Brie Bella has given fans an update on her injury. On The Nikki & Brie Show she said: “I still think my days to be in-ring are still far, unfortunately, and just so you all know, I’m not the type of girl anymore who’s going to rush things. So for me it’s like making sure my bones are fused then next going back into the right type of exercise, getting my body strong and then the next is getting back into practicing in the ring and making sure my in-ring work is back to par. I don’t want to be rusty in the ring anymore. I want all of it out before I make that comeback but I’ll keep you guys updated.”

The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board approved WWE’s extension on September 25, giving the company until December 23 to file an opposition, although none has been filed yet. Hyson applied for the trademark in May 2026 specifically for action figures. A previous attempt to trademark the name for wrestling services was rejected because of WWE’s existing “Dudley Boyz” trademark and was abandoned in 2007.

However, Jarrett said Tony Khan is effectively “the mountain” itself, arguing AEW would not exist without his vision and mindset.
