Playboi Carti fans have been waiting forever for his new album, but according to WWE’s Cora Jade, she’s the reason it finally dropped.

On February 19, Cora took to Twitter and demanded Carti release the project, tweeting, “Drop the album @playboicarti.” Fast forward just a few days, and it actually happened. Spotify confirmed the drop on February 21, posting a massive billboard with “SORRY 4 DA WAIT” written across it—Playboi Carti’s way of acknowledging the long delay.

Cora wasted no time claiming her impact. She responded Spotify’s post and wrote, “Omg my tweet worked.”

For years, Carti has been teasing I AM MUSIC, but his fans have been stuck in a cycle of waiting, false starts, and cryptic messages. Every supposed release date came and went, leaving fans skeptical about whether the album even existed.

Now, after all the buildup, it finally arrived—and Cora Jade is making sure everyone knows she might be the reason.

The February 21 episode of WWE SmackDown wasn’t just another match night—it was a carefully orchestrated chess move, and the mastermind behind it all? TJ Wilson.

Wilson, better known to fans as former WWE superstar Tyson Kidd, has become WWE’s go-to producer when it comes to the women’s division. His fingerprints were all over this match between Tiffany Stratton and Candice LeRae, making sure it served a bigger purpose—pushing Stratton forward while still reinforcing Charlotte Flair’s dominance ahead of WrestleMania 41.

Stratton, who has been trying to prove herself as a dominant champion, needed this match to send a message. Wilson structured the entire bout to showcase her skills, but it didn’t exactly go as planned. A wardrobe malfunction forced WWE’s production team to cut to black in some regions, adding an unexpected hiccup to an already high-stakes moment. But even if that hadn’t happened, the segment was always designed to end one way: with Flair standing tall.

By the time the match wrapped up, Flair was pointing at the WrestleMania sign while Stratton lay on the mat—a visual Wilson crafted to keep the focus on The Queen’s iron grip over the division. Every move, every moment was planned to ensure Flair remained the biggest threat in the women’s division while still giving Stratton the rub she needed heading into the biggest match of her career.

But Wilson wasn’t the only one behind the scenes. Devyn Prieto was responsible for writing the segment, making sure that the match wasn’t just a random contest but another chapter in a bigger story. Prieto framed the moment as Stratton’s ongoing struggle to prove herself, keeping fans invested as WrestleMania 41 draws closer.

There was one unexpected change—Trish Stratus was originally listed to accompany Stratton. It’s unclear why WWE scrapped the plan, but Stratus’ involvement could have added another layer to the story, given her history with Flair. Whether WWE has other plans for her in this feud remains to be seen, but it’s clear that adjustments were made before the show aired.

With Wilson pulling the strings and Prieto ensuring the story hit the right beats, WWE executed a calculated move on SmackDown. Now, the question is whether Stratton can live up to the moment, or if she’s outmatched against a WrestleMania veteran like Flair.

Jey Uso’s YEET entrance fix in WWE 2K25 proved that 2K is listening to fans, but now another superstar is at the center of controversy—Tiffany Stratton.

After WWE 2K25 dropped Stratton’s entrance, fans immediately started talking—but not all of it was praise. While many were impressed by the detailed representation of her in-game character, there was a growing sense of frustration over how her entrance failed to match her current WWE persona.

The issue? Fans expected the same level of authenticity that led to Jey Uso’s updated crowd-walking YEET entrance, but instead, Stratton’s presentation feels off. While 2K hasn’t commented on potential changes, the reaction is already sparking discussions about whether the game is truly capturing WWE’s biggest stars the way fans expect.

This latest backlash adds to the ongoing conversation about WWE 2K25’s commitment to accuracy. If Jey Uso’s entrance could get a major update before release, will 2K make the same effort for Stratton?

Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins have been together for a long time now and they welcomed their beloved daughter Roux back in December 2020. Fans have wondered how she even came up with that name in the first place and now Big Time Becks has finally revealed that fact.

While speaking on the Getting Over podcast, Becky Lynch was asked how she came up with her daughter’s name. Becky Lynch revealed that a friend advised her to say a chosen name 100 times a day, as that’s how often she would end up saying it. Following this advice, she tested the name and found that she still liked it, which helped confirm her decision.

“One of my friends told me, ‘When you pick a name that you like, say it 100 times a day because that’s how many times you’re going to end up saying it.’ So I actually did, and I was like, ‘Oh yeah, I still like it!’”

Becky Lynch also previously addressed the possibility of her daughter taking on a similar procession as her parents. The Man made it clear she would not stand in Roux’s way at all if she wanted to put on pro wrestling boots for a living, as she said, “If she wants to. I want her to do whatever makes her happy, and it’s afforded us a great life.”

In the meantime, Becky Lynch also confirmed fresh copies of her autobiography will be releasing soon. Nevertheless, Becky Lynch is more than happy to spend time taking care of her daughter and embrace motherhood, as she wouldn’t have it any other way and fans truly respect her decision.

 

Isla Dawn was part of the WWE family for quite a long time but it all ended earlier this month after she confirmed the company had released her. While fans wonder what she will do next, Dawn has now hinted at changing up her character following her WWE departure.

Isla Dawn took to her Instagram and uploaded a video of herself, talking about how people often wait too long to share their true feelings. She said that many only express their emotions after someone is gone.

Dawn imagined people mourning her, calling her a champion and a star, saying she didn’t deserve what happened. While she agreed she didn’t deserve it, she admitted she needed it. Dawn described feeling like she was falling apart, overwhelmed by pressure, and close to breaking. But at that moment, something brought her back. Her heart had stopped, but she believed she was sent back because it wasn’t her time yet.

Dawn added that the White Witch was gone, and the Unholy Enchantress had been buried. The two-time tag team champion was now just ashes in an urn. Still, she made one thing clear—there was no reason to grieve. Isla Dawn was not dead yet, as she hinted at changing up her character after his WWE exit.

“One of the sad facts of life is that you won’t hear all the good things people have to say about you until you’re gone. Everyone bottles up their emotions, only to pour them out over your lifeless body—just a little too late.

‘Oh my God, I’m gonna miss her. Oh my God, she was a champion. She was a star. She did not deserve this.’

Did I deserve it? No. But I did need it. I was bleeding out. This was pressure. I was crashing. And this—this is what revived me. My heart stopped on the table, but someone down there sent me back up, knowing it was not quite my time.

The White Witch is gone. The Unholy Enchantress, buried in the grave. A two-time tag team champion—ashes in an urn. But don’t grieve for me. Isla Dawn is not dead yet.”

Dawn first gained attention in NXT UK, where she became a top talent in the women’s division. After NXT UK shut down in 2022, she moved to NXT and teamed up with Alba Fyre. Together, they won the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships and after getting called up to the main roster, they even won the Women’s Tag Team Titles before eventually dropping it.

With Isla Dawn’s 90-day non-compete clause in place, all eyes are on Isla Dawn to see where she lands next, and what this new version of her character will look like. After all, the sky is the limit for Isla Dawn.

 

WWE has General Managers for every brand at this point, and Adam Pearce has held down his position on the RAW brand for a while. That being said, not everyone is a fan of how he is doing.

Adam Pearce and Chelsea Green have an interesting relationship. She has given him trouble since the beginning with her Karen persona. Now as Women’s United States Champion, Green is an even bigger star on the red brand.

During a recent appearance, Chelsea Green was ripping packs of WWE trading cards, and she came across an Adam Pearce card. This didn’t make her very happy, as she decided to protest in her own way.

Chelsea Green took to ripping up the card. It wasn’t very easy, because the card had a protective layer due to Topps’ quality, but she still got the job done. Then she cut the card once again for good measure.

Adam Pearce recently upset Chelsea Green in a big way, but that’s no big secret. She’s also not on SmackDown GM Nick Aldis’ good side either, as he booked her in an anonymous match for the February 28 episode of SmackDown. We will have to see how that match in Toronto turns out for the Canadian.

Chelsea Green is certainly enjoying her spotlight in WWE, however she can. At this rate, it wouldn’t be a big surprise to see her cling onto that spot for a long time to come, because her character seems to get even more chances to expand on a weekly basis.

Many fans remember that Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair didn’t get along a few years ago, even having a heated confrontation on SmackDown in 2021. However, they have since patched things up, and Lynch has now revealed why she decided to reconcile with Flair.

While speaking on the Getting Over podcast, Becky Lynch was asked about her relationship with Charlotte Flair, which she wrote about in her book and why she reconciled with Flair in the first place.

The Man stated that at its core, there has always been love between them. She added that people often get hurt the most by those they care about. No matter what happened, if Charlotte ever needed something, Becky would have been there for her, and she believes Charlotte would say the same about her.

“Yeah, look, I think the undercurrent of all of it is love, right? You get more hurt by the people you love than by those you don’t care about or even dislike. But I think there’s always been a lot of love there. Even through the rough times, if she ever needed anything, I would have always been there, and I’m pretty sure she would say the same thing.”

Lynch also explained that holding onto bad feelings for too long can be exhausting. Life is too short for grudges, especially after experiencing the loss of so many people far too soon, like Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper. She also lost another close friend, which made her realize that petty differences aren’t worth the emotional weight they carry.

“At the same time, holding onto that hostility toward someone weighs on you, you know what I mean? And life is too short for that. We’ve seen the tragic passing of people far too young—like Bray Wyatt, like Luke Harper. I also lost another very close friend. When you experience those losses, as you grow and mature, you realize that petty differences aren’t worth the toxicity they leave inside you or the weight they carry.”

Becky Lynch also previously confirmed that her relationship with Charlotte Flair is still a cordial one after their past animosity. It’s unclear if Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair will ever be as close as they once were, but they have put their differences behind them, showing that respect and growth can mend old wounds.

First, it was Asuka dealing with online scammers. Now, Bianca Belair is calling out frauds pretending to be her parents in an attempt to scam fans.

On February 23, Belair took to Twitter to set the record straight after reports surfaced of fake accounts claiming to be her family.

“My parents do NOT have ANY social media accounts on ANY platform! If accounts are commenting, dming, or reaching out to you it is a FAKE account. Be safe out there!”

Belair’s warning comes just weeks after Asuka issued a similar statement, letting fans know that she only has four official social media accounts and would never directly contact anyone.

The growing number of fake accounts impersonating WWE stars and their families is becoming a serious issue. Asuka even called out hackers recently for constantly trying to access her profiles. Now, with Belair’s parents being used as bait, it’s clear that scammers are getting more aggressive.

If you come across an account claiming to be Bianca Belair’s family, Asuka, or any WWE Superstar reaching out for money or personal information—don’t fall for it.

My parents do NOT have ANY social media accounts on ANY platform!

If accounts are commenting, dming, or reaching out to you it is a FAKE account.
Be safe out there!

Becky Lynch has been part of the WWE family for over a decade at this point and has seen great success over the years. However, there is always a time limit to how long a wrestler can continue to perform in the ring, and now Lynch has addressed her future in professional wrestling.

While speaking on the Getting Over podcast, Becky Lynch was asked how much longer she sees herself wrestling full-time and once she steps away if she would close that chapter for good or return for short runs, similar to John Cena.

Lynch noted that wrestling has always been a significant part of her life, and she has a deep love and passion for it. It’s also the reason she has her family, making it even more important to her. However, she isn’t sure what her future in wrestling will look like.

Lynch reflected on how life has recently surprised her in unexpected ways. While people make plans, things don’t always go as intended, but sometimes they lead to even better opportunities. Looking back, she feels that has been the story of her entire career.

“I’m not trying to be vague or cagey in any way, but I feel like I have a great mind for wrestling, a great love for it, and it’s always going to be a part of me. It’s in my heart, it’s in my head, and it’s the reason I have my family. So, it’s incredibly important to me—I just don’t know what that looks like in the future.

Life has surprised me in wonderful ways recently. You can make all these plans, but sometimes things don’t go the way you intended. In the long run, though, something else works out—something even better than you expected. And honestly, I feel like that’s been the story of my entire career.”

Becky Lynch has not been seen on WWE television since the May 27th edition of Monday Night RAW, but that will likely be changing very soon as WWE has entered the Netflix era.

It is also to be noted that she has already signed a new WWE contract, so she will eventually be back on TV soon with a new storyline. With WrestleMania 41 approaching, fans will have to wait and see if she returns before then.

Do you think Becky Lynch should continue wrestling full-time, or would you like to see her take on a part-time role like John Cena?

Hailey Van Lith, the former standout player for LSU and Louisville, is now a member of Texas Christian University.

The point guard is getting as much attention this year as last year, and her celebrity status only increased with the release of a picture.

While at practice and rocking warmups, Van Lith had fans nationwide ready to attend her games, as one picture showed just how insanely curvy she is, even while rocking gear that is not designed to show much.

Hailey Van Lith could be seen smiling and running in the picture as teammates held basketballs behind her.

As far as we’re concerned, the TCU guard had her own basketball, but in a much different place.

 

Here is how social media reacted:

“Didn’t think she had all that”, a fan declared.

“Biggest TCU fan as of today,” one fan declared.

“Evolution happenin’ right before our eyes, folks 👀,” a second fan added.

“HVL is a cutie but for a pure bucket,” another X user stated.

“The white angel Reese,” another guy added.

One fan had fun with her name: “Hailey Van THICCCC.”

One final fan offered up his services: “They can DM me if they ever need to work on box-out drills.”

For the 2024-2025 season, Van Lith is averaging 18.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 6.4 assists a game.

This is a huge step from her averaging just 11.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists for the LSU Tigers last year.

Hailey Van Lith Has The TCU Horned Frogs Rolling

In its last game of 2024, before the calendar flips to the new year, 11th-ranked TCU Women’s Basketball closed out 2024, defeating the Brown Bears 79-47 on Sunday.

Once again, TCU was led by Hailey Van Lith, who filled the stat sheet with 17 points, five rebounds, five assists, and three steals.

TCU has won four games in a row since falling to No. 3 South Carolina on Dec. 8 at the Coast to Coast Challenge.

Hailey Van Lith has the team with a 13-1 record.

TCU will return to Big 12 play in Schollmaier Arena on New Year’s Day, when it will face the Colorado Buffaloes. This game will be broadcast on ESPN+.
