It looks like Vince McMahon has changed his mind again on Shayna Baszler. Despite the fact that Paul Heyman is a big fan of her and would like to give her a monster push, McMahon nixed plans for her to win two big matches this year. As previously noted, she was originally scheduled to win the Women’s Royal Rumble match in January. Instead, Baszler was booked to get eliminated by the winner, Charlotte Flair.

I was told that Baszler will eventually move into th...

That would seem to indicate a potential rematch but Taker is keeping everything close to the vest. I was told that everyone on the writing staff is being kept in the dark on Taker’s in-ring status, spe...

Students in Nigerian universities have stories to tell, but hardly anyone to tell them to. For our new weekly series, Aluta and Chill, we are putting the spotlight on these students and their various campus experiences. As someone who spent about four years on a Nigerian campus, I know that it’s almost impossible to avoid stressful situations in a university. It’s almost like the institutions are set up to frustrate you over the bare minimum. For Aluta and Chill this week, I spoke to a couple of University of Nigeria students and got them to talk about a stressful experience they’ve had to deal with at the university. Emmanuel — Being the class rep almost cost him a year I had just gotten into the university and was so hyped about everything I was about to experience. When classes started, we held elections for the post of the class representative and I joined the race. I won, but it felt good only for a short time. The thing about being the class rep is that you be...
