AJ Styles made bold entrance with son in classic lowrider, paying subtle homage to late icon Eddie Guerrero
AJ Styles
made a statement in his way up to SummerSlam 2025. With his son, Avery Jones, riding shotgun, Styles rolled into MetLife Stadium in a classic lowrider. It was a clear tribute to the late, great Eddie Guerrero.
The moment was powerful, especially considering Styles had already hinted that this could be his final SummerSlam appearance.
AJ Styles turns heads at MetLife with Guerrero-style lowrider arrival, sharing spotlight with his young son
Before the bell even rang for the AJ Styles vs Dominik Mysterio matchup, the energy was different. Styles, clad in Latino Heat-inspired gear, embraced nostalgia without stealing the spotlight. "If I'm being honest with you guys, this may be my last SummerSlam," he had told fans during the kickoff show.
"So, I plan on tearing the house down one last time at SummerSlam for you guys."
The match against Dominik Mysterio was action-packed. AJ started strong, crisp and focused, putting on a technical display that reminded fans why his debut match against John Cena in 2016 is still considered one of SummerSlam's all-time greats.
But Dominik was ready to defend his title. Matching Styles move for move, 'Dirty' Dom leaned into his Guerrero roots, complete with a slingshot senton and the signature top-turnbuckle fake-out.

The crowd caught on quickly. It was indeed fine storytelling for the fans.
As the match intensified, Mysterio pulled a clever trick straight from Guerrero's playbook. He removed his boot mid-hold, slipping out of the calf crusher, and nailing Styles behind the ref's back. One splash later, and the three-count sealed a huge win for the rising Intercontinental Champion.
AJ Styles made Dominik Mysterio look stunning in the SummerSlam matchup
Styles might be on his way out, but he didn't leave without giving the next generation a serious boost. Dominik Mysterio's clean(ish) win over a future Hall of Famer now becomes a key chapter in his evolving legacy.
With a Triplemanía main event coming up and whispers of gold crossing into Raw via Netflix, Dominik's stock is soaring.

'Wednesday' Season 2: Money lessons from the gothic, witty Jenna Ortega, who carries the Addams Family saga forward
A rich, tight-fisted grandmother; an uncle who travels all around the world but lands at the family home with a bride everyone is convinced is a gold digger; a strange and very hairy cousin; a brother you'd want to kill in a hundred different ways; parents who are so in love with one another that you want to throw up; a family so colourful that you tell people you are allergic to colour and wish to wander around in the funereal black. No, not yours, but this is the Addams Family, and we follow the adventures of Wednesday Addams in a brilliant Netflix show. The legend that is Tim Burton brought to life a family you and I have secretly thought was ours. First came the cartoons about a family that's 'creepy and kooky, mysterious and spooky, all together ooky', then you grew up watching the Addam's Family. Long before I grew up, there was a TV show where you watched Lisa Loring as Wednesday Addams and John Astin and Carolyn Jones as Morticia and Gomez Addams, her parents. Then you fell in love with Anjelica Husto,n who arranged roses like no one else has, since she was Morticia 'Tish' Addams, and how she danced the tango with Raul Julia: Uncle Fester, Thing, Lurch, and yes, Cousin. It was unforgettable in three Addam's Family movies. Here's a taste of brotherly love between Uncle Fester and Gomez Addams in this unforgettable song: That's why when Netflix and Tim Burton brought us Wednesday, a tale of a girl who won't fit in, who wonders whose twisted idea (it is) to put hundreds of adolescents in underfunded schools run by people whose dreams were crushed years ago… But the sadism is admirable… The show is one of Netflix's highest-watched and loved shows. Season 2 has been split into two parts with four one-hour episodes each, and the first four episodes that dropped on Wednesday, August 6, are supremely satisfying. You will look at your brother (especially because the festival of Rakhi is upon us) and smile because Wednesday says, 'No one gets to torture my brother except me.' The characters, the music, the setting, and the story keep you involved from the very first minute to the end credits of the last episode. So what money lessons can you learn from a girl who has some of the best lines delivered with deadpan sarcasm, says to you: 'Anytime I grow nauseous at the sight of a rainbow or hear a pop song that makes my ears bleed, I'll think of you."? Wednesday Addams is a proud young girl and does not care for being patronised. When you hear financial institutions single out and create promotional material targeting women for accounts, loans and other financial packages, you wish you could speak like Wednesday and tell them that you don't care to be put in a convenient box… Ability counts, not gender, isn't it? All through season one, we see Wednesday use the ancient typewriter to write a novel, which keeps getting rejected by publishing houses because they call it evil and demented. She reads the rejection letters and tells her roommate at Nevermore school that she would rather die than change a word of anything she has written. When it comes to personal finance, you too should be single-minded in trying to achieve your goals and be obsessive about finding ways to make your money work harder for you. Wednesday is very clear about who and what her competition is. She sounds terribly rude when she says that she is just better than the person challenging her. If only we could all be so confident in our lives when facing competition. You have grown up being compared with Sharma-ji-ka beta all the time. That's why when it comes to personal finance, you are always on the lookout for the best deals that will make you money. But look at how Wednesday handles her life. And you will realise that when you have a clear goal, a clear competition, then you work smarter, not harder, to beat that one person and achieve your goal faster. Wednesday realises that Nevermore - the school for Outcasts - has many secrets. And it's not just secret doorways that lead to underground passages. The school principal, Dort (Steve Buscemi), is a delightful, overly happy, and yet somehow evil man who calmly threatens siren Bianca into doing as he asks of her or else… It's a good thing then that Wednesday believes in never letting go of a grudge, or a vision of Enid's tombstone that she saw during her summer holidays as she hones her psychic abilities. Never give up is the money lesson you learn from Wednesday, and though revenge is fictional, what we learn from her figurative 'sharpening of hatchets' is that you never forgive. How often do we listen to a friend who insists that you should invest with them, and when it turns out to be a dud, you do feel awful, and you want to kill your friend for losing your hard-earned money? In real life, you can't, so you revel in Wednesday Addams, who gets away by avenging wrongs. Just remember to never again go against the advice of your personal finance manager or your gut instinct. Wednesday saves the school in season one, and in this season, she has to learn to deal with the newfound celebrity status, with juniors in school wanting to take her autograph, click pictures with her, and even stalk her. In real life, success puts you in the limelight, and everyone wants to know how you managed it. Meaningless affirmations in real life come from many who want to emulate your successes, who want advice you don't want to offer, and yes, they will 'butter you up' - like Principal Dort, commission a portrait of you for the school - because they want your money. We use the phone for many reasons, but this is a warning to not be dependent on the phone for all your money dealings. Investing in Bitcoin may prove to be profitable, but it will open you up to scams you are not yet prepared for. What you are prepared for is a super enjoyable four hours about someone who says, 'Listen, people like me and you, we're different. We're original thinkers, intrepid outliers in this vast cesspool of adolescence. We don't need these inane rites of passage to validate who we are.' If you have not experienced Wednesday, you can start with the first season and watch her dump piranhas in a swimming pool filled with school jocks to avenge her brother, Pugsley. And when you enjoy the psychos, werewolves, sirens, and the wild fun of season one, watch season two, where zombies are added to the show, and yes, Pugsley will remind you so much of Ravi Kishan that you won't be able to unsee it... Plus, you end up humming the REM favourite, 'That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight, losing my religion…' Manisha Lakhe is a poet, film critic, traveller, founder of Caferati — an online writer's forum, hosts Mumbai's oldest open mic, and teaches advertising, films and communication.

When Deepika Padukone fulfilled her promise to mehendi artist Veena Nagda at her wedding to Ranveer Singh
Deepika Padukone 's Mehendi ceremony was a beautiful and intimate celebration held in Lake Como, Italy. She looked stunning, but what truly made the event special were the emotional and personal moments. Adding to the charm was Veena Nagda, Bollywood's most famous Mehendi artist, who helped make Deepika's bridal dream come true with her incredible work. Deepika's special bond What made the moment even more special was the bond between Deepika and Veena. Years before the wedding, the actress had seen Veena's beautiful Mehendi work during a film shoot and promised to book her for her own wedding. Deepika kept her promise When her wedding to Ranveer Singh was being planned, she personally called Veena Nagda and had her flown to Lake Como, Italy, for the Mehendi ceremony. Veena spent five full days creating beautiful henna designs for Deepika and her family members. Talking about the experience, Veena recalled how the cold Italian weather made the task more difficult than usual. She even wondered if Deepika would be able to sit through the long hours required for such detailed work. But she patiently endured it all, showing just how committed she was to having Veena as a part of her special day. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Family Adopted A New 'Dog', But When The Vet Sees It He Calls The Police Undo Ranveer Singh's warm presence Veena fondly recalled that the entire atmosphere, 'The sun came out, and he really lit up the room. He was joking and laughing with everyone, and he addressed me personally while I was doing Deepika's mehendi." The heart touching moment Veena recalled a touching moment during the ceremony when Ranveer acknowledged her work with a thoughtful remark. His kind words, comparing her to royalty while she adorned Deepika, left a lasting impression on her. It was a simple gesture. He requested Veena to create a special Mehendi design for him, one that held deep emotional significance. On his palm, he had the word 'Deep' inscribed, a touching tribute to his bride-to-be. To make it even more meaningful, he asked for three stars to be added — each symbolizing an important woman in his life: Deepika, his mother, and his sister. A wedding that celebrated love and heritage Ranveer and Deepika tied the knot in an intimate, two-day celebration on November 14 and 15, 2018. Their wedding beautifully reflected both their cultural backgrounds, with a traditional Konkani ceremony to honour Deepika's roots, followed by a Sindhi ceremony in tribute to Ranveer's heritage. Surrounded by close family and friends, the couple exchanged vows at the enchanting Villa Del Balbianello, a picturesque 18th-century estate overlooking the serene waters of Lake Como. Welcoming baby Dua Tthe 'Bajirao Mastani' stars began a beautiful new chapter as they welcomed their baby girl, Dua. What's next for the power couple? On the work front, Ranveer is gearing up for his next big release, 'Dhurandhar', directed by Aditya Dhar , which has already sparked excitement among fans. Deepika, on the other hand, is reuniting with Shah Rukh Khan for the highly anticipated film 'King'. 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani' wins National Award; Karan, Alia, and Ranveer react with pride

‘Amar Shonge Dance Korbe? —And just like that, Dev and Subhashree stole the show, once again
The trailer of Dev and Subhashree's next, directed by Kaushik Ganguly , dropped on August 4—and so did every jaw in the city. With crowds swelling, fans screaming, and phones raised high, it was nothing short of a cinematic carnival. But what truly stole the show? The electric reunion of Dev and Subhashree, coming together on-screen after nine long years. From romantic classics to high-octane drama, the duo's chemistry hasn't aged a day—only grown fiercer. The trailer packed in action, emotion, mass moments, and a hint of nostalgia—enough to send the internet into meltdown. It was an evening dipped in nostalgia and electrified by fan frenzy — the kind that the Bengali film industry hadn't witnessed in a long time. Dev and Subhashree lit up the stage not just with their presence but with playful banter, trading one-liners with effortless charm and that unmistakable chemistry that once defined an era. Then came the moment that brought the house down. Turning to her with a grin, Dev asked, 'Amar shonge dance korbe? I can't even remember the last time we danced together.' And just like that, the magic took over. The two launched into an impromptu dance to Mala Re and Poran Jai Jolia Re, sending fans into an emotional tailspin. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Secret Lives of the Romanovs — the Last Rulers of Imperial Russia!

Reflecting on their journey and the overwhelming fan response, Dev said with a smile, 'Our names are inseparable as an iconic jodi. Even after almost a decade, the love still keeps pouring in.' Amidst the cheers and chaos at the Dhumketu trailer launch, someone threw a curveball question at Dev asking, 'Who would play Subhashree in your biopic?' Before Dev could even respond, Subhashree jumped in with her trademark sass and charm, stealing the moment with a mic-drop reply, 'Can Dev ever find a better person than me to play Subhashree in his biopic?' The crowd erupted in laughter and applause, loving every bit of the jodi's playful back-and-forth.
