Former ECW, WCW and WWE star 2 Cold Scorpio has been jailed in Kansas City, Missouri, after violating the conditions of his bond by brandishing a firearm. Scorpio, real name Charles Scaggs, reportedly admitted to the violation after prosecutors argued his possession of a firearm posed a danger to public safety. The 60-year-old had been out on bond after accepting a plea deal in August on charges of second-degree assault and armed criminal action stemming from a June 2024 stabbing incident, which he claimed was self-defence. The alleged victim disputed his account and claimed Scorpio was the aggressor. Scorpio is scheduled to be sentenced on October 9 and has not wrestled in 13 months.
Penta’s performance against Roman Reigns on Monday’s WWE Raw has reportedly strengthened his standing within the company despite failing to win the World Heavyweight Championship. According to Fightful Select, several people within WWE believe Penta established himself as a major star during the Mexico City main event and has earned further opportunities at the top of the card. WWE is reportedly not considering an immediate rematch with Reigns, although the positive reaction to their first encounter has left the door open for another match in the future. One WWE source reportedly believes Penta vs. Reigns could eventually headline a Premium Live Event.
WWE is reportedly discussing the situation surrounding Saudi Arabia after the U.S. State Department updated its Level 3 travel advisory for the country, advising Americans to reconsider travel. According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, the advisory has become a topic of discussion within WWE, although any decision regarding upcoming events would be made at a higher level. Crown Jewel is currently scheduled for November 7 in Riyadh, and WWE is reportedly committed to that date with ESPN regardless of the event’s location. Dave Meltzer said the advisory reflects concerns about potential attacks from Iran, while travel near the Yemen border faces stronger restrictions.
