Seth Rollins reveals he hates WWE show

Seth Rollins recently revealed that he hates a WWE show. The Visionary claimed that WWE Unreal is ruining the magic of the pro wrestling business and doesn’t like the way it dissects the core elements behind the scenes. Ad Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch appeared on the Something’s Burning podcast by Bert Kreischer. Talking about WWE Unreal, The Man said that she likes the show and wishes something like it were available when she was a wrestling fan. Thanks for the submission! However, her husband said that while he agreed with the former seven-time Women’s Champion, he hated the show regardless. The Architect said that it’s no secret that the creative team plans everything in pro wrestling. Despite this, there is an element of doubt and uncertainty that keeps fans hooked, and WWE Unreal is killing that aspect of wrestling. Ad Trending “Yeah. But I hate it. Right. I do hate it. I don’t hate all of it. Yeah. I mean, look, there’s some parts of it that I think are fascinating and interesting, but I go like there’s some things that in our business, you know. Everybody knows what it is. Everybody knows that it’s predetermined and planned, but the gray area, that one little question, that maybe they really don’t like each other. Maybe there’s something there. That ‘what could happen’, that unpredictability that it creates. That’s the magic. That’s where the magic happens in our business. It’s just that little seed of doubt. And when you start to just chip away at that, it becomes a bit tricky.” [33: 55 34: 32] Ad Is Jon Moxley leaving AEW soon? Check details! Ad Rollins even said that he was uncomfortable even during the interview. He said that he likes things to stay mysterious about himself and about other performers, which allows intrigue to grow. Seth Rollins could be back before WrestleMania 42 Seth Rollins got his shoulder injured on October 11, 2025, in his pursuit to defeat Cody Rhodes and become the Men’s Crown Jewel Champion. On the same podcast, The Visionary gave a time frame for his comeback and indicated that he might return ahead of WrestleMania 42. Ad “Once I get this thing [cast] off, which is in like another month, then it might be full vacation mode for a little while before I lock in and have to start training to get ready to come back (.) It’ll probably be gradual. I don’t even really know (.) My guess is about 8-12 weeks of like, ‘Okay, now I have to stop eating like an a***ole.’ Probably 12 weeks. Plus, we’ll be moving right into WrestleMania season, so I’m hoping around February, after all the Holiday stuff, I can start to be like, ‘Okay, lock in, no more BS.’” [4: 24 5: 15] Ad Rollins was attacked by Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed on the RAW after WWE Crown Jewel. The duo kicked The Architect out of The Vision, a faction founded by Rollins, to write him off television. As a result, the 2025 Money in the Bank winner had to vacate the World Heavyweight Championship, which is currently held by CM Punk. It will be interesting to see if Seth Rollins is indeed able to return by February and if he will compete at WrestleMania 42.

“I’m the same guy under whom we won the Champions Trophy” – Gautam Gambhir’s huge statement after Team India’s loss in IND vs SA 2025 2nd Test

Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir reminded everyone that it was under his guidance that the country bagged major multi-nation events like the 2025 Champions Trophy and the 2025 Asia Cup, in the wake of the humiliating home series loss against South Africa. The former player is under pressure as the Men in Blue recorded their second home series loss in the space of a little over a year. Ad Team India were comprehensively outplayed by the visiting Proteas side in both Tests in Kolkata and Guwahati. The hosts’ fate was sealed as they slumped to a concerning 408-run loss to end the series on the worst note possible, and confirm the 0-2 scoreline. Rishabh Pant and co. were set a steep fourth innings target of 549 after the visitors declared midway through Day 4. India lost both openers before stumps on the penultimate day, and then crumbled without much resistance on the final day as well to be bowled out for just 140 in reply. Ad Trending When asked about his future as Team India head coach amid the concerning run of results, Gambhir issued a fiery response where he cited the Men in Blue’s triumphs earlier this year in his reign. “It is up to BCCI to decide. I have said it in my first press conference after I took over as the head coach that Indian cricket is important, I am not important. And I sit here, and say exactly the same thing. Yes, people can keep forgetting that I am the same guy who got results in England as well with a young team. And I am sure you guys will also forget very soon, because a lot of people keep talking about New Zealand. Ad The head coach urged the critics to give the inexperienced batters time to settle down as they are in a major transition phase following the departures of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, among others. “I don’t give excuses, I have never done that in the past, and I will never do it in the future as well, but if you see the top four-five batters in this top eight, have literally played less than 15 Test matches. They will grow, they are learning on the job. So, you have got to give them time as well. Hopefully, they keep learning, that is important,” Gambhir said. Ad “I hate using the word transition, but this is exactly what transition is. They need time to absorb pressure, they need time to play against quality attacks and against sides,” Gambhir added. Team India failed to cross the 250-run mark even once in the series. The batters had a tough time against the South African bowling unit, especially the pair of Marco Jansen and Simon Harmer as they picked up the bulk of the wickets. Ad “Just not acceptable” Gautam Gambhir on Team India’s first innings collapse in IND vs SA 2025 2nd Test The foundation of Team India’s scathing loss in the second Test was laid in the first innings itself. After conceding 489 in the first innings, the hosts were well placed at 95-1 at one stage. However, a three-wicket burst right before the session break left them at 102-4, and an early collapse into the second session worsened the score to 122-7. Ad It was almost a point of no return as India could only salvage a first innings total of 201. The Proteas opted against taking the follow on as they had a solid outing with the bat in the second innings as well, before their eventual declaration. “It lies with everyone in that dressing room. It starts with me, and with everyone else in that dressing room. We win together, we lose together,” Gautam Gambhir addressed the defeat. Ad “We need to apply better, at one stage, we were 95-1, and then to 122-7, which is just not acceptable. We keep talking about spin, but then one seamer got four wickets in that spell. We have had these collapses in the past as well. Someone needs to put their hands up and say that I am going to stop this collapse. That 30-minute spell took us away from the game, it was always pushing us back,” Gambhir said of the collapse. The series loss pushes India to the fifth spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) standings. The team have won four matches and lost four matches, with one drawn clash across their first three series in the 2025-27 cycle. × Feedback Why did you not like this content?

I have wet shaved for years and this is the nearest close shave from an electric shaver I have experienced. Also great value.” However, some users were slightly less impressed, with one noting: “Good shaver for travel. Still prefer the normal razor for day to day shaves.” Another commented: “For the price it’s great value. I only use it for tidying round the neck and ears. It’s not as good as a blade razor for shaving.”.

Ukraine’s Europe Allies Still Hold an Ace Card in US Showdown

Has the fate of Europe been decided in Miami? That was the fear this week, when European Commissioner Andrius Kubilius bemoaned “unacceptable” proposals hatched by US and Russia to end the war in Ukraine and the fact that Europe seemed unable to lead with its own. “I’m tired of always discussing American plans,” he told an event in Strasbourg hosted by French magazine L’Express. “It would be better if we elaborated ours.”

Fed Whisperer Timiraos Signals September Core PCE at ~0.22%, Inflation Likely to Ease From 2.9%

COINOTAG News reported on November 26 that Nick Timiraos, often described as the Fed Whisperer by market participants, posted on social media about upcoming inflation data. He suggests that September’s CPI and PPI releases could lift the core PCE by roughly 0. 22%, a level that would sit near the core CPI reading for the month. The note underscores how the September prints may shape near-term market expectations and the Federal Reserve’s policy signaling. Should the core PCE come in softer than this threshold, the year-over-year inflation pace may slip from 2. 9% toward 2. 8%, contingent on other price series aligning. Analysts say such an outcome would support a cautious inflation trajectory while preserving the credibility of the Fed‘s policy path, keeping traders focused on forthcoming data releases and policy guidance.
