Alongside her iconic rival, Lita, Stratus helped legitimize women's wrestling in an era often focused on "Divas." They were the first women to main event Monday Night Raw, and Stratus proved that female performers could be top-tier, all-around stars.
Stratus' ability to return and compete at a main event level 25 years later is a testament to her dedication and talent.
What's Next For The Hall Of Famer?
Stratus' performance against Tiffany Stratton at Evolution has fans buzzing about potential dream matches. With her current run set to continue, there are numerous fresh matchups available for the legend. A renewed feud with her longtime rival Becky Lynch is always a possibility.
Fans have also clamored to see her face off against other top stars like the powerhouse Rhea Ripley or the athletic Bianca Belair.
While it is unknown who Stratus will face next, her decision to continue wrestling opens up a world of exciting possibilities for the WWE women's division.

Latest Home Run Derby winners prove contest curse is a myth
The Home Run Derby 'curse' is a persistent myth in fantasy baseball circles, suggesting that winners of the annual slugfest see a dip in performance in the second half due to disrupted swings or plate discipline. The theory goes that the high-intensity, maximum-effort swings in the Derby throw off a player's mechanics, leading to slumps. However, a closer look at the past four Derby winners debunks this notion. Data shows that the curse is largely overstated, and Seattle's Cal Raleigh remains a strong power asset for fantasy managers in the second half of 2025. Let's begin with last season's winner, Teoscar Hernández, who stepped into the Derby after batting .261 with 19 home runs and 62 RBIs in the first half of the season. He finished the first round with 19 homers, won a swing-off in Round 2 to advance to the finals, then narrowly edged out Bobby Witt with another 14 home runs to earn the title. 3 Cal Raleigh #29 of the Seattle Mariners celebrates with teammates after scoring during the eighth inning against the Houston Astros at T-Mobile Park on July 18, 2025 in Seattle, Washington. Getty Images Typically a mid-tier power guy whose career-best 32-homer mark in 2021, the year MLB basically used a golf ball, Hernández went on to produce just as well in the second half. His strikeout rate remained well within the range of his career norms, and his batting average actually jumped 20 points. In 2023, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. won the Derby and also showed no signs of a curse. In the first half, he posted a .274 average with 13 home runs and a 15.6 percent strikeout rate. Post-Derby saw a slight dip in average, but he also hit the same number of homers in fewer games and dropped his strikeout rate to just 13.4 percent. A high-quality hitter, Guerrero never changed. 3 Teoscar Hernandez #37 of the Los Angeles Dodgers warms up prior to the game against the Milwaukee Brewers at Dodger Stadium on July 18, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. Getty Images Juan Soto's 2022 Derby win is often cited as evidence of the curse, but context matters. In the first half with Washington, Soto hit .250 with 20 home runs, 43 RBIs, and a 13.7 percent strikeout rate. After winning the Derby, he was traded to San Diego, and his second-half stats dipped to a .231 average with just seven home runs and a 15.5 percent strikeout rate. Not a steep decline in plate discipline, but the power was sapped by the cavernous dimensions of Petco Park. But was it the Derby that led to the reduced numbers, or was this decline more about adjusting to a new team and environment? Pete Alonso, the 2021 Derby winner, further debunks the myth as he carried his momentum into the second half with more homers in fewer games, better plate discipline numbers overall and a batting average increase by almost 30 points. Fantasy managers who bet on Alonso's power were rewarded. 3 Juan Soto strikes out swinging in the 7th inning at Citi Field for David Wright Day at Citi Field in Queens, New York, USA, Saturday, July 19, 2025. JASON SZENES FOR THE NEW YORK POST The data is clear. Three of the past four Derby winners either maintained or improved their performance post-Derby, with Soto's dip explained by external factors. For Raleigh, his power profile, plate discipline and switch-hitting ability make him a safe bet to avoid any mythical curse. Fantasy managers should confidently roster him, expecting robust home run and RBI contributions in the second half of 2025. The Home Run Derby is a showcase of power, not a swing wrecker.

"It is reported that the City of Chicago wanted to move the dates from July. NASCAR admitted that it was working with city officials on a plan that "further optimizes operational efficiencies" for the street race's return in 2027. It stated: "Thank you for all you have done to make the NASCAR Chicago Street Race one of the most iconic events in global sports. "Following the success of the first three years, the Chicago Street Race will hit pause in 2026 to afford us the time necessary to work collaboratively with the City of Chicago to explore a new potential date and to develop a plan that further optimizes operational efficiencies, with a goal to return to the streets of Chicago in 2027. "Together, we have built and grown an expanded community of fans that consists of longtime NASCAR enthusiasts and first-time racegoers from around the globe, and for that, we are immensely grateful. "Thank you for your continued support - and we look forward to seeing you at the races."

Colombia takes on Paraguay in the 2025 Copa América Femenina tournament, in an exciting matchup between two tough teams in South America.

Photo by RODRIGO BUENDIA/AFP via Getty Images How to Watch Colombia vs. Paraguay Date: Saturday, July 19, 2025 Time: 8:00 p.m. ET Venue: Estadio Gonzalo Pozo Ripalda Channel: FOX Sports 1 Stream: Fubo (TRY FOR FREE) Paraguay and Colombia are the two midtable teams in Group B of the tournament, sitting with three points and one point, respectively, through one game. That's out of a five-team group featuring Brazil (six points), Venezuela (one point), and Bolivia (zero points), with all of those teams having played in two games so far in the tournament. This second matchday showing for both Colombia and Paraguay will be vital for their hopes of advancing past the group stage of the tournament. Colombia opened its 2025 Copa América Femenina tournament with a rather dull 0-0 showing against rival Venezuela, one the country will need to bounce back from if it wants to advance. That's in contrast with a Paraguay team that soared in its first matchup of the event, defeating Bolivia 4-0 behind goals scored by Claudia Martinez Ovando and Lice Chamorro. Ovando scored a hat-trick of goals in the impressive showing for the 17-year-old. Can Colombia earn a crucial three points against Paraguay? Or will Paraguay carry over the positive momentum from the demolition of Bolivia against Colombia? Find out on FOX Sports 1, which will carry the exciting event, streaming live from Estadio Gonzalo Pozo Ripalda.
