She launched her own YouTube podcast, “Threads with McKenzie Mitchell,”  which has featured a star-studded guest list, including Natalya, Jordynne Grace, Mandy Rose, Taya Valkyrie, Chelsea Green, and The IIconics (now The IInspiration), among others. The podcast has allowed fans to see Mitchell’s versatility and deep knowledge of the wrestling industry. The Future in TNA Now, McKenzie is back in familiar territory, joining TNA Wrestling during a pivotal time for the company. With TNA's relaunch earlier this year generating buzz, Mitchell’s addition to the roster is a testament to the promotion’s focus on blending seasoned professionals with new talent.

The Royal Rumble Weekend just became stratusfied  with the announcement that WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus will be hosting her first-ever  signing in Indianapolis on Friday, January 31, just one day before the 2025 Royal Rumble. Fans will have the opportunity to meet one of WWE’s greatest legends, as Trish herself shared the news on social media, expressing her excitement about visiting the city for the first time in this capacity. Trish’s Recent WWE History: From Hosting to Fighting While the fans have been eagerly waiting for her return to the ring, Trish's most recent WWE appearance was during the 2024 Money in the Bank event, where she hosted the show in her hometown of Toronto. That, however, wasn’t her only recent contribution to WWE. Last year, Trish had a standout match with Becky Lynch at Payback 2023 in a Steel Cage  match, her first high-profile in-ring return since her 2019 appearance at the WWE Evolution pay-per-view. But this signing announcement in Indianapolis has everyone talking—especially considering the fact that Trish has not appeared in a WWE match since her cage match with Lynch. Could this signing be a signal that the seven-time WWE Women's Champion is getting back into fighting shape for another showdown? Given that the Royal Rumble remains one of WWE's most unpredictable events, the fact that Trish will be in town only the day before the event has led to rampant speculation among fans that she may not just be there for the signing. Could we see Trish make a surprise return in the Royal Rumble match itself?

Last night’s Monday Night Raw  on Netflix wasn’t just another episode—it was a revolution. In an evening packed with drama, rivalries, and jaw-dropping action, Lyra Valkyria ascended to greatness as the first-ever Women’s Intercontinental Champion. If you missed it, cancel your plans and watch the replay because this match was everything. Judgment Day Brings Chaos, But the Women Deliver Fire Judgment Day opened the show in classic over-the-top fashion, stirring the pot and flexing their dominance. But the women’s division stole the spotlight. Tensions boiled over when Liv Morgan crashed Raquel Rodriguez’s locker room strategy session, throwing verbal haymakers. Liv made it crystal clear—she’s living rent-free in Rhea Ripley’s head while plotting her next big move. The stage was set for drama, but the real fireworks came in the ring. The Match That Shut Down the Doubters When Lyra Valkyria and Dakota Kai stepped into the ring, the energy in the arena shifted. This wasn’t just another match; it was a showcase of pure grit, passion, and wrestling excellence. From the opening lock-up, Lyra wasted no time showing why she’s one of the fastest-rising stars in the division. She countered Dakota’s early offense with a wristlock into a suplex, but Dakota’s veteran savvy came into play with a slick leaping snapmare. The action escalated quickly when Lyra sent Dakota face-first into the apron with a shove that echoed through the arena. And just when you thought Lyra had the upper hand, Dakota countered a dropkick by slamming her onto the mat with ruthless precision. This match wasn’t just a brawl—it was a chess game, with both women delivering counters and high-risk maneuvers that left fans gasping. Lyra’s bow-and-arrow submission looked like a match-ender, but Dakota clawed her way out, reversing into a nearfall and keeping everyone guessing. Dakota’s GTK, Lyra’s Nightwing—A Championship Moment Dakota nearly stole the victory with her signature GTK finisher, leaving Lyra sprawled on the mat. The crowd erupted, thinking it was over. But Lyra Valkyria is built different. Rolling out of the ring like a seasoned pro, she baited Dakota into a critical mistake. When Dakota missed a follow-up kick, Lyra pounced like a hawk. A slick Sling Blade turned the momentum, and the crowd went berserk when she ascended the ropes. One Nightwing  later, and it was lights out for Dakota. The referee’s hand hit the mat three times, and history was made. Lyra Valkyria: The Future of Women’s Wrestling Confetti rained, the crowd roared, and Lyra stood tall with the Women’s Intercontinental Championship held high above her head. This wasn’t just a win; it was a statement. Lyra Valkyria proved she’s not just the future—she’s right now. With the division hotter than ever, the question remains: who will step up to challenge the inaugural champ? One thing’s for sure—Lyra Valkyria’s reign is going to be must-watch TV. Women’s wrestling fans, we’re in for a wild ride. Buckle up.

Wrestling history was made last night as Sumie Sakai officially hung up her boots at NJPW Battle in the Valley , marking the end of a storied career that spanned nearly three decades. The Japanese wrestling pioneer teamed up with EVIL  and SHO  in her final match, facing the star-studded team of Hiromu Takahashi , Mayu Iwatani , and Yuka Sakazaki . Despite coming up short, Sakai’s performance was a masterclass in grace, grit, and skill, cementing her legacy as one of the all-time greats. The match itself was a showcase of brilliance, blending the old-school intensity Sakai is known for with the high-flying innovation of today’s stars. Takahashi’s team eventually secured the win, but the result was secondary to the overwhelming emotion in the San Jose Civic Center. Following the match, the crowd erupted into a standing ovation as tears flowed freely among fans and wrestlers alike. Sakai was honored with a heartfelt ten-bell salute , a traditional gesture of respect in professional wrestling. Members of the NJPW locker room, including some of her fiercest rivals and closest allies, lined the ramp to pay tribute to the trailblazing superstar. From Japan to the World: The Legacy of Sumie Sakai Sumie Sakai’s journey began in 1997 , when she debuted in All Japan Women’s Pro-Wrestling  during the golden era of Joshi wrestling. Her agility, technical prowess, and magnetic charisma quickly made her a standout in the fiercely competitive Japanese wrestling scene. Sakai later expanded her horizons, breaking into the United States wrestling circuit in 2002 , where she became a foundational figure for women’s wrestling in North America. One of her most iconic runs came in Ring of Honor (ROH) , where she competed in the promotion’s early days and left an indelible mark. Sakai made history in 2018 as the inaugural Women of Honor World Champion , a title she held with pride while defending against the best competitors from around the globe. Her influence extended far beyond the ring, as she inspired a generation of wrestlers with her resilience and passion. A Career Defined by Championships and Trailblazing Throughout her career, Sakai captured titles in numerous promotions, including All Japan Women’s Pro-Wrestling , DDT Pro-Wrestling , and many more. But her greatest accomplishment may well be her role in breaking down barriers for women in professional wrestling. Sakai was a bridge between eras, seamlessly transitioning from the hard-hitting Joshi style of the 1990s to the modern, international style that defines today’s wrestling. Her influence can be seen in the work of stars like Mayu Iwatani , who shared the ring with her one last time, and the countless others who credit her as a mentor and inspiration. The Final Bell Sumie Sakai’s retirement is more than just the end of an incredible career—it’s a celebration of the impact one individual can have on an entire industry. Her final moments in the ring at NJPW Battle in the Valley  were a poignant reminder of her contributions to the art of professional wrestling. As the crowd chanted “Thank you, Sumie,” she stood in the center of the ring, overcome with emotion, but radiating the strength and humility that have defined her career. It was a fitting send-off for a legend who dedicated her life to wrestling and left it better than she found it. Sumie Sakai may no longer be an active competitor, but her legacy will continue to inspire and influence the world of professional wrestling for generations to come. Thank you, Sumie.

The unstoppable Athena, reigning ROH Women’s World Champion, once again proved why her dominance knows no bounds. On Sunday, Athena retained her championship in a hard-fought battle against STARDOM’s Thekla, despite interference from Thekla’s faction, H.A.T.E. H.A.T.E. Enters the Fray The match, held in front of a roaring STARDOM audience, was already a high-stakes encounter, but the involvement of Thekla’s H.A.T.E. stablemates upped the ante. The faction attempted to tip the scales in Thekla’s favor, creating chaos inside and outside the ring. However, Athena, no stranger to adversity, fought through the distraction, proving once again why she is one of the most formidable champions in the business. Despite Thekla’s resilience and her group’s interference, Athena’s composure and skill shone through. In the end, the Fallen Goddess delivered her signature O-Face, securing the victory and silencing any doubts about her reign. A Second Round in the States? Following the match, Athena addressed the crowd, expressing admiration for Thekla’s effort and leaving the door wide open for a rematch—this time, on U.S. soil. "I’d love to step into the ring with Thekla again," Athena said. "She brought the fight, but next time, let’s do it on my turf. Let’s see if she’s ready to face me in the United States." While Athena hinted that her current stint in Japan has come to an end, she made it clear that her time in the country isn’t over for good. "Japan has been an incredible experience, but for now, it’s time to head home. I’ll be back, though—count on it," she assured fans. What’s Next for Athena? With her title reign continuing to gain momentum and international prestige, Athena’s next challenger could come from any corner of the wrestling world. Whether it’s a rematch with Thekla, another challenger from STARDOM, or someone from the ROH or AEW roster, one thing is certain: Athena remains the standard-bearer of dominance. As she prepares to return to the United States, the Fallen Goddess has made one thing clear—she’s not just defending a title. She’s cementing a legacy.
