Karrion Kross has reverted to his previous moniker, Killer Kross, after his WWE exit this summer.

Kross has been taking independent bookings lately, with his frame of mind evidently being to play the field. He has openly admitted his interest in making a WWE return. However, the former NXT Champion also did not shy away from discussing the lack of interest higher-ups had in his growing fanbase and the connection with fans he was able to cultivate in 2025.

On X/Twitter, a clip of Killer Kross throwing a female star literally through the ceiling has gone viral. It was during a fight produced by XICW Detroit (Xtreme Intense Championship Wrestling).

In the clip, Kross was hit on the back by the female star with a steel chair. He no-sold the move, before knocking down the chair with his head, and lifting the woman in the air with her head going through the ceiling.

Killer Kross’ wife, Scarlett Bordeaux, also reacted to the clip and stayed in character to note that their antagonists deserved what was coming to them.

If you watch the entire match, itâ€s pretty clear she and her whole crew deserved to be launched through that ceiling,” Bordeaux wrote.

The Harbinger of Doom had revealed after parting ways with WWE that he was offered a contract before his exit, but it was not satisfactory. In the end, he left the door open for a future return.

Killer Kross And Scarlett Bordeaux Clearly Articulate Their Frame Of Mind Regarding WWE Return And A Potential AEW Debut

In an interview with Chris Van Vliet on Insight recently, Killer Kross noted how “bizarre” his whole conversation was with regard to going back.

Scarlett Bordeaux claimed that if the power couple were to make an AEW debut, they were going to fly its flag. She also stated that whichever wrestling promotion they ultimately join, it would be their “home.”

I mean, Iâ€ll speak for myself. You could answer this separately, if you like. I donâ€t know. I donâ€t know what that door looks like, or whatâ€s even on the other side of it. Iâ€m still completely perturbed by the conversation that we had, it was so bizarre and strange and shocking,” Karrion Kross said.

Scarlett Bordeaux added, “If we ever go to AEW, weâ€re going to be flying the AEW flag. That is going to be our home forever. Whatever our next company is, thatâ€s it.”

Heading into the summer of 2025, Karrion Kross had a noteworthy feud with Sami Zayn, which ended up getting booked on WWE’s premium live events twice. Following their SummerSlam encounter, Kross was released out of nowhere.

Wednesday night’s episode of AEW Dynamite averaged 534,000 viewers on TBS, up 66.4% from last week’s Tuesday night airing and up 14.8% from the last Wednesday airing two weeks ago. AEW Collision, which immediately followed Dynamite, averaged 400,000 viewers. That’s down 25.2% from the last time it aired after Dynamite, although those numbers were calculated using Nielsen’s former ratings calculation method.

Dynamite averaged a 0.11 rating in the 18-49 demo. That’s up 57.1% from last Tuesday and up 22.2% from the previous Wednesday airing. Collision averaged the same rating, which was down 8.3% from the last time it followed Dynamite.

The audience retention for Collision was 74.9% in total viewers as opposed to 80.9% the last time they did a 3 hour Wednesday block although the 18-49 retention was 100% as compared to 85.7% previously.

As compared to the same week in 2024, under the old ratings method, Dynamite’s total viewership was down 15.6% while the 18-49 rating was down 45%. Collision aired on it’s regular night and time last year so year over year comparisons aren’t relevant. This year’s numbers do not include viewership on HBO Max.

Listed below are the last 11 weeks of overall viewership and 18-49 demo ratings for AEW Dynamite on TBS and AEW Collision as well as the 10 week average in both categories for both shows. This week’s Dynamite was down 6.3% in total viewers and 15.4% in 18-49 as compared to recent averages while Collision was up 44.1% in total viewers and 83.3% in 18-49, which shows the benefit of following Dynamite on Wednesdays.

Angel Reese and Suni Lee made history on Wednesday.

The WNBA star and United States gymnastics star walked the stage at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in New York, becoming the first athletes to ever participate in the event.

Reese walked down the stage while Madison Beer, the girlfriend of Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, performed. Lee came out a few moments later.

Reese announced last week that she had been selected to participate in the event.

Reese attended the event last year and knew it was something she wanted to do at some point in her career.

“I literally could not stop smiling!” the two-time All-Star told People‘s Catherine Santino and Hedy Phillips. “It’s such a surreal and full-circle moment — just last year I was in the audience manifesting being on that runway, completely inspired and in awe of all the powerful women walking down the runway, and now I get to return as an Angel. This will be an unforgettable night that I’ll forever be grateful for.”

Reese is obviously most known for her WNBA career, but she’s emerged as a fashion icon as well, showing off her outfits in the tunnel before games.

Both Reese and Lee have made history in their respective sports, and now they’ve made history on the runway as well.

It didn’t take long for Andrade to land on his feet after being fired from WWE, as he made a surprise return on the “AEW Dynamite: 6th Anniversary” show, attacking Kenny Omega and joining the Don Callis Family. Just days later, he added some gold around his waist, journeying to Tijuana, Baja California to defeat DMT Azul for The Crash Heavyweight Championship. But since then, Andrade has been nowhere to be seen on AEW TV, and a potential match between him and Omega at WrestleDream will not happen, as Andrade is set to compete in Puerto Rico the same day.

It’s not the only potential match of Andrade’s that has been removed from the calendar. Taking to X on Monday afternoon, user foos revealed that a scheduled match between Andrade and LA Park, set to take place on October 26 for promotion Mucha Luchas Atlanta, would no longer be taken place. According to foos, no reason was given for why the match wouldn’t be happening. It will be replaced by Mascarita Sagrada vs. Demus.

Andrade will no longer be appearing on this show. No reason given, will be replaced by Mascarita Sagrada vs Demus

Andrade vs. Park, who many fans may remember as the original La Parka that wrestled in WCW back in the 1990s or for getting fired from MLW in 2022, would’ve been the first time these two lucha libre stars had ever faced off one on one. However, Park, who has been a long-time rival of Andrade’s AEW co-worker, long-time friend, and former LFI stablemate Rush for the last decade, is known for being on bad terms with CMLL, AEW’s promotional partner, ever since he last wrestled there in 2019. It remains unclear if that is related to why the Andrade-Park match was called off.

This will be the first NJPW Strong event since this past May, when Resurgence took place at the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California. The company has only ran three events in the United States this year compared to six in 2024 and eight in 2023.

Key matches from Resurgence had AZM defeating Mercedes Mone and Mina Shirakawa to win the Strong Womenâ€s Championship, Hirooki Goto and Zack Sabre Jr. going to a time limit draw for the IWGP World Championship, and Konosuke Takeshita defeating ELP to retain the NEVER title.

New Japan Strongâ€s titles have been defended in other promotions throughout the year. United Empire (TJP and Templario) recently defended the titles in CMLL. Saya Kamitani is the current Strong Womenâ€s Champion, while Tomohiro Ishii remains the Strong Openweight Champion.

India’s Yashasvi Jaiswal (AP Photo/Manish Swarup) Yashasvi Jaiswalâ€s love for big scores continued at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, where the 23-year-old was cruising towards yet another double century in the second Test against the West Indies. But a misunderstanding with captain Shubman Gill cut short what looked like another marathon innings. Jaiswal fell for a brilliant 175 off 258 deliveries, decorated with 22 fours, walking back visibly disappointed after coming so close to a landmark once again. After stumps on Day 2, Jaiswal spoke to the host broadcaster, where an unexpected but heartwarming moment unfolded. Harsha Bhogle began by praising the youngster, saying, “Well done. We absolutely loved watching you bat. Donâ€t worry about how it ended.â€

IND vs WI 1st Test: Why West Indies’ decision to bat first vs India backfired?

Thatâ€s when Sunil Gavaskar, who was also part of the panel, jumped in with a light-hearted message that left Jaiswal smiling awkwardly. The legendary former India captain said, “Just to add to that — great job, keep it up. Keep scoring those hundreds, those daddy hundreds. But since Iâ€m a grandfather now, Iâ€ll say, keep making granddaddy hundreds.†Jaiswal, caught by surprise, could only manage a quick “Thank you, sir,†as the studio burst into laughter. This knock of 175 marked the fifth time in Jaiswalâ€s young Test career that he has crossed the 150-run mark. He now shares the record for most hundreds before turning 24 with South Africaâ€s Graeme Smith. Had he converted this innings into a double hundred, it would have been his third in Tests — the previous two coming against England during the 2024 home series. Even without reaching 200 this time, Jaiswalâ€s consistency and appetite for monumental scores continue to underline why heâ€s seen as one of Indiaâ€s brightest long-format stars.

EDMONTON — A year ago, the Edmonton Oilers were still mired in a Stanley Cup lost.

As weâ€ve heard this fall, from everyone from Zach Hyman to Connor McDavid, recovering from a series in which you clawed back to Game 7, then lost by a single goal, is somehow different than getting back to a second Cup Final and losing to a better team.

It may sound weird, but itâ€s true.

And the evidence was on display Saturday, as the Oilers beat the Vancouver Canucks for 50 of the 60 minutes played, winning 3-1 in a game where they allowed just 15 Canucks shots on goalie Calvin Pickard.

“It could have been six or seven to one,†Pickard said. “Their goalie was great.â€

This was a calibre of game, particularly on the defensive side, that we did not see from Edmonton until Game 15 a year ago. After owning the opening 30 minutes against Calgary on opening night, then letting down in the final 30, this was a pedigree of hockey that a team like the Oilers should be able to produce on demand.

Itâ€s amazing what you can accomplish, when your headâ€s in the present — and not back in Sunrise, trying to win a long-lost game from a spring youâ€ll never get back.

“Weâ€ve moved on from the previous season and playoffs, whatever happened,†said head coach Kris Knoblauch. “Obviously there’s still disappointment, but guys had done it once before. (There is) no more feeling sorry for ourselves. Let’s get to work. The attitude right from Day 1 has been upbeat, energetic.â€

The game the Oilers rolled out on a Saturday night against a division rival would beat most teams in most rinks on most nights.

Edmonton gave the Canucks just two power plays and earned five of its own. Without Thatcher Demkoâ€s heroics this would have been a runaway, but instead of pining over a power play that did everything but score, the depth guys went and scored a couple at even strength — before McDavid and Leon Draisaitl collected their only points on the night from Draisaitlâ€s empty-netter that made it 3-1.

“We were the better team,†declared Draisaitl, who has started his season with a goal in both games. “We played really well. We had our legs. All four lines were going and there were different guys chipping in.

“Weâ€re going to be a hard team to beat when we consistently find a way to play like that.â€

Itâ€s a long season, to be sure, and the Oilers head out on a five-game Eastern swing on Monday, playing just one of their next eight games on home ice. But as immature as they looked when they put their collective feet up against Calgary, squandering a 3-0 lead to lose in a shootout, weâ€ve seen this team enough to know how it usually turns out.

And if theyâ€ve reached that level in Game 2, winning the Pacific Division becomes more than just a possibility.

“Weâ€ve got to help ourselves out a little bit more compared to the last two years,†said Draisaitl, whose Oilers have chased the Pacific leader all season long in each of their Stanley Cup finalist seasons. “You can build a lot of momentum, a lot of confidence within your group if you get off to a good start. You see it with a lot of teams, they get off to a really good start, then they just kind of carry it the rest of the way. Theyâ€re a playoff team.â€

In hindsight, winning a game like that — contested to the end when Vancouver pulled its goalie while on a power play — is more valuable than if the power play would have scored two, and there was nothing to sweat over.

This one ended with McDavid and Draisaitl as the two penalty-killing forwards. McDavid deftly got his stick on a Brock Boeser chance that would have tied the game, then he grabbed a loose puck with six Canucks in the zone and still 80 seconds on the clock.

Instead of chopping the puck out of the zone and allowing Vancouver — and the magnificent Quinn Hughes — to reload, McDavid spun, moved the puck over to Darnell Nurse, who found Draisaitl.

It was a snapshot on why Knoblauch has decided this season to ice his two superstars on the PK, and example of how high-level hockey IQ can make the difference between a regulation win and possible overtime.

“Good penalty killers are the ones who can make plays under pressure,†Knoblauch said. “You saw it with Connor, being able to slow things down rather than just shoveling a puck out. He’s able to settle things down and make a heck of a play.â€

In the end, 3-1 feels a lot better than 6-1 would have, when you earn a game on Noah Philpâ€s first NHL goal and an Andrew Mangiapane tuck in the 500th game of his NHL career.

“Pucks werenâ€t going in for us. Demko was great, he made a lot of big saves,†Pickard said. “But we didnâ€t stray from the game plan, we didnâ€t cheat for offence. We earned that win.

“If we play that game over and over again, weâ€re going to win pretty much every time.â€

Triple H was greeted with an interesting chant from fans attending the WWE Crown Jewel post-show in Perth on Saturday.

The live crowd standing behind hosts Big E, Peter Rosenberg, and Jackie Redmond chanted “We want Edge†at Triple H, referencing AEWâ€s Adam Copeland. They even sang Copelandâ€s theme music. As Triple Hâ€s appearance on the panel continued, fans also chanted for Batista, MJF, and called for WrestleMania to be brought to Australia.

Cena and Adam Copeland have paid tribute to each other in recent matches, with Cena using Copeland’s spear in a match against Sami Zayn on SmackDown, and Copeland paying tribute to Cena at AEW All Out.

Triple H on AJ Styles vs. John Cena at WWE Crown Jewel

Triple H was asked about Cena vs. Styles at Crown Jewel and responded that he saw the match as “a love letter to professional wrestling.”

“It was incredible. You hear this sometimes said in this business, it was a love letter to professional wrestling and I really believe that. Two of the most decorated performers, two of the greatest performers of a generation, both kind of coming to the end now.”

“For both of them to go out there, perform at this level, do what they did, and put on just a massive tribute to what we all love to do, get to do, or get to watch, it was just incredible.”

Jackie Redmond added that the match turned many people backstage “into little kids” watching it.

Triple H was asked about the amount of yellow John Cena t-shirts in the crowd for the show, with Rosenberg mentioning it looked like they handed the shirts out to the crowd.

“It was incredible. The amount of shirts was unbelievable,” Triple H said. “But that’s a testament to John Cena and who he is as a performer.”

Triple H on Bronson Reed’s win over Roman Reigns

Big E asked Triple H about Bronson Reed’s win over Roman Reigns in the opening match at Crown Jewel.

“For Bronson, this solidifies where he is. He’s in a top spot right now.”

Triple H continued, “He should be exactly where he is. He should be at the top of the food chain. I think the whole world saw a new monster created tonight.”

Triple H also discussed Rhea Ripley, Stephanie Vaquer, Tiffany Stratton and more. His full appearance on the WWE Crown Jewel post-show is available below:
