James McAtee - ( Left City to move to Nottingham Forest in the ...

RAW makes one final stop in Anaheim before SNME. / WWE Monday Night RAW makes one final stop in Anaheim, California before Saturday's highly anticipated Saturday Night's Main Event takes place in Salt Lake City, Utah. We saw the highly popular tag team of Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss come over to the red brand to defend their Women's Tag Team Championships against Lyra Valkyria and Bayley whilst we also saw a No. 1 Contenders match against Penta and Rusev for the right to race Dominik Mysterio this Saturday for his Intercontinental Championship. As the show began, a video package was aired which reminded us of how we got to the World Heavyweight Title being vacated by Seth Rollins (who is out due to a legitimate injury). It recapped last week where we saw a Battle Royal which was won by Jey Uso giving him the chance to face off against the No. 1 Contender CM Punk. We saw the belt set up in the middle of the ring before Jey Uso made his entrance and Joe Tessitore describi...

WWE Legend John Cena will make his final RAW appearance very soon. / WWE John Cena's illustrious career is nearing its conclusion with just four dates left to go on the retirement tour that he has been embarking on for the last ten months. Netflix and WWE have announced that John will make his final RAW appearance on the November 17th edition of Monday Night RAW which will air from the famous Madison Square Garden in New York City.  How we got here:  Last year at Money In The Bank when the legendary Trish Stratus blew the roof off of the ScotiaBank Arena by bringing out the then sixteen time world champion John Cena in Toronto, I don't think any of us truly anticipated what John would say. After receiving love from and acknowledging the WWE Universe John hit us with the line nobody was expecting; ”Tonight I officially announce my retirement from the WWE.” which of course garnered a very mixed reaction from those in attendance. John went onto confirm that he would be embarking ...

McLaren's Lando Norris after winning the Mexico City Grand Prix. All eyes were very much on the man in second in the drivers championship, McLaren's Lando Norris, with a blistering lap time of 1:15.586 in the dying moments of Q3 he was able to see off the Scuderia Ferrari duo of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton who lined up in P2 and P3 respectively. Championship leader and Norris' McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri had a dire qualifying session on Saturday afternoon which saw him qualify in P8 but that was later ammended to P7 as Williams' Carlos Sainz had a five place grid penalty after a colission with Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli last week in Texas.

 As the lights went out and the cars barrelled down into turn one, it didn't take long to see a flurry of chaos as Leclerc and Verstappen both went wide which gave Leclerc the lead temporarily as he gave the position back to Norris due to the illegal nature of the overtake. Mercedes' Russell was fuming on the tea...
