If there is a particular episode that one should watch to feel the hype for WrestleMania 35, then last night’s episode would certainly not be an ideal first choice. There was nothing particularly bad about the show, except for the fact that it progressed nonchalantly for the most part. It makes sense to keep your top stars on the sidelines five nights before the biggest wrestling event of the year, but even the segments weren’t particularly outstanding....

Last night’s show was very engaging from start to finish. A big reason behind it might be that the blue brand struck a perfect balance between wrestling and entertainment throughout the night. Roman Reigns and King Corbin’s shenanigans acted as a subplot for The Miz and Daniel Bryan’s quest to face “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt at next year’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view. On top of that, Otis and Mandy’s program remains one of the most entertaining angles on the show....

While the ratings touched a new low for the Christmas Eve episode of Raw, the last episode though saw a subtle growth, but was also under 2 million viewers. Given the low ratings, it is not an ideal start to this new revolution in WWE. And so creative would be under a lot of pressure to deliver on the upcoming episode of Raw. WWE has in fact announced a double main event involving Rollins versus Ambrose for the Intercontinental Championship, and John Cena featuring in a six-man tag team match with Elias and Finn Balor against Lashley, McIntyre, and Corbin....

Others have been known to literally tower above the rest and show great fits of strength. These wrestlers are renowned giants in the WWE. With a combination of height, size and strength, they have used it to obliterate opponents on many occasions. It has not been surprising to see squash matches when these guys are involved. #3 Braun Strowman He is billed at 6 ft 8 and weighs over 380 pounds....

On Monday’s Raw, we saw Stephanie McMahon make an announcement regarding the red brand’s Women’s Title match, which will close out Sunday’s show, with the announcement being that the Becky Lynch vs. Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair triple threat main event will be a “winner take all” match. By now, the WrestleMania card is pretty much set in stone, however, there could be a few changes that get made to the announced matches....

Debuting in 1987, the show originally featured only elimination matches, with the first singles match taking place in 1991, where a rookie Undertaker defeated Hulk Hogan to become WWF Champion. The show has seen a ton of shock moments, from the Montreal Screwjob in 1997, to the inaugural Elimination Chamber in 2002. The November pay per view has also had it’s fair share of memorable debuts, with The Rock, Kurt Angle and The Shield all having their first on-screen debuts as part of the show....

Reigns is an experiment by WWE for the past three years with little to no success. His face run has massively disappointed the WWE Universe. Finally, WWE decided to reunite the Shield, and this has led to positive reactions for the “Big Dog” for the first time in eternity. His Intercontinental championship reign has just begun and he has already hinted at an Open Challenge, similar to what his former rival John Cena did back in 2015....

The third player ever to play 50 Masters 1000 finals - the first two being Federer (2019 Miami) and Nadal (2019 Coupe Rogers) - Djokovic marked the occasion with his 34th Masters 1000 tile at 2019 Paris-Bercy. The Serb is now only one behind the all-time leader Nadal’s tally of 35. Djokovic emulated Federer by winning 15 Grand Slam titles in a decade when the Serb won 2019 Wimbledon. He overcame the Swiss maestro in the first ever Wimbledon match to feature a fifth set tiebreak, in the process winning his fifth title at the All-England Club....

#3 Wilfred Ndidi (Leicester City) The 22-year old Nigerian international was bought by Leicester to replace N’golo Kante in midfield. Wilfred Ndidi has been terrific in the Leicester shirt since his arrival back in January 2017 for a reported fee of £17 million from Genk. The dynamic midfielder is a strong tackler of the ball and has a great engine. If we compare Ndidi to the best defensive midfielders in the league- Fernandinho and Jorginho, Wilfred Ndidi beats both of them....

Here is a look at those three players. #1 Prithvi Shaw Prithvi Shaw impressed one and all with his attacking batting skills against the West Indies. He was not afraid to hit the ball in the air and was always busy looking for runs at every available opportunity. Shaw was quick between the wickets and an agile fielder, qualities best suited for white ball cricket. He showed a lot of intent to get on with the game without wasting much time settling down....

#1 - QB Sam Darnold, Carolina Panthers Sam Darnold was traded to the Carolina Panthers from the New York Jets this past offseason. The Panthers organization believes they are receiving a major upgrade at quarterback in the short term, as well as their franchise player for the future.

However, on the odd day, some of Jose Mourinho’s players have let him down greatly which has led to them crashing out of the UEFA Champions League and also getting knocked out of the Premier League title race. Let’s take a look at 3 players Jose Mourinho should not depend on next season. #3 Matteo Darmian This one is a no-brainer really. Darmian, who was mighty impressive for the Red Devils in the first few games in a red shirt, has faded drastically and is a shadow of his former self now....

In January they brought in Olivier Giroud for €17 million from arch-rivals Arsenal. But simultaneously they also let go of Michy Batshuayi on loan - first to Borussia Dortmund in January and then to Valencia in the summer. Tammy Abraham was also loaned out to Aston Villa at the end of the summer transfer window. Which means that apart from Morata and Giroud, 17-year-old Callum Hudson-Odoi is the only forward in Chelsea’s squad....

Under new manager Mikel Arteta, Arsenal have improved massively over the past week or so as they have now won two consecutive games against Manchester United and Leeds United respectively, something that they have been struggling to do for the entire season. It’s no secret that the London club need to improve their squad but it’s very difficult to get hold of quality players in January. Regarding possible outgoings, Arsenal have some young players and experienced ones who could be looking to leave the club in order to get more opportunities elsewhere....

Klaasen has a strike rate of 158 and can open the batting or slot in at number 4 and 5 and a very safe keeper and a prolific run scorer....

The reason for this could be pointed to Sanchez’s form and also lack of service from the Manchester United midfield. Anthony Martial’s recent form has meant that Sanchez has had to give up on his preferred position on the left flank which might have frustrated the former Barcelona player. Alexis Sanchez might have made a decision to leave United which would put a lot of European giants on alert. We have compiled a list of 3 teams where Sanchez’s move could benefit both the teams....

WWE Super Show-Down promises to be an epic saga. Given the plethora of high voltage, action-packed clashes, it may prove to be one of the best pay-per-views of 2018. If the encounter between Triple H and The Undertaker is nostalgic and exciting, then Mr. Hustle Loyalty and Respect, John Cena, partnering with Bobby Lashley in a tag team match is another amusing aspect of the show. Though the recent episode received mixed reviews from the fans, WWE may have spilled the beans regarding Super Show-Down....
