Armando Alejandro Montalvo, known as the "OG Performance Center stalker," had his dead animal citation dismissed by Orange County, Florida on June 11, 2026. The citation was issued on April 2, 2026, after authorities accused Montalvo of repeatedly leaving animal carcasses outside an Orange County Sheriff's Office substation on February 27, March 26, and April 1, 2026.

John Heidenreich recently reflected on his infamous backstage segment with Michael Cole from 20 years ago, calling it "disturbing" and acknowledging it was "really, really off-the-wall." In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Heidenreich explained that WWE's pitch involved him abducting Cole and creating uncomfortable tension by making it seem like the segment was heading in a dark direction before revealing he was only going to read Cole a poem. Despite the bizarre nature of the segment, Heidenreich said he was willing to do whatever WWE asked of him at that stage of his career and believes the segment has helped keep his name alive with fans who still bring it up today.
Former WWE Superstar John Heidenreich admitted in an interview with Chris Van Vliet that his WWE release was caused by his own bad decisions, including drug use, showing up late to shows, and missing flights. Heidenreich, who was in a prominent position with the company as part of the Legion of Doom tag team, acknowledged that he used pain pills and other substances, which contributed to his tardiness and eventually led to WWE releasing him. He stated that WWE had policies in place to help wrestlers with these issues, but he was unwilling to admit he had a problem at the time.
Killer Kross stated during an appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show that he was making more money outside WWE "right away" after leaving the company. Kross explained that he knew his market value while still in talks with WWE, but said the company viewed his outside earnings potential as "irrelevant." Since becoming a free agent, Kross said he has been building independent revenue streams by working directly with vendors rather than relying on one major platform, making him less dependent on just wrestling appearances for income.
Santino Marella has softened his stance on a potential WWE Hall of Fame induction, telling Italian Wrestling Channel that while many people say he belongs there, he doesn't want to build up expectations for himself and would simply be "very happy" if it happens. This represents a change from his June 2025 comments where he focused more on whether fans value comedy in wrestling, noting that some fans want serious matches while others appreciate the entertainment side. Marella currently works as Director of Authority for TNA Wrestling and says he's not putting pressure on WWE or making a case for himself regarding Hall of Fame consideration.
Killer Kross suggested on The Ariel Helwani Show that Triple H may not be calling all the shots in WWE's creative direction, stating he believes "there are people who call things in and he has to make the best of what they want to play out on television." Kross said he doesn't blame Triple H for WWE's current creative issues and believes outside forces may be involved, comparing the situation to his own experience working under Triple H when he could recognize the difference between when Triple H could make his own calls versus when he couldn't.
Chavo Guerrero expressed confidence that he and Rey Mysterio could still deliver an exceptional match together, stating they could "tear the place down" if given five days to prepare due to their strong chemistry and familiarity with each other. During an appearance on Gabby AF, Guerrero praised Mysterio's longevity despite numerous injuries and surgeries, noting the difficulty of performing at WWE and AAA's high level in one's 50s. Guerrero also indicated he remains open to future wrestling opportunities, citing his recent TNA match in El Paso and stating that "Guerreros never retire."
Chavo Guerrero explained on Gabby AF that amateur wrestlers face significant challenges transitioning to professional wrestling because it requires different skills beyond athletic ability. He cited Kurt Angle, Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Haas, Brock Lesnar, and Bobby Lashley as rare success stories, noting that most amateur wrestlers struggle to shift from a competitive mindset to the storytelling and entertainment aspects required in pro wrestling. Guerrero emphasized that while athleticism is important, wrestlers must learn to connect with fans and tell stories rather than simply trying to dominate opponents.
