  • Variety reports that the AAA Noche de los Grandes event that featured the mask vs. mask match drew over 2 million viewers on YouTube.
  • Ernesto Ocampo noted that it was Pete Dunne who produced the El Grande Americano vs. Original El Grande Americano mask match.
  • Bronson Reed shared on social media that he was in a rear collision today: “Just had a rear collision. Thankfully everyone is okay. But, PEOPLE! STOP DRIVING ON YOUR D*** PHONES!!! PAY ATTENTION. PEOPLE HAVE KIDS IN THEIR CARS!”
  • In an interview with IGN, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick talked about the recent success of WWE 2K26 and improvements the series could make in the future: “I do think there’s ongoing opportunities to improve the quality of the game. I do think that we can give consumers more of what they want. And I know our team at Visual Concepts always wants to do better. We’re never in the business of patting ourselves on the back. We believe that arrogance is the enemy of continued success. And I think that title could be double or triple the size that it is as long as we delight consumers, and as long as we give them something new and not expected that’s consistent with the brand that they love. That’s our job.”
  • Triple H wrote about road crew member Davey Coates’ son Henry joining the company: “Some months ago, the @WWE lost one of its beloved crew members. This week marked our first international tour without Davey and the first with his son Henry in “his seat.” I saw Henry when I arrived at #WWEClash and was greeted in the same way his dad hundreds of times before. On what would have been his 64th birthday, I’m thinking of Davey, Henry, and their entire family. I’m grateful to work with all the unbelievably talented men and women who make our company what it is – and who deliver each and every night, in every city around the globe.”
