WWE
has announced a big weekend of wrestling events in Atlanta on July 12 and 13. The company will hold three shows in two days, including the return of the all-women's event Evolution and a major NXT event that will happen at the same time as AEW's All In Texas show.
Fans will have a lot of exciting action to enjoy across both days.
This special weekend from WWE comes during the same time AEW is planning its yearly All In stadium show in Arlington, Texas. WWE has clearly timed these shows to offer a strong option for wrestling fans who might otherwise tune in to AEW. NXT's Great American Bash will take place first on Saturday afternoon, followed by Saturday Night's Main Event later in the evening.
The final event will be Evolution on Sunday night.
NXT Great American Bash
to compete with AEW All In
WWE has now confirmed that the NXT Great American Bash will happen on Saturday afternoon, July 12. It will take place at Center Stage Theater in Atlanta. This location is special because it was once the home of WCW Saturday Night. The event will go live in the afternoon, around the same time AEW's All In starts at 3 p.m. ET.
'An exact start time still isn't listed for the Bash,' the press release explained, 'but the press release today (May 27) does make it clear the show will be in the afternoon before SNME.'

R-Truth Released By WWE! Rhea Ripley, Kevin Owens, Big E & Jinder Mahal Shocked
Last Updated: The popular wrestler confirmed he has been released by the World Wrestling Entertainment after a glorious 17-year run. The wrestling world stands in shock after Ron Killings – famously known by his ring name R-Truth – was released by World Wrestling Entertainment on Sunday, June 1. The veteran wrestler announced his emotional departure from the WWE scene after an incredible 17-year run with the company. R-Truth confirmed his adieu via a statement on social media and expressed gratitude towards fans for their unwavering support. 'I want to thank WWE for the ride, but MOSTLY I want to thank each and EVERYONE OF YOU who was along for the ride," he posted. 'Thank you for all the love, support, and appreciation you have given me over the years." Im sorry to inform you all. I just got released from WWE. I want to thank WWE for the ride, but MOSTLY I want to thank each and EVERYONE OF YOU who was along for the ride, Thank you for all the love, support, and appreciation you have given me over the years. Thank you 🙏🏾— Ron Killings (@RonKillings) June 1, 2025 R-Truth's release from WWE stunned his supporters. It also garnered reactions from the wrestling universe with tributes pouring in from all corners, including Rhea Ripley, Kevin Owens and Big E who hailed the 53-year-old for his successful career and his spirit on and off the wrestling ring. I've said many times that there are a few people in this industry for whom I have unlimited respect, love and admiration for. @RonKillings is at the very top of that list. An incredible, timeless performer with an unmatched ability to entertain and bring a smile to anyone he… — Kevin (@FightOwensFight) June 1, 2025 In all seriousness, this is literally so heartbreaking… Thank you Truth 🖤— RheaRipley_WWE (@RheaRipley_WWE) June 1, 2025 I hate this so much— Trinity (@TheTrinity_Fatu) June 1, 2025 You're an amazing talent and an even better person. Go enjoy your life unc!— Ricochet (@KingRicochet) June 1, 2025 Thank you Truth. For everything. Everything you are as a performer but also everything you are as a person. You always have an ear and a hug for everyone, you were always so kind to me whether it was an extra just coming in looking to you for advice or as a co-worker getting to…— ZV (@ZelinaVegaWWE) June 1, 2025 🙏🙏 thank you for everything, brother. I'm sure I'll see you soon.— The Maharaja (@RajTheMaharaja) June 1, 2025 Thank you!!! ♥️♥️♥️— Jade Cargill (@Jade_Cargill) June 1, 2025 According to WWE Insider Sean Ross Sapp, R-Truth was not officially released by the company but a mutual decision has been made between the two parties not to renew the wrestler's contract. A report by Uncrowned further suggested Ron Killings had decided not to extend his association, offering a clear distinction on the nature of his departure amidst speculations of a rift leading to an abrupt ending. A clash with JC Mateo at last Friday's SmackDown will be remembered as R-Truth's WWE swansong, marking his final ring appearance for the company. The stalwart also recently fought against WWE legend John Cena during Saturday Night's Main Event on May 25, a match that would now be counted as part of a befitting send-off. R-Truth joined World Wrestling Entertainment in 1999 for an initial stint that lasted two years. The wrestler found notable success outside, winning the world championship gold in NWA while also enjoying his time in TNA. But it was upon his return to the WWE scene in 2007 that he bagged his most memorable achievements. R-Truth won the United States Championship twice and won Tag-Team titles with Kofi Kingston and the Miz. Maximising his character, whose comic timing and charisma made waves, WWE even introduced a 24/7 Championship. R Truth holds the record for winning this belt 54 times during his career.

Rey Mysterio details double injury setback before WrestleMania 41
Image via WWE WWE legend Rey Mysterio has opened up about a pair of injuries that kept him out of action during WrestleMania 41, shedding light on his sudden removal from a planned singles match against El Grande Americano. The high-flying veteran was originally slated to face the masked alter ego of Chad Gable at the marquee event. However, on the final episode of SmackDown before WrestleMania, Mysterio suffered a torn groin and was pulled from the card. Speaking to Jim Varsallone in a recent interview, the WWE Hall of Famer revealed that he was also dealing with a busted eardrum at the time. Rey Mysterio keeps the heat on 'I'm actually still recovering from the injury I suffered just before WrestleMania - a torn groin and a busted eardrum. But I still love what I do,' said Mysterio, who was recently honored with the Legend Impact Award at the National Hispanic Media Coalition's Impact Gala. Rey Mysterio, Brenda Victoria Castillo talk National Hispanic MC Legend Impact Award, WWE, AAA, Dom The 49-year-old was replaced by Rey Fenix in the WrestleMania bout, where the babyface team - also featuring Dragon Lee. emerged victorious over American Made. Despite being sidelined, Mysterio's interview has kept him in the headlines, thanks to a light-hearted jab aimed at his on-screen son, Dominik Mysterio. While the injuries sidelined him physically, Mysterio remained sharp on the mic. During a rapid-fire segment in the same interview, he was asked if Dominik could ever surpass his legacy in AAA Wrestling. Without missing a beat, Rey leaned into their long-running WWE storyline: 'Dirty Dom? Dirty Dom needs a spanking with a chancla and a belt.' The culturally resonant quip, referencing a common Latino disciplinary tool, drew laughter from the hosts but also sent a clear message - the family feud is far from over. WWE x AAA: Could the rivalry spill into 'Worlds Collide'? The timing of Mysterio's comment is interesting, especially in the context of WWE's recent acquisition of AAA Wrestling, a historic move that opens doors for crossover rivalries and fresh storylines. The upcoming WWE x AAA: Worlds Collide event is being promoted as a celebration of global wrestling styles and legacies, with both Rey and Dominik Mysterio prominently featured in the early marketing campaigns. Dom Mysterio talks WWE Tampa Takeover, IC Win, Attitude Era, Judgment Day, Carlito, AAA, Omos, Miami Although Rey has not disclosed whether he'll be wrestling or appearing in a different capacity, fans are already speculating that the father-son feud could take center stage at the international showcase. Rey's deep roots in lucha libre and Dominik's current run as Intercontinental Champion present a compelling contrast, offering creative opportunities for a legacy vs. rebellion narrative to unfold on a bigger stage. Dominik, now firmly entrenched in his heel persona as part of The Judgment Day, has not shied away from provocation. In a separate interview, he boldly claimed to have already eclipsed his father's legacy in WWE and expressed a desire to 'sh** all over Rey Mysterio' in AAA as well. The comment raised eyebrows and further fueled fan interest in a possible in-ring confrontation. For now, both stars remain on separate paths - but in the world of professional wrestling, it often takes just one moment to bring everything crashing back together. Fans will be watching closely to see whether that moment arrives at Worlds Collide.
