WWE legend John Bradshaw Layfield hails AAA the 'hottest program in the world right now'
WWE acquired Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA) before WrestleMania 41 in 2025 and the Mexican promotion’s growth over the last year may be one of the underrated stories in pro wrestling over the last 15 months.
AAA garnered a ton of attention with the buildup to its Mask vs. Mask match between El Grande Americano and Original El Grande Americano, Worlds Collide in June 2025 was a great way to introduce to re-introduce Lucha Libre to an American audience and TripleMania is going to be a two-night event for the first time in the company’s history.

"I think it’s the hottest program in the world right now. It’s unbelievable. They got incredible characters," WWE Hall of Famer John Bradshaw Layfield told Fox News Digital in a recent interview.
He recalled working in Mexico early in his career and how incredible the energy was in the country when he would perform there.
"I’d go down there and work and people have thought since then if Lucha Libre ever takes off, as I’d always say this is a sleeping giant, I think what people are now starting to see what we’ve known all along about Lucha Libre is just fantastic. There’s Incredible characters. There’s incredible passion, especially with the Mexican fans. I’ve always enjoyed working down there. I always say you gotta work in a few arenas to make it in life. You gotta work at the Sportatorium, you gotta work at Staples Center, you gotta work at The Garden, you gotta work in Budokan, you gotta work in Earls Court – anywhere in Mexico is like that.

"It’s just unbelievable. The passion that the people have down there – I love it. And I just think that AAA has done an incredible job. Jeremy Borash, who is incredibly talented, Undertaker, who is a good friend of mine and also a very smart guy, I believe they’ve just done an incredible job with the product."
Mask vs. Mask was one of the first major hits since the WWE acquisition was announced.
It saw El Grande Americano defeat Original El Grande Americano, who later revealed himself to be Chad Gable. The match had everything a pro wrestling fan could want – incredible characters, exciting buildup and one of the best matches of the year.
Bradshaw said there were two matches he’s seen in his career that he thought the men in the ring were doing a "different art form." – Fit Finlay vs. Tony St. Clair in Europe and Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker at WrestleMania 25. He said the Mask vs. Mask match felt very much the same.
"I felt the same way with Mask vs. Mask. I never thought I’d see another match (like that)," Bradshaw said. "I was hoping I would but I don’t know if I’d ever see a match like I saw with Finlay and St. Clair and Undertaker and Shawn Michaels. I’d put that in that category. I just thought it was absolutely incredible. The passion, the emotion that went with it. Everything about it worked."
Now, El Grande Americano has a new challenge – the revitalization of Los Perros del Mal.
The group recently reformed with Daga, Angel, Berto, Bronco Nima and Karmen Petrovic wreaking havoc on the AAA roster.
Bradshaw said he was looking forward to seeing where the new story goes.
"It just kills me with Los Perros del Mal. It’s kinda like in episodic television like in ‘The Walking Dead’ when the governor dies and it’s like, ‘What are you gonna do now?’ And then all of sudden you have a new villain," he told Fox News Digital. "The first day of the next season and you go, ‘Oh great! This is awesome.’ I’m watching ‘Blacklist’ and as soon as they get rid of one villain you have another one comes in. … And you’re thinking what could top that?
"As soon as we got done with Mask vs. Mask, Jeremy Borash starts bringing back Los Perros del Mal – this incredible group. That visual of them there, I just thought, my God, man, this is awesome. Now we got something for, I don’t know how long, the next year or whatever long it is. But this is an incredible new journey it’s gonna look like for El Grande Americano."

Top Platner ally turns on him after bombshell rape allegation rocks campaign: 'Red line'
Support for embattled Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner is cratering among Democrats, with one of his most prominent supporters calling on him to exit the race following a harrowing rape allegation.
Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., rescinded his endorsement and called on Platner to suspend his campaign following a bombshell Politico report detailing a rape allegation by Maine resident Jenny Racicot, 41, who previously dated the scandal-plagued candidate.
Platner immediately denied Racicot's account — which alleges that he barged into her home in 2021 and forced her to have unprotected sex — but has said his campaign is determining its next steps.
"I’ve been very clear that sexual assault or violence against women is a red line," Khanna said in a post on social media Monday evening. "These allegations are very serious and credible. Graham Platner should drop out from the race. I am withdrawing my endorsement."
DEMOCRATS BREAK WITH SCANDAL-PLAGUED GRAHAM PLATNER, WARN OF 'CIVIL WAR' IN PARTY
The blistering statement comes as Khanna, a far-left populist with likely presidential ambitions, had embraced Platner's insurgent Senate campaign for months amid a patchwork of controversies.
Khanna personally campaigned with the Maine Senate hopeful in June shortly before Platner won the Democratic primary nomination. The campaign stop came just one day after Lyndsey Fifield, a former Platner girlfriend, accused Platner of abuse — an allegation first reported by The New York Times that Platner has fiercely denied.
By that point, Platner was also facing scrutiny for sending sexually explicit messages to at least half a dozen women while married, making a plethora of offensive online statements over the period of a decade and getting a Nazi-linked tattoo that he wore for most of his adult life.
Khanna previously appeared to dismiss the severity of Fifield’s account alongside many Democratic lawmakers, who seized on her background in Republican politics. He also argued that Platner, a combat veteran who has struggled with PTSD, had overcome a dark past and was deserving of redemption.
"Here you have a case of someone who had a dark chapter in his life, was in toxic relationships, was ashamed about it, who served this country, and the Maine voters are saying, ‘Look, let’s give him some grace, and his focus is stopping these wars, and it’s getting national health insurance, and it’s taking on economic inequality," Khanna told CBS News in an interview.

And Khanna told Fox News’ Martha MacCallum in June that he asked Platner if there were any credible allegations of sexual assault that had yet to be revealed. He said Platner denied it.
"I made it clear that, for me, is a red line," the California lawmaker said. "And he said, no, there is not."
"Now, obviously, he had texts that were allegedly consensual, and while he was married, And that's a matter for him and his wife. And his wife came out and said that she forgave him. And so that is a different matter for me than abuse or assault or what people did in the Epstein class. It's a very different matter."
Khanna was not the only prominent Platner supporter to disavow the Senate hopeful following Monday's rape allegation.
Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., rescinded his endorsement Monday evening, but stopped short of calling on Platner to exit the race.
Gallego, a former ally of disgraced ex-Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., has faced scrutiny over his past treatment of women. The Senate Ethics Committee recently dismissed a complaint brought by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., in a bipartisan manner.
Far-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, who has championed socialist candidates across the country, also distanced himself from Platner on Monday.
"This is beyond red flags. This is irredeemable ," Piker said during his livestream.
Fox News Digital reached out to Platner’s campaign for comment.
Hasan Piker turns on Platner, says he believes sexual assault accuser and predicts 'curtains' for campaign
Progressive media darling Hasan Piker is predicting "curtains" for Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner after a sexual assault allegation rocked the political landscape Monday.
Piker, the popular far-left Twitch host who many Democratic hopefuls have courted for support, reacted to the explosive claim made by Platner ex Jenny Racicot while reading Politico's report on his livestream.
The host was particularly alarmed when he read that Politico "also spoke with a man Racicot dated and confided in the years after the alleged incident, and reviewed documents, including emails between Racicot and her therapist and messages between Racicot and an acquaintance whom she warned against getting involved with Platner years before he ran for office."
"That is curtains," Piker told his audience. "That is the trifecta, ok? That is the trifecta of a reliable allegation. It's — holy s---."
"Personal first-hand testimony to a friend, a close confidant, back from way before Graham Platner ever f---ing ran for Congress? And also direct testimony from a therapist?" Pike continued, later adding, "I believe this, this accusation. I believe this allegation."
‘HE HATED WOMEN’: EXPLOSIVE ABUSE, NEW NAZI TATTOO ALLEGATIONS FROM EXES ROCK PLATNER'S CAMPAIGN
Others in the liberal media are also taking aim at Platner and speculating on how much longer he will last on the campaign trail.
"If these allegations are true, to this extent, I don’t see how he can be the nominee for senator in Maine for the Democratic Party," MS NOW host Luke Russert reacted to the breaking news.
FORMER PRIMARY RIVAL RESURFACES TO CHALLENGE SCANDAL-PLAGUED GRAHAM PLATNER IN MAINE SENATE RACE
The Bulwark's Tim Miller blasted Graham's video statement saying his campaign is "taking time to reflect on the best path forward."
"I’m sorry but 'we are taking time to reflect on the best path forward' is not an option on the table," Miller wrote on X. "Either it’s false and you campaign with vigor or it’s true and you get out / apologize to everyone you let down."
"Platner needs to drop out ASAP - these are awful, credible allegations," Pod Save America co-host Jon Favreau said. "It's now abundantly clear that he just hasn't been honest about his past and can't be trusted as a candidate for office. Saving grace is that the party can find a replacement by the 27th as long as he drops by the 13th, which I very much assume he will."
The Platner campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
Search called off after body matching missing teen Nolan Wells found off Mississippi coast
The search for a Mississippi teen who went missing over the holiday weekend has been called off after a body matching his description was recovered Monday morning, officials said.
Jackson County Sheriff John Ledbetter confirmed that a body was discovered in the water at about 8:45 a.m. local time Monday, just off shore on the northwest end of Horn Island, according to a report from the New York Post.
While official identification is still pending, Ledbetter told the outlet the recovery "does match the description" of Nolan Xavier Wells, 18.
The grassroots volunteer group United Cajun Navy announced Monday afternoon that search efforts had ceased.
US MARINE MISSING OFF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST AFTER TRAINING EXERCISE; SEARCH SHIFTS TO RECOVERY
"On behalf of the United Cajun Navy, we extend our deepest condolences to Nolan’s family, friends, teammates, and everyone whose lives were touched by him," the organization wrote in a statement on Facebook. "We are grateful that Nolan’s family entrusted us to assist in this search."
"... Our teams were proud to provide aerial search operations, boats, and boots on the ground in support of the effort," the organization continued. "Please continue to keep Nolan’s loved ones in your prayers as they grieve this devastating loss. Rest easy, Nolan. You will not be forgotten."
NAVY SUSPENDS SEARCH FOR SAILOR WHO WENT MISSING WHEN HELICOPTER WENT DOWN IN ARABIAN SEA
Wells was last seen on the Fourth of July near Horn Island, according to authorities. A photo shared with police showed the teen smiling with friends on a boat that afternoon.
Search teams from the Jackson County Sheriff's Department, Department of Marine Resources, Gulf Islands National Seashore and U.S. Coast Guard combed the island and surrounding waters, establishing a centralized command post at the Lake Mars Boat Launch in Ocean Springs to coordinate the multi-agency effort.
Following the discovery of the body, Wells’ mother shared an emotional message on Facebook.
"His father, our family, friends and I are absolutely devastated," Christine Wonsley wrote. "My heart [is] broken for my sweet son who was always willing to cheer and uplift others. Nolan was a special soul, God took his time creating our son. I ask that you please give me and my family time to grieve."
Wonsley and her husband previously posted updates pleading for any photos or videos from the Fourth of July to help track Wells’ last known movements.
"We have so many questions," she wrote prior to the recovery of the body. "Our hearts are breaking, we keep waiting for Nolan to walk through that door with his beautiful smile and a joke of course."
Amid their grief, the family is also warning the community about online scammers attempting to capitalize on the tragedy.
"I want you all to know a GoFund Me HAS NOT been created by myself, husband, family or friends," Wonsley wrote in a separate post. "So if you see any please report that is not authentic. We will notify everyone if we choose to create one."
The Jackson County Sheriff’s Department did not immediately respond to inquiries from Fox News Digital.
Report warns Russia using shadow fleet to probe NATO drone defenses
As NATO allies prepare to meet in Turkey, at the top of their agenda will be drone warfare and Russia's testing of the NATO alliance.
Using its shadow fleet of old sanction-busting ships, Russia appears to have launched drones at European military bases and airports to test the reaction time of NATO allies and their air defenses, according to a new report published by the International Institute of Strategic Studies, or IISS.
Between August 2024 and February 2026, 144 suspected drones were recorded near sensitive military and nuclear sites in Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK, and Denmark, and over American air bases in the UK in November 2024.
UKRAINE’S BATTLEFIELD IS TRANSFORMING THE FUTURE OF NATO
"There's no doubt in my mind that the Russians are using the shadow fleet vessels as a platform to get different types of drones in closer to various European countries," said Ret. Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, who served as the commanding general of US Army Europe until 2018.
In Germany there were more than 1,000 suspicious drone sightings in 2025, over German defense companies and military bases where Ukrainian soldiers were training in Germany.
"Whoever is doing it is testing the reaction of the authorities, is testing how the public will respond, will they panic, will they blame their politicians and the authorities," asked Elisabeth Braw of the Atlantic Council. "Also they are testing perhaps to see how we as European countries or how European countries might react in a real crisis there."
This spate of unmanned aerial vehicles occurred in air space over a dozen NATO states and Ireland, the report states, "forcing repeated closures of major commercial aviation hubs, disrupting military operations and penetrating the perimeters of some of Europe’s most sensitive defence installations."
In 2025, mystery drones targeted military bases in the Netherlands and Belgium where the US is thought to base its B61-12 nuclear gravity bombs and France’s ballistic-missile submarine base at Île Longue.
"It's a combination of espionage," Hodges said. "But also psychologically to create a lot of anxiety in populations to scare them so that they would put pressure on their governments not to support Ukraine."
RUSSIAN GENERALS' ASSASSINATIONS EXPOSE GROWING RIFT INSIDE PUTIN'S SECURITY APPARATUS
The Russian drone campaign appears designed to probe the response times and decision-making thresholds of allied air defense and civil-military command structures.
It also seeks to identify vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure, including dual-use civilian facilities, military logistics hubs supporting Ukraine, and sites associated with the Alliance's nuclear deterrence.
Additionally, the campaign aims to impose economic and psychological costs on European societies by disrupting civilian aviation, undermining public confidence in airspace security, and fostering distrust and panic. Finally, it appears intended to normalize low-level airspace violations that remain below the threshold likely to trigger a direct Allied military response.
Those sightings peaked in late 2025, and forced the temporary closure of several European airports, including in Germany, Spain and Denmark.
Sweden is the only European country to accuse Moscow directly after a drone launched at sea from a Russian spy ship flew near a French aircraft carrier.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has denied accusations of Russian sabotage and surveillance across Europe.
"What’s the point of all this," Putin asked of reporters recently. "Name even one proven fact."
AMERICA'S POWER GRID, FOOD SUPPLY AND MORE ARE UNDER THREAT FROM DRONES
But IISS tracked the locations of Russia's shadow fleet of ships used to evade sanctions and linked them to recent high-profile drone incidents, concluding that Russia could use the ships as a platform to launch the drones while creating deniability. Drones often don't trigger radar.
On Jan. 3, 2025, a Russian shadow fleet vessel, the Arctica, sailed along the Danish coast, while 20 drones flew over the port of Koege, Denmark, before disappearing at sea.
On Sept. 22, drone sightings led to the closure of Copenhagen Airport. The IISS found several shadow ships were in the area at the time, including the Arctica and the Boracay.
And it is not just in Europe. Dozens of unexplained drone sightings also have taken place in the U.S. in the past several years.
In December 2023 at Virginia's Joint Base Langley-Eustis unauthorized aircraft appeared in the skies above the base for 17 days straight, evading military tracking and forcing the Pentagon to bring in specialized assets — including a NASA WB-57 high-altitude jet — to investigate.
In March drones flew near Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, home of the B- 52 H Stratofortress bomber, where drones came in a pattern to suggest they were attempting to avoid the operator or operators being located. Lights on the drones suggested the operators may be testing security responses at the base.
Panicked sightings of drones near critical infrastructure along the East Coast of the United States in late 2024 led to the Trump administration ordering the declassification of these investigations shortly after the inauguration to ease public concern, concluding the drones were mostly those of hobbyists and that there was no evidence of a foreign threat related to the majority of reported sightings.
The IISS says these are no hobbyists threatening NATO allies in Europe, with the most likely culprit launching the drones from shadow vessels at sea.
Cristiano Ronaldo exits World Cup as Spain defeats Portugal, awaits winner of USA-Belgium
Cristiano Ronaldo's time representing Portugal at the FIFA World Cup may have come to an end in Dallas on Monday afternoon, as Spain advanced to the quarterfinals, 1-0, at their expense.
Mikel Merino came off Spain’s bench and electrified the World Cup crowd in stoppage time during the second half when he finally broke the 0-0 tie for the decisive goal past Portuguese goalkeeper Diogo Costa.
Ronaldo, who never knocked on Spain’s doorstep in this match – no team has as they have yet to give up a goal in this tournament – stared into the crowd after a few desperation attempts weren’t good enough for Portugal as the final whistle rang out.

Ronaldo played in his fifth World Cup, and though there was some heated debate about whether he should be starting for this squad, he leaves perhaps his last tournament of his illustrious career with three more goals on this stage under his belt.
While Ronaldo and his Portuguese teammates think about what could’ve been, Spain will await the winner of Team USA and Belgium, which will play their Round of 16 match in Seattle on Monday night.
WATCH THE WORLD CUP FINAL ON FOX ONE
The big story out of the Pacific Northwest is Folarin Balogun, the USMNT star striker who will be available to play after his red card was changed to a suspension – a similar FIFA disciplinary action given to Ronaldo so that he could participate in this World Cup.
It’s been the talk of the tournament, as President Donald Trump said he called FIFA president Gianni Infantino to ask for a review of the controversial red card given in the Round of 32 matchup against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ultimately, FIFA invoked Article 27 of its disciplinary code, much to the dislike of multiple soccer federations, including the Belgian group they are facing off against tonight.
The U.S. still took care of Bosnia and Herzegovina despite Balogun’s red card during the match, which had them down one man on the pitch compared to their opponent. Malik Tillman’s free kick goal was the nail in the coffin in the second half, as the USMNT moved on with a 2-0 victory and looked ahead to their meeting with Belgium.
FOX ONE’S NEW WORLD CUP VIEWING EXPERIENCE
Belgium almost didn’t make it out of the Round of 32, but almost doesn’t count in the World Cup. Senegal had been up 2-0 in the 80th minute of the match when Belgium finally came to life thanks to goals by Romelu Lukaku and Youri Tielemans in the 85th and 89th minutes, respectively.
It forced extra time and Senegal ultimately conceded a penalty kick with just ticks left on the clock before a penalty shootout would’ve determined who advanced in the tournament. Tielemans didn’t waste the opportunity, slamming the door on Senegal’s hopes in crushing fashion.
While Team USA and Belgium prepare for their matchup, Spain will kick its feet up, and perhaps pull out a notepad, as they watch who they will play in the quarterfinals later this week.

Kylian Mbappe blasts 'despicable' Paraguayan senator over vile 'colonized Cameroonian' slur
French soccer star Kylian Mbappe is at the center of an international uproar after a Paraguayan senator posted racist remarks about him following France's World Cup win over Paraguay.
The controversy began July 4 in Philadelphia, when Mbappe scored on a 70th-minute penalty to lift France to a 1-0 victory.
After the final whistle, a photo of Mbappe celebrating in front of Paraguayan goalkeeper Orlando Gill quickly spread across social media.
THIS 'AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL' RENDITION BEFORE THE FRANCE VS PARAGUAY MATCH WILL GIVE YOU GOOSEBUMPS
Paraguayan Sen. Celeste Amarilla, a member of Paraguay's Liberal Radical Party, then posted some pretty wild remarks about the soccer star.
On X, Amarilla called Mbappe a "brute," claimed he grew up "sucking on coconuts" instead of breast milk and said the most educated creatures he knew were chimpanzees.
She also said Gill should have given Mbappe the middle finger, adding that she does it in the senate and "nothing happens."
NATIONALS PITCHER FORCED TO APOLOGIZE FOR PERCEIVED RACISM AFTER OPPONENT THREW HIS HELMET AT HIM
On Instagram, Amarilla called Mbappe "a colonized Cameroonian pretending to be French." She described him as resentful, newly rich, arrogant and ugly, and complained that Paraguay's players did not slap him after the match.
Mbappe responded on X on Monday, calling Amarilla "a despicable woman" who is unworthy of her office while defending Paraguay's national team.
"You do not represent Paraguay, that country which has sweated passion and honor throughout the competition," Mbappe wrote. He added that Amarilla's "recklessness and your brazen racism" had caused the world to forget Paraguay's historic World Cup run, saying she had become "an incompetent woman who gives the worst possible image of her country."

Mbappe added that her "recklessness and brazen racism" had caused the world to forget Paraguay's historic World Cup run. He called Amarilla "an incompetent woman who gives the worst possible image of her country" and vowed not to let people like her spread hatred unchecked.
The French Football Federation condemned Amarilla's remarks.
Federation President Philippe Diallo called the senator's comments "vile, criminal and reprehensible." The federation said it fully supports its captain and filed a complaint with prosecutors, requesting a formal hate crime investigation into Amarilla's posts.

Kate Gosselin called a 'monster' in social media comments after son Collin announces memoir
Kate Gosselin is facing renewed scrutiny after her 22-year-old son, Collin, announced his upcoming memoir, reigniting public interest in the family's long-running feud.
While Gosselin's social media content has remained primarily focused on her rescue dogs, the announcement of Collin's book has ignited a wave of critical comments from users who have used her posts as an opportunity to raise questions about her parenting, with one going as far as to call her a "monster."
"Hey I grew up watching the show ["Jon & Kate Plus 8"] and always knew you were a monster," one user commented on one of Gosselin's recent TikTok videos.
"Better care of dogs than kids is certainly a choice," another noted.
"Jeez, you send everyone away. The dog, the kid. At least you're taking the dog back i guess."
"Rescue a dog, but throw away a kid," another wrote.

However, many users have been quick to defend her.
"One mom to another sending you love! I pray for your peace I know how much you love your children all of them," one wrote.
"None of us should be judging Kate," another added. "As a mom I cant imagine what she must be feeling."
"My heart is with you Kate. I can only imagine the heartache you have to carry due to ungrateful adult kids," one user added. "Only a mother knows all the sacrifice and dedication it takes throughout the years. Keep your head up Kate."
Fox News Digital has reached out to Gosselin's rep for comment.
Last month, the 51-year-old former reality TV star responded to comments referencing claims Collin made against her, alleging she "forced" him and his seven siblings apart and "pitted them against each other" as they were growing up.

"If you are 100% certain that the accusations against you are lies, my suggestion would be to take him to court and sue him for defamation!" one fan wrote. Kate responded, "I can’t bc I’m a public figure. Rules are different unfortunately. Or I def would!"
She later responded to another comment, saying, "Sadly, Only parents who have a mentally ill child understand! It’s so tough and I’m learning that ppl have NO ability to understand unless they’ve been through it themselves."
Collin's tell-all memoir, "In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood," is set to be released in October. He recently posted the cover of the book — which features him as a child with his mom covering his mouth with her hand — writing, "For a long time, I wasn’t sure I’d ever tell this story."
"Growing up, millions of people watched my life on television. People felt like they knew me. They knew my family. They watched me grow up. But there was so much they never saw," he wrote in the caption. "For years, I kept those experiences to myself. Some because I was afraid. Some because I didn’t think anyone would believe me. And some because I just wasn’t ready."
Collin added, "Writing this book forced me to revisit some of the hardest moments of my life, but it also gave me something I’ve been searching for for a long time: my voice. This isn’t the story people think they know. It’s the story I’ve lived."

Marcellus Wiley's wife claims ex-NFL star threatened to kill her before Fourth of July domestic battery arrest
Ex-NFL edge rusheer Marcellus Wiley allegedly threatened to kill his wife prior to his domestic battery arrest on the Fourth of July.
An arrest affidavit, obtained by the New York Post, details Wiley’s wife, Annemarie, calling police to report a battery following an altercation at the World Marriott in Orlando, Florida.
Annemarie, who used to star on "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," claims her husband threatened to kill her and got physical in front of their seven-year-old daughter.

The Wiley family, which included their two other children, were at the hotel for a basketball tournament. Their children, as well as others, were in the room when officers arrived at the scene.
The arrest affidavit also has Annemarie saying she wanted her husband removed from the room because of the threat against her life. She also noted her plan to divorce him.
ATTORNEY FOR DENVER BRONCOS DEFENDER JONATHON COOPER PLAYS RACE CARD IN DOMESTIC ABUSE CASE
Annemarie claims that, on Friday morning, the one-time Pro Bowl defensive end stood over her and "used one finger to sternly and intentionally poke her in the cheek," all while in front of their daughter.
Annemarie alleged a history of past violence toward her, though it was never reported to law enforcement.
For Wiley’s account, he said they didn’t have a physical altercation while at the hotel, and denied the past violent history. He also provided officers with text messages between himself and his wife, which police noted as cordial.
He also posted on social media, saying, "I completely and unequivocally deny these allegations, and I'm certain the truth will prevail."
"As you know, I’m usually the first to break down the truth and separate facts from fiction. But because this is now a legal matter—and because my greatest responsibility is protecting my babies, who have already been impacted—I have to handle this differently.
"When I can speak freely, I absolutely will [100 emoji]."
Wiley was arrested by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office on Saturday, court records showed. He was held without bond at the time.
This arrest of Wiley, 51, comes after a recent Rolling Stone article, which cited accusations of sexual assault by four women in April 2026.
Wiley was also previously sued by three women for allegedly raping them while at Columbia, where he played college football. He denied those allegations on his "More To It with Marcellus Wiley" podcast, claiming to have evidence to prove what he called "alleged misrepresentations."
Wiley had also called the allegations while at Columbia "B.S."
The Rolling Stone article notes two of the women who claim Wiley sexually assaulted them came forward between 1995-1999.
There was another woman who claimed that Wiley groomed her since she was 13 years old during his time playing for the Buffalo Bills. Then, she claims that Wiley raped her when she was 18 in Dallas. She claims to have been flown out by Wiley as he was playing for the Cowboys, per Rolling Stone.
"Marcellus Wiley raped me on my 18th birthday, after grooming me from the age of 13," the victim wrote, adding that he referred to her as ‘little momma.’ "If Columbia had properly pursued the complaints… I would never have been groomed and raped."
Also, a woman who used to be a production assistant at ESPN – Wiley has worked as a broadcaster for ESPN and Fox Sports – alleged Wiley deceived her about joining him in a hotel room for a working meeting in 2009. But she claims h sexually assaulted her during that time.
"The assault was devastating to me, and I will live with the effects to this day," the fourth woman wrote in a court filing, per Rolling Stone.
Wiley was the 52nd overall pick of the 1997 NFL Draft out of Columbia, landing with the Bills where he would play for his first four NFL seasons.
But Wiley earned his first and only Pro Bowl nod in 2001 with the San Diego Chargers, where he would star for three years. He also played with the Cowboys and Jacksonville Jaguars before his playing career came to an end after the 2006 season.
