Israel and Hamas prepare for negotiations in Egypt ahead of possible Gaza ceasefire

CAIRO (AP) — Israel and Hamas prepared for indirect negotiations in Egypt on Monday, as hopes for a possible ceasefire in Gaza grew following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s statement that a hostage release could be announced this week.

Tuesday marks two years since the Hamas attack that sparked the current war. President Donald Trump welcomed Hamas’s statement accepting some elements of the U.S. peace plan, which Israel has also expressed support for.

Under the plan, Hamas would release the remaining 48 hostages—about 20 believed to be alive—within three days. In addition, Hamas would relinquish power and disarm.

The delegation led by top Israeli negotiator Ron Dermer is scheduled to leave Monday for talks in Sharm el-Sheikh, according to Netanyahu’s office. An Egyptian official, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters, confirmed that the Hamas delegation had arrived and said U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff is joining the talks.

Discussions will focus on the proposed exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, Egypt’s foreign ministry said.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the situation as “the closest we’ve come to getting all of the hostages released.” Speaking on ABC’s *This Week*, he outlined two phases following Hamas’s acceptance of Trump’s framework: the release of hostages and Israel’s withdrawal in Gaza to the “yellow line,” where it stood in August.

Rubio told CBS that Hamas should release hostages as they are ready, and emphasized that bombardment needs to end to facilitate the release.

The U.S. plan also addresses Gaza’s future. In a text exchange with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Trump warned that there would be “complete obliteration” if Hamas remained in power there. Trump also texted that Netanyahu supports ending the bombing and achieving peace in Gaza but added, “soon on the rest.”

### Support for a Ceasefire Grows

Israeli government spokeswoman Shosh Badrosian told journalists that Netanyahu is in “regular contact” with Trump and stressed that the talks in Egypt “will be confined to a few days maximum.”

“I hope that we are closest to a hostage deal since the (ceasefire) deal in January,” said Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar in a speech.

Meanwhile, anxious relatives of hostages gathered near Netanyahu’s residence in Jerusalem, some urging Trump to continue applying pressure. Israel’s recent military offensive in Gaza City has heightened fears for the hostages’ safety.

“We cannot allow such a historic agreement to be sacrificed again,” said Michel Ilouz, father of hostage Guy Ilouz.

Across several European cities and other locations, hundreds of thousands marched in support of Palestinians. The foreign ministers of eight Muslim-majority countries issued a joint statement welcoming steps toward a possible ceasefire. They also emphasized their commitment to the return of the Palestinian Authority to Gaza, the unification of Gaza and the West Bank, and reaching an agreement leading to a “full Israeli withdrawal” from Gaza.

Rubio told ABC that decisions regarding a governing structure or international group to manage Gaza can occur simultaneously with the initial phase of the ceasefire.

“That’s the part that I think is going to be a little tougher to work through, but that’s what’s going to provide permanency to the end of the conflict,” he said.

### At Least 12 Killed in Gaza on Sunday

Although Trump ordered Israel to stop bombing Gaza, residents and local hospitals reported that strikes continued across the territory.

Israeli government spokeswoman Badrosian confirmed that “certain bombings have actually stopped inside of the Gaza Strip.” However, Israel’s military chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, warned, “if the political effort does not succeed, we will return to fight.”

At least eight people were killed Sunday in multiple strikes in Gaza City, according to Shifa Hospital, which received the casualties. A security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the strikes targeted Hamas militants posing a threat to Israeli troops.

Additionally, four people were shot dead near an aid distribution site in the southern city of Rafah, according to Nasser Hospital. Israel’s military denied involvement in that incident.

Doctors Without Borders confirmed the death of colleague Abed El Hameed Qaradaya, who was wounded in an attack last Thursday that killed another colleague in Gaza.

Gaza’s Health Ministry reported that the Palestinian death toll in the war reached 67,139 on Sunday, with nearly 170,000 injured. The ministry does not specify how many of those killed were civilians or combatants, but states that women and children make up about half of the dead.

The ministry is part of the Hamas-run government, and the United Nations and many independent experts consider its figures to be the most reliable estimate of wartime casualties.

Israel’s military has said it continues to dismantle Hamas infrastructure and warned residents not to return to northern Gaza.

“We’re on the brink, and we don’t know whether one will die of a strike or starvation,” said Mahmoud Hashem, a Palestinian father sheltering in a tent in Gaza City.

Aaron Phypers’ Cousin Claims He ‘Hit’ and ‘Choked’ Denise Richards in Shocking Testimony During Divorce Battle — ‘She Could Have Died’

**Aaron Phypers’ Cousin Backs Denise Richards in Divorce Battle, Alleges Abuse**

*Updated Oct. 6, 2025, 6:27 p.m. ET*

Aaron Phypers’ cousin is backing Denise Richards in her ongoing divorce battle, claiming she witnessed the actress’ now ex-husband abuse her, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

**Cousin Alleges Witnessing Abuse**

Kathleen McAllister made the shocking allegations on Monday, October 6, during a court hearing concerning Richards’ request to make her temporary restraining order against Phypers permanent.

“I saw Aaron hit Denise, and immediately she had a really bad black eye,” McAllister claimed during her testimony. “I’m literally in shock now to this day about it.”

Earlier this year, Richards shared a photo of herself with a black eye, accusing Phypers of causing the injury. During the hearing, McAllister — who worked at Phypers’ medical office in Malibu for five years — revealed how Phypers allegedly struck Richards with the palm of his hand.

“[Denise] was in shock, I was in shock,” she recalled.

**’Horrific’ Acts of Abuse Described**

According to McAllister, the couple’s fighting often escalated, with one particular argument triggered by Phypers accusing Richards of placing “listening devices” in his office. She said alcohol was involved during the incident.

“It was an evening of chaos and arguing that kept escalating,” she said in court.

Phypers, 53, filed for divorce from the 54-year-old actress on July 7, 2025, citing their separation date as July 4. Despite their split, both have continued exchanging accusations, each alleging horrific behavior by the other.

McAllister testified that she witnessed “horrific” abuse by Phypers during their relationship, including an incident where he “pinned [Richards] against the concrete wall where his truck was parked at the office.”

“He was choking her and her head slammed against the [wall] and caused a concussion,” McAllister claimed. “She was just really upset, in pain, disoriented. [I was] concerned she could have died.”

**Disturbing Details of Abuse**

In another fight, McAllister stated she heard “thrashing” in the bathroom. She alleged Richards suffered a brutal head injury after Phypers slammed her head on a toilet paper rack.

Adding to the disturbing details, McAllister claimed she heard Phypers threaten to kill Richards “several times.”

When asked if she feared for Richards’ life, McAllister responded, “We both were. He threatened to kill us.” She added, “He just would be raging and threatening that if we told anybody, he’d kill us all. As abuse escalated through the years, he exploited our empathy.”

Before her testimony, Richards’ lawyer revealed that McAllister agreed to speak under the condition her name be kept off the witness list because she is “deathly afraid of Mr. Phypers.”

**Phypers Denies Allegations**

Phypers has not directly responded to the claims made in McAllister’s testimony. However, he did deny ever striking Richards during an interview with Inside Edition.

“It looks like makeup,” Phypers said when shown a photo of Richards with the injury. “I did not cause a black eye, bruise, or anything.”

He also accused Richards of fabricating the abuse claims out of anger. “She’s upset I publicly dumped her to the world, and she’s mad. So how does she retaliate? File a bogus abuse claim,” he stated.

Since filing for divorce, Richards has accused Phypers of domestic violence and was granted a temporary restraining order against the wellness guru.

The couple is scheduled to appear in court on October 8 to determine whether the restraining order will be made permanent.

Glenside teacher, author, and mother launches book and business to highlight passion for math

Glenside resident Shameeka Browne is a mother of five, business owner, and teacher who has recently added another accomplishment to her resume: author. Browne’s new book, *Queen of 24*, tells her personal story while also highlighting her passion for math.

She hopes that her book, along with her business, Math is All Around Us LLC, will help children and their parents gain a deeper understanding of math. Through her endeavors and business, Browne aspires to open a space for teachers who want to try out new activities to teach math to their students and see if the exercises will work in the classroom.

“I see that there is a greater need for families to be empowered with how they can help their child with their math education,” she said. “The great thing about passion is it becomes contagious, but it just can’t be the passion, it also has to be the love for the young people that are sitting in front of you.”

Browne credits her love for math to one of her teachers at Wagner Middle School, Mr. Plummer, who is also featured in the book. She plans to release five more books, each focusing on the varying age groups of her five children, from preschool to college.

“I want to help families understand the roles that they have in their child’s math education,” Browne explained. “It truly does start at home, and the math that your child sees from the time that they wake up in the morning to the time that they go to bed at night — we can take advantage of that.”

During the writing and creative process, Browne faced several challenges. Uncertainty about having enough money to publish, fear that her story was not worthy of being published, and a publisher terminating their contract just two weeks before she was supposed to reveal the book cover to her family and supporters left her with feelings of inadequacy.

“I’m a math person, and it’s ironic that I put myself in the same position that I tell my students not to do,” Browne said. “When they say they are not math people, I prove to them that they are. But on the flip side, I was telling myself that I wasn’t a writer because who could be both? I can be both.”

Browne was able to find an illustrator who could adequately reflect the story she was telling: Philly native Reggie Byers, who had also done some artwork at Wagner Middle School.

“I look at the cover, and I want to cry,” Browne shared. “What was different about this illustrator was that I did not send him any pictures other than a picture of myself during that time in middle school and my family. When I tell you I saw the cover and said, ‘This looks like me.’”

Before its official release to the public, Browne sold over 200 copies of *Queen of 24*—a remarkable feat for most first-time authors. The book is currently available for purchase at [www.mathisallaroundus.org](http://www.mathisallaroundus.org).

She continues to help the next generation find their love and passion for math as a math specialist and content lead in the Lower Merion School District.

“Her passion for math is omnipresent in much of what she does and sees,” said Jameelah Hairston, a Glenside resident. “She challenges you to see how math is everywhere and present in many everyday activities and tasks.”

Pi Network sheds $18B in six months: ‘That’s basically a rug pull’

**Key Takeaways**

– Pi Network’s token, PI, has plunged over 90%, erasing nearly $18 billion in market capitalization and fueling fresh rug pull claims.
– Without addressing community concerns and supply growth issues, PI could remain under downward pressure in the coming months.

—

**Why Is Pi Network Facing Rug Pull Claims Again?**

Since its debut in March, the Pi Network [PI] price has crashed over 90%, reigniting allegations that the project might be a rug pull. At launch, the price soared to $2.79, pushing the market capitalization to approximately $18 billion amid a wave of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). However, the price has since slipped below $1 and plunged further to around $0.26, wiping out more than $16 billion in market cap over the past six months.

A pseudonymous crypto market commentator known as Mr Spock weighed in on the situation, stating, “Pi crashed over 90% from its highest position, that’s basically a rug pull.”

—

**Hype and Speculative Interest Fade**

Back in May, Pi Network faced similar rug pull accusations after the team allegedly established a $100 million venture fund amid more than six years of unmet expectations and broken promises. Many community members believed that this fund—partly sourced from internal revenue and mining activities—was diverted for external purposes rather than being reinvested into the ecosystem.

This backlash contributed to the token’s inability to rebound in May, dragging the price down below $0.50. Despite the sour market sentiment, data from Pi Scan indicated some continued accumulation of PI tokens. Over the past 24 hours alone, a net flow of $112.3 million was recorded, meaning more PI tokens flowed out of exchanges than into them, which suggests buying activity.

—

**Derivatives Data Show Collapse in Speculative Interest**

Despite signs of accumulation, speculative interest has sharply declined. While there has been some improvement in the futures market demand, overall speculative interest dropped by more than 10 times. According to Glassnode, PI’s Open Interest (OI)—the total value of open contracts in the derivatives market—plummeted from nearly $120 million to about $20 million.

This sustained bearish pressure reflects the community’s growing frustration and feeling of being sidelined by the Pi Network team.

—

**Inflationary Pressure Weighs on Price**

Another major factor dragging down PI’s price is inflationary pressure. Since May, the circulating supply of PI tokens has surged by over 1 billion tokens, exacerbating downward price pressure.

—

**What’s Next for PI?**

Unless the Pi Network team addresses community concerns and carefully manages token supply growth, PI could continue to face heavy downward pressure. Rebuilding trust and stabilizing the token economy will be critical to any future recovery efforts.

EXCLUSIVE: Ozzy Osbourne Reveals Dream Epitaph in Emotional Memoir — After Radar Told You First He Was Set to Include Sad Grave Message in Final Book

**Ozzy Osbourne Reveals His Dream Epitaph in Posthumous Memoir**

*Published Oct. 6, 2025, 6:00 p.m. ET*

Ozzy Osbourne has revealed his dream epitaph, joking darkly about his own death in his posthumous memoir while reflecting on his extraordinary final show, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

The 76-year-old Black Sabbath frontman, who passed away at his Buckinghamshire home after years of illness, writes candidly about the end of his life and shares his hopes for what will appear on his tombstone.

### Osbourne’s Ideal Epitaph Revealed

In an extract from *Back to the Beginning* — his forthcoming memoir detailing his last concert at Villa Park in Birmingham before 42,000 fans — Osbourne describes feeling at peace with his mortality and shares his preferred epitaph.

“Between you and me, though, I’m thinking something short and sweet,” he says about his ideal inscription. “‘I told you I wasn’t feeling well’ should do the trick.”

The line is a nod to legendary British comic Spike Milligan, whose own epitaph reads the same but was inscribed in Irish to placate church authorities.

### Family Reflects on Osbourne’s Humor About Death

According to those close to him, Osbourne discussed the idea of his epitaph with his wife Sharon, 72, and their children Aimee, Kelly, and Jack in the months before his death.

“Ozzy always had that wicked sense of humor, even about death,” a family friend said. “He loved Spike Milligan and would often quote him. He felt that epitaph summed up his whole life — funny, self-deprecating, and a little bit rebellious.”

Another insider added, “Sharon hated him talking about the grave, but Ozzy was insistent. He said, ‘That’s me, that’s who I am.’ He wanted to make people smile even at the very end.”

### ‘Death’s Been Knocking at My Door’

Osbourne shared his ideal epitaph in the memoir after RadarOnline.com was first to reveal in July that he was penning his final words for his gravestone ahead of his last Black Sabbath gig.

In the book, Osbourne also recounts how close he came to missing his final show due to a string of health crises, including pneumonia, sepsis, and ongoing complications from Parkinson’s disease. Less than three weeks before the gig, doctors warned he might not survive.

“Death’s been knocking at my door for the last six years, louder and louder,” Osbourne writes. “And at some point, I’m gonna have to let him in. Not that I’m ready to go. But I’ve had a good run. I think I made a mark on the world. And I’m glad I didn’t check out early, like so many others.”

### Final Wishes and Reflections

His memoir also details his and Sharon’s decision to be buried together and his refusal to be cremated.

“When the end does come, I don’t want to be cremated,” he writes. “It’s like you were never here. You’re just a bag of dust. That’s not for me. I wanna make the flowers grow.”

Despite the somber subject matter, the book is filled with the same black humor and wild stories that made Osbourne a cult figure — from tales of smuggling jewelry on a transatlantic flight to rehearsing with the original Sabbath lineup for their “metal’s answer to Live Aid” final show.

But it’s his reflections on legacy and the afterlife that resonate most.

“People ask me what I think’s gonna happen in the afterlife,” he writes. “I say to ’em, I’ve no idea, but it won’t be long now, so if you hang around a bit, maybe I can haunt you and give you the answer.”

MTV Tragedy: ‘Teen Mom’ Star Hospitalized After Suffering Stroke… As Family Now Rallies Her Around For Support Despite Longterm Feud

Oct. 6, 2025, Published 4:47 p.m. ET

A former beloved Teen Mom 2 star was rushed to the hospital after experiencing a medical emergency, RadarOnline.com can confirm. According to reports, Jenelle Evans’ mother, Barbara Evans, was hospitalized after suffering a stroke.

Barbara Evans Had a Stroke Last Week

Insiders revealed that the stroke occurred last week. Luckily, Barbara was discharged from the hospital and is currently at home recuperating. She is expected to make a full recovery.

Jenelle, who currently resides in Las Vegas, flew to North Carolina to visit her mother and be with her family during this scary ordeal. She was unable to get there sooner due to recent sinus surgery, which prevented her from flying.

Jenelle and Barbara’s Complicated History

Jenelle and Barbara have had a tumultuous relationship over the years. In 2010, Barbara was granted legal custody of Jenelle’s oldest son, Jace, after Jenelle agreed to sign her rights over to her mom. In 2017, the custody agreement was amended to establish a specific visitation schedule, allowing Jenelle more time with Jace.

Jenelle eventually regained custody of Jace in 2023, but their relationship has experienced many ups and downs. Incidents included Jace running away from home, resulting in police involvement. In May 2025, Jenelle sent Jace to live in Florida with his father, but this arrangement was short-lived as Jace returned to Jenelle’s home in Las Vegas.

Leaked Text Messages Between Jenelle and Jace

In August, Jace leaked text messages exchanged between him and Jenelle. In these texts, Jenelle claimed he “lied” about her ex-husband, David Eason, strangling him. Jace described Jenelle as “crazy” and threatened to reveal “how Jenelle really is.” He also expressed a desire to return to North Carolina, citing that Jenelle was “really unstable.” Alongside a text of Jenelle cursing him out, he wrote, “I need to go back to NC she is just really unstable.”

Jenelle Evans’ Response to Text Message Leak

Jenelle took to Instagram Story to defend herself, writing:

“My children are my whole world. And everything I do is to try and protect, guide, and love them. Like any parent, I set rules and boundaries. And sometimes that isn’t easy.”

She described Jace’s posting of their “private texts” as “his reaction to being rightfully disciplined.”

“And while it hurts to see those moments shared publicly, I know it comes from a place of struggle,” she continued. “Navigating Jace’s medical diagnoses has not been easy, but I have never stopped fighting to make sure he has the resources, love and support he needs. I will always stand by him. No matter what challenges come our way. And I will continue to work on being the best mom I can be to all three of my kids.”

She then asked for “empathy, kindness and prayers during this time” for her, Jace, and their family as they “work through this together.”

Jenelle returned to Instagram Story to share that Jace had recently been “in trouble with the law” and was “having a hard time adjusting to the rules set before him.”

“I’ve been trying everything to help him navigate it, but we are butting heads in the process,” she concluded. “Please give us grace at this time. This is hard on all of us.”

Jenelle Was Not Speaking to Barbara Amid Custody Issues

After the text messages were made public, Jace returned to North Carolina to live with Barbara again. In August, Jenelle confirmed on Facebook that she and her mother were “not speaking right now.”

In early September, Jenelle spoke about the situation and shared some lighthearted remarks about her son. When a fan asked, “How’s my mom?” she replied, “She’s doing good. She’s in North Carolina.”

“She’s hanging in there with Jace,” Jenelle continued, laughing so hard she had to cover her mouth with her shirt sleeve. “Sorry, I laugh because it’s like, y’all don’t even know. People think it’s me, and it’s not me. It’s not me.”

Jenelle explained that she “grew up with all that yelling and screaming in my house,” adding, “Jace is going through it,” before laughing again.

Current Status

To date, Jenelle has not publicly commented on her mother’s recent health ordeal.

Smiling Friends season 3 premiere ending explained: Does Silly Samuel finally get respect?

**Smiling Friends Season 3 Premiere “Silly Samuel” Debuts with Absurd yet Profound Storytelling**

The much-anticipated premiere episode of *Smiling Friends* Season 3, titled **“Silly Samuel,”** aired on Sunday, October 5, 2025. True to the show’s signature style, it delivers absurd yet meaningful scenarios that keep fans eagerly tuning in.

At the heart of this episode is a new client, Silly Samuel, who is tired of being laughed at and not taken seriously. Charlie and Pim, the familiar faces fans love, are dispatched to help Samuel with his unusual request. However, their mission proves far more complicated than expected.

—

**Spoiler Alert:** The following article contains spoilers from *Smiling Friends* Season 3, Episode 1. Reader discretion is advised.

—

### Silly Samuel’s Struggle for Respect

Throughout the episode, Samuel’s pleas for respect fall on deaf ears. Despite his insistence on being taken seriously, people largely dismiss him as a joke. It’s only after a series of disasters strikes that Samuel gains attention, but even then, it is out of fear — not respect.

Samuel attempts to warn the public about an impending catastrophe, but his clownish appearance and demeanor cause his fears to be ignored. His growing frustration builds as chaos unfolds around him, climaxing with the *Smiling Friends* office building collapsing in a destructive yet darkly comedic fashion. Ironically, it’s this unavoidable disaster that finally forces people to acknowledge Samuel, although reluctantly.

—

### Samuel’s Journey: From Mockery to Desperation

Silly Samuel is portrayed as a figure constantly ridiculed for both his appearance and behavior. When Charlie and Pim are assigned to help, their first solution is to alter Samuel’s look, hoping it will lead others to take him more seriously.

This plan is quickly abandoned when a doctor warns them that changing Samuel’s appearance could be fatal. Undeterred, Samuel’s frustration only deepens, as he realizes that society judges him superficially and treats him differently based on how he looks.

—

### The Farcical Building Inspection: A Side Story

Parallel to Samuel’s storyline is a comedic subplot featuring an overzealous building inspector examining the *Smiling Friends* office. The inspector focuses obsessively on insignificant details, frustrating Mr. Boss and Allan, who struggle to get through the inspection.

One of these “minor” details turns out to have major consequences — a cord that literally holds the office together. While no one else heeds the inspector’s nitpicking, his attention to detail sets the stage for the episode’s chaotic finale. When the building finally collapses, the inspector is caught in the rubble and humorously turns into sand.

—

### The Unheeded Warning

In the episode’s climactic moments, Samuel finally manages to warn a crowd gathered in a park about the looming disaster. Predictably, his warnings are met with laughter and mockery as onlookers assume he’s playing another joke. However, once the office building begins to topple toward the crowd, the situation becomes too urgent to ignore.

The episode ends amid pandemonium, with people scrambling to escape and suffering injuries — a chaotic and unsettling scene wrapped in *Smiling Friends*’ signature dark humor.

—

### Where to Watch

*Smiling Friends* Season 3, Episode 1 is currently available to watch on **Adult Swim**, with next-day streaming access on **Max**.

Solo Sikoa to introduce WWE megastar as the missing part of MFT? Exploring the possibility

Solo Sikoa Could Completely Shift the Dynamic of WWE SmackDown Soon

After losing the United States Championship to Sami Zayn on the August 29 episode of SmackDown, Solo Sikoa, known as The Street Champion, has been regrouping with his MFTs (Maximum Family Ties) in a series of cryptic vignettes. Over the past three weeks, Sikoa has reintroduced Tonga Loa, JC Mateo, and Talla Tonga to the WWE Universe. The 32-year-old thanked them for their loyalty and acknowledged their contributions to the faction.

However, last week, Sikoa hinted that something is missing from his family. He claimed that once he has that missing part, everyone will be on notice. This mysterious reference has sparked significant speculation among fans and insiders alike.

### Could The Rock Be the Missing Piece?

One shocking possibility is that the missing piece Solo mentioned could be none other than The Rock. Last year, on October 5, The Rock made a memorable return to WWE following the main event of Bad Blood 2024. In that match, Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns defeated Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu in a tag team bout. After the match, The Brahma Bull walked out and stared down everyone in the ring from the stage.

Although many fans criticized this moment for lacking any immediate payoff, recent developments suggest it could finally lead to something significant. During The Rock’s return, Solo Sikoa was shown in the crowd, hinting that it was all part of some larger plan. Now, over a year later, Solo — known as The Final Boss — could be revealed as the ultimate mastermind behind the MFT.

Sikoa’s faction has struggled to live up to expectations and is in desperate need of revitalization. Introducing The Rock as the leader would instantly raise the group’s profile and “put everyone on notice,” as Solo himself claimed. While many fans expect Tama Tonga to be revealed as the missing piece of the MFT, WWE’s creative team might surprise everyone with a swerve by bringing The Great One into the mix.

That said, this remains purely speculative at this point.

### Former WWE Writer Criticizes Solo Sikoa’s Video Packages on SmackDown

As mentioned earlier, Solo Sikoa has been building momentum for his stable through video packages on SmackDown over the past few weeks. In one segment, The Street Champion urged Talla Tonga to “unleash the monster inside” and destroy anyone who stands in the MFT’s path.

Despite the hype, former WWE writer Vince Russo has expressed criticism of these vignettes. Speaking on last week’s episode of Sportskeeda WrestleBinge’s “BroDown” hosted by Mac Davis, Russo argued that the creative team is booking the faction backward.

He stated,
“It’s comical to me that now we’re doing Solo Sikoa and his whole group — and now we’re doing vignettes on these guys, and now introducing these guys — how many months after the fact? Isn’t that the first thing you’re supposed to do? Shouldn’t we have had Solo introduce these guys one by one before we saw them as a group? That right there just tells you they have no clue what they’re doing. You don’t give these guys introductions after you’ve seen them on television for six months. That doesn’t make any sense.”

### Looking Ahead

Despite the criticisms, it will be intriguing to see what the future holds for Solo Sikoa and his villainous stable on WWE SmackDown. Whether or not The Rock becomes involved, the MFT is clearly heading toward a pivotal moment that could reshape the blue brand’s landscape.

Stay tuned for further updates as this storyline develops.
