The Hardy Boyz are riding high on a wave of momentum as of October 12, 2025, ahead of their title defense against Team 3D at TNA Bound For Glory.
Jeff Hardy (48) and Matt Hardy (51) are in the dusk of their wrestling careers. Team 3D (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley), who pioneered the TLC match alongside The Hardy Boyz and Edge & Christian, will wrestle for the last time this Sunday. They will challenge for the TNA Tag Team Championship and the NXT Tag Team Championship, both of which are currently in possession of The Hardys.
The Hardy Boyz Only Signed A One-Year Deal With TNA
The Hardy Boyz signed with TNA in November 2024 for another run. Fightful Select has confirmed those were one-year deals. Sources in the company have said that the deal has been mutually beneficial and a lot of positive has emerged from it. It should not surprise anyone that Jeff and Matt Hardy are still heavily in demand and have stayed hours after TNA shows to honor meet-and-greets.
While TNA hopes to retain them, at the time of this writing, their contracts will be up next month. Unless a contract extension has been discreetly negotiated, The Hardy Boyz will be on their way out sooner rather than later.
Matt Hardy Hints At Retirement From In-Ring Competition
During an episode of TNA Impact three months ago, Matt Hardy articulated his thoughts regarding the latest run of The Hardy Boyz. According to Matt, they don’t want to overstay their welcome, and the business will move on long after they retire.
Weâ€re being very real with ourselves, and we donâ€t want to overstay our welcome, because the business will move on after the Hardy Boyz are gone,†he said.
Meanwhile, Jeff Hardy has openly stated earlier this year that the “perfect ending” to his wrestling career would be a world title win and, most importantly, a WWE Hall of Fame induction.
Just one day after confirming her departure from WWE, Stevie Turner has dropped a major update — sheâ€s stepping back into the ring.
Turner, who recently served as the on-screen General Manager of WWE EVOLVE and was assistant to NXT GM Ava, confirmed her release on October 10. But sheâ€s not wasting time getting back to action. In a post that immediately caught fan attention, Turner revealed sheâ€s getting ready to compete again.
“Canâ€t believe Iâ€m gonna get to wrestle again.â€
Turner was signed by WWE in 2021 as part of the NXT UK brand. Before her shift to a managerial role, she worked matches on NXT UK and WWE Level Up, and even faced TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace during Graceâ€s guest appearance on NXT in June 2024. Turnerâ€s last in-ring match came in February at an NXT live event.
Before WWE, she built a strong name on the independent circuit as Bobbi Tyler, with runs in STARDOM and RevPro.
Her exit from WWE was unexpected given her prominent role in helping launch the EVOLVE brand on Tubi. Introduced as EVOLVEâ€s GM during the March 26, 2025 episode, Turner played a central role in the showâ€s early narrative direction. On October 10, she announced her exit with a message that kept things optimistic.
“My time with WWE has come to an end. Iâ€ve had a brilliant time and Iâ€m so excited for the future 😆 see you soon!â€
Now with her in-ring return confirmed, fans are already speculating where Stevie Turner might land — and who she might face next.
Are you excited to see Stevie Turner back inside the ropes? Which promotion should she join next? Drop your thoughts in the comments and let us know who youâ€d book her against first.
Mercedes Moné just proved once again that sheâ€s not just the CEO of AEW — sheâ€s one of the most dominant champions in modern wrestling. At BODYSLAM Wrestlingâ€s latest event in Denmark, Moné dethroned Aliss Ink to win the BODYSLAM Womenâ€s Championship and claim her 10th career title.
This wasnâ€t just any title win. Aliss Ink walked into the main event with an undefeated streak as champion that lasted 1,100 days, and Moné was coming in determined to make history. Both women gave everything they had in a match that had the crowd on their feet, chanting “This is awesome!†from bell to bell.
The finish saw Mercedes deliver her signature move and score the clean pinfall, ending Inkâ€s historic reign and planting another flag in her growing international legacy.
Now with 10 championships to her name, Mercedes Moné has added yet another promotion to her list of conquered territories. From dominating in WWE to becoming a star in NJPW, shining in AEW, and now leaving her mark in BODYSLAM Wrestling, Moné continues to make it clear — sheâ€s not slowing down. In fact, sheâ€s looking to rack up even more gold in 2025.
Is Mercedes Moné on her way to becoming the most decorated woman in wrestling history? Drop your thoughts in the comments — where do you want to see her go next?

MELBOURNE, Australia — Russia-born Australian tennis player Daria Kasatkina says she’s ending the season early for the sake of her mental wellbeing after hitting “breaking point” on tour.
The 19th-ranked Kasatkina, a French Open semifinalist in 2022, said Monday she has been left drained by the constant travel on the tour schedule, a stressful process to gain permanent residency in Australia, and being unable to see her parents.
Kasatkina, who is engaged to figure skating Olympic medalist Natalia Zabiiako, told the Times of London in 2023 that she can’t go back to Russia “as a gay person who opposes the war” in Ukraine.
“Truth is, I’ve hit a wall and can’t continue. I need a break. A break from the monotonous daily grind of life on the tour, the suitcases, the results, the pressure, the same faces (sorry, girls), everything that comes with this life,” Kasatkina wrote on Instagram.
“The schedule is too much, mentally and emotionally I am at breaking point and sadly, I am not alone.”
She added she plans to return in 2026 “energized and ready to rock”.
Kasatkina said she had been “far from fine for a long time” and her results on court had suffered while she “kept a lid” on how she felt for fear of seeming ungrateful.
She’s the latest in a series of players including Elina Svitolina and Beatriz Haddad Maia who have opted to end their seasons early for extra rest.
Kasatkina’s last match on tour was a straight-set loss to Sonay Kartal in the second round of the China Open on Sept. 27 and her last tour title was at the Ningbo Open in Oct. 2024.
“I am at breaking point and sadly I am not alone.
“Add in to the mix the emotional and mental stress related to my nationality switch and there is only so much I can deal with and take as an individual woman.
“If this makes me weak, then so be it, I’m weak.
“However, I know I am strong and will get stronger by being away and recharging.
“It’s time I listened to myself for a change.”
Former top-five players Elina Svitolina and Paula Badosa ended their seasons early in recent weeks.
Ukraine’s Svitolina said she had “not been feeling like myself”, while Badosa has spoken about the mental toll of an ongoing back problem.
Other players have also spoken about the impact of the tennis calendar.
Five players retired injured in two tournaments in China last week, with six-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek saying the season is too long and intense.
The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) has made it mandatory for top players to participate in each Grand Slam, 10 WTA 1000 events and six 500-level tournaments.
The majority of 1000 events on the WTA and men’s ATP Tour last two weeks, as do all four Grand Slams.
Players can skip mandatory events if they injured or have personal reasons, but they will receive no rankings points or prize money if they do not play.
Former world number one Novak Djokovic, who has slimmed down his schedule in recent years to protect his body, has called on players to be more united, external in forcing change.
SEATTLE — This place has been waiting to erupt for 24 long years, way back to when Julio Rodríguez was still in diapers in the Dominican Republic and eons away from his baseball journey that would bring him to the moment that Seattle has been starved for on Saturday night.
And the palpable anticipation was fittingly delivered by the player whoâ€s become a true showman of sports in this city.
RodrÃguez emphatically put Seattle on the board with a 413-foot solo homer in the fourth inning that broke a scoreless tie in Game 1 of the American League Division Series vs. the Tigers. He then ripped a game-tying RBI single in the sixth that eventually pushed the game to extras, but the Mariners came up short in a 3-2 loss in the 11th.
“The fans were definitely really loud out there,†RodrÃguez said. “They were bringing it. They were really bringing it.â€
The homer marked the Mariners†first run at T-Mobile Park in a postseason game since Game 2 of the AL Championship Series on Oct. 18, 2001 — when RodrÃguezâ€s manager (Dan Wilson) was the teamâ€s catcher and his longtime mentor (Ichiro Suzuki) was that yearâ€s AL MVP.
RodrÃguez — who was born on Dec. 29, 2000 — was not even 1 year old at the time. But such are the stakes for a player determined to turn the tides for a franchise whose unflattering playoff history over the past two decades has been rooted in their organizational fabric.
“The way I think about it is, just because we haven’t done it doesn’t mean that we can’t do it,†RodrÃguez said recently, in the leadup to the playoffs. “I feel like that’s how I see it, and I feel like that’s at least for myself, and I just hope for the team, too, that we will bring that mentality. Just because somebody hasn’t done it doesn’t mean that we can’t do it.â€
The Mariners†most recent playoff contest in Seattle — the infamous 18-inning marathon in Game 3 of the 2022 ALDS — was a 1-0 loss to the Astros. And unfortunately for them, Saturdayâ€s game featured similar offensive shortcomings, as RodrÃguez went 3-for-5 and drove in both of the Mariners†runs, but the rest of the lineup went a combined 3-for-33.
“Today is over,†RodrÃguez said. “Gear up for tomorrow, get ready for the new game. Come with the same mentality, to come and attack and be ready to compete. Thatâ€s how weâ€ll bounce back from this; thatâ€s how weâ€ve done it in the past.â€
On Saturday, RodrÃguez connected on a 2-2 fastball from Tigers starter Troy Melton — who was dynamite up to that point — and sent it just to the right of the batterâ€s eye beyond straightaway center, the type of landing spot that only elite right-handed hitters can reach, leaving his bat at 109.2 mph.
“That’s what we needed,†Mariners third baseman Eugenio Suárez said. “That was a big homer right there, and then we had the momentum.â€
The big blast came one week after RodrÃguezâ€s most recent game action, when he achieved his second career 30/30 season upon stealing his 29th and 30th bases before resting in the regular-season finale. He finished the year with 32 homers, tied for his career high set in 2023.
RodrÃguez earned his third career All-Star selection this season but opted not to go due to the need for a mental and physical reset. That decision, coincidentally, came in the Mariners†most recent meeting with the Tigers — a three-game sweep at Comerica Park from July 11-13.
It was that series that represented a turning point to his season, because he homered in all three games then put together one of the sportâ€s most productive stretches, leading MLB with 3.8 wins above replacement, per FanGraphs, the rest of the way.
RodrÃguez had hit 112 career homers entering these playoffs — but Saturdayâ€s was his first in the postseason. The Mariners could certainly use more of them if theyâ€re going to rebound and advance.

NEW YORK — Philadelphia’s Trea Turner won his second National League batting title with a record-low .304 average, and the New York Yankees’ Aaron Judge earned his first American League championship by leading the major leagues at .331.
San Diego’s Tony Gwynn had the previous low for an NL champion at .313 in 1988. The only lower average by any batting champion was .301 by Boston’s Carl Yastrzemski, who won the AL title in 1968.
Turner, who went 0-for-2 on Sunday in his return from a strained right hamstring, was the NL’s only .300 hitter. The previous low of three was set in 2022 and matched last year.

“Everyone throws 100 [mph]. Everyone has six pitches. Nobody knows where the ball’s going,” Turner said. “Defenses are way better than they’ve ever been.”
Philadelphia had not had a batting champion since Richie Ashburn in 1958. Turner also won a batting title in 2021 when he led the major leagues at .328 for Washington and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Seven qualified big leaguers hit .300 or better, matching last year for the fewest since a record-low six in 1968.
Judge became the third player to hit 50 or more homers and win a batting title, after Jimmie Foxx in 1938 and Mickey Mantle in 1956. He is the fifth player since the expansion era started in 1961 to lead the major leagues in batting average, slugging percentage (.688) and on-base percentage (.457), after George Brett in 1980, Larry Walker in 1999, Barry Bonds in 2002 and Miguel Cabrera in 2013.
At 6-foot-7, Judge is the tallest batting champion. The previous high of 6-foot-5 included Derrek Lee, Joe Mauer, John Olerud, Dave Parker and Frank Thomas.
“I just gave him a ball and said, ‘You know, Tony Gwynn, Rod Carew, Wade Boggs, you’re in that company now,'” Yankees manager Aaron Boone told Judge.
“Those are legends in the game who will be talked about forever,” Judge said a short while later. “Getting a chance to be with that group is something I don’t take lightly.”
Toronto’s Bo Bichette was a distant second at .311.
Seven players had 30 homer-30 stolen base seasons, three more than the previous high. Arizona‘s Corbin Carroll, the Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm Jr., the Chicago Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong, the New York Mets’ Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto, Cleveland’s José RamÃrez and Seattle’s Julio RodrÃguez all achieved the feat.
Kansas City’s Bobby Witt Jr. led in doubles with 47, while the Mets’ Pete Alonso and Atlanta’s Matt Olson tied atop the NL with 41.
Arizona’s Carroll had 17 triples and became the first player to lead the NL in three straight years since Garry Templeton in 1977-79. Boston’s Jarren Duran had 13 and led the AL for the second consecutive season.
José Caballero, acquired by the Yankees from Tampa Bay in July, led the AL in stolen bases for the second straight season with 49. Soto and Pittsburgh’s Oneil Cruz tied for the NL lead with 38 each.
There were zero no-hitters for first time since 2005, and no team won 100 games in consecutive seasons for the first time since since 2012-14.
Max Fried of the Yankees led the major leagues with 19 wins and Milwaukee’s Freddy Peralta topped the NL with 17.
There were no 20-game winners in consecutive non-shortened seasons for the first time in major league history. The only other non-shortened seasons without a 20-game winner were 1871, 2006, 2009 and 2017.
Pittsburgh’s Paul Skenes at 1.97 became the first qualified pitcher with an ERA under 2.00 since Justin Verlander in 2022. The 23-year-old right-hander was the youngest pitcher with a sub-2.00 ERA since 20-year-old Dwight Gooden’s 1.53 in 1985.
Detroit left-hander Tarik Skubal won his second straight AL ERA title at 2.21.
Boston lefty Garrett Crochet led the major leagues with 255 strikeouts, and San Francisco righty Logan Webb topped the NL at 224.
Kansas City’s Carlos Estévez led the major leagues with 42 saves, and San Diego’s Robert Suarez had an NL-leading 40.
Itâ€s the end of the road for our Ramp to Camp series. So, itâ€s only fitting we try to predict how the 2025-26 season will end for the Boston Celtics.
For the 20th and final installment of Ramp to Camp, we asked our panel to predict both the Celtics†final win total for the upcoming campaign, and how exactly the season will end.
Maybe this writer is just drunk on Green Kool-Aid from being over at the Auerbach Center this week. Maybe weâ€re just feeling all the positive vibes as new owner Bill Chisholm ascends to the big chair. Or maybe weâ€re overreacting to watching Jayson Tatum saunter across the court at the Auerbach Center looking impossibly smooth despite still being in the early stages of his rehab from Achilles surgery. Or maybe weâ€ve just heard too many tales of just how energized Joe Mazzulla is to coach this new-look group.
We think this team is going to surprise people. We see a current over/under of 40.5 wins at sportsbooks and wonder if anyone told them that Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, and Payton Pritchard are still on this roster.
Sure, we acknowledge that there are voids to fill on this team. You donâ€t lose the likes of Al Horford, Kristaps Porzingis, AND Luke Kornet and not have a frontcourt to rebuild. Weâ€ll relent that the margin for error is far slimmer, and even a minor injury could really complicate matters for the Celtics.
But we also refuse to believe this team wonâ€t be competitive on a night-to-night basis. Weâ€re certain that the players on this roster are ready for bigger roles and more opportunity. Weâ€re certain that the banners hanging above the parquet will be a constant reminder of what everyone is working to get back to. Weâ€re certain Mazzulla will have the Celtics operate with a collective chip on their shoulder.
We have the Celtics at 46-36 and fighting for a spot in the top half of the Eastern Conference playoff bracket. We suspect the Cavaliers, Knicks, Magic, and Pistons will finish ahead of Boston. But the Celtics will be in the mix with Atlanta and Milwaukee for a spot in that No. 4-No. 6 seed range.
What happens from there? We suspect it all depends on if and when Tatum is back on the court, how close he is to his old form, and if the Celtics elect to toss him into playoff basketball. But weâ€re calling it now: Boston wins a first-round series and heads into the summer of 2026 convinced that this team will be back in title contention for the 2026-27 campaign.
Again, a lot has to go right. The Celtics reallyneed some less-than-established big men to make some strides. But the Brown-White-Pritchard trio can hold the fort with help from Sam Hauser and some of the newcomers. Tatumâ€s return will ensure a brighter future regardless of how it all plays out. The absence of expectations will allow this team to play free, and there will be far more good nights than bad.
Letâ€s get the new season started.
Here are the predictions our panel made:
Darren Hartwell, Managing Editor
The Celtics go 43-39, extending their streak of non-losing seasons to 11 and barely avoiding the play-in tournament as the No. 6 seed in the East.
They match up with the No. 3 seed Magic in Round 1, and while Tatum is back in the lineup, he’s not quite up to full speed. Orlando exacts revenge for its 2025 first-round exit by dispatching the pesky Celtics in seven games.
The good news: There’s plenty of optimism heading into 2026-27, with Neemias Queta looking like a legitimate starting center and Payton Pritchard emerging as a go-to starting guard alongside Derrick White.
Michael Hurley, Web Producer
Final record: 46-36. Having a superstar player should be enough to be better than .500. Having a solid organization from the front office to the coaching staff should be worth something, too. I’d be shocked if they bottom out and end up in the lottery or something to that effect.
I think a ton of the roster will get tremendous opportunity to develop just by virtue of the minutes that are needed to be played, and I think if they end up avoiding the play-in tournament, they could beat a No. 3 seed in a first-round series.
That would be a pretty good season without their best player, even if doesn’t lead to them drafting in the top 10.
Sean McGuire, Web Producer
I’m projecting Boston finishes 48-34 on the season. They make the playoffs as the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference, upset the No. 3 seed Indiana Pacers in six games and then fall in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Too much green drink? Maybe. But I’d be more than content with it.
Josh Canu, Media Editor
Final record: 51-31. I am pretty optimistic with this team in terms of the regular season. I think the mix of experience, motivation, and the pace I expect them to play with will win them a lot of games.
Depth is still my biggest concern, but I think they have enough on most nights to be a top-four seed on the East without Tatum.
Kevin Miller, VP, Content
I’m predicting 45-37 and a second-round playoff exit, which sets the table for an aggressive offseason.
Adam Hart, EP, Content Strategy
Final record: 44-38. The Celtics make the playoffs outright; no play-in tournament. They pick 17th in the NBA Draft, which is a little low for their liking, but isn’t a competitive season more exciting anyway?
Neemias Queta will move into a legit role, which will be a nice win for Brad Stevens as Queta enters the final year of an affordable contract.
Kayla Burton, Celtics Pregame Livehost
I have the Celtics at 43-39 and finishing sixth in the East. They make the playoffs and lose in the first round to the Knicks in a rematch series. Jayson Tatum is back for that series and Neemias Queta becomes the team’s most improved player.
In sliding over 6-6¾ on her first go before the downpour began, Nicola Olyslagers earned a WC outdoor gold to hang besides her pair from indoor World Championships. (TAKASHI ITO/AGENCE SHOT)
AFTER TRIUMPHING AT the last two World Indoor Championships, and getting silver at the last two Olympic Games, Australiaâ€s Nicola Olyslagers finally acquired an outdoor global title.
Her first-time clearance at 6-6¾ (2.00) proved to be enough for gold in a competition abbreviated by a downpour of near-biblical proportions.
Six women went over 6-5½ (1.97) but the rain started to fall during the second attempts at that height. Then the heavens opened almost immediately after Olyslagers — the first jumper in the rotation for the extended 16-women field — extended her unblemished record with a clearance at 6-6¾ (2.00).
Four of the next five remaining jumped and failed in the rapidly deteriorating conditions before the officials called a halt to proceedings and a 40-minute hiatus ensued.
After the restart, nobody could clear the bar until, with the very last attempt at the height, Polandâ€s Maria Å»odzik miraculously went over to add 2cm to her PR.
A further 20-minute break ensued before the competition continued at 6-7½ (2.02) but neither Olyslagers — who only went very close with her second attempt — Å»odzik nor Ukraineâ€s â€24 Olympic champion and WR-holder Yaroslava Mahuchikh could navigate that height. Mahuchikh had passed up to the height after one failure at the previous bar.
Mahuchikh and Serbiaâ€s World U20 champion Angelina Topić, whose father and coach Dragutin was 4th at both the â€96 Olympics and â€99 WC, shared the bronze, with both women flawless up to 6-5½ (1.97).
Notably, 3 out of the 4 medalists — Å»odzik being the exception — took 6 jumps or less, a manifestation of the rain-truncated contest. The sight of Mahuchikh squeezing water out of her braids after each of her failures at 6-7½ provided additional evidence of the weatherâ€s extremity.
“It wasnâ€t a holiday out there,†understated Olyslagers. “I think this season I have had many hard competitions but the whole year has still been really great. I realized I had to stop holding onto my goals really tightly and be spontaneous, take risks, and really move by faith and not sight.â€
Olyslagers†Tokyo victory took her â€25 record to 9 wins from 12 meets including a world-leading 6-8¼ (2.04) to win the DL Final in Zürich. Among these victories, one was a tie for the top spot — at the Lausanne DL, another rain-soaked affair.
Sadly, there were no U.S. representatives in the final. Vashti Cunningham (the bronze medalist in â€19), Emma Gates and Sanaa Barnes were eliminated in the Q round.
