In a recent interview with the Counted Out podcast, Rosemary gave her thoughts about Allie’s, former The Bunny in AEW, recent return to TNA Wrestling. Rosemary stated “Well, do you know just being able to make her corporeal form visible, through a video camera, for the hive to see. — she is still a ghost after all but to be able to project that to you all, that takes a great amount of power. You can tell we’re getting stronger, just that you can see her in ghost form, and she has been dead for seven years. She was very nervous that perhaps people had forgotten about her. People had moved on. People weren’t interested in seeing Demon x Bunny anymore so we’ve relayed all of these messages. She’s been able to hear the outpouring of feelings, the excitement of the hive and all of the fans out there waiting for The Bunny to be resurrected and have another chance. She’s very excited…” (Transcript h/t: Fightful.com)

In a recent interview with the Generation of Wrestling Podcast, Eddie Edwards gave his thoughts about his upcoming match against Mike Santana for the TNA World Championship at this month’s TNA Rebellion 2026 event. Edwards stated “It’s the main event of one of our biggest shows of the year. It’s Rebellion, and any time you’re in a main event of a big show, you get to feel that pressure. Going into it, I enjoy being in those spots. This is the pressure that we all want. You know what I mean? This is the moments that there’s all the hard work that we do. We want to be in those top-billed matches on pay-per-view, and that’s what the situation is. You know, going into it, I’m just going out there, and there’s these matches where you go in knowing that when you walk to the back, you know, when the match is over, you know you’re going to be beat up. You’re going to be bruised. You’re going to be exhausted. You’re going to feel that adrenaline pumping, that’s what I look forward into in a match like this. I want to feel that coming from the back. I want to feel like I left it all out there. You know what I mean? Because I know I will. I know Santana will, he has been a great champion. There’s no denying it. He has worked his ass off for it, but I know we’re both in there together. We have similar mindset where we’re going to leave it all out there. We are, we are the main event in Cleveland, Ohio (at) Rebellion. Like let’s leave it all out there. Let’s bust our ass and leave it out there. So I’m looking forward to that feeling of pure exhaustion when I walk to the back and a feeling of true accomplishment. That is my goal, and, of course, feeling as a world champion walking out of there.” (Transcript h/t: Fightful.com)
