WWE Raw Highlights, Winners And Grades
CM Punk Faces Off With Gunther
CM Punk basked in the cheers from the Toyota Center. He put Gunther over as 'One of the best in the world,' and admitted he didn't know if he could beat Gunther.
Gunther interrupted and basked in the heat of the Toyota Center, which chanted 'You tapped out!' and 'CM Punk!' before he said a word.
Gunther cut a short-but-sweet promo, calling Punk's fans degenerates and vowing to retain at SummerSlam.
Sheamus Def. Rusev
The announce team really played up how Sheamus has never beaten Rusev in singles action. Given the fact that these two were running it back, there's almost no way Sheamus won't win.
Fans still aren't into Rusev as much as they once were, but this match was well received by a red-hot, sold-out crowd in Houston.
Rusev tried to use a Shillelagh, but it backfired and Sheamus hit a Brogue Kick for his first win over Rusev.
LWO Def. The New Day And American Alpha
Xavier Woods debuted a change in gear as he is now wearing trunks. Still mourning from their Tag Team Title loss, Corey Graves noted the New Day deserved bereavement leave.
LWO immediately dazzled upon tagging in with a double-team springboard move. Fans chanted 'New Day Sucks' as soon as they doused LWO's flame.
Joaquin Wilde went…crazy during his comeback, including a unique double-pin on the New Day for a nearfall. The LWO aren't the most popular tag team (not even close, unfortunately), but whenever given the chance they get over like crazy.
After outside interference from Ivy Nile and Dragon Lee, El Grande Americano got involved and attacked Dragon Lee.
Wilde fought out of New Day's finisher and rolled up Kingston for the win.
Backstage, Grayson Waller gleefully broke the news to the New Day about Austin Theory's injury. This is the blowoff to almost a year-long tease that the two were going to split.
Becky Lynch Calls Out Lyra Valkyria; Judgment Day Def. Bayley And Lyra Valkyria
Backstage, Lyra Valkyria was furious that Bayley sandbagged her by forcing her into a Tag Team Title match behind her back. Lyra was focused on her IC Title match against Becky Lynch at SummerSlam, and Lyra doesn't trust Bayley. Bayley was acting heelish, but when Lyra told Bayley 'I beat your ass last week,' fans turned on Valkyria.
Becky Lynch did a much better job getting heat from this crowd from the moment she spoke. Lynch was once again dressed in red and yellow, further leaning into the internet Hulk Hogan comparisons.
Becky Lynch proposed that if she beats Lyra Valkyria, Lyra will never be able to challenge Lynch for the women's IC Title again. I have a feeling Bayley will cost Lyra the women's IC Title.
Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez's new entrance is very similar to the Gunns.
Fans decided they liked Dirty Dom Mysterio, chanting 'Dirty Dom!' at the beginning of the match.
Bayley went for an aggressive tag on Lyra before taking the gas off and lightly tagging her in. Bayley quickly tagged herself back in as fans chanted 'Dirty Dom!'
Raquel Rodriguez accidentally kicked Dirty Dom and took a basement kick from Valkyria for her troubles. Medical personnel checked on Dirty Dom, but one of the doctors turned out to be Dr. AJ. Enter Becky Lynch, who dragged Lyra off the apron. With nobody to tag, Bayley took a Tejana Bomb after Raquel made a blind tag.
Karrion Kross Def. Sami Zayn
There were dueling chants of 'Let's go Sami/Let's go Kross!'
Sami Zayn hit an Arabian Press to the outside, but that's when he really started selling his ribs.
Scarlett created a diversion, and Karrion Kross used a steel pipe on Sami's ribs. A bloodied Kross picked up his biggest win of 2025.
Backstage, Dirty Dom announced he was cleared after attacking AJ Styles from behind.
Iyo Sky Vs. Stephanie Vaquer Ends In A DQ
Fans went crazy during a backstage segment between Iyo Sky and Stephanie Vaquer where this match was made official. They went even crazier for Houston legend Mattress Mack.
Vaquer and Sky exchanged high-risk moves in the first half before Raw went to break.
Just when it seemed Iyo was breaking away with her offense, Stephanie Vaquer answered with a flurry of her own. This was a true back-and-forth match.
Iyo went for a sunset flip out of the ring, but Vaquer stopped it, kneed her in the throat and hit back-to-back pairs of the Devil's Kiss. Fans still chanted 'One more time!'
There was a 'Holy s—t!' chant after a reverse superplex. Just in time for Chelsea Green and the Secret Hervice to interfere, causing another non=finish between Stephanie Vaquer and Iyo Sky.
As Vaquer and Sky stood tall, Naomi shoved Iyo into Vaquer, then Rhea Ripley hit the ring and cleaned house.
Roman Reigns Calls Out Paul Heyman
Paul Heyman (flanked by Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker) said that before Roman Reigns comes out, he had a lot to get off his chest. This brought out Roman Reigns immediately.
Paul Heyman said Seth Rollins is going to be out of action for 'A long, long time.' I don't buy it. Heyman offered Reigns a spot in his new stable.
Fans chanted 'You sold out!' and 'Shut the F up!' as Heyman tried to make his case.
Roman Reigns told Breakker and Reed to 'Sit under the learning tree,' before warning them that Heyman was going to inevitably turn on them.
Reigns called the Bloodline 'God's work,' and gave credit to the Usos, Solo Sikoa and Sami Zayn for creating the Bloodline.
Reigns derided Heyman for betraying him and his family for his 'Best friend' CM Punk. After calling Heyman a 'dumbass time and again," Houston serenaded Heyman with chants of 'You're a dumbass.'
Born Breakker said Reigns was worthless, he was the Old Dog and Bron is the Big Dog now. Reigns attacked Heyman's new family before taking a Spear from Breakker. Jey Uso made the savae to a huge pop as Roman and Jey ended the night with a double Spear.

Lionsgate & Universal's Michael Jackson Biopic ‘Michael' Moves To Pre-Summer 2026

Lionsgate and Universal's Michael Jackson biopic Michael is officially moving to Friday, April 24, 2026, and that's a global theatrical release. At the same time, we hear that a second movie about Jackson remains in development. More from Deadline 'Good Fortune' Trailer: Aziz Ansari Comedy With Keanu Reeves & Seth Rogen Headed For TIFF Ryan Fleck & Anna Boden's 'Freaky Tales' Sets HBO Max Premiere Date Lionsgate Marketing Heads JP Richards And Keri Moore Exiting Company We told you at CinemaCon there were distribution plans afoot for this on the Antoine Fuqua directed, Graham King produced feature. Michael will also get a release on Imax screens. The delay with Michael has been twofold, one being length — there was a first cut in excess of three and a half hours. There have also been reports that the initial cut of the movie made references to 13-year old Jordan Chandler, who accused Jackson of molestation, and who the pop singer settled with for $20M in 1994 with no admission of guilt. The Jackson estate explicitly wanted nothing about Chandler in the film, which led to more shoots on the production. Three-time Oscar nominee John Logan penned the screenplay. Jackson's nephew, Jaafar Jackson, plays the King of Pop. Currently, there aren't any major studio wide entries on April 24 next year, hence a great choice for Lionsgate. Michael will open in the wake of New Line/Blumhouse's Lee Cronin's The Mummy and Amazon MGM Studios/Miramax's Liam Neeson starring, Frankie Shaw directed 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank on April 17. Michael will also precede the May 1 release of 20th Century Studios' The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Warner Bros/Legenary's Animal Friends. This is the third time that Michael has moved. The pic's first release date was April 18, 2025 then Oct. 3, 2025. Oscar winner King's previous music biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody, won four Oscars and grossed over $910M at the worldwide box office. Kino Films is releasing the movie in Japan while Universal has the rest of the world.

Klay Thompson Reveals How Being ‘in Love' with Megan Thee Stallion Has Upped His Golf Game

Klay Thompson has become better in more ways than one since making things official with Megan Thee Stallion. The Dallas Mavericks shooting guard, 35, recently planned a date at a nine-hole golf course with Megan, 30, that was chronicled on her Instagram and TikTok pages on Wednesday, July 23. The video begins with the rapper explaining that he let her choose her outfit. The basketball player went to Academy Sports + Outdoors to purchase a couple of options, which included a pink athletic skirt and a lavender collared t-shirt, as well as a black athletic skirt with a white t-shirt. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! Megan ultimately chose the white shirt, paired with the pink skirt, while Thompson opted for black shorts, a baby blue collared t-shirt and a black hat that read "Protect your energy." After explaining that she had a meeting to attend before her date with Thompson, the video cut to a clip of the two riding in a golf cart driven by the NBA star. Thompson was then seen sitting on a bench while Megan pointed out fish in a lake. She then cuts to a closer look at her outfit as she tells Thompson, "You picked it? You think it's cute?" "Uh-huh. You even got the cute shoes on [and] the shirt. I did well," he says. "I'm really proud of myself." The two ultimately then start golfing, as Thompson jokes that he is Tiger Woods. After he hits a ball, the two go look for it to continue playing, and Thompson calls Megan his "good luck charm." Megan eventually attempts to hit a gold ball herself with Thompson guiding her every step of the way. The video ends with the two sharing a kiss, and Thompson declares that "ever since I've been in love, my golf game's reaped all the benefits." The couple first sparked romance rumors when Megan posted an Instagram photo with Thompson in the background in early July. On July 16, they made their red-carpet debut at the Inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City.

Wax lyrical: Taylor Swift gets lucky 13 Madame Tussauds statues

US pop megastar Taylor Swift will be honoured with 13 waxworks of her at Madame Tussauds venues around the globe, the museum said on Wednesday. In honour of Swift's lucky number, 13 of the waxwork museum's 22 branches will each receive a statue of the "Love Story" and "Blank Space" singer, in what it called the "most ambitious project" of its 250-year history. The statues were inspired by some of the 35-year-old songwriting sensation's looks from her record-shattering "Eras Tour" from 2023 to 2024. With 149 shows across the world over nearly two years, the tour raked in $2 billion, making it the most lucrative in music history to date. More than 40 artists worked for more than a year on the statues of Swift, one of the most acclaimed artists of her generation with 14 Grammy Awards. "This is the most ambitious project in Madame Tussauds' 250-year history, which only feels right to reflect the stratospheric status of Taylor Swift," said Danielle Cullen, the museum's senior figure stylist. UK-based Swifties are well served, with one waxwork slated for London and another for the northern seaside resort town of Blackpool. Another 10 will find a permanent home at the branches of Madame Tussauds in Amsterdam, Berlin, Budapest, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Las Vegas, Nashville, New York, Orlando and Sydney. The thirteenth statue, which will travel around the remaining museums, will begin its worldwide walkabout with a residency at Madame Tussauds Shanghai. adm/sbk/rlp
