Anita Vaughan Reflects On Will Ospreay's Pedigree on ‘Triple H' Going Viral
Once upon a time in the Multiverse Rumble, Will Ospreay nailed Triple H Anita Vaughan with the Pedigree. Luckily, Vaughan has lived to tell the tale with WrestleZone.
On February 7, Pro-Wrestling EVE hosted its Multiverse Rumble event from London, England, with over a dozen competitors in the rumble match. For this particular bout, competitors dressed up as and paid homage to figures in both wrestling and pop culture. In Vaughan's case, she parodied WWE Hall of Famer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque, fake beard and all. This decision later came back to haunt Vaughan, however, as EVE producer and AEW star Will Ospreay flipped the bird and laid her out with a Pedigree, Triple H's iconic finishing move.

Clips of this scene have since gone viral across social media, revealing that Ospreay suffered instant karma by being eliminated by Rayne Leverkusen, dressed as Shane McMahon, right after.
'That spot was a lot of fun,' Vaughan told WrestleZone. 'The Multiverse Rumble is just that, it's just meant to be fun. Will obviously helps producing the shows and he plays such a big part. It's unbelievable to have someone like Will Ospreay backstage and helping out and everything he does with Eve as well, how he platforms it, how he supports it. Of course, he gets to be a part of the product as well in sometimes the most fun ways I've ever been involved in wrestling.'
Vaughan Explains Pedigree Backstory
How did this spot come together? According to Vaughan, who now reigns as the EVE International Champion, they planted the seeds for it a while ago.

'Before [my tag partner] Debbie Keitel went to Japan, I remember we had [an idea of] like 'Oh maybe we can do DX or something.' She could be Shawn Michaels. I could be Triple H. I was like 'That would be really sick.' Then I just couldn't get it out of my head that I could be Triple H. I've done jokes and stuff with people backstage where like I'm Triple H. We'll do like the water take and stuff. It almost was a private joke coming into real life in the ring. Then you just add the layer of Will Ospreay hitting Triple H a pedigree. It was really sick.
'I've never hit so many Triple H moves in my life in that time,' Vaughan added. 'I found out I can do a decent spine buster, so now it's part of my moveset. I hit many a pedigree and I took my first ever pedigree from Will Ospreay, so that's a part of history now. '

Bully Ray Wants John Cena To Take Credit For R-Truth Getting Fired By WWE
Bully Ray wants John Cena to take credit for R-Truth getting fired by WWE. The pro wrestling world is struggling to get over Truth's departure from WWE. Truth (aka Ron Killings) announced his exit from the company this past weekend, revealing the company was not going to renew his contract. Advertisement The announcement triggered a wave of reaction on social media, with fans and peers expressing their shock and disappointment. John Cena, whom Truth faced in what turned out to be his send-off match, also reacted to the high-profile release. During a recent episode of Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray pitched a notorious angle involving John Cena, noting it could give credibility to Cena's attempt to ruin wrestling for everyone. Bully Ray's pitch involves The Rock as well 'At the press conference a couple of weeks ago, before Cena put truth through the table, he said, you know, 'Ron, I've never liked you,' Bully said. 'If this whole true thing is legit and he's getting [let go] and they're not renewing his contract, or as he says, released. I put John Cena on TV with a microphone in his hand and I say, and he says I never liked Ron Killings. Advertisement ''Ron Killings was released because of me. I'm ruining it. I said I was going to ruin wrestling. I'm ruining it for you fans. You loved this guy. I know you love this guy. I called The Rock. The Rock released Ron Killings. End of story. You want you got a problem with it? Write a letter.' For those unaware, John Cena turned heel and aligned with The Rock at Elimination Chamber 2025. The pair, alongside Travis Scott, destroyed Cody Rhodes at the PLE. While The Fina Boss didn't appear at WrestleMania, Cena did defeat Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship after Scott's interfered to cause a distraction for the American Nightmare.

Natalya Attacks Heckling Fan After NWA Debut
Natalya wasn't having any of it. Natalya made her NWA in-ring debut at the 2025 NWA Crockett Cup in Philadelphia against Kenzie Paige. After the match, Natalya got involved in a scuffle with a fan that resulted in her hitting him in the face. Advertisement As seen in the clip posted online by MuscleManMalcolm, Nattie approached a man in a pink shirt sitting ringside. She slaps him in the head and he went down to the ground, and she reached over the barricade and took another swing before security stepped in. Many fans online reacted to the clip, speculating that it was a worked (staged) incident. Ringside News is reporting that the 'troll' later took photos with Natalya after the scripted incident during the show. However, this appears to be inaccurate, as Nattie took photos with a fan named Frankie that she recognized. The fan who Nattie had the incident was wearing a pink Kenzie Paige t-shirt: Kenzie Paige says working with Natalya is much more than a dream match Natalya's opponent, NWA Women's World Champion Kenzie Paige, spoke with WrestleZone about what the match meant to her. Advertisement 'I feel like it is still kind of a dream, right? I started wrestling when I was 14. So, I just imagine telling like, 14-year-old Kenzie, missing school every Friday and all that stuff, 'Girl, keep going. You're going to wrestle Natalya and Gail Kim is going to be your special guest ref.' I don't know if that part's really registered because I've been so… I'm not going to say in over my head, but I've been so devoted to getting that respect from Natalya and all of that. 'I've almost not even [had time] to focus on the fact that this is a dream for me. This is my job now, right? So, I've not even got to focus on the fact that this is a real-life accomplishment for me. Personally, within my heart, anyone who knows me knows Bret Hart is my favorite. Owen Hart is my favorite, I've painted a picture of Nattie in my high school art class, right? So, this really is a big dream for me. And it's almost crazy to think that now, I've not even got to focus on that part. Because it is my job. And I do have so much more on the line than just a dream match happening for me.' Gail Kim ultimately missed the event due to an unfortunate illness; you can read her statement on missing the NWA Crockett Cup here.
