#5. Lyra Valkyria discussed whether she has any regrets in her WWE career

During a recent interview with The Toronto Sun, Lyra Valkyria talked about her WWE career so far. The star said she didn’t have any regrets in her career, highlighting that she had already competed at two WrestleManias.

Valkyria also mentioned that she feels like she was in NXT just yesterday, and everything in her career has happened faster than she expected. She added that she was grateful for all the opportunities, and wanted to enjoy this “roller coaster” as she didn’t know at what stage she would be in her career in the next six months.

“I have absolutely no regrets at all. I feel like everything has put me exactly where I am now. So just even looking back at the journey, God, I’ve done two WrestleManias now. It feels like I was in NXT yesterday, and it feels like I was taking my first bumps in Bray, Ireland, the day before that. So I don’t know, it all happened so fast, and it goes by in the blink of an eye. So I’m really just kind of grateful and excited and happy with where I’m at, and especially with how fast everything has happened so far. I have no idea where it means we might be in six months, in a year, you know? So it’s kind of just trying to hold on to the roller coaster as long as I can,” said Lyra Valkyria.

#4. Former WWE star Dijak explained why Oba Femi has become a star

Since getting called up to the main roster, Oba Femi’s booking has been incredible. The biggest highlight of his career so far came when he surprisingly defeated Brock Lesnar in a one-on-one match at WrestleMania 42. Many believe The Ruler will become a world champion soon.

After an X user highlighted that Oba Femi had a terrible win/loss record in NXT LVL Up, Dijak replied to the post, writing about Femi’s rise in the Stamford-based promotion.

The former WWE star mentioned that the company often “quietly” tests talent to see whether they have an attitude problem. He added that the promotion does this to stars whom they want to push. Dijak also mentioned that he had never heard anything negative about The Ruler during the latter’s time in LVL Up, which was the main reason for his rise to stardom.

“I don’t even know if this is true or not, but it wouldn’t surprise me. WWE will often quietly test wrestlers to see if they have an attitude problem, especially if they have big plans in store. Oba obviously passed with flying colors, I never heard anything even remotely negative, and he was a pleasure to work with.”

#3. Paige dropped a major teaser

Paige returned to WWE with a bang at WrestleMania 42. The former Divas Champion replaced Nikki Bella at the event to team up with Brie Bella against Nia Jax & Lash Legend, Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss, and Bayley & Lyra Valkyria in a Fatal Four Way Tag Team Match for the Women’s Tag Team Championship. The real-life Saraya ended up winning the gold alongside Brie.

However, many fans have noticed that Paige hasn’t used her PTO (Paige Tap Out) submission move since her return to the Stamford-based promotion. Some fans highlighted this on X, which caught the star’s attention, and she replied to them. The former Divas Champion sent a one-word message, dropping a major teaser of PTO’s return.

“Soon 😏,” she wrote.

Check out her post below:

It remains to be seen when Paige will bring back the submission move on WWE TV.

#2. Charlotte Flair addressed her wardrobe mishap

On the May 15, 2026, edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Charlotte Flair teamed up with Alexa Bliss to lock horns with Michin and B-Fab. All of the stars involved in the bout put on an incredible display of action inside the ring.

At one point in the match, B-Fab tried to roll up The Queen for a pinfall, but ended up grabbing and pulling down Flair’s tights. This was an unfortunate wardrobe mishap on live TV.

Now, Charlotte Flair has taken to her Instagram Stories to react to the wardrobe malfunction. The 14-time World Champion posted a screenshot of the segment and sent a hilarious message to B-Fab.

“@briana_brandy mam… You could’ve just asked [laughing emoji],” she wrote.

#1. 3-time WWE Women’s Champion officially announced her retirement

Ronda Rousey is one of the biggest names in the world of MMA. She has also made a name for herself in pro wrestling, especially in WWE, where she won the SmackDown Women’s Championship twice and the RAW Women’s Championship once.

After a brief hiatus, Rousey finally decided to return to the world of MMA this year. The star faced Gina Carano on May 16, 2026, in Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions. Ahead of this much-anticipated clash, The Baddest Woman on the Planet gave an interview to Ariel Helwani during the ceremonial weigh-in. Helwani asked Ronda whether she would return to the ring again after her fight against Carano.

Rousey straight-up told him her life plans, revealing that she wants to give birth to more babies. With this statement, the 3-time WWE Women’s Champion has officially confirmed her retirement from Mixed Martial Arts.

“I’m having some babies after this. I’m busy the night after the fight,” she said.

Ronda Rousey hasn’t missed a step in the ring as she defeated Gina Carano within 17 seconds. It remains to be seen whether Rousey will ever return to the world of professional wrestling in the future after her incredible performance in her possible last MMA fight.
