Chad Gable dismisses ‘El Grande Americano' speculation ahead of blockbuster WWE weekend
Chad Gable has once again denied persistent fan theories linking him to the masked Luchador, El Grande Americano. The rumors flared up after Monday Night RAW when Americano clinched a major victory in a Triple Threat Match against CM Punk and AJ Styles to qualify for the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now But fans weren't just focused on the win, they noticed something peculiar: white wrestling boots with 'C.G.' engraved on the side, worn by Americano. commentator Michael Cole didn't miss the detail, and neither did fans online, reigniting speculation that Gable is moonlighting behind the mask. Chad Gable clears the air on gear swap Taking to social media, Gable attempted to explain the coincidence. He stated that El Grande Americano had lost his boots en route to Tulsa and simply borrowed Gable's as a last-minute fix. 'Really really proud of this guy! Even though I DID have to borrow him my boots (which he stretched out) last night because the airlines lost his,' Gable wrote. 'Big day for both of us Saturday, hombre!' His post hasn't convinced everyone, but it adds another layer of amusement to what many see as WWE's most playful mystery. Both Gable and El Grande Americano are set for high-stakes action this Saturday in California. El Grande Americano will take part in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match alongside Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, Penta, Seth Rollins, and Andrade at the Intuit Dome. Earlier in the day, Gable will face El Hijo del Vikingo for the AAA Mega Championship at WWE and AAA's crossover event, Worlds Collide, at the Kia Forum. The packed schedule, along with their uncanny overlap - has only added fuel to the fire. Yet, WWE seems happy to let the speculation continue, leaning into the mystery for maximum fan engagement. PENTA Nearly Paralyzed Chad Gable with STUPID MOVE Veteran wrestling figure Dutch Mantell recently commented on Gable's match last week, where a botched move by Penta nearly led to injury. Mantell stressed that both superstars share responsibility for the miscue but applauded Gable's professionalism and poise in the ring. Whether or not Chad Gable is El Grande Americano remains an open question, and a highly entertaining one at that. As WWE prepares for a massive weekend, fans are left to wonder: will the truth be revealed, or is the mystery part of the magic?

Virat Kohli's 'iconic jump' goes viral after Shreyas Iyer falls for 1 in IPL Final
BCCI/IPL Photo NEW DELHI: Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) star batter Virat Kohli leapt in celebration and hugged Romario Shepherd after the pacer dismissed Punjab Kings (PBKS) skipper Shreyas Iyer for just 1. Iyer was caught behind by Jitesh Sharma off a short-of-a-length delivery outside off. Though the umpire didn't raise his finger, Iyer walked immediately, acknowledging the faint outside edge. Jitesh was ready to review, but the PBKS captain's honesty spared the referral. Earlier, RCB huffed and puffed their way to 190 for 9 in the IPL 2025 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. On a batting-friendly surface, the fourth-time finalists once again faltered on the big stage, unable to apply significant scoreboard pressure. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! While Kohli has long anchored innings with calculated composure, his approach backfired this time. He managed 43 off 35 balls, striking just three fours — two of which came after the ninth over — at a strike rate of 122.85, looking far too conservative in the high-stakes final. IPL 2025 Final | Rishi Sunak Interview: 'I am a big Virat Kohli fan... RCB is my team' RCB were relatively brisk in the powerplay, reaching 55/1, but their momentum stalled thereafter. Between overs 6 and 11, they mustered only 42 runs, with the batters largely rotating strike rather than pushing for big overs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 오스템 임플란트 받아가세요 임플란터 더 알아보기 Undo Phil Salt gave RCB a fiery start, smashing a six and a four in the first over. However, in the next, he mistimed a shot off Kyle Jamieson, offering a skier that was safely pouched by Shreyas Iyer after covering over 10 paces back at mid-on. Salt's dismissal proved to be a turning point, as RCB lost momentum. Mayank Agarwal (24), Rajat Patidar (26), and Liam Livingstone (25) all got starts but couldn't convert them into impactful scores. Jamieson (3/48) was instrumental, mixing his lengths cleverly. After removing Salt, he returned in the 11th over to trap Patidar LBW with a superb slower yorker. His figures took a slight beating in the 17th over when Jitesh Sharma (24 off 10 balls) and Livingstone launched a counter-attack, collecting 23 runs off the over with three sixes between them. But Jamieson had the final say, trapping Livingstone leg-before with a full toss. Arshdeep Singh, who had an expensive start — conceding 37 in his first three overs — produced a brilliant final over. He dismissed Krunal Pandya (4), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1), and Romario Shepherd (17 off 9), who threatened to lift RCB past 200 with a six and a four late in the innings.

One Piece season 2 confirms 2026 release, Mikaela Hoover cast as Chopper
The fan-favorite reindeer doctor Tony Tony Chopper joins the Straw Hat crew in Netflix's adaptation of one of Japan's biggest anime franchises, One Piece. It looks like Netflix's live-action adaptation of One Piece is charting a course into uncharted waters. Netflix has announced that Season 2 of One Piece will be released in 2026, this time, one of the most popular characters from the anime is finally joining the diverse crew — Tony Tony Chopper. Fury of the Gods, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3), has been cast as the voice of Chopper, but will serve as the facial motion capture for the adorable half-reindeer, half-human doctor. Who is Tony Tony Chopper? Tony Tony Chopper is one of the key crew members aboard the Straw Hat Pirates, under the leadership of the adventurous and stretchy rubber monster pirate Monkey D. Luffy. Chopper is a reindeer who consumed the Human-Human Fruit, which gives him the power to speak, walk on two legs, and even change into various forms. Tasked with the care of humans and AI alike, he becomes the crew's doctor, and a favorite for his sweet persona and even sweeter heart. In the anime and manga, Chopper first joins the crew during the Drum Island arc, which Season 2 should be covering. Mikaela Hoover brings Chopper to life in Netflix's One Piece Netflix's upcoming live-action One Piece series will have some sort of similar direction, with Castlevania and Suicide Squad actress Mikaela Hoover not only voicing Chopper but performing facial snap too, adding emotional nuance to the CG character. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The casting announcement came during Netflix's worldwide Tudum fan event from the original series' returning members, including Iñaki Godoy (Luffy), Mackenyu (Zoro), Emily Rudd (Nami), Jacob Romero (Usopp), and Taz Skylar (Sanji). This choice of character design is a strong indication of Netflix's willingness to make sure Castor is an expressive character and one that remains devoted to his anime origins. One Piece season 2 expands its star-studded cast In addition to continuing the epic story set into motion by the first season, the new season will introduce a whole new world of characters and headline-grabbing villains like those from the Baroque Works saga and the Drum Island arc. New cast members for One Piece season 2 are: Charithra Chandran as Miss Wednesday Photo: Netflix Joe Manganiello as Mr. 0 (Crocodile) Katey Sagal as Dr. Kureha. Lera Abova as Miss All Sunday (Nico Robin) Mark Harelik as Dr. Hiriluk Camrus Johnson as Mr 5 Rob Colletti as Wapol Ty Keogh as Dalton. Callum Kerr as Smoker Brendan Sean Murray as Brogy . Werner Coetser as Dorry Gunter Werner Coetser a host of others Inclusion of these characters suggests the live-action adaptation will tackle some of the biggest arcs to come out of the Arabasta Saga, a fan-favorite arc packed with political intrigue, action, and heartbreaking moments. Returning cast of One Piece season 2 The original Straw Hats are returning as well for Season 2: Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy One of the things that attracted me to the original anime series was Luffy as a character. Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro【Credit: Netflix】 Emily Rudd as Nami Loading… Emily Rudd as Nami That's Jacob Romero as Usopp, looking cool in his straw hat. Taz Skylar as Sanji Source, Netflix So far, critiques of this kind haven't hurt One Piece. Other returning cast members include Ilia Isorelys Paulino (Alvida), Jeff Ward (Buggy), and Michael Dorman (Gol D. Roger). Behind the scenes: One Piece live-action creators The new live-action series, which is a collaboration between Netflix and Tomorrow Studios, is being produced in conjunction with the original manga's Japanese publisher Shueisha. Bud Greenspan, Frank Marshall, Joe Roth, and Matthew McConkey are the executive producers. Eiichiro Oda (mangaka, creator of One Piece) Matt Owens and Joe Tracz (co-showrunners and writers) Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements (Tomorrow Studios) Tetsu Fujimura, Chris Symes & Steven Maeda After the colossal worldwide phenomenon that was Season 1 — it reached No. 1 on Netflix charts in 91 countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom — expectations are sky-high for Season 2, as fans across the globe clamored for more. When will One Piece season 2 be released? Netflix has officially announced that One Piece Season 2 will be released in 2026. No specific release month has been released so far, but the cameras are already rolling. Due to the scale of the CG and motion capture work needed for Chopper, the longer production timeline is warranted. Fans can look forward to new episodes launching exclusively on Netflix around the world in mid to late 2026. First look at Chopper in One Piece season 2 Netflix has provided a first look at Tony Tony Chopper, allowing fans to see how the cutie-patootie hybrid character will look. Though not much has been unveiled yet, the first visual is promising, indicating a true-to-the-source but realistic approach, blending CG with emotional humanity which is due largely to Hoover's motion capture. Netflix's One Piece live-action series is not just another anime adaptation. It's a global event. The adaptation transports one of Japan's most beloved stories to audiences around the world for the first time, and as monumental as a live-action Luffy or Zoro are, actually seeing a CGI Chopper is a huge leap forward. For our newer fans, this will be the season to get invested in epic emotional backstories, new Jumanji islands and cool warrior like battles. For manga readers and longtime anime fans, it's an opportunity to see iconic characters — Chopper! Robin! Crocodile! — in a brand new light.
