Stephanie Wacker is reportedly coming back to WWE television, as PWInsider reports that the former Women’s World Champion is expected to return to screens soon.

This update is a change from what was reported in the weeks after Wacker’s injury was confirmed. WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select previously reported that Wacker was on the shelf for the foreseeable future, with no widely known return timetable within the company, and internal rumblings pointing to at least a six-week absence, with optimism but no guarantees that she would return for SummerSlam.

Wecker’s injury was legitimized by Bryan Alvarez after the Raw angle, in which Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Pérez, working with Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan, attacked Wecker backstage. After Pérez drove a tool box into Wacker’s shoulder during the segment, Michael Cole announced on commentary that she suffered a second-degree AC sprain and would be out for some time.

The exact cause of the injury was never confirmed, leaving open the possibility that it predated the Raw angle and the attack was used to get her off television so that it could be addressed as per the storyline upon her return.

The timing of the injury made it difficult from a creative point of view. Wacker recently lost the Women’s World Championship to Morgan at WrestleMania 42 Night 1 in a match that BodySlam reported was kept shorter than planned due to both performers already dealing with physical problems heading into the show.

Second-degree AC sprains – which involve a partial tear of the acromioclavicular ligament – ​​typically require several weeks to a few months for recovery depending on the severity, making PWInsider’s report of an imminent return a positive update for both Wacker and the women’s division.

Danhausen’s mystery partner at WWE Backlash in Tampa this Saturday could be about to generate the wrong kind of reaction from fans.

Brian Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer wrote on If the rumor turns out to be true, it’s a reveal that won’t go down well with audiences who are tired of celebrity presence in the company.

That framing tells its own story. The betting odds at Backlash place Punk as the favorite to become Danhausen’s partner at -200, with Joe Hendry at +200, Mr. Iguana at +300, and Jelly Roll at +400. A crowd expecting a punk hit, but getting jelly rolls instead, could have a bad reaction at Amalie Arena on Saturday night.

Before Cody Rhodes retained the Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42, there were plans for Jelly Roll to team with Rhodes at Backlash in a tag match against Orton and Pat McAfee.

That program fell apart when McAfee opted out of the program following negative fan reaction to his inclusion at WrestleMania, and Orton has not appeared on WWE programming since this event, amid reports that he was struggling with physical problems on the show.

With the original tags matching the table, it appears that Jelly Roll’s involvement has been redirected to the Danhausen program. Whether that creative pivot satisfies viewers who have been waiting to learn who Danhausen’s partner is, but the contrast between CM Punk’s revelations and Jelly Roll’s revelations may backfire.

On Saturday night, WWE returned with its latest premium live event, Backlash. The card in Tampa, FL features just five matches and will also include a special announcement from WWE icon John Cena. There’s always a chance for surprises when it comes to WWE PLE, and the last two editions of Backlash included the emergence of new members to the Solo Sequoia version of Bloodline.

With that in mind, we present five potential surprises to look out for on Saturday at Backlash.

Kairi Sane will make a surprise return at WWE Backlash

To the dismay of many WWE fans, women’s division stalwart Kairi Sane was one of nearly 30 roster releases over the past few weeks. This left many disappointed as she was unable to complete her ongoing storyline with longtime friend Asuka.

However, in recent times there have been rumors that Sane may make a special appearance at Backlash to finish what he started. Given how much TV time was devoted to the storyline over the past year, look for Sane to make a one-off return to help Iyo Sky defeat Asuka.

Braun Breaker defeated Seth Rollins at Backlash

Had it not been for an unfortunate injury, Seth Rollins would have faced Braun Breaker at WrestleMania 42. However, instead, we got this huge grudge match at Backlash. The couch booker in all of us would suggest that Rollins gets the W on Saturday as The Breaker played a role in his loss to Gunther at ‘Mania and has consistently gained the upper hand on his former mentor since then.

However, Rollins is a made man, and WWE is working hard to develop future WrestleMania main eventers. While fans would love a Rollins victory, don’t be surprised if Breaker’s run of success against the former leader of The Vision continues this weekend.

Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu ends in disqualification

The main event of Backlash will see Roman Reigns defend the World Heavyweight Title for the first time against his cousin, “The Samoan Werewolf” Jacob Fatu. If there’s any guarantee on Saturday, it’s that Reigns isn’t losing his title. However, getting a decisive and clean win over Fatu may not benefit the company long term as he is someone they are trying to build into a main event talent.

That’s why we predict Backlash will end with a disqualification to ensure that Reigns hold on to the title and that they keep Fatu strong to set up another match in their next PLE.

John Cena will announce the return of WWE Draft

WWE legend John Cena has been bullish about his appearance at Backlash and on Thursday claimed his announcement would “shake the foundation of WWE.” There is speculation that this club will be related to the launch of WWE. However, it may ultimately lead to boos from the crowd in Tampa.

To avoid an unpleasant moment with the beloved legend, we predict the company will go in the other direction and announce the return of WWE Draft. They didn’t do that in 2024, and both Raw and SmackDown are in desperate need of a change in the status quo.

‘Cola Man Punk’ will be Danhausen’s mystery partner

One of the most anticipated elements of Backlash this year was the reveal of who Danhausen’s mystery opponent would be in the tag match against The Miz and Kit Wilson. There has been much speculation as to who he might be, including the sinister return of Jelly Roll. However, we expect WWE to deliver a fan-pleasing moment that will partner “Cola Man Punk”, aka CM Punk.

Danhausen and Punk are real-life friends, and the latter played a big role in bringing the former to WWE. Punk is not in a storyline at the moment, and this would be a fun way to put him in action in a great moment and create an unlikely team-up on television.

Thomas Frank’s agent says his client is enjoying life with his family and friends since leaving Tottenham Hotspur in February.

Spurs parted ways with Anze Postecoglou in June 2025, days after helping them win the Europa League.

The Premier League team appointed the Dane as his successor, but things did not work out.

Two months ago, Tottenham sent Frank out and brought in Igor Tudor. The latter has also left the club, and Roberto De Zerbi took over from him on 31 March.

Frank managed 38 matches during his tenure at the north London club. His record with them is as follows:

• Match: 38
• Win: 13
• Draw: 10
• Defeat: 15
• Goals scored: 62
• Target allowed: 54

Frank’s situation after his exit from Tottenham

Wednesday edition of spare magazine There’s a report on what Thomas Frank has been up to since leaving Spurs.

He has not given any interviews or appeared on podcasts or any shows to discuss his exit from Tottenham Hotspur.

The newspaper points out that it is common for managers to speak out after leaving a club and cites the exits of Frederik Birk and Jakob Nystrup from Brøndby IF and FC Copenhagen respectively earlier this season as examples.

Frank’s silence is ‘somewhat unusual’ as he has already declined four requests from Ekstra Bladet for an interview.

He also contacted the north London club to find out if there is a clause that prevents the 52-year-old from speaking about Tottenham for a specific period. However, there was no response.

The newspaper also contacted his agent Alan Bach regarding Frank’s current condition and lack of interviews.

Responding to that he said: “He’s going to get some rest and meet friends and family. There’s still a little time left for interviews.”

“He is enjoying this time with his family and friends. He has decided to give up alcohol and relax.”

Spurs have not improved since Frank’s departure

last month, Danish press reported Still a worrying issue at Tottenham Hotspur after Frank’s exit.

Spurs now sit 18th in the table and Roberto De Zerbi has six matches to avoid relegation.

Sweden manager Graham Potter says Tottenham Hotspur’s Dejan Kulusevski will visit the national team camp in Spain.

The attacking midfielder missed the last three international breaks with Sweden and is not in the squad for the upcoming fixtures.

That’s because the Tottenham star is on the sidelines until May 2025.

In fact, his last appearance was in Spurs’ league defeat to Crystal Palace at the end of the 2024/25 season.

The 25-year-old suffered a shock and successfully underwent surgery. This caused him to miss the north London club’s Europa League final victory over Manchester United last season.

Initial expectations were that Kulusevski would return in late 2025 but this did not happen. He has yet to recover and has not made a Premier League appearance since the original issue.

witness the game provided a timeline of his recovery process.

• On 1 October, John Dahl Tomasson, who was the national team manager at the time, Spurs attacker explained He is in “a different phase of his rehabilitation”. Later that month, Sweden dismissed him and appointed Potter as his successor.
• Former Chelsea on 20 November the manager pointed out Kulusevski could return “around the New Year.”
• A month later, Potter was confident His players returned for the March international break, but optimism vanished in February. the coach accepted “It will be tough to get back in March.”

Last week, Potter shared negative news about his current situation.

“Dejan is progressing but not as fast as we would like,” He said.

The national team is in Valencia for a World Cup qualifier against Ukraine this weekend. The Spurs man is also in Spain, and Potter has confirmed he will visit his compatriots.

“He is in Spain and I think he will come here with us during the week,” He said.

evening paper Additional quotes have been released from the former West Ham United manager regarding Dejan Kulusevski.

“Dejan is in Spain so I think he will come here and meet us. It will be good to see him. At the stage he is at in his rehabilitation, it is fine for him.” Potter explained.

“For others it is more difficult because they are in the phase of their rehabilitation where it means it is more difficult to be on the pitch. But Dejan will come and it will be fantastic.”

Expressen and Aftonbladet did not clarify why he traveled to Spain in the first place. Chances are he’s trying to train in some warm weather, or at least warmer weather.

Randy Orton’s heel turn against Cody Rhodes on the March 13 episode of SmackDown set the stage for another interesting storyline coming to WrestleMania 42. Three days later, on the March 16 edition of Raw, Orton was shown on the phone with an unknown person, and the identity of that caller has become one of the most discussed mysteries in WWE at this time.

But I am saying busted open radio, WWE Hall of Famers Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer both offered their theories as to who was on the other end of that call. Bully Ray suggested two names from the Flair family, with Charlotte being his preferred choice.

“Who was on the phone with Randy? There’s no doubt it could have been Rick, and Rick probably said things to Cody that would blow Cody’s mind,” he said. “‘But I would be devastated if Charlotte couldn’t do the same, and no one would be able to see Charlotte coming. It would be very different, a new look.

“You want to talk about royals? You’ll have an Orton in the ring, you’ll have a Flair in the ring, you’ll have a Rhodes in the ring. That’s cool in itself. I like the idea of ​​you having Charlotte.”

The appeal of the Charlotte Flair scenario is obvious. His involvement would add a layer of surprise that Ric Flair’s appearance wouldn’t have at this point, given how often his name is linked to WWE storylines.

Charlotte’s alliance with Orton against Rhodes would also have its own history, given the Rhodes and Flair family’s long-running ties in the wrestling business. The optics of three generational surnames colliding at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas will carry real weight.

Could The Rock Be Randy Orton’s Secret Supporter?

Dreamer took a different direction altogether, pointing to The Rock as his candidate. “It’s a Tommy Dreamer conspiracy theory. I think The Rock is talking to Randy Orton. I mean, it happened when he said there’s another royal family, I’m fine. Is he talking to Cowboy Bob?

And like, I understand it. Your grandfather was a great charmer. Your father was a great charming man. But then I’m also trying to think, who is the other royal family? And that other royal is The Rock. It’s the only thing I can think of.”

Nottingham Forest’s Lorenzo Lucca has been struggling with an injury which has caused him to miss recent Premier League matches.

is according to radio marsWho are following the 25-year-old’s latest situation at Nottingham Forest.

In July 2025, Udinese allowed the striker to join Napoli on loan with an obligation to buy. He struggled under Antonio Conte and there were question marks over his attitude at the Naples club.

Despite this, the Serie A side made his stay permanent in January and immediately sent him on loan to Nottingham Forest. When he arrived at the City Ground, Sean Dyche was in charge.

Last month, the Reds parted ways with the former Everton boss and appointed Vitor Pereira as his successor.

Nottingham Forest player’s mystery revealed

The Italy international started in Nottingham Forest’s 2-1 home defeat to Fenerbahce in the Europa League. Despite the defeat, the English club has made it to the next round of the competition.

The Napoli-owned player has not appeared for the Premier League team since. Earlier this month, Sport Witness Claims broadcast from Italy Questions are being raised on his attitude at the city ground.

four days ago, game witness Italy’s claims covered again He stressed that there was no clarity on Perera’s decision to remove Lucca.

Pereira left him out of the squad for the Premier League matches against Brighton & Hove Albion and Manchester City.

Radio Marte State: ‘Urban legends suggest character issues, such as those that emerged in Napoli.’

However, the reality is different as Lucca is ‘suffering from an ankle problem’. The report said this was why he was substituted after the break against the Turkish club. There is no mention or indication of how long Lucca may be out of action.

Lucca’s contract situation at the City Ground

The frontman made his Nottingham Forest debut in a 3–1 Premier League defeat to Leeds United in February. He came off the bench to score for the Reds and it remains his only goal so far.

Lucca has played 194 minutes in five matches for the English club, who have secured a purchase option.

If he is sidelined for a long period of time, the chances of Nottingham Forest using the buyout clause will be significantly reduced. Even if he returns soon, it is not likely that Perera’s team will buy him.

Some interesting posts on Friday on

Over the past two weeks there has been a lot of speculation about what is in the boxes on Raw and SmackDown. A popular choice among fans is AEW alumni Danhausen. A guy who was reportedly set to become a free agent in the coming months. Well, some of his posts today might suggest that he is free from all the shackles of aristocracy. Both can be found below.

An oddsmaker site has revealed who is most likely to be in the mystery box to be opened at WWE Elimination Chamber this Saturday. However, they also have some interesting and extremely bizarre betting options.

We’re just days away from the 2026 Elimination Chamber. An event that will be the final stop on the road to WrestleMania 42. This Saturday’s event will, of course, include men’s and women’s chamber matches. The winners of those matches will face WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill at a two-night event in April.

The card also features a pair of title matches that will see AJ Lee make her first singles match in over a decade when she takes on rival Becky Lynch. And CM Punk put the heavyweight belt on the line against Finn Balor at Judgment Day.

However, there is another unique feature of Elimination Chamber that many other wrestling fans have been waiting for. What’s in the box? On last week’s edition of Monday Night Raw, a mysterious box appeared backstage that said it would not be opened until 2-28-2006. This weekend’s Elimination Chamber date.

Since its arrival, there has been much speculation as to who or what is in the box. Well, this week MyBookie.ag revealed their odds for what will be revealed on Saturday, and they had some interesting options.

Wrestling fans love a good mystery, and WWE has one set for this month’s Elimination Chamber premium live event. On this week’s edition of WWE Raw, a mysterious box arrived on the Box Stage with a note that it would not be opened until February 28, which is the date of Elimination Chamber.

Ever since the mystery box arrived, there has been speculation about who or what would be inside it. With that in mind, we present six ideas for what WWE fans will find when the boxes open next Saturday.

Chris Jericho

Many fans and podcasters are hoping that the mystery box is somehow connected to the return of Chris Jericho. There have been rumors for several months that the WWE veteran’s AEW contract was set to expire at the end of 2025, and all signs were pointing towards a return to WWE this year. Bringing him back just in time for WrestleMania 42 makes sense.

However, a new report this week claims that he is still under contract with AEW after his contract expired last year. So the likelihood of him or anything related to him being in the box seems very slim.

denhausen

If there really is a person in the mystery box, it would make sense if they weren’t tied to real life. So it would require someone who has some supernatural elements in his character. That’s why it makes sense to have AEW veteran Danhausen in the box.

The box mirrors when Dracula is sent to England in the famous Bram Stoker book, and Danhausen is like a hilariously wrestling version of Nosferatu. If a creature is kept locked in that box for several weeks, it makes for a funny start to the beloved comedy-driven character.

New WWE Hardcore Championship

Many people have an assumption that the mystery box that is opened at the Elimination Chamber must contain a person, but it could be one thing, and that thing could be a new belt. However, instead of introducing a new title, it would not be surprising if the company brings back one of its former championships.

Considering how the box looks, the return of a hardcore title would be an ideal choice. That belt has long been a favorite among fans, but the type of matches it brought about was a unique aspect of the Attitude Era. Adding more violent matches to diversify the circus that is WWE and provide some talent a new path to fame would be a fun surprise on the road to WrestleMania.

‘Broken’ Matt Hardy and Brother Nero

Going back to the idea of ​​a character with supernatural elements in the mysterious box. The second option is the unexpected return of the legendary duo, the Hardy Boyz. Recently, Matt Hardy claimed that the tag team will be on WWE TV again in 2026 after making several appearances on NXT last year.

But what if they came back to the company this time because their “Broken Universe” alter ego? Hardy being in TNA, but then the “Broken” version in WWE could be a fun confrontation and offer something unique for both brands. The characters that could potentially clash with Wyatt Six at WrestleMania could be something that will be established by his return.

New WWE European Title

In the past year, WWE has pushed hard into Europe and has begun doing live editions of Raw and SmackDown in major European cities. They have brought in even more European prospects in recent years.

That’s why now could be the right time for the return of the European title. When it comes to possible options for what’s in the mystery box, one possibility is the title being “shipped from Europe” for its return to WWE TV.

evil

Another guy who would be a wise choice to stay inside the box is former IWGP Champion EVIL. The longtime NJPW star reportedly recently became a free agent, and rumors claim he is linked to WWE. There are also some supernatural elements in his character. Therefore, the company is focused on how to present him to a North American audience unfamiliar with his work.
