The Rascalz are All Elite.

The Rascalz have debuted for AEW, and are officially signed to the company, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select has confirmed.

Fightful Select confirmed that the group has been signed since the first week of January at the latest, with the group signing multi-year deals and leaving TNA. There was an effort on TNA’s part to retain the team, but we’re told that AEW came with a better offer.

Myron Reed’s planned match with Leon Slater was suddenly pulled from advertisement for this week’s TNA on AMC debut. It was communicated to us that Myron Reed still would have happily worked that committed date. The match was canceled because of WWE possibly wanting Leon Slater for this week’s European tour.

Both Myron Reed and Dezmond Xavier were never under TNA contracts, and both Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz’s deals expired at the end of 2025. There was at least one member of the group who was determined to leave TNA, but they felt like they all left on good terms.
 
Powerhouse Hobbs is on the move.

Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp has learned that Hobbs’ AEW contract is set to expire at midnight . As things stand, we’re told that contract negotiations have been ongoing between the two sides, and AEW made him a substantial offer to remain with All Elite Wrestling. Hobbs finished up tonight at the AEW Collision tapings after Dynamite.

WWE sources that Fightful Select spoke to claim that he is expected to join the company. He is contractually eligible to do so as of this week. WWE has maintained interest in him for quite some time, and they believe he is headed there, barring some huge unforeseen change.

It was noted that AEW made Hobbs a “huge” offer to remain with the company, and that he is leaving on good terms. AEW and Hobbs have been negotiating for the last number of months, and the offer we heard was substantial, but Hobbs wanted to test the waters.

There had been some rumors bubbling under a few months ago that he could be headed to WWE, but we’re told there had not been contact at that point. There was interest in Hobbs a couple of years ago from WWE when Dan Ventrelle was heading up talent relations, but Hobbs stayed with AEW.

Legendary pro wrestling manager Jim Cornette has donated $5,000 to a GoFundMe Campaign launched to support an auto worker in Detroit that called out United States President and WWE Celebrity Hall of Famer Donald Trump for allegedly protecting deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein when Trump was making an appearance at his auto plant, according to Michigan Live.

Trump responded by telling the worker, TJ Sabula, "F*** you" twice and giving him the middle finger.

Sabula was suspended by his employer, Ford, while he is investigated for the incident, but the Auto Workers Union have publicly stated they stand with him for his right to express his opinion and that the union will protect him to the best of their ability.

“If anyone knows TJ Sabula I have a thank-you, a handshake and a check for $5,000 ready for him” Cornette wrote on his Twitter account. His wife then made the donation for him once they were made aware of the GoFundMe Campaign.

The release of government files related to Epstein have been a political mindfield over the last year with Trump attempting to deflect away from having them released, but later signing their release into law after the U.S. Congress overwhelmingly passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, forcing the Department of Justice to release unclassified documents related to Epstein and past investigations into him.

Oh gawd no.

Hobbs MOS DEFINITELY need to be main roster bound. Unless they reuniting him wit Ricky so they can run some sorta faction...then Hobbs needs to go straight to the main. SD needs a talent like him more than anything.

He only need to go to NXT unless they plan on giving him the Oba Femi treatment. And Karver could be that one to get that.

But we g'on see. How AEW gonna explain this considering her was 1 of 3 trios champ...will be interesting. Lol

They (lost / are losing) the trios titles on Collision
 
The thing is I know he older but he could use NXT. Powerhouse still has alot of green in him and could use the performance center classes.
