News here! Today we have commentary on Kurt Angle’s WrestleMania Opponent, The Young Bucks In AAA, Main Roster Stars On NXT and More!

Finn Balor Mystery Partner Is…..??? (Possible Spoiler)
RAW will feature an interesting tag team match this week. Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush will team up to take on Finn Balor and a mystery partner. Much speculation has made it’s way around the internet this weekend as to who Balor’s partner will be. Many wrestling news outlets have noted that Sami Zayn has been cleared to wrestle, and is a candidate to team up with Balor.
Jason’s Take
Zayn would make sense, as it has been rumored he has been cleared for a return for some time now.
Kurt Angle To Reveal WrestleMania Opponent On Raw
WWE has noted that Kurt Angle plans to announce his WrestleMania opponent on RAW. Along with the speculation of the partner of Balor, news as to who will face Angle has been speculated since he announced his retirement last week. Many have speculated that it will be John Cena, as John Cena made his main roster debut facing Angle in the same building that RAW will be held at on Monday. WWE also listed six potential opponents on their Instagram account, which includes Cena.
Jason’s Take
I said last week in the news shuffle that Cena makes the most sense. It is an intriguing matchup in which no storyline is really needed, but the history is already there. If I were a betting man and wanted to bet on a longshot, I would go with the Undertaker. Although very unlikely, if there were a match for Undertaker, this would be it
WWE Teases Main Roster Stars On NXT
Back in November of last year, HHH talked about the possibility of main roster stars wrestling on NXT stating:
“I think you could be at a place where you see main level talent stay at NXT. I think we’re also at the point where you can see some talent on Raw and SmackDown that has had success or not had success or for whatever reason aren’t being utilized, they could go back into NXT.” He noted that he sees NXT as a third brand and “I think you could see a lot of these talent become mainstays in the brand that they’re in — NXT included.”
WWE’s Twitter account Tweeted names asking what they were doing Wednesday nights.
Hey, @DanaBrookeWWE @WWESheamus @WWECesaro @LukeHarperWWE & @WWEFandango…
What are you guys up to Wednesday nights at 8/7c? #WWENXT #NXTPOV pic.twitter.com/EcUjihhIV9

Jason’s Take
The Bar is an interesting choice to jump to NXT. I can see Fandango and Dana Brooke back on NXT. Dana Brooke was a bright spot during her time on NXT. I don’t know what happened to her with the move to the main roster but it feels something was lost in transition. Dana Brooke can compete, and there are a lot of talented women on the NXT roster that she can have entertaining matches with.
The Young Bucks Win AAA Tag Team Championship
Saturday night at the AAA Rey de Reyes event, the Young Bucks defeated the Lucha Bros to win the AAA Tag Team championship. The Lucha Bros. had initially won the tag titles after defeating Rey Escorpion and El Texano Jr. However, after the match, Konnan confronted the new champions, the lights went out and The Young Bucks appeared in the ring and a match was made for the tag titles.
Jason’s Take
This adds a bit more to the teams match at Double Or Nothing. That match should be very entertaining.
Chelsea Green Suffers Broken Wrist
At this week’s NXT tapings, Chelsea Green suffered a wrist injury in a dark match.
Wishing @ImChelseaGreen a speedy recovery! https://t.co/nrQbWOpOdM

TNA Impact on AMC Drops to 175,000 Viewers, 0.03 18-49 Rating Amid Heavy Sports Competition
TNA Thursday Night Impact averaged 175,000 viewers on AMC last week, a 17.5% decline from the previous week’s 212,000 and the lowest audience since January 22. The show posted a 0.03 rating in the key 18-49 demo, down 25% and matching its lowest demo figure on AMC since the move.
The drop coincided with stiff competition — Impact ran opposite the NFL Draft (simulcast on ESPN, ABC and the NFL Network) as well as NHL and NBA playoff coverage, leaving the program tied for 70th on the primetime cable charts. Versus the prior 10-week average (0.04 rating and 240,300 viewers), last week’s show fell 25% in the demo and 27.2% in overall viewers.

Nick Hogan Open to Pursuing In-Ring Career After Viewing Hulk Hogan: Real American
Nick Hogan told the Bonus Edition of the 83 Weeks podcast that after watching the final version of Hulk Hogan: Real American he’s more open than ever to stepping into the ring if the opportunity presents itself. Hogan said he’s been knocking off ring rust, is in good shape and “would absolutely welcome” the chance to pursue an in‑ring career, and noted the docuseries — which premiered on Netflix on April 22, 2026 — helped clarify his father’s legacy.
He also praised the series for pulling back the curtain on the many facets of Hulk Hogan, from character work to charitable efforts, saying it showed how dynamic a person his father is. Nick added that the long-discussed Chris Hemsworth biopic from 2019 remains a possibility despite delays, as the documentary continues to renew interest in Hogan’s story.
