Naomi used newly customized MitB briefcase to get a match at Evolution
It came about after Naomi showed off the newest modifications to her Money in the Bank briefcase on the July 4 SmackDown. She did so by using it to clock Jade Cargill from behind after the Queen of the Ring winner and Trish Stratus paid their respects to one another and — now that the WWE Hall of Famer is back for a shot at Tiffany Stratton's WWE Women's championship on July 13 in Atlanta — teased a possible match at SummerSlam.
Shoutout to Naomi for that cackle. She's fully embraced her anime supervillain character, and it's been pretty great.

The trainer's room conversation SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis promised Cargill in the above clip led to a match against Naomi at WWE's second all-women PLE. The tweet and graphic don't say it, but they said it on the broadcast and WWE.com's write-up confirms that this will be No Holds Barred (essentially No DQ).
While Naomi's gotten the drop on Jade outside the ring several times since taking her out last November, their clashes in the squared circle have mostly gone Cargill's way (the exception being the Triple Threat Naomi won to qualify for Money in the Bank — but she pinned Nia Jax in that, not the former AEW star).
The stipulation fits the nature of the feud, and should open up the playbook for producers as they lay out the latest match in Cargill's big singles rollout. It's probably not the end of this feud though... especially since Jade has a title match at SummerSlam, and Naomi still has that briefcase.
Here's the updated card for next Sunday's Evolution:

Hidden Advantage Will Help Victor Wembanyama Topple Team USA in Los Angeles Olympics
Hidden Advantage Will Help Victor Wembanyama Topple Team USA in Los Angeles Olympics originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Last summer, it took a heroic fourth quarter effort from Stephen Curry for Team USA to beat Victor Wembanyama and France in the gold medal game, winning their fifth gold medal in a row. Advertisement Wembanyama had to settle for second in his first Olympics, tearfully wearing a silver medal in front of his home fans in Paris. The look on his face said everything we need to know: he's not going to settle for second ever again. As the NBA becomes increasingly international, the Americans seem to be losing their stranglehold on FIBA and Olympic basketball. In 2028, Los Angeles will host the games, and Wembanyama would likely love nothing more than to beat Team USA on their own turf, and he should have the support to do it. 'If you look at a more developed Wemby, you look at the Risacher, you look at some of these young players coming up from France over the next three to four years, I think France, in my opinion, not that they have the best basketball players in the world, but they can field a team of 12 players, France, in three to four years that will be on par with the US," said Richard Jefferson on the Road Trippin' podcast. Advertisement Jefferson predicts that Team USA will not win in 2028, and with Wembanyama, Risacher, Alexandre Sarr, Bilal Coulibaly, Joan Beringer, Noa Essengue, Nolan Traore, and Guerschon Yabusele, the French will be even better than last year, and it took the Americans everything they had to beat the less-experienced French. On top of that, America is losing its internal dominance. With the exception of Anthony Davis and Joel Embiid, the best big men in the NBA are all foreign, and even Embiid originally hailed from Cameroon. By 2028, it's safe to be that all of the best centers will be playing for other national teams, and the Americans will simply have no answer for a frontcourt lineup of Wemby and Sarr. 'You've always had dominant bigs," Jefferson pointed out. "The dominant bigs have faded from the US. And then you look at it. It's Joel Embiid. It's Giannis. It's Jokic. Most of the dominant bigs are coming over from Europe." Advertisement Losing the Olympic basketball tournament on their own turf would be the ultimate embarrassment for Team USA, but without certain weapons, it's hard to imagine them being able to rival the French in a single-elimination format.

Emmy On-Screen Diversity Takes A Hit With Acting & Hosting Nominations Down 18% From 2024
Twenty-eight actors and reality hosts from diverse backgrounds were recognized by the Television Academy with Emmy nominations on Tuesday, not only an 18% drop from last year's 34 but a near-low since 2019, when there were 26 non-Caucasian actors and hosts. At its highest, the most diverse year for actors and reality competition/talk show hosts was 2021 per Deadline stats with a massive 49 nominees. More from Deadline Primetime Emmy Nominations: 'Severance' Leads Field Ahead Of 'The Penguin', 'The Studio' & 'The White Lotus' – Full List 'Squid Game,' Diego Luna & Elisabeth Moss Snubbed In Emmy Nominations; Beyoncé & Martin Scorsese Among Big Surprises Jenny Slate On Emotional Journey To First Emmy Nomination For 'Dying For Sex': "I Knew Enough About Myself To Let It All Go" While there were only two categories last year devoid of nominees from diverse backgrounds (Guest Actor Comedy Series and Lead Actor in Limited Series, Anthology or Movie), this year there were three (Lead Actress in a Drama Series, Guest Actress in a Drama Series and Lead Actor in a Comedy Series). RELATED: The most diverse acting categories were Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series with Jessica Williams (Apple TV+'s Shrinking), Sheryl Lee Ralph (ABC's Abbott Elementary), Janelle James (Abbott Elementary), and Liza Colón-Zayas (The Bear) who made Emmy history last year as the first Latina to win the category. This is Colón-Zayas' second nomination. Another Emmy acting slot representing the most thespians of color was Lead Actress in a Comedy Series with Uzo Aduba (her sixth Emmy nom, for Netflix's The Residence, in a three-time Emmy-winning career), Ayo Edebiri with The Bear (who scored two Emmy noms this year in this category and comedy directing her Bear episode 'Napkins'), and Quinta Brunson for Abbott Elementary. RELATED: Had Diego Luna received a Best Actor in a Drama Series nom for Andor, it would have repped the first time two Latino actors shared the slot, the sole nominee this year in the category being Pedro Pascal for HBO's The Last of Us, his fourth career nom. Pascal is the second Latino nominee in the slot to be nominated more than once after NYPD Blue's Jimmy Smits' five-Emmy-nom streak from 1995 to 1999. Edebiri is the first Black woman to be nominated for acting and directing categories in a single year. She is also the youngest Black woman, at 29, to reach three Emmy acting noms in her career. She won best supporting actress comedy series in 2023 for her turn as Sydney Adamu on The Bear. She was nominated for a DGA Comedy Series directing award earlier this year for 'Napkins.' Abbott Elementary creator, EP and star Brunson counts 11 Primetime Emmy noms now in her career, having already won two for Outstanding Comedy Series Writing in 2022 and Lead Actress in a Comedy Series in 2023. She also nominated in the comedy series writing category for a third time this year, the first time a Black woman has achieved that benchmark with a single series. Brunson is tied with Stefani Robinson (Atlanta and What We Do in the Shadows) with the most writing Emmy noms by a Black woman. Brunson is also the first Black Woman to win for comedy writing. With his lead actor drama series nom for Hulu's Paradise, Sterling K. Brown ties with Don Cheadle and Andre Braugher with an overall 11 Emmy career noms across various categories. This is Brown's fifth Lead Actor in a a Drama Series nomination; he is a three-time Emmy winner, in 2016 for Limited Series Supporting Actor for FX's American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson, 2017 for Lead Actor Drama in This Is Us, and Outstanding Narrator in 2021 for Lincoln: Divided We Stand. Saturday Night Live's Bowen Yang is the only AAPI standout this year among noms, the sketch player landing a supporting comedy actor nom. Yang is now the most nominated Asian American actor in the Emmy books with four. Kristen Kish receives her second Emmy nom in Outstanding Host for Reality or Reality Competition for Top Chef. The TV Academy overlooked key performances from Asian actors and actresses in The White Lotus, The Studio and Squid Game. Other shoutouts: First-time nominees include Zach Cherry and Travel Tillman both in Supporting Actor for Apple TV+'s Severance, Anthony Mackie for playing himself in the streamer's The Studio in the Best Actor Comedy slot, also Zoë Kravitz for Guest Comedy Actress on The Studio, Javier Bardem as the twisted father in Netflix's Monsters in Supporting Actor Limited Anthology, and Ashley Walters in Limited Series Anthology for Netflix's Adolescence. There's also Ruth Negga, who is already a 2017 Best Actress Oscar nominee for Loving, who lands her first Emmy nom for Apple TV+'s Presumed Innocent in the Limited Anthology Series Supporting Actress category. Rashida Jones gets her second career Emmy nom and first above-the-line acting nom in the Lead Actress Limited Series Anthology category for Black Mirror. She was previously recognized in the 2015 documentary filmmaking category for her non-fiction feature Hot Girls Wanted.

Former Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley previously faced millions in lawsuits
The most recent lawsuit against former Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley is just the latest in a string of financial trouble the NBA veteran has faced over the last few years. As first reported by ESPN, Beasley was sued by New York's Hazan Sports Management Group on April 20 for breach of contract related to missed payments on a $650,000 advance. Hazan Sports is seeking $2.5 million of relief, though a court filing released on June 11 shows they and Beasley are currently in settlement talks. Advertisement Court records show that's not the only lawsuit plaintiffs have recently filed against Beasley, with the veteran having been sued twice by a rental property in Detroit in 2025. He also faced two lawsuits in 2024 filed in Milwaukee County Court, totaling more than $60,000 in relief awarded to the plaintiffs. Beasley is also under a federal investigation related to unusual gambling activity surrounding a game he played with the Milwaukee Bucks on Jan. 31, 2024. The Pistons were reportedly gearing up to offer a three-year, $42 million contract to Beasley, who initially signed with the team on July 6, 2024, on a one-year, $6 million deal. Beasley had a resurgent year with the Pistons in the 2024-25 season, smashing the franchise record for 3-pointers made (319) and helping Detroit to its first playoff berth since 2019. Beasley wrote a piece in the Players' Tribune on April 17, just before the start of the 2025 playoffs, calling Detroit a "perfect fit" and expressing his desire to come back to the Pistons. Advertisement But that reunion may be in jeopardy with word of Beasley's financial and legal issues. Malik Beasley sued by Detroit property manager Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley celebrates a 3-point basket against the New York Knicks during the first half of Game 6 in an Eastern Conference playoff first-round series at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on Thursday, May 1, 2025. Records from Detroit's 36th District Court show that Beasley and other occupants of a residence at The Stott, a downtown Detroit apartment located on Griswold St., were sued by Paperclip Properties LLC for non-payment of $14,150 of rent on March 6. Beasley did not show up to the hearing, though the case was later dismissed on March 31. However, Paperclip sued Beasley again on June 3 for non-payment of rent, this time for $7,355. Beasley once again failed to appear at the hearing when summoned, and the case is still ongoing. Advertisement Paperclip Properties LLC is a subsidiary of Bedrock Detroit, a real estate firm owned by Rocket Companies chairman Dan Gilbert.

Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports Two separate lawsuits were filed against Beasley on Sept. 18, 2024, one by Milwaukee-area dentist Hassan Alshehabi (of Delicate Smiles LLC) and another by Milwaukee barber Rekar Jaff (of Cairo Cuts). Separate judges both ruled in favor of Alshehabi and Jaff on Jan. 22, with Beasley ordered to pay $34,389.70 to Delicate Smiles and $26,826.76 to Cairo Cuts. A garnishment notice on both rulings was placed on Feb. 7, meaning the payments were set to come out of Beasley's paychecks. Advertisement Beasley played with the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2023-24 season, playing in 79 regular-season games and leading the team in three-pointers made (224). Beasley sued by money lender The biggest known financial lawsuit against Beasley involves South River Capital, a Maryland-based company that specializes in lending money to athletes. South River sued Beasley in Baltimore County on Jan. 26, 2022, and was awarded $5.8 million in damages. The lawsuit was filed while Beasley was playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves, where he played from 2019-22. It is unclear how much money Beasley borrowed from South River, nor why South River sued. Advertisement Beasley was the No. 19 overall draft pick by the Denver Nuggets in the 2016 NBA Draft and has played on six teams over his nine-year career. According to Spotrac, he has made approximately $59.9 million in career earnings during his time in the NBA.
