He refused to release the hold after the match ended. This led to his former ally and rival, Sheamus, to come down to the ring to confront him.
The New Day vs. The War Raiders vs. American Made
The triple-threat tag team match was for the New Day's WWE World Tag Team Championships. It was a highly explosive showdown with three different teams bringing their styles to the high-stakes match. The ending of the saw Xavier Woods rolling up Julius Creed using his singlet for leverage to retain the titles for his team.
Liv Morgan vs. Kairi Sane
Liv Morgan made her return to WWE TV from her Hollywood project. She confronted Dominik Mysterio about recent events that have been happening with Judgment Day and Roxanne Perez earlier in the night. Later on, she had an exciting match against Kairi Sane. However, Perez came down to the ringside in the final moments of the bout. She pushed Sane off the top rope and got into an altercation with Raquel Rodriguez. The distraction cost Morgan as Sane took advantage to pick up the win.
Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria's segment
Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch had a heated exchange over the fact that Lyra had now beaten Lynch twice in her career. The Man proposed a third match for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship, and if she lost, she would never challenge Valkyria for the title, to which she agreed.
Sami Zayn vs. Finn Bálor vs. Seth 'Freakin' Rollins
This was the main event and the last Money in the Bank Triple Threat qualifying match of the night. Tensions were evident between Seth Rollins and Sami Zayn, while Finn Balor tried to gain the upper hand. Dominik Mysterio came in the end and pushed a chair into the ring. Balor attempted to grab it but instead got his head stomped into it by Rollins, who pinned him to qualify. Right after his win, CM Punk's music hit, and he entered the ring from behind to nail Rollins with a GTS.
Punk ran out into the crowd before Rollins' faction members, Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker, could get their hands on him.

Aaron Rodgers' helmet drama overshadows Steelers debut as NFL bans longtime gear of choice
Aaron Rodgers' NFL comeback with the Pittsburgh Steelers faces an unexpected hurdle (Imagn Images) Aaron Rodgers may have finally inked a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the quarterback isn't completely at ease as he prepares for his 2025 NFL comeback. While fans are still wrapping their heads around seeing the four-time MVP in black and gold, Rodgers is grappling with a very personal equipment crisis — the NFL has banned his favorite helmet model just ahead of the season. The NFL's crackdown leaves Aaron Rodgers scrambling for new gear During his first press conference as a Steeler, Rodgers didn't hold back when asked about the NFL's updated helmet guidelines. His frustration was clear, and for good reason — the league recently banned the Schutt Air XP Q11 helmet, Rodgers' trusted gear for over two decades. ' I can't stand the [new] helmet,' Rodgers admitted. 'I've worn a Schutt for 20 years and somehow it finally didn't pass the safety standards.' The Schutt Air XP Q11 was already marked as "not recommended" in 2024 and has since been completely disqualified by the league's safety committee. According to NFL Chief Football Administrative Officer Dawn Aponte, the move is part of a broader initiative to enhance player protection and reduce head injuries. 'As helmet technology continues to improve, widespread adoption among players continues to make a difference,' Aponte said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Egypt: New Small Electric Car For Seniors. Prices Might Surprise You. Electric Cars | Search Ads Undo 'Equipment staff at the club level serve a critical role in helping players understand the current offerings and work with them to select an option that levels up protection and offers a great fit.' The irony? Rodgers' previously trusted helmet had been considered a "Top-Performing" model as recently as 2022 — a sharp reminder of how rapidly safety standards and technology are evolving in the league. For Rodgers, who will turn 42 later this year, switching helmets isn't just a minor inconvenience. It's a major adjustment at a point in his career where comfort and consistency could make all the difference. With training camp looming and the spotlight burning even brighter in Pittsburgh, Rodgers now faces the task of adapting to unfamiliar equipment while attempting to lead the Steelers into playoff contention.

The veteran signed a one-year deal worth $13.65 million, with an additional $5.85 million in incentives. Coming off a solid 2024 season with the Jets — 3,897 passing yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions — expectations are sky-high. Whether a new helmet will throw him off his rhythm remains to be seen.

In rare white glove sale at SoBo auction, MF's 25 artworks fetch over 68cr
1 2 Defying calls for a ban from right-wing groups earlier in the week and under tight police watch, 25 artworks by MF Husain fetched Rs 68.5 crore at a court-mandated auction in South Mumbai on Thursday that made for a rare white glove sale where every artwork found a buyer. A total of 25 paintings across 21 lots from Husain's 'Our Planet Called Earth (OPCE)' series went under the hammer. "Two of the lots were triptychs, each made up of three individual works," said auctioneer Dadiba Pundole. The evening's highest bid was Rs 9.5 crore for a dramatic triptych from the OPCE series, followed by Rs 8.5 crore for a Gandhi-themed canvas, both acquired by the same buyer. The auction, held at Pundole Art Gallery in Hamilton House in Ballard Estate and overseen by the Bombay High Court through the office of the Bombay Sheriff, went ahead smoothly. Just days earlier, the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti had submitted a memorandum demanding a ban on the sale, warning of "strong public protest" if it proceeded. The protest was eventually called off. "The auction proceeded without a hitch. I think the police did a fantastic job," said auctioneer and gallerist Dadiba Pundole. In 2004, then nearing 90, Husain set out to create 100 paintings that would, in his words, "document the century I have lived through." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 今すぐ、2025年最高のRPGゲームを制覇しよう！ BuzzDaily Winners ゲームをプレイ Undo The result was the OPCE collection that reflected his fascination with global events and human achievement spanning the World Wars, space exploration, aviation, cinema, and the tension between nature and modernity. That same year, industrialist Guru Swarup Srivastava bought these paintings from Husain for Rs 25 crore, a record-breaking figure at the time. Only 25 were completed before the deal collapsed, following Srivastava's Rs 236 crore loan default that led to National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED) securing the artworks in 2008. These artworks remained in legal limbo for over a decade before going under the hammer on Thursday. Painted in acrylic on expansive canvases, the OPCE works remain among Husain's most theatrical. The top-selling lot — a large untitled triptych painted in 2004 and exhibited in Paris and Dubai — depicts two seated figures resembling soldiers or explorers at one end, and a butler in a top hat offering a drink at the other. At the centre lies a reclining figure that evokes classical depictions of Christ in scenes of the Deposition. Art experts have called this one of the most enigmatic works in the OPCE series, with viewers left to speculate whether the figure is resting, unwell, or just theatrically posing. The second-highest sale of the evening was an acrylic-on-canvas white and grey toned portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, which went for Rs 8.5 crore where Gandhi's face is deliberately cast in shadow, with a white dove — symbol of peace — hovering near his head. The figure is rendered through familiar details such as the pleats of his dhoti, a pocket watch, his staff, and in the corner, a rural farmer with a plough. Both paintings had been stored rolled for years and were carefully conserved, cleaned, re-lined, and stretched, with minor restoration work ahead of the sale. The auction drew strong participation from in-room bidders, as well as online and phone buyers, including international interest. The proceeds will be deposited with the Mumbai Sheriff and subsequently handed over to the High Court. Husain, long regarded as one of India's most celebrated and controversial modernists, remains a polarising figure. His depictions of Hindu deities and Bharat Mata sparked legal battles and right-wing outrage, eventually pushing him into self-imposed exile. He died in London in 2011, a citizen of Qatar. But as Thursday's sale showed, even in his absence, Husain continues to provoke and to command the room. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .

David Beckham, Oscar winner Gary Oldman knighted in King Charles III's Birthday Honours
Former England football captain David Beckham and Oscar winner Gary Oldman are among the key figures awarded knighthoods in the 2025 King's Birthday Honours list on Friday (June 13) for their contributions to sport, charity, and music, respectively. The Who singer Roger Daltrey and actor Gary Oldman also received the honour. Beckham, who made 115 appearances for England as well as for some of the world's most high-profile clubs, including Manchester United and Real Madrid, will now be known as "Sir", and his wife Victoria, a former member of the Spice Girls pop group, will be known as Lady Beckham. The 50-year-old, who has long been in the running for a knighthood, was appointed an officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2003, a lesser award in Britain's honours system. Later, Victoria received the same award for services to the fashion industry.

But UK authorities placed a red flag on his nomination due to his involvement in an alleged tax avoidance scheme, according to previous reports. He was subsequently cleared. The former England captain's knighthood is the culmination of years of efforts to transcend football and turn himself into a global icon at the intersection of sport, fashion and business. Live Events In a statement issued to the Press Association, Beckham said, "Growing up in east London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British, I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour," AFP reported. "I'm so lucky to be able to do the work that I do, and I'm grateful to be recognised for work that gives me so much fulfilment," he further stated. Roger Daltrey, Oscar winner Oldman also knighted Daltrey, who co-founded The Who in 1964, will also take the title of sir. He has been recognised for his services to charity and music in King Charles III's Birthday Honours list. The 81-year-old singer has been a patron of Teenage Cancer Trust since 2000, holding fundraising concerts at London's Royal Albert Hall for more than two decades. "It's kind of weird, but I am deeply honoured to get this, especially for the charity for the Teenage Cancer Trust, and I accept it on their behalf, really, because this honour is really for all unsung heroes," the "My Generation" singer told the Press Association. "It's a dream come true for me, but it's especially a dream because the charity means so much," he added. Oldman, who won a best actor Oscar for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in 2017's "Darkest Hour", also received a knighthood for his services to drama. The 67-year-old's films have earned over $11 billion, and his credits include the "Harry Potter" series, The "Dark Knight" Trilogy and "Air Force One", along with cameo appearances in the sitcom "Friends" and music videos for David Bowie and Guns N' Roses. Stage star Elaine Page, who played Eva Peron in the first production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Evita", and novelist Pat Barker have both been made dames. Barker is known for her World War I "Regeneration Trilogy", the first book of which was turned into a Hollywood film starring Jonathan Pryce.
