Green delves into scrapped plans for the Secret Hervice. Chelsea Green and Piper Niven were a duo and when Green became the first-ever WWE Women's United States Champion, both she and Piper took on a Presidential persona. Later joining them would be Alba Fyre and collectively, they are known as 'Secret Hervice.' Green delved into the group while sitting down with Joe Vulpis for a recording of the Lightweights Podcast. Green confirmed a Fightful Select report that Bea Priestley f.k.a. Blair Davenport was going to be the third member of Secret Hervice. When Priestley was released from WWE, the idea to get Alba in the mix was suggested. “When we were talking about a third (member of Secret Hervice), at first it was going to be Blair Davenport, and when Blair was released, it was obviously a really -- kind of like a bummer moment, like man, maybe we’re not gonna grow, maybe we’re not gonna be a faction. We’re just gonna be a tag team and then we both kind of had the idea, ‘What if we can convince them to get Kay Lee? Alba.’ Because Kay Lee is Piper’s best friend from Scotland, from years of working together and she also lived with us in Japan. The three of us worked for STARDOM together so it’s perfect. We have history, we have a relationship, we have a friendship, we mesh already, we know each other’s quirks and downfalls too so we can work around those and it’s just been really fun. I mean, it’s a challenge always to be in a group. You’re always gonna try to figure out week to week how you continue this. It’s not just about you. You can’t always be the center of attention. We have to figure out how to shift constantly and work around WWE’s creative that week." Green was asked if she could see the Secret Hervice expanding and said yes. She mentioned that she wanted Zoey Stark in the faction before her knee injury. Green had the idea in mind for Stark to wear a sleeveless suit to highlight her arm muscles. Green added that NXT's Arianna Grace would also be a shoo-in for the group. “Yes, definitely, and we do have ideas for it (Secret Hervice) to get bigger. Now, again, so much has changed since I lost the title. I think fans would be shocked at the way it’s kind of gone (here & there). It was supposed to go from here to here to here. So much has happened from here to here, that like, who knows? Zoey (Stark is who I considered for the faction). But Zoey blew her knee out. I would have really loved Zoey to be in the faction. I would have really loved her to be in the group, to be a Secret Hervice member and to have a sleeveless suit, to show her guns. That was always my vision. So I’m really sad about that. There’s so many people. I have all these funny names in my head. ‘The Direct-HER, The Secretary of Slay, The Glamander in Chief.’ There’s so many people I could put in there. I’ve always wanted to be a member of Pretty Deadly. Maybe Pretty Deadly could be a member of the Secret Hervice. Who knows? And there’s so many girls in NXT. I mean, Arianna Grace is a shoo-in for my Secretary of Slay. You know, makeup artist, my stylist, my cousin, my -- who knows?" The Secret Hervice was featured on the 6/6 Friday Night SmackDown. Green and Fyre were ringside to watch Piper Niven take on Women's United States Champion Zelina Vega in a Bakersfield Brawl.

Netflix is reportedly working on a new wrestling drama. Rosy Cordero of Deadline reports Netflix is in early development on a wrestling drama series, Tuesday Night Titans. Michael Notarile is listed as the creator, writer and executive producer. Jon M. Chu is also tabbed as an executive producer. Notarile was previously a writer for WWE Raw. From Deadline: Set in the spectacle-driven world of professional wrestling, Tuesday Night Titans follows a tenacious writer who risks her career in the big leagues to recruit her estranged childhood best friend – a ‘jobber’ wrestler on the indies – to join the same behemoth company they idolized in their youth. Their destinies become entangled as they battle personal demons, ruthless colleagues, and their complicated history in an industry where “kayfabe” – wrestling’s staged reality – isn’t confined to the ring, but bleeds into every aspect of their lives. Tuesday Night Titans was the name of a weekly TV show produced by the WWE in the 1980s that aired on USA Network, but has no relation to this project. Fightful will provide more details on the project when they are made available.

Speedball Mike Bailey believes Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland are the two best wrestlers in the world right now. On tonight's special edition of AEW Dynamite Summer Blockbuster, Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland will battle for the second time in All Elite Wrestling. For Speedball Mike Bailey, it is a battle of the two best in the world. While speaking to Katu News in a new interview ahead of tonight's edition of AEW Dynamite, Speedball discussed the bout between the two men, noting that he believes they are the two best wrestlers in the world right now. "We're gonna see Swerve Strickland against Will Ospreay. In my opinion, the two best wrestlers in the world right now, Will Ospreay, someone who I've wrestled five different times, five singles matches, never ended in a W or at least not yet. But it's going to happen, and Swerve, someone who isn't the AEW World Champion, was but hasn't been a long time. But in my opinion, someone who really champions AEW, he represents the company and what he's done, putting AEW at the forefront, talking about how important it is what we're doing is in mainstream media, I think is fantastic. So I think that match is going to be absolutely out of this world." For the full preview ahead of tonight's edition of AEW Dynamite, you can read that here.

Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins are no strangers to helping their peers as both have their own training school and have been publicly praised by other talent for giving them advice. Speaking on his What Do You Want To Talk About podcast with Damian Priest, Cody revealed how he and Seth stepped up and produced a WWE event when the producers were unable to make it. "We had a situation where we needed to get to Omaha or get out of Omaha, and I thought I would be a big baller and save the day. There were no commercial flights going. I got the crew a jet and we were heading to El Paso. That was the trouble. We needed to get to El Paso from Nebraska in the middle of a snowstorm, and the only way we could do it was flying private. Ultimately, WWE stepped in and covered it for me," recalled Cody. Priest praised Cody for being a good guy over the gesture. Cody continued, "We had a show to do. No producers. Me and Seth, we were producers and it was a show that had a commission, so we actually had to do work. It wasn't, 'Hey, you're good, we know your match. Hey, 12 minutes.' None of that." Priest noted, "You guys did your thing and everybody took you guys seriously." Cody said, "The best is I didn't put the producers on the flight. I put the boys on the flight. We have to do the show. Love (the producers), but we had to do the show. Seth is doing it and doing an incredible job. Obviously, that's in his future. I'm sure the world can figure that out." Cody and Priest didn't give a timeframe as to when their producing talents were utilized.

In recent years, celebrity appearances in WWE have become more and more common, with the likes of Bad Bunny and Logan Paul stepping into the ring for matches to much success. For Raquel Rodriguez, she would love to team with someone who knows a thing or two about family. While speaking on You Know I'm Right, Raquel was asked what celebrity she would like to work with in the ring, with one half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions choosing Michelle Rodriguez, who plays Letty in the Fast And The Furious franchise. "I would love to tag team with Michelle Rodriguez from Fast and the Furious. I think she's so cool. We could be like cousins, you know, and like, that would be really, really close. I would love to tag. Let's add Vin Diesel in there just for fun. He's the manager, right? Why not? Why not? I love that. That would be really, really cool. I definitely say her." Raquel continued, noting that she feels several cast members of Love On The Spectrum could work out well in the ring. "Just from recently, from being at like Tudum and meeting all these people, I think it would be really cool to work with anyone from Love on the Spectrum in the ring. Like anyone of those characters. They weren't characters. They're themselves, obviously. James, Connor. I mean, these guys are awesome. Connor, I feel like, would be a great wrestler.
