LEAD STORY CONTEXTWEDNESDAY'S WRESTLING CONVERSATION

THE SQUASH · SEPTEMBER 9, 2026 NO FILLER. FIVE TAKES.

⚡ The Squash · Wednesday, September 9, 2026

Ethan Page’s right—WWE’s locker room is safer now, which is both progress and an indictment of how badly things used to be. Fightful →
Tessa Blanchard cutting through the entitlement nonsense: your last name gets you in the door, your work keeps the light on. Wrestling Headlines →
Page talking about goals beyond the World Title is either refreshingly honest or code for “I’m not getting one anytime soon.” F4W Online →
Nick Khan declaring WWE has the best creative while half the roster treads water is the kind of confidence only comes from monopoly money. NoDQ →
ROH taped another show, which means somewhere a regional audience is getting content, and that’s fine I guess. Diva Dirt →
