During the match, Rollins kneed Cena in the face. However, if history has taught us anything, it’s that Cena can overcome any odds. And as long as the injury isn’t too severe, it shouldn’t affect any of the buildup to SummerSlam. Cena might have to wear a mask for a little bit and/or refrain from his U.S. title open challenge for a few weeks before SummerSlam, but he’s competed through worse, including a torn triceps leading into SummerSlam 2013....

Anime has also touched on the topic of single parents, be it in comedies or dramas, shonen adventure or family fare, in modern settings or fantasy worlds. Here are a few anime examples of shows about solo moms, dads, and guardians in general. 7 Kakushigoto Japan does like its puns. The title is a reference to its protagonist, Kakushi Gotō, and on his ‘drawing job’ (kaku shigoto).

Omar, who is Muslim and represents Minnesota, has routinely faced Islamophobic and racist attacks since she became one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress back in 2018. Memes and baseless conspiracy theories have circulated widely within right-wing circles falsely connecting her to Islamist terrorist groups and suggesting that she was somehow associated with the 9/11 terrorist attacks. “Heartbroken to learn another CP was killed while protecting the Capitol....

The hearing was conducted to discuss efforts to support European energy security related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. About 44 minutes into the nearly two-hour hearing, questioning of one government official by Republican Brian Mast led to a contentious war of words with Chairman Bill Keating. “Russians were manipulating the market and increasing prices before the invasion,” Mast said. “Why I think it’s so important…let’s all ask ourselves, what was President Biden doing while this was going on and ahead of that going on: He was cutting off U....

“The party was shaken by that,” Reed, who previously served as the executive director of the Republican National Committee (RNC), told Axios in reference to GOP Senators Susan Collins of Maine, Martha McSally of Arizona and Joni Ernst of Iowa. “We’re all worried,” he added. He described the situation with the incumbent senators as “a three-alarm fire,” as there is growing concern among Republicans that their party could lose control of the Senate and the White House to Democrats in the national election next year....

The committee sent a letter to the Commission of Presidential Debates, specifically to Co-Chairmans Frank J. Fahrenkopf Jr. and Kenneth Wollack, expressing frustration at the commission’s “recent performance and our concern about its continued role in hosting presidential debates.” The three-page letter shared on the GOP’s official Twitter account, written by Ronna McDaniel, Republican National Committee chairperson, says “the organization no longer provides the fair and impartial forum for presidential debates which the law requires and the American people deserve....

Hayward first debuted the new ‘do at Hornets media day in September, but it actually took some time for the masses to notice. Weeks after the fact, there was a widespread reaction from social media, with most of the commentary coming on Twitter. Per usual, a number of users got their fair share of jokes off, while many were critical of the cut or simply puzzled by what exactly Hayward is going for....

Last year saw the introduction of the DC FanDome event, an online show that gave fans a slew of new announcements on all kinds of DC properties. Gotham Knights was one of the many surprises during the show, but since then there has been a severe lack of information around the game. Luckily, fans should get some relief knowing Gotham Knights will be at this year’s DC FanDome. After little information and a delay, there are likely to be a lot of questions going into the show, and hopefully WB Games will go over some of the most important answers during its Gotham Knights presentation....

On Thursday, Abbott met with Chihuahua state governor Maria Eugenia “Maru” Campos and signed a memoranda of understanding (MOU) between the two states to enhance border security. The agreement comes as border states prepare for the Biden administration to end Title 42, a policy used to expel over 200,000 immigrant families and asylum-seekers during the COVID-19 pandemic. “These MOUs with the State of Chihuahua and the State of Coahuila signal yet another historic step taken by the State of Texas to solve the border crisis, keep our communities safe, negotiate with our partners in Mexico, and fill in the gaps left by the inaction of the Biden Administration,” said Abbott in a statement....

Democrat incumbents running for reelection in three states are in “toss-up” races where their Republican opponents could take the governorship, according to the Cook Political Report. That outcome is most likely in Nevada—the only state where the incumbent candidate is poised to lose the midterm election. In Nevada, Republican Joe Lombardo is forecasted to have a 51 in 100 chance of defeating Governor Steve Sisolak, who is the first Democrat to serve as the state’s governor since 1999....

Now, fantasy owners who had been set on Graham-Gronk autopilot the past few years have to reassess this always-volatile position. Graham is still the unquestioned No. 1 tight end, but the oft-injured Gronk, who had surgery on a torn ACL in January, likely won’t be 100 percent by the start of the season. Even if he is, he’s obviously a major risk. Is he still the indisputable No. 2?...

For those unaware of the recent San Andreas remaster, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is an updated collection of classics that aims to enhance the experience of three defining PS2-era games: Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, and San Andreas. While this sounds like a dream come true for many gamers, the public reaction has been negative ever since it hit store shelves last year, as the inadequate gameplay experience it offered resulted in incredibly low Metacritic scores for the GTA Trilogy....

In the lead up to Cyberpunk 2077, many of the marketing materials pointed to the game as being an evolution to the heavy action shooters in the same way Grand Theft Auto 5 was. However, it turns out that the highly-anticipated game of 2020 was as problematic as the entire year had been for the games industry. Fans were particularly focused on the NPCs, as they had been bragged about in the time prior to the release....

Both fanbases have entered a holding pattern as they wait for more news on upcoming games, and it may be a while. Square Enix and Rockstar Games have very long development cycles for the respective games that each publisher currently has in development. However, this time things are a little different from both publishers, for different reasons. Both are potentially taking an incremental development approach this time around for Grand Theft Auto 6 and Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s second episode....
