Jason Kelce Defends Pro Wrestling: ‘As Real as Any TV Show’

NFL legend Jason Kelce has defended pro wrestling from detractors who dismiss those who risk their bodies in the ring as ‘fake.’ Speaking on the Rich Eisen Show, Kelce pointed at the fallacy of those who criticize wrestling but still enjoy other scripted entertainment.

“People say wrestling is fake. So is the TV show you’re watching. You can still have a level of respect for the amazing physical specimens doing outrageous things.”

Kelce grew up watching both WWE and WCW, though never really got into WrestleMania until he was invited to participate. At this year’s event, Kelce and Lane Johnson helped Rey Mysterio and Andrade defeat Santos Escobar and Dominik Mysterio. Although Kelce didn’t take any bumps at WrestleMania 40, it was important to him to gain a painful education about what wrestlers put themselves through.

“I learned how to bump, how to clothesline, how to get slapped in the chest and act like it doesn’t hurt. It actually does hurt.”

While some still put down wrestling as fake, many are wise to the fact that while pre-determined, those who step into the ring take genuine risks in the name of entertainment. Kelce has yet to make an appearance for WWE since WrestleMania, but if he does, the former offensive lineman will return to the squared circle with a genuine respect and appreciation for the Superstars.

Bianca Belair Meets Vanessa Hudgens Backstage At WWE Raw

One-half of the Women’s tag team champions Bianca Belair recently came across Hollywood star Vanessa Hudgens.

Hudgens, who is an avid WWE fan, made her presence felt at the November 25th episode of WWE Raw, and she was on-camera. She whipped her hair like Belair, and even acknowledged Roman Reigns.

WWE dropped a video clip on social media which Hudgens met Bianca Belair in a backstage segment. Hudgens and Belair whipped their hair, and they hugged in a heartfelt moment. ‘The EST of WWE’ stated that she was excited that Hudgens was there and the latter also shared the same excitement.

Last night, Bianca Belair emerged victorious in the WarGames Advantage for her team, which found its fifth member. In the main event of the show, Belair squared off against WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax. They went back and forth, and Belair had her strength on display during the clash. In the final moments of the match, Bayley came out and tripped up Jax. ‘causing her to hit an exposed turnbuckle. ‘The EST’ took advantage of it and scored the win.

Belair and Bayley looked at each other and nodded following the match. It appears that Bayley will join Belair’s team for the Women’s WarGames Match at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames.

Belair’s team had been down a member as Jade Cargill was attacked backstage and taken out of the match. It is still unclear who attacked Cargill. At WWE Survivor Series: WarGames, Belair, Naomi, Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, and now seemingly Bayley will team up to take on the team of Jax, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Tiffany Stratton, and Candice LeRae.

Hornswoggle Recalls Being Paralysed When He Was 4 Years Old

Hornswoggle has revealed that he was paralyzed from the waist down when he was just four years old.

The former WWE star recently appeared on Undertaker’s Six Feet Under podcast. He discussed things such as his start in wrestling, hiding under the ring, and more.

Talking about the various health issues he has had to deal with throughout his life, Hornswoggle revealed that he was born with a bad case of scoliosis. He underwent surgery to make things better when he was just four years old but the former Cruiserweight champion actually ended up getting paralyzed from the waist down:

“When I was young my people, we’re born with scoliosis. When I was born, I had it real bad and when I was four, they tried to do the surgery on me to straighten it.

The doctor never did a surgery on a person like me. So he cut me open, he hit a nerve in my spine and ended up paralyzing me cuz he’s never done surgery on my people. I was four. I had that surgery and then was paralyzed from the waist down and just full body cast.”

No Trampolines And No Contact Sports: Hornswoggle

Hornswoggle had to get another surgery where a rod was inserted into his back after this. After the second surgery, the doctor had warned Swoggle’s parents about playing dangerous sports:

“Then we found a doctor in Minneapolis who specializes in little person surgeries and put a rod in my back. First thing he says when we get out of surgery to my parents at the time is ‘Hey no trampolines and no contact sports.’

Years and years later obviously when I started working for WWE, He randomly like emailed or called my dad or something. He was like ‘I see he didn’t listen to me very much’ and my dad goes ‘yeah he didn’t listen to me either obviously'”

The former WWE star later revealed that over time his nerves have gone around his spine and cut feelings from his legs. While he’s still able to use his legs, he can’t feel any sensation in them. Per Swoggle his legs always just feel cold.

Cody Rhodes & LA Knight In Action After (11/25) WWE Raw

Fans at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale were in for a treat after this week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw went off the air. The show served as the go-home show for Survivor Series: WarGames, as well as the introduction of the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. In the main event, Bianca Belair defeated Nia Jax to give the EST’s team the entry-order advantage this weekend inside WarGames.

The post-show antics at this week’s Raw saw not one but two championships on the line. First up, LA Knight retained the United States Championship against Santos Escobar. Knight will defend the title against Shinsuke Nakamura at Survivor Series: WarGames, a match made official during Raw.

Up next, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes put his title on the line against Solo Sikoa in a Street Fight. Once again, Rhodes stood tall over the leader of The Bloodline and sent the crowd home happy.

Rhodes’ attention will now turn towards Kevin Owens, who will challenge Cody for the title at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14. Stay tuned to SEScoops from all the latest from WWE Raw, both on and off the air.

Vanessa Hudgens Acknowledges Roman Reigns During WWE Raw Appearance

Actress Vanessa Hudgens was in attendance for this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw from the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.

The High School Musical and Bad Boys star was shown on screen during the broadcast. She spinned her braid like Bianca Belair and also acknowledged the Tribal Chief by copying the Bloodline’s trademark pose:

Hudgens is a longtime wrestling fan. She previously shared stories on her social media about Dirty Dom’s betrayal of Rhea Ripley and his new alliance with Liv Morgan at this year’s SummerSlam.

Vanessa was also one of the stars who posed with the Gold WWE Championship belt gifted to Snoop Dogg. After the belt was stolen from Snoop, names such as Pete Davidson, William Shatner and NFL star Rob Gronkoswki have all posted stories with it.

WWE also made a big announcement for the Women’s Division on this week’s Raw, unveiling the brand-new Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Adam Pearce announced a tournament to crown the Inaugural champion beginning next week.

Apart from this, the company announced a couple of new title matches for Saturday’s Survivor Series PPV and the show featured a heated exchange between Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods ahead of New Day’s 10-year anniversary celebration.

Xavier Woods And Kofi Kingston Trade Personal Shots In Intense Segment Ahead of New Day Anniversary

Tensions have reached an all-time high between New Day teammates Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston before the anniversary of the group’s in-ring debut.

The duo fought The Alpha Academy on the November 25 Raw. Kingston was in the ring to begin the action at the start, but Woods tagged himself in.

Otis imminently levelled both the New Day stars and he then took out Kingston with The Caterpillar. Tozawa tagged in and delivered a senton to Woods for the win.

Woods was very frustrated with the loss and he started chewing out Kingston after the match. The two continued arguing all the way to the back.

Their relationship reached an all-time low as both stars started taking personal shots at each other. Woods claimed that Kofi only got the world title opportunity because of him and that he ‘pissed it all away’ in 6 seconds in the loss against Brock Lesnar.

Kingston wasn’t behind in the war of words. He said Xavier wasn’t good enough to be a world champion like him and Big E. He reminded the 38-year-old that it was Woods who extended the offer to form a group and not the other way around.

This segment comes before the announced 10-year anniversary celebration for the 12-time Tag Team Champions which WWE has set for the December 2 episode of Raw. The tag team made their official in-ring debut on November 28, 2014.

The storyline seems to be building toward the TV return of Big E. The big question is what role the former NXT Champion will play when he finally returns to the company.

United States Title Match Confirmed for WWE Survivor Series: WarGames

Fans at this weekend’s Survivor Series: WarGames PLE will see plenty of title match action when WWE comes to Winnipeg, Manitoba.

On the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, Wade Barrett shared that he had some ‘bad news’ to deliver to the WWE Universe. The Brit’s bad news was that LA Knight would defend his United States Title at Survivor Series: WarGames against Shinsuke Nakamura.

The King of Strong Style returned a few weeks ago on SmackDown by attacking Knight and has repeatedly had the upper hand on the Megastar. Knight has held the gold since SummerSlam in August, where he ended the lengthy reign of Logan Paul.

Nakamura is already a former two-time United States Champion but last held the gold in January of 2019. This week’s Raw also saw an Intercontinental Championship match confirmed for Survivor Series: WarGames.

WWE Unveils Women’s Intercontinental Championship

WWE has officially announced the new Women’s Intercontinental Championship for the Monday Night Raw roster.

The new title belt was unveiled by General Manager Adam Pearce before this week’s episode of the Red Branded show went on air. The company aired the segment during the broadcast later on.

Pearce mentioned how the Men’s IC title has been a beacon of opportunity in WWE for over 40 years and it’s been a championship held by workhorses of the business.

He then claimed that the Women’s Divison is the true workhorse of the company. Pearce went on to reveal the new title belt with the classic white strap:

This announcement comes after WWE also announced the Women’s Speed Championship and the Women’s US title in recent months.

Candice LeRae was crowned the first-ever Women’s Speed Champion after a tournament during the October 9 episode of the social media exclusive show.

A 12 women’s tournament is currently in progress to determine the first-ever Women’s US Champion with Bayley, Chelsea Green, and Michin already having advanced to the Semifinals. The final of the tournament will be taking place at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14.

Adam Pearce confirmed that a similar tournament to crown the Inaugural Women’s IC champion will begin on Raw next week. No participants have been announced for the same yet.

Intercontinental Match Announced For WWE Survivor Series: WarGames

WWE has officially announced that the Intercontinental Championship will be defended at the upcoming Survivor Series: WarGames Premium Live Event.

On this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw, Bron Breakker faced Ludwig Kaiser in a singles match. However, the bout ended in controversy when Sheamus rushed to the ring and blindsided Kaiser, causing a disqualification. The chaos escalated as Breakker joined the fray, prompting security to intervene and separate the brawling Superstars. Amid the turmoil, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce declared that Breakker would defend his Intercontinental Championship against both Kaiser and Sheamus in a Triple Threat Match at Survivor Series: WarGames.

WWE Planning To Introduce Women’s Intercontinental Title

Earlier this month, WWE launched a tournament to crown the inaugural WWE Women’s United States Champion, an exclusive title for SmackDown. Now, another major milestone is in the works for the Raw brand: the introduction of a Women’s Intercontinental Championship.

The Women’s United States Championship marks a historic addition to WWE’s main roster, becoming the first secondary women’s title alongside the previously established Women’s North American Championship in NXT. This progression highlights WWE’s commitment to expanding opportunities within the women’s division.

According to PWInsider.com, WWE plans to introduce the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, making it exclusive to Raw, mirroring the men’s title structure. While no official launch date has been announced, the move promises to bring further prestige and depth to the Raw women’s roster.

Meanwhile, the Women’s United States Championship tournament on SmackDown has progressed to the semifinals after an exciting series of opening-round triple-threat matches. The winners will face off in the finals at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14, where the first-ever champion will be crowned.

Fans eagerly await both the culmination of the tournament and further details about the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, which could mark another game-changing moment for WWE’s women’s division.

CM Punk Reflects on WWE Return Anniversary: “We’re Just Getting Started”

CM Punk is feeling grateful on the one-year anniversary of his epic return to WWE, and has promised that there’s plenty more to come. Taking to his Instagram Stories, the Chicago-Made star reflected on his return at Survivor Series: WarGames 2023 in his hometown.

“Happy one year anniversary of my rerun to WWE. Thank you to all the fans for waiting, chanting my name for years an carrying me on this journey. Thank you to my family and friends backstage for the warmth and continued support. Thank you to Paul [Levesque,] Nick [Khan] and Bruce [Prichard] for the trust and making it all happen. Love you all! We are just getting started!”

Punk’s heartfelt message was juxtaposed with an image of Seth Rollins’ volatile response to Punk’s return last year. Rollins’ response, which wasn’t shown during Punk’s return, blurred the lines of reality and kayfabe and left fans pondering whether the two had real ‘heat.’ Despite a feud being teased, the pair have yet to compete, thanks in part to both men missing periods of 2024 due to injuries.

What’s Next?

Punk’s immediate future will see him enter WarGames this weekend at Survivor Series to team with the OG Bloodline against Solo Sikoa’s faction. Punk has also spoken of challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship when the time is right, a title that’s been held by GUNTHER since SummerSlam in August. Whatever comes next, Punk is seeing a long future ahead of him in WWE, just one year after the AEW alum made his return that shocked the world.

Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens Set for WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on Dec. 14

WWE has officially announced a highly anticipated match for its upcoming event, Saturday Night’s Main Event, scheduled for December 14, 2024. Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will defend his title against Kevin Owens in what promises to be an intense showdown in light of their very personal rivalry.

The match will be streamed live on Peacock and the WWE Network, and marks a significant moment as Rhodes, who has been a fighting champion, will face Owens, a former ally.

Jerry Seinfeld Reveals How Saturday Night’s Main Event Was Linked To The Creation Of Seinfeld

The feud between the two has intensified, especially after Owens’ recent actions, including a brutal attack on Rhodes following their tag team victory at WWE Bad Blood. Rhodes previously defeated Owens at WWE Bash in Berlin back in August 2024, but this time stakes are higher as Owens aims to reclaim the championship title he has held only once before.

With both superstars known for their resilience and competitive spirit, the upcoming title match is set to be a highlight of the WWE calendar. Fans can expect an intense battle as Rhodes seeks to maintain his championship reign against a determined Owens.

CM Punk’s WWE Return: Behind The Scenes At 2023’s Iconic Moment

On this day, one year ago, CM Punk shocked the wrestling world when he returned to WWE, close to a decade after his controversial 2014 exit. Punk’s return came mere months after his similarly controversial termination from AEW but what happened behind the scenes in Chicago’s All-State Arena?

CM Punk And Triple H

It was an agreement between CM Punk and WWE CCO Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque that resulted in Punk’s stunning return. It’s therefore fitting that Punk’s first comments after returning were to the Game.

“There’s nowhere else to go. This is as high as we’re going to get them. We’ve just gotta go home.”

Punk and Levesque embraced, which set the tone for the scene backstage as Punk hugged many names backstage. Among them included Stephanie McMahon, Kofi Kingston, and fellow AEW alum William Regal and Cody Rhodes.

Punk was thrilled to get a photo with Levesque, who said that the image would “blow up the internet.” True to his word, the picture instantly went viral and currently stands at close to 15 million views on X.

Stealing Randy’s Thunder

CM Punk wasn’t the only notable return at Survivor Series: WarGames 2023, as Randy Orton made his in-ring return after being out with a back injury since May 2022. Backstage, Orton was jokingly furious that he couldn’t have ten minutes to savor his return before Punk overshadowed him. The pair joked about Punk only returning to WWE to screw over the Viper before hugging it out.

WWE Superstar Reactions

Unsurprisingly, Punk’s epic return drew a ton of reactions from the roster who had competed earlier in the night. Shotzi commented “What a way to do it!” to which Dakota Kai agreed, adding that the experience had a “weird” feeling. Bayley echoed countless members of the WWE Universe, calling Punk’s stunning return “the freaking best!”

The loudest reaction of the night came from the Chicago crowd, who got to see Punk appear one more time after the show went off the air. In the 365 days since, Punk’s momentum with the fans has yet to waver, even in the face of the injury he suffered earlier this year. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on CM Punk as he prepares to enter WarGames this weekend at Survivor Series: WarGames in Vancouver.

Jade Cargill Attack: Injury Details, Suspects, Future Plans

During the November 22, WWE SmackDown, footage revealed that Jade Cargill had been laid out in the parking lot and was left bruised and bloodied on the hood of a smashed car. The beating was so bad that Bianca Belair abandoned her Women’s U.S. Championship tournament match to check on her friend and tag-team partner. WWE would follow up after SmackDown by giving a painful update on Cargill.

Legitimately Injured

While the attack on Cargill was part of the show, the reigning WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion is actually out of action. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer has confirmed that Cargill is hurt and will be out for three months and potentially longer. WWE’s storyline injuries are mirroring Cargill’s real situation.

Who Attacked Jade Cargill?

WWE wasted no time in making the attack a whodunnit, with Nick Aldis questioning Nia Jax during the latest SmackDown about her potential involvement in what happened. The reigning WWE Women’s Champion has pointed the finger of suspicion at Naomi, who has denied that she tried to take out her ‘sis.’

Impact On WWE’s Plans

Cargill had been scheduled to compete inside WarGames at this weekend’s Survivor Series, and she has since been replaced by Bayley. The match would’ve been Cargill’s first WarGames and would’ve seen her team with Belair, Naomi, IYO SKY, and Rhea Ripley to face Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton, and Candice LeRae.

A huge question looming now is what this will mean for Jade and Belair’s tenure as Women’s Tag Team Champions. In 2023 the titles were stripped from Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan when the latter went down with an injury. However, that same year, Sonya Deville went down with an injury and Chelsea Green remained a champion after replacing her partner with Piper Niven.

Belair’s injury has also seen her be replaced in the Women’s U.S. Title Tournament. Jade had been scheduled to face Michin and Piper Niven in her first-round match.

WrestleMania Comeback?

If Cargill is off for three months, then her return window will open around late February, in the middle of the road to WrestleMania 41. WWE could build up her comeback for the two-night spectacle and give the popular star a return that fans will remember at WrestleMania for years to come, potentially against her assailant. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Cargill and details about who attacked the Women’s Tag Team Champion.

New Day 10-Year Anniversary Set for Dec. 2 WWE Raw

WWE will go all out to celebrate ten years of The New Day during the December 2, episode of WWE Monday Night Raw from the Winds Arena in Everett, WA. The show will feature a live tribute to the trio of Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods, who are WWE’s longest-running continuous stable.

In addition to the live show, fans will be able to reminisce on 10 years of The New Day with exclusive content available across WWE platforms (from Advanced Television)

  • A 10-Year Photo Gallery: Take a trip down memory lane with a photo gallery of The New Day’s evolution, featuring iconic moments, and historic championship victories.
  • The New Day’s Best Matches: Relive their most spectacular matches in a compilation on WWE’s YouTube channel.
  • Exclusive Sit-Down Interview: Hear directly via YouTube from Kofi, Xavier, and Big E as they reflect on stories from their legendary experience.

WWE RAW Schedule: Upcoming Dates and Venues

The trio’s in-ring debut as a group came on the November 28, 2014, episode of SmackDown, where they defeated Curtis Axel, Heath Slater, and Titus O’Neil. Since then, the group have seen massive success as a tag team, including a 483-day reign as Tag Team Champions. Kingston and Big E have both won the WWE Championship while Woods won the King of the Ring crown in 2021.

The New Day has shown signs of dissension this year, and with Big E still out of action, it remains to be seen what kind of tribute episode is in store for the popular faction. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on The New Day and whether Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods can finally get back on the same page.

Decoding Dominik Mysterio’s New Tattoos Honoring Lucha Libre Legends

Dominik Mysterio is no stranger to tattoos, and recently, the Judgment Day star debuted some brand new ink in homage to legends of Lucha Libre. On Instagram, Mysterio shared the new ink, featuring mask designs on his fingers.

Dominik’s father Rey Mysterio doesn’t appear on these fingers, but the new ink is a nod to several legends of wrestling. They include:

M – El Santo: One of the greatest legends in Lucha Libre, El Santo didn’t just see success in the ring, but appeared in over 50 movies from 1958 to 1982.

Y – Blue Demon: Up there with El Santo as an icon of the industry, Blue Demon never lost a Lucha de Apuestas match and retired without the public ever knowing his face.

S – Mil Mascaras: Considered by many the first international star of Lucha Libre, Mascaras was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012.

T – Rayo de Jalisco: Known for his decades with CMLL, Rayo was also final WWA World Heavyweight Champion, a title he held for five years.

E – La Parka: Not just a notable name in Lucha Libre, La Parka also competed in WCW, and is also a former MLW World Tag Team Champion.

R – Psicosis: Another WCW alum, Psicosis later joined WWE where he held the Cruiserweight Championship. He’s also worked for WCW, TNA, and AAA.

I – Konnan: Konnan’s contributions to wrestling aren’t just in the ring as he founded Lucha Lucha Underground. Konnan is also the godfather of ‘Dirty Dom.’

O – Villanos: A name shared by several masked wrestlers, Mysterio has the word ‘Villano’ tattooed behind an ear in honor of the character.

Gage Goldberg On Potential Wrestling Career, Encounter With Gunther

Gage Goldberg wants to see his dad take on Gunther after their bad Blood encounter.

The son of the former WCW Champion recently had an interview with WrestleBinge. He discussed things such as the origin of his name, whether he watches current-day wrestling, and more.

When asked if he has any plans of joining the business himself, the Colorado Buffaloes football star said that it’s more of a backup plan for him:

“I mean yes and no. For sure cuz wrestling would be cool having all the…. being amped up and everything. Having all the adrenaline, but then also like I know my place right now is with football.

So I’m going to live this out and see where that takes me. If it doesn’t work out, could be wrestling. Don’t know. It’s a backup plan.”

Gage was also asked about attending the Bad Blood PPV in Atlanta with his dad and the encounter with Gunther. The 18-year-old said that he kind of wants to see his dad fighting the Ring General now:

“I mean when he first came out, I wasn’t expecting anything. Then he started saying all that. Then I’m like ‘okay.’ I started whispering to my dad, I’m like ‘You might want to get in there and kick his ass’ or something like that.

But he got out there. He showed his presence for sure too. It was just like; I was like why are you calling him out? I don’t really know. I kind of want to see my dad kick his ass now.”

Bill Goldberg has announced that he’ll be having his retirement match in 2025. While an opponent and a date has not been revealed for his final match, it seems very likely that we’ll see him fighting Gunther during the WrestleMania season or at the next Saudi show in May.

Ludwig Kaiser Surprises Fans With wXw Return, Confronts Champion

WWE Superstar Ludwig Kaiser shocked fans with his unannounced return to wXw, and teased something with one of the promotion’s top stars. Kaiser appeared at wXw Broken Rules on November 23, in his first appearance for the legendary German wrestling promotion since 2019.

Kaiser wrestled as Axel Deiter Jr. during his wXw, and the fans in attendance gave the Imperium member a hero’s welcome. During his return, Kaiser confronted wXw Unified World Wrestling Champion Peter Tihanyi, exciting fans at the prospect of a match with the champion and more involvement with wXw.

Kaiser’s surprise appearance at wXw Broken Rules highlights WWE’s newfound willingness to work with other promotions in 2024. WWE has forged partnerships with Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport, Pro Wrestling NOAH, Marigold, and TNA Wrestling, which was once WWE’s most direct competition in the United States.

Back in WWE, Kaiser has been showing new-found aggression on TV, interestingly at a time when GUNTHER has shown some doubts ever since his loss at WWE Crown Jewel. On the latest episode of WWE Raw, Kaiser interfered in the Intercontinental title match, keeping Sheamus from winning the one title he’s yet to hold in WWE. The attack could see Kaiser put into the IC title picture which is being dominated by Champion Bron Breakker.

Ludwig Kaiser Struggled To Breathe After Wrestling Bron Breakker

Whether fans see more from Kaiser in wXw, or if this was just a one-off, the German Superstar delighted the fans with his appearance and confrontation with Tihanyi. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Ludwig Kaiser and his work in WWE, as well as any future appearances outside the Sports Entertainment juggernaut.

Baron Corbin Wins Gold Medal At International Jiu-Jitsu Tournament

Baron Corbin has earned a gold medal of his own in Jiu Jitsu.

Real name Thomas Pestock, the former WWE star competed in the IBJJF Tampa International Open 2024. He participated in the Master 2 Ultra Heavy division first earlier in the day but failed to win the gold medal. Corbin defeated Bradley Curtis in the semifinal before being defeated himself by Franck Alphonse.

The former US Champion didn’t ponder over his loss for too long, however, and he entered the Master 2 Open division later in the day.

Pestock was successful in his quest this time. He first defeated Fi Li and Bradley Curtis in the semifinals. The wrestling veteran then bested his teammate Diogo Rodrigues Ponciano Freitas to finally win the gold medal:

Baron Corbin trains at the Rudos BJJ in Florida. This isn’t his first medal in the sport as he previously also won gold at the Jiu Jitsu World League back in December 2023.

The former champion famously faced Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle in the latter’s final pro wrestling match at WrestleMania 35 which Corbin won.

When WWE let go Corbin by not renewing his contract earlier this month, Angle vented his frustrations over the company wasting the talent he put over in his retirement match.
