Booker T Gets Caught Sleeping During WWE Programming Again
It's going to be very difficult for Booker T to escape these sleeping allegations.
Last month, Booker T was caught sleeping during the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. While Booker would later deny these allegations on his podcast, he's been caught sleeping on WWE programming once again, this time at the broadcast booth for NXT.

Booker T's role on commentary for NXT
The WWE Hall of Famer recently spoke to Denise Salcedo about his antics on commentary and discussed his reaction to NXT Women's Champion Stephanie Vaquer's move, The Devil's Kiss.
'I think she liked it,' Booker said. 'Because when she started doing it, she would point at me. And so, like, let's get ready to have some fun. So, I… A lot of people, they look at it and they go, 'Booker T just tried to steal the shine.'

'But I tell you, like I said when I was a young wrestler coming up, the Spinarooni would not be the Spinarooni if it wasn't for a guy by the name of Mark Madden going crazy when I did the Spinarooni, and then it became a household name. So, for me, I'm trying to do the same thing for these young guys and these young girls coming up right now.'

Friends Reunited: Why it wasn't just Lionel Messi who faced Paris Saint-Germain at the FIFA Club World Cup
For all the hullabaloo and hype surrounding Lionel Messi's return to Atlanta on Sunday for the FIFA Club World Cup round of 16 clash against his former club – reigning UEFA Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain – the Inter Miami maestro wasn't the only player, past or present, with ties to the French side. PSG boss Luis Enrique had the pleasure of coming up against no fewer than four players he once managed at Spanish giant Barcelona. Messi – bien sûr – but Luis Suárez, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets who, in a world without the Argentine superstar still playing in it, all remain capable of hogging the limelight. And Enrique's counterpart on the Miami sideline was Javier Mascherano, who also played a pivotal part in Enrique's treble-winning era at Barça in the 2014-15 season. Advertisement Fast forward a couple of years to 2017, and Miami's group of former Barça stars played their part in the remarkable remontada against PSG, as Les Parisiens somehow contrived to throw away a 4-0 first leg lead in a round of 16 Champions League tie, getting thumped 6-1 in the return match. Round of 16 you say? Narrative was in the air everywhere you cared to look on Sunday. And in the cool climate of Mercedes-Benz Stadium, a penny – or perhaps that should be cent – for the thoughts of Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham, who was in the house despite recent surgery. The iconic English soccer star ended his playing career in the red and blue of PSG, memorably shedding more than a few tears when calling it a day in May 2013, shortly after winning a fourth different league winners' medal: in addition to England, Spain and the United States. And this was no fleeting dalliance, but a relationship of real meaning, as evidenced by the 50-year-old cheering them on inside the Allianz Arena last month, as PSG finally won a first Champions League, demolishing Inter Milan 5-0 in the process. The soon to be knighted Beckham had a night for the ages in Munich. Advertisement 'To be honest, it's quite an emotional match for me,' Beckham told the TNT Sports/DAZN pregame show pitchside in Atlanta about his MLS team facing the final club he ever represented. 'I only spent six months there, but it felt like 16 years. It's a real family, it's a real special club, owned by special people, run by a special man, and we're very proud of this moment.' Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham gestures ahead of the match. - Mike Stewart/AP Could a case be made that everyone would end up winning on this final Sunday of June, as the knockout rounds continued at the newly expanded Club World Cup? PSG was the heavy favorite to advance, while Inter Miami had shown a dose of flair along the way from its star names to become the only MLS team from the contingent of three to advance from the group stage. A comfortable win for the European giants, while Inter Miami leave with their collective heads held high? Handshakes all around, let's swap some jerseys, and do it all over again four years from now? Advertisement Who could argue with that narrative? Opta's supercomputer considered PSG the likeliest competition winner before the Club World Cup kicked off in mid-June and stuck to its belief heading into the Round of 16 – giving PSG a 20.6% chance of lifting the trophy, after running 10,000 simulations – while Inter Miami languished with frankly risible odds of 0.3%. Surely even Messi and Beckham, who know a thing or two about dragging their teams through insurmountable situations, wouldn't have said with a straight face: 'So you're telling me there's a chance!' But soccer has the capacity to consistently make us look 'Dumb and Dumber.' And perhaps the revenge angle needed to be factored in: Messi did not seem to particularly enjoy himself – nor win much in the way of silverware – over his two seasons in the French capital, after swapping Barcelona for Paris in 2021. And in his approximately 1,100-game career, the 38-year-old had never faced a former side in a competitive fixture until Sunday. As for PSG, so much has been said about the irony of big-name players such as Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar failing to land the holy grail that is the Champions League, while the fresh-faced Désiré Doué, João Neves and Bradley Barcola got their hands on 'Ol' Big Ears' not long after being legally allowed to drink alcohol from the iconic trophy, that it barely needs repeating. Advertisement In the end, those jersey swaps could have taken place at the half-time whistle, with the European champion putting on a clinic, racing out to a 4-0 lead, courtesy of a brace from João Neves, an own goal from Tomás Avilés (the hapless substitute had already been booked, mere seconds after entering the game in the 19th minute), and the dagger strike from attacking full-back Achraf Hakimi. The game was theoretically in the balance at 2-0, with a couple of minutes to go in the first half, but dramatically doubled before the 65,574 in attendance could catch their breath. PSG star Ousmane Dembélé seen during the match. - Hugo Pfeiffer/The second 45 minutes felt like an exhibition. PSG took its foot off the gas, almost taunting its opponent to have a go. And at times, it felt like the entire stadium – and it did seem like a more partisan Inter Miami (or perhaps that should be pro-Messi) crowd – was willing the forward to score. And he happily accepted the assignment. Advertisement A blocked shot here, some shots saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma there – including from a header which might have caused the loudest cheer in this stadium's history had it nestled in the net – and a free kick which rather tamely went into the PSG wall. But Messi's eight Ballons d'Or count for nothing when a side sitting sixth place in the MLS Eastern Conference takes on the best team in Europe. 'There's a huge lesson to be learned from here,' noted Inter Miami coach Mascherano, in what might have been the biggest understatement of the tournament. PSG coach Enrique for his part declared, 'It was an almost perfect match, we created a lot of chances,' perhaps the second biggest of the tournament. Speaking to reporters, including CNN Sports, after the match, PSG star Ousmane Dembélé acknowledged that he was 'very happy' to come up against Messi, and it gave him 'pleasure' to see him. It's clear that the players still revere him, but the question must be asked: Could this have been Messi's final ever game on the global stage? The World Cup is around the corner but, at some point soon, he'll be hanging up his boots. Advertisement For PSG, whose players are hanging up medals rather than boots, a return to this stunning stadium awaits on Saturday, with the Champions League winner taking on German giant Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals. It's a veritable blockbuster, but the likes of Messi and Beckham will be spectators rather than protagonists. 'It's fine… it's all good,' said a beaming Beckham just before kick-off, about his surgery. But as a second opinion, he could have been referring to the outcome of this match.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have ‘low-key' dinner date in NYC after Nashville outings
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are continuing their summer fun with another 'low-key' dinner date in New York City. Sources exclusively tell Page Six that the couple stepped out for dinner with the pop star's brother, Austin Swift, at San Vicente West Village on Saturday night. We hear that the trio 'sat alone quietly' and that 'no one bothered them' at the ultra-exclusive club. The trio stayed late, we hear, having an intimate dinner at the club that's known for its privacy and no-photo policy inside. The New York private club opened earlier this year and hosted an after-party for Lorne Michaels' 'SNL' 50th anniversary concert at Radio City Music Hall. The LA original, San Vicente Bungalows, regularly hosts bold-face names like Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Aniston, Miley Cyrus, Justin and Hailey Bieber, Steven Spielberg, Jennifer Lopez, Sydney Sweeney, Zoe Kravitz, Jon Hamm, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and more. Photos obtained by Page Six showed Swift, 35, entering the restaurant wearing a nearly $3,500 pink-and-white houndstooth Balmain dress with gold chain straps and gold buttons on the front. She finished her look with a beige purse and matching Christian Louboutin shoes. Kelce, also 35, wore a short-sleeve white dress shirt, black pants and a pair of black loafers. The couple returned to New York this weekend after Swift supported her NFL boyfriend at his 'Tight Ends University' events last week in Nashville, Tenn. The pop star even held an impromptu performance of 'Shake It Off' at the 'Tight Ends and Friends' concert. The weekend prior, Swift and Kelce were spotted holding hands as they exited Torrisi, one of their go-to NYC hot spots. In a video posted by a fan online, the Kansas City Chiefs star was seen shaking hands with a restaurant employee as he was leaving. Kelce then ran both hands through his hair as he turned to make sure Swift was behind him. The two shared a brief exchange before grabbing each other's hands and getting into their car to leave.

Taylor Swift rocks $3.5K Balmain tweed dress and Louboutins for NYC date night with Travis Kelce
She's got style. Taylor Swift stepped out for a 'low-key' date night with her NFL beau, Travis Kelce, at San Vicente West Village on Saturday in a pink-and-white tweed Balmain dress ($3,490). The minidress featured gold chain straps and gold buttons down the front. She finished her look with a beige purse and matching Christian Louboutin shoes. The sighting comes shortly after Swift, 35, dropped this telling hint about her relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs star, also 35, with a touching jewelry tribute. While on their romantic date night in New York City earlier this month, the 'Enchanted' hitmaker wore a Foundrae opal necklace charm ($2,250) around her neck, a nod to Kelce's birthstone. 'This Opal Gemstone Heart symbolizes Love. True Love binds the heart forever… The heart is love. When we open ours, we connect with others,' the bauble's description reads. She completed her stacked jewelry set with a diamond chain necklace ($15,650) and another sentimental gem: An Anita Somayaji Sagittarius necklace ($2,700). The symbol represents the 'Cruel Summer' singer's zodiac sign, but the bow-and-arrow charm also has a connection to her NFL pro boyfriend; the archer is coincidentally his signature touchdown pose. Swift also sported her diamond-covered Cartier Santos Demoiselle watch. The 'Fortnight' songstress has long been a fan of the Foundrae brand. In September 2023 — before the couple publicly confirmed their romance — she was seen wearing a different Foundrae opal charm, the brand's Forever & Always a Pair Pendant ($1,400). For the rest of her look, she wore a Reformation corset top ($168), a Miu Miu poplin miniskirt ($1,019), white pumps and a cream Mansur Gavriel purse ($595). Kelce wore a US Soccer x Nike knit polo ($105), white knee-length shorts and white sneakers.
