It seems almost every WWE Superstar would love to be John Cena‘s opponent in his final match. John Cenaâ€s final WWE match is quickly approaching. But only one man will get the right to say that they shared the ring with Cena for his final match in December at Saturday Nightâ€s Main Event. While reports suggest Gunther will get this honor, other people continue to throw their names in the hat.

England travel to Indore for their next two games to take on their toughest opponents in India, on Sunday, and Australia on 22 October. Neither are ideal opponents to be facing with batting fragilities to address but the pitches there are expected to be flatter and friendlier to batters. It was Knight's gritty determination which rescued them against Bangladesh and Sciver-Brunt's class ensured they posted a winning total against Sri Lanka, but when both fell early against Pakistan, England could not recover.

Bayley’s trust issues seemed to get the better of her regarding another WWE Superstar.The 36-year-old currently portrays a character who switches between dual personalities. Sometimes she turns into the ‘Hugger’ and sometimes she swings back to being ‘The Role Model,’ who used to dominate the women’s division.She is currently tagging with former Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria, and so far, their partnership hasn’t been the most coherent, with the Irish star often unsure of what to expect next. Their alliance was tested once again on the latest episode of RAW, and while there was some miscommunication, they managed to beat The Judgment Day’s Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez.Later in the week on NXT, Tatum Paxley won the Women’s Battle Royal for the right to face Jacy Jayne for the NXT Women’s Championship. After Paxley’s victory, the Lady of the Opera rushed to the ring to congratulate her former tag team partner.A visibly confused Bayley posted her thoughts about her teammate’s recent reunion with her former partner by taking to X/Twitter. The Role Model’s paranoia seemingly kicked in again, and she sounded upset about not being able to link up with Valkyria again in the future.Check out her tweet below:MAYBE SHE REALLY MEANT THAT TAG MATCH ON MONDAY was A ONE TIME THING………………………………………….. Bayley (@itsBayleyWWE) October 15, 2025Lyra Valkyria and Tatum Paxley had once challenged for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship but were unsuccessful against The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane). A week after NXT Stand and Deliver 2024, the 28-year-old turned on Valkyria after revealing that she only teamed with the latter because of the NXT Women’s Championship.WWE Superstar Bayley Will Share Her Wrestling Expertise In DecemberBayley announced on X/Twitter that she will conduct a three-day women’s wrestling seminar on December 4, 5 and 6 in Orlando, Florida. However, the catch was that participants should have some experience competing in the ring, and there were only limited slots, which would be approved by The Role Model.The seminar will be free, and the accommodation and transportation expenses of all the attendees will be shouldered by the first-ever WWE Women’s Triple Crown and Grand Slam Champion.You can check out the full announcement below:🔔‼ï¸FREE 3 DAY WOMENS WRESTLINGSEMINAR ‼ï¸ðŸ””December 4-6Orlando, FLExperienced women onlyLimited spots availableContact: [email protected] pic.twitter.com/OOrbHV6pE7— Bayley (@itsBayleyWWE) October 6, 2025Bayley ended the announcement by making it clear that only serious inquiries would be entertained, and she was looking forward to seeing her upcoming participants.

Jorge CastilloOct 15, 2025, 07:00 AM ET Close ESPN baseball reporter. Covered the Washington Wizards from 2014 to 2016 and the Washington Nationals from 2016 to 2018 for The Washington Post before covering the Los Angeles Dodgers and MLB for the Los Angeles Times from 2018 to 2024. SIX MONTHS AGO, just seven games into the 2025 season, the Toronto Blue Jays arrived in Queens with uncertainty hovering over Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s future.

They may be 2-1-0, but it doesn’t matter if there isn’t security in net. The New Jersey Devils are no strangers to injured goaltenders. With a tandem of Jake Allen and Jacob Markstrom, two veteran players, the risk of injury is higher. Luckily for the Devils, Nico Daws has been ready to step up since the moment he was drafted in 2020.

AEW World Trios Champion Powerhouse Hobbs recently looked back on the uncertain and frightening period in his life that led to him signing with All Elite Wrestling in 2020. Before becoming a multi-time champion in AEW, Hobbs was facing unemployment during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and was struggling to find work to support his family, which included a newborn daughter. During a new interview with 96.5 The Fan, Hobbs was candid about his initial disbelief when he was first contacted by AEW. “Frightening, because I just got laid off from my job. My daughter was, shoot, a couple months old. So it was like I couldnâ€t get hired anywhere. I applied at fast food spots. They were like, ‘nah.†You know, it was bad, because I was overqualified from what I was told. But man, I got a call and QT Marshall actually texted me and I didnâ€t respond back for like three, four hours. So I thought somebody was ribbing me and I had a text from Cody Rhodes. Then I was just like, I gotta bet on myself at this point. So, the story is already out there, man, it took off. I had a debut match against Orange Cassidy, then my second match was a six man against the Dark Order, and then week after week, I started showing up on Dark and Tony (Khan) gave me that okay, gave me that head nod, that opportunity, which we all want in wrestling. You want that opportunity to prove yourself, and he saw something in me and the rest is history. TNT champ, one third of the Trios Tag Team Champions. Canâ€t complain, man.†He is currently one-third of the reigning AEW World Trios Champions alongside his partners in The Opps, Samoa Joe and Katsuyori Shibata. Source link

If you’re in the market for a new set of clubs, there are a lot of decisions you need to make. First off: What kind of player are you? Are you a higher-handicap player looking for clubs with maximum forgiveness, or a single-digit seeking superior feel and feedback? Are you a brand loyalist, or are you open to testing a number of models to find the right one for you?And even once you know exactly which brand you plan to put in the bag, there are other important customization decisions to make. Graphite or steel shafts? How much flex? The list goes on!As you browse through available options, you may find other descriptors that you aren’t sure about: namely, irons that aee cast versus forged. What do these terms mean, and how can you decide which is best for your game? I asked True Spec’s Marc Roybal to weigh in. Are blended iron sets right for you? An expert explains By: Jessica Marksbury “The difference between cast and forged irons is the manufacturing process,” he said. “Forged golf clubs are made from a single billet of metal and hammered or stamped into shape. Cast clubs are made from liquid metal poured into a mold.”And what does this mean from a performance perspective?“There isn’t a specific player that benefits from either,” Roybal said. “Historically, forged golf clubs were mainly for the elite players. With manufacturing processes improving, there are now plenty of forged golf clubs that fit the higher-handicap player.”So when it comes to selecting clubs for your own game, what’s the best way to decide between cast and forged options? “There is no right or wrong to this question,” Roybal said. “There are plenty of cast and forged irons and wedges that work for every level of player. Generally, a forged golf club will provide a softer feel, while and the cast may feel more firm.”With that in mind, the best way to decide is to test a few different models to see which you prefer.

At a WWE house show in Melbourne on Wednesday, AJ Styles took a moment to thank the Australian fans for the support they’ve given him throughout his career. Styles defeated El Grande Americano at the October 15 live event. It’s likely the last time Styles will ever compete in Australia, with him planning to retire from the ring at some point in 2026.

Russell Westbrook's extended free agency is finally, mercifully over. With less than a week to go before the 2025-26 regular season tips off, the Sacramento Kings agreed on a one-year, veteran minimum deal with the future Hall of Famer, per ESPN's Shams Charania. The only real question this answers is which team will Westbrook play for this season. A handful of other questions persist.

SEATTLE -- The Mariners are heading home on the cusp of history, while the Blue Jays know they must take care of business on the road in order to force this American League Championship Series back to Canada. With consecutive road wins to open the ALCS, Seattle has grabbed control of this October showdown as it returns to one of baseballâ€s most electric atmospheres at T-Mobile Park, where crowds roared through every pitch of the ALDS against the Tigers.

Oct 15, 2025, 12:13 PM ET ROME -- Forget about thin ice. For now, there's no ice. With NHL players preparing to return to the Olympics for the first time in more than a decade, construction on the main hockey arena for the Milan-Cortina Games is going down to the wire. Local organizers told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the main test event for the 16,000-seat Santagiulia arena that was scheduled for December has been moved to a smaller arena and that no new test event has been scheduled.

WWE Throughout the last two weeks, viewership for professional wrestling has significantly decreased after Nielsen introduced its new "Big Data + Panel" model, which aims to deliver more accurate information for cable and broadcast ratings going forward. Last week, "SmackDown" was heavily affected by the change, as the show drew one of its lowest viewership figures in history outside of a few pre-empted episodes that were televised on FS1.

Jeff CarlisleOct 15, 2025, 07:38 AM ET Close Jeff Carlisle covers MLS and the U.S. national team for ESPN FC.

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel is known for his hard-nosed coaching style, so it's not surprising that he wasn't feeling sentimental when he was fired by the Tennessee Titans two years ago.

Weâ€re less than a week away from regular season NBA basketball! The 2025-26 NBA season tips off on NBC and Peacock with a doubleheader on October 21, as the Lakers face the Warriors and the Rockets face the Thunder. As we navigate the final week of the preseason, the Rotoworld crew got together to host a 12-team, 9-category mock draft with some of the best and brightest minds in the fantasy basketball industry.

The WWBA World Championship in Jupiter, Fla. once again lived up to its reputation as the ultimate proving ground for prep talent. While the weekend featured plenty of familiar, headline draft names, it also served as a launching pad for a group of under-the-radar players who either showed off exciting tools or delivered true breakout performances. This list focuses on that second group—the prospects who may not yet be household names in the draft community but left lasting impressions with evaluators.

ROME — Forget about thin ice. For now, thereâ€s no ice. With NHL players preparing to return to the Olympics for the first time in more than a decade, construction on the main hockey arena for the Milan-Cortina Games is going down to the wire. Local organizers confirmed to The Associated Press on Wednesday that the main test event for the 16,000-seat Santagiulia arena that was scheduled for December has been moved to a smaller arena — and that no new test event has been scheduled yet. The issue raises the prospect that there might not be a game held in the main arena until the puck is dropped for the womenâ€s preliminary round competition at the Olympics on Feb. 5 — one day before the opening ceremony. “Itâ€s going to be very close to the start of the games, the timeline is very tight. But we knew that,†Milan-Cortina local organizing committee CEO Andrea Varnier said recently. The event that was supposed to test the Santagiulia ice was part of the under-20 world championship from Dec. 8-14. That event has been moved to the Rho Fiera hockey venue, which is being set up inside a giant convention centre on Milanâ€s outskirts and will host secondary matches during the games. Usually, new Olympic venues are tested at least the year before hosting medal events. And with a large hockey arena, it's not just about the ice and making sure that the playing surface is ready and safe. It's also about testing concession stands, bathrooms and everything else inside a brand-new modern arena. The Santagiulia venue, which is being built by a private company, is slated to become Italyâ€s largest indoor arena. For after the Olympics, itâ€s being eyed as a possible future host of the ATP Finals tennis event. Despite the delays and concerns, high-priced tickets are already being sold for events at the Santagiulia arena. Seats for the menâ€s gold medal game on Feb. 22 — the closing day of the games — are going for as much as 1,400 euros (more than $1,600). Thatâ€s more than for any other sports event at the Milan-Cortina Games. Only tickets for the opening and closing ceremonies cost more. The return of NHL players at the Olympics was announced last February, with the worldâ€s top hockey league allowing its players to participate in the Winter Games for the first time since 2014 in Sochi. The menâ€s Olympic hockey tournament is scheduled to run from Feb. 11-22. The womenâ€s tournament runs from Feb. 5-19. Source link

If he wanted to, Rory McIlroy could probably play an extra wedge this week at the DP World India Championship. With the DP World Tour event being contested at claustrophobic Delhi Golf Club, McIlroy said Wednesday during his media availability that he planned to dial it back for his first-ever start in India. “Iâ€d say that the next time I hit my driver will be in Abu Dhabi,†said McIlroy, who led the PGA Tour in strokes gained off the tee this year.

Dwayne “The Rock†Johnson is proving once again that he doesnâ€t take shortcuts — especially when it comes to transforming for a role. In a new Instagram post, the wrestling icon-turned-actor shared a behind-the-scenes time-lapse video of his intense transformation into MMA legend Mark Kerr for the film The Smashing Machine. The clip shows Johnson sitting through a grueling four-hour process each morning, applying extensive prosthetics and makeup to become Kerr. He explained the daily ritual in the caption: “Transformation into The Smashing Machine. 4 hours in the make up chair, every morning. 22 prosthetics (eyes, face, forehead, scars, cauliflower ears, wig).†But for The Rock, the transformation wasnâ€t just skin deep. He made it clear this physical change helped him mentally step into Kerrâ€s complicated life. “By the time I got to set, I felt I was already in Mark Kerrâ€s skin. How he walked, talked, and how he violently, yet tenderly navigated life and dealt with his demons.†He also took a moment to express his gratitude for the real-life man behind the story: “Iâ€m forever grateful to Mark for living a life, so we could all feel it.†Johnson didnâ€t do it alone. He credited his team of special effects experts, including Kazuhiro Tsuji, Brooklyn Allen, Glen Griffin, Spring Kun, and Nikki Solow — all responsible for the jaw-dropping transformation thatâ€s already earning Oscar buzz. The Smashing Machine tells the story of Mark Kerrâ€s rise in the MMA world, along with his personal battles with addiction and relationships. Though the film faced a rocky opening at the box office, critics have praised Johnsonâ€s performance as one of the most powerful of his career. Would you sit through 4 hours of prosthetics to pull off a role like this? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below. Source link

England avoided a shock defeat by Pakistan at the Women's World Cup, being saved by heavy rain in Colombo. An inspired bowling performance from Pakistan saw England slump to 79-7 after 25 overs before the first heavy downpour began. After a lengthy delay, the rain eased and play resumed at 31 overs per side, with England posting 133-9 after a useful stand of 47 between Charlie Dean, who top-scored with 33, and Em Arlott.
