Perhaps the main reason why this episode worked really well was that there were some clever booking choices and interesting scenarios playing out right in front of our own eyes. Even if I like SmackDown Live better with some comical undertones, the fact that there were almost no throwaway segments this week shows that WrestleMania season has kicked in full gear. Now that the Royal Rumble is well past us at this point in time, here are a few interesting observations you may have missed during this week’s edition of SmackDown Live....

If utilised properly, the entire landscape of the industry can be changed by creating some unpredictable storylines and including shock moments. The match card for this year has the potential to create an event complete with unpredictable outcomes. If WWE decides to play the cards right, we can see some huge changes and unforeseen happenings. With SummerSlam a few hours away, let us take a look at the ways the results could turn out....

Ben Crump, Floyd’s family attorney, called for charges to be filed against the remaining three men earlier in the day. During a press conference at a makeshift memorial erected at the site of Floyd’s death, Crump demanded justice and said they expect all the officers would be arrested before the memorial on Thursday. “We cannot have two justice systems in America–one for black America and one for white America,” Crump said....

Despite his early success in the NBA, Howard’s later career has been most noteworthy for its controversies both on and off the court. The 8-time All-Star has a habit of upsetting teammates and opposition players alike, so here we will look at some of the biggest clashes of Dwight Howard’s career so far. #3 Kevin Garnett Kevin Garnett was never on the same team as Dwight Howard, although the two didn’t get along for years....

Teams that can ace the league with Odell Beckham Jr. #1 - Green Bay Packers The Green Bay Packers are currently 7-1. And barring an astonishing collapse, they will definitely make it to the playoffs. That they have done so without having their top receiving corps in as many games is remarkable. Both Davante Adams and Allen Lazard missed the game against Arizona, and the Green Bay Packers have also had Marquez Valdes-Scantling out for the majority of the season....

As the NFL has kicked off the 2020 season with COVID-19 safety precautions in place—from the sidelines to the stands—there have been warnings to those who do not abide by the guidelines. Now as the second week of the regular season comes to a conclusion, fines have been handed down to teams and coaches for not wearing protective masks. “NFL fined three head coaches - - Denver’s Vic Fangio, Seattle’s Pete Carroll and SF’s Kyle Shanahan - $100,000 each for not wearing masks Sunday, and each of their teams another $250,000, sources told ESPN,” according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter....

South Africa then came to India for a three-Test series, and were whitewashed by the Indian team.

For those that aren’t aware, 3 Out of 10 is Terrible Posture Games’ latest project, and provides both fun and laughter with its overtly satirical world and characters. The game is found on the Epic Games Store and described as an episodic playable sitcom, and sees the player taking control of a group of overworked and underappreciated game developers at work.

The performances of a number of players in the squad have been underwhelming and Manchester United’s squad does need an overhaul in this transfer window. One of the major reasons for the club’s disappointing show this season has been the lack of consistent performances from the experienced campaigners in the squad. The likes of Ashley Young, Nemanja Matic, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, and even David De Gea have struggled to do well for the club this season....

But perhaps the most surprising of all was the final 3 shortlist of the FIFA’s Best Player. Out of the final 10 shortlist, which contained the names Varane, Kane, De Bruyne, Ronaldo, Griezmann, Salah, Modric, Messi, Mbappe and Hazard, the final three stood – Salah, Modric, Ronaldo. The decision was hardly popular and has surprised football fans all over the world who feel that the final list is not well deserved....

The problems were more or less the same - questionable team selections, batsmen failing to match up to the performance of their bowlers and failure to capitalize on situations where they had the upper hand in a match. Head coach Ravi Shastri, before the last match, was of the opinion that this side is the best Indian side in overseas conditions in the last 15-20 years. “Nothing to take away (from England), the endeavour of this team is to travel well, compete and win....

Every manager’s dream is to sit in the home team’s dugout at Old Trafford. The Norwegian might have pinched himself few times when he got the appointment as the interim manager replacing Jose Mourinho till the end of the season. Ed Woodward wanted to bring the feel-good factor back at the Theatre of Dreams and no one would have been more suited for that role than Solskjaer. Since he took over, United thumped both Cardiff City and Huddersfield, putting in some convincing performances which were not the case in the previous games....

During the recent defeat to West Ham United, he was not even included in the substitutes list. If reports are to be believed, Mourinho reprimanded the forward in front of his team-mates before the Hammers match as he had been questioning Mourinho’s tactics since long. Paul Pogba and Alexis Sanchez were the signings that were to take United back to the glorious era of Sir Alex Ferguson by winning some trophies but it looks highly unlikely that both would be present at Old Trafford come next season....

As we know now, WWE had an entirely different storyline planned for ‘The Beast’ at Royal Rumble. Citing a lack of worthy competitors in the RAW roster, Paul Heyman announced that instead of defending his title, Brock would instead be taking part in the men’s Rumble match, entering from number 1 position. Though WWE superstars announcing their entry into the Royal Rumble match number is quite common, the top champion of the company has not entered the match since the stipulation of winning a championship match at WrestleMania was instituted (except when Roman Reigns had to defend his title in 2016, but that’s a different scenario altogether)....

From being labeled as a ‘flat-track bully’ to being dropped down by his much controversial boss Jose Mourinho, it looks like his frustration is a combination of both his performance and his relationship with his boss. As reported, the Belgian could now be on his way out of the Old Trafford. The fact that he is a striker with good capability is something that we cannot deny, and he can surely improve his situation by scoring the required goals up in the upcoming matches....

Entering his 12th season, Joe Haden has never been on the free-agent market. He was drafted 7th overall in 2010 by the Cleveland Browns, signed a five-year extension in 2014, and was released ahead of the 2017 season. He was then picked up by Pittsburgh hours later on waivers, signed a three-year deal and signed a two-year extension in 2019. Both Joe Haden and his agent Drew Rosenhaus are excited for the journey ahead of the CB in 2022 and he feels healthy and strong despite his age....

Manchester United and Real Madrid have been involved in a number of transactions before and every transfer window has rumours involving these two clubs. On that note, we have compiled a list of three swaps which Florentina Perez and Ed Woodward must consider which would help both clubs.

TJ Perkins had his first match at the tender age of thirteen years old. He looked so young that promoters insisted he wear a mask to hide his true age, and his first gimmick, Pinoy Boy, was born. After wrestling in the California and Mexican promotions, he expanded to the New Japan Pro Wrestling company, where he rubbed shoulders with such cruiserweight legends as Rocky Romero and WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan....

A major solution to Manchester United’s current problems would be a clear-out in the summer and bringing in new players to allow a new lease on life at Old Trafford. However, with the absence of Champions League football, it is difficult to attract players. Also, United has invested a lot in the previous transfer windows and in most cases, the expensive players have failed to come good at the club....

Heyman’s botch was one that was supposed to lead to Rollins beating Lesnar down before he was able to cash in his contract but there were a number of other botches that were part of the show that were not planned but were just as hilarious. The 50-man Battle Royal also had far fewer botches than last year’s Royal Rumble, which means that there were only a few noticeable ones on the show as a whole....
