Bayley is a name that has been mentioned as a possible replacement for Shawn Michaels in NXT.

To catch everyone up, Michaels will be replacing Burce Pritchard’s spot as WWE’s Executive Director according to PWInsider. “We are told that this succession plan has been in place for some time and that Michaels will start to prepare for the Prichard role in the months ahead.”

Per Wrestling Observer, AJ Styles will be getting his role as a most likely scenario. However, Bayley and CM Punk are also in talks to have input and help out with NXT.

“As of right now, it looks like Shawn Michaels replacing Bruce Prichard and AJ Styles getting his NXT role is the most likely scenario.

It is believed there will be other NXT office changes in 2027 as well. Depending on what she wants to do with her career, Bayley could very well end up involved. Punk may also have more input.

It is also believed the ID program will get ‘a fresh coat of paint’ in early 2027 as well.”

False Finish adds this could take place sooner rather than later.

Tonight on TNA Impact, the TNA Knockouts TV Championship is on the line as M By Elegance defends against “The Spark” Jada Stone.

Stone starts it quick from the get-go, but M catches Stone and attempts to shut it down early. M accidently kicks Mr. Elegance as she gets sent out of the ring, meanwhile Stone hits a dive through the ropes.

M fights back by dumping Stone onto the floor. The TV Champ has Stone grounded, as Stone tries to fight back using her agility.

Stone hits the Spark Stunner on M, but M rolls out of the ring to escape. Mr. Elegance eats a moonsault by Stone and Heather By Elegance gets hit in the back. Stone hits a Spanish Fly and is about to put M away, but Heather comes in to bother the referee.

Mr. Elegance says he quits and Stone tries to surprise M with a rollup. M counters and piledrives Stone into the canvas to retain her title.

Elayna Black confronts Heather backstage and gets into her head about how M is treating her as of late. Black still wants the TV title, but feels that Heather wants it too.

Next, we get a glimpse of the TNA Knockouts World Champion, Indi Hartwell. Her Knockouts title win took many days, but is grateful for the journey.

But, one-half of the TNA Knockouts World Champions, Shayna Baszler, wants to challenge Hartwell for the world title at Destination X. Meanwhile, Zoey Serrano wants to pick a fight with the TNA employees. 

The Righteous are done waiting for Harley Hudson’s answer and invites her next week to stand beside them.

After Daria Rae’s suspension, the TNA Board of Directors has hired Brian Johnson to observe her. After all the trouble she has caused, the board has made it clear to her that she is under surveillance.

Fire ‘N Flava is back in full effect and they have a message for Allie and Shotzi Blackheart. Kiera Hogan is happy that she has an upgrade of a partner, meanwhile Tasha Steelz is ready to pick a fight.

What did you think of tonight’s TNA Impact? Is Mr. Elegance gone for good? Can Baszler take the gold come Destination X? How do Allie and Blackheart respond? Let us know in the comments below!

Toni Storm is one of AEW’s top stars and is a former four-time AEW Women’s World Champion. Her last match took place at AEW’s Revolution pay-per-view back March. She defeated Marina Shafir.

Since then she has been away from AEW programming. She was written off after an attack was done to her by an unknown assailant in her dressing room.

Fightful Select reports, “At AEW WrestleDream, some media members in attendance found planted cassette tapes to start teasing the return of Timeless Toni Storm, as posted by @astridpizarro. Those that @FightfulSelect spoke to in AEW say that Storm’s in-ring return isn’t imminent, but there could be other elements involving her that get worked in.”

Tonight on this spooky Fright Night edition of AEW Dynamite, the TBS Championship is on the line as Persephone defends her title against Queen Aminata in the main event.

Aminata earned her opportunity last week by defeating Maya World and is confident she’s taking that title away from her. Persephone and Britt Baker feel like they don’t have to worry, as her “Dos Straps” are proof enough.

But first, Marina Shafir is in action tonight against Rachel Armstrong. Unfortunately for Armstrong, she gets thrown around and fed some Mother’s Milk for her pleasure.

Shafir calls out the AEW Women’s World Champion, Mercedes Moné, and tells her to come out and not be a “pussy.” Big D Moné says she’s got more balls than all The Death Riders and slaps the taste out of Shafir’s mouth. Shafir asks for more and tries to go for the knockout shot. Chaos ensues as Jon Moxley gets attacked, and Moné runs for the hills.

Our main event commences, and Aminata is ready to ride off her momentum and aim for the spotlight, per Renee Paquette.

The two lockup and Aminata givess away some chocolate kisses early this Halloween weekend. Baker as Ms. Trunchbull from “Matilda,” distracts Aminata for Persephone to take advantage. 

Aminata finds her comeback by landing a twisting neckbreaker on Persephone, followed by a diving foot stomp, only for a two-count. Persephone hits a spear, and tries to remove Aminata’s taping from her neck. She hits a German suplex and Aminata survives it despite landing hard on the exposed area.

Persephone hits a lionsault, but Aminata gets her knees up as Persephone retreats. Aminata seats Persephone on the steel chair, and hits her signature dropkick from the apron. The referee checks on Persephone, and Baker hits Aminata in the skull with the TBS title.

The moonsault from Persephone connects, but Aminata miraculously kicks out. Aminata hits Persephone with a hard headbutt, and takes off Persephone’s head to become the new TBS Champion. The rest of the AEW women’s locker room comes out to celebrate her first title win in AEW.

What did you think of tonight’s Fright Night Dynamite? What did you think of Aminata’s title victory? Let us know in the comments below!

Stephanie Vaquer had a minor injury at Money in the Bank earlier this month. This left her on crutches for a couple of weeks. She was originally cleared to compete this Monday for Raw and was expected to face Becky Lynch in a number one contender match.

Just hours before Raw started, Vaquer was deemed to be not cleared. The match instead saw Liv Morgan successfully defend the Women’s World Title against Lynch. So what has happened with Vaquer?

Per PWInsider –

Stephanie Vaquer was not in attendance at RAW last night.

Vaquer is not currently medically cleared to perform (which is what WWE stated yesterday), but the issue is believed to be illness-related, as opposed to some sort of injury.

“We have not heard a timetable for her expected return to action.”

Per False Finish, the confirmed PWInsider’s report, adding that Vaquer will be out “indefinitely.”

Chantel Monroe made her singles debut this week on NXT. She went against Lizzy Rain, but her win was controversial.

Rain held the offense to her opponent, but Monroe matched this with a number of neckbreakers. The final moments saw Rain going for a quick rollup when Monroe suddenly flipped her hips, grabbed the ropes, and pinned her to the mat.

Elsewhere on NXT, Zaria’s anger boils over at Izzi Dame ahead of Halloween Havoc this Saturday. This Saturday, Zaria has agreed to put the NXT Women’s North American Title on the line. But Dame doesn’t want the title she says.

In a taped moment from the NXT Women’s Champion Kelani Jordan appearing in the Raw crowd this week, she had a run in with IYO SKY.

In the backstage segment, SKY says Jordan is different now. Jordan agreed and says she is tired of being ealked all over and once she gets called up, she will be walking all over the Raw roster – including SKY.

This week’s episode of Raw certainly highlighted the women of its roster. Three women’s matches took place, with one being changed due to Stephanie Vaquer not being cleared to compete.

Heading into this week’s show, it was originally planned for Vaquer to take on Becky Lynch (again) to determine the number one contender (again) to Liv Morgan’s Women’s World Title. However, just hours before showtime, WWE confirmed Vaquer wasn’t cleared as thought. So the match was then turned into Morgan defending her title against Lynch, in the main event.

Before we get to that, two other women’s matches took place.

First, Bayley final got a win over Valkyria in the third match of their feud that has been heavily played out since June. With Valkyria taking the first two match wins and at the same time sidelining Bayley for two months after their first encounter, Bayley decided the rivalry would be over when she says so. So she decided on a No Disqualification bout.

The two women certainly put each other through hell during the match. Valkyria went through two tables which Bayley quite happily made happen. The first was a baseball slide to Valkyria with a table set up against the announce desk. The second came late in the match before the finish as Bayley went up top for a risky elbow drop.

The final moments had both women back in the ring after the second table bump. Valkyria went right for a kendo stick, but Bayley stopped her and used the stick to lock in the Bank Statement (crossface) to get the submission victory.

Bayley stood tall over Valkyria at the end of the match.

Moving onto the Women’s IC Title scene, IYO SKY had to, for some reason, prove that she deserved a title shot against current champion Raquel Rodriguez.

SKY would go on to defeat Rodriguez. This puts her in the spot for a championship match. In the closing moments of this bout, Rodriguez went for a Tejana Bomb but SKY countered and rolled through to get her pinned.

As SKY escaped the ring, Roxanne Perez emerged and attacked SKY from behind. Back in the ring, SKY was taken out by Perez and Rodriguez.

In the main event Lynch took on Morgan for the Women’s World Title as mentioned earlier. The match was worthy of the main event spot, however, thanks to Judgment Day – – it ended in a DQ. Perez and Rodriguez made their way out to the ring, and at first, Lynch disposed of them on the outside. However, back in the ring, Lynch caught Morgan in an ObLIVion attempt and turned it into a ManHandle Slam. Just as the referee was likely to count three for Lynch to win the title, Perez and Rodriguez rushed in the ring to stop the count, causing the end of the match.

The WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green, who will be taking on Morgan at Crown Jewel, rushed down to the ring to help Lynch. However, the numbers were still too much until IYO SKY joined for help.

Eventually, Morgan was laid out in the middle of the ring as the rest of the women were all laid out on the outside. Tiffany Stratton’s music hit and she raced down to the ring with referee in tow and the MITB briefcase in hand. She landed the PME onto Morgan and went to go cash in the briefcase. Morgan was able to escape before this happened.
