⚑ The Squash · Tuesday, August 11, 2026
  1. Nikki Cross buying Progress Wrestling with her husband is the best use of a WWE release since, well, anyone actually got to do something with their time. eWrestlingNews β†’
  2. WWE blindsiding Cross after a decade proves they still don’t understand that shocking releases aren’t plot twistsβ€”they’re just bad business. Ringside News β†’
  3. Bischoff saying Roman bores him is the most honest thing anyone’s said about WWE television in months, and he shouldn’t apologize for telling the truth. Ringside News β†’
  4. Will Ospreay beating Swerve at Forbidden Door was the right call, but leaving Strickland scrambling for All In London feels like AEW punted on the real main event. WrestleTalk β†’
  5. Bayley’s name floating in AEW gossip is what happens when WWE books your best matches against people nobody cares about. NoDQ β†’
