WWE
is soaring in the wrestling skies as fans look forward to every event with eager eyes. The 2025 SummerSlam is also coming nearer as performers get geared up for two more nights of excitement and thrill.
But amid all the preparation, one thing that has been unsettling many fans and keeping the head honchos of WWE returning to the planning board is the fact that multiple stars are currently facing some heavy injuries.
Injuries to Liv Morgan and other wrestling stars are becoming a big developmental issue for WWE
Liv Morgan is one of the top-performing stars in the WWE, which is why, when she got injured, it came at a price. Morgan was set to have a prominent role in the upcoming all-women wrestling event -
Evolution
2, where she was set to face returning diva -
Nikki Bella
.
Now, with her missing in action, WWE is scratching its head on how to plan its next move.
Unfortunately, she is not the only one who is currently injured. Rey Mysterio, who was set to face El Grande Americano at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, sustained a torn groin injury on the night before the main event during SmackDown and had to withdraw from the match. And recently, earlier this month at the
WWE
Money in the Bank event, even the opponent he was set to face at the Show of Shows, has sustained an injury. El Grande Americano is currently injured and could be missing from action in
future
events.

Chad Gable, too, has been recently injured, and the recent backstage bout at RAW between him and Penta was done to write him off the storyline for a little while to work with the legitimate but undisclosed injury he suffered. Many also believe that Gable and El Grande are the same people, and this similar injury timeline is only going to add more spice to the mix. Otis is yet another star who is currently out of the ring, but the reason behind it is undisclosed as of now.
Another star, who is currently missing out on ring action is Liv Morgan's on-screen boyfriend, Dominik Mysterio. Adam Pearce revealed on the latest RAW episode that he is not cleared to perform and will be missing out on his match against AJ Styles, who he was set to face at
Night of Champions
. With so many stars out injured, WWE is trying to think outside the box to keep the attention of the viewers all while churning out extraordinary storylines and performances.

Mysuru Dasara to be 11-day celebration this year
Bengaluru: Mysuru Dasara is set to run for 11 days this year — a rare extension driven by celestial alignment and cultural planning — with the inaugural ceremony on Sept 22 and the grand Jamboo Savari taking place on Oct 2, coinciding with Vijayadashami and Gandhi Jayanti. Chairing a high-level meeting at Vidhana Soudha Friday, chief minister Siddaramaiah said, "Mysuru Dasara in 2025 will be celebrated for 11 days, due to a unique astronomical occurrence — the Panchami tithi (fifth lunar day) will appear on two consecutive days, Sept 26 and 27, a rare alignment that hasn't occurred in nearly four centuries." Though traditionally a nine or 10-day celebration, Dasara's length has varied in the past because of lunar calendar shifts. "The calendar (Panchanga) followed by the Mysore Palace for all festivals, including Dasara, is based on the lunar calendar. Variations in duration of the festival arise from astronomical factors — specifically the movement of the moon and the sun — which determine the alignment of the lunar days/dates.

It is a celebration rooted in rich historical, religious, and cultural traditions. Our focus should be on conveying this legacy to the people while ensuring their safety," he said. His statement gains significance in the backdrop of the stampede near Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium on June 4, which left 11 people dead. With over 10 lakh visitors expected, including international tourists, the CM said crowd control and security are top priorities this year. He directed that the number of public seats in front of Mysore Palace be reduced to avoid congestion. "Preparations must begin early. Important routes, including those leading to Chamundi Hills and KRS dam, must be repaired. Adequate toilets, parking spaces, and basic amenities must be ensured," Siddaramaiah said. A highlight of this year's festivities will be a grand drone show, in addition to exhibitions and tableaux from govt departments. Since Vijayadashami coincides with Gandhi Jayanti, Gandhian values will also be integrated into the tableaux themes. Last year, the state had sanctioned Rs 40 crore for the Dasara festivities. While a specific allocation is yet to be announced, Siddaramaiah said there will be no shortage of funds. He, however, indicated the govt-sponsored Dasara will be restricted to Mysuru district and won't cover neighbouring districts.

Paije Speights throws shade using ASAP Rocky's quotes as James Harden stays silent
A few quiet Instagram stories shared this week caught fans' attention, not because they were dramatic, but because they felt personal. On June 30, Paije Speights, who is in a relationship with star James Harden, posted two simple stories that seemed to say a lot without many words. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Both posts featured rapper ASAP Rocky and touched on life and love in a soft, thoughtful way. Paije Speights quietly echoes ASAP Rocky's words on love and protection On June 28, Complex Style posted a quote from A$AP Rocky's recent appearance in Paris. He had just wrapped up his AWGE show and was talking about his new fashion work, his journey, and how he's been feeling lately. When asked about where he's at in life, ASAP Rocky replied: 'I got a lot of love in my heart, and I've been trying to protect that as much as possible.' Paije shared this story with just two words: 'also same.' It wasn't loud, but it landed. Some fans felt she was quietly opening up, maybe about her own life.

In that one, he had said: 'I'm on some showing love, spreading love shit at the moment.' This time, she simply wrote: 'Same.' The posts were short and soft, but they hit a nerve. A few fan pages picked up on it, and people started talking about what she might be feeling. It felt like she was using Rocky's voice to share her own. Paije Speights and James Harden keep their bond away from the spotlight Paije doesn't post a lot. She doesn't post much, but when she does, she looks honest and calm. Paije has been with James Harden for a while. He plays for the Los Angeles Clippers. The two were seen at some events and on trips together. But they really don't share photos like an online couple. James, who used to play for the Houston Rockets and the Oklahoma City Thunder, also remains private and keeps his life out of social media. That's why these stories stood out. Fans who follow Paije felt like they were getting a rare glimpse into her thoughts. No long captions. No tags. Just a few quiet words. But sometimes, that's all it takes to say something meaningful.

WWE Night of Champions 2025 Aftermath: Randy Orton injury report after the gruesome King of the Ring final match
WWE Night of Champions 2025 was always going to be a dramatic show, and it main evented with the now well-past due King of the Ring match between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton. Rhodes won, taking the King of the Ring title and a trip guaranteed at a world championship, but the focus soon turned to Orton with his health issues, and the Viper seemed to take a major injury to his back during the contest, setting the hearts of fans and WWE insiders a-flutter. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Medical concerns over Randy Orton's back injury Randy Orton sustained the injury early on in the match, immediately grabbing his lower back as he took a bad superplex from Orton. He was clearly in pain for the rest of the game, observers noted. This is especially horrifying because Orton just came back from being out of action for over a year with back problems. The signs of discomfort were clear in Orton's ability to move, but he was still able to wrestle through the match. During the second half of the match, he stayed away from high-impact moves and was also spotted speaking to referees on a few occasions. WWE has not confirmed this as of this writing, but backstage sources have indicated that he is likely being evaluated to assess the extent of the injury. There is also talk that the injury is somehow part of the storyline, intended to garner sympathy for Orton or to write him off television for a couple of weeks. But considering his actual history with neck injuries, fans are understandably worried this isn't just a work. The storyline impact and SummerSlam implications More than health issues that need a slew of treatment, the injury complicates WWE's larger story moving into SummerSlam. Before King of the Ring, Orton was seen as high on the list for a title push or major feud. Beyond himself, there's the prospect of the plans being affected for Cody Rhodes, who could have either faced him in a rematch or, perhaps, been involved in a tag-team twist. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Also Read: Even the conclusion of the match helped escalate the tension. Orton even tried to go for his former finisher, the Punt Kick, which WWE had stopped using due to it being too violent. But Rhodes replied, taking advantage of a spot where he had exposed the turnbuckle, and captured the victory. With Orton's wellness in question, all the fans have got WWE going through a huge decision. Will they embrace this injury to allow Orton's character to become an even more brutal version of The Viper? Or will these actual issues catch up to one of WWE's finest and afford them another extended time away from the ring? One thing is for sure—the WWE Universe has been left with plenty of questions and few answers in the wake of Night of Champions.
