WWE Pulls Off Biggest Surprise As Roman Reigns Makes Grand Comeback
Roman Reigns returns to WWE Raw, saving CM Punk and Jey Uso from Seth Rollins' goons.
The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) pulled off the biggest surprise for fans during the latest episode of Monday Night Raw on July 14, as superstar Roman Reigns stunned everyone by making a comeback. A jam-packed crowd at the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama, couldn't believe their eyes seeing the former WWE Champion and Tribal Chief Roman Reigns return after months.
Away from the spotlight since WrestleMania 41, Reigns got the whole arena erupting in shock and disbelief once his music started playing towards the dying moments of the Gauntlet match between CM Punk and Bron Breakker.
The powerful wrestler stormed into the ring and rescued Punk and his cousin Jey Uso after Seth Rollins' goons, Breakker and Bronson Reed, started attacking them. The show closed with fans anticipating more of Reigns at the WWE with the marquee SummerSlam event at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, to be held in a few weeks.
The rumours are that Reigns was always part of the company's planning for the SummerSlam in New York and thus returned with the Monday Night Raw in Alabama, drawing the episode to a fantastic closure while also providing a snapshot of what viewers can expect at the upcoming WWE special.
Punk and Breakker had entered an intense fight in the final leg of the Guntlet match to determine who would face Gunther for the World Heavyweight title at SummerSlam. The two wrestlers gave each other a hard time, landing heavy blows on each other.
Fans enjoyed the captivating showdown before Punk eventually came out triumphant.
It is when Reigns arrived to everyone's disbelief. The music quickly died down as Reigns rushed to the ring to save Punk and his cousin, Uso, assisting him in standing up.
Reigns even seemed to get along well with Punk, having previously had problems with him. What fans are now anticipating is one of the greatest events of the year, with a potential Reigns versus Breakker clash.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner Dies At 54: ‘Cosby Show' Star And Grammy Winner Remembered
Last Updated: Emmy-nominated actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, best known as Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show, dies at 54 after drowning in Costa Rica. Emmy-nominated actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, best known for his portrayal of Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show, has died at the age of 54. The actor tragically drowned while swimming at Playa Cocles on Costa Rica's Caribbean coast, as confirmed by the country's Judicial Investigation Department. Warner, who was on vacation with his family, was pulled into deeper waters by a current. First responders found him unresponsive. Born on August 18, 1970, in Jersey City, New Jersey, Warner was just a teenager when he became a household name on The Cosby Show, which aired from 1984 to 1992. His performance as the charming and relatable Theo earned him a Primetime Emmy nomination in 1986. Decades later, he remained proud of his time on the show, once saying, 'We were still on top enough to go out on top, but we were ready to live our own lives." Warner was candid in later years about the impact of misconduct allegations against Bill Cosby, expressing that it saddened him how the show's legacy had been affected. 'In a few generations, the Huxtables will have been just a fairy tale," he said in 2015. But Warner's life and career extended far beyond the Huxtable living room. He starred in Malcolm & Eddie (1996–2000), a successful sitcom with Eddie Griffin, where he also directed 17 episodes. He went on to appear in acclaimed shows like Sons of Anarchy, Suits, The Resident, and Grownish. His role as Dr. A.J. Austin in The Resident further cemented his range as a dramatic actor. Warner was also a celebrated musician and spoken word artist. He won a Grammy in 2015 for Best Traditional R&B Performance for 'Jesus Children" and was nominated in 2023 for Best Spoken Word Poetry Album. In recent years, he continued to evolve his voice through music and activism. In 2023, he launched his podcast Not All Hood, aimed at exploring the many dimensions of Black identity. 'There are so many different facets of the Black community," he said, 'and we wanted to have a space to acknowledge all those aspects." Warner is survived by his family, including his young daughter, whom he called his greatest inspiration. 'Being a new parent… it's really awesome," he told CNN in 2017.

Fact Check: Karan Veer Mehra NOT Playing Villain Opposite Ranveer Singh In Don 3
Last Updated: Reports claiming Karan Veer Mehra as the main villain in Farhan Akhtar's Don 3 are false. Casting for the role is still underway. Don 3, the highly anticipated reboot directed by Farhan Akhtar, has been creating waves ever since it was announced. While Ranveer Singh is officially stepping into the shoes of the new Don, and Kriti Sanon is reportedly finalised as the female lead, a slew of rumours about the rest of the casting continue to flood social media. One such claim was that Bigg Boss fame Karan Veer Mehra would be playing the main villain in the film. However, that's far from the truth. According to a new report by Pinkvilla, there is no truth to the rumours about Karan Veer Mehra's involvement in Don 3. In fact, he is not even being considered for the antagonist's role. A source revealed that earlier, actor Vikrant Massey was in advanced talks to take on the negative role opposite Ranveer Singh. However, the deal eventually fell through. Currently, the casting process for the film's primary antagonist is still ongoing. The makers are reportedly looking for a younger actor who can bring both style and depth to the action-packed role. Several names from within and outside Bollywood are being considered, but no final decision has been made yet. So far, only Ranveer Singh and Kriti Sanon are officially locked in for the lead roles in Don 3. The film marks Farhan Akhtar's return to directing after 15 years. His last outing as a director was the Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra-starrer Don 2 in 2011, which remains a fan favourite. Don 3 is currently in the pre-production phase, with shooting expected to commence in January 2026. The film will require an intense prep period for Ranveer Singh, especially considering the demanding nature of the character. Produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani under the banner of Excel Entertainment, Don 3 is expected to hit theatres in 2027, depending on production timelines.
