Fallon Henley Explains Her Actions During the NXT Women's Title Match On WWE NXT
Fatal Influence's Fallon Henley revealed the reason behind her actions in the main event of last night's episode of NXT.
The main event of last night's episode of NXT was the NXT Women's Championship match between the champion Stephanie Vaquer and the challenger, Fatal Influence's Jacy Jayne. This match was made official at the NXT Battleground Premium Live Event. Jayne attacked Vaquer backstage, and that led to Ava Raine booking this match.

Following the announcement, the former NXT Women's Tag Team Champion took to Twitter to share a message about her title match.
'4 years of sitting around WAITING for a championship opportunity. 4 years of busting my ass day in & day out…just to STILL be an after thought. No more. I'm making my opportunity & I'm taking it. Because now it's personal. See you Tuesday,' Jacy Jayne tweeted.
For most of last night on NXT, Fallon Henley seemed to be envious of her faction member. Henely constantly kept saying that she deserves the title shot over Jayne. Even during the match, both members of Fatal Influence were not on the same page. The two kept arguing during the match as well. Towards the end of the match, Stephanie Vaquer was hanging on the ropes, Jazmyn Nyxx distracted the referee, and Fallon Henley attacked La Primera. Jayne capitalized and hit the Discuss Punch to win her first single's championship on NXT.
Henley took to Twitter to share that the reason she helped her faction member win the title was because the team, Fatal Influence always comes first.

Tom Girardi, former 'Real Housewives' husband, sentenced to 7 years in prison
Former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" husband and attorney Tom Girardi was sentenced to seven years and three months in prison Tuesday for embezzling millions of dollars from former clients. Judge Josephine L. Staton also ordered the 86-year-old to pay $2.3 million in restitution to victims and a $35,000 fine during the hearing in Los Angeles court. Last year, the disbarred attorney and estranged husband of "RHOBH" star Erika Jayne was found guilty of stealing tens of millions of dollars in settlement funds from former clients for more than a decade. His victims included relatives of those killed in the 2018 Lion Air crash in the Java Sea, which killed 189 people. The former powerhouse used to run the Girardi Keese law firm, which is now closed. "Girardi sent lulling communications to the defrauded clients that, among other things, falsely denied that the settlement proceeds had been paid and falsely claimed that Girardi Keese could not pay the settlement proceeds to clients until certain purported requirements had been met," the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California said in a news release. "These bogus requirements included addressing supposed tax obligations, settling bankruptcy claims, obtaining supposedly necessary authorizations from judges, and satisfying other debts." Federal prosecutors said that Girardi used his status to pilfer money from clients, whom he represented in cases involving severe injuries. "This self-proclaimed 'champion of justice' was nothing more than a thief and a liar who conned his vulnerable clients out of millions of dollars," said U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bilal Essayli. Girardi was convicted by a federal jury of four wire fraud charges after a 13-day trial in August. Christopher Kamon, a former head of accounting for Girardi's law firm, was also tried for two counts of wire fraud and accused of aiding and abetting the former lawyer's scheme, according to the U.S. attorney's office. Kamon pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Girardi's son-in-law and former lawyer for his firm, David Lira, will also go on trial next month for federal fraud charges. Girardi is known for his role in the 1993 groundwater contamination lawsuit against Pacific Gas and Electric Co. The case inspired the 2000 film "Erin Brockovich," which starred Julia Roberts. He also appeared regularly in Bravo reality series "RHOBH" alongside his now-estranged wife. Federal prosecutors said Girardi diverted more than $25 million from his law firm's operating account to pay expenses for EJ Global, a company formed for Jayne's entertainment career. The money was spent on luxury cars, private jet travel, jewelry and exclusive clubs, according to prosecutors. Jayne, 53, filed for divorce in 2020 after allegations against Girardi emerged, and has said on the show that the divorce is in process because of his mental and physical decline. She was named in a lawsuit that alleged she knew about Girardi's embezzlement in the Lion Air case, but has maintained that she had no knowledge of any fraud he committed. Jayne was dismissed from the suit in 2022. Girardi was deemed fit to stand trial early last year despite his lawyers arguing that he has Alzheimer's disease, which they said left him confused and with memory problems. Girardi had been living in an assisted care facility throughout the trial and while awaiting sentencing. The former lawyer was ordered to surrender to federal authorities no later than July 17. Jayne was in London on Tuesday when Girardi was sentenced, preparing for a performance at the city's famed KOKO club. In an interview with Vogue U.K. that was also published Tuesday, she spoke about picking herself up after dark times. "We all go through things — you have to realize that you're not the only one," she told the outlet. "And you have to find the will to take baby steps until you feel more comfortable, and those baby steps might last for a long time." This article was originally published on

The CW will broadcast Savannah Bananas baseball madness as network leans into live sports
Baseball isn't boring and the CW isn't stupid, at least when it comes to the Savannah Bananas, the Georgia-based team that has rewritten the rules around the classic American pastime. The network has picked up rights to broadcast the July 27 Bananas game at Citizen's Bank Park in Philadelphia. "Banana Ball" incorporates humor, gymnastics, lip syncs and snappy dance choreography in a minor league baseball game with rules that definitely don't match those of Major League Baseball — though many of the players once had MLB aspirations. This year the team has sold out 18 major league ballparks, plus three football stadiums with capacities of more than 70,000. Advertisement Read more: Going bananas: Why Savannah Bananas tickets cost more than a Dodgers-Yankees rematch The CW in recent years has been leaning into live sports coverage, which has generally been delivering ratings results in a rapidly changing TV-viewing landscape. The network has the NASCAR Xfinity Series, WWE NXT on Tuesday nights, Grand Slam Track, AVP beach volleyball on summer Saturdays, ACC and Pac-12 football games in the fall and, starting next year, PBA professional bowling. The Savannah Bananas come with a built-in audience earned via posts on TikTok, Facebook Reels and the like. The team has 10 million followers on TikTok alone. 'We've always been very clear about our goal,' Bananas owner Jesse Cole told The Times in 2022. 'We exist to make baseball fun.' Advertisement 'It's all about energy. We want to give people energy, delivering it every second, from the moment we open the gates at two o'clock until the last fan leaves at 11," he added over the weekend, when the team played to a sellout crowd at Anaheim Stadium. Read more: Meet the Savannah Bananas, who've captivated fans and MLB. 'We exist to make baseball fun' There's definitely an audience appetite for the Savannah team: There are tickets available for games in August and September, but only through a lottery — and the wait list for the lottery is more than 3 million names long. Last season's games drew a million fans total. On Friday, the only way into the Anaheim game was through the resale market. Hours before the first pitch, the lowest price (fees and taxes included) for a pair of Bananas tickets on StubHub was $209.52, while it took a mere $171.72 to snag a pair of tickets to the Yankees-Dodgers series opener at Dodger Stadium the same night. Advertisement Who needs Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge anyway: Banana Ball has the Savannah team facing rival outfits the Texas Tailgaters, the Firefighters, the Party Animals and the Visitors. And while Ohtani and Judge can be counted on for multiple home runs, only the Bananas deliver baby races, a dancing umpire and backflips before balls are caught in the outfield. Plus the games are limited to two hours max, something even the much-loved MLB pitch clock can't deliver. Read more: Dropped Aaron Judge ball sold by MLB (not Dodgers) gets $43,510 in auction 'The Savannah Bananas have taken the sports world by storm through their high-energy blend of baseball and entertainment that connects with viewers of all ages,' Mike Perman, senior vice president of CW Sports, said in a statement Tuesday. Advertisement 'We are thrilled to partner with them for their broadcast television debut, and we cannot wait to bring our audience every unpredictable play in front of what promises to be an electric atmosphere in Philadelphia.' 'Banana Ball on The CW is a no-brainer,' Bananas owner Cole added in that news release. "After seeing their recent commitment to sports, we knew this could be a great partnership. With the speed and entertainment of Banana Ball, we look forward to creating new fans together in the years to come.'
