Pearce announced the match on X, formerly known as Twitter. He also revealed that Becky Lynch will appear live on the upcoming edition of WWE RAW at the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island to discuss her triple threat match at Evolution 2.
The rivalry for the Women's Intercontinental Title has grown intense since Lynch defeated Valkyria at Money in the Bank. Lynch has defended the title only once so far against Bayley which ended in a disqualification when Valkyria interfered.
This led to a match between Bayley and Valkyria on RAW last week, which ended in a double pin. The match outcome led to a wild brawl all over the arena between the two. Now, with all three women set to battle for the title at WWE Evolution 2, it will be interesting to see what Lynch has to say ahead of the big match this weekend.

Fred Warner is voted the top off-ball linebacker in the NFL by AP writers
Whether it's stopping the run game, dropping into pass coverage or even rushing the quarterback, Fred Warner thrives for the San Francisco 49ers. Warner's strong all-around play for San Francisco helped him win the honor of being voted the top off-ball linebacker in the league by The Associated Press. A panel of eight AP Pro Football Writers ranked the top five players at off-ball linebacker, basing selections on current status entering the 2025 season. First-place votes were worth 10 points. Second- through fifth-place votes were worth 5, 3, 2 and 1 points. Warner got seven of the eight first-place votes to go with one second to win the voting easily. Three other players were selected on all eight ballots, with Baltimore's Roquan Smith getting the other first-place vote to come in second, Philadelphia's Zack Baun finishing third and Washington's Bobby Wagner coming in fourth. Indianapolis' Zaire Franklin rounded out the top five. New Orleans' Demario Davis, Denver's Dre Greenlaw, Minnesota's Blake Cashman and Pittsburgh's Patrick Queen also received votes. 1. FRED WARNER, San Francisco 49ers Despite playing most of last season with a broken bone in his ankle, Warner still performed at a high level and earned his third straight and fourth overall first-team All-Pro honor. Warner had 131 tackles, five tackles for loss, two interceptions, seven passes defensed and four forced fumbles last season. Warner has 10 sacks, 10 interceptions, 15 forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries, 36 tackles for loss and 53 passes defensed in his first seven seasons. He is one of three active players with at least 10 sacks, interceptions and forced fumbles, along with Minnesota safety Harrison Smith and Tampa Bay linebacker Lavonte David. 2. ROQUAN SMITH, Baltimore Ravens The midseason trade in 2022 that sent Smith from Chicago to Baltimore helped lift the Ravens' defense by solidifying the middle of the field. In 41 games with Baltimore, Smith has 398 tackles, five sacks, three interceptions and 15 passes defensed as he has earned first-team All-Pro honors the past three seasons. 3. ZACK BAUN, Philadelphia Eagles After struggling to get on the field on defense as an edge rusher his first four seasons in New Orleans, Baun was a revelation at linebacker in his first year with the Eagles. He had 151 tackles, 3 1/2 sacks and one interception in the regular season and also had a pick against Patrick Mahomes in the Eagles' Super Bowl win. Baun earned All-Pro honors, finished fifth in voting for the AP Defensive Player of the Year award and cashed in with a three-year, $51 million deal in the offseason. 4. BOBBY WAGNER, Washington Commanders Coach Dan Quinn brought his former linebacker from Seattle to Washington in his first season as coach of the Commanders for veteran leadership. Wagner, who turned 35 last month, showed he can still perform at a high level. Wagner had his 13th straight season with at least 100 tackles and earned his fifth second-team All-Pro selection to go along with six first-team picks. Only Reggie White (13) and Jim Otto (12) have been picked as a first or second-team All-Pro more than Wagner. 5. ZAIRE FRANKLIN, Indianapolis Colts Franklin led the NFL with 173 tackles last season, becoming the second player since at least 2000 with three straight seasons with at least 165 tackles. His 518 tackles in three seasons since becoming a full-time starter in 2022 are the most in the NFL in that span. ___ AP NFL:

Greg Sankey says CFP could stay at 12 teams ‘if we can't agree' on expanded format
ATLANTA — SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said Monday that expansion of the College Football Playoff is not a done deal, and that the format could just remain at 12 if he and other commissioners, especially his Big Ten counterpart, cannot agree on an expanded format. At the moment, they do not. Sankey's remarks came during a question-and-answer period on the first day of SEC media days. And based on what he said, it now appears the SEC sides with the Big 12, ACC and Group of 5 on the preferred format, leaving the Big Ten alone in preferring a model heavy on automatic bids. Advertisement 'We had a different view coming out of (SEC meetings) around the notion of allocations, if you will,' Sankey said, meaning automatic bids. 'I think you'll probably hear that again from our coaches. The Big Ten has a different view, that's fine.' Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti has proposed a format where the Big Ten and SEC would get four automatic bids to the CFP, the ACC and Big 12 two apiece, and one more for the highest-ranked champion of another conference. The rest of the bids would be at-large, with the field expanding to 14 or 16. Other conferences prefer a '5+11' model, with automatic bids for the five highest-ranked conference champions and 11 at-large bids. Either way, a 16-team format appeared to have enough momentum that it seemed a foregone conclusion. That still could be the case, but Sankey pushed back on it Monday. 'We have a 12-team Playoff, five conference champions. That could stay if we can't agree,' Sankey said. 'I think there's this notion that there has to be this magic moment and something has to happen with expansion.' The SEC and Big Ten have the authority to essentially put in their preferred format in the CFP beginning with the 2026 season, according to a memorandum of understanding agreed to last year. But they also have to consult with the other conferences, Sankey pointed out. He said he spoke about three times last week with ACC commissioner Jim Phillips, and about four times with Petitti. He did not say whether he spoke with the Big 12's Brett Yormark, whose conference had media days last week. 'We don't need unanimity. And ultimately if (there isn't unanimity) there's a level of authority granted to the SEC and the Big Ten together,' Sankey said. 'But there's a lot to that. It's not you just show up, you pound your fist and something happens. I hope that type of narrative can be reduced. But we'll keep talking. We talk a lot. Probably too much sometimes.' Advertisement Sankey also reiterated that the SEC schedule format would be tied to the CFP selection. The SEC currently plays eight conference games, and has been considering going to nine games ever since adding Oklahoma and Texas. But debate over finances, and now what it means for the CFP selection process, has held it up. 'I don't believe there's anyone looking to swap their conference schedule and its opponents with the SEC's … be it eight or nine,' Sankey said. 'We're going to continue to evaluate whether increasing our number of conference games is appropriate for us. And as I've said repeatedly, understanding how the CFP will evaluate strength of schedule and strength of record is critically important in our decision making.'

James Gunn Explains the Circumstances Where His Superman Might Kill Someone — GeekTyrant
James Gunn's Superman is finally here, and it's looking like the DCU is off to a strong start. With David Corenswet donning the cape and a stacked cast including Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, and Nathan Fillion, this rebooted take on the Man of Steel already is very different, brighter, more hopeful, and a little weirder. But don't assume that means Gunn is softening Superman's edges completely. At a recent Wired Q&A, Gunn was asked directly about whether his Superman would ever kill. After reading a card that asked, 'Why doesn't Superman kill?', Gunn turned to Corenswet but answered the question himself: 'I believe he believes in a basic right to life. I mean, I think that's just not in him.' However, Gunn quickly followed up with some added complexity: 'I think that if, for instance, he had to kill to protect somebody's life, he would probably do that, even though that would be hard for him.' So no, we're not likely to see a trigger-happy Kryptonian, but Gunn is leaving the door open for morally grey situations where Superman might make an impossible choice. This echoes the divisive moment in Zack Snyder's Man of Steel , where Henry Cavill's Superman kills General Zod to save innocent lives. Snyder stood by that decision in a GQ interview last year, arguing: 'Zod wasn't going to stop. He would fight [Superman] until either he killed him or Superman killed Zod… If Superman can't handle that position, then he's fake… He had to address the scenarios that come to him. He doesn't get to pick and choose when something is outside of your morality.' Whether you love or hate that moment, Gunn seems to be acknowledging a similar reality. This new Superman may face choices with no clean outcomes. It's not about abandoning his values. It's about what happens when those values are pushed to the brink. Interestingly, Corenswet himself has expressed interest in exploring a darker path for the character in future projects. In a previous interview, he said he'd love to see his Superman in an R-rated setting. That doesn't mean we're heading toward a hyper-violent Superman movie, but in the world Gunn is building, it's clear that even the most virtuous hero might face the kind of dilemma that makes him question everything.
