WWE News! WWE Locker Room Reacts to AEW Stars Jumping Ship! WWE Star Retires! AJ Styles Insulted

Описание: The conversation around roster movement continues to heat up as WWE and AEW remain closely linked in today’s wrestling landscape. While tensions between the two companies may have cooled compared to previous years, questions are already being raised about how WWE’s locker room truly feels about AEW talent jumping ship.
During a recent Fightful Select Q&A, Sean Ross Sapp addressed concerns about whether WWE superstars are worried about losing their spots to incoming former AEW names—specifically Powerhouse Hobbs, who is expected to arrive soon. Sapp noted that while the volume of AEW-to-WWE signings has not matched the wave of former WWE stars entering AEW during 2021 and 2022, the internal mood is still worth watching.
According to Sapp, there have been no direct complaints from WWE talent so far. However, he also acknowledged that the situation could change depending on how Hobbs is introduced—especially if he debuts directly on the main roster rather than going through NXT. That possibility could quietly create friction among talent who spent years working through WWE’s developmental system before earning their opportunities.
Sapp explained that while roster jealousy exists in every promotion, fast-tracking a new arrival can amplify tensions if not handled carefully. WWE’s history with incoming talent from rival promotions has produced mixed results, making Hobbs’ debut a potential test case for how locker room dynamics are managed moving forward.
Meanwhile, another major talking point surrounds AJ Styles, whose highly anticipated return to TNA Wrestling on AMC drew massive reactions—but also unexpected criticism. On the 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff questioned the presentation of Styles’ return, suggesting the moment lost impact by being overly telegraphed.
Bischoff pointed out that revealing Styles’ entrance graphic well before he appeared reduced the element of surprise, ultimately dulling the crowd’s anticipation. While he understood the business reasoning behind advertising the appearance—especially for TNA’s debut on a new network—he felt execution mattered just as much as promotion.
Bischoff also addressed the crowd reaction to Dixie Carter, noting that the response sounded far more negative than expected and expressing sympathy for her in that moment.
Adding to the emotional weight of the week, longtime veteran Johnny Curtis—known to fans as Fandango and Dirty Dango—officially wrestled his final match at Genesis, closing the book on a remarkable 27-year career. Curtis personally selected Eddie Edwards as his final opponent, making the bout a full-circle moment rooted in shared history and respect.
With locker room reactions, high-profile returns, and career-ending moments all colliding, WWE and the wider wrestling world find themselves at another fascinating crossroads.
Do you think Powerhouse Hobbs deserves a fast-track push in WWE? Was AJ Styles’ TNA return handled the right way? And what legacy does Johnny Curtis leave behind? Share your thoughts in the comments.
