Becky Lynch Takes Epic Shot At Nikki Bella's Relationship With John Cena
This week's episode of RAW took place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, just one night removed from SummerSlam. Becky Lynch successfully defended her title against Lyra Valkyria, which guaranteed Lyra couldn't challenge her for the title anymore.
Lynch appeared on RAW, with WWE teasing fans would find out what's next for her as the Intercontinental Champion. That answer came quickly in the form of Nikki Bella, who called Lynch a disappointment in the women's division. The pair traded digs back and forth, then Lynch delivered a verbal jab that had the audience saying, 'Holy shit' in response.
'Do not talk about me and my hot husband,' Becky Lynch said to Nikki. 'Me and my hot husband are the greatest wrestling couple of all time. But wait a minute, at one point, that would have been you and your… [Becky Lynch feigns shock, with the punchline being that Nikki and John Cena broke up / didn't get married].
'Oh wait, you can't see him anymore!' Lynch added.
Becky Lynch has two more challengers in waiting
The segment ended with Nikki asking for a title shot. Lynch simply sucker punched the two-time Divas Champion and left, but it looks like Lynch met her next challenger and WWE will likely make a match official soon.
Before we get to Becky vs. Nikki, however, fans will see 'The Man' in action on RAW next week. Natalya, Maxxine Dupri and Tozawa approached Becky backstage about the in-ring incident. Nattie called out Becky for her behavior, but Becky said they were cowards for teaming up on her. Nattie then challenged her to a match on next week's episode of RAW, which Lynch accepted.
Nattie said she would see her next week, but Lynch informed her that the match is with Maxxine, not her. 'See you next week, Sweet Cheeks!' Lynch said, mockingly blowing a kiss to Maxxine on the way out.

Quentin Tarantino Opens Up About Why He 'Pulled the Plug' on THE MOVIE CRITIC — GeekTyrant
Quentin Tarantino is still on the hunt for his final film, and now we finally shares why The Movie Critic didn't make the cut. The legendary director had previously teased the project as his tenth and final movie, and fans were eager to see what kind of cinematic mic drop he had in store. But as it turns out, Tarantino decided to walk away from the project even after writing the full script. On The Church of Tarantino podcast, Tarantino opened up about why he ultimately scrapped the film. 'No one's waiting for this thing per se. I mean, I can do it whenever I want. I mean, it's already written. So OK, let me just not start it right now,' he explained. 'Let me try writing it as a movie and let me see if it's better that way. And I was like, 'Oh, OK, no, I think this is going to be the movie.' And then it wasn't. I pulled the plug on it. And the reason I pulled the plug, it's a little crazy.' The idea for The Movie Critic began as an eight-part limited series, which Tarantino then shaped into a feature film script. While he admits he was hyped about the writing process, the energy didn't carry over to pre-production. 'I was so excited about the writing, but I wasn't really that excited about dramatizing what I wrote once we were in pre-production.' That lack of enthusiasm wasn't the only red flag. Tarantino also challenged himself with the subject matter, which centered around a seemingly mundane profession. 'But there was a challenge that I gave to myself when I did it. Can I take the most boring profession in the world and make it an interesting movie?' he said. 'Every Tarantino title promises so much, except The Movie Critic . Who wants to see a TV show about a f*ing movie critic? Who wants to see a movie called The Movie Critic ? If I can actually make a movie or a TV show about somebody who watches movies interesting, that is an accomplishment.' Set in 1977 California, the story was reportedly inspired by a real-life, lesser-known writer who reviewed movies for a porn magazine. Despite earlier reports that it would be a continuation of Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood , Tarantino shut that down hard. 'It's a spiritual sequel to Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood in so far as they take place in the same world and they take place in the same town. But there were no crossover characters. Cliff Booth was never in The Movie Critic . That's all a bunch of bull**. That never was the case ever, ever, ever.' That hasn't stopped Brad Pitt's character Cliff Booth from living on. While The Movie Critic is no longer on the table, Pitt is reprising his role in Netflix's upcoming film The Adventures of Cliff Booth , directed by David Fincher. So what's next for Tarantino's final movie? That remains a mystery. According to sources, he's gone back to the drawing board, looking for a new idea that will truly excite him and his fans. I'd still like to see what Tarantino had planned for The Movie Critic . He should just go back to his original plan and develop it as a series. Then it wouldn't count as his finale film.

Wrestling Legend Chris Jericho Sparks WWE Return Speculation
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A simple social media interaction from Chris Jericho has ignited a firestorm of speculation about his future in professional wrestling. With his AEW contract reportedly expiring at the end of 2025, fans are wondering if a historic return to WWE could be on the horizon. Jericho, who has been absent from AEW television for several months, "liked" a notable Instagram post over the weekend. The post recapped his own previous comments about being open to a WWE return. Chris Jericho's Telling "Like" The Instagram post in question discussed Jericho's expiring AEW contract and revisited a past interview where he said a WWE return "would depend on the situation." Jericho's acknowledgment of this post, at a time when his future is so uncertain, was immediately picked up by fans as a potential hint. This social media activity has fueled intense discussion. It comes as Jericho is at a major crossroads in his legendary career. Chris Jericho has liked a post on Instagram about being open to a return to WWE once his contract with AEW expires at the end of this year. — Wrestle Ops (@WrestleOps) August 17, 2025 Chris Jericho's AEW Absence Chris Jericho has not been seen on AEW programming since April 2025. He was written off television after a storyline where he walked out on his "Learning Tree" stable. According to a recent report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, his touring commitments with his band, Fozzy, are now finished, making a return to wrestling imminent. CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - January 4, 2025: Adam "Cope" Copeland of Rated FTR faces off with Chris Jericho of The Learning Tree during AEW Collision. CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - January 4, 2025: Adam "Cope" Copeland of Rated FTR faces off with Chris Jericho of The Learning Tree during AEW Collision. Ricky Havlik/AEW More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match The question is, which company will he return to? It is publicly known that his AEW contract expires at the end of this year. AEW has a history of keeping talent off of television in the final months of their deals, which could suggest that fans have already seen the last of Jericho in an AEW ring. Chris Jericho was a foundational figure for AEW, giving the upstart promotion immediate main event credibility when he signed in 2019 and became the first-ever AEW World Champion. He has been one of the company's highest-paid stars ever since. However, at 54 years old and working a more limited schedule, a new, seven-figure contract would be a significant business decision for both Jericho and AEW President Tony Khan. This has led to the speculation that he may be considering other options. A potential return to WWE, the company where he became a multi-time world champion and a guaranteed future Hall of Famer, would be a monumental story. While his "like" may just be him acknowledging the fan discussion, it has guaranteed that the wrestling world will be watching his every move for the remainder of the year.
