AJ Styles made bold entrance with son in classic lowrider, paying subtle homage to late icon Eddie Guerrero
AJ Styles
made a statement in his way up to SummerSlam 2025. With his son, Avery Jones, riding shotgun, Styles rolled into MetLife Stadium in a classic lowrider. It was a clear tribute to the late, great Eddie Guerrero.
The moment was powerful, especially considering Styles had already hinted that this could be his final SummerSlam appearance.

Before the bell even rang for the AJ Styles vs Dominik Mysterio matchup, the energy was different. Styles, clad in Latino Heat-inspired gear, embraced nostalgia without stealing the spotlight. "If I'm being honest with you guys, this may be my last SummerSlam," he had told fans during the kickoff show.
"So, I plan on tearing the house down one last time at SummerSlam for you guys."
The match against Dominik Mysterio was action-packed. AJ started strong, crisp and focused, putting on a technical display that reminded fans why his debut match against John Cena in 2016 is still considered one of SummerSlam's all-time greats.
But Dominik was ready to defend his title. Matching Styles move for move, 'Dirty' Dom leaned into his Guerrero roots, complete with a slingshot senton and the signature top-turnbuckle fake-out.

The crowd caught on quickly. It was indeed fine storytelling for the fans.
As the match intensified, Mysterio pulled a clever trick straight from Guerrero's playbook. He removed his boot mid-hold, slipping out of the calf crusher, and nailing Styles behind the ref's back. One splash later, and the three-count sealed a huge win for the rising Intercontinental Champion.

Styles might be on his way out, but he didn't leave without giving the next generation a serious boost. Dominik Mysterio's clean(ish) win over a future Hall of Famer now becomes a key chapter in his evolving legacy.
With a Triplemanía main event coming up and whispers of gold crossing into Raw via Netflix, Dominik's stock is soaring.

Saiyaara OTT release set for Netflix; Diwali debut on the cards
After a record-breaking run at the box office, the romantic drama Saiyaara, featuring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, is now gearing up for its digital premiere on Netflix. According to a report by News18, the film — already crowned the highest-grossing love story in Indian cinema — is expected to arrive on OTT around Diwali. While an official release date has yet to be confirmed, sources suggest that Netflix and the film's producers are eyeing the festive season for its streaming debut. Originally planned to drop a few months after its theatrical release, the film's overwhelming success — grossing ₹ 478 crore globally in just over two weeks — has led to an extended cinema run. The final OTT release date will reportedly depend on how long the film continues to perform well in theatres. If everything goes as planned, Saiyaara could brighten up viewers' screens during Diwali celebrations. Directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara tells the story of Krish Kapoor, a troubled musician, and Vaani Batra, a reserved poet. The film explores themes of love, heartbreak, and emotional healing. ETimes rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, praising Ahaan Panday's debut performance. 'He effortlessly blends raw swagger with vulnerability,' the review noted, especially in a powerful final scene where he echoes the intensity of cricketer Virat Kohli. Aneet Padda also received positive reviews for her expressive performance, particularly in a standout scene set in a recording studio, where she reflects on the lasting impact of emotions in music as compared to fleeting trends. With steady theatre attendance and positive word-of-mouth, Saiyaara is expected to continue its strong box office run in the coming weeks. Adding to the excitement, a viral video shows Ranbir Kapoor asking paparazzi, 'Saiyaara dekhi kya?' — sending fans into a frenzy on social media. All eyes are now on Netflix's Diwali line-up, with Saiyaara poised to be one of the season's biggest streaming events.
