Rusev just doesn't stand out at all in today's WWE
Some places do power rankings. Here at Cageside, we do a stock report. In this weekly series, we identify three Superstars (or groups of Superstars) who are on their way up, and three that are moving in the opposite direction. After a busy week that included Becky Lynch's proposal for Lyra Valkyria, Roman Reigns addressing Paul Heyman's betrayal, and Jelly Roll standing in the ring while Logan Paul runs into him, a lot of fortunes were changed. With that in mind, let's see whose stock decreased the most this week: On this week's episode of Raw, Rusev took his first singles loss since returning to WWE three months ago, falling victim to a Brogue Kick from Sheamus. Rusev has only had a handful of matches since coming back to WWE, and he's made close to no impact on the product. His work is fine, but watching him and Sheamus do battle does sort of seem like it's a time warp back to a decade ago, and I don't think that's a good thing. Nothing really stands about Rusev's gimmick today that seems like it's going to catch on and warrant a big push over the current crop of stars on the WWE roster. A-Town Down Under abruptly broke up this week after what felt like at least one full year of their story going nowhere. The official split happened in a backstage segment on Raw where Grayson Waller tried to align himself with the New Day after saying he was glad to finally have the 'dead weight' of the injured Theory off his back. Just like that, Waller has a new creative direction in WWE, while the guy who beat John Cena at WrestleMania 39 has never been more irrelevant. The megastar is nowhere to be seen on WWE programming since losing in a gauntlet match on the July 14 episode of Raw. His absence is tied into the strange circumstances surrounding Seth Rollins' knee injury. The bottom line is that WWE creative has nothing for LA right now, and it looks like he won't be booked in a match at SummerSlam. Now let's see whose stock increased the most this week: Kross is finally gaining traction on Raw as part of a program with Sami Zayn. Their feud is even getting a spotlight on the SummerSlam card, which is a pretty big deal for Karrion. There are a lot of rumors and reports about Kross' WWE contract status, and it's happening at a good time as more fans are rallying behind him. After being gone from WWE for over one year, Kiana James returned to SmackDown in a managerial role of sorts for Women's United States Champion Giulia. This is a very good spot for James to land in, because it should guarantee regular TV time for her during Giulia's current push. James would likely be lost in the shuffle in the women's division otherwise, but this spot gives her a good chance to show off her talking skills and get fans invested in her character. The build to SummerSlam has generally been rushed and underwhelming, but one of the bright spots is the angle between Styles and Mysterio. The comedy of Styles hanging around backstage in disguise to keep an eye on the cowardly Mysterio has been very effective at building interest in their Intercontinental title match at WWE's biggest party of the summer. There you have it, Cagesiders. Whose stock do you think changed the most this week?

American rapper Saweetie and K-pop group TWICE collaborated on a new song. The track, titled "Superstars," released on August 1st. A video showed Saweetie dancing with TWICE at JYP Entertainment. Fans had earlier speculated about the collaboration. This partnership is expected to benefit both artists. It will introduce TWICE to the American hip-hop scene. The Moment We've All Been Waiting For Has Finally Arrived Hold onto your seats, because the collaboration we never knew we needed is about to drop! On July 25th, American rapper Saweetie officially confirmed what K-pop fans had been speculating about for weeks - she's teamed up with TWICE for an upcoming track called " Superstars ," and it's set to release on August 1st. This announcement sent shockwaves through both the K-pop and Western music communities, proving once again that music truly knows no boundaries. The fusion of TWICE's signature bubbly energy with Saweetie's fierce rap style promises to be nothing short of spectacular. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cardiologists: 1 Teaspoon of This Before Bed Melts Belly Fat Like Crazy Hollywood News | USA Undo Behind-the-Scenes Magic at JYP Entertainment What makes this collaboration even more exciting is the adorable behind-the-scenes content that Saweetie shared. The video shows her dancing alongside all nine TWICE members inside the iconic JYP Entertainment building, and honestly, the chemistry between them is absolutely infectious. Watching Saweetie groove to "Superstars" with Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu feels like witnessing music history in the making. The casual, fun atmosphere in the video suggests that this collaboration came from a place of genuine mutual respect and artistic excitement rather than just a calculated business move. The Plot Thickens: Earlier Hints Were Right There Plot twist alert! Before this official announcement, eagle-eyed fans had already started connecting the dots. Saweetie had previously posted a video of herself dancing with TWICE to their new title track "This Is For," which immediately sparked rumors about a potential collaboration. Those fan theories weren't just wishful thinking - they were spot on! This proves that sometimes the K-pop detective work that fans do on social media actually pays off. The fact that Saweetie was already vibing with TWICE's music before their official collaboration shows how organic this partnership really is. Why This Collaboration Is a Game-Changer for Both Artists This isn't just another celebrity team-up; it's a strategic move that benefits everyone involved. For TWICE, collaborating with Saweetie opens doors to the American hip-hop scene and introduces their music to a completely different demographic. Meanwhile, Saweetie gets to tap into the massive, passionate K-pop fanbase that spans across continents. The timing couldn't be more perfect either. With K-pop's global influence at an all-time high and Western artists increasingly recognizing the power of Korean music, "Superstars" represents exactly the kind of cross-cultural collaboration that today's music landscape demands. It's likely to dominate charts in both Korea and internationally, creating a win-win situation for both parties. From a cultural perspective, this collaboration also represents the beautiful fusion of different musical traditions. TWICE's polished pop sensibilities combined with Saweetie's bold rap style could very well set the template for future East-West musical partnerships.

Potential 2027 NBA Free Agent Class Is Insane: Teams Are Saving Space For Historic Summer
Potential 2027 NBA Free Agent Class Is Insane: Teams Are Saving Space For Historic Summer originally appeared on Fadeaway World. If you thought the 2025 NBA offseason was exciting, just wait another two years for a historically eventful summer. In that year, unlike this one, the free agent market will be ripe with talent, including some big names across several franchises. Advertisement In fact, with so many superstars potentially up for grabs, teams are already making an effort to free up their cap space and preserve their financial flexibility in the summer of 2027. For those teams who are patient and build a lucrative situation, they'll be rewarded with star power that will shift their place in the NBA hierarchy. As it stands, this is the current list of NBA free agents in 2027, barring any contract extensions that might take them off the market: - Nikola Jokic - Luka Doncic - Giannis Antetokounmpo - Donovan Mitchell - Anthony Davis - Trae Young - Stephen Curry - James Harden - Kawhi Leonard - Jimmy Butler - Karl-Anthony Towns - Kyrie Irving - Zach LaVine As arguably one of the best players in the NBA right now, Nikola Jokic's loyalty is an important subject, and it will be a hot topic leading up to his free agency. The 3x MVP is still owed $176 million over the next three years, but he can opt out of that final year to either negotiate a new contract with the Nuggets or join a different team altogether. At 30 years old with a championship in the books, Jokic isn't feeling any pressure to leave, but he could always opt for a change of scenery that would shake the balance of power. Advertisement In Los Angeles, Luka Doncic's future is critical to the organization. Despite trading their franchise center to acquire Luka, the Lakers could lose him either next summer or in 2027 if he opts into his player option. If he chooses the latter, expect Doncic to consider a potential partnership with fellow European superstar Nikola Jokic, or even a new job on the Clippers. Of course, anywhere he goes that's not the Lakers will have major implications on the Western Conference standings. In the East, Giannis Antetokounmpo has been at the heart of countless trade rumors as the Bucks have struggled to stay competitive. As arguably a top-three player in the league (averages of 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game last season), any team that has Giannis has a path to the title, and he'll be a top target for teams in 2027 if he opts out of his $62.7 million player option. While those three superstars may be the most lucrative names on the market, they will be far from the only elite free agents available. Young superstar Donovan Mitchell could leave the Cavaliers and control his destiny for the first time in his career. There's also Anthony Davis, whose departure from Dallas would cause an epic meltdown for the organization. 2027 could also come with a major decision for NBA legend Stephen Curry. He'll be 39 by that summer and will either be ready to retire or preparing for his final season. If he ends up leaving the Warriors, it would mark the end of a historic and iconic era in the NBA. To a smaller degree, the same could be said for Kawhi Leonard, who has been with the Clippers since 2019. Advertisement It's impossible to say for sure where these stars will end up, but we can be certain that teams across the league will be waiting to get in on that action. With the potential for seismic NBA activity, the summer of 2027 threatens to change everything for the league, and many teams (like the Los Angeles Lakers) are going out of their way to avoid any deals that might limit their cap space in a potentially historic offseason.

EXCLUSIVE: Rajkummar Rao lauds Ranbir Kapoor and Yash to keep mystery around them alive: 'If I'm available easily...'
Rajkummar Rao, who is gearing up for the release of Maalik this weekend, talked about the importance of mystery around Superstars. In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, the actor recalled his childhood days when he used to wait for movies and get excited after seeing their updates in magazines. He reminisced that he used to eagerly wait for Shah Rukh Khan movies. The Bhool Chuk Maaf actor reflected how social media has changed everything and demolished all mystery around stars and their lifestyles. Rajkummar Rao said, 'Abhi kuch (mystery) hai hi nahi. Abhi sab apna sab daal dete hai social media pe.' He further started enacting, 'Hey guys, just woke up, having this for breakfast, oh wow sunny day.' Rajkummar Rao appreciates Ranbir Kapoor and Yash for keeping mystery alive Rajkummar Rao underlined that only a few could have managed to build mystery around them and appreciated Ranbir Kapoor and Yash for staying away from over-exposure on social media. He said, 'I am saying abhi wo mystery missing hai, which i think Ranbir is doing so well. Yaa, he has kept that mystery alive.' Furthermore, the actor went on to add that a lot of South actors have maintained such mystery around them. 'Yash, also kept the mystery alive, which is nice, which is good,' he added. Soon to turn up the heat with his gangster avatar in Maalik, Rajkummar Rao elaborated and mentioned that actors should be known for their work not for their lifestyle. He said, 'Actors are supposed to be known for their work, not for that unka ghar kaisa hai andar se.' He further recalled his young days and mentioned how he used to wonder about Shah Rukh Khan's Mannat and his lifestyle. 'Hum to yahi sochte the na ki, kaisa hota hoga Mannat andar se. Toh ye mystery bahut zaruri hai for any artist. Agar main easily available hun sabke liye to sabko lagega ki isko to main yahi dekh leta hu na daily, phir kya karenge dekh ke isko theatre mein.' (We used to think about how Mannat would be from inside. So this mystery is very important for any artist. If I am easily available for everyone then everyone will feel that I see him daily, then what's the point to watch him in theaters.) Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
