Independent wrestler Candy Cartwright has taken legal action against Matt Riddle, Gabe Sapolsky, Evolve and WWE.

Cartwright, real name Samantha Tavel has filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Cook County Illinois. The suit names Matt Riddle, World Wrestling Entertainment, Gabe Sapolsky and Evolve Wrestling as the defendants.

According to Fightful.com Tavel is seeking $10 million per defendant.

In a statement, WWE, said: “WWE has not been served with a lawsuit by Ms. Tavel. However, if served, we will vigorously defend ourselves and contest it.”

Gabe Sapolsky was also seemingly unaware of the lawsuit saying it is “news to me.”

In the lawsuit, Tavel alleges that Riddle sexually assaulted her multiple times between 2017-2020, whilst they were having an affair. Specifically, an incident around May 19, 2018, where Riddle forced Tavel to perform oral sex on him by choking her.

Tavel also claims Riddle was instrumental in several of her bookings with Evolve and WWE getting cancelled.

Tavel accused Riddle of sexual assault in June as part of the Speaking Out movement, which saw dozens of wrestlers implicated. Riddle denied the allegations of sexual assault but would later admit to having a relationship/affair with Tavel.

Tavel and her attorney held a press conference on October, 8 to announce the civil lawsuit.

WWE Apparently Closes Talent Twitch Accounts, AJ Styles Reacts, Paige Talks Unionization

It looks like WWE is in the process of shutting down Twitch & Mixer streaming channels owned by several Superstars. Cameo accounts are also being deactivated.

AJ Styles took to Discord this afternoon and announced that he was suspending his "Stylesclash" accounts on Mixer and Twitch due to WWE's new policy on unauthorized third party platform activity. Styles thanked his fans for the support and memories. He also said he will be leaving his Discord server up to keep in touch with fans for future happenings.

"@everyone, I want to thank you for all the greatest memories on Mixer and Twitch," AJ wrote. "I will cherish these memories and I love everyone of you that have made this possible and supported me. As many of you know WWE is making some changes that involve streaming. We will see what the future holds in that regard.


"With that being said I will be suspending Stylesclash stream. This isn't good bye, but this is see you sometime in the future. We will leave discord open, but since it won't be monitored we will be making changes. Chris or I will let you know what that looks like once we figure it out. If you see me at the arenas or wherever be sure to let me know you're part of the phenomenal family. Again this isn't the end it's just a pause. Thank you again for your support."

Mia Yim (Reckoning of RETRIBUTION) announced on Twitter that her "ItsMeSYB" Twitch stream is also being pulled down, right before her scheduled gameplay with Jessamyn Duke.

"Sorry guys, no more stream for the time being. Thank you for making these past few difficult months manageable. It's not goodbye, it's see you later. [blue heart emoji]," Yim wrote.


Cesaro announced that he was suspending his "Claudio's Cafe" channel on Twitch today during a stream.

"Well I appreciate everybody spending some time here with me," Cesaro said. "I don't know when the next stream is gonna be... I'll definitely let you guys know. ... Thank everybody for spending your time with me here. Thanks for the subs, thanks for the gifts, thanks for the follows. I really do appreciate it. I hope I'll be back soon, but when? I don't know. So, yeah... one last race, who are we gonna race today? So yeah, I don't know when I'll be back."

Paige got emotional during one of her Twitch streams this afternoon on her "Saraya Official" channel after finding out about co-workers shutting down their platforms.

"You guys. We have to make this... you guys. There may be a time where I have to stop streaming," Paige said. "So, I just think in case I walk away, if I have to walk away, let's make these next two streams crazy. I have to go off. If I have to leave, we make today and Saturday f--king crazy before I have to leave, because it might have to come to that.

Paige continued texting, apparently with co-workers on her phone, and came back to the camera. She was more emotional as she went back to addressing her viewers. She then commented that she "cannot deal" with WWE anymore. She also blamed the company for over-working her, to the point that she suffered the career-ending neck injury during a WWE live event match in December 2017.


"I've honestly got to the point where I cannot deal with this company anymore," Paige said. "So now I have to make a very important decision. I'm f--king tired, man. I broke my f--king neck twice, twice for this company, over f--king worked. I broke my neck twice for this company and all I wanted was to... they don't realize that this community isn't just about f--king subs. It isn't about that. It isn't about that. We built a wonderful community, a wonderful f--king family where this is an escape for a lot of people, including myself.

"I can't wrestle anymore, I was worked so hard in WWE that I can't wrestle anymore. My neck is f--ked, my whole dream got taken away from me, dude, and I had to have something that fulfilled even a small part of that huge f--king void that I lost with wrestling. A huge f--king void. I couldn't wrestle anymore, something I lived, breathed, f--king s--t wrestling since I was a fetus, dude, and it got ripped away from me, and I had to find something that even filled a little bit of that. Twitch was such a wonderful thing for me, it's such a wonderful place for me."

Paige continued and wondered why WWE is taking away her platform while she just sits at home, unable to wrestle.

"And I understand," Paige said. "I understand if they're like, 'Hey, if you're wrestling every day, if you're doing shows every day, if you're on TV constantly.' That's fine, but I'm a f--king injured wrestler. I can't wrestle anymore. I get used for media stuff sometimes, you know? But at the end of the day I'm in my f--king house. I'm going f--king crazy, dude. I need something to keep me sane, man, and Twitch was my escape from that, you know? Right now I'm just sitting on my f--king ass."

Paige also brought up her private photos & videos that were leaked on the internet a few years ago, and her failed drug tests, and relationship with former WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio. She also accused WWE of treating her bad.


"I had a terrible couple of years where I had tapes leaked about me, where I popped a couple of drug tests because I was in an abusive f--king relationship, dude," Paige said. "And that's the only thing I could f--king do. See, people think I should be thankful that I still have a f--king job, right? And I am, but it doesn't mean I should be treated like f--king s--t."

Paige said at one point that she would keep streaming because her neck was taken away twice and she won't allow WWE to take away her Twitch next. She also mentioned potential unionization in pro wrestling, revealing that she's been in touch with a unionization lawyer.

"People don't realize I'm outspoken as f--k," Paige said. I will say how I feel. I don't care who you are. I will say how I feel because I don't like being walked all over. ... You know what? I'm gonna start looking more into unionization. I've been learning about it by a unionization lawyer.

"This is bigger than Twitch, it's about taking f--king control of your own life and not being controlled by anyone. I gave ten years, man. I poured my f--king heart and soul into this. I had a bad couple of years like every motherf--ker has. I'm not the only one who is f--king controversial around here, I'm not the only one. It's f--king louder when it comes to me because I'm a f--king female. I hate using that because I'm a woman but it's because I'm a woman and women don't usually stand up for themselves."

Paige went on and said she will continue to stream for her fans, and see how the situation plays out. Paige said she loves WWE but doesn't agree with what is being done in regards to the third party activity. She noted that she understands that this is a business decision, and nothing personal, but she still doesn't have to agree with it. She also noted that she felt sad at first, but now she feels empowered after speaking out on the latest stream. She told fans that she will be speaking out with more of what's on her mind over the next couple of days.


WWE couple Zelina Vega and Aleister Black also discussed the situation on their "AtoZ" Twitch channel. They reiterated that they are not 100% sure of what will happen to the account as they have not talked to "the office" but they know there will be a conversation on the matter at SmackDown on Friday.

"In all fairness, we don't know," Black said. "We don't know but it's starting to look like, obviously that this might be the last one for a while. We haven't been told anything, but obviously tomorrow is TV, and I know that there's going to be a conversation tomorrow. But, like, it's not definite, it's not like this is the last final stream ever."

Vega added, "Although it could be. I want you to be prepared for that, too."

Black continued, "It could be but we don't think it is, but you never know. I think what's happening is they're trying to find a way to make it coexist within the WWE Universe and whatever way that they want to do that, I don't know, and if we agree to that, I don't know. I literally can't tell you anything because we don't know anything."

"Only because we haven't been told anything from the office," Vega added.

Black and Vega acknowledged the statements by Styles and Yim, and said they made those because they were told separately. Vega said it's their business and she's not sure if Yim and Styles have had conversations with the office, but she and Black have not.

"I think you can definitely say this is the last one for a while, for at least a while, and I don't know how long that while is. Obviously tomorrow [at SmackDown] we're going to get a little more clarity on things, but I don't know," Black said.

Like Styles, Black and Vega plan to keep their Discord server open so they can interact with fans.


"I'm just going to be candid," Vega said. "And just like, we don't know but we have a good idea, and there's the whole 'trying to make it work for everybody' stage that we're in right now, and we're hoping that there is some kind of middle ground. Is there? There may not be because the thing is, that sounds great, you know? And I hope there is. It sounds like middle ground would be awesome, but I also want to prepare people."

She added, "Because I don't want to give you guys hope and then slap you guys in the face and go, 'Sorry!' You know what I mean?"

"We're preparing you for both," Vega said. "We're preparing you for the, 'Hey we figured out something and it's kind of going to be different and it's going to work somehow.' But it's not going to be exactly what this is because I don't think it'll ever be this, it'll be different if there is that, but there's also the side of, 'We just have to stop.' I want you guys to be prepared for both. I just want to be 100% honest with you."

Black and Vega acknowledged Paige being upfront and honest with her viewers, and not holding anything back. Vega recalled how Paige also said officials have not said anything concrete to her either, but Vega is sure something will happen to the third party activity. Black and Vega also commented on how they built their platform together, with the fans, despite Black being a very private person.

On a related note, several WWE Superstars have deactivated their Cameo accounts as well, and are no longer taking requests from fans. RSN discovered that Big E, Riddle, Kevin Owens and others have all deactivated their Cameo accounts, which were big earners for some wrestlers. There are some WWE Superstars who remain on Cameo, such as Lacey Evans and Mandy Rose, among others. It remains to be seen if their accounts will be deactivated soon like the others.

Stay tuned for more on WWE's policy on third party platform activity. As Black and Vega noted, more information may be available after talents talk with officials at the SmackDown taping on Friday.

You can see a screenshot of AJ's message below, along with Yim's tweet.

****ing hell the women's match...

Just... Incredible.

[Jordan.]

Having a catch up on WarGames now, the women absolutely killed it, somehow managed to even top last years match. Ciampa vs Thatcher was great too, hope to see a rematch for them.

I think WG is my favourite PPV now, look forward to it every year and it always delivers.

Can't help but imagine what this year's would have been like with a packed arena audience. :bawling:

P.s. NXT commentary SEVERELY misses Mauro.

Rumours are going around that Eva Marie’s return is imminent. Possibly as the woman Garza has been gifting roses to in his promos the past few weeks.

[Brother Leon]

Keep Goldberg far far away from Roman ffs. WWE can’t have something special without destroying it can they?

[Denver]

Cody and Brandi Rhodes are expecting

[Denver]

Charlotte is expected to be Asuka partner while The Miz is rumoured to be cashing in

[Jordan.]

Carmella has improved a lot in the ring

[Jordan.]

WHY

[Braden]

Honestly, it's incredible how Sasha elevates every person she wrestles against. Not that Carmella isn't good in her own right, but Sasha is just pure talent.

The Women's Tag Team Championship match was probably my favourite since the Elimination Chamber, too.

Brodie Lee has passed away :sad:

https://www.ringsidenews.com/2020/12/26/brodie-lee-passes-away-at-41-years-old/


[AEW broke the news that Brodie Lee,
real name Jon Huber, has died at the age 41 years.
His cause of death is not known at this time.
He leaves behind a wife, Amanda, and two children,
Brodie and Nolan. Brodie Lee Jr was just
at the Holiday Bash taping where
he won the AEW World Title from Kenny Omega.

This is a terrible tragedy, and our thoughts
are with Brodie Lee’s family, friends,
and fans during this time.]



This is a Shocker.

such an emotional show but done so well, hats off to AEW it was a great tribute for Jon/Brodie.

RIP Brodie. Still can’t get over it. :sad:

NXT New Year's Evil is tonight!

Really looking forward to it - especially the return of the repackaged Xia Li and Boa with the debut of the "mysterious woman" from the vignettes with the facepaint.

[LaLaLand]

The Dusty Rhodes Classic is returning, this time there's one for men AND one for the women - winners will probably go on to challenge Asuka/Flair for the Women's Tag Titles.

[LaLaLand]

Rhea vs. Raquel was INSANE.

[Denver]

Damien Preston is getting a call up to SD

[Denver]

Rhea Ripley is being called up after her send off last night

[Jordan.]

Not looking forward to what they'll do with Priest. Rhea will no doubt be sky rocketed though, can see them inserting her into a feud with Charlotte and Asuka if she goes to RAW.

[LaLaLand]

So the Rumble is going ahead as planned, both 30 men and 30 women matches.

How are they gonna do this Covid-wise I wonder? Surely they can't isolate all of them together for a week or whatever before the show - they have RAW/SD!/NXT to do. Probably just be testing on the day, hope for the best.

May I say how ****ing awful Charlotte was throughout that match against The Riott Squad.

I’ve only recently read things about how she doesn’t sell for her opponents, and that match proved it.

Keith was a potential winner so that's ****!

[LaLaLand]

Keith was a potential winner so that's ****!

I know, I’m gutted for him honestly.

I hope this isn’t the beginning of an outbreak though - they tested positive today and I’m assuming both have been training for/rehearsing their respective Rumbles (assuming Mia is in the women’s) and have been in contact with everyone else over the past week at least. :omgno:

[LaLaLand]

UPDATE: Yet TBC if Lee has tested positive, but Yim has (confirmed by herself on Twitter).

I mean considering they live together surely he's gonna have to isolate now just incase right?

[Denver]

So Rhea Ripley is debuting and Lana and Eva Marie will most likely return which leaves 15 spots open in the womens match with NXT rumoured not to be part of it so alot of legends should be expected with Trish already hinting

Kinda wish WWE would have took a leaf out of AEW's book and held the Rumble in a big outdoor/heavily ventilated arena and just have say half attendance (IF THAT, I'd be happy with like 100 people as long as there's real noise!) so that everyone is spread out. I know it's risky and to many completely unethical, but if the Rumble's atmosphere is anything like last WrestleMania then I'll be sad. Just felt like a really overdrawn, dragged-out RAW to me. :sad:

The RR for me is ALL about crowd reaction.

Yes but I notice on AEW ITV4HD
you can see the Evening Sky at times
so it's that special location
that helps them.



It is clever doing one price for 5 Big Events.

REALLY enjoyable, good Rumble.

Only thing I'd have changed would be Santana and also not have Nattie as 30 because what was the point really??

[Denver]

Trish was heavily rumoured and Melina should have had a shot in the match and we didn't need a 3rd Torrie Wilson appearance or a Tamina one

[LaLaLand]

Melina is either having or has had a surgery so was never going to be in.

[Denver]

Melina is either having or has had a surgery so was never going to be in.

I could still think of about 10 unused former female wrestlers they could have used instead of a bloody Torrie Wilson cameo

Leave Torrie alone.

[Denver]

Leave Torrie alone.

Bianca vs Sacha at Mania is black excellence x

Not if Sasha gets her own way

Sasha vs Bianca will snap. I'll be quite surprised if they have Sasha drop the belt though which is why I was half expecting Rhea to win.

Edge and Cristian in the same ****ing RR match

[Denver]

Edge wins the RR from the #1 spot

[LaLaLand]

Meh. I like Edge and all but yeah, he was exhausted after about 15 minutes and spent the rest of the match literally lying on the ring apron.

[Braden]

That women’s Royal Rumble was super-fun. A good mix of talent, old faces, and upcoming superstars.

Of course, the winner deserved it, and I'm so happy Alicia Fox became a titleholder, too :p

[Black Dagger]

Both Rumbles had good winners.

Don't usually like a repeat winner but Edge very much is a feel good winner. They went with the future in the womens so I can allow it.

[Jordan.]

Yeah I'm happy with Edge's win it didn't seem to the detriment of anyone else in the match.

[Calderyon]

Both rumbles we're good.

Both winners too.

Other matches were okay, I guess.

[NICKP]

What a performance from Edge 47 years of age 58 minutes

[Black Dagger]

PWInsider have confirmed Christian is back for a part time run.
