  • Dana White Says White House Correspondents Dinner Shooting Was “F-cking Awesome”

    Dana White Says White House Correspondents Dinner Shooting Was “F-cking Awesome”

    Saturday Night, President Donald Trump and company held a White House Correspondents dinner at the Washington Hilton hotel ballroom in Washington, D.C.

    In what ended up being a chaotic scene, a shooter was active in the building and shots were fired. Officers in tactical gear with guns jumped over tables, brandishing their weapons as the president and other dignitaries were rushed from the stage as other guests ran and hid under tables.

    One of those guests was UFC president Dana White, and he, surprisingly, had a glowing stance about what occurred. He thought it was awesome.

    ”Inside, they started up- all the sudden it started getting noisy. Tables getting flipped over, guys running in with guns, and they were screaming “get down”. I didn’t get down. It was fucking awesome! I literally took every minute of it in and it was pretty, pretty crazy unique experience.”

    Dana White went on to say that he was directly seated in front of the President’s table, and at first he thought the shooter was over by them for a second.

    No one was hurt in the chaos that occurred, and the shooter was captured. As of now, they believe it was just a sole shooter.

    While this went down, UFC’s Fight Night event was happening in Las Vegas. You can see results from that here.

  • Seth Rollins Explains Getting A Black Eye From Bron Breakker’s Spear

    Seth Rollins Explains Getting A Black Eye From Bron Breakker’s Spear

    Seth Rollins has had a tough week in the world of WWE. He lost to Gunther at WrestleMania, was speared multiple times by Bron Breakker and even has a black eye to show for it.

    This week, Seth Rollins joined the crew at The Rich Eisen Show to talk about the NFL Draft. It was there where host Rich Eisen realized Seth had a black eye, and asked what happened. Seth revealed that somehow, the black eye came from a Bron Breakker spear at WrestleMania.

    “Bron Breaker. Yeah. It was his foot. His foot gave it to me when he speared me, figure that out.” He said “This lunatic came so fast down the ramp when he flipped as he speared me, his foot hit me in the eye. I was on the ground writhing in pain because I couldn’t breathe, wondering why my eye was also swelling. The man has a real problem. He does not know his own speed, his own strength. He’s on autopilot in the scariest way.”

    After some confusion about how this could’ve possibly happened, Rollins explained that Bron basically hit a scorpion and his heel hit his eye.
    ”Targeted to my midsection, somehow double-tapped me on the way down. That’s how quick. I was not even on the ground before the foot got me in the face.” Seth continued “I think it was a heel. So he scorpioned up and wham, got me right. I’ve never seen it before. Hopefully I never have to see it again. I’m sick of it. Actually, I saw it twice on Monday, too. It’s not been a great weekend for me.”
    Rollins certainly has taken a beating this week. You can see the full interview with the man himself below.

    AEW Dynamite: Darby Allin Set To Defend World Championship Next Week

    Darby Allin main evented tonight’s AEW Dynamite in successful fashion, but the train doesn’t stop now. It just keeps going.

    Tonight on AEW Dynamite, Darby Allin said ahead of his match that after winning the AEW World Championship last week, he would be willing to be a fighting champion every week until his body cannot go anymore. And it all started with tonight’s main event against Tommaso Ciampa.

    Darby and Ciampa had a killer match that was full of craziness, blood and the crowd on their feet the entire time. But, after what was a hard-fought defense, Darby Allin made Tommaso Ciampa tap out to the scorpion death lock.

    Following the match, Brody King made his presence known. He said that he spoke to Tony Khan, and if Darby is up for the challenge, he wants Darby for the World Title next week. Darby simply shook his hand in agreement.

    Earlier on in the night, Brody King had defeated Lio Rush and then said he’d be watching the main event to keep a close eye on it. Now, he gets his shot in one week on AEW Dynamite.

  • AEW Dynamite: TNT Championship Match Made Official For Next Week

    AEW Dynamite: TNT Championship Match Made Official For Next Week

    The AEW TNT Championship was almost on the line on tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite, but it’s been delayed until next week, thanks to MJF.

    MJF kicked off tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite and was furious over the fact that he lost the AEW World Championship last week against Darby Allin. MJF said he was cheated out of a win, and wanted Darby to come out and hand him the title right now.

    Instead came ‘The Jet’ Kevin Knight. Kevin is of course the new TNT Champion, and flaunted that fact to MJF. Knight also made it clear that he had MJF beat a few weeks ago until MJF cheated, so if anyone was scammed out of gold, it was him. But, Kevin Knight had no problem ripping MJF a new one in Rip City and putting his championship on the line tonight.

    MJF gladly accepted and brought a referee out, ready to fight for the AEW TNT Championship. But, once the match was about to begin, MJF left, and said he’d see Kevin next week. It was then made official minutes later. Next week on AEW Dynamite; Kevin Knight versus MJF for the TNT Championship.

  • Pro Wrestler Sareee Hits Jackpot On Slot Machine In Las Vegas

    Pro Wrestler Sareee Hits Jackpot On Slot Machine In Las Vegas

    WrestleMania 42 was live in Las Vegas, Nevada this past weekend. Not only was there a lot of wrestling going on, but probably a lot of gambling, too.

    Las Vegas is known for its casinos and night life, making it one of the best or worst places, depending on if you win or not. For former WWE NXT wrestler Sareee, it was the best time for her. She revealed that while she was actually at the airport, she tried her luck on a slot machine, and it was certainly beginners luck, as she hit big. She posted a photo of the win and captioned it “Beginners luck! I was so surprised!”

    https://x.com/sareee_official/status/2046853161890271435?s=46

    While Sareee waited for her airplane back to Japan after a weekend filled with wrestling and meeting fans, she hit a jackpot of $6,347.00 on a slot machine. This converts to 1,010,794.66 Japanese Yen. What a huge win!

    Congrats to Sareee. It seems like beginners luck is really real!

  • AEW Dynamite Preview 4/22, World Championship Match Set

    AEW Dynamite Preview 4/22, World Championship Match Set

    AEW Dynamite is live tonight on TBS at 8PM ET. The show will be held at The Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Portland, Oregon and is headlined by an AEW World Championship Match.

    Last week, Darby Allin shocked the world and defeated MJF in very quick fashion to become the new AEW World Championship in his hometown of Seattle. Now, there’s no rest for the new champion as he will defend his gold against Tommaso Ciampa.

    Ciampa made it very clear last week that he was gunning for the AEW World Championship, and luckily for him, he doesn’t have to wait long. The two will clash tonight.

    Plus, we’re also set to hear from Darby Allin, as well. It’ll be interesting to see what he has to say coming off of the biggest win of his career.

    https://x.com/aew/status/2046773483166679051?s=46

    Elsewhere on the show, we will see Will Ospreay go head-to-head against former friend Mark Davis. This comes after Mark Davis laid out Will Ospreay last week with a devastating pile-driver just moments after he beat Mark’s Don Callis Family stablemate in Hechicero. Now, Ospreay can try for some payback.

    Lastly, in the AEW women’s division, something is cooking up with Hikaru Shida. But, what is it? Mina Shirakawa accused Shida of being the person who attacked Toni Storm and warns Kris Statlander to not trust Hikaru. We don’t know if that’s true or not, but, Shida didn’t take too kindly to the accusations and the two will battle tonight.

    More matches will be announced throughout the day by AEW. Stay tuned for more AEW Dynamite news and results during tonight’s event.

  • Giovanni Vinci Speaks On WWE Release, Was And Wasn’t Surprised

    Giovanni Vinci Speaks On WWE Release, Was And Wasn’t Surprised

    Giovanni Vinci was released from WWE over a year ago. Since then, he’s been pretty quiet as it pertains to wrestling. He hasn’t shown up anywhere, and while he’s active on social media, it’s mostly fitness content.
    Now, the former WWE star sat down for an interview with Chris Van Vliet where he as asked about his WWE release and if the call came as a surprise. For him, it was a surprise, but it also was not. He explained;
    “I was and I wasn’t because, I mean, during the summer of the year previous, I wasn’t on TV, but I knew there was a plan to come back eventually. We did those vignettes and everything, but that didn’t last long, unfortunately. So after that, I noticed when some thoughts started to creep in. I tried to focus on the positive, and I always had high hopes. Like, for example, when the new year started, I know SmackDown went from two hours to three hours, and I was told, you know, there’s a quote from one of the producers, we have all the real estate in the world, there’s just not enough land. Basically, you have all the great wrestlers, there’s just not enough time on the show. So when SmackDown went to three hours, I thought, well, maybe now it’s gonna happen, maybe here’s the chance, and whatever. Then, yeah, I wasn’t needed for TV for a couple of weeks. You don’t want to hear that call. But when it happened, I can’t say that I was really surprised at it. So it was kind of a weird mix of feelings.”
    Later on in the interview, Vinci said he still wants to wrestle, but he’s waiting for the right opportunity. You can see the full interview below.
