WWE star Drew McIntyre trolls SummerSlam foes with viral Coldplay meme
The hottest pop culture story has been the affair scandal at Coldplay's recent concert, and WWE star Drew McIntyre capitalized on this with a meme for his SummerSlam foes, Jelly Roll and Randy Orton.
He took to social media to share a picture of Orton and Jelly Roll photoshopped into Coldplay's fancam. Orton is holding the country music singer from behind just as Andy Byron was holding Krisin Cabot.
Needless to say, the post went viral. McIntyre's post has accumulated nearly five million views since it was posted on X, formerly Twitter.
This caused Orton to respond with his own version of the meme. He and Jelly Roll are singing the Cardigans' 'Lovefool' in his version of the meme. Their lips move with the words.
Coldplay caught an affair red-handed
During Coldplay's July 16, 2025, concert in Foxborough, Massachusetts, Chris Martin and the band accidentally exposed a cheating couple. Astronomer CEO Byron was shown on the jumbotron while embracing his Chief People Officer, Cabot.
When they were shown, Byron quickly ducked out of view. 'Either they're having an affair or they're very shy,' Martin quipped as the moment unfolded.
It turns out that Byron is married to someone else. So, they were caught cheating in front of thousands of those in attendance at Coldplay's concert. Plus, the moment went viral online, with a bevy of memes spawning from it.
WWE star Drew McIntyre's SummerSlam match
It is nice to see the Superstars having fun before their showdown. Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul will face Randy Orton and Jelly Roll in a tag team match at the 2025 SummerSlam PLE.
McIntyre is one of WWE's top heels, and he is joining forces with Paul, another top bad guy. They are facing Orton, who is one of the company's most popular babyface stars.
Together, the trio will have to carry Jelly Roll in his in-ring debut. The Grammy-nominated singer has been training to make his wrestling debut. He will be getting in the ring with three legends of the business.

Ryan Reynolds's ad agency, Maximum Effort, was behind the Gwyneth Paltrow Astronomer ad
Gwyneth Paltrow isn't the only big name attached to Astronomer's cheeky response to " Coldplaygate." Ryan Reynolds' company, Maximum Effort, announced its involvement with a lighthearted X post on Sunday. "Thank you for your interest in Maximum Effort, @astronomerio! We'll now get back to what we do best: motion pictures with Hugh Jackman, Fastvertising and Wrexham football," the post said. "We'll leave data workflow automation to ̶ G̶w̶y̶n̶e̶t̶h̶ ̶P̶a̶ Astronomer. Reynolds launched Maximum Effort with his business partner, George Dewey, in 2018. The company makes ads, movies, and shows, often with an irreverent bent. Astronomer's cofounder and new CEO, Pete DeJoy, thanked Maximum Effort in a LinkedIn post on Sunday after praising his staff. "I'd also like to thank the team at Maximum Effort for their remarkable work with our very temporary spokesperson," DeJoy said. "As Gwyneth Paltrow said, now it's time for us to return to what we do best: delivering game-changing results for our customers. We look forward to what this next chapter holds for Astronomer." Although Astronomer began July as a little-known tech company, it grew into a pop culture phenomenon after its now-former CEO, Andy Byron, attended a Coldplay concert with the company's now-former head of human resources, Kristin Cabot. A "kiss cam" projected the pair embracing on a jumbotron during the concert. Cabot spun around and shielded her face, while Byron attempted to duck out of view. "Uh oh, what? Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy," Coldplay front man Chris Martin said onstage. A clip of the moment — now dubbed "Coldplaygate" — was shared widely on social media, where people cracked jokes and shared related memes. Companies and sports teams also got in on the fun. Following the flood of attention, Byron and Cabot resigned from their positions with the company. Astronomer was left to pick up the remains of its public reputation. That's when Paltrow entered the scene. Paltrow, who was previously married to Martin, appeared as a "temporary" spokesperson for Astronomer in a one-minute video shared on social media. At the time of writing, the video has 149,000 likes and over 36 million views. Instead of answering the internet's burning questions, Paltrow used the platform to promote Astronomer's products. "Thank you for your interest in Astronomer," Paltrow said at the video's end.

Couple embarrassed to be seen at Coldplay concert
There are plenty of places people don't want to be caught having an affair. Say in the bathroom of a Panera or their husband's bed. But concerts are among the worst. Want to have a romantic tryst? Try avoiding the Nickelback or Katy Perry concerts. The last thing you want is your wife finding out you've been stanning Three Doors Down in addition to kissing your son's geometry teacher. But hindsight is 20/20, and as one couple is finding out the hard way, Coldplay has a kiss cam. As users of social media are likely already aware, Andy Byron, the CEO of Astonomer, was caught on the kisscam canoodling with his Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot, at a Coldplay concert. The silver lining is that they won't have to disclose their relationship to HR as the news has rocketed across social media. Now, users must live with the reality that the CEO of one of the industry leaders in DataOp platforms powered by Apache Airflow, a man they likely once considered 'Daddy' (no relation to the Coldplay hit 'Daddy') or even 'Zaddy,' is a Coldplay fan. Usually, The A.V. Club wouldn't take such delight in public displays of schadenfreude, but what can one do when Coldplay is such a reliable source of search traffic? Initially posted by TikTok user @instaagraace, the video features singer Chris Martin engaging in some innocent stage banter by pointing the concert cameras at the audience. Following the crowning of an overjoyed, unnamed birthday boy, Byron and Cabot can be seen gently swaying in blissful ignorance of a very near future wherein the world sees Byron performing the old 'my girlfriend's paying' routine with Cabot after what was surely a rockin' rendition of 'Viva La Vida.' Their revelry ends as Byron and Cabots' respective piercing blue eyes gaze upon the circular jumbo tron, like a magic mirror showing them an encroaching reality where their personal lives are disrupted for, let's say, the next few months. We can imagine the taunts now: 'So, Andy, see any stars lately? Do they shine for you? Are they all yellow?' Just humiliating. 'Oh, look at these two,' Martin says as the couple turns in horror. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.' Perhaps they're just a little embarrassed to be seen having such a good time. Sadly, the stink of being outed as a Coldplay fan doesn't wash out so easily. More from A.V.

Fans Announce 'Boycott' Of ESPN Over Hulk Hogan Article
Fans Announce 'Boycott' Of ESPN Over Hulk Hogan Article originally appeared on The Spun. Fans have announced a "boycott" of ESPN over their story on Hulk Hogan's death. Hogan, the iconic wrestling star, died on Thursday. He was 71 years old. The legendary wrestler, perhaps the most important in the history of the sport, had a controversial life. The legendary wrestler was caught on video using the N-word 18 years ago. He ultimately apologized and was allowed back into the WWE. But to many fans, that was the final straw. ESPN posted an Andscape article on its homepage with the headline: "Professional wrestling star's career is no match for his racism." ESPN writer David Dennis Jr. wrote that Hogan's legacy was being a racist. "When you are a racist that is your legacy above all else," Dennis says. "Hulk Hogan died being known a racist who also became famous as a professional wrestler." Dennis Jr. didn't hold back. "Hulk Hogan admitted that he is a racist. He once told his son he was scared Karma would bring them back as Black men. When you are a racist that is your legacy above all else. It's not complicated. This is what I wrote," he wrote. Not everyone agrees, though. Some fans are now "boycotting" the story. "Hey jerkoff, a question for you… When Kobe Bryant died, did you post an article saying he should only be remembered as an adulterer, or for the homophobic slurs he used? Exactly.👍🏼," one fan wrote. "His good and positive impact on culture and society far outweighs the bad," one fan added. "EVERYONE'S legacy is complicated, including yours. What if we were all judged by the single worst thing we had ever done or said? The world would certainly look like a much different place. Be a little more introspective in your life and less judgmental," one fan added. "Posting this while HH's body was still warm tells us everything we need to know about you," one fan added. "No one is reading that," one fan added. What do you make of ESPN's controversial story on Hulk Hogan's death this week?
