Dominik Mysterio and Judgment Day Pay Tribute To Carlito On RAW After WWE Release
The Judgment Day paid tribute to their soon-to-be former stablemate, Carlito. In about two weeks, Carlito will depart WWE as the company opted not to renew his existing contract. In the meantime, his Judgment Day stablemates paid tribute to him on this week's episode of WWE Raw. Advertisement While appearing in a backstage segment inside the Judgment Day clubhouse, Dominik Mysterio sported a 'That's Not Cool' t-shirt, which is still listed on WWE Shop. Upon closer inspection, fans also noticed that the television, on which Carlito frequently played the WWE 2K25 video game through his PS5, was turned off. Carlito became an official member of the Judgment Day last year, just months after he turned on the Latino World Order. Since then, he has mainly been seen aiding his Judgement Day stablemates to victory, in addition to eating apples and playing WWE 2K25 backstage. His last WWE match came on the April 18 episode of WWE SmackDown in which he competed in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Advertisement One day before news of his imminent exit emerged, Carlito defeated Ray Gonzalez for the WWC Puerto Rico Championship at the World Wrestling Council, a promotion co-owned by his father Carlos Colon. Carlito, 46, officially returned to WWE in 2023, beginning with an appearance at the Backlash premium live event. Months later, he resurfaced by helping the LWO at Fastlane.

'I'm a buff WWE wrestler but I've always struggled with body image'
WWE superstars are known for being larger than life, stepping in the ring with incredible physiques on display for millions of fans around the world. However, it's easy to forget that these massive characters have real insecurities and hang-ups like anyone else, especially in such an aesthetically-driven industry. Speaking exclusively to Metro from WWE 2K25's booth in Las Vegas, Raw star Ivy Nile admitted she 'never felt cool' growing up because of her body. 'It sounds like a weird problem to have. Growing up, I couldn't wear normal clothes my friends were wearing because I'm so buff,' she recalled. 'And then, you kind of think, 'boys aren't gonna like me because I'm bigger than them', which is funny.' Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. When it comes to stepping out in front of thousands of fans in an arena every week, the 33-year-old star admitted she has to put herself in a 'weird mentality'. 'Sometimes I just play a game with myself, it's all a simulation, it's not happening,' she laughed. Growing up as 'a fit kind with muscles', Ivy – who recently wrestled Stephania Carter, a rising star in WWE 2K25's New Wave DLC pack – revealed she 'never felt cool', but now being in the gym and the wrestling ring has helped her grow. 'That's what I had to learn, just getting more confident. I'm kinda in my element in the gym and in my gear,' she explained. 'I can be a Hulk and show my muscles. But right now I'm in a dress suit, and I feel kind of uncomfortable, but that's okay!' She has also taken inspiration from other athletes, name-dropping Olympic hero Simone Biles, 28, as someone to look up to. 'She's in my stature, she's shorter, she's stocky. That's how we're built. And we found beauty, we found strength through that in our sports. And I think we just embrace ourselves so much, even though we're different,' she smiled. 'Clothes fit weird, but that's okay. So it's cool how we embrace who we are, turn it into a strength, and we are both in amazing businesses.' Ivy is also helped by her partnership with Chad Gable and the Creed Brothers, with real-life siblings Julius and Brutus providing a solid rock on screen and behind the scenes. 'I've been with them for three years, I started with them in NXT in Diamond Mine, I started with them day one,' she reflected. 'They are a pain in my butt, but I love them. They got my back, and I love growing with them.' She hopes all three can 'get some gold this year', while Ivy also has some dream matches in mind for 2025, given the way fans have almost limitless possibilities in WWE 2K25. 'I already had one of mine with Rhea [Ripley], I would love to throw that back. I think I would grow so much, continuing to work with her,' she smiled. 'I've always wanted to work with Iyo [Sky], I haven't worked with Iyo. I have so many people on my list that I want to – Liv [Morgan]. Bianca [Belair], of course, we're from the same hometown.' More Trending Beyond video game dream matches and championship ambitions, Ivy has her sights set on a major WrestleMania goal to truly leave her mark. 'One day I want to have a bunch of fit kids, girls with muscles,' she said. 'I never felt cool – I always had muscles and stuff. So whenever it's my time, I'm gonna have a bunch of fit kids flexing with me up on stage.' View More » WWE 2K25 is available now.

Take-Two Interactive Software (NasdaqGS:TTWO) Reports Higher Revenue But Increased Losses and Impairments
Take-Two Interactive Software recently reported a 11.3% rise in its share price over the last quarter. Despite a year-over-year increase in sales and revenue figures, the company faced a larger net loss and announced significant goodwill impairment, potentially counterbalancing broader positive market trends. During this period, key product announcements like "Mafia: The Old Country" and updates to the WWE 2K25 game lineup were made, likely adding some positive sentiment. While the market, represented by indexes like the S&P 500, saw upward momentum, Take-Two's stock movement may have also been supported by strong investor interest in tech stocks. Buy, Hold or Sell Take-Two Interactive Software? View our complete analysis and fair value estimate and you decide. The end of cancer? These 23 emerging AI stocks are developing tech that will allow early identification of life changing diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's. The recent developments at Take-Two Interactive, outlined in the introduction, are critical amid its announcement of a significant goodwill impairment, which may counteract positive market trends. Despite the short-term share price gain of 11.3%, the company's longer-term performance over three years shows a substantial total return of 94%, indicating robust investor confidence. However, its one-year return surpassed both the US Market increase of 11.2% and the US Entertainment industry growth of 58%, showcasing its strong relative performance. The introduction of key product announcements like "Mafia: The Old Country" and updates to the WWE 2K25 game lineup could positively impact future revenue and earnings forecasts. While revenue stands at US$5.45 billion and the company currently operates at a US$3.66 billion net loss, anticipated game releases such as Grand Theft Auto VI are projected to drive future financial growth. Analysts expect significant improvements in profit margins over the next few years, with a forecasted earnings increase reaching US$732.7 million by 2028. Despite the positive outlook, Take-Two's current share price of US$231.84 remains slightly above the consensus analyst price target of US$223.96, reflecting a share price discount of 0.03%. This suggests that the current price potentially overestimates the near-term value, even as the market generally aligns with the analysts' fair price estimation. Ultimately, the company's ability to realize revenue and earnings growth hinges on successful execution of upcoming projects and navigation of market risks.
