The modern world of sports has so many other things than just… playing sports. The recent scoop is that Logan Paul and Ksi’s company Prime Hydration is now the exclusive official hydration partner for the WWE.
Ryan Garcia, the American professional boxer who recently had a match with Devin Haney, also fired shots at Prime Hydration. Flooring Haney on the ground, Garcia won the fight. However, the boxer took to his X and blamed Logan Paul’s Prime for Devin Haney’s loss and claimed that the drink was responsible for making wrestlers lose!

Back in 2022, YouTubers Logan Paul and Ksi formed a company titled Prime Hydration. With the fans going crazy for the drink, Prime Hydration found a massive boost in income and became quite the challenge for other energy drinks in the market.

Last April, Jason Kelce entered the NFL’s West Coast media hub in Inglewood, California (it’s right next door to SoFi Stadium), with trepidation. In an otherwise nondescript conference room, Kelce talked with those sitting with him about the difficulties that NFL stars can have after they retire from the game, an attendee recalls.
Kelce was in Los Angeles to attend the NFL’s broadcast boot camp, which gives players a chance to hone their skills for TV, radio, podcasts and other mediums.
“So many guys are interested in, ‘How can I stay in football?’ ‘I think I’d be good on TV, but I’m not really sure,’ ” Tracy Perlman, the NFL’s senior vp player operations, told The Hollywood Reporter at the time about the boot camp. “So this gives them the opportunity to learn about it and understand the commitment it takes, and it gives them the reps to figure out,...

WrestleMania 40 is nearly here, and the milestone event is looking to live up to its “Xl” billing.

Of course, none of that actually matters much if you don’t know how and when to watch WrestleMania 40 in the first place. So, here’s (hopefully) everything you need to know about the upcoming show.

But as Cena expands his acting pursuits, he recently revealed to Howard Stern that WWE’s creative team barred him from ever embracing a heel turn. This refusal to explore his character’s dark side restricted Cena creatively and may have hindered engaging new feuds and story angles that could have thrilled fans.

Logan Paul had an oddly funny exchange with a fan requesting an autograph.
The Reigning WWE United States Champion and YouTuber competed in his first WWE TV match on SmackDown (Feb. 16). This week’s episode of the Stamford-based promotion’s blue brand proved a noteworthy outing for the social media personality.

If he conquers the upcoming event, he will snag a chance to duke it out with Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40.
But his victory at the SmackDown isn’t the only thing being talked out. During his entrance, as the pro-wrestler walked past his fans, he grabbed a Prime bottle from one of them in the front row. As the person expected an autograph, Paul instead, in a classic heel move,...

Sometimes a WWE title run just doesn’t work. Maybe the wrestler wasn’t right for it. Maybe the wrestler was right but the writing was all wrong. Maybe the disastrous choice to make someone champion not only hurt the careers of others but also damaged the company as a whole.
We’re looking back at 15 WWE wrestlers who shouldn’t have been crowned world champions. Keep in mind, this list is broken down into specific title runs, so while it was copacetic to have Hulk Hogan wave the banner during the Hulkamania era, that doesn’t mean that it was always the best move to put him at the top of the food chain. Let’s have a look…

[This story contains spoilers for The Iron Claw and A Murder at the End of the World.]
Harris Dickinson is having a December to remember.
The rising English actor has concluded 2023 with two standout roles in Sean Durkin’s The Iron Claw and Brit Marling/Zal Batmanglij’s A Murder at the End of the World. In the former, Dickinson plays professional wrestler David Von Erich, the third of Fritz Von Erich’s (Holt McCallany) six sons, and the second out of five to suffer a tragic fate. The role has a lot in common with Dickinson’s other current role as Bill “Fangs” Farrah on A Murder at the End of the World, as both characters’ deaths set their respective stories in motion.
Oddly enough, Dickinson has played the first major domino to fall on two other occasions, starting with 2021’s The King’s Man and then 2022’s Where the Crawdads Sing. Each death is central to their narrative,...

Welcome to this review of this past Friday’s episode of Friday Night Smackdown, right here on Nerdly. Let’s see what went down on this week’s episode!
Match #1: Charlotte Flair & Asuka def. Iyo Sky & Bayley The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
One night before WWE Fastlane, Charlotte Flair gained the pinfall victory during her and Asuka’s match against WWE Women’s Champion Iyo Sky and Bayley. At WWE Fastlane, Sky is set to defend her WWE Women’s Championship against Flair and Asuka in a Triple Threat Match and looks to be on shaky ground, as she and her partner Bayley came up short. The four Superstars balled out, with Sky taking out everyone in a tremendous Tower of Doom that left everyone down. Even though Flair had accidentally booted Asuka in the face, she still came away with the win after a Natural Selection on Sky.

Match #1: Jimmy Uso def. Karl Anderson The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
In a subsequent matchup, a Solo Sikoa distraction allowed Jimmy Uso to rake Anderson’s eyes before following up with a Superkick and Samoan Splash to overcame his opponent. When Anderson battled back after the match, Solo entered the ring and blasted the defeated Superstar with a post-match Samoan Spike. As The Bloodline made the exit, however, Michin emerged and dropped Jimmy to the floor with a hard slap.
My Score: 1.5 out of 5 Match #2: Austin Theory def. Cameron Grimes The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Match #1: Rey Mysterio & Santos Escobar def. The Street Profits The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
All is not right between Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits. Though the group seemed primed to potentially take over SmackDown, Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford suffered a loss to United States Champion Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar to cause a rift in the group. Lashley’s cheap shot on Mysterio late in the match caused Dawkins to lose focus, allowing Mysterio to pick up the victory via rollup. The All Mighty admonished the former tag team champs after the loss, walking out on them in frustration.
My Score: 3 out of 5 Match #2: WWE Women’s Championship – Asuka def. Iyo Sky The following is courtesy of wwe.

WWE, part of the newly created Tko Group, and NBCUniversal have agreed to a five-year domestic media rights deal that will bring Friday Night SmackDown to USA Network starting in Oct. 2024, exiting its current home on Fox.
WWE will also produce four specials a year for NBC primetime.
Raw, the top-rated flagship property that also airs Mondays on USA Network, is not part of this deal. Today’s announcement noted that USA Networks “is currently home to WWE Monday Night Raw and WWE Nxt, “which will continue to air on USA Network through September of 2024.” A number of players are said to be circling Raw.
Financial terms weren’t disclosed but Mark Shapiro, president and chief operating officer of WWE parents Tko Group and Endeavor, said recently when asked about negotiations that he expected results “in line with market expectations.” That could mean about a 40% bump from the previous SmackDown deal,...

Match #1: Steel Cage Match – Becky Lynch def. Trish Stratus The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
The Man came to Pittsburgh and made good on her word as she dispatched WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus in a thrilling Steel Cage Match. Trish Stratus started the match by attempting to unceremoniously escape the cage, but she was captured by Lynch. The Man went to work, tossing the Hall of Famer all around the ring and even into the steel structure. Both Superstars exchanged incredible moves, like Trish Stratus hitting a Widow’s Peak and Lynch nailing not only a Twist of Fate, but also a back-breaking superplex. Zoey Stark...

Match #1: Grayson Waller & Austin Theory def. Rey Mysterio & Santos Escobar The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
United States Champion Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar came up just short of a tag team win as Grayson Waller and Austin Theory snuck out of Smackdown with major momentum. Waller and Theory looked like a well-oiled machine early on, but that faded after an inadvertent shot from Waller knocked Theory to the outside. Mysterio found himself in the crosshairs of a cheap shot from his Payback opponent Theory, but Escobar sacrificed himself and absorbed the blow, only for Waller to sneak in and hit his Rolling Stunner to pick up the win.
My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn def.
