How much money TKO could lose if upcoming WWE and UFC events in the Middle East are canceled

Despite ongoing conflict involving Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, along with reports of attacks on infrastructure sites, WWE reportedly remains committed to holding Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia on November 7th 2026.

Israel Adesanya reflects on his ego and consecutive defeats in a recent statement.

According to WrestleVotes Radio, there have been rumblings within WWE about Rey Mysterio potentially retiring from in-ring competition in 2027.

Last week, there was talk that the two main events for WrestleMania 2027 would be Cody Rhodes vs. CM Punk on night one and Roman Reigns vs. Oba Femi on night two. In an update, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com reported that the Reigns vs. Femi match is consistent with what he has been told, but Rhodes vs. Punk is not currently the plan. Meltzer noted that Rhodes vs. Punk would make sense, as they are the two top stars on the SmackDown brand and have largely been kept apart since their August 1st SummerSlam title match. However, he emphasized that the match is not currently planned for WrestleMania.

Millions of Americans receiving Social Security just learned how much more money they will get next year.

Two varieties of Grace canned chicken sausages sold in five states are the subject of a federal public health alert -- and shoppers are being urged to check their pantries. The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service issued the alert on October 6 after discovering that the products were illegally imported from Jamaica, which is not eligible to export meat or poultry products to the United States.

Broccoli is one of those vegetables I used to grab without giving it much thought. If the bunch looked mostly green and the stalks seemed fine, into the cart it went. But there’s one little detail worth checking before you buy it, and it only takes a few seconds to spot.

A familiar name in the frozen pizza aisle is disappearing for good. Conagra Brands has stopped making Celeste frozen pizzas, ending production of the longtime grocery staple also known as Mama Celeste. The company will sell its remaining inventory, but once those pizzas are gone, there will be no more products.

I wanted to find out where Walmart's beef comes from, so I visited a Walmart store in Oregon to see what information I could find in the beef department and the packaging. Earlier this week, I published an article on NewsBreak sharing about where Kroger has been sourcing its beef from - Where Kroger Is Getting Its Beef From Right Now - Here's What to Know. I have been wondering where other grocery stores are sourcing their meat from as well. So I went into a Walmart store in Oregon this morning to see what I could find.

While speaking with Jon Alba of SI.com, Ilja Dragunov was asked what he anticipates exploring with his new opportunity in AEW. Here is what he had to say…. “It’s not really much that is actually changing about the way that I’m working, because I have a lot of confidence in what I did in the past. I was successful with what I did in the past, and it’s what I believe in as well.

Indianapolis fans following the Indiana Fever into the offseason have another reason to tune in as Sophie Cunningham breaks down the Atlanta Dream’s playoff approach. On a recent episode of her “No Hesitation” podcast, the Fever guard addressed the Dream’s decision—led by coach Karl Smesko—to emphasize Angel Reese’s three-point development during the postseason rather than waiting for the offseason.

Mayonnaise in biscuits sounds strange right up until you remember what mayonnaise is made from: eggs and oil, two ingredients that already belong in plenty of baked goods. Old-fashioned mayonnaise biscuits use that shortcut to turn just three basic ingredients into tender, golden biscuits without cutting cold butter into flour or worrying about complicated dough. They bake up soft inside with lightly browned tops, ready for butter, jam, honey, sausage gravy, or whatever else belongs on the breakfast table. It’s the sort of recipe that feels almost too simple until the first pan comes out of the oven. Then you understand why practical home cooks kept tricks like this around.

Lidl shoppers should check their freezers after the retailer recalled one lot of gelato over possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The company's October 16 recall announcement, published by the FDA, says routine testing detected the bacteria in a laboratory sample. No illnesses had been reported when the notice was issued.

Southern hoecakes demonstrate how a few humble ingredients can create something far more memorable than their simplicity suggests. Cornmeal, liquid, egg, and hot fat come together into small cakes with crisp, golden edges and tender centers. The flavor is straightforward and deeply comforting, especially when bacon grease adds its smoky character to the pan. They resemble pancakes in shape but carry the rustic texture and savory corn flavor of skillet cornbread. Each cake develops plenty of browned surface, making those edges the part everyone searches for first. This is old-fashioned cooking built around necessity, thrift, and ingredients that were easy to keep on hand. The result remains valuable today because warm, crisp corn cakes still know how to make a bowl of beans or a plate of vegetables feel like a complete meal.

In Indianapolis, the basketball community stays tightly connected across the NBA and WNBA. With the Indiana Fever’s 2026 season ending in a first-round playoff loss to the Las Vegas Aces, star guard Caitlin Clark has turned her attention to the Indiana Pacers’ new campaign. The clear message from Clark and the Fever organization centers on support for Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton as he returns from a serious injury.

More than 125 cruise ship employees have been arrested by Federal Agents at U.S. ports for possession of illegal material involving children so far this year as part of “Operation Tidal Wave,” a multiagency initiative led by US Customs & Border Protection (CBP) officers, which also involves Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents assigned to the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).

A slow-cooker roast that practically shreds itself sounds like the result of careful seasoning and a long ingredient list, but this version needs only four ingredients to reach that tender finish. The slow cooker provides time and gentle heat, allowing the beef to soften while the simple seasonings concentrate into a rich cooking liquid. By dinner, the meat pulls apart beneath a fork and the entire house smells as though someone spent all day actively preparing the meal. The short ingredient list makes it realistic for busy mornings, limited grocery budgets, and anyone who wants comfort food without a complicated recipe. It is hearty, familiar, and impressive in the effortless way slow-cooker dinners often are. Few things feel better than opening the lid after a long day and discovering the main course already tender, hot, and waiting to be served.

I first saw this recipe years ago in a tattered church cookbook, the kind with splattered pages and hand drawn hearts next to all the best recipes, and it's been in my rotation ever since.

Pound cake is a Southern classic, but adding cream cheese gives it a dense, velvety crumb that butter alone can't match. Best of all, this recipe makes two loaves. Butter and cream cheese are beaten together until light and fluffy, then finished with vanilla and a little lemon zest. The cake isn't overly sweet, and it needs no glaze or topping. The top cracks and crumbles a little when you slice it, and those crumbs are the best part.

During the October 23th 2026 edition of WWE SmackDown, The Baddies (B-Fab and Michin) defeated Alexa Bliss and Tatum Paxley to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles. In the closing moments, Michin blocked Paxley’s Cemetery Driver before Jade Cargill delivered a cheap shot. Michin then hit the Styles Clash on Paxley to secure the victory and capture the titles with B-Fab.

California has already reported more rabid bats this year than in all of 2025, prompting renewed warnings about a disease that is nearly always fatal once symptoms appear. But there is a critical distinction: People exposed to rabies can receive treatment that prevents the disease. Recognizing a possible exposure and getting medical help promptly can save a life.

For many people, a single cruise can cost upwards of $2,500. How about more than a year of cruises for that amount?. It may seem far-fetched, but one cruise line is offering exactly that. For those that love sailing, it might be the deal of a lifetime. Here are the details…
