Crystal Palace loses UEFA appeal over drop to third-tier Conference League
Crystal Palace lost its appeal at sport's highest court on Monday against demotion to the third-tier Conference League because of breaching UEFA rules on club ownership with American investor John Textor. The Court of Arbitration for Sport said its judges dismissed the English cup winner's request to stay in the more lucrative second-tier Europa League in a case that also involved Premier League rival Nottingham Forest and French club Lyon. Forest and Lyon are confirmed taking entries directly into the Europa League in September and Palace must start in the Conference League qualifying playoffs round next week. UEFA demoted Palace because Textor had a 43% ownership stake last season while also owning Lyon. Palace missed a March deadline set by UEFA to solve the potential issue. CAS said its judges decided Textor was a board member with decisive influence over both clubs at the time of UEFA's assessment date.

In front of thousands of fans, Cena with his WWE and Haliburton with his NBA title would have been iconic. Even though the vision was great, the leadup to it fell short and did not see either of those stars leave the MetLife Stadium with the gold. Self Made Sessions #1: Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers HHH was open to the idea, responding with a tentative 'we'll talk about it.' However, Haliburton's injury derailed the plan. Despite this, Levesque stayed in touch, checking on Haliburton during his recovery, which led to a new plan for SummerSlam.
