What is Poker Face?
Poker Face is a Columbo-style detective series. The hook, however, is that it's in reverse. Johnson describes it as a "howcatchem," as opposed to the popular "whodunit" format of Columbo and other detective series.
What is Poker Face Season 2 About?
In Poker Face Season 2, Lyonne's Charlie Cale is back to try and crack crime cases armed with an almost supernatural lie-detecting ability. It is, according to Lyonne and Johnson, an "existential road trip."
The pair's full co-statement describes what viewers are in for: "To bring Season 2 to life, we pulled visual inspiration from American 70s cinema, all the stuff we love like Robert Altman, Bob Rafelson, Peter Bogdanovich. But the backbone of this show is TV – the kind of TV we grew up watching, episodic case of the week gems like Columbo and The Rockford Files and Quantum Leap. Each episode is a mini movie, existing in its own world with a unique tone and vibe, featuring an eccentric lot of characters played by a truly gonzo parade of guest stars."

Karrion Kross Releases New Theme Song After WWE Exit
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In the strongest sign yet that his departure from WWE is legitimate, Karrion Kross has released a brand-new entrance theme. The former NXT Champion debuted the new music and an accompanying cinematic video on his YouTube channel this past Sunday, August 17th. The move is the latest development in a chaotic saga surrounding his and his wife Scarlett's exit from the company. Their WWE contracts officially expired on August 10th. Karrion Kross' New Chapter Begins Kross teased the new theme on his social media, telling fans he had heard their disappointment about his WWE music no longer being available. The new video features Kross in a dark, atmospheric setting, arguing with his own reflection and ending with the cryptic message, "When one door closes." For a professional wrestler, their entrance music is a crucial part of their identity. When a superstar leaves WWE, they must also leave behind their WWE-produced theme. The release of a new, independent theme is one of the first and most important steps in establishing a new, post-WWE persona for the independent circuit or another major promotion. Karrion Kross' Week of Chaos and Confusion This new music follows a whirlwind two weeks of speculation and conflicting reports about Kross's status. After initial reports stated his contract would expire without a new deal, a subsequent report claimed an offer had been made. Kross himself then added to the mystery, stating in a podcast interview that much of what was being written was "not true." INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - JANUARY 06: (L-R) Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux attend Netflix's Debut of WWE Monday Night Raw at Intuit Dome on January 06, 2025 in Inglewood, California. INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - JANUARY 06: (L-R) Karrion Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux attend Netflix's Debut of WWE Monday Night Raw at Intuit Dome on January 06, 2025 in Inglewood, Netflix The speculation culminated in a tell-all interview with Ariel Helwani last week. In that interview, Kross gave a blow-by-blow account of his failed contract negotiations and insisted thathis departure was legitimate and not an elaborate storyline, or "work." More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match Despite Kross's insistence, some fans have remained skeptical, pointing to WWE's recent history of "worked shoot" storylines, like the one involving R-Truth's contract status. However, this new theme song is the most compelling evidence yet that his exit is real. Commissioning, producing, and releasing a new theme is a significant investment of time and money that a performer would not likely make if they were part of a short-term storyline. While a small chance of a swerve always remains in the unpredictable world of wrestling, all signs now point to Karrion Kross and Scarlett beginning a new chapter of their careers.

Becky Lynch Urges Veteran WWE Superstar To Make Big Change
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch has reignited her long and complicated rivalry with Natalya. "The Man" is set to defend her title against the veteran superstar on tonight's episode of Monday Night Raw. The feud has quickly become personal, with Lynch taking to social media to call out her opponent. She is demanding that the "Queen of Harts" bring a more aggressive and vicious side to their championship encounter. Reigniting an Old Feud The issues escalated on last week's episode of Raw after Lynch defeated Natalya's protege, Maxxine Dupri. In a post-match promo, Lynch urged her former mentor, Natalya, to show the same fire she has in the past. In response to a later promo from Natalya, Lynch posted a video on Instagram. The video featured clips of Natalya's 2016 heel turn, where she brutally attacked Lynch from behind on multiple occasions. "Bring this version of Nattie. I'm sick of Natalya. Ps. I never forget," Lynch wrote in the caption. A Long and Complicated History The on-again, off-again rivalry between Becky Lynch and Natalya has deep roots that go back nearly a decade to the early days of the "Women's Revolution." The two were initially allies before a miscommunication in a 2016 tag team match led to Natalya snapping and turning heel on Lynch. More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match Their most high-profile feud was in 2019, when Natalya challenged Lynch for the Raw Women's Championship in a Submission Match at SummerSlam in Natalya's home country of Canada. Throughout their history, they have been both close friends and bitter enemies. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - APRIL 20: Becky Lynch is introduced before her match with Lyra Valkyria for the Women's Tag Team Championship against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez during WrestleMania 41 at Allegiant Stadium on... LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - APRIL 20: Becky Lynch is introduced before her match with Lyra Valkyria for the Women's Tag Team Championship against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez during WrestleMania 41 at Allegiant Stadium on April 20, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada More The "Dungeon-Trained" WWE Veteran Natalya is one of the most respected figures in the WWE women's locker room. As a third-generation member of the legendary Hart family and the only woman to graduate from the infamous Hart Dungeon, her pedigree is unmatched. She has long been seen as the veteran leader and "gatekeeper" of the division. For many fans, they've been wanting to see WWE do something with Natalya after not doing much with her in recent years. While the belief is that Lynch won't lose the title to Natalya on Raw, it could lead to something bigger for Natalya going forward should WWE want to do so.
