Rising Stars and Veterans

Alongside these legends, WWE has been nurturing talents like L.A. Knight, regarded as one of the fastest-rising stars, and AJ Styles, who continues to perform at his peak.

What About Randy Orton?

Potential Matchup at the Elimination Chamber

Johnny North speculated that we might see Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton at the Elimination Chamber.

UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House

Colby’s Gone, Dana’s Wrong, and UFC Freedom 250 Has Real Problems

Three stories are colliding in MMA right now, and none of them are particularly flattering for the sport. Colby Covington is out of the UFC after going once-a-year for five years and losing four of his last six — then finding himself off the White House guest list despite being Trump’s loudest MMA supporter for a decade. Trump’s actual favorite fighter? Khabib. UFC Freedom 250 is June 14 on the White House lawn with Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje and Alex Pereira vs. Cyril Gane, but the UFC is running its own judges with no government athletic commission in place, it’s going to be 80-plus degrees outside with insects swarming the lights, and 50,000 people are watching on outdoor screens nearby.
