Did Shane McMahon sideswipe a car in Chapel Hill? Reddit is on the case
Shane McMahon is a bit of a renaissance man. He's the son of a disgraced wrestling promoter, certainly, but also a respected businessman in his own right. And he earned the respect of the WWE locker room by falling off massive structures at various points throughout his career (please, try to ignore the ignominious quadriceps incident that forced Snoop Dogg into in-ring action at Wrestlemania).
This all makes him a fairly recognizable figure. So recognizable that, say, if he were to ding up a stranger's car while parallel parking, someone watching would do a double take before muttering "wait, is that Shane O'Mac?"
Per Reddit user zeth2death, that's precisely what happened April 13. They saw a car get scraped by a black minivan with New York license plates, only for the driver to emerge looking a whooooole lot like the man whose baby punches helped convince a generation of young fans that pro wrestling was, in fact, predetermined. McMahon, as it turns out, had reason to be in the area at the time. His son Kenyon is a sophomore defensive back at the University of North Carolina.
The Tar Heels' Practice Like a Pro day, held instead of a traditional spring game, took place April 12. Since Kenyon has yet to see the field at UNC, this would have afforded McMahon a chance to watch his son in action for potentially the first time since wrapping up his high school career. But did he scratch up someone's car while parking en route to smashing a couple hot dogs the day after the game? McMahon has yet to address the (extremely minor) accusations.

39 Infuriating TV Moments That Enraged Viewers
A bit ago, Reddit user Whitino asked, "What TV show or movie had a character or plot that made you genuinely angry, and what was it?" and people had plenty to share. Here are 39 TV plotlines, aspects, and scenes that made people so genuinely angry, they almost gave up — or even did give up — the show. On Dexter, when Deb confessed her feelings for step-brother: When Andy became a brat again in Season 9 of The Office: When Landry killed someone on Friday Night Lights, and his dad helped him cover it up: When Five and Lila got together on The Umbrella Academy: Just everyone helping Mike cover up his fraud on Suits: The plane crash in Breaking Bad: When Nate leaked Ted's panic attack to the press on Ted Lasso, then went to work for Rupert, because he felt "neglected" by Ted: When The Walking Dead killed Glenn: And, before that, Glenn's fakeout death: Also, Beth's death on The Walking Dead: When Rory revealed she was pregnant at the very end of the Gilmore Girls revival: On Game of Thrones, when the Mountain killed Oberyn: And when Stannis sacrificed his daughter Shireen: Aaand when Bran became king: Just the existence of Brian in The Office: When Denny came back as a ghost on Grey's Anatomy: When Logan died right after marrying Veronica on Veronica Mars: When Spike attempted to sexually assault Buffy on Buffy the Vampire Slayer: When Frasier had Daphne go away to 'fat camp' because the actor was pregnant: When it was revealed Luke had a daughter on Gilmore Girls: When Dan was revealed to be Gossip Girl on Gossip Girl: Suggested by u/FreshLuxeThis will NEVER make sense to me. There were times Dan reacted to a Gossip Girl post while ALONE as if he was just seeing it!!! Also, I don't know how it was a love story to Serena. He spread rumors that she was pregnant and that she had an STI, among other things — the whole site started with a photo of an underage Serena in a wet, white dress that revealed more than Serena would've wanted shown. He constantly stalked her and her friends — yes, even if a lot of it was through others sending tips, I think it still counts. Also, let's not forget his tip caused the paparazzi swarm that caused Blair to have a miscarriage. And I haven't even gotten to the stuff he revealed and wrote about his own sister. I don't care if she gave him permission or not. And when Dan and Blair dated on Gossip Girl: When House had a bone marrow plotline and made it seem terrifying: When Ben killed Locke on Lost (literally like two minutes after convincing Locke not to kill himself???): When Bones decided to make Bones baby wild: And when Bernadette and Penny got pregnant on The Big Bang Theory: On The 100, when Bellamy betrayed everyone and voted for Pike as chancellor: And of course, when Clarke killed Bellamy, which was wildly out of character: When Rick and Morty moved to the new Earth on Rick and Morty: Alll the messed-up messaging about men and consent on Friends: And when Joey and Rachel got together on Friends: When Jackie and Fez got together on That '70s Show: Regina's redemption arc on Once Upon a Time: When Tyler was brutally assaulted in the bathroom on 13 Reasons Why: Suggested by u/KovuthebilionThis show had already taken things too far in what they were willing to show onscreen. But once they moved past the source material of the book, it got even worse. This was genuinely so disturbing to watch, and I never turned on the show again. I don't think they needed to have yet ANOTHER character go through a sexual assault, and if they insisted on writing that, they still did not need to show it. It was so gratuitous and messed up. When Roseanne revealed that the entire last season of Roseanne had just been a fictional story she was writing in a book: When Christopher cheated on Adriana on The Sopranos: When A was revealed to be Spencer's identical British twin, Alex, on Pretty Little Liars: Suggested by u/cannoliruleYes, this happened right at the very end of the show, but it still made me mad (though to be fair, it hadn't been good since the time jump). It felt like they wanted to honor the novels — which gave Ali a twin — but did it in the worst possible way. I think Troian was the best actor on the show by far, but her British accent was so laughably bad I can't take it seriously. The whole thing was nonsensical and ridiculous. When Kim showed up on Law & Order: SVU: And finally, the end of How I Met Your Mother: Now it's your turn — what TV plotline made you so furious, you had to stop watching the show, or at least take a break?

Shotzi Blackheart: WWE's Ron Killings controversy 'shows you how much power the fans do have'
Shotzi Blackheart is one of the many wrestlers happy to see Ron "R-Truth" Killings make his unexpected return to WWE this past Saturday. The past couple of months have been chaotic for WWE regarding talent releases and contract expirations. Blackheart received her walking papers in early May, making her the first of many eventual casualties from the WWE roster. However, no departure had as large of an impact as Killings' brief exile before fan outcry led to his surprise return at WWE's Money In the Bank main event. Advertisement Debate on the legitimacy of Killings' release has raged throughout the wrestling community since WWE CEO Paul "Triple H" Levesque claimed that it was "all part of the show." Appearing in-studio Tuesday on Uncrowned's "The Ariel Helwani Show," Blackheart, 33, expressed how much inspiration a situation like Killings' can give to a veteran wrestler like herself. "I do think that they actually let him go," Blackheart said. "I just feel like [that] because, also at the same time, Carlito and Sarah Logan, [WWE] told them that their contract wasn't getting renewed. So I think it would be really messed up of WWE to capitalize on that, too. 'I think the fans got him [to get re-signed] back, and that just shows you how much power the fans do have. I think that's really cool ... it's amazing. Yes, he's 53, [but] that just gives us hope that I could be 53 years old and be put in some crazy storyline, right?' Killings' unexpected saga has already bled into "WWE Raw." In a viral segment on Monday, he declared that he'll no longer be known as "R-Truth," the persona Killings wrestled under for the past 17 years. Advertisement Prior to her own release, Blackheart said she did her best to find her lane within the WWE universe. 'I was really hopeful that I was going to get something on 'SmackDown,'" Blackheart said. "They told me I would possibly be working with Chelsea [Green] in something. I was pitching some storylines with her. It was just week after week, they were like, 'Oh, we're going to move it back.' Then it wasn't until around [WrestleMania 41] where I was like, 'Maybe they're not going to renew my contract.' So it started to get real around then.' Blackheart remembered feeling a strong mix of emotions when she sat idle during that time. In an effort to remain positive, the former NXT Women's Tag Team Champion said she'd convince herself that WWE's creative team would eventually use her again, so she continued pitching ideas left and right. Blackheart returned to NXT this past December after an ACL tear took her off WWE television in early 2024. Upon her arrival, she was told it'd only be a two-month stint with NXT before her main roster return. But that return never came, and Blackheart instead was sitting around alone at home when the call came that she was no longer needed in WWE. Advertisement 'Part of me was like, 'OK, I need to get ready for this because my contract is going to be up and I don't get those 90 days to figure out my stuff and get bookings lined up, get merch lined up,'" Blackheart said. "So I also have to think, 'OK, what am I going to do if they don't re-sign me?' I was kind of just in the mode of, 'Get to work.' 'Unfortunately, that's just how it is. I probably will never know why they released me, but WWE doesn't owe me anything. That's showbiz, right? They just didn't think that I was money, and that's OK. I can take that." Shortly before her release, Blackheart cut an emotional self-produced promo, highlighting her lack of utilization in WWE. The shoot-style promo was good enough that people around her worried whether it was the reason she was released. Blackheart herself doesn't believe that was the case, though. Advertisement Although the wounds are still relatively fresh, Blackheart didn't want to waste time and put her career on hold following her WWE departure. She made her GCW debut this past Sunday, competing against Matt Tremont and Jimmy Lloyd in a three-way deathmatch. Blackheart claimed she made as much money in her two days back on the independent circuit as she'd make in a week with WWE. 'I was like, I need to work as soon as my contract is up. That's me hustling, though," Blackheart said. "That's me, including what I've sold online and meet-and-greets, [plus] payout for my matches, of course. I know that it's not going to be like that forever. 'When you first get back on the indies, everyone's so hyped, so everyone wants to buy your merch and [support] you. I know that won't be forever, but it felt good that I can make it on my own." Whether the next chapter of her career continues to come on the independent scene or elsewhere, Blackheart made it clear that no doors are being closed on her options moving forward. Advertisement "I would love to be back in WWE. I loved working there," Blackheart said. "I didn't love not working there. It was only when I wasn't being used that I was unhappy, but any time I was being used, [it was a] good time. [I] loved the locker room, loved everyone I was working for. That's just it. I just don't want to go back and not work. 'I love TNA, I love AEW. AEW [could be a next step] for so many reasons. I love their freedom. I have a lot of friends there who are doing really awesome things. I've heard many stories of how [AEW owner] Tony [Khan] treats talent. I do love that he really cares for his talent. That is super important to me."
