• The Rock & Logan Paul Squash Beef After 8 Years

The Rock and Logan Paul were once on good terms, having collaborated early in the YouTuber’s career. Their friendship came to an end in 2017 after Paul’s infamous incident in Japan’s Aokigahara forest, where he filmed a deceased person’s body. The controversy drew global outrage, and The Rock cut all ties with the former United States Champion soon after.

It seems like the two men have now reconciled. The Final Boss recently sent Logan Paul a heartfelt video message, signaling that their 8-year rift has finally come to an end.

Below is what he said to Paul:

“Yo, my brother, I know I look super cool right now. Uh… Bjorn, say hello to Logan Paul. Yo, brother, I know you’re doing Benny Safdie today. Uh… I’m so happy, man, that you’re going to meet him. That is my guy. That’s my brother and and he changed my life, and I just want you to know that. And you guys are going to have an amazing talk. I told Benny how much man I just loved you, and you guys are going to have a great talk.”

The Rock now has a professional connection to Logan Paul as well, as the YouTuber is under contract with WWE, which is owned by TKO, where The Great One serves on the Board of Directors.

• Another Return Taking Place At Wrestlepalooza

At WWE Clash In Paris, Wade Barrett stirred controversy when he questioned whether Nikki Bella fit in with today’s generation of female stars, pointing out how much women’s wrestling had evolved since the Divas era. Nikki Bella publicly responded to his remarks, and soon after, Barrett was noticeably absent from the SmackDown commentary desk.

Barrett’s absence led to speculation that WWE had taken him off TV as punishment for his comments about Nikki. He later clarified that his time off had been planned months in advance and said he had already cleared the air with the WWE Hall of Famer.

It seems like the former Intercontinental Champion is set to return to WWE programming this weekend. According to PWInsider, Wade Barrett is listed internally for the WWE broadcast team in Indianapolis. This marks another return for Wrestlepalooza, as Triple H previously stated that Pat McAfee will return to WWE programming at this PLE as well.

WWE is heading to Indianapolis for Wrestlepalooza on Saturday. It is possible that Michael Cole, Wade Barrett, and Pat McAfee will be the commentary team for the show.

Five matches are currently set for this PLE. Cody Rhodes will put the Undisputed WWE Championship on the line against Drew McIntyre, while CM Punk and AJ Lee will battle World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch in a Mixed Tag Team Match. Moreover, Stephanie Vaquer and IYO SKY will lock horns for the vacant Women’s World Championship.

The event will also feature The Usos vs. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. John Cena and Brock Lesnar’s final encounter will kick off the show.

According to PWInsider, the WWE store in Indianapolis is advertising a sixth bout for the show, which is a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Women’s Championship between Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargill and Nia Jax.

Stratton retained her title against Cargill on SmackDown last week, as the match ended in a Double Count Out. After the match, Jax attacked both Cargill and Stratton

However, it’s possible that the planned match may have been scrapped after Stratton took a bad landing on SmackDown last week. NXT General Manager Ava announced earlier this week that Stratton is not medically cleared to compete, and she was replaced by Lyra Valkyria in the main event of NXT Homecoming.
