A WWE superstar recently reacted to CM Punk’s hilarious post wishing another star on her birthday. His message only contained a single word, which told the whole story quite succinctly.

The Second City Saint took to Instagram to wish Lyra Valkyria on her birthday, which was on 23rd October. Punk has often talked about how he was a fan of the rising star, and he mentioned it again in the caption. The post included one of his own rather crude drawings of Valkyria, which was obviously the intent. Lyra also took the joke in jest, stating that she had never looked better.

@wwe Heard it was your birthday, @real_valkyria so I drew you…I hope you like it! I will always be a @real_valkyria fan!!! 💪ðŸ½ðŸ‘🼔

Dexter Lumis also commented on CM Punk’s post

As expected, Dexter Lumis was not one to be left behind when it came to getting into the joke.

The Wyatt Sicks member also commented on CM Punk’s post, claiming that it was an amazing iteration of Lyra Valkyria. Dexter is also quite talented in creating his own art pieces, which made his comment sound sarcastic and funny.

Dexter is currently one-half of the WWE Tag Team Champions alongside Joe Gacy. The duo took on the Street Profits on the July 11 episode of SmackDown, in what turned out to be an intense match. After a lot of back and forth, the Wyatt Sicks members were able to pick up the win. They later defended their titles on Night 2 of SummerSlam, where they successfully retained after battling the Street Profits, DIY, Fraxiom, the Motor City Machine Guns, and Andrade & Rey Fénix in a TLC match.

As of now, it remains to be seen what is next for Lumis in WWE and whether he will come face-to-face with CM Punk in the ring someday.

Alexa Bliss calls late WWE star Bray Wyatt a creative genius.

In an interview with In The Kliq, Alexa Bliss recalled how Wyatt pushed her to deeply understand her character. He encouraged her to study documentaries, horror movies, and other materials to help her fully dive into the world of her on-screen persona.

“I remember when I first started working with him. He gave me this whole – because he does deep dives on his characters, deep, deep dives, all this research he was like, ‘Watch these documentaries, watch these scary movies, watch this, take notes on this.†And it really made me appreciate the fact that it wasnâ€t just doing research on your character.â€

“He created a whole world for his character. And that was something that I took with me, you have to know your character inside and out, you have to know where they grew up, you have to know the world that they live in, you have to know what is reality to them and not just what we see in front of us.â€

Alexa Bliss Says Bray Wyatt was a creative genius

Alexa Bliss said working with Bray Wyatt completely changed how she viewed character work in WWE. “That was something that really opened my eyes character-wise he was a creative genius, and he saw the world of WWE in a different way than anybody else ever has. And he created this whole alternate universe within the WWE universe. And that was something that I found so fascinating, his creativity, and any time that he wants to talk about creative, it was like you had to keep up, because his mind was just going.â€

“It was so cool to not only witness but be a part of. And the fact that weâ€re continuing his story with the Wyatt Sicks and we have the Horrors of the Wyatt Sicks House at the Universals, I think itâ€s so cool. “I just love that the WWE as a whole is keeping his vision alive and keeping him alive. I think that he would be super happy with everything that weâ€re doing to keep it going.†[H/T: Wrestletalk]

Solo Sikoa stepped into the ring on the October 10 edition of WWE SmackDown to face an unexpected challenger.

After The Wyatt Sicks retained their WWE Tag Team Championship against The Street Profits, Nikki Cross marched down the ramp alone. She confronted Solo Sikoa in Perth, standing toe-to-toe with the Samoan powerhouse as MFT members looked on from ringside. The silence was thick until Sikoa slipped away, leaving fans buzzing over what this cryptic stare-down could mean for Crown Jewel 2025.

Throughout 2025, Sikoa has rebuilt the Bloodlineâ€s reputation on SmackDown. He added JC Mateo, Talla Tonga, and Tonga Loa to create his own formidable faction. The sudden appearance of Cross, acting on behalf of the absent Uncle Howdy, signaled a new chapter in Sikoa’s ongoing war with Wyatt Sicks.

The most intriguing twist comes from whispers that Sikoa may turn to a familiar face for reinforcements. Tamina Snuka, daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy ‘Superfly’ Snuka, has not wrestled on television since January 2023 but remains under contract with WWE despite her long absence. Fans recall her powerful runs with Natalya as Womenâ€s Tag Team Champion and her early days leading The Usos. Bringing back Tamina would not only shore up Sikoa’s forces but also reunite two generations of wrestling heritage inside the squared circle.

Solo Sikoa Might Recruit Tamina Snuka in MFT

Tamina Snukaâ€s name carries weight. She debuted in 2010 alongside The Usos and has held the Womenâ€s Tag Team Championship once. Though she hasnâ€t been on an active roster since mid-2024, reports confirm she is still signed to WWE and simply hasnâ€t been booked on recent shows.

A surprise Tamina return at SmackDown would deepen the Bloodline narrative, offering Sikoa a veteran ally against The Wyatt Sicks. Her explosive style and family legacy could tilt the balance in MFTâ€s favor as they look to finally topple their eerie rivals.​

Fans will be watching the upcoming SmackDown episodes closely. If Sikoa does reach out to Tamina, it could mark one of the most memorable reunions in recent WWE memory and set the stage for a blockbuster tag match at Crown Jewel.

-They opened with a video showing a “hand off” the (meaningless, barely ever mentioned) Crown Jewel Title belts from Saudio Arabia to Australia 7,065 miles.

(Keller’s Analysis: This had the vibe of a bad WWE Films-produced action-adventure or thrilled movie. I mean, it’d be cool if this was done for a meaningful title belt the fans had a reason to care about and was part of the narrative year round.)

-They cut to the arena where Cole touted all the bedazzling of the Crown Jewel Title belts which was shown at ringside.

-Cody Rhodes made his ring entrance wearing a blue suit with a red tie. He carried his WWE Title belt to the ring with him.

Wayne and Wyatt Rhodes may have experience competing in AEW and Ring of Honor, but the duo are already eyeing up potential dream matches in WWE. Speaking to MuscleManMalcolm, the pair were asked who they would like to wrestle in WWE.

Wayne is eager to step in the ring with the Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) and added that the Rhodes met the guns recently. He added that DIY is another team he and Wyatt would love to work with. Wyatt went on to say that he’s hoping for a full-time reunion for The Usos. Though Jimmy and Jey are one of WWE’s most dominant teams of all time, Wyatt was confident, saying he and Wayne would “kick their ass!â€

Wayne and Wyatt are the nephews of Cody and Dustin Rhodes. Together, they have competed as ‘The New Texas Outlaws,’ an homage to the tag team of Dick Murdoch and their grandfather, Dusty Rhodes. The pair defeated Aaron Solo and Jon Cruz during their AEW debut in August 2024, and defeated Solo and Cruz again in Ring of Honor in February 2025.

Wayne and Wyatt were backstage at WWE SmackDown in January 2025, giving the pair a taste of what they can expect if they become Superstars. On social media, Cody was proud of his nephews’ development so far, calling the duo “future tag champs.”

Whether Cody’s prediction comes true, time will tell. Nevertheless, Wayne and Wyatt Rhodes are determined to face the very best teams that WWE has to offer.

Bray Wyatt (Windham Rotunda) was one of the most beloved pro wrestlers. The wrestling world lost Wyatt back in 2023. Recently, WWE and Universal partnered to create something to pay homage to the late professional wrestler. Universal Studios made a Wyatt-themed exhibit for its Halloween Horror Nights events in Florida and California.

WWE and NXT Ring Announcer, Mike Rome recently attended the Hollywood red carpet event and shared his thoughts on it. While speaking to Bionic Buzz, Mike Rome shared that it was a surreal moment to see one of the biggest ideas of Bray Wyatt become something bigger than a segment on TV. Rome also shared that if Wyatt had seen this house, he would have been in tears.

“I worked for Universal for a long time, and now obviously WWE, having those two worlds collide is so surreal. Knowing Windham and knowing how much he loved the events, and seeing something he created in his head obviously go on a large scale with TV but being made into a house now, dude, he would lose his mind. He would lose his mind.

“He would be so excited about it. I wish he was here to see it. I saw the one in Orlando, itâ€s beautiful. Itâ€s got the Wyatt Sicks debut, each character has its own area, and at the end itâ€s a beautiful tribute to him. A beautiful tribute to him. I even think, heâ€s not really, heâ€s an emotional dude, but I think he would cry in it. I almost cried in it,†Mike Rome said. [H/T Fightful.com]

Special effects makeup artist Jason Baker spoke with WrestleZone about his work in WWE. Baker has created masks for several WWE Superstars, including Bray Wyatt. He shared how involved he is with Bo and the Wyatt Sicks on WWE TV, highlighting how working with Bo also contrasts with Windhamâ€s approach to storylines.

Matt Hardy is one of the most creative wrestlers when it comes to characters in modern day wrestling history, with his “Broken” Matt Hardy gimmick getting over in TNA. The character feuded with his brother in the infamous “Final Deletion” match which inspired many other cinematic matches, including “Woken” Matt Hardy’s “Ultimate Deletion” match against Bray Wyatt in WWE. Vince McMahon was notoriously never a fan of Hardy’s “Broken” character, and Hardy explained a spot on “The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy“ that he didn’t get to do with Wyatt during their match when McMahon nixed it right before filming.

“I was going to come out of [a] tree and do a leg drop,” Hardy explained. “I was going to put Bray on the bottom table, there was going to be a table on top… I was going to do the table sandwich like Jeff did to me at WrestleMania 25 and Bray was going to get out of the way and I was going to go through the tables… So, we were about to shoot that scene and I was like, ‘Oh, this is gonna be cool…’ I was excited for that and Vince heard we were going to do this. [He said] ‘Oh, god, no. Sounds like too much f****** hokey wrestling in this already.”

Hardy said that McMahon wanted to change another spot last minute. He explained that when Wyatt went into the Lake of Reincarnation, McMahon wanted him to come back out “like Jason Voorhees” with a fish in his mouth, then sink back in. Hardy laughed and explained they were filming at 2 a.m. and had no way to get a fish for the spot.
