The buildup of this show was, well, lacklustre at best, and WWE has a humongous uphill task at their hand to present a successful show after a disappointing build. Ahead of the show, a lot of focus is on the future of Brock Lesnar, who is rumoured to leave WWE after his match with Roman Reigns for the Universal. Similarly, Daniel Bryan’s future with the company is also generating a huge amount of buzz ahead of his clash with The Miz....

“We are thrilled to bring WWE’s biggest event of the summer back to Toronto,” said John Saboor, WWE EVP, special events, in a statement. “We look forward to working with our partners at Tourism Toronto and Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment to build a blueprint that welcomes our global fan base to the great city of Toronto.” With around 100 days left for the event, I’m sure WWE creative heads have started planning out the major angles and matches for SummerSlam this year....

Arsenal held on to a 1 goal lead in a pulsating encounter at the Stadium of Light. The Gunners were down to 10 men for the last half an hour after Carl Jenkinson was sent off for his 2nd yellow. Wenger was forced into changes due to injury woes in the defence. Sagna shifted to centre back with Koscienly pulling out late. Jenkinson came in at right back with Monreal and Mertersacker filling the remaining slots....

“It’s done wonders for Indian cricket. The BCCI deserves accolade for setting up the tournament and making it successful. You can set up a tournament but to make it successful like this you need special efforts,” said the southpaw. Even as he picked quite a few teams as his favourite, Ganguly said KKR will always remain special. “While there are quite a few favourite teams, KKR is special as I captained the side for two years,” said Ganguly, who led the city franchise in 2008 and 2009....

Police said Tucker’s breath test registered .201; Arizona’s limit is .08. A blood test taken later showed Tucker’s BAC at .222. Both figures fall into the category of super extreme DUI, the most severe DUI charge in Arizona, according to the Republic. If convicted, Tucker could be sentenced to 45 days in jail, the Republic noted. The sentence could be reduced significantly if an ignition lock is installed and Tucker serves a house arrest, the Republic reported....

While Sarver’s fine is the largest in NBA history, notable names around the league have expressed their disappointment in him remaining as a team owner following his suspension, including Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James and Suns point guard Chris Paul. Echoing their sentiments is Suns minority owner Jahm Najafi, who today called for Sarver’s resignation. “I am calling for the resignation of Robert Sarver,” Najafi said in a statement....

The Bucks evened things at two games apiece on Wednesday night with a thrilling 109-103 win over the Suns. Milwaukee survived an offensive explosion from Phoenix star Devin Booker, who scored 42 points on 17-of-28 shooting in Game 4. Unfortunately for Booker, the Suns’ other four starters combined for just 38 points. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton unsurprisingly led the way for the Bucks. Middleton outscored the Suns 10-4 over the final two minutes and 15 seconds of regulation on his way to a 40-point outing, and Antetokounmpo totaled 26 points, 14 rebounds, eight assists, three steals and two blocks, one of which left NBA Twitter in complete awe....

As the air grew tense around the Emirates, the camera swung dramatically, it revealed none other than the infamous André Santos, as he stripped down and began to prepare to being subbed on. You could almost hear the stereotypical villain music crescendo as each second of Santos’ unveiling passed. In recent weeks, our cuddly little maverick has been subject to unfathomable abuse, mainly due to his defensive incompetence and seemingly poor attitude....

And are there lessons from the past 48 Super Bowls that can be applied to the 49th version, coming up on Sunday between the Patriots and Seahawks? There’s a recent trend to the underdog. The team catching points has covered the spread in six of the last seven Super Bowls, winning five of them outright. A week before the Patriots and Seahawks take the field, New England is a 1-point favorite at most Las Vegas sports books, while some shops are still dealing the game at a pick ‘em....

The surprising Cincinnati Bengals will meet the Los Angeles Rams for the Super Bowl on February 13 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The Bengals, who won the AFC North after finishing last in the division during 2019 and 2020, won the AFC Championship with an overtime victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, 27-24, at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. This was an NFL-record fourth-consecutive year the Chiefs hosted a conference championship—losing after the 2018 season and winning the next two years....

Jimmy Kimmel has released a “Unnecessary Censorship” segment with a lot of footage from the big game. Although nothing dirty is actually said, it might be wise to proceed with caution. Things can get pretty bleeping interesting.

Lucien Favre’s men secured their spot in Ligue 1’s top three on Saturday thanks to a 3-1 victory over Nancy, although the Italy international was forced to watch from the stands due to a one-match suspension. Once again the striker saw his side fall behind – the ninth time in 14 games the title hopefuls have conceded the opening goal – yet once more they rallied to victory. It was Balotelli’s replacement, Mickael Le Bihan, who got them promptly back on terms thanks to a smart finish from a Younes Belhanda pass....

The trademark entered the Trademark Reporting and Monitoring System on May 27, and contains a thick paragraph of different applications that Nintendo plans to use for Super Nintendo World. Among the stand-out proclamations from the new trademark listing is the ‘management or arrangement of kart racing’, a clear indication that fans will be able to relive their Rainbow Road Mario Kart fantasies at Universal, especially when combined with the rental of masquerade costumes....

To perform this wild glitch, Super Smash Bros Ultimate players will need to play as Isabelle and also be fighting at least one other Isabelle. This whole strategy revolves around Isabelle’s side-special move, the fishing rod. This move will allow Isabelle to pull items (or other players) toward her. To execute the glitch, two Isabelle players must hook and reel in an assist trophy at the same time. One player will “win” the assist trophy and will be locked in a spawn animation to continuously summon whatever the assist trophy’s character is (like Waluigi, for example)....

As the roster of Super Smash Bros. has increased in size, so too has the number of options Kirby has for copy abilities. Each new character presents a unique opportunity for Kirby mains to try new strategies, and looking at things from a canonical standpoint, new opportunities for Kirby to push his limits. Kirby in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is facing off against some powerhouse characters from alternate universes, and his capacity for copying their abilities no matter how strong they are shows just how powerful Kirby is as a character....

It can be said with an apparent pride that football in England is a religion. While we hold back from labeling the nation as gods in the sport, we associate the nation with those “who brought football upon us” – here in the UAE. Yes, they did, through British soldiers, who were present in the country due to mutual political motives during the early 19th century. Since then, football slowly crept into the lives of the locals compelling them to accept it as part of their lives....

A lot of people seem to agree that a Deadpool game from Suda would make a lot of sense considering the slight similarities between Deadpool and No More Heroes’ protagonist Travis Touchdown, as well as Suda having experience with over-the-top action games with bloody violence and meta-comedy that frequently breaks the fourth wall. As it turns out, Suda was actually approached by Activision at one point to specifically make a Deadpool game....

With buzz spreading among “LOTR” diehards that this will be the one camp to rule them all, the program has already become one of the museum’s most popular offerings. Enrollment–it’s $370 if you’re not a museum member–began last week, and Ochoa suspects they may have to expand the camp beyond its 21 slots. (Add another tree to the shire?) Charles and Susan Haan, of San Francisco, signed up Mina, 10, who’s preparing for her theatrical debut by reading the book with them....
