a feat unmatched by even the legendary Babe Ruth.

The unicorn Ohtani basically created the same wizardry again in the fourth inning and added a third longball in the seventh in carrying the Dodgers to their second consecutive World Series and fifth in nine years while further cementing their status as one of baseballâ€s historic dynasties.

“This is really a team effort, so I hope everybody in L.A.and Japan and all over the world can enjoy a really good saki,†said Ohtani through his interpreter after accepting the NLCS MVP award while standing on the league championship stage.

Drink up. The milestones are staggering.

The Dodgers are attempting to become the first back-to-back champions in 25 years, since the 1999-2000 Yankees.

Beginning Oct. 24 against either the Seattle Mariners or Toronto Blue Jays, the Dodgers will enter this World Series with something none of those past great teams — or any teams ever — possessed.

All together now… Ohhhhhtani!

“It was really fun on both sides of the ball today,†said Ohtani in his only understatement of the evening.

And to think, before the game he was slumping, two-for-11 in the NLCS, batting .158 for the postseason, swinging so wildly that he actually emerged from his usual indoor batting cage fortress to take batting practice on the field during Wednesdayâ€s workout.

Facing nagging questions before the workout about whether the strain of pitching was affecting his hitting, he denied any correlation.

Don’t believe it.

“I don’t necessarily think that the pitching has affected my hitting performance,†he said at the time. “Just on the pitching side, as long as I control what I can control, I feel pretty good about putting up results. On the hitting side, just the stance, the mechanics, that’s something that I do — it’s a constant work in progress. I don’t necessarily think so. It’s hard to say.â€

Everyone should have known something was up during that special batting practice when Ohtani drove a ball off the right-field roof. He was clearly embarrassed by his performance and vowed to silence the critics.

“I was expecting nothing short of incredible, and he definitely surpassed that,†said teammate Max Muncy. “Unbelievable. Wow.â€

His pitching was never in question — he was the winning pitcher with six strong innings in the division series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies — but he came out firing anyway Friday in the top of the first when he struck out two Brewers on 100-mph fastballs and another on an 88-mph breaking ball.

In the bottom of the first, he finally shut everybody up when he connected on a full-count slurve from the Brewers†lefty starter Jose Quintana and drove it into oblivion.

“Yeah, yep. I think there was a lot of talk that he was scuffling at the plate, he doesn’t swing the bat well when he’s pitching,†said Roberts. “And all those things I think were fuel to his fire.â€

Nearly the same scene repeated itself in the fourth inning, two strikeouts followed by a deafening home run against Chad Patrick.

By then, he was so overpowering in so many ways, in the sixth inning fans started a cheer with a timing likely never before heard at a baseball game.

They chanted, “MVP…MVP…MVP while Ohtani was on the mound.

When Ohtani finally left the game in the seventh after giving up a walk and a single, organist Dieter Ruehle played, “Jesus Christ Superstar†while the stadium shook with a prolonged standing ovation.

But he wasnâ€t done yet.

“It’s kind of, whatever you don’t expect, expect him to do it,†said Roberts.

After finishing six two-hit innings on the mound, he came out of the dugout again in the seventh. For most great pitchers, theyâ€d only emerge for a curtain call. But this being Ohtani, he was still in the game, and for pitcher Trevor Megill, it was curtains.

The fastball disappeared into the crowd and what eventually emerged was surely the greatest postseason stat line in baseball history.

Three home runs at the plate, six shutout innings with 10 strikeouts on the mound, in an NLCS game that sent his team to the World Series.

“There wasnâ€t one person in the dugout that didnâ€t think he was going to hit a home run,†said Muncy. “He hits the second one, and weâ€re like, is this the single greatest game anyone has ever played? At the same time, it was like, you know heâ€s going to hit a third one. No one even questioned it.â€

Afterward the carefully soft-spoken Ohtani actually came close to saying “I told you so,†but demurred. He is unfailingly polite. He is terribly boring But he burns. Watching him play, you can tell, he burns.

“This time around it was my turn to be able to perform,†Ohtani said. “And I think just looking back over the course of the entire postseason, I haven’t performed to the expectation, but I think today we saw what the left-handed hitters could do.â€

Frankly, we saw what we thought nobody  could ever do.

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders was unhappy to learn of the Big 12’s rules against rushing the field following his team’s 24-17 upset of No. 22 Iowa State.

The home crowd celebrated the victory by running onto the playing surface, which will draw a fine from the conference.

“How is it $50,000 for rushing the field?” Sanders said in his postgame press conference. “Wow. Shoot. I’m sorry. Wow, fifty grand.”

Still, Coach Prime said that “I absolutely love” to see Colorado students running out of their seats in jubilation and that the automatic fine “ain’t right.”

The Hall of Fame cornerback called the result “kind of vital” for his previously 2-4 squad.

“Your season could go this way or that way. And the most frustrating part about it is that we’re good,” he told reporters. “And I know this sounds crazy, especially when you say the record aloud, but we’re good, we haven’t really gotten our butts kicked. I take a good whooping. I grew up taking a good whooping, so I don’t mind that, but when we’re losing it with self-inflicted wounds, it bothers you.

“But today, right before we completed that third down pass [on the final drive], we said, guys, this is it. This is game. We get this first down, we’re gonna win. We don’t, we can put it on the defense. Anything can happen. They had two or three timeouts at the time, so it was gonna be tough, but we got it. We persevered.”

A three-yard touchdown pass from Kaidon Salter to Joseph Williams put the Buffs ahead 21-17 in the third quarter, and Alejandro Mata added a 29-yard field goal with 5:13 left in the contest.

Iowa State had three opportunities in the fourth quarter to either reclaim the lead or tie the score.

Rocco Becht threw an interception on a 3rd-and-goal from the Coloado 7-yard line at the 13:29 mark. The Cyclones’ next possession ended in a turnover on downs, and their last drive culminated in a punt.

Colorado also kept the Iowa State offense off the field for the final 3:48. A critical 38-yard completion to Williams from Salter on 3rd-and-16 effectively iced the game.

Colorado’s outlook is much different at 3-4 than it would’ve been at 2-5.

Matching last year’s nine wins will require running the table in the regular season and then winning a bowl game. Three victories from five games will at least guarantee bowl eligibility for the second straight season, something the Buffs haven’t achieved since 2005.

During The Hurt Syndicate’s AEW World Tag Team Championship reign, reports emerged that claimed that MVP specifically took issue with “Speedball” Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight, and opposed THS losing the titles to the tag team. However, MVP recently sat down with “TMZ Sports,” where he addressed the aforementioned report as well as claims that the AEW locker room calls Tony Khan ‘the Snowman’ backstage.

“Not us? I don’t know where that came from, I don’t know who put that out there; I don’t,” he exclaimed, shooting down the claims that the locker room has been echoing Ariel Helwani’s shot against Khan in 2023. “That’s not anything that I’ve ever called him, or I haven’t heard that…Then again, you gotta remember you know: these people that run these, you know, what traditionally called ‘dirt sheets?’ It’s all clickbait.”

MVP further claimed that controversy sells, and therefore, reports are always negatively slanted. “It’s just gossip passed off as legitimate journalism, and it’s laughable, because it’s always from ‘a source,'” he claimed, adding that he has never denied saying things he’s actually said. “I think it’s a real b**ch move to go and leak rumors about people you might like or dislike to the dirt sheets; that’s lame.” However, MVP claims he understands why the dirt sheets exist as fans all simply want to peek behind the curtain, but still asserts it’s done more damage to the industry than anything else. “I feel that most of these dirt sheet people are leeches on pro wrestling, because what do they contribute to the business overall? They make a living off of it – like parasites – but what do they contribute to the game?”

‘If there’s some f**kery going on, I don’t know about it!’

AEW/Lee South

When it came to the reports of the heat between him and Jetspeed, MVP not only shut the rumors down but also gave a glowing account of his experience backstage at AEW. “My experience in the AEW locker room? I – you know – there was some erroneous reporting some time ago that I had heat with somebody that I had absolutely no issue with,” the veteran claimed, adding that everybody in the locker room today seems to be friendly with one another. “If there’s some f**kery going on, I don’t know about it! You know, everybody seems to be awesome, I – you know – I don’t have anybody giving me side-eyes.”

MVP then expressed that the younger guys in the locker room seem respectful to him and claimed that he tries to return the favor whenever he gets the chance to. “If somebody doesn’t walk up and shake my hand and speak to me, I’m not mad at them for it,” he added, seemingly referencing the history of veterans being upset with rookies not greeting locker room leaders in the past. “It’s an etiquette faux pas, you know, but a lot of the time – I know that the business is changing – and certain things that were once a standard of how things are, aren’t necessarily that way anymore.”

Kevin Nash was less than pleased to see his recent royalties coming in and touched on how much of a shift he’s seen in that regard since Endeavor bought WWE in 2023.

On his podcast Kliq This, Nash was speaking to his co-host Sean Oliver about a conversation that the former previously had with his WWE Hall of Fame peer Sean Waltman also known as X-Pac. Nash mentioned that he was chatting with Waltman for one of their weekly calls and the latter laughed on the phone mentioning that obviously ‘Big Daddy Cool’ had received his recent round of royalties.

In responding to Waltman and then touching on how he had seen the signs of a shift in the wake of TKO’s takeover of everything, Nash said:

“I said, ‘Holy f**k.†I said, ‘The last one was good… this one was rotten.†I mean, it was half… When I was making huge money in my royalties, it was broken down. It would say ‘nWo t-shirtsâ€, ‘nWo womenâ€s t-shirtsâ€. Now it says ‘nWo intellectual property†and thereâ€s just a number.”

“It got weird when they sold. It started when they sold, all of a sudden… the weirdness starts.”

Kevin Nash continues to expound upon his thoughts on recent TKO royalties

Kevin Nash is not the only one noticing a change of the times with the major paradigm shift in WWE since merging with UFC under the TKO umbrella. It is a multi-pronged situation with many consumers also noticing seemingly ever growing price points with being a WWE fan. This comes across both in terms of wanting to attend live events but also for those watching the product at home.

To revisit the Nash point, the former WWE and WCW champion said he could ultimately speak only to his situation but stated that the recent shift in royalty amounts is to the scale of several millions of dollars. Nash also pontificated on what the difference in that sense would be for figures like The Rock or Steve Austin who, per Nash, command greater percentages of their merchandising royalties and the like.

Kevin Nash did mention in a cursory way that he brielfy had the idea of involving forensic accountaunts for the purposes of a lawsuit. But after his co-host Oliver mentioned Nash was a TKO shareholder, the former NWO member mentioned that while his long time friend Paul Levesque was in charge that Nash would simply roll along with whatever is happening with TKO considering his connection to Triple H.

New York’s famed Bethpage Black course is decked out and ready for the 2025 Ryder Cup. But one former captain, Paul Azinger, thinks the PGA of America chose the wrong course to host the event.

But Azinger went far beyond that with his criticism in a recent appearance on Trey Wingo’s “Straight Facts Homie!” podcast, saying he “couldn’t stand” Bethpage Black and claiming that the U.S. Ryder Cup players “don’t love” and “don’t know” the beloved municipal course on Long Island.

Paul Azinger rips Bethpage Black, host of 2025 Ryder Cup

Azinger has earned the right to speak his mind about the U.S. Ryder Cup team. After all, he was a star player in his prime and later captained the U.S. team to victory in the 2008 Ryder Cup at Valhalla.

And on Wingo’s podcast, speak his mind he did. Among the hot takes the former captain offered up was a withering criticism of this year’s host course, the Black Course at Bethpage State Park.

‘I don’t agree with it’: Tom Watson takes issue with 2 Ryder Cup rule changes

By:

Kevin Cunningham

Designed by court architecture legend A.W. Tillinghast, Bethpage Black is ranked No. 34 on GOLF’s Top 100 Courses in the U.S. list and 60th on the Top 100 Courses in the World list.

But Azinger has no love for the famed course, at which he missed the cut during the 2002 U.S. Open.

“This golf course, I’m like you. I couldn’t stand it,” Azinger told Wingo. “I played my practice rounds, I did my two rounds and I think I was 18 over for two days there in the U.S. Open. The media loved it because it was a public course. What are you gonna do if they play the U.S. Open there every five years? I guess I’ll take every fifth year off.”

He continued by criticizing specific design aspects that to some represent the strategic genius of the course. But Azinger has no fondness for them.

“I really don’t like Bethpage Black. There’s a lot of awkward angles, downhill tee shots to fairways that angle away, uphill second shots where you can’t see the landing area,” Azinger said. “It’s just hard and you cannot fluke your way around there.”

Azinger claims U.S. Ryder Cup team doesn’t know Bethpage Black

The 2008 U.S. Ryder Cup captain didn’t limit his criticism to his own personal feelings about Bethpage Black. He also claimed that it was a “mistake” awarding the course the Ryder Cup because the American players “aren’t familiar the course. In that way, Azinger argued, the U.S. team takes no advantage from playing the Ryder Cup there.

“Nope, not at all. We don’t know the course,” Azinger said. “I think one of the biggest mistakes that the American Ryder Cup team always seems to make, or the PGA of America, is they go to courses that we’re not familiar with.”

Many of the players do know the course and have played a major championship there. Bethpage Black first hosted the U.S. Open in 2002 and again in 2009. While those tournaments were before many current players’ careers began, the Black more recently hosted the 2019 PGA Championship.

This New York Ryder Cup will be crazy. Question is, how crazy?

By:

Alan Bastable

It also hosted the Barclays PGA Tour event in 2012 and 2014. But the team’s knowledge of the course goes beyond that.

U.S. captain Keegan Bradley played the course regularly in college, and team member Cameron Young, a New York native, won the 2017 New York State Open at the Black Course.

Earlier this summer at the Tour Championship, Young professed his love for the course.

“I’ve just always loved it. It’s just a straight-forward, big-boy golf course. There’s just not much funky about it. The greens are not crazy, the fairways aren’t really, really narrow. It’s long, but it’s not the longest place in the world,” Young said at East Lake. “But it’s just straight-forward, it’s difficult. That’s the kind of golf I like.”

But Azinger argued that opposite, claiming that he could “guarantee” that the U.S. players don’t love Bethpage Black.

“I feel like Keegan’s going to have to get these guys on a mission and on a mission quickly and single-minded to figure out how to fall in love with Bethpage Black. I guarantee you they don’t love it either. Me and you don’t love it. They don’t love it,” Azinger said. “Europe doesn’t care what the course is. Our guys might.”

Later in the podcast appearance, Azinger offered up another reason the U.S. doesn’t have an advantage at the Black Course by claiming captain Bradley doesn’t have control over the course setup.

“I know that neither team has control of the course now, allegedly,” Azinger claimed. “Europe’s always controlled the course on us. I’m the only American captain that ever – was the first captain that wanted to control the course in some capacity and so I don’t know if they’ve lost that ability now to do that, but I see no advantage.”

He also echoed a recent talking point from European captain Luke Donald about the New York fans. Azinger believes if the U.S. plays badly, the crowd could turn on the American team.

“Even the crowd. I feel if the U.S. gets off to a bad start, even the crowd can be volatile there,” Azinger said. “That’s why I told Keegan right out of the gate, buddy, you gotta win the crowd.”

Azinger says U.S. must out-prepare Europe

Despite all of his criticisms of the 2025 host course, Azinger also expressed confidence in the U.S. captain and the team’s preparation, contrasting it to a lack of preparation at the 2023 Ryder Cup.

“We got out-prepared last time, and I don’t think we’ll get out-prepared this time,” Azinger said. “Our guys are playing coming in, they didn’t play five weeks in a row going into the Ryder Cup in Italy, which was a disaster.”

‘So much trouble’: Keegan Bradley talks sneaking onto Bethpage Black

By:

Josh Berhow

He continued: “They just destroyed us in that Ryder Cup. There’s no shortcut to success, you’re not going to hope for it or wish for it. We have the 12 best Americans, and they just have to out-prepare the Europeans, in a nutshell.”

Toward the end of the interview, Azinger reiterated that he thinks Captain Bradley has everything “buttoned up.” But he offered one last piece of advice for the 2025 U.S. captain.

“I wouldn’t play videos of people like Michael Jordan wishing them luck and the President wishing them luck, that just makes you want to throw up,” Azinger said. “It doesn’t help me. I already know they want us to win. It didn’t help me ever, I hated it. It made me more nervous.”

The first matches of the 2025 Ryder Cup get underway Friday morning, September 26th.

Jonathan Coachman didnâ€t hold back after realizing WWE left him out of their WrestlePalooza tribute video—and he took his frustration straight to Triple H.

WWE kicked off its new era with ESPN at WrestlePalooza by airing a slick opening video narrated by Triple H. The package celebrated the crossover legacy between WWE and ESPN. But one major name was noticeably absent: Coachman, who helped bridge that exact relationship during his time with the company.

Coachman voiced his disappointment in a direct post on Twitter/X, making it clear he felt disrespected by the omission.

“The fact that me and my team didnâ€t make this package hurts us a little. We took Sportscenter to multiple Manias. We did Tuesday interviews from Smackdown for over 2 years.â€

He then took a jab at WWE for including anchors with no real wrestling background instead of those who actually put in the work.

“But at least anchors that donâ€t know anything about wrestling made it. Thank you TRIPS. LOL. To my 5 guys who rolled with me we know.â€

Coachmanâ€s frustration isnâ€t coming out of nowhere. Heâ€s been vocal for years about how WWE has treated him, and heâ€s already gone on record confirming he has no plans to return to the company ever again.

Whether this was an oversight or something more personal, Coachmanâ€s absence from the tribute video only added to the perception that WWEâ€s relationship with former talent isnâ€t always smooth—especially when the politics behind the scenes start showing.

Do you think WWE intentionally left Jonathan Coachman out of the video? Should Triple H have acknowledged his contributions to the ESPN partnership? Drop your thoughts below.

What do you think—was Jonathan Coachman unfairly snubbed by WWE and Triple H? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
