Bron Breakker attacks Jey Uso on WWE Raw: Is the stage set for Logan Paul to align with Seth Rollins?
The latest episode on WWE Raw was an eventful one for Jey Uso. The reigning World Heavyweight Champion saved CM Punk from Bron Breakker and Seth Rollins. He also addressed the WWE audience only to be confronted by Gunther, the man whom he beat at WrestleMania 41 to capture the title. Despite this, the night ended on a disastrous note for him as Breakker took him out backstage while Ludwig Kaiser was being interviewed. These developments may have paved the way for a new alliance in the WWE. Bron Breakker assaults Jey Uso ahead of Yeet Master's match against Logan Paul Jey Uso, who is set to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Logan Paul at Saturday Night's Main Event, paid a heavy price for messing with Seth Rollins' faction on this week's episode of the red brand. Bron Breakker, the muscle of The Visionary's heel faction, assaulted him backstage on the 39-year-old star's instructions. Jey Uso was injured and needed medical attention. Despite this, he is set to take on 'The Badass' next week. Moreover, he is also ready to put the gold on the line against Logan Paul at Saturday Night's Main Event. Given this planned sequence of events, there is a possibility of 'The Social media megastar' interfering in Uso's match next week potentially aligning with the heel faction. Moreover, the 'Trifecta of Terror' could also help out Paul in his match against Jey Uso. Aligning with this group could help Logan Paul further consolidate his standing as a main-event draw. It could also add to the heel trio's mainstream appeal. That said, this angle is hypothetical at the moment. What has Logan Paul been doing in the WWE of late? Logan Paul participated in the Elimination Chamber match in March but came up short. He then defeated AJ Styles at WrestleMania 41 in a match that flew under the radar. He will be hoping to re-enter the main event scene when he takes on Jey Uso at Saturday Night's Main Event on May 25. For all the latest coverage on WWE, track updates here

Seth Rollins makes statement with $13,500 designer coat and ruthless new faction on WWE Raw
Image via WWE Seth Rollins is no stranger to bold statements, both in the ring and in his wardrobe. But on the April 28 episode of WWE Raw , 'The Visionary' took things to another level - unveiling a lavish $13,500 (approx. ₹11.3 lakh) coat while forming a brutal new alliance with Bron Breakker and Paul Heyman. Rollins made his entrance in a long, striking blue coat adorned with golden peacocks and floral motifs. The garment, designed by Pakistani luxury brand Rastah, quickly went viral on social media. Known as the 'Golden Peacock' long coat, the made-to-order piece comes with an equally extravagant pair of matching trousers priced at $920. While Rollins' fashion grabbed headlines, it was his partnership with Breakker and Heyman that delivered the real shock factor. Flanked by his new allies, Rollins opened the show by proclaiming that he represents the future of WWE - and that the future starts now. Sami Zayn declines offer, then pays the Price In a dramatic turn, Rollins offered fellow WWE Superstar Sami Zayn a spot in the new faction. However, Zayn refused to align with the trio, accusing Rollins of hypocrisy and stating he would never follow someone who betrayed his own values. FULL MATCH: Sami Zayn suffers Bron Breakker Spear-fest and a Seth Rollins Stomp: Raw, April 28, 2025 The refusal set the stage for a brutal main event. Zayn faced Bron Breakker in a hard-hitting contest that ended prematurely after a series of devastating spears from Breakker forced the referee to call off the match for Zayn's safety. But the assault didn't stop there. Rollins stormed the ring post-match and delivered a crushing Curb Stomp to Zayn, leaving his former friend motionless as WWE officials rushed in. This episode marked a clear turning point for Rollins, who has not only realigned himself with one of WWE's most powerful minds in Heyman, but also backed his words with brutal action. His new faction seems set on domination, and with Breakker's raw power and Heyman's cunning strategy, the group is already sending shockwaves through the WWE Universe. And while fans debated his $13,500 coat online, Rollins made it clear he's not just changing his style - he's changing the power structure in WWE. As SummerSlam approaches, all eyes will be on this dangerous new trio - and whether anyone in the locker room can stand in their way.

Trump accuses British artist of painting ‘truly worst' portrait of him
Donald Trump has called for a portrait of himself to be taken down from the Colorado state capitol, lashing out at the artist for 'truly the worst' attempt to capture his features. 'Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves,' the president wrote, but the Colorado portrait was 'purposely distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before'. The painting depicts the president with a 'serious, thoughtful, non-confontational' expression, Sarah Boardman, the British artist, said after it was commissioned in 2018. In the artwork, Mr Trump's lips are softly pursed, his cheeks and chin a little pudgy, and his hair less buoyant than in the president's preferred portraits (several of which he subsequently posted). 'The artist also did President Obama,' Mr Trump wrote, 'and he looks wonderful, but the one on me is truly the worst.' He added: 'She must have lost her talent as she got older.' There was little sign of dissent when the artwork was unveiled in August 2019. John Cooke, a Republican state senator, said the piece showed 'the strength of the American spirit'. In the commissioning process, Ms Boardman presented the capitol building advisory committee with two sketches and four photographs to choose the basis of the image from. They agreed with her preferred option, shunning a snapshot of the president looking 'marginally less confident'. Speaking to the Colorado Times Recorder, the artist said her feelings on Mr Trump played no part in the creative process. 'It is the portrait, likeness, and 'essence' of the subject which I strive to portray,' she said. 'Any personal feelings about any subject are not relevant and are left outside the studio per my training to 'leave those emotions at the door'.' Ms Boardman added there was always opposition to her portraits from political opponents of the president in question. 'There will always be anger at a president from one side or the other. It is human nature,' she said. But she said the anger was 'directed at the subject, not the actual piece of art, as it is/will be with this portrait of Trump.' On Sunday night, the president upended this status quo. Making the point about the kind of representations he prefers, he posted the official portrait from his second term in which he appears with his jaw clenched, chin tucked in and eyes steeled below a determined frown. In Mar-a-Lago, a painting dubbed The Visionary shows the young president in tennis whites and bathed in glorious light. The artist Ralph Wolfe Cowan was known for his depictions of monarchs. 'Nobody ever dislikes my portraits,' Mr Cowan told Town and Country magazine. 'I know how to make them 'healthy' is the way I put it.' In his complaint on TruthSocial about the Colorado portrait, Mr Trump said: 'I would much prefer not having a picture than this one.' The president claims that 'many people from Colorado have called and written to complain'. 'I am speaking on their behalf to the radical Left governor, Jared Polis… to take it down. Jared should be ashamed of himself.' A spokesman for the governor refused to say whether the painting would be removed in a statement to Denver news outlet 9news. Mr Polis was 'surprised to learn the president of the United States is an aficionado of our Colorado state capitol and its artwork,' they said. 'We appreciate the president and everyone's interest in our capitol building and are always looking for any opportunity to improve our visitor experience.' In 2018, the Colorado citizens for culture, a grassroots group that raises funds for presidential portraits, said that nobody had donated a cent towards a depiction of Mr Trump. Soon afterwards a Left-wing activist snuck into the capitol and hung a portrait of Vladimir Putin on an easel in front of the empty slot for Mr Trump. Outraged, Kevin Grantham, then the Republican president of the state senate, launched a crowdfunding campaign for a new portrait that hit its target within 32 hours. Putin gave Steve Witkoff, the US special envoy, a 'beautiful' portrait of Mr Trump, commissioned from a leading Russian artist, Mr Witkoff said in an interview this weekend.
