It’s a move that many saw as a possibility, and the wrestling world is curious to see how the transition is made — as is current RAW Women’s Champion, and former NXT superstar, Becky Lynch. “It’s going to be huge. I’m so interested to see what that means and where it’s going to take them,” Lynch told Newsweek. “It’s crazy that they gone from wrestling in littler armories and in front of 40-50 people to see the growth to where it’s come today....

For months, the vicious rhetoric from the “Summer of Love” protests has been escalating. The protesters don’t simply chant “all cops are bastards” and move on. They’ve celebrated the death of cops, proudly displaying signs like “All my heroes kill cops.” But more disturbingly, mobs of agitators and Black Lives Matter supporters have actively tried to murder police. The media, with exceptions like Fox News, just don’t like to highlight these stories....

Bush didn’t like everything we had to say. I was struck by his lack of familiarity with the issues, as well as by his desire to learn. I described how my partner, Rob Morris, and I have been in a 17-year relationship. We both come from healthy, strong, religious families. Rob grew up in a conservative Republican family in Georgia; I come from a longtime Republican family in Wisconsin. I’m now the vice president of my Lutheran church....

Kyiv police have since launched a criminal case for suspected murder and said it would investigate the possibility of murder disguised as suicide, Reuters reports. A police statement, released on Tuesday, said: “Belarusian citizen Vitaly Shishov, who disappeared yesterday in Kyiv, was found hanged today in one of Kyiv’s parks, not far from his place of residence....

It’s especially important for a Belgium team that has yet to fulfill the potential of its “golden generation” with a trophy. The No. 1 FIFA world ranking is nice, but Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne know that the expectation for their team is to finally get Belgium to a major tournament final. For that reason, the pressure will be heaviest on the Red Devils. Portugal’s game is crafted in the mold of their captain and leader Cristiano Ronaldo, who at 36 could be playing his final Euro tournament....

This hit me when a friend emailed a film clip of what purports to be a charming music machine, built at the University of Iowa. To me, it looked computer generated, and indeed about three seconds of searching showed that it was yet another urban legend.

Is this the beginning of a beautiful Hollywood career for Bellucci? Don’t bet on it. “I’m not a Hollywood actress,” she says over mint tea at Casablanca’s Riad Salam hotel.

I’m European, and I need to express things that are part of my culture.” Her role models are Sophia Loren, Gina Lollobrigida, Claudia Cardinale and Anna Magnani–the formidable actresses of the golden age of Italian cinema....

She’s won nine consecutive fights and claimed the inaugural Bellator women’s featherweight championship over Marloes Coenen at Bellator 174 in March 2017. But, it hasn’t always been that way for her. After losing to Ronda Rousey in 39 seconds at a Strikeforce Challengers event in November 2011, Budd’s record stood at 2-2. She was at a crossroads going into her next fight against Elina Nilsson in July 2012. The result would determine the path of the rest of her life....

Chiarot does have a 10-team no-movement clause built into his contract that he will have to waive if one of those teams is interested in trading for him. With the Canadiens sitting last in the Eastern Conference, they are going to be sellers at the trade deadline and Chiarot is a coveted target for contenders....

Who is Manchester United target Victor Lindelof? Recent reports from England suggest United have made the Sweden international their primary transfer target ahead of the January window as they look to strengthen their defence. Vitoria is not surprised to see the 22-year-old linked with a move to a bigger club, but sees no reason for panic if he were to move on. “Our players have a lot of quality and they are attractive options for other clubs in the transfer market,” Vitoria told reporters when asked about a potential Lindelof exit....
