Sasha Banks hasn’t been seen on WWE programming since she and Naomi walked out on the May 16 episode of Monday Night Raw. “The Boss” has been training in a variety of locations over the past month (including with WCW legend Juventud Guerrera) but hasn’t given an indication about when she’ll be back on TV. There were reports earlier this year that she may (or may not) have been granted her release, but WWE has never confirmed that nor have they removed her from the WWE....

One of Xbox Game Pass’ newest games is also one of its most popular to date.

I know we’ve been focusing quite a bit on food lately, but once you open the delicious floodgates it’s hard to resist. Often overlooked due to its upper-right location and the overall perception of being all moose and plaid shirts, Maine has one of the best food scenes in the entire country.

We’re officially a month away from the debut of Black Adam, a film that is expected to be a new turning point in the superhero movie landscape. In the decade since the film was first put into development and Dwayne Johnson was first cast in the titular role, the live-action DC universe has ebbed and flowed several times over — something that the film’s latest television spot played off of. The spot, which was first released earlier today, opens with footage of some of the heroes and villains that Black Adam predates, and it looks like one controversial aspect of that has now been changed....

Some PlayStation Plus subscribers on PS4 and PS5 have just been dealt a significant downgrade. PS Plus is split into three tiers. The bottom tier is PS Plus Essential. This version is nothing more than what PS Plus has been for years, which is – for the most part –multiplayer access and a few “free” games every month. For December 2022, PS Plus subscribers were once again handed a trio of games to play, including Mass Effect Legendary Edition, which is actually Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3 all in one remastered package....

We’re all familiar with mug shots now, but in the late 19th and early 20th century they were a brand new tool to help identify criminals. The Nebraska State Penitentiary began taking mug shots of everyone arrested beginning in 1867, the same year Nebraska gained statehood. These vintage mug shots, exhibited by the Nebraska State Historical Society, and the fascinating stories that accompany them give a little glimpse into life more than 100 years ago....

These crossovers seemingly exist everywhere but WWE, as the global wrestling powerhouse only featured its exclusively-contracted talent on its programming....
