Nikki Bella says someone definitely took something out of context.

The latest episode of the Nikki & Brie Showsaw Nikki address a rumor that she was hooking up with her fans. Brie was talking about how the holiday season brings feelings of wanting to be “coupled up†and asked if it made Nikki wish she were dating someone.

Nikki then brought up a remark someone made on one of her social media posts, explaining that the poster implied she was having sex with her fans.

“I mean, yeah, I guess [I wish I was dating], kinda,†Nikki said. “By the way, someone put a comment under one of my posts, my Bella Army appreciation post. They go, ‘I wonder how many fans she banged this weekend.†And someone goes, ‘Excuse me?†and [the original poster] goes, ‘Well, didnâ€t you hear the one episode of what she hopes for?â€â€

Nikki says she had to jump in and set the record straight, informing the poster that they definitely took things out of context.

“I had to chime in. I go, ‘You definitely misunderstood that episode of The Nikki & Brie Show.†Because remember I said—we both said—like I want [a real relationship], I have to be in something with someone, not randoms.â€

Brie said that people will “take things how they want to take them,†and Nikki said she couldnâ€t believe someone said that, but also clarified that she still has not gotten involved with a fan.

Nikki Bella recently challenged Stephanie Vaquer for the WWE Womenâ€s Championship at Survivor Series. Nikki lost the match, and later highlighted the tough spot she and Vaquer were in at the Premium Live Event.

Gunther has responded with a brief but powerful statement following a wave of backstage opposition to his potential final match against John Cena.

The Ring General’s path to facing the 17-time World Champion appeared clear after dominating Solo Sikoa in the Last Time Is Now Tournament semifinals on WWE Raw, but internal reports have suggested that some high-ranking members within WWE hold different plans for this marquee retirement match.

The Ring General Gunther Sends a Message to the WWE Universe Before Facing John Cena

Following his victory over Solo Sikoa, Gunther took to Instagram to post a three-word message that underscores his unwavering confidence heading into his tournament final against LA Knight:

Next Stage Ahead.”

The statement arrived at a moment when multiple wrestling insiders have reported that certain prominent figures within WWE are uncomfortable with Gunther representing the company’s final confrontation in Cena’s decorated career.

The backstage sentiment has created tension surrounding what promises to be one of the most significant matches in professional wrestling history. According to reports from WrestleVotes, some within the organization ‘don’t love’ the idea of the Ring General serving as Cena’s final opponent.

Adding further weight to the criticism, John Cena Sr. appeared on the All Axxess Podcast and publicly stated that Gunther ‘does not need the rub,’ arguing the matchup would not represent a wise career conclusion for his legendary son. The WWE Hall of Famer’s father went further to express his belief that the fans would not embrace this final bout, citing his preference for other opponents such as Kurt Angle or Adam Copeland.

Despite the vocal opposition from industry figures and family members, Gunther remains focused on the immediate challenge ahead. He will square off against LA Knight in the tournament final on SmackDown this Friday, December 5, in Austin, Texas, with the winner earning a date with John Cena at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13 at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.

How much assistance did TNA Wrestling get from WWE when it comes to their new media rights deal with AMC?

On Tuesday morning, TNA Wrestling fans got the news theyâ€ve been waiting for: the company has signed a new media rights deal to begin airing iMPACT on the AMC network in 2026. News began to trickle out following the announcement that WWE had a hand in helping TNA secure its new deal with AMC, but is there any truth to that?

TNA President Carlos Silva recently sat down with Jon Alba of Sports Illustrated. When asked how much involvement WWE had in helping TNA procure their new media rights deal with AMC, Silva said WWE wasnâ€t involved in the negotiations with AMC whatsoever.

“No, we did all the negotiations ourselves with me leading the charge on the TNA side, and then [Creative Artists Agency] leading the charge as our representative and our partner on the deal,†Silva said. “Look, WWE and NXT are very important partners to us. So we kept them in the loop.

“They knew what was coming. They knew about the deal before you knew about the deal. But no, theyâ€ve got their own deals. Theyâ€re very busy with their deals. So they let us go out and cut a deal and get on a major network. And I think theyâ€re happy for us. And we were happy with the way it went.â€

Will TNA iMPACT be live more often in 2026?

Hot off the heels of the new TV deal, TNA President Carlos Silva sat down with WrestleZone Managing Editor Carlos Silva this afternoon to discuss a wide variety of subjects.

Among the topics discussed, the possibility of iMPACT being live more often in 2026 than it has been in the past. You can check out Silvaâ€s comments on the matter by clicking here.

South Africa registered the sixth-highest successful run chase in ODI cricket history, and the third-highest of their own, to level the three-match IND vs SA ODI series 1-1 in Raipur with a game to go.

This marked a second consecutive high-scoring match in this series. Three days ago, Corbin Bosch failed to seal the chase of 350 in Ranchi, being the last man to get out in the last over as the Proteas lost by 17 runs.

However, on Wednesday, on a batting beauty in Raipur, aided by plenty of dew, Bosch hit the winning runs, also in the last over of the chase as South Africa romped home by four wickets.

While Indiaâ€s innings was headlined by clinical centuries from Virat Kohli and Ruturaj Gaikwad and a powerful half-century from KL Rahul, it also included scratchy knocks from Yashasvi Jaiswal (22 off 38) and Ravindra Jadeja (24* off 27) that would now come under the scanner.

The Proteas†chase was spearheaded by Aiden Markramâ€s hundred. After Markram fell at the 30-over mark, the Proteas surged through sparkling half-centuries from Matthew Breetzke (68 off 64) and Dewald Brevis (54 off 34). The two young right-handers put up a thunderous partnership of 92 (64) that brought the required rate to around six runs an over.

Bosch had his redemption with a cameo of 29* off 15, as the series is now set up for a blockbuster decider on Saturday.

IND vs SA: When and where is the India vs South Africa 3rd ODI?

The series-deciding 3rd ODI between India and South Africa will be played on Saturday in Visakhapatnam.

Meanwhile, the Indian fans came up with appreciation tweets for the South African batsmen while also trolling their own team for failing to defend 358.

Wonderful chase from SA. But fielding was not good today by India

No use watching Indian Cricket till the time Gambhir is the coach. This team canâ€t defend 350. Twice in England. Nearly Twice now.

You tend to lose interest in games where you know that toss becomes determining factor. Having said that 20 runs were short due to deliveries wasted by Washington Sundar.#INDvSA

A recent claim by WWE legend Ric Flair has been vehemently opposed by Hulk Hogan’s widow, Sky Daily.

The Nature Boy had previously talked about Hogan’s final days, mentioning in an appearance on DOUBL3 COVERAGE that he had talked to the legend the day before he passed away. Furthermore, he also mentioned that doctors had stopped prescribing pain medication to the Hulkster, which had forced the latter to seek alternate methods to get relief. This, according to Sky Daily, is factually incorrect.

Speaking to TMZ, Daily explained that Flair had not talked to Hogan just before the latter’s passing. Furthermore, she clarified that the Nature Boy was mistaken about Hogan’s use of “street drugs,” stating that her husband at the time was under supervision at the Morton Plant Hospital in Florida. She also mentioned that there was a change in Hulk Hogan‘s medication, but that was after his neck procedure to make sure that his previous prescriptions did not impact his lungs.

TMZapparently also talked to two other family members, who also did not agree with Ric Flair’s claims.

Hulk Hogan’s Family Members Are Apparently Not Angry at The WWE Legend Ric Flair

Despite the comments by Flair, it appears that Hogan’s family members and Sky Daily do not hold a grudge against him.

The report by TMZ makes it clear that Ric Flair’s claims regarding Hulk Hogan’s medication were likely a case of misunderstanding, according to the family members they spoke to. Considering how everyone is aware of how close Ric Flair and Hogan were, there is no evidence of anyone thinking that Flair was intentionally trying to slander the WWE legend’s reputation.

Hogan passed away in July this year, with the official cause of death being a heart attack.

AJ Lee reacts to her Survivor Series win.

On social media, Lee posted a picture of her team standing tall following their victory on Saturday. Leeâ€s message was short, but to the point, comparing them to a famous superhero alliance.

“Tell your kids these were the avengers,†she wrote.

Lee teamed with Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Rhea Ripley, and IYO SKY to defeat Lash Legend, Nia Jax, Becky Lynch, and the Kabuki Warriors at Survivor Series. Lee scored the victory for her team, submitting Lynch with the Black Widow octopus hold.

The two have been feuding since Lee made her return to WWE earlier this year, teaming with husband CM Punk to defeat Seth Rollins and Lynch in a mixed tag team match at the Wrestlepalooza PLE. Earlier this month on Raw, Lee made her return and distracted Lynch, causing her to lose the Womenâ€s Intercontinental Championship to Maxxine Dupri. Soon after, Lee joined the Women’s Survior Series WarGames team while Lynch retaliated by blindsiding Lee and aligning with Asuka’s team.

In the main event of Survivor Series, The Vision, Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre, and Brock Lesnar defeated Punk, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and The Usos in the menâ€s WarGames match, with Bron Breakker pinning CM Punk after a spear. The show ended with Cody having strong words for Reigns, teasing a future match between the two.

WWE

At WWE Survivor Series: WarGames, Liv Morgan defied physical expectations when she returned weeks ahead of schedule to help her on-screen boyfriend Dominik Mysterio beat John Cena and regain the WWE Intercontinental Championship. According to long-time rival Rhea Ripley, the same cannot be said about the expectations for Morgan’s personality.

“It was wild,” Ripley told ESPN’s “SportsCenter” when reflecting on the events of Cena vs. Mysterio. “I don’t even know how to describe the emotions that I was feeling because I was kind of just watching it in awe and kind of like a fan. I was like, ‘Is this real? Is this actually happening? What is happening?’ Then Liv obviously slapped Dom. I was like maybe she’s seen everything that he’s been doing with Roxanne [Perez] and The Judgment Day, but then once she changed her face expression, I knew it was over for John Cena in that point in time because I know how tactical Liv and Dom can be and how slimy they are.

“I knew right then and there that they had that in the bag,” Ripley continued. “You just got to throw your hands up in the air and go, ‘Oh well.’ I guess John Cena didn’t see that coming.”

Originally, WWE officials projected Morgan’s on-screen return to come in early 2026 after she sustained a shoulder injury in June. Upon her mid-match arrival at Survivor Series, it became clear that she had beaten those predictions. What initially wasn’t clear was Morgan’s present-day allegiance.

To the surprise of many, Morgan slapped Mysterio, then jumped into Cena’s arms with a wide smile on her face. That expression proved to be a trick, however, as it shifted to a more sadistic one before Morgan delivered a low blow and a title belt shot to Cena. Mysterio followed with a 619 and a Frog Splash to officially dethrone the in-ring veteran.

Sami Zayn has finally broken the silence on being left out of the Survivor Series: WarGames match.

The Saturday, November 29 premium live event features a star-studded lineup, with the main attraction being John Cena’s final appearance as an active wrestler. The Greatest of All Time will defend his recently won Intercontinental Championship against the former champion, ‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio.

The men’s double-ring steel cage match includes the ten biggest stars of the roster, including Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, and Jimmy Uso, taking on Brock Lesnar, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed. However, there is one star who isn’t happy after being left out of the WarGames match.

The former Bloodline member Zayn posted a tweet on X, reposting one from last year’s WarGames. In that tweet, he posted images from 2022, 2023, and 2024 Survivor Series: WarGames, where he played a crucial role each time. In his latest tweet, Zayn wrote,

Feels weird to not be in the cage for War Games this year but full support for my Samoan brothers.”

Feels weird to not be in the cage for War Games this year but full support for my Samoan brothers. https://t.co/kSDoqihRus

— Sami Zayn (@SamiZayn) November 29, 2025

In 2022, he teamed up with the Bloodline, Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, and the Usos, against the Brawling Brutes, Sheamus, Ridge Holland, Butch, Drew McIntyre, and Kevin Owens, and emerged victorious in the match. In 2023, he teamed up with Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, and Jey Uso against the Judgment Day, Finn Balor, ‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio, Damian Priest, JD McDonagh, and Drew McIntyre, to again secure the win. It was the same night CM Punk returned to the company during their celebrations after being away for nearly nine years.

Last year, Zayn teamed up with the OG Bloodline, Roman Reigns, the Usos, and CM Punk to face the Bloodline, Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Bronson Reed. Even in that match, Reigns secured the pin on Sikoa, winning the match for Paul Heyman’s team.

Sami Zayn’s Survivor Series Match This Year

Even though Zayn is not in the WarGames match, he was a part of the Survivor Series match. He teamed up with Rey Fenix, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Motor City Machine Guns to take on the MFTs, Sikoa, Tonga, Loa, JC Mateo, and Talla Tonga. The Canadian was against the dominance and reckless actions of the MFTs on the blue brand, and to shut them down, he asked for a face-off, and GM Nick Aldis made it official for the November 28 episode of Friday Night SmackDown.

However, things didn’t exactly go his way. His team was dominated for most of the time, and at the end, it was him three-on-one against Sikoa and his MFTs. With his victory, Sikoa and his family tree cemented themselves as the most dangerous and biggest stars on the blue brand.

What does Logan Paul have to say to his WarGames teammates after leaving him alone during the chaotic post-match brawl on WWE RAW?

This weekâ€s episode of WWE RAW ended in complete chaos following Logan Paulâ€s tag team match with Drew McIntyre against The Usos. Paul scored the winning pin over Jimmy Uso after interference and brawls involving Cody Rhodes and CM Punk helped The Vision secure the WarGames advantage.

But the brawling didnâ€t stop when the bell rang. A massive fight broke out between both teams, and they kept brawling as RAW went off the air. However, what happened after the show is what really caught fans†attention.

WWE uploaded off-air footage showing Brock Lesnar and the heel WarGames team, Breakker, Reed, McIntyre and Paul, standing together on the entrance ramp. Lesnar appeared to hype them up to rush the ring, which excited Logan Paul.

But as soon as Paul sprinted toward the ring, Lesnar stopped with the rest of the team back, leaving Paul alone. Inside the ring, Paul was destroyed. Taking double superkicks from The Usos, a GTS from CM Punk, a Cross Rhodes from Cody Rhodes and a Spear from Roman Reigns.

To finish the humiliation, the CM Punkâ€s team also poured his own Prime drink over him. Now, Logan Paul has responded to his team abandoning him. Speaking on his YouTube vlog, Paul addressed the incident.

He said, “All right, look. The end of the night was rough, but low-key; it doesnâ€t matter. It was all fair, and we won the match, excuse me, I won the match. I pinned Jimmy Uso, which means my team has the advantage at WarGames this Saturday. Youâ€re welcome, guys.

“I will forgive you all of you for ditching me while I went into the ring like a lone soldier, like a lone f**ing wolf. And if I have to do that at WarGames, I will, â€cause Iâ€m a maniac. WarGames will be crazy. Iâ€m pissed off, Iâ€m going in with vengeance. Iâ€m f**ing everyone up this Saturday. Letâ€s go.â€
