Logan Paul knocks out Jey Uso after Raw goes off the air
Truly, there is no rest for the weary. Just moments after World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso survived his first title defense Monday night on Raw, a surprise challenger appeared after the show went off the air.
Moments after Uso retained his title in a thrilling match against Seth Rollins, he took a victory lap around the ring with fans. But one ringsider in a dark hoodie did more than high-five Uso; he knocked him out cold with a single punch. That ringsider? None other than Logan Paul.
Last week on Raw, Paul confronted Uso, issuing him a challenge for the World Title. While he didn't formally accept Paul's challenge, Uso let him know he's welcome to step up and try. Tired of Paul's trash talk, Uso blasted him with a superkick to the face before walking off.

Well, one good smack deserves another, as Paul retaliated when Uso least expected it. These two are clearly on a collision course, but a time and date for their showdown have yet to be determined.

Francis Tiafoe and Tommy Paul put two American men in quarterfinals for first time since 1996
It's the first time the country placed more than one man in the quarterfinals in Paris since 1996, when Jim Courier and Pete Sampras did it together. Zero men from the United States had made it this far in any year since Andre Agassi in 2003. The key for Tiafoe? Advertisement 'Playing hard-court tennis on a clay court,' he said. And Tiafoe — who celebrated his win by twice shouting a phrase that can't be quoted fully here but included the words 'let's' and 'go' — has done it without dropping a set. Quite a turnaround for a guy whose big-strike tennis long suffered on the slow red clay. He began his French Open career with a 0-6 record before getting his first win in 2022 and one more last year. 'On clay, I get a little more passive than on other surfaces, because the court doesn't help me play as fast as I would like,' said Tiafoe, twice a semifinalist on the hard courts of the US Open, where speedy shots are rewarded and the loud crowds and bright lights tend to bring out his best. 'Patience is a thing I struggle with.' Advertisement Look at him now, though. And listen to something else he said when he met with reporters a little more than a week ago, with a dash of his usual sense of humor: 'Overall, I'm a big believer it can all change in a week. When I'm backed up against it, it seems like I start to produce my best tennis, because I have to if I want to continue living the life I want to live.' Tiafoe, a 27-year-old from Maryland, added: 'If I'm ready to go, I'm not just going to get to the third round — I can go for a run. I genuinely feel I can beat anybody on any specific day.' He wants more, too, naturally. 'Quarterfinals is not end-all, be-all,' Tiafoe said. Next up is a matchup on Tuesday against No. 8 Lorenzo Musetti of Italy or No. 10 Holger Rune of Denmark. Four American women play in the fourth round Monday: No. 2 Coco Gauff, No. 3 Jessica Pegula, and No. 7 Madison Keys against Hailey Baptiste in an all-US encounter. Paul, a semifinalist at the Australian Open in 2023, was never really troubled Sunday during his 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 win against 25th-seeded Alexei Popyrin of Australia in less than two hours. Paul is a 28-year-old who grew up in North Carolina and now goes up against No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz of Spain, Advertisement 'Obviously,' Paul said about Alcaraz, 'the guy can play amazing tennis here.'

French Open: Frances Tiafoe and Tommy Paul put 2 US men in quarterfinals for 1st time since 1996
Associated Press PARIS (AP) — Before Frances Tiafoe played a point at this French Open, he wasn't particularly enthusiastic about its surface — or his chances in the tournament. 'Last tournament on clay, which I get really excited about,' Tiafoe said on the eve of the Grand Slam event at Roland-Garros. 'And then we get on the real stuff, the grass and the summer hard courts — where tennis actually matters.' Might have a different point of view now. The 15th-seeded Tiafoe made his way into the quarterfinals at the French Open for the first time with a 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (4) victory over Daniel Altmaier of Germany on Sunday night, joining 12th-seeded Tommy Paul to put a pair of American men in the round of eight. It's the first time the country placed more than one man in the quarterfinals in Paris since 1996, when Jim Courier and Pete Sampras did it together. Zero men from the United States had made it this far in any year since Andre Agassi in 2003.
