The duo made a statement on behalf of their cousin and WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns. Jimmy and Jey attempted a similar attack on Seth Rollins this past week on SmackDown, but The Visionary escaped unscathed at the time. This week’s ambush on RAW followed prior interference from Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander of The Hurt Business. The latter attacked Lashley, while The Usos flattened Rollins with a superkick....

RELATED: Mario Gets a Tattoo: Video Game Mascots Who Went Through an Edgy Phase While there have been dozens upon dozens of duds over the last thirty years or so, it’s clear that Sonic has inspired countless video game mascots, many of whom are still recognized and beloved, even if some of them haven’t had a major game release in recent years. The following video game mascots were most certainly inspired by the likes of the icon himself; Sonic the Hedgehog....
One of these financial crises is the fact that someone at Starbreeze has just been busted for insider trading. Swedish financial publication Dagens Industri reported that earlier today, Starbreeze’s offices were raided by Swedish authorities. The Swedish Economic Crime Authority confirmed that one person has been arrested and detained, though it declined to identify the person. Swedish Economic Crime Authority officials were also seen carrying away computers from Starbreeze’s Stockholm headquarters....
Once upon a time, a rich kingdom took over a poor one. The money in the 15 million bank accounts of the poor kingdom was no good, so–poof!–the rich kingdom exchanged it for the Deutsche mark, a currency better than gold. The air in the poor kingdom was so fouled that it stung the eyes. So–abracadabra!–the rich kingdom started a big cleanup. The houses in the poor kingdom hadn’t been fixed up since the government seized everything 40 years ago, so–shazzam!...
Old standards like the M82 Assault Rifle and the LS13 Shotgun are returning to Killzone 3, providing both long range and close range combat options. Killzone 2’s weapons didn’t really have anything wrong with them in the first place, so Guerrilla Games saw fit to invest its development time in some heavy artillery. For anyone who has been following the development of Killzone 3, the mech suit and the jetpack’s inclusion should come as no surprise....
The Portuguese was a spectator in Zagreb on Friday as Croatia prevailed 1-0 in their World Cup qualifier. Mourinho’s visit prompted some to suggest he had used his break from United’s schedule to meet with representatives of Inter attacker Ivan Perisic, who did not feature against Ukraine due to suspension. But Mourinho insists the reason for his trip was pleasure, rather than business. “I have no hidden cause, I just came to enjoy my free days and visit some friends like Predrag Mijatovic and Davor Suker,” he told HNTV....

TikTok, XO, and Republic Records have teamed up with the virtual entertainment company Wave for the unique music experience in augmented reality. The Weeknd Experience will also be raising funds for The Equal Justice Initiative, a non-profit organization that provides legal representation to prisoners who have been wrongly convicted....
The Grammy-winning Canadian singer, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, delivered a memorable show that featured fireworks and backup dancers with bandaged faces. He performed a medley of some of his most popular songs, from “The Hills” to “Blinding Lights.” But it was a brief moment involving some close camera work by the singer before he launched into his 2015 hit “Can’t Feel My Face” that went viral, with one three-second clip posted on Twitter amassing more than 25 million views by early Monday morning....
Europe’s competition authorities are keeping a careful eye on the U.S. case against Microsoft. Brussels will likely want any remedies imposed in America to be applied in its bailiwick, too. And meanwhile, it’s proceeding with its own, separate antitrust probe into Windows 2000. Yet as France’s Culture Ministry showed, Bill Gates doesn’t enjoy quite the clout in the Old World that he wields in the New. “In the U.S., it tends to be a foregone conclusion that you’re wedded to Windows,” says Matthew Nordan, senior analyst for Forrester Research in Amsterdam....
The Taiwan market is being closely watched because players will use points, not real money, testing whether a market’s accuracy is undercut by the absence of a profit motive to get predictions right. (Taiwan’s antigambling laws preclude using real money.) Although funny-money markets have worked in the past, their reliability is still in doubt, experts say. So far, the Center for Prediction Markets points to a victory by the China-friendly candidate Ma Ying-jeou....
RELATED: The Witcher 3: The Best Silver Swords, Ranked In Witcher 3, Aerondight can be found in the Blood and Wine DLC and is the single most powerful sword in the game.

They must make certain choices through the game to qualify for acquiring Aerondight. Updated on February 2nd, 2022 by Talha Bin Rizwan: The Aerondight silver sword has made a consistent appearance throughout all 3 Witcher games....
The Witcher focuses on Geralt of Rivia as he battles monsters for coin and overcomes the moral quandaries he faces on his journey. Much like the original books and the video-game adaptations, the web-series has been very successful and became one of the most-watched shows on Netflix in 2019. Unfortunately for fans, Netflix rarely shows the making of its content despite fan demand. RELATED: The Witcher Photo Shows Early Jaskier Costume with Hat...
A uniquely American experience? Well, not exactly. The scene is Toys “R” Us, Hong Kong, one of the newest landmarks on Toys “R” Us’s ever-expanding world map. Over the past few years, the New Jersey company has ventured where no other American retailer of its size has dared to go, replicating its winning formula from Singapore to Leipzig. This January, amid pomp, ceremony and a visit from President Bush, it opened its second Japanese store; by 1997, analysts say, it will have 406 international units producing sales of $4....
The explosive growth of that network of camps has been chronicled before, most memorably by former zeks, or prisoners, like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Evgeniya Ginzburg and Gustaw Herling-Grudzinski. Western scholars like Robert Conquest have also contributed a rich body of literature on the subject. But in the West, the Soviet camp system has never haunted the popular imagination like the Nazi version has. By writing a vivid, detailed history for a general audience, Applebaum has clearly set out to change what she sees as a fundamental misperception of many outsiders to this day: that the Soviet experience was a noble experiment gone awry rather than a system based on murder and destruction from day one....
To truly understand the contours of the problem, consult a 2011 episode of the brilliant TV series Black Mirror, called “The Entire History of You.” It depicts a near future when brain implants can replay our memories for us as if they were videos. That sounds useful—until you realize that the device would naturally also be able to display them to others. Thus does our suspicious hero discover his wife’s infidelity when he insists that she replay certain memories for him....
By her own account, Fisher is the unlikeliest of political crusaders. ““I’ve always been a scientist and just wanted to work in my lab and teach in the classroom,’’ she says. ““Ten years ago, I wouldn’t have dreamed of myself in this position. But my husband and I are both Quakers, and there reaches a point at which you can’t sit back and take it anymore.’’ That ““point’’ was many years in the making – an experience familiar to other women teachers who’ve had trouble making it in the hard sciences....
If the leak, which comes from YouTuber Tech Buff PH (h/t XDA Developers), is accurate, it looks like a rather exciting device. While we can’t verify that the phone is legitimate, it does appear to have all of the things we’d expect to see from the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra. It has the model number M2102K1G, which was recently certified by India’s BIS and the EU’s EEC Cryptographic Device Database....
This is Dickens World, a theme park like no other. Here the sights, sounds and even smells of Victorian England are recreated as homage to one of Britain’s best-loved authors. Since May 25, the park’s opening day, characters and scenes from novels such as “Great Expectations” and “Oliver Twist” have been coming to life and offering an entirely new way to enjoy Dickens and his work. “It is a period of great romance and fascination for the British,” says Kevin Christie, managing director of Dickens World....
