Randy Orton set to clash against returning superstar at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event
Randy Orton
walked into last week's
WWE
Night of Champions Premium Live Event in hopes of becoming King of the Ring. However, things did not go as per his plan. As he was still reeling from the effects of a huge loss that could have earned him a rematch against John Cena for the Undisputed WWE title, another superstar got in his way.
This came on the July 4th edition of Friday Night SmackDown, and now, both superstars are set to collide against each other at the upcoming WWE Saturday Night's Main Event.
Which superstar is set to face Randy Orton at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event?
On this week's edition of SmackDown, which was taped after the June 30th episode of RAW, Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes were involved in an in-ring segment. The American Nightmare was the superstar who defeated Orton in the finals of the King of the Ring tournament.
The Viper asked his former protege to make a promise that he would defeat John Cena at SummerSlam and win back the Undisputed WWE Championship.
At that moment, Drew McIntyre made his return to SmackDown, weeks after his gruesome Steel Cage match against Damian Priest on the May edition of WWE Saturday Night's Main Event. The Scottish Warrior began to trash-talk against the two top stars and took shots at them. Just as he had his back turned on Orton, he planted him with his finisher, the RKO.

Later on, he ran into SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis and was frustrated with what went down in the ring.

This was a huge addition to a stacked card announced for the show so far.
Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre had a heated rivalry back in the early 2020s over the WWE Championship. It was McIntyre whom Orton defeated to win his last World Championship so far.

Morne Morkel lifts Gautam Gambhir like a baby, India head coach screams in his ears: Wild scenes in dressing room
Belief. Anticipation. Jubilation. Nothing describes the first hour of Day 5 of the India vs England final Test at The Oval better than these words. Of course, if you are on India's side, that is. Or maybe not? After all, even former England captains Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain agreed that it would have been a "travesty" had England taken the series 3-1. Morne Morkel lifts Gautam Gambhir as Indian support staff celebrate Oval win It was the belief that made India stride out on Monday morning with a winning mindset when England needed 35 runs with four wickets. It didn't take them long to produce anticipation from belief, which soon turned into jubilation. Mohammed Siraj was at the centre of it all. Siraj kept India's belief going by dismissing Jamie Smith -- the only recognised batter - in the second over of the day's play. He gave England another body blow and India, a shot in the arm by trapping Jamie Overton lbw. England needed 20 runs with only two wickets in hand. 18 balls and a million oohs and aahs later, Prasidh Krishna dished out a rip-roaring yorker to rattle the stumps of Josh Tongue. 17 needed with one wicket to go. Out came Chris Woakes with a hand tucked inside his sweater. The man was out there trying to win a Test match for his country with a dislocated shoulder. What else do you need? Gus Atkinson started to throw the kitchen sink at everything. He didn't have too many options, to be honest. It got England 10 valuable runs before Siraj, who else? produced perhaps the best ball of the series, to knock down his off pole. All hell broke loose. A few metres away from the epicentre, watching it all unfold from the dressing room, was India's support staff. The dressing room's elevation gives the perfect view of things, which at times makes it a hotbed of emotions. Silence and exuberant screams played uncomfortable musical chairs. Every ball was an event, each run made them skip a beat and when a wicket fell, the decibels rose. There was the occasional wave of the hand from Gautam Gambhir, trying to draw India captain Shubman Gill's attention for a change of field. There were claps, there were hands on hands, there were moments of deep breaths... ...Emotions, the raw, unfiltered ones, are best captured in the dressing room. And there are very few in the current Indian team's setup that do justice to all things heart than head coach Gautam Gambhir. Credit to BCCI's media team for capturing its essence. The short video that they shared on all official handles of the Indian cricket team was, of course, fine-tuned with effects and elements, but not once in 110 seconds does it appear artificial. The tension, the agony, the joy, the disappointment and finally the celebration, it captures it all. Remember Rahul Dravid screaming his lungs out holding the T20 World Cup trophy a year ago? Well, this was not exactly an ICC trophy but Gambhir's celebration was a one to behold. And who's complaining? The six-run win -- the narrowest in India's Test history -- helped them draw the series; a draw that feels bigger than a hundred wins. Therefore, when Gambhir jumped into bowling coach Morne Morkel's lap – The former South Africa pacer's touring figure helped him lift Gambhir like a baby -- and screamed in his ears before landing a few kisses, it was not for the gallery; it was as real as it gets. Ryan ten Doeschate, India's assistant coach, was jumping. Adrian Le Roux, India's physio, could not stand still (who else could?) They all went into a group hug at the end of it all, their vocal chords beating any soundbox by a country mile. Two months of hard work, planning, blood, sweat, broken fingers and bones culminating in a 2-2 draw. But hey, who said draw is boring?

Priyanka Chopra REPLACED Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in THIS Sanjay Leela Bhansali film; Now rumoured to return in 'Love and War'
Amidst mounting speculation over Priyanka Chopra allegedly joining the cast of Sanjay Leela Bhansali 's much-anticipated film 'Love and War', reports seem to indicate that the actress could just make her return in another hit dance sequence. According to Bollywood Hungama, Priyanka's rumoured casting in Bhansali's upcoming film comes over a decade after she took over centre stage for a song sequence in 'Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-Leela' back in 2013. At the time, the actress stepped in for the dance number in the Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone starrer only after Aishwarya Rai Bachchan , who was originally set to perform in the song, exited at the last minute. Buzz About Love and War The song, 'Ram Chahe Leela,' went on to become a chartbuster. Now, with Bhansali deep into pre-production for 'Love and War', featuring Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor , and Vicky Kaushal , rumours have emerged that Chopra might return for a special number in the film. However, the new report appears to have dismissed those claims. 'No, Priyanka is not doing anything in Love & War,' the source claimed. How Priyanka Landed ' Ram Chahe Leela ' Interestingly, back in 2013, Priyanka's casting in the film generated a lot of buzz. At the time, Aishwarya had reportedly agreed to return to the screen after a two-year hiatus with the 'Ram Leela' dance number, marking what would have been her fourth collaboration with Bhansali. Reports from the Times of India at the time suggested the filmmaker was determined to cast Aishwarya, even as producers leaned toward Priyanka. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo In the end, Aishwarya backed out, opening the door for Priyanka's now-iconic performance. When Priyanka Denied Casting For Dance Number At the time, Priyanka, speaking to PTI, denied doing any song for Bhansali. She rubbished the reports saying, "It is an upsetting thing. Media reports keep coming about some actor doing this film or being replaced kind of stories... It's wrong... when you don't have clarity, then do not write it... by doing all these kind of stories, you give publicity to someone not needed." While her casting in the film still awaits confirmation, 'Love and War' has been generating a lot of buzz for another possible casting of Deepika Padukone in a prominent role. 'Love and War' is slated for a 2026 release.

Meet ‘Modern Family' star Eric Stonestreet's fiancée Lindsay Schweitzer
When we think of Eric Stonestreet , most of us picture Cameron Tucker from Modern Family: dramatic, hilarious, and heartbreakingly real. Away from the camera, he's found a perfect balance with Lindsay Schweitzer, his down‑to‑earth fiancée and lifelong partner in Kansas City adventure. They first crossed paths in 2016 at the Big Slick charity weekend in Kansas City, an event hosted by Eric alongside Hollywood pals like Paul Rudd and Jason Sudeikis. Lindsay was there as a paediatric nurse, and according to reports, Eric was touching the heart of a patient she'd cared for. She was instantly impressed: 'hearing him bond with that boy… it was pretty awesome.' Their friendship turned into something more when Eric DM'd her on social media to ask about the child. That message? That was the spark. They dived into a relationship that, despite the Hollywood‑to‑Midwest divide, grew stronger over years via texts, visits, and shared values. They began dating in 2016 and spent a couple of years doing long-distance: Lindsay commuting between Kansas City and L.A. while Eric was tied up filming Modern Family. But once the show wrapped and the pandemic hit, Eric packed his bags, moved back to the Midwest, and reunited with Lindsay permanently in 2020. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Simple Morning Habit for a Flatter Belly After 50! Lulutox Undo On August 22, 2021, Eric popped the question, and true to form, it came with a touch of trickery. Knowing Lindsay expected pranks, he convinced her they were shooting a test video for a possible social media campaign. With cameras rolling (and her twin nine-year-olds delivering their lines), Eric interrupted mid‑shoot and asked Lindsay to marry him. She responded with, 'Is this all a joke?' before saying yes, captured on camera, emotional, hilarious, and so perfectly their style. When is the couple marrying? Instead of diving into wedding plans, they opted to build a house together first, and make that home the venue for their future ceremony. Why not combine a wedding with housewarming? That's the plan: a backyard party in Kansas City with all their friends and Modern Family co-stars invited, he told PEOPLE. Eric jokes that he's loved everything about checking on progress, making decisions (paint colours and all), and idling around on the property mowing grass or scouting with his UTV. One of the sweetest parts of their life is Lindsay's twin boys, from a previous relationship, who Eric says are absolutely integral to their family unit. They even helped set up the proposal. Family time looks like backyard grilling (Eric's favourite), early breakfasts, evenings playing Wheel of Fortune, and bouncing ideas off each other for life and home. They prefer real, low‑flash living: staying in the Midwest, focusing on family, cooking, walking, and a shared sense of humour. Eric referred to his fiancée as someone who 'allows me to be humorous' and 'calms me' and he's clear she's not in show business, and that's precisely what he loves about her. Why this couple feels so real There's no Hollywood showmanship here, just a pair who value authenticity, soft humour, and real partnership. As Eric recently reflected, Lindsay isn't just a fiancée, she's his teammate in building a life. Whether it's building a house, navigating family dynamics, or being featured in goofy Instagram posts, their story feels refreshingly grounded in shared values, genuine partnership, and the kind of everyday love that Modern Family fans secretly root for.
