Two WWE Stars Reportedly Sidelined With Injuries
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The WWE tag team New Catch Republic is reportedly on the injured list. Both Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate have been absent from television since late May. According to a report from Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live, both members of the team are currently sidelined with injuries. The team's last match was a victory over A-Town Down Under on the May 26th edition of WWE Main Event. Injuries Halt WWE Tag Team's Momentum At this time, the nature of the injuries to Dunne and Bate is unknown. There is also no official timeline for how long either superstar will be out of action. This is an unfortunate development for the tag team. It is especially so for Tyler Bate. Setback For Tyler Bate This latest issue marks a significant setback for the "Big Strong Boy." Bate only returned to the ring in March of this year. He had been on the shelf for nine months prior to that return. He was recovering from a torn pectoral muscle.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - OCTOBER 11: A WWE logo is shown on a screen before a WWE news conference at T-Mobile Arena on October 11, 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was announced that WWE wrestler Braun Strowman will face heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury and WWE champion Brock Lesnar will take on former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez at the WWE's Crown Jewel event at Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on October 31. More Since his return, he and Dunne have competed mainly on WWE Main Event. During Bate's previous absence in late 2024, Dunne had a brief singles run as a heel. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation Both stars are foundational figures of the NXT UK brand, forever linked by their classic rivalry. Bate became the first-ever WWE United Kingdom Champion in 2017, but Dunne dethroned him in a legendary match, beginning a historic 685-day reign as champion. Both men also found success winning the NXT Tag Team Championship with different partners. On the main roster, Dunne was repackaged as "Butch" of the Brawling Brutes before reverting to his original name. He and Bate then officially reunited in early 2024 to form the tag team New Catch Republic, bringing their acclaimed chemistry to the main roster. The team has challenged for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team titles and is praised for their hard-hitting, technical style. WWE will miss these two stars who can match up with anyone and get younger talents over. They also present a situation where WWE can plug them into any program or match needed and know what they deliver inside of the squared circle.

Tiffany Stratton's partner, Ludwig Kaiser, makes a mysterious RAW return
Ludwig Kaiser and Tiffany Stratton (Image via Getty Images) Ludwig Kaiser has been missing from the action since long time and has left the fans wondering: Where is Ludwig Kaiser? Known for his time with Imperium, the wrestler quietly disappeared from RAW and SmackDown, leaving his future uncertain. But now, after nearly two months off TV, Kaiser has finally resurfaced, and his return comes with even more intrigue, considering his real-life relationship with fellow WWE star Tiffany Stratton. With Stratton currently rocking on SmackDown and Kaiser missing in action, fans speculated whether WWE had a bigger plan in motion. And now, Kaiser's unexpected RAW appearance suggests his story inside the ring is far from over. Ludwig Kaiser was spotted during a heated RAW segment The last time Ludwig Kaiser was seen in televised action was back in April during the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on SmackDown ahead of WrestleMania 41. Since then, his only matches came quietly on WWE Main Event, and his absence from RAW and SmackDown left everyone scratching their heads and wanting more. But that all changed on the June 23rd episode of RAW. During a backstage segment, tensions exploded between Chad Gable and Penta . The fight between the two got worse when Penta pulled Gable's arm badly, leaving him in pain as the referees and producers quickly came to help. While everyone was focused on the fight, some sharp-eyed fans noticed Ludwig Kaiser quietly standing in the background, watching everything happen. The commentators didn't mention him, but fans quickly spotted him and started talking about it online. Ludwig Kaiser's future after Imperium and what's next Ludwig Kaiser rose to fame as part of Imperium alongside Gunther and Giovanni Vinci . But with Vinci released earlier this year and Gunther now dominating as a two-time World Heavyweight Champion, Kaiser's path has become less clear. There's been no public fallout between Kaiser and Gunther, but WWE has hinted at Kaiser stepping out from under The Ring General's shadow to build his own legacy. His quiet, background appearance on RAW may just be the start of that journey. Penta snaps on Chad Gable: Raw highlights, June 23, 2025 Adding to the intrigue is Kaiser's real-life relationship with rising star Tiffany Stratton. With Stratton on SmackDown, some fans believe WWE may have future plans that could tie their on-screen stories together. For now, though, Kaiser's solo return is enough to spark speculation. Will Kaiser target Penta? Align with Gable? Or forge his own path entirely? One thing is clear, he will not be hiding in the background for long. Ludwig Kaiser is back, and his next move could shake things up in a big way.

WWE Superstar Undergoes Surgery
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. WWE NXT talent Wren Sinclair has revealed she recently underwent shoulder surgery, confirming that the procedure went smoothly. The promising superstar shared the news with fans via her Instagram account. Sinclair posted a time-lapse video that documented her journey through the surgical process, from pre-operative preparations to her post-surgery recovery. In the accompanying caption, she optimistically wrote, "Surgery was a success." This update provides a positive first step in her journey back to the ring, though no official timetable for her return has been announced. Sinclair, formerly known by names including Jakara Jackson (and referred to as "Reece" in the social media post where she announced her surgery), hasn't competed since a WWE NXT live event in Bartow, Florida, on March 22, 2025. At that show, she faced Karmen Petrovic in a singles contest. Before signing with WWE and joining the NXT brand, Sinclair, as Madi Wrenkowski, made a name for herself on the independent circuit and also made appearances for AEW. She officially signed with WWE in 2023, initially performing under the name Jakara Jackson on NXT Level Up and NXT television. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation During her time as Jackson, she was frequently featured alongside talent like Malik Blade, Edris Enofe, and Oro Mensah, forming an alliance known as "The Meta-Four" for a period with Mensah, Noam Dar, and Lash Legend. More recently, she was repackaged as Wren Sinclair, showcasing a more intense persona. Sexyy Red performs during NXT at The Factory on October 8, 2024 in Chesterfield, Missouri.

Showing off the evolving landscape of wrestling partnerships, she even made a notable crossover appearance on TNA iMPACT! earlier in 2025, a rare opportunity stemming from WWE's collaboration with TNA Wrestling. We wish her a speedy recovery. WWE is giving its talent and those in TNA a good opportunity as they can work on each other's brands. In the case of Reece, she needs all the reps and time in the ring as possible. Being able to branch out to TNA and work with their talent is a positive thing that can only help her in the long run. It will be interesting to see where WWE goes with her once she returns to action. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

Fan-Favorite WWE Star Furious Over Personal Details Being Leaked
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. WWE star Karrion Kross has become increasingly popular in recent months, partly due to his adeptness at blurring the lines between on-screen character and real-life frustrations. One such frustration he recently addressed is the leaking of his WWE contract details, information he believes should have remained private. His current WWE contract is reportedly set to expire later in 2025, and Kross is not pleased that this became public knowledge. During a candid interview with Ariel Helwani, Kross was asked about the contract details leaking online and admitted, "That put me over the edge. I think that happened online shortly after AOP and Ellering were gone. It was just kind of one thing after another. I'm still pretty pissed about that." He added, "I don't know who did it, it's impossible to say, I have no idea. But, I was kind of out of my mind at that moment, so it's kinda hard to put myself back there." When pressed on why the leak bothered him so intensely, Kross emphasized, "It's just privacy... Who the hell is supposed to know about that? Stuff gets leaked all the time." "That put me over the edge because that was also happening shortly after AOP and Ellering were gone. It was just like kind of one thing after another. I'm still pretty pissed about that. I was kind of out of my mind at that moment."@realKILLERkross on contract info being… — Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) May 21, 2025 More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation In the same conversation, the former NXT Champion discussed the aftermath of his already-infamous worked-shoot promo following WrestleMania 41, where he passionately voiced his frustrations. Kross revealed the promo resonated strongly with many of his peers. He stated that he received a standing ovation backstage the next day, with numerous Superstars thanking him for speaking up, some even reportedly moved to tears. However, Kross also acknowledged that the candid outburst wasn't universally well-received within the company. Seth Rollins address the WWE Universe during Monday Night RAW at Intrust Bank Arena on December 9, 2024 in Wichita, Kansas Seth Rollins address the WWE Universe during Monday Night RAW at Intrust Bank Arena on December 9, 2024 in Wichita,Kross conceded that "not everyone was thrilled," subtly hinting that WWE management might not have appreciated his directness as much as his colleagues or the online fanbase did. Since delivering that headline-making promo, Kross has yet to compete in a main roster televised match, with his only in-ring appearances being two matches on WWE Main Event recorded around WrestleMania weekend. This has led to further fan speculation about his current standing and future direction within the company as his contract year progresses. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.
