Octagon Jr shines at WWE Worlds Collide
Octagon Jr, Mr Iguana, and Aero Star beat LWO in the opening match of WWE Worlds Collide 2025, an event that features talent from AAA and the Stamford-based promotion. Octagon Jr started off the match against Cruz Del Toro. The two put on a bit of a show before the mult-man nature of the contest took centre stage. Mr Iguana, in particular, left the audience stunned with his unique mannerisms and unusual interactions with a stuffed toy.
Aero Star too garnered attention when he took down his rivals with a 'suicide dive' to the outside. However, the biggest highlight of the match came in the dying moments when Octagon Jr pinned Lince Dorado with a move of the top rope for the pin. After the match, Dominik Mysterio insulted his father and WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio.

Aditi Iyer releases powerful new song, ‘Under the Roses'
'Under the Roses felt satisfyingly sinister, like something bad was about to happen.' That is how 20-year-old singer-songwriter Aditi Iyer describes the emotional undercurrent of her latest track. Inspired by the Latin phrase sub rosa, meaning 'something secretive under the surface', the song captures a perfect façade. 'We all feel ashamed of ourselves sometimes,' she says. 'We all may feel these emotions when we admit truths about ourselves we do not like.' With 'Under the Roses', Aditi composed an entire track on her own for the first time and shattered long-held insecurities about her abilities. 'In the past, I needed help or guidance to compose,' she admits. 'But I had just taken this amazing songwriting class at Berklee that opened my mind and made me feel more confident as a musician.' Aditi began composing at 10 and released her debut four-track EP Dollhouse at 17, before enrolling at Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA, to refine her craft. The confidence she gained there made her write more fearlessly, she shares. 'I would have never included a swear word before. I was guilty of trying to be a 'perfect' artiste and person when I am not.' The track, produced with Los Angeles-based songwriter and producer Ryan Benyo, takes on a dramatic, orchestral quality with strings and cinematic elements — a musical shift indicating her growing interest in film scores and storytelling. Over the years, Aditi has grown as a songwriter and a singer. Dollhouse focused on love and relationships — topics she felt expected to write about, even if they did not always reflect her experiences. With 'The Queen', she began exploring emotions such as anxiety and self-doubt, and by the time she wrote 'Under the Roses', she felt more comfortable expressing those feelings in her lyrics and music. Vocally, too, she has come a long way — gaining better technique, more control, and a stronger sound. 'Under the Roses is my most honest and confident work yet.' Entering her senior year at Berklee College of Music, Aditi credits the college with transforming her songwriting and stage presence. 'Earlier, I felt awkward on stage; like I could trust my voice to be emotive but not my face or body,' she says. Now, she finds performance liberating. 'I feel I can connect on a deeper level to the messages of the songs I am singing.' Balancing opera and pop While Aditi continues as a pop artiste, opera remains a personal and permanent part of her musical identity. Trained in Western classical music, she credits much of her vocal foundation to her teacher, the late Situ Singh Buehler, whose recent passing she is still coming to terms with. 'She taught me everything I know,' says Aditi, who is committed to carrying forward her legacy. Aditi is also excited about exploring new genres. At Berklee, she recently discovered a love for musical theatre — a style already influencing her songwriting, with tracks like 'Some Call It Jealousy' and 'Under the Roses' drawing comparisons to stage ballads. Rock 'n' roll, too, is on her radar. 'It makes me feel so alive,' she says, eager to experiment with its raw energy and attitude. When asked what she hopes her music stands for, Aditi says, 'I hope people feel deeply when they hear it, whether it makes them laugh, cry, or dance. I want my music to be an emotional pocket where people can be the version of themselves they want to be.' She adds, 'I believe music should be sincere rather than blindly formulaic. You should be able to tell the artiste had honest intent behind it, whether lighthearted or serious. I hope my music can be remembered like that.'

‘Squid Game' Stocks Sink as Blockbuster Ends With Mixed Reviews
(Bloomberg) -- Shares in South Korean companies tied to Netflix Inc.'s blockbuster series Squid Game slumped on Monday following the release of the hit show's final season, which debuted to a lukewarm audience reception despite topping global streaming charts. Artist Co., an entertainment agency in which Squid Game's main actor Lee Jung-jae is the largest shareholder, tanked as much as 21%. Artist Studio Inc., a unit of Artist Co., also declined 24%. Dexter Studios Co., South Korea-based visual effects production firm and one of partners of Squid Game production, fell 8.5%. 'Much of the criticism stems from how the show ended — viewers whose interpretation of the show's worldview doesn't align with theirs,' said Kim Hern-sik, a pop culture critic in Seoul. 'It's hard to top Season 1 — it was a global sensation.' The third season of Netflix's anti-capitalist parable, which premiered on June 27, topped the global TV show rankings on Netflix in all countries, according to FlixPatrol, which tracks viewing on streaming services. The Season 3 earned 83% approval rating among professional critics while 51% approval rating from audience, according to Rotten Tomatoes.
