Report: WWE SmackDown To Extend Three-Hour Format
WWE SmackDown may not return to a two-hour format… yet. 2025 began with WWE SmackDown running as a three-hour show on the USA Network, instead of its usual two hours. This was a significant change for the blue brand, which had largely been a two-hour show since its inception in 1999. Triple H later mentioned in January that this change was only temporary and that SmackDown would go back to two hours later. Advertisement In September 2024, WrestleVotes reported SmackDown would switch back to two hours in June after many three-hour episodes. Last month, WrestleVotes confirmed this again and said the change would likely happen with the June 6 episode of SmackDown, with Dave Meltzer also confirming this detail. However, recent reports from PWInsider say that things might not go as expected. The reports mentioned that the USA Network had internally listed WWE SmackDown as running three hours long in early June. This means the show might continue with the longer, three-hour format instead of going back to the usual two-hour format. It remains to be seen how much longer this format will last, but it looks like SmackDown will be a three-hour show a bit longer. WWE SmackDown May 23rd match card update The May 23 episode of Friday Night SmackDown will air live from the EnMarket Arena in Savannah, Georgia. This show will be the final stop before Saturday Night's Main Event. Below is updated match card for upcoming edition of SmackDown.

Dana White's Wild Story; His Kid's Ear Was ‘Ripped off' While Watching Cormier Fight
While UFC CEO Dana White has seen some horrifying injuries inside the Octagon, it seems the worst he's ever encountered came in a frantic call from his wife after their daughter suffered a gruesome injury. Even when White is Octagon side at a UFC event, his job never stops. He is the head of a billion-dollar company. And he can often be seen talking or texting about business while at fights. That is why during a recent chat with Candy Funhouse, he was asked what was the craziest call he has ever gotten during an event. And surprisingly, the worst of them all had nothing to do with his day job. 'I think we were in Texas. And it was a Cormier fight. I don't remember who he was fighting. But my daughter was really young, and the dog that we had at the time ripped her ear off,' White revealed. 'As you could imagine, my wife was losing her mind, and everybody was freaking out. How many kids does Dana White have? Three (Dana III, Aidan, and Savannah) 'So I ran over and grabbed [Chief Medical Director] Dr. Jeff Davidson, and we started making calls. Got a plastic surgeon. And not only did the dog rip her ear off, but it ripped her ear in half too,' he added. 'So my wife had to pick up her ear, go to the friggin hospital, and have her ear sewn back on. That is definitely the craziest call I've ever had.' Since he didn't say his daughter Savannah lost her ear, one can assume that his wife jumping into quick action and getting to the right surgeon, saved their offspring's ear. It is also likely that the pet received a permanent knockout from the UFC boss following the incident. White and his wife Anne have three children. Sons Dana III, Aidan, and Savannah.

Owner Worried Cat Seems Tired—Can't Cope With What Petcam Reveals
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. When 10-month-old cat Eskimo began acting strangely tired during the day, her owner Leah from Lancashire, U.K., feared something might be seriously wrong. "For a few weeks I noticed she seemed tired through the day," Leah, who didn't share her surname, told Newsweek. Concerned it might be medical, she considered taking her to the vet for blood tests. But one night, curious and worried, she checked the pet camera—and what she saw turned concern into laughter. Captured on a Ring cam in the early hours, Eskimo was not sick. She was exercising almost hourly. The video revealed the cat sprinting on the cat wheel in what looked like an intense, self-imposed training session. "I've seen some crazy things on my pets' CCTV," Leah said. "But I couldn't believe it. This breed doesn't normally use an exercise wheel, it's usually Bengals."

A picture of Eskimo the cat from the video, who had been looking tired recently. @garythegingeweiler/TikTok Cat exercise wheels were invented to give indoor cats a safe and effective way to stay active. Similar to hamster wheels, they allow the cat to run in place. While they take up space, they are a great way to keep active cats busy, and are often particularly recommended for high-energy cat breeds like Bengals, Savannah cats and Siamese. Leah shared the clip of Eskimo running around on TikTok where it has been viewed over 9,000 times. In the comments, people shared their reactions. "Saved yourself from vet bills by checking the cameras," said viewer Ayume. While Nicky joked that the cat was: "Training for a cross country walk." Pictures of Eskimo the cat running on the wheel, something the video revealed he was doing almost every hour throughout the night.

While TikToker Ms Green Fox wrote: "Gym gurl!" Leah was delighted by the attention the video gained. "I like to share my pets' shenanigans," she said. "It makes me smile, so I hope it has for someone else too. She now identifies as a hamster." This isn't the first time a cat's active antics have gained viral attention. Last year another cat was caught using the wheel, but not as expected—instead of running on the wheel, the chunky white and gray cat was lounging and taking a nap on it. While earlier this year another cat left people in hysterics when they shared the pet's obsession with working out on his owner's treadmill. Knuckles' owner explained that he often meows at his owner throughout the day until he is allowed to walk on the treadmill.

Rachel, Savannah and a Kiwi whisper
Things are looking up on the jockey gender front. When former champion jockey Warren Kennedy was back in Durban recently he got a few phone calls from local trainers asking about the possibility of recruiting a female jockey or two from New Zealand, where he is now No 1. The interest in women is because of the 1.5kg allowance that all female riders get in this country – a measure introduced a while ago to encourage more girls into the game. South Africa's sole female fully fledged jockey Rachel Venniker has been among the top 10 riders in the country in the past two years, is very good at her job and certainly doesn't need that 1.5kg to compete with men. But she is happy to take it – just one of the reasons her services are in heavy demand and why Kiwi ladies might fancy a stint here. In New Zealand, more than 40% of licensed jockeys are female. In Australia it's over 30%. There are no weight allowances for any senior 'hoops' down there. Women jockeys South Africa has had a couple of dozen women jockeys over the decades, some of whom have achieved a lot – such as Lisa Prestwood, Genevieve Michel and Nadine Rapson – but many have struggled to find bookings once the apprentice allowance has gone. Venniker showed yet again what a huge asset she is to local racing at the weekend, returning from injury to land a winner at Scottsville. After three months out of action with a tibia fracture, the fitness-mad jock was all professionalism in guiding home three-year-old filly Miss Kansas for her boss and mentor, trainer Michael Roberts, and her sponsor, owner Nick Jonsson. While she's been on the sidelines, Rachel has acquired winning company in the lady jockey room – apprentice Savanna Valjalo has notched up two winners from 22 rides. Like Rachel, Savannah was admitted to the SA Jockey Academy as a 'mature student', having already completed schooling, been a work rider and competed successfully in amateur races. In her 11th race under rules, Savannah got her first winner, on Gareth van Zyl-trained KMV Retrofit, at Greyville in late June. She is the twin sister of South African Olympic skateboarder Brandon Valjalo and has had a lifelong passion for horses and, more recently, a fierce determination to make it in racing. Anyone who has had anything to do with Savannah says she is destined to make it in the hardest of games – even without the 4kg apprentice allowance and maybe the 1.5kg too. Her motto is 'Work until your idols become your rivals'.
