Over the last month, the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, better known as ICE, has become entangled with pro wrestling, most notably thanks to AEW star Brody King, who’s anti-ICE activism has translated into anti-ICE chants on AEW programming. Now, another ICE/wrestling related story has emerged, and it’s one that will do little to quell the anti-ICE chants at AEW shows or other wrestling events.

Almost two weeks ago, independent wrestler Nicolth Hernandez-Lucero was detained by ICE agents while driving home. The incident was recorded by Hernandez-Lucero’s husband Noah Lazega, who was on the phone with her at the time of her arrest. Hernandez-Lucero remains in ICE custody to this day, while Lazega has launched a GoFundMe to help her legal battle; so far, he has raised $20,749 out of a goal of $28,000. Among the most notable names to make donations are former AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander, and WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch, under her real name Rebecca Quin.

Hernandez-Lucero first debuted as a wrestler back in 2018, after receiving training from former WWE star Gangrel. She would form a tag team with her sister, Tiffany, called the Lucero Twins, and found singles success in 2019, when she won the GWA Women’s Championship for Gangrel’s wrestling promotion, the Gangrel Wrestling Asylum. 

It’s unclear if Hernandez-Lucero has continued her wrestling career over the last few years, however, as her last recorded match, according to Cagematch, was in 2023, while Lazega’s GoFundMe for Hernandez-Lucero describes her as working as a surgical technician. Days after news of Hernandez-Lucero being detained broke, Gangrel took to Facebook to offer support for his student, sharing the link to Lazega’s GoFundMe page.

AJ Styles officially retired from WWE at the Royal Rumble last month when he lost his career-threatening match to GUNTHER, which came as a surprise to many fans who believed that the 48-year-old would hang up his boots this coming April at WrestleMania. It was later revealed that Styles wanted to retire at the Royal Rumble as it was the event where he debuted for the company 10 years ago, but during a recent vlog on WWE’s YouTube channel, “The Phenomenal One” explained that he was initially going to end his career at WrestleMania 41 last year. 

“Everybody wants to retire at WrestleMania, right? The biggest show of the year that we do, and I was gonna do exactly that, but I just came back for an injury that was supposed retire me, cause of the injury, it retires most. But once I got healed up and was comfortable enough running and doing what I needed to do to be AJ Styles, it just didn’t feel right to come back for two months just to retire. It didn’t seem right and I thought what a better way to be able to leave on the pay-per-view where you debuted.”

Tonight on “WWE Raw,” a tribute to Styles is will take place an hour away from his hometown of Gainesville in Atlanta, Georgia, with stars from all brands of the promotion scheduled to be in attendance. It’s also just been confirmed that the former WWE Champion will appear live on “Raw” for the tribute.

Bayley has yet to actually see a pay-off to her removal from last year’s WrestleMania, allowing Lynch to team with Lyra Valkyria and capture the Women’s Tag Team Championship. It was later revealed that Lynch had been the one to attack Bayley, causing her to miss out on the biggest show of the year.

Bayley has since gone through a feud of-sorts with Valkyria, with both failing to take the Intercontinental title from Lynch last year. They’re now working together as a tag team, but Bayley and Valkyria have yet to capture the Women’s Tag Team Championship together. 

The rule of catharsis would dictate that, when all is said and done, Bayley is the one to take the Intercontinental title from Lynch. “The Man” wouldn’t even have the title if it wasn’t for her plot against Bayley one year ago. At the same time, Bayley was robbed of her chance at a title as she was forced to watch Lynch replace her and take the tag belts too. 

It would complete that arc for Bayley to have undergone the work to recover both physically and mentally from that attack, trading gold-for-gold and gaining vengeance against Lynch. More than anything, though, it would be good for her to get back on track after having been on quite the gold drought since being Women’s Champion two years ago. 

All eyes have been on Bad Bunny for the start of 2026, especially following his highly publicized, and acclaimed, performance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. And since then, many have wondered if WWE will look to take advantage of the situation by bringing Bunny back into the fold for a potential WrestleMania match, with Logan Paul thought as a potential opponent following his brother Jake Paul’s controversial criticism of Bunny’s halftime show performance.

Whether that’s in the cards or not is unclear, but it’s quite clear that top WWE star Cody Rhodes is one of the many who wants it to happen. Speaking with “TMZSports” while signing autographs, Rhodes was asked about Bunny’s Halftime Show performance and his potential WWE prospects for a WrestleMania match. The former Undisputed WWE Champion was positive regarding both.

“Oh he killed it,” Rhodes said. “I hope we get him back. He did a wonderful job. He’s on top of the world right now. That show is an all-timer, all-timer. Prince might still be my favorite, but that’s was an all-timer.”

As for who Rhodes foresees as Bunny’s WrestleMania opponent, the “American Nightmare” seems to be following the crowd.

“Maybe Logan [Paul],” Rhodes said. “Maybe Logan.”

Even if Bad Bunny doesn’t appear at WrestleMania, all signs point to Rhodes being heavily involved in the Undisputed WWE Championship scene for the third year in a row, with many expecting him to challenge current champion Drew McIntyre. The only question is whether Rhodes will be the only challenger for McIntyre’s championship, as some reports have suggested Jacob Fatu could also be in line for a WrestleMania title shot.
