WWE Superstar AJ Lee made her return to RAW earlier this week, costing Becky Lynch the Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Maxxine Dupri.

Ad AJ Lee has unfortunately found herself a subject of debate online. The WWE Superstar recently appeared at The Big Event NY on November 15th, meeting fans and signing autographs.

After banning the perpetrator, The Big Event made a statement regarding shows going forward. The convention is putting its foot down in an attempt to make sure nothing like this happens again.

“Retire please” “Age is being notorious now”: NFL fans mock Aaron Rodgers as Steelers QB gets injured vs. Bengals
NFL fans reacted strongly after Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a left wrist injury during the game against the Cincinnati Bengals. According to NFL insider Adam Schefter, Rodgers’ injury forced the Steelers to replace him with Mason Rudolph.
The news sparked a wave of reactions from fans, many of whom mocked the four-time MVP and former Green Bay Packers and New York Jets star, pointing to his age and the physical toll his body is enduring.
“Damn, age is being notorious now,” one fan remarked.
Another added a blunt message: “Retire please.”
Some fans also commented on how Rodgers’ injury at age 41 is a natural part of aging in professional sports.
“Aaron Rodgers getting hurt at 41 is normal human biology. Brady ruined the curve,” one post read, referencing Tom Brady’s lengthy career.
Others suggested that Rodgers should listen to his body and speculated that this setback might accelerate the Steelers’ plans to start rookie quarterback Will Howard.
One fan wrote,
“We’re getting closer to Will Howard. Yessssss. This is what’s going to happen — Rodgers broke his wrist and he’ll be out for the season. Rudolph will start and struggle for a few games, then Will Howard will make his debut and take over, starting the Will Howard era for the next 10 years. Woo hoo.”
Critics were also quick to label Rodgers as “washed up,” suggesting the Steelers should have relied on a younger player instead of betting on his ego.
“Rodgers is washed up at this point. Pittsburgh should have stuck with a younger guy instead of betting on his ego. Now they are stuck with Rudolph and no playoffs,” another fan wrote.
Adding a broader perspective on veteran quarterbacks’ longevity, one fan commented,
“Tough one, and I GET it, he’s Aaron Rodgers, but at some point, you just gotta listen to what the universe is telling you. How many seasons have to end with injury before we admit what Tom did isn’t a blueprint for success?”
Before his injury, Rodgers had completed 9 of 15 passes for 116 yards and one touchdown. He also contributed one rush for an 8-yard gain.

“He is in the shape of his life” – Thomas Tuchel hails ‘out of this world’ England star after their win over Serbia
Thomas Tuchel singled out Harry Kane for praise after England’s 2-0 win against Serbia in FIFA World Cup qualifying on Thursday.
Kane was named in the starting XI for the contest at Wembley and played for 65 minutes before he was replaced by Phil Foden in the 65th minute.
After the game, Tuchel was asked if Foden could challenge Kane to start important matches for England going forward. He said:
“It’s a big ask for [Phil Foden] to challenge Harry [Kane] at the moment. [Kane is] in the shape of his life. His attitude, work rate, quality and finishing ratio is just out of control [and] out of this world.”
Foden, who came on as a false nine for Kane, marked his appearance with an assist, setting up Eberechi Eze for England’s second goal. It was Foden’s first appearance for the national team since March.
Speaking after the match, the Manchester City star expressed excitement at returning to international duty. He said:
“It’s amazing to be back. I’m so happy to be back in the squad with these great players and I’m enjoying it. I thought I did well. I created some chances, we were unlucky not to put a few away. Overall, I have to be happy with the impact.”
The 25-year-old also hoped that his versatility could help him secure his place in Tuchel’s squad.
England’s 2-0 win against Serbia extended their World Cup qualifying run to seven wins from seven games.
Speaking about the match, Tuchel admitted that the game wasn’t a walk in the park but was happy with his side’s first-half performance.
“It was a difficult match. It was complicated because they knew everything about us and we knew nothing about them. Go through the list of players, they are at top clubs, they play in top leagues. They have individual quality, they came with new energy and they made it a final for them,” he said.
“I liked the first half a lot. I think we deserved to go up, I think we deserved to have maybe a second goal with Harry’s header. Second-half, we didn’t get the pressing right all the time, they escaped sometimes from the deep build-up into fast attacks so the back four had to work hard to keep the clean sheet.
“We had to overcome some difficult moments but I like it, not everything is easy. Not every win is 2-0, 3-0, 5-0. It is good. We kept a clean sheet and it was decisive in the end.”
The Three Lions will face Albania in their last group game on Sunday, November 16.

Auston Matthews, John Tavares cite consistency issues after “really immature” Leafs squander two-goal lead in loss to Hurricanes
The Carolina Hurricanes came back from a two-goal deficit to win 5-4 against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sunday at Scotiabank Arena.
The Leafs were ahead 4-2 with more than half the game done. The Hurricanes pulled back a goal late in the second period, then dominated the third period by outshooting the Leafs 22-2 and scoring twice to secure their fourth straight win.
Toronto goalie Dennis Hildeby was kept busy, making 46 saves throughout the game. Captain Auston Matthews acknowledged the inconsistency that has become a constant for the Leafs.
“It’s just been the same stuff, just details and execution,” Matthews said during his postgame presser. “I thought we were fortunate to have a lead after two. I mean, if it wasn’t for [Hildeby], three, four breakaways there that we gave up, he made big saves. And just details. I didn’t think we won enough puck battles tonight, and just kind of the repetitive stuff that we just can’t seem to get right or we can’t seem to have consistency over a full 60 minutes.”
In a see-saw first period, the Leafs took the lead with William Nylander scoring the opening goal within 5 minutes. The Hurricanes responded quickly with two goals, but the Leafs answered back with two of their own in just 3:30. John Tavares tied the game at 2-2 before Nylander scored his second of the night to give Toronto the lead heading into the first intermission.
“Well, they’re a good hockey team, and they put a lot of pressure on you,” Tavares said. “So, at times we did some really good things, earned opportunities, and were able to give ourselves a lead. And then our game just for whatever reason becomes really immature, and we don’t manage the game very well.”
Matthews’ second-period goal to make it 4-2 wasn’t enough as Toronto was unable to fend off the Carolina rally.
“Yeah, I mean, we gained some traction, and then we shoot ourselves in the foot again, and just put ourselves in a tough spot,” Tavares added. “So, there’s a ton of hockey left to be played. So, we just got to obviously pick ourselves back up and get ready for the next opportunity and build from there.”
Craig Berube disappointed with Leafs’ overall effort in back-to-back games
On Saturday against the Boston Bruins, the Leafs were unable to build on a high-octane first period that featured 4 goals. Head coach Craig Berube pointed out the glaring issues recurring on Sunday against the Hurricanes and expressed his disappointment.
“Could be immaturity, not a willingness to make the easy play,” Berube said. “Turnover after turnover cost us the game tonight. We didn’t check anybody tonight, we didn’t win any battles tonight. That’s two games in a row.”
The Leafs have now lost twice after a three-game losing streak. They hold an 8-7-1 record and sit third from the bottom in the Atlantic Division with 17 points.

“The fans don’t understand” – Former Liverpool star makes surprise claim about Trent Alexander-Arnold joining Real Madrid
Former Premier League player Jermaine Pennant has criticized Liverpool fans for booing Real Madrid star Trent Alexander-Arnold during his return to Anfield. Pennant believes that the fans do not fully understand the allure of the Spanish club and emphasized that the Englishman had achieved everything at Liverpool before his departure.
Speaking to AS, Pennant acknowledged the passion of Liverpool supporters and understood their disappointment at Alexander-Arnold’s exit. However, he disagreed with the notion that the player abandoned the club and the city.
“It’s difficult because Liverpool fans are so passionate. Obviously, they didn’t like that he left. The fans don’t understand. They think he should stay at Liverpool because it’s more than a club, it’s a family. They feel he has abandoned the club, the city, and the fans. I understand why the fans are upset. Nobody wants to see a great player leave their club, especially when he’s been there so long,” Pennant said.
Highlighting Trent’s achievements, Pennant added that the defender had been brilliant since his academy days and should be celebrated for his career at Anfield. He also explained that it was natural for the player to want to experience a different league.
“The other side of the coin is that he was a great servant of Liverpool. He’d been at the club since he was very young and rose through the ranks to win everything with them. Would they have had the same success without him? He was a great player, but there comes a time in a player’s career when they want to try something different, and the opportunity to play for a club like Real Madrid isn’t something that’s available to most players and is very difficult to turn down. On the other hand, I appreciate that some fans are thanking him for what he’s done and wishing him all the best at Real Madrid,” Pennant added.
Meanwhile, Manchester United has also criticized Liverpool fans for booing Trent Alexander-Arnold during his recent return to Anfield.
Trent Alexander-Arnold left Liverpool for Real Madrid in the summer after running down his contract with the Reds. Initially set to join on a free transfer, Real Madrid paid a £10 million fee to secure his services a month earlier than planned, ahead of their participation in the FIFA Club World Cup.
Since his move, the Englishman has been competing for the right-back position with Dani Carvajal. However, injuries to both players this season have led coach Xabi Alonso to deploy midfielder Federico Valverde in the role.
Alexander-Arnold made his first return to Anfield earlier this month, featuring in the second half of Real Madrid’s 1-0 defeat in the UEFA Champions League.

“If I play in the PL now in a top team, I’ll still score the same (goals)” – Cristiano Ronaldo makes bold claim in new Piers Morgan interview
Cristiano Ronaldo has boldly claimed that he would have scored the same number of goals in the Premier League last season as he did in the Saudi Pro League with Al-Nassr. The Portuguese superstar believes he still has what it takes to lead the attack of a top English side, despite being 40 years old.
Speaking to Piers Morgan, Ronaldo emphasized that he has been proving year after year that he can consistently score goals. The former Manchester United forward insisted that his impressive numbers are not merely a product of playing in the Saudi Pro League. He added that if he had top players supporting him on the pitch in the Premier League, he would have managed the same goal tally.
He said:
“Ah! Excuse. Yeah, excuses. It’s the most simple way. For everything, excuses, excuses, excuses. Year by year, year by year, I score more. Even in a bad year, I scored 25 goals. If I played the Premier League, now in a top team, I will score the same! If I had a good team, at 40 years old, I will score the same. I don’t need to speak because they can say whatever they want, but the numbers, they don’t lie.”
Ronaldo also addressed critics who downplay his achievements in the Saudi Pro League.
“They can’t say Saudi league. They have never been here, they never play here. They don’t know what [it is like] to run in 40 degrees [temperature]. They don’t know. And I still continue and I repeat the Saudi League, the Saudi league, it’s much, much better than Portuguese League, of course. French league is only PSG. Premier League is good, of course, is the number one.”
Last season, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 25 goals in the Saudi Pro League, in addition to a further 10 goals in the AFC Champions League and the Saudi Super Cup.
### Cristiano Ronaldo Wants More Respect for the Saudi Pro League
Ronaldo also expressed frustration about the Saudi Pro League goals being downplayed by France Football in their Ballon d’Or considerations. He said ignoring these goals is a mistake.
“It’s easier for me to score in Spain than in Saudi Arabia,” he explained.
“And they should count, even they should count, like the goals to be the top scorer, the Golden Ball [Ballon d’Or]. Why? They don’t count Saudi league. Why? Look how many top players we have in a league. Check! Ask the other players if the league is good, don’t ask me because it’s easy to ask me, I’m always saying that ‘Ah, Cristiano saying that because he play in Saudi’. No, no. I play everywhere. Everywhere. For me, it’s more easy to score in Spain than to score in Saudi.”
To put his achievements into perspective, Ronaldo scored 450 goals in 438 matches for Real Madrid. Since joining Al-Nassr in 2022, he has impressively netted 102 goals in 115 matches.
Cristiano Ronaldo continues to defy age and expectations, proving that his goal-scoring prowess remains as potent as ever.

Our pace was moving faster than what a confident team normally allows.”
He added, “Their offensive ability is the most obvious thing when you look at the numbers. This is the best offensive Nebraska team I’ve seen. Even when you score, their ability to side out quickly is very impressive.”

“Got to find that person with the voodoo”: Adam Foote in disbelief as Canucks lose latest forward Brock Boeser due to injury in game vs. Blues
Vancouver Canucks coach Adam Foote expressed disbelief after losing forward Brock Boeser to injury during Thursday’s 4-3 shootout win over the St. Louis Blues.
The Canucks have been plagued by injuries this season, and Boeser was the ninth player to join the team’s long injury list. He sustained a lower-body injury after taking a slapshot to the lower abdomen during Thursday’s game. He is currently considered day-to-day.
In the post-game media interaction, Foote said:
“Yeah, we got to find that person with the voodoo and all, if that’s a thing. I don’t believe in that stuff, but I’m like, ‘What is going on here?’ It’s going to just, if we can handle it and be resilient, stick to what we’re doing, we’ll all grow from it.”
He added,
“And once we get another guy back, another guy back, another guy back, now we’ve got depth. So, I mean, yeah, it’s tough, but I’m just proud of the group. They’re becoming a very good team in there, and that’s huge.”
Foote had no update regarding the extent of Brock Boeser’s injury. Boeser has six points this season through four goals and two assists.
In addition to Boeser, the Canucks are already without several key players including captain Quinn Hughes, Conor Garland, Derek Forbort, Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini, Teddy Blueger, Jonathan Lekkerimaki, and Nils Hoglander.

Foote praised Sherwood’s dedication and mindset, saying,
“He loves the game. What I love about him is, early in the season, he was good, and then got off real quick and his emotions were in play, and our four coaches did a good job just talking to him, going, ‘You have some fun here.’”
