WWE RAW Results And Highlights: Roman Reigns Delivers Spear, Assists Jey Uso In Extreme Rules Match

WWE RAW Highlights: Jey Uso defeated Bron Breakker with Roman Reigns' help while Iyo Sky avenge her loss to Raquel Rodriguez. The latest offering WWE RAW came from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and gave fans plenty to look forward to. In a captivating night, multiple intense battles were fought. Jey Uso's main event bout with Bron Breakker saw an appearance from Roman Reigns, while Ivo Sky squared off against Raquel Rodriguez for the second time in two weeks. Here's how the results at this week's Monday Night Raw shaped up in Pennsylvania. Jey Uso Defeats Bron Breakker, Roman Reigns Appear Jey Uso's main event clash with Bron Breakker saw Roman Reigns appear with a roar and deliver a spear on Breakker to help Uso win the Extreme Rules match in the latest episode of WWE RAW. Using intervention from Bronson Reed and Seth Rollins, Breakker looked set to be heading for a victory against Uso. However, the chaotic tussle ended in Uso's triumph when Reigns' surprise entry proved harmful to Breakker. As the Original Tribal Chief fended off Reed with a superman punch, Uso took advantage of the assist and hit Brekker with a superkick, followed by a frog splash that ended the contest. Iyo Sky faced up against Raquel Rodriguez for the second time in two weeks after losing to her in the previous episode of Raw. It was a chance to avenge the defeat and Sky stood in no mood to let go of the opportunity. The match started on an awful note for her, however, as she got slammed early on by Rodriguez. Mounting her troubles were the running interference by Rodriguz's Tag Team partner, Roxanne Perez. But Sky soon made amends, giving Perez a strong splash and backing it up with an Over The Moonsault on Rodriguez before executing the pinfall for her victory. Penta vs Xavier Woods New Day member Xavier Woods faced Penta in another intense clash at this week's Raw. The two strong wrestlers gave each other a hard time, landing heavy moves and forcing their rival to stretch every ounce of their endurance. Despite Kofi Kingston present there for support, Xavier Woods soon experienced the might of Penta, who eventually gained the upper hand. He even splashed onto Kingston after leaping over the ropes and unleashing the Mexicon Destroyer. Penta then went for the pinfall against Woods and won. Judgement Day's Victory; Becky Lych Wins After Submission In a tag team face-off, Mr. Iguana and Dragon Lee paired up against Judgement Day. After starting with Dragon Lee and JD McDonagh, the match soon turned to Mr. Iguana and Dominik Mysterio following the tap. The two teams came up with an impressive performance, unleashing heavy moves that threatened to tilt the scales decisively their way. However, Judgement Day eventually won after Finn Balor struck Mr. Iguana with a top-rope Coup de Grace. Balor then went for the pin and successfully ended the tussle. Becky Lynch's duel with Natalya saw Lynch successfully defend her Intercontinental Championship crown. In a one-sided affair, Lynch played aggressively from the start. She slammed Natalya into the ring post before producing the DisArmHer armbar on Nattie, from which she initially managed to free herself. However, Lynch eventually got the desired tap outs from her opponent after slapping back the DisArmHer armbar on her. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Pune hosts exhibition to mark Austrian poet Ernst Jandl's birth centenary

Written by Viraj Mandar Paranjape To mark the 100th birth anniversary of Austrian poet, writer, and translator Ernst Jandl, the Goethe-Institut Max Mueller Bhavan Pune, in collaboration with the German Department of Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU), has organised a special exhibition celebrating his life and work. The exhibition features 24 multisensory installations in German, English, and Marathi, and seeks to bring alive Jandl's experimental style through 3D structures, soundscapes, visual projections, and artistic interpretations. Dr Fetz, who has written extensively on post-war Austrian literature, underlined how Jandl used poetry as resistance against the misuse of language in propaganda, turning words into tools of liberation rather than manipulation. Known as a pioneer of German-speaking concrete and sound poetry movement, Jandl explored the very texture of language in his works — whether through sound poems that only reveal their meaning when spoken, visual poems where the arrangement of words is central, or satirical verses that comment on politics, war, and human behaviour. Poems such as Schtzngrmm — imitating the rattling of machine guns during World War II — showcased his ability to convey meaning through pure sound. Speaking at the inauguration, Alicia Padros, Deputy Director and Head of the Language Department at Max Mueller Bhavan Pune, said the exhibition highlights Jandl's groundbreaking use of 'sound, structure and space' and reflects the institute's effort to promote German culture in innovative formats. The programme also featured a skit by university students depicting the grim emotions of World War II, along with a Kathak-based dance performance by Aishwarya Joshi on Jandl's poem 'West l du mich.' The piece interpreted the poem through classical Indian dance, connecting German literature to Indian traditions and highlighting how art and language can bridge cultures. Vaishali Dabke, Projektreferentin Bildungskooperation Deutsch / Project Manager Educational Services at Goethe Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan, added, 'We want to encourage more and more Punekars to learn foreign languages, break barriers, and explore German through poets like Ernst Jandl. This exhibition at The Box Studio offers an exclusive experience that goes beyond the page.' Curated by Chaitanya Modak, the exhibition is thematically arranged around five motifs explored by Jandl: being one with nature, being human, being civilised, being warriors, and the idea of death.
