WWE: JD McDonagh on His Betrayal of Finn Balor, Charlotte Flair on Her Belief Poor Mental Health Issues Contributed to Her Torn ACL Injury in 2023, Dustin Rhodes Says He Would ‘Absolutely’ Be Interested in WWE Hall of Fame Induction

JD McDonagh Comments on His Betrayal of Finn Balor

As noted before, Monday’s WWE RAW show in Seattle, Washington featured Finn Balor being kicked out of Judgement Day that included JD McDonagh attacking Balor after initially trying to defuse the heated situation between Balor and Dominik Mysterio that turned physical.

Following the show, McDonagh gave his thoughts on Twitter about his reasons why he betrayed Balor and blaming Balor’s ego for why tensions had been brewing in Judgement Day for months.

“You lied to all of us for months. You got an ego. You wanted to be the leader. You played games. That’s never been what the Judgment Day has been about. You used to know that.

Judgment Day is my family and if anybody dares to try to step on any of them, you get stomped out.”


Charlotte Flair Comments on Her Belief Poor Mental Health Issues Contributed to Her Torn ACL Injury in 2023

Bloomberg Talks held a recent interview with Charlotte Flair. One of the topics discussed included Flair’s thoughts about her suffering a torn ACL injury in December of 2023 and her belief that her dealing with poor mental health issues at the time had contributed to her injury.

“Definitely think when I hurt my knee, I tore my ACL. I don’t think I was in the right state of mind, meaning whether it was imposter syndrome, that dialogue, that how we talk to ourselves, that inner self-talk. I feel like I was in a very negative space and not opening up about it and the anxiety of you know, being a woman that’s approaching 40, what that looks like, the demands. I want to be able to say I’m a woman and what I want more of is time and all that pressure adding up. I feel like the reason I hurt my knee is because I wasn’t all there, performing. For someone who has, I always looked at myself as the iron woman, and when my knee took me out, I was like, all I viewed myself as a professional wrestler. Like that’s all I am, and that’s not all I am. I do have a voice and maybe this is the start of something bigger for me. Like I love being Charlotte, but taking Charlotte to the next level and making these conversations more accessible or not taboo for people in any kind of industry, I think is so important.”

Dustin Rhodes Says He Would ‘Absolutely’ Be Interested in WWE Hall of Fame Induction

FOX News held a recent interview with former WWE and current AEW talent Dustin Rhodes. One of the topics discussed included Rhodes’ thoughts about how he would “absolutely” be interested in a potential induction into WWE’s Hall of Fame after he retires from his in-ring wrestling career.

“Absolutely. I’m a very humble guy though, it’s like, if it comes, it comes, whatever. I would love Cody to do it and my daughter, specifically both of them. That would be just great, the most meaningful, heartfelt, but if it comes, it comes, if it doesn’t, no big deal. I’ve had an awesome, incredible career. Doing some great things.

I feel like these last seven years in AEW, I’ve been really on top of my game because I’ve had more freedom to enjoy it, and it’s happier and you’re more passionate, find your passion sometimes again, and you want to grow this company the best we can, and we’re all on the same page in AEW. We are doing the best that we can to get it to where it needs to be, and it’s growing. It’s getting huge.”
