• Ari Emanuel Wants To Turn WWE Personality Into The Next Sylvester Stallone
According to Bloomberg, Ari Emanuel has a new mission: transforming Pat McAfee from a sports media powerhouse into a Hollywood leading man.
As the executive chairman of WME and head of TKO Group Holdings (which owns WWE), Emanuel is reportedly aiming to mold the former NFL punter into a cross-media icon in the vein of Sylvester Stallone. While Emanuel no longer manages the day-to-day operations of Endeavor, he has personally taken McAfee under his wing, joining a client roster that includes A-listers like Larry David and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The pivot toward acting is already in full swing with two major projects:
1. Tulsa King: McAfee has secured a four-episode guest arc on the upcoming season of the Paramount+ hit. He will star alongside Stallone himself in the Taylor Sheridan-produced crime drama.
2. The Mosquito Bowl: McAfee will play a U.S. Marine drill instructor in this high-profile Netflix film directed by Peter Berg. The World War II sports drama is based on the book by Buzz Bissinger and wrapped filming in late 2025.
By leveraging McAfee’s massive popularity on ESPN and his on-and-off role as a WWE commentator, Emanuel is betting that McAfee’s unique charisma will translate into the next big action star archetype.

• Female WWE Star Suffered Wardrobe Malfunction In Saudi Arabia
A favorite ring outfit has officially met its end following a hidden mishap at Royal Rumble 2026. During an interview on TMZ’s Inside the Ring podcast, Raquel Rodriguez admitted that while she made it through the match clean in the eyes of the cameras, her gear didn’t survive the night.
The wardrobe malfunction occurred toward the very end of the Women’s Royal Rumble, though Rodriguez noted that viewers at home were none the wiser. It wasn’t until the match concluded that she discovered a hole had torn in the back of her trunks. Because of the damage, Rodriguez confirmed that the outfit has been officially retired from her rotation.
“I did get a hole in the butt at the end of Rumble, which no one saw until the end.”
Interestingly, the gear itself was a “re-run” of a previous look. Rodriguez revealed that the ensemble was the same one she wore during her brutal street fight against Rhea Ripley in Saudi Arabia. She explained that a tight schedule prevented her from commissioning a brand-new design for the Rumble, and she felt the epic look deserved a second life on a major stage anyway.
Despite the late-match tear, the Judgment Day member laughed off the incident, noting she was simply thankful the malfunction didn’t become visible during the live broadcast.
