WWE SmackDown takeaways: Drew McIntyre, Trish Stratus return; Talla Tonga introduced
WWE Friday Night SmackDown on July 4 took place at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, and featured the fallout from Night of Champions. The build toward the all-women's event, Evolution, was a key focus of this week's show as well, which was pre-taped due to the holiday. There were some solid matches on the show, including Andrade and Rey Fenix vs. Fraxiom. WWE decided to just throw the whole men's tag division in a match too, which Wyatt Sicks won to get a shot at the Street Profits' titles next week. Check out the top 5 takeaways from this episode: Drew McIntyre returns The opening segment of the show was the King of the Ring, Cody Rhodes on the mic. As he was getting into what winning KOTR means, Randy Orton entered. Orton said he hesitated during their match, while Rhodes did not. For that, he has Rhodes' respect, but he also told him he better beat John Cena at SummerSlam. Queue the sounds of swords. "Thank God 'The Alpha' has returned," Drew McIntyre said as he approached the ring. McIntyre, sporting a new "bored at work" tee, told "Super Cody" that he wants him to win at SummerSlam too so he can be the one to rip the title off him. McIntyre also questioned Orton for his hesitation. He got an answer in the form of an RKO out of nowhere. Later in the show, a match between McIntyre and Orton was made official for Saturday Night's Main Event. It seemed as if McIntyre was stuck in neutral before taking a couple of months off. He comes right back into a big match against Orton, and the result of this one should tell us a lot about where he'll be going in the next few months. Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair become No. 1 contenders The first match of this week's show was a three-way women's tag between the teams of Michin and B-Fab, Alba Fyre and Piper Niven, and Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair. The stakes were for No. 1 contender status. As most multi-way tag team matches go, it didn't take long for everything to break down. Bodies started flying everywhere, and a couple of nasty-looking bumps occurred. Each team had their burst of momentum, but it was Bliss and Flair who had the finishing touch. Flair went up to the top rope for a moonsault, but patted Bliss on the head before sticking the move onto the Secret Hervice. Flair didn't realize she was tagging Bliss in, and when she popped up to knock Chelsea Green off the apron, Twisted Bliss connected for the pin. After the match, Flair gave Bliss a big hug like she was her best friend in the world. They advance to a four-way match at Evolution with a shot at Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez's women's tag titles. The two other teams will be determined on Raw and NXT. The big takeaway here is that Flair's cold heart is starting to warm. The hug she gave Bliss was unlike anything we've ever seen from Flair before. I'm intrigued to see far this friendly, affectionate Flair goes. Trish Stratus returns After women's champ Tiffany Stratton asked Pittsburgh what time it was, she began to discuss who's next after handling business against Nia Jax, again. Stratton will defend her title at Evolution, but who will be her opponent? Shortly after the mention of Jade Cargill, the Queen of the Ring's music filled the speakers. Cargill warned Stratton that she had better choose her next challenge wisely because she may not even make it to SummerSlam to face her. That's when Stratton told Cargill she had a surprise. Enter WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus. Stratton sought to repay the Stratus' favor of teaming up together in the past with a title shot at Evolution. Stratus thought about how her kids have never seen her win a title, so the idea sounded pretty good. The match was made official when the show returned from the commercial break after the segment. As long as Stratus can go in the ring, WWE can go to the "Stratusfaction" well as much as it needs to. The segment was pretty straightforward, but this is where it was painfully obvious the Pittsburgh crowd was asleep. It was bound to happen when you ask people to sit through a Raw and SmackDown show back-to-back. Stratton vs. Stratus wasn't the only Evolution match made here, as Cargill gets another match against Naomi after she attacked backstage. Jacob Fatu and Jimmy Uso beat Solo Sikoa and JC Mateo The main event of this episode was a tag match between United States champ Solo Sikoa and JC Mateo against former US champ Jacob Fatu and Jimmy Uso. Earlier in the show, during a recorded segment, Sikoa introduced Hikuleo, who will now be known as Talla Tonga. Sikoa said his family is now complete, but it's way different than the Bloodline. Proceeding to the main event match, this was an opportunity for Fatu to get some revenge on Sikoa after losing his title at Night of Champions. After the initial back-and-forth moments, Sikoa started taunting Fatu after laying out Uso. The good thing about this match was delaying the clash between Sikoa and Fatu, which came after a hot tag. From there, action picked up heavily as Fatu and Uso began to dominate. Before you knew it, Fatu nailed Sikoa with his finishing moonsault for the pin. After the match, Fatu wanted more. He laid Sikoa on the announce desk and went to the top rope. That's when Talla Tonga showed up out of nowhere to make the save. Tonga Loa joined the party too, and it became a one-sided beatdown as the numbers game was too much for Fatu and Sikoa to handle. Eventually, Fatu was the one who was powerbombed through the announce desk. The newer new-look Bloodline led by Sikoa looks strong. Aside from the somewhat silly on-the-nose name for Talla, it's a solid collection of talent that could eventually prompt a return of Roman Reigns to restore order. Although I've attempted to predict a Reigns return multiple times since WrestleMania, and I've failed every time, so I won't hold my breath this time.

Coinbase CEO Says 'Long Bitcoin,' Reveals Weekly Buys
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) may not be the only firm on a weekly Bitcoin buying spree. 'We're buying more Bitcoin every week,' Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong said last week on X, adding, 'Long Bitcoin.' But buying frequency may be where the similarities in MicroStrategy and Coinbase's Bitcoin accumulation strategies end. Unlike MicroStrategy, Coinbase has chosen not to issue shares to purchase Bitcoin, opting instead to use excess cash reserves. Don't Miss: — no wallets, just price speculation and free paper trading to practice different strategies. Grow your IRA or 401(k) with Crypto – . Interestingly, Coinbase had considered taking a more aggressive Bitcoin accumulation route earlier in its history. 'There were definitely moments over the last 12 years where we thought, man, should we put 80% of our balance sheet into crypto — into Bitcoin specifically,' Armstrong said in May. However, the leading cryptocurrency exchange ultimately judged the move too risky for a young company. While the now S&P 500-listed firm is no longer the fledgling firm it once was, it remains committed to its cautious approach. Revealing $150 million in cryptocurrency purchases largely comprising Bitcoin in Q1, Coinbase Chief Financial Officer Alesia Haas stressed in May that the firm remained 'an operating company,' dispelling any speculation of a Bitcoin treasury pivot. 'To be clear, we're an operating company,' Haas said. 'But we do invest alongside the space.' Coinbase reported having a $1.3 billion cryptocurrency investment portfolio at the end of Q1, representing 25% of its net cash. At last look, data showed that the firm held 9,267 BTC worth roughly $1 billion. Trending: New to crypto? on Coinbase. Armstrong's recent remarks on Coinbase's Bitcoin accumulation came in response to a message from Bitcoin Magazine Chair David Bailey, congratulating the firm as its stock soared to its highest point since its November 2021 initial public offering. 'Kudos to Brian Armstrong who is a total G and rightfully earned the ATH [all-time high],' Bailey said. 'Now he just needs to build a proper Bitcoin treasury.' Coinbase's stock rally follows its May inclusion in the S&P 500, positive regulatory developments with the passage of the GENIUS Act and product launches. Most recently, the firm has unveiled details of its planned U.S. perpetual trading product, which is set to launch on July 21. Such products have largely been unavailable to U.S. users due to regulatory see Coinbase's stock soaring higher in the short term. Bernstein last week raised its Coinbase target to $510, citing derivatives expansion and revenue growth in non-trading businesses like staking, stablecoins and the Base blockchain. 'Coinbase is the most misunderstood company in our crypto coverage universe. ... Despite multiple growth levers, consensus remains bearish on the largest Crypto universal bank,' Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani wrote in the note shared with Benzinga. 'It is the only crypto company in the S&P 500, dominates U.S. crypto trading market, runs the largest stablecoin business amongst exchanges, dominates institutional crypto, acquired the largest global crypto options exchange and runs the largest and fastest chain on Ethereum forming the tokenization network.' Bernstein's target represents a 46% upside potential from Coinbase's current share price. The firm's stock price declined by less than 1% to close at $350 on Monday.

Stock-Split Watch: Is D-Wave Quantum Next?
D-Wave Quantum is one of the companies in the red-hot quantum computing sector. The stock has crushed the market over the last year. Could a stock split be in the company's future? 10 stocks we like better than D-Wave Quantum › Quantum computing stocks such as D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS) have been all the rage this year, with many seeing their stock prices soar. Investors are viewing the sector in a similar light to the early days of artificial intelligence. If quantum computing companies are able to commercialize quantum computers that can ideally process much more complex calculations than computers today, you may one day find them in every home and office in America and all over the world. Stocks can embark on stock splits for all sorts of different reasons. They can happen to successful stocks and underperforming stocks. Is D-Wave Quantum next? Before looking at whether D-Wave could be due for a stock split, it's important for investors to understand what stock splits are and why companies may embark on them. Stock splits are simply a way for a company to lower its share price and increase the number of outstanding shares, or vice versa through a reverse stock split. Stock splits and reverse stock splits do not change a company's market capitalization and, therefore, will not change an investor's equity position if they held shares before one occurs. Let's do a quick example with one of the world's largest publicly traded companies: Tesla. Let's say you own 100 shares of Tesla, which currently trades slightly under $313 per share, making your total equity position slightly under $31,300. If Tesla were to conduct a three-for-one stock split, you would take the 100 shares and multiply by three, resulting in 300 shares. Then, to calculate the new share price, you would take the equity position ($31,300) and divide by 300, which equals $104.33 per share. Notice that your number of Tesla shares tripled, while the share price was divided by three. But you still have the same total equity value, and the market cap is the same, so there was no dilution. A company might conduct a stock split or a reverse split for several reasons. A frequent example occurs when a company's stock price drops too low. The Nasdaq Composite and New York Stock Exchange require companies that trade on their exchanges to maintain at least a $1 share price for at least 30 business days. If a company fails to meet this requirement, it may eventually be delisted. A reverse stock split can help resolve this conundrum. Companies that are extremely successful and see their stock prices rise into the hundreds or even the thousands will also use stock splits to bring down their share price and make the stock more attainable for investors. Even though investors can now buy fractional shares, they may be less likely to purchase shares with such a high price tag. A stock split lowers the share price and increases the share count, potentially boosting liquidity. While basic computers use bits to process data, which are the smallest units of digital information, quantum computers use qubits to process data much faster and perform much more complex calculations in a much more efficient manner than computers and humans. If executed correctly, many believe that quantum computers will be able to make huge advancements in nearly every sector, including science, medicine, and finance, to name a few. D-Wave is one company that has made good progress. The company's latest model, released earlier this year, features 4,400 qubits and robust qubit coherence, which allows qubits to stay in the quantum state for longer and solve calculations faster and with more accuracy. In fact, D-Wave's latest quantum technology has achieved a 75% reduction in noise, which can throw off qubits. The less noise, the higher the accuracy. Due to this success and other signs of general progress in the quantum computing industry, D-Wave has seen its stock soar by over 1,281% in the last year, so investors have crushed it. The stock trades at $16.79 per share and has a market cap of $5.25 billion. Furthermore, D-Wave has a high public float and can be purchased on most common brokerages, such as Robinhood. D-Wave also recently completed a $400 million at-the-market equity offering, so I don't see any indication that the company will conduct a reverse stock split anytime soon. D-Wave is in compliance with the New York Stock Exchange's listing requirements and has a liquid share base.
