‘Stone Cold' Steve Austin sends woman flying after driving ATV into WrestleMania barrier
Add another three count to 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin's WrestleMania resume.
Austin made an appearance at WrestleMania 41 on Sunday to thunderous applause, as a thrilled crowd came unglued when his glass-breaking music hit.

Austin drove his ATV down the ramp and began driving it around the squared circle. However, before he could complete a second loop around, Austin turned a bit too wide while attempting to get past a corner, nailing the barricade and sending one woman back to her seat in haste.
The WWE's official YouTube channel cut this part of Austin's cruise around the ring from their official highlight package of Austin's return to the ring.
Austin's ATV got stuck there, and he was forced to get up and move on from his four-wheeler.
As he crashed, WWE commentator Pat McAfee said, 'Oh sh,' stopping just short of an expletive as Austin stood up to make sure the fan was OK after the fall.
The six-time WWE champion had a hard time maneuvering the ATV from the start.

Austin's music hit, and as he was looking to drive his ATV in front of the sold-out crowd, he completely missed a 15-foot-wide ramp to get out on stage, the reason for the 40-second delay between his music hitting and him actually appearing on screen.
He again had a tough time putting his ATV in reverse, as backstage security and crew had to grab it and move him into position where he could retry driving up the ramp.

The Texas Rattlesnake came out as he usually does, telling fans that if they're having a good time at WrestleMania, 'give me a hell yeah.'
Austin concluded the night with his typical beer-drinking bit, clashing two cans together while standing on the ropes and saluting the crowd as he doused his face in beer.

WWE Money In The Bank 2025 Match Card, Participants And Favorites
WWE Money in the Bank 2025 is entering its 16th year as a stand-alone event, and it will have massive implications on the future of WWE. The latest WWE pay-per-view emanates from the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California and features Cody Rhodes, John Cena, Logan Paul and a slew of other top WWE superstars competing for bragging rights and future world title shots. The event is expected to be a near sell-out with close to 15,000 fans in attendance and will crown not one but two Money in the Bank briefcase winners. The 2024 WWE Money in the Bank event in Toronto had nearly 20,000 fans and was the most viewed Money in the Bank show in WWE history, with a viewership increase of 46 percent from 2023. The 2025 WWE Money in the Bank show should follow suit with a record-breaking show that sets the stage for some of the biggest events and storylines in the months ahead. The one-hour WWE Money in the Bank 2025 pre-show will air on WWE's official YouTube channel at 6 pm EST. The show's main card will begin at 7 pm EST on Peacock. The 2025 WWE Money in the Bank event features just four matches: The winners of the men's and women's Money in the Bank matches will have one full calendar year to cash in their briefcases for a world title shot at a time and place of their choosing. The women's match features six participants, including two new main roster newcomers: Tiffany Stratton won the 2024 women's WWE Money in the Bank match. She successfully cashed in her briefcase on Nia Jax on the Jan. 3 edition of SmackDown to win the WWE Women's Championship for the first time. Bliss is the only competitor in the match who's previously won the Money in the Bank briefcase. The 2025 men's Money in the Bank match also will feature six participants, including previous winner Seth Rollins: Drew McIntyre won the men's match in 2024. That same night, he cashed in his briefcase during Damian Priest vs. Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship, but he lost due to interference from CM Punk. By process of elimination, both Guilia and Roxanne Perez are mere weeks into their stints on WWE's main roster, having just been called up from NXT. While both stars are future cornerstones of the women's division, it's difficult to envision either star winning the world title within the next year given how they've been pushed so far. Fellow NXT call-up Stephanie Vaquer is already being portrayed as a massive star and would bt the best and most likely choice of newcomers to win the WWE Money in the Bank briefcase. But the women's ladder match ultimately should come down to three main roster mainstays in Alexa Bliss, Naomi and Rhea Ripley. Despite Bliss's strong crowd reactions, she isn't typically featured in title feuds under her current gimmick. And speaking of gimmicks, Naomi is doing tremendous work as a heel on SmackDown, where she's getting her first real chance to be involved in an emotional long-term storyline. The consistent betting favorite to win the 2025 WWE women's Money in the Bank match is, in fact, Naomi, who just so happens to be the best choice, too. Naomi has been so tremendous during her rivalry with Jade Cargill that it wouldn't be surprising to see her rewarded for that with a Money in the Bank win and future title victory. The only real obstacle standing in her way is Rhea Ripley, who is consistently pushed as arguably the No. 1 star in the women's division. Let's be honest, though: Ripley certainly doesn't need the briefcase. Naomi, however? She does, or else her path to a world title win becomes less clear. Women's Favorite: Naomi Much like the women's Money in the Bank match, the men's ladder match comes down to, at most, three superstars with a legitimate shot of winning. There have been no real indications whatsoever that WWE has any interest in pushing Andrade to the world title scene. In fact, he's struggling to stay afloat in the midcard, making him a true long shot to win the men's briefcase. The same can be said of Penta, who's new to WWE and a better candidate to win a midcard title in the near future. Penta is in a similar spot on the card to El Grande Americano, a character portrayed by Chad Gable that will likely be very short-lived. That boils this match down to three men: LA Knight, Seth Rollins and Solo Sikoa. While Sikoa hasn't been pushed hard as a singles act in recent months, one report suggests he is one of the top two favorites in the match. Truth be told, however, that ship has probably sailed, as Sikoa has clearly been surpassed by Jacob Fatu and is struggling to stand out without the benefit of being involved in The Bloodline. Does that open the door for Knight? Eh, probably not. This is the third straight year that Knight, a beloved star, will be in the men's Money in the Bank match, and he will no doubt be a crowd favorite in the Intuit Dome, too. But if Knight was going to win the WWE Money in the Bank match, that likely would have happened in 2023 or 2024, when his character was much hotter than it is now. That means that the 2025 men's Money in the Bank match is one man's to lose, and that's Seth Rollins. A previous MITB winner who has perhaps the most famous cash-in of all-time, Rollins is the runaway betting favorite to win the briefcase given his status as a top star and his massive push as the leader of WWE's biggest stable. Unless CM Punk or perhaps even Sami Zayn interferes and costs Rollins the WWE Money in the Bank match, then this is Rollins' match for the taking. After all, he's the odds-on frontrunner for a reason. Men's Favorite: Seth Rollins

Wrestling legend Ric Flair reveals cancer diagnosis after previously denying reports
Pro wrestling legend Ric Flair is battling skin cancer for the second time in three years, the Hall of Famer revealed this week. The former WWE star, 76, revealed the diagnosis in an interview with PEOPLE after previously denying reports last month, a decision he told the outlet whad been made out of concern for his privacy. "It's the second time in three years that I've been dealing with skin cancer," he told the outlet. "I will be undergoing treatment next week." Last month, Flair addressed the rumors in a post on X. "I'm Sorry People Have Been Misled By Social Media, But I Don't Have Cancer Of Any Kind," he wrote on May 5. "Thank You For Your Concerns And For Everyone Reaching Out. I Am Absolutely Fine, And Unfortunately, You'll Have To Live And Put Up With Me For Another 25 Years!" Flair announced his split from his fifth wife, Wendy Barlow, in September. In a post announcing the couple's divorce, he thanked Barlow for her support during a serious health complication in 2017. "I'll never be able to thank her enough for standing by my side through my terrible health crisis in 2017. She never left my side! And for that I will always be grateful," he said at the time. "We are working on different projects at the current time & it becomes difficult with my schedule & her schedule to make this work. "I wish her the best of luck with her projects, and I know that she supports mine." Flair was admitted to a hospital in Georgia in 2017, and according to Sports Illustrated's reporting at the time, he underwent surgery to remove part of his bowel. PEOPLE reported that doctors also found that he was in the early stages of kidney failure and on the verge of congestive heart failure, which were results of alcohol abuse.

A 'Home Improvement' Clip Is Going Viral For Exposing Just How Backwards We Have Gone As A Society
JIM WATSON / AFP via Getty Images ABC Photo Archives / Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images For reference, "Home Improvement" followed the life of DIY TV show host Tim Taylor, played by Tim Allen, his wife, Jill, and their three sons. It originally aired on ABC between 1991 and 1999. ABC via Disney+ 'I don't need Angela to make me a sandwich,' Tim tells Brad, who insists: 'She doesn't mind,' which Angela echoes. Tim reiterates: 'I don't need you to make me a sandwich, thanks. ABC via Disney+ ABC via Disney+ ABC via Disney+ ABC via Disney+ When Tim says that he does, Brad asks: 'And you think that's good?' and Tim reasons: 'Well, I don't know, it works for me… But maybe having Angela as your sandwich girl works for you, your whole life is sandwiches!' ABC via Disney+ Since being posted to TikTok, this clip has been liked almost 200k times, and racked up thousands of comments — with many of them saying the same thing. 'this would be called woke today,' a popular comment reads. Somebody else echoed: 'They tried to do a story like this these days MAGA would call it 'woke' and call for a boycott of everyone involved.' 'Funny how back then the audience would have perceived the dad as a 'good man', whereas now the same audience would call him 'woke/soft/leftist,'' another user added. 'now you would have 300 guys complaining it's woke,' one more agreed, while somebody else observed: 'It's almost like 'wokeness' that people keep referring to has always been there, it just wasn't wrapped up in inflated egos fueled by political rhetoric.' And one more concluded: 'I got so many of my lessons in being a man from 90s sitcoms. Just human lessons, not activists lessons.'
