Enjoy this episode of Wednesday Night Don-O-Mite recorded 10/21/2026. Running Time: 58 Minutes. Synopsis posted below.
Lots of wrestling news and discussion this week including:
- AUDIO: Syko Stu opens up about severe brain trauma and permanent injuries suffered in the Raja Jackson attack: “I had to relearn how to walk.”
- Ilja Dragunov talks to Ariel Helwani about his WWE exit, turning down WWE contract extension, signing with AEW, his controversial Royal Rumble spot with Brock Lesnar and credited longtime rival Gunther as his greatest career inspiration.
- Two photos of The Rock go viral: One is an AI image showing an anemic Rock with visible arm atrophy; the other a real image of his transformation into a 70-year-old man on the set of Lizard Music. Guess which one wrestling media ran with?
- Like Father, Like Former Son-In-Law: Ric Flair calls Tony Khan “The Greatest Promoter Of All Time,” while Andrade claims he “left WWE to go back to AEW.” DT highly recommends both interviews—even if the claims are borderline ridiculous comedy.
- Dragon Lee lands a multi-year WWE contract extension (no pay cut here!) that keeps him locked in for the foreseeable future.
- TNA re-signs Santino Marella to a new contract—but for how long?
- Florida Court rejects the “Stand Your Ground” defense filed by Marcel Barthel (Ludwig Kaiser / El Grande Americano) in his ongoing assault case.
- Maryland Judge denies WWE, TKO, and Vince & Linda McMahon’s motion to dismiss the “Ring Boys” child abuse lawsuit.
- This Week in Ratings: Full breakdowns for WWE Raw, SmackDown, NXT, AEW Dynamite, Collision, and TNA Impact.
- Following her WWE release, Airica Demia announces she is stepping away from pro wrestling.
- The Semifinals are set for the 2026 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.
- And much more!
