The New Day Make History At WWE WrestleMania 41
The New Day may not be everyone's favorites right now, but they've made history once again at WrestleMania 41.
In a match against The War Raiders for the WWE World Tag Team Championships, the group once again captured the titles, breaking their own historic record. In the match, the group would utilize some underhanded tactics to win. After hitting a big stomp on the Raiders, Woods went for the pin, while Kofi — who had slid out of the ring — held down Ivar's legs.
Unable to kick out, the referee counted to three, and The New Day were champions again. The group quickly took the belts and immediately ran out of the ring and up the ramp. A stunned War Raiders could only watch as The New Day celebrated their historic win at the top of the ramp.

With the win, The New Day are now 12-time tag team champions in WWE, breaking their own previous record of 11. Throughout their legendary run as a tag team, the group has held countless titles. This includes four separate reigns as WWE RAW Tag Team Champions, and seven reigns as WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions.
The group also have the third-longest reign of tag team championships in WWE's history, at 483 days.

WWE champ Naomi talks Hulk Hogan's impact on pro wrestling after icon's death
Hulk Hogan's death sent a shockwave throughout the pro wrestling world last week. The 71-year-old died after he suffered a possible cardiac arrest at his Florida home and was transferred to a hospital. Hogan's legacy was remembered throughout the weekend as WWE paid tribute to him with a video montage and a 10-bell salute before "Friday Night SmackDown." WWE's women's world champion Naomi weighed in on Hogan's death in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. "It's very unfortunate and very sad," she said. "I think death is something that's always hard to process and through. Hulk, as a performer, he just made such a profound impact on this business and opened up so many opportunities for us to do what we're doing now, to put on shows like we are this weekend. "My heart goes out to his family for their mourning and for their grief. May he rest in peace." Naomi, whose real name is Trinity Fatu, became a three-time champion when she cashed in her Money in the Bank contract during a match at Evolution between Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley. She pinned Sky in one of the top matches of the year. Now, Naomi will be thrust into a triple-threat match at SummerSlam to defend her championship. She will square off against Ripley and Sky. SummerSlam will be a two-night event for the first time in WWE history. The premium live event takes place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Saturday and Sunday.

Cody Rhodes Reportedly Had Talks For Role In Major Movie
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The recently released Adam Sandler comedy, Happy Gilmore 2, features several professional wrestlers, but a new report has revealed that another top WWE star was also considered for a role. According to Fightful Select, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes was asked to read for a part in the movie. The report states that Rhodes had talks with the film's production team. However, scheduling conflicts ultimately prevented the opportunity from becoming a real possibility. Scheduling Conflicts For Cody Rhodes While Rhodes was requested to read for an unspecified role, his demanding schedule as a top WWE superstar made taking on the project impossible. The filming schedule for Happy Gilmore 2 was an extensive one, requiring AEW's MJF, who has a featured role, to take months off from television. As the current King of the Ring and the number one contender for the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam, a similar hiatus was not an option for Rhodes. While the role was not in the cards, his focus remains squarely on his main event match against John Cena this weekend. Wrestlers and Adam Sandler: A History Adam Sandler has a long and well-documented history of casting professional wrestlers and other large athletes in his films. The 2005 remake of The Longest Yard famously featured a lineup of wrestling legends, including Bill Goldberg, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Kevin Nash, and The Great Khali. Other Happy Madison productions have featured stars like The Big Show, who had a memorable role in The Waterboy. Cody Rhodes looks on during the WWE Royal Rumble at Alamodome on January 28, 2023 in San Antonio, Texas. Cody Rhodes looks on during the WWE Royal Rumble at Alamodome on January 28, 2023 in San Antonio, Texas. Alex Bierens de Haan Sandler is a known wrestling fan, and his history of successfully using wrestlers in his movies makes the report that he was interested in a star of Cody Rhodes' caliber very plausible. More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match The "American Nightmare" On Screen Cody Rhodes is no stranger to the world of acting. During his time away from WWE, he landed a recurring role on the popular CW superhero series, Arrow. He played the villainous drug dealer Derek Sampson for multiple seasons, proving he has legitimate acting chops. He has also appeared on other television shows, including serving as a judge on the competition series Go-Big Show. While a role in Happy Gilmore 2 didn't work out, it is a clear sign that Rhodes is on Hollywood's radar. For now, however, his story is being told inside a WWE ring.
