    Austin Swift Welcomes First Child with Girlfriend as Andrea Swift Sheds Tears of Joy Holding Her First Grandchild

    The Swift family has a brand-new reason to celebrate! Austin Swift, the younger brother of global pop icon Taylor Swift, has joyfully welcomed his first child with his longtime girlfriend.

     

    The exciting news has sent waves of happiness through the Swift family, with their mother, Andrea Swift, shedding tears of joy as she held her first grandchild for the very first time.

    A Heartwarming Family Moment

    Sources close to the family reveal that Austin, 32, and his girlfriend have been eagerly anticipating this moment, and the arrival of their little one has brought pure joy to their lives. Taylor, who has always shared a close bond with her younger brother, is said to be over the moon about becoming an aunt.

    But it was their mother, Andrea, who was reportedly the most emotional. “She couldn’t stop crying happy tears,” a family friend shared. “Holding her grandchild for the first time was an incredibly special moment for her.”

    Taylor Swift Beaming with Excitement

    Taylor, despite her busy schedule, made sure to be there to celebrate her brother’s milestone. Fans have speculated that some of her recent songs about love and family could have been inspired by Austin’s journey into fatherhood. The Eras Tour singer is said to have spent time with the baby, offering her signature warmth and affection.

    “Aunt Taylor has a nice ring to it,” one fan joked online, while another added, “This baby is already part of music royalty!”

    A Private Yet Joyful Celebration

    While the Swift family has kept much of the pregnancy private, those close to them say they are embracing this new chapter with gratitude and love. Austin, known for his work in film and production, has always been a protective and supportive figure in Taylor’s life, and now he steps into a brand-new role—fatherhood.

    Fans of the Swift family have flooded social media with congratulations, celebrating the family’s latest addition. Though details about the baby’s name and gender remain private, one thing is clear—this little one is surrounded by love, music, and the strong bond of the Swift family.

    OMG!! Brittany Mahomes Finds Her ‘Happy’ Place Sunbathing in Pink Top Amid Super Bowl 59 Disappointment

    After a whirlwind Super Bowl 59 that didn’t go the Kansas City Chiefs’ way, Brittany Mahomes is taking a well-deserved moment to unwind. The wife of superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes recently shared a glimpse of her “happy” place—soaking up the sun in a chic pink top, reminding fans that self-care is key even after a tough loss.

    Brittany, known for her outspoken support of Patrick and the Chiefs, has been in the spotlight throughout the team’s rollercoaster season. From celebrating wins to defending her husband against critics, she’s been a vocal presence both in the stands and on social media. But after the heartbreak of missing out on another championship, it looks like she’s pressing pause to recharge.

    In a post that quickly caught fans’ attention, Brittany shared a serene snap of herself lounging outdoors, basking in the sunlight. “Finding my happy place,” she captioned the shot, paired with a heart emoji. Fans flooded the comments with supportive messages, with many applauding her ability to stay positive despite the disappointment.

    The Mahomes family has been through a chaotic few weeks, balancing the pressures of another deep playoff run with the demands of their personal lives. Brittany has also been making waves off the field, recently debuting as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit rookie and continuing her advocacy for women in sports.

    While Patrick and the Chiefs are likely already shifting their focus to next season, Brittany’s sunny moment is a reminder that sometimes, a little sunshine and a stylish pink top are all you need to reset.

  • OMG! Chiefs Heiress Gracie Hunt, makes surprising revelation about SECRET BF, Patrick Mahomes, Leaving His Wife In SH0CK

    OMG! Chiefs Heiress Gracie Hunt, makes surprising revelation about SECRET BF, Patrick Mahomes, Leaving His Wife In SH0CK

     

    OMG! Chiefs Heiress Gracie Hunt Makes Shocking Revelation About Secret Boyfriend—Leaving Patrick Mahomes’ Wife in Shock!

    Kansas City is buzzing after Gracie Hunt, the glamorous heiress of the Kansas City Chiefs, made a jaw-dropping revelation about her secret boyfriend—and the news has reportedly left Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, stunned.

    Gracie Hunt’s Shocking Confession

    Gracie, the daughter of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, has long been in the spotlight for her philanthropy, fashion sense, and deep connection to the Chiefs franchise. But in a recent interview, she dropped a bombshell about her love life, hinting at a mystery man who has been by her side in secret.

    “I’ve been keeping this part of my life private, but I think it’s time to share that I’m incredibly happy,” she teased, before adding, “It’s someone special, and we’ve been enjoying our time together away from the public eye.”

    The revelation immediately sent social media into a frenzy, with fans scrambling to uncover the identity of Gracie’s mystery man.

    Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Caught Off Guard?

    The biggest shock of all, however, came when rumors swirled that the news took Brittany Mahomes by surprise. Sources close to the Mahomes family claim that Brittany, who has always been fiercely protective of her marriage, was caught off guard by the speculation surrounding Gracie’s revelation.

    “Brittany wasn’t expecting this,” an insider revealed. “She’s very aware of the media attention around Patrick and their marriage, and when people started linking Gracie’s revelation to him, it definitely raised some eyebrows.”

    What’s Really Going On?

    While some wild theories have circulated online, there is no confirmed connection between Gracie’s secret boyfriend and Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs quarterback remains happily married to Brittany, and the two continue to share their life with their young children.

    As for Gracie, she has yet to confirm the identity of her boyfriend, but insiders suggest he is not directly linked to the Chiefs organization. “He’s successful in his own right, and they’ve been keeping things under wraps for a reason,” a source shared.

    Fans React to the Drama

    Social media exploded with reactions, with some fans fueling the rumors and others calling for calm.

    “OMG, if it’s Patrick, Kansas City is about to lose its mind,” one user tweeted.

    “Brittany better hold onto her man!” another joked.

    “People need to relax—Gracie can date whoever she wants, and Patrick is happily married,” a more level-headed fan wrote.

    The Truth Will Come Out Soon

    With speculation running wild, one thing is certain—Gracie Hunt’s secret boyfriend won’t stay a secret for long. Whether it’s a high-profile figure or someone completely unexpected, Chiefs Kingdom is on the edge of their seats waiting for the next big reveal.

    For now, Patrick and Brittany Mahomes remain solid, while Gracie’s mystery romance remains just that—a mystery.

    One of Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriends has spoken out about him and his relationship with Taylor Swift.

    One of Travis Kelce’s exes from the 2016 dating show ‘Catching Kelce’ is dishing out her opinion of the Chiefs tight end and his love with pop star Taylor Swift.

    Avery Schlereth, who is the daughter of a former Broncos guard, told In Touch that she has fond memories of her brief time with Travis and it included kissing him.

    “He’s a goofball,” she gushes. “He’s sweet. He’s very attentive and he was a good kisser.”

    She also confirmed that Kelce and Swift work well together.

    “They’re a good match,” Schlereth said.

     

    Schlereth was one of the final four women on “Catching Kelce,” but it would be Maya Benberry who would come out as the winner.

    Last September, Benberry “liked” a comment on Instagram, slamming Taylor Swift for being a “5” when it came to her looks.

    The three-time Super Bowl champ first threw out that he was interested in the 12-time Grammy winner in July when he admitted to trying to give her his phone number at her Eras Tour concert in Kansas City, Mo., but unfortunately wasn’t able to complete the mission.

    Luckily, they were somehow able to make contact and she would show up to one of the next 13 NFL games to support him.

    Everyone Is Falling In Love With Grand Theft Auto VI’s New Female Character Who Looks Stunningly Real

    Lucia from Grand Theft Auto 6GTA Lucia (Photo via Twitter)
    Social media might be down incredibly bad as Lucia from Grand Theft Auto is going insanely viral.

    GTA 6’s trailer 2 officially broke a record after the upcoming second look at the game, which has continued to take forever to come out.

    GTA 6 broke the record for the longest wait between a first and second trailer for a Rockstar Games title ever.

    Rockstar has built a rich world of criminals, lunatics, and thieves spanning from Liberty City to San Andreas and beyond. With GTA 6 on the horizon, fans have become ecstatic after seeing a picture of Lucia.

    For those unaware, she is a female criminal in the game. Grand Theft Auto states that she did her time at a prison complex in the State of Leonida in the mid-2020s for an unknown crime.

    As anticipation builds for the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, a picture shows Lucia stripped down to a two-piece bikini.

    Here is how fans reacted to Lucia’s apparent new look in Grand Theft Auto:

    “Everything is woke if you’ve never seen a woman’s body irl,” one fan said.

    “They better have some awesome clothing to choose from. Gotta look cute while doing missions,” a second fan added.

    A third fan knew they were no match for her: “If I was in a beauty contest against her, she’d get first place, and I’d get disqualified.”

    “She’s beautiful, my sapphic heart can’t take it 🤧,” another X user added.


    “not leaving my house anytime soon,” a fan stated about the impending release of the game.

    “No arsenal, but ima be a gooner for sure, a sixth fan added.


    One final fan added: “Anybody upset about a video game character needs to seriously reevaluate their life.”

    Fans Have Waited A Long Time For Grand Theft Auto To Release New Game

    After more than a decade of waiting, Grand Theft Auto VI is supposedly finally set to come out in 2025.

    Despite their hopes for a release this year fading, the community remains engaged in hopes that a second trailer will be released in early 2025 and a release date of the actual game will come out.

    With each passing day, the desire for more news grows stronger.

    Hopefully, 2025 will give the fans what they so desperately want.

     

  • From Mandy Rose to Zelina Vega, Here Are 5 Past and Current WWE Superstars With 0nlyFans Accounts

    From Mandy Rose to Zelina Vega, Here Are 5 Past and Current WWE Superstars With 0nlyFans Accounts

    In April 2022, WWE lifted the ban that was imposed on their wrestlers from earning money using third-party platforms such as Twitch and Cameo. Prior to that, the stars had to hand over ownership of their accounts. The wrestlers would receive only a portion of the income generated from the platforms. But after the lifting of the ban, all the income the superstars earned through the platform became entirely theirs to keep.

    Now, with little to no restrictions set in place, wrestlers have taken to streaming and other non-WWE appearances as a secondary source of income. While most stick to just streaming, some have also veered towards posting adult content. So here are some of the top WWE wrestlers who turned to OnlyFans as an extra source of income.

    1. Zelina Vega

    Zelina Vega launched her OnlyFans in October 2020. She went by the name “Megan Minx” on the platform. Her monthly subscription cost was $30. For that amount, fans could interact directly with her. It also featured exclusive videos and photos of her in cosplays, lingerie, and swimsuits.

    She strictly mentioned in her bio that no nude pictures would be given out. Sadly, within a few weeks of starting her OnlyFans, Vega was fired from the WWE as this was in direct breach of the old company policy that banned performers from making money off third-party online platforms. She was the first WWE performer to be fired for going against the company’s policy. She later joined the WWE in July 2021 and has been with the company ever since.

    Vega was also one of the many wrestlers who were staunchly against WWE’s old policy of preventing their wrestlers from using third-party apps. Especially since Vega was also using Twitch to stream to her fans.

    2. Mandy Rose

    Mandy Rose was with the WWE when her adult photos from her FanTime page got leaked online. WWE then went on to release Rose on December 14, 2022. This was just a day after she lost her NXT Women’s Championship.

    At the time of the release, Rose said she was “hurt” by the company’s decision. Post that, Rose went on to make her OnlyFans page. Her ID on OnlyFans is @mandy_rosefree and her bio reads, “Hi my name is Mandy. This is my free page and I post here daily. I am a cam girl on mfc and cb daily and content creator. I am a very friendly, fun, and caring person. Hope you enjoy.😉❤”.

    Since her release, she has been making more money off OnlyFans than she actually did as a WWE wrestler. She even said that she is happier personally and mentally and gets more time to spend with her family. While the reason behind Rose’s firing wasn’t clear, a major part of the decision is rumored to have been based on the content that she had posted on her FanTime page. This isn’t too surprising, especially as WWE has moved towards a more PG audience over time.

    3. Chelsea Green

    Chelsea Green made her main roster debut on SmackDown in November 2020. But right in her first match, she ended up breaking her wrist, the second time she had done so at the promotion. This put her out of action for months. Then finally, in April 2021, WWE released Green from her contract due to budget cuts.

    As a result, Green decided to open an OnlyFans account while competing as part of Ring of Honor (ROH). Back then, she was more focused on her adult content.

    Later in 2023, she was offered another contract to rejoin the WWE. But the only condition was that she had to give up her OnlyFans account. Ever since, her OnlyFans account is not active anymore. But the content still remains uploaded, and she charges five dollars per month. Meanwhile, Green is slowly making a name for herself during her second stint at the promotion. So far, she is one-half of the current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion, alongside Scottish wrestler Piper Niven.

    4. Scarlett Bordeaux

    Scarlett Bordeaux joined the WWE in 2019 but was released in November 2021 as part of the COVID-19 budget cuts. After that, she started her OnlyFans account and was quite successful. So much so that Bordeaux was in the top 0.04% of content creators on OnlyFans.

    She charged a monthly subscription fee of $20 a month to access her exclusive photo and video content. Bordeaux also charged $100 for a ‘kiss card’, a card she personally kissed and signed. She was later signed back to the WWE in August 2022 and as a result had to shut down her account due to company policy.

    Currently, the blonde bombshell can often be seen alongside her real-life boyfriend and fellow wrestler Karrion Kross. In fact, her return to WWE in August saw her attack Drew McIntyre alongside Kross on an episode of SmackDown.

    5. Toni Storm

    Storm joined the WWE in 2017 as part of the NXT brand. She even won the NXT UK Women’s Championship during her stint with the promotion. She made her SmackDown debut in July 2021. But in December of the same year, she asked for her release from the Stamford-based promotion as she “didn’t feel that appreciated”. 

    Post that, she started her OnlyFans account in March, which remains active till today. Her handle on the site is @realtonistorm. She charges $19 as the monthly subscription fee for her content. So far, Storm has been fairly successful on the platform, where she revealed that she made $33,000 on the first weekend of her joining OnlyFans.

    However, continuing her wrestling career, Storm joined AEW in March 2022 and is still with Tony Khan’s brand under the ring name “Timeless” Toni Storm. She also made her debut at New Japan Pro-Wrestling in May this year.

    From Mandy Rose to Toni Storm to Zelina Vega, it seems the stars have found different ways to suit their needs. While Rose decided to quit wrestling altogether in favor of spending more time with her family, others sacrificed a potential career on the platform to pursue wrestling. However, while most had a rocky start, it seems that for now, all of them seem content with their decisions.

    What do you think about the different paths the women wrestlers took to get to where they are now?

  • Called Out for Too Much Plastic Surgery, Charlotte Flair Issues Classy Response to Insensitive Troll

    Called Out for Too Much Plastic Surgery, Charlotte Flair Issues Classy Response to Insensitive Troll

    Almost all WWE superstars enjoy adulation from their fans, be it in person or on social media. However, they also get their fair share of criticism from detractors, who at times remind the talents of their misdemeanors. But there are times when a fan crosses the proverbial line of decency.

    As stated, a person recently made a rather harsh comment about Charlotte Flair. Unwilling to let the comment slip by, the 14-time world champion shot back at the troll with a classy reply.

    ‘Kind’ Charlotte Flair wishes fan well after an underwhelming comment on her body

    It is no secret that Flair, 37, has been under the knife. She herself has been open about getting breast augmentation surgery at the age of 20. The former SmackDown Women’s Champion shared a photo on Instagram, standing knee-deep in water. The Queen captioned the post as: “Darling, You look so good in sunrise.” According to the post, the photo was snapped in Miami, Florida.

    While it attracted over 74,000 likes and hundreds of comments, one comment caught her eye. A user decided to target Flair for her past surgeries and commented: “Wonder she doesn’t melt in the sun the amount of plastic surgery she’s had.”

    Replying to the user, The Nature Girl appeared ‘kind’, stating, “@niallceltic10 I’ll pray for you amigo 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.” One would hope that the user will be able to identify their transgression and stick to being polite from next time onwards.

    However, this wasn’t the first such instance for Flair. She has previously opened up about getting slammed for her appearance.

    Charlotte Flair once spoke about battling body dysmorphia and fighting negativity

    The 37-year-old might have been one of the most dominant athletes in the WWE women’s division, overcoming stiff challenges from her peers, but Charlotte Flair has had to battle tougher opponents outside the squared circle.

    As per one of the episodes of A&E show Biography: WWE Legends, Flair battled with herself as she suffered from body dysmorphia. It is a form of mental illness that forces one to constantly find flaws in one’s physical appearance. This was also the reason that she decided to have a bigger chest at the age of 20.

    However, it proved to be futile as Flair kept on receiving hate online. “Online, I’ve gotten so much criticism over the years Charlotte’s built like a man, Charlotte looks like an iPhone, she has no a** like constant every day,” she said.

    Apart from their physical appearance, fans have also questioned her privilege in the WWE, which was also contested by her earlier. While it’s not bad to engage in the occasional banter and rectify mistakes, fans must also realize that these pro wrestlers are also human beings. Therefore, comments shouldn’t be bereft of decency.

  • Jade Cargill Allegedly Finds Trouble at WWE Show After Wearing Wrong Sports Team’s Shirt

    Jade Cargill Allegedly Finds Trouble at WWE Show After Wearing Wrong Sports Team’s Shirt

    Jade Cargill had a marquee start in her WWE journey last year in September when she penned a deal with the Stamford-based company with a fuller heart. However, the real ride started with WWE Royal Rumble 2024 when Cargill stormed through the ring as a surprise entrant and delivered a stunning performance. The company identified the immense potential in her and immediately offered a huge push. The Big Money Jade rose to the rank of the Women’s Tag Team Champion alongside Bianca Belair.

    Although the run was short-lived as they eventually dropped it to Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn, the duo is eyeing to regain the honor at the upcoming German PLE. They even proceeded a step ahead in that path, scoring a smooth victory against Indi Hartwell and Candice LeRae. The build-up event of the WWE Bash in Berlin proved to be all smooth selling for Cargill except for her choice of gear, which resulted in random booing.

    Jade Cargill irate the crowd with her stupid in-ring gear at the WWE live event

    In WWE, the attire of the superstars plays a huge role in setting the tone of the entire match-up. Recently Miz’s bizarre American flag suit outfit sparked huge discussion among IWC during AEW All-In. Tonight at Oberhausen, Cargill became the cynosure because of what she chose to wear. But the only difference is she only received backlash, unlike the AEW star who wanted to stir the national sentiment by chiseling out inspiration from the Rocky IV movie.

    Cargill, 32, instead, wanted to receive some extra pop by wearing a Dortmund team jersey without knowing the fact that the team had anti-reputation in the Ruhr area, so booing was inevitable. A fan brought this to notice on X questioning her idiocy. “Jade Cargill wore a Dortmund Jersey for her match in Oberhausen today to get cheap babyface pops The problem is that Dortmund is hated in Oberhausen and everyone boo’d her. Who told her wearing a Dortmund Jersey in the Ruhr area that is smart???” wrote the user.

    However, surpassing the flakes of negativity, Cargill issued a generous message and asked them to be a bit patient as the best is yet to come.

    Jade Cargill asked fans to keep believing in her 

    The journey of Jade Cargill in WWE has been no less than a whirlwind of emotion. The former champion noted she was not nervous about performing in front of the WWE audience for the very first time, but it was an unfamiliar emotion altogether to face such a great magnitude of people at a time. She also extended thanks to her locker room mates for constantly lifting her spirit before stepping up to the ring and also gave a huge shout-out to Nick Khan and Triple H for allowing her to find her footing in the business.

    However, when it comes to the real backbone of the superstars, the fans, Cargill asked them to keep holding their faith in her like they do, as she and Belair are constantly trying to rack the title back on their shoulders. So they need more patience and focus from the fans in the division to deliver their best. It will be interesting to see how Cargill will do on her tag team ride, despite not being accustomed to the genre.

  • It sounds like many women in WWE Furious with Triple H’s unequal booking

    It sounds like many women in WWE Furious with Triple H’s unequal booking

    On the latest episode of Fightful’s The Hump, Sean Ross Sapp said he’s heard from many women in WWE who are frustrated with the current booking of their division. This includes rejecting creative ideas for WrestleMania.

    “Yes, I have spoken with plenty of women in WWE who are frustrated about the booking of the women. This is not a new thing. It’s nowhere near Royal Rumble 2022 level…Royal Rumble 2022 was so bad that I developed sources because of how bad it was booked. This is nowhere near that.

    But, there has been a situation where a women’s WWE performer has reached out to me and said, ‘Dude, can you find out if I’m listed internally as a heel or a babyface?’ And I’m like, ‘Damn, okay.’

    I know there have been some [WrestleMania] pitches that have been rejected because people are like, token tag matches aren’t something that they want to do.


    AD

    They want things put on a more even plane in the women’s division. They want, okay well, the contracts are going up, the viewership is adjusted accordingly for when women are on screen. It’s not the side show or anything like that. It a part of the show. You’re adding more titles, add more matches, all that stuff.”

    “…There’s not that element of where, a lot of the men not only have one thing going on, they got a lot of different things going on. And that’s just not the way that it’s been for the women. And I don’t know if that’s a Triple H thing or what.”

    WWE’s booking of its women’s division was under scrutiny last week when new women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria and United States Champion Chelsea Green both lost clean in Elimination Chamber qualifying matches. That’s the kind of bad booking that tells the entire division this new shiny cool thing they have doesn’t really matter all that much.

    I don’t expect there will be any big names walking out of WWE like in 2022 when Vince McMahon was ruining things. However, the current unequal booking between the men and women’s division does stand out, particularly when compared to the way things are done in NXT.

    Is there enough mounting frustration backstage for Triple H’s team to change its approach, or will these concerns be dismissed as much ado about nothing? WWE business is booming these days, so my best guess is the higher ups don’t think this is an important problem that requires a better solution.

    Do you agree that WWE needs to create a more even playing field between the men and women’s divisions? Let me know in the comments below, Cagesiders.

    Sonya Deville was shocked by WWE’s decision to not renew her contract (VIDEO)

    Sonya Deville on her WWE release: “We were in the middle of negotiations” (video) - Gerweck.net

    Sonya was in the middle of negotiating a new deal with WWE when she got the bad news.

     

    WWE’s latest round of roster cuts took place earlier this month. That’s when we found out that WWE wasn’t renewing Sonya Deville’s contract.

    Deville (real name Daria Berenato) uploaded a video to her YouTube channel today where she discussed the situation with her wife Toni.

    Deville said she was actually in the middle of negotiating a new deal with WWE when they called her with the bad news, so she was shocked by the phone call. However, she was quickly at peace with the decision and is already looking forward to her next adventure.

    Sonya reiterates that she has nothing bad to say about her 10 years in WWE and loved everyone that she worked with. She can’t explain why WWE decided not to renew her contract, but she’s looking at it like you can’t fight fate, and that chapter of her life was meant to close. She’s already auditioning for her next projects.

  • Report: WWE reworking SmackDown plans due to The Rock’s return

    Report: WWE reworking SmackDown plans due to The Rock’s return

    A women’s match seems to have been cut since Dwayne Johnson was announced, and we have a rumor about what Rock will do on the Feb. 21 show in New Orleans.

    WWE.com

    Sean Rueter has been thinking too much about pro wrestling since at least WrestleMania I, and blogging about it for SBNation & Cageside Seats since around WrestleMania 28.

    Even if his announcement has nothing to do with wrestling at WrestleMania 41, it seems like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s return to WWE television tonight (Feb. 21) on SmackDown may keep the pro wrestling rumor mill busy until April’s event is Las Vegas.

    We’re already getting several reports about The Rock’s appearance, which Wrestling Observer Newsletter’s Dave Meltzer says “was a last-minute add” to tonight’s show. Meltzer is one of many speculating that the fact SmackDown is in New Orleans could mean Johnson will make the rumored announcement that next year’s ‘Mania will return to the Big Easy.

    X/Twitter scoopster WrestleVotes indicated that’s what they’re hearing as well:

    Votes would later post that two matches previously announced for this week’s show are now off the card for tonight:

    Tonight’s SmackDown plans have been reworked following the announcement of The Rock’s appearance. Rumblings that both Naomi vs. Liv Morgan and the six-man tag featuring Cody, Priest & Strowman vs. Solo, Jacob & Tama Tonga are off. Drew McIntyre vs Jimmy Uso is still scheduled to take place.

    The trios match featuring Cody Rhodes, Damian Priest, Braun Strowman, Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu & Tama Tonga that Votes mentions is still listed on WWE.com as of publication time, along with the McIntyre/Uso clash and the Tag title tilt between #DIY and Pretty Deadly. The women’s match is nowhere to be found, and SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis’ announcement of Morgan vs. Naomi and the six-man, and an Instagram post promoting the women’s bout, have been deleted.

    If WWE does end up removing those two matches, (a) it might indicate Rock will be doing more than just revealing the WrestleMania 42 news — like setting up a possible WrestleMania 41 match for himself, and (b) it’s already kicked the debate about Triple H’s booking of the main roster women’s scene into a higher gear. Even before yesterday’s report about unhappiness in the locker room, some fans were asking why the ladies don’t get more of the approximately five-and-a-half hours of main roster TV time each week; bumping Liv and Naomi for an open-ended Rock segment will only draw more, and result in existing ones being asked louder.

    We’ll see what ends up making, and being said, on the show in a few hours.
