⚑ The Squash · Thursday, August 13, 2026
  1. Powell’s hitting everything this weekβ€”Impact, ROH, Raw grades, Smackdown gradesβ€”and if you’re not reading his recaps by now you’re just guessing at what happened. ProWrestling.net β†’
  2. The Bellas cryptic-posting about walking away is either a retirement announcement in slow motion or just two people who’ve figured out they don’t need this anymore. Ringside News β†’
  3. Jordynne Grace spamming 1-ratings on Cagematch like a spurned ex is the most petty thing I’ve heard all week and I respect it completely. Ringside News β†’
  4. AEW’s betting the farm on London and it better deliver or that “most important PPV ever” headline ages about as well as a three-day-old sandwich. WrestleTalk β†’
  5. Amazing Red remembering when CM Punk was desperate enough to impress WWE brass in a dark match tells you everything you need to know about how far Punk’s come since 2005. F4W Online β†’
