The potential grand WWE plans behind abrupt end to Jey Uso's championship reign
Uso, just 51 days after finally slaying Gunther at WrestleMania 41 to win the World Heavyweight championship for the first time, lost the title back to The Ring General, who put him to sleep in the middle of the ring.
I couldn't help but think of the popular Kingston, who lost his first WWE championship after 107 days to Brock Lesnar in 2019 on the season premiere of 'SmackDown' on Fox, and Big E, who lost his first WWE championship to Lesnar at Day 1 in 2022 so The Beast and Roman Reigns could main event WrestleMania 38 and unify their belts.

Both, like Uso, were wrestlers who were over with the audience, but just didn't feel like big enough stars for WWE to put sustained faith in them at the top of the card when the company had grander plans for the championships. At least Big E and Kingston went over 100 days.

Why ESPN and Fox don't want their new streamers to be massive hits
Fox stayed out of the streaming wars for years. Now it's jumping in with Fox One, its $20-a-month service that launches August 21. But if you're going to wait until years after everyone else to start streaming, you probably have pretty big ambitions. Right, Lachlan Murdoch? Nope! "Our aspirations for Fox One subscribers are modest," the Fox CEO told investors on Tuesday, adding that the company will be making a "measured investment" in the service. Translation: Please don't make too much of this. OK. What about Disney, which is finally launching its ESPN streamer for $30 a month in the next few weeks? Disney holds its quarterly earnings call Wednesday morning, so we'll have to wait until then to officially compare hype levels. But my educated hunch is that CEO Bob Iger will also go out of his way not to over-promise the prospects for that service: When ESPN unveiled its years-in-the-making launch plans in May, it was at a very low-key event, devoid of almost all glitz. The difference between these launches and the ones we saw at the beginning of the streaming wars, six or seven years ago, is quite striking. Back then, big media companies rolled out new services with a galaxy of high-wattage stars, and tripped all over themselves to explain how much they were spending to catch up with Netflix. New subscribers would pour in by the tens of millions a year, they promised. And yes, they'd lose a bunch of money along the way. But if you've been paying attention to the streaming business over this time, the change is quite understandable. Back in the early days of streaming, media companies thought Wall Street would reward them if they copied Netflix's "grow like crazy, figure out profits later" strategy. Instead, investors decided they didn't want growth at all costs, and pushed streamers to run their businesses like … businesses. Which is partly why Murdoch reminded investors Tuesday that Fox One will be very cheap to launch, since there's nothing on the service that isn't already on existing Fox-owned channels. But the other part of the messaging reflects the other reality at Disney and Fox: They would both like people to buy streaming services from them — but only if it doesn't cut into their old business of selling cable TV subscriptions. That's because while cable TV is dying — (Would you like to buy a cable TV network? Make an offer!) — it still remains very profitable for the companies that sell it. That's why both ESPN and Fox officials take great pains to explain that they don't think the services they're selling will convince a cable TV subscriber to cut the cord. Instead, they argue, this is for people who don't already have pay TV. This isn't subtext. It's right out in public. "We do not want to lose a traditional cable subscriber to FOX One, and we're doing everything we can to make sure, as much as humanly possible, that that's the way we market, and that's the way we plan the business," Murdoch told investors three months ago. You can also see the needle-threading in the pricing for these services: In the past, new streamers launched at $10 a month or less, hoping to grab lots of market share. Now, Fox and Disney are coming in at double and triple that, at least in part so that they don't undercut the pricing of much bigger bundles sold through traditional cable. So who might actually buy this stuff? We'll see. ESPN's service might appeal to college football fans, since the service has deals to show lots of games from marquee teams and leagues. NFL fans may be a little more frustrated, since ESPN will only have a slice of the season's games. And as for Fox One: In theory, you might have people signing up to get Fox's weekly lineup of NFL games. But it seems most likely that the service is meant primarily to appeal to "people who like Fox News but either don't get cable or want to ditch cable and just get Fox News." If it's the former group, Murdoch will be happy. But if it's from the second …

Brooke Hogan asked out of Hulk Hogan's will over family fears: ‘I don't know how deep this stuff goes'
Brooke Hogan has opened up about why she removed herself from Hulk Hogan's will in 2023. 'I was now pregnant with twins and married, and my husband's family is so kind and so sweet. And I have something to lose, money didn't matter,' the daughter of the WWE icon said Tuesday on former Hulk friend Bubba the Love Sponge's show. 'I was sobbing, and I just said, 'Take me off everything, I don't want to be a part of it.'' Hulk, whose real name was Terry Bollea, died at the age of 71 on July 24 after a cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Fla. Brooke, 37, said she took herself off the will to avoid potential conflicts with other family members, including her mother, Linda Hogan, and Hulk's third wife, Sky Daily. Brooke expressed concern because Linda 'has been known to kind of find herself in the mix with things like that,' and because she had heard that Daily was a Scientologist, and knew the organization had 'powerful backing.' Brooke Hogan and Hulk Hogan on Dec. 15, 2006. MediaPunch/Shutterstock 'I'm like, 'I don't want to fight Linda, I don't want to find Scientology, I don't want somebody that I love to get knocked off, I don't know how deep this stuff goes,'' Brooke said. 'It scared me, and I just said, 'I want out.'' She did qualify that remark by saying she had 'no problem' with Daily, who she said was always nice to her. She then added that she hopes her father would have trusted her with his intellectual property and trademarks, because she 'would have done the right thing.' Brooke Hogan and Hulk Hogan on Dec. 2, 2006. REUTERS 'I would have made him an Elvis legacy, or a Marilyn Monroe legacy, or a Selena [Quintanilla-Perez] legacy,' she said. 'And I hope that whoever has his marks does that. I just know that the people around him are pretty shady and not in his best interest.' Brooke was not in attendance at Hogan's 2023 wedding with Daily, and TMZ reported that Brooke and Hulk had their last conversation two weeks before the wedding. In an Instagram post last week, Brooke honored her father in a post that said: 'You were my everything and I will always be your daughter – for all the love, light and goodness you brought into this world.'

AEW Veteran Reportedly Sidelined With Serious Injury
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 fairytale TNT Championship reign of Dustin Rhodes has come to a tragic and premature end. A new report has confirmed that the wrestling veteran is set to undergo double knee surgery and will be out of action until at least 2026. This news comes just days after Rhodes lost the championship to Kyle Fletcher in a brutal street fight on AEW Collision. His reign, which began with an emotional victory at All In: Texas, has been cut short after just one successful defense. A Brutal End To A Fairytale Reign On the July 26th episode of AEW Collision, Dustin Rhodes defended his TNT Title against Kyle Fletcher of the Don Callis Family. During the violent street fight, Fletcher hit Rhodes in the head with a screwdriver before delivering a Brainbuster to capture the championship. After the match, Fletcher continued the assault, targeting Rhodes' knee. The segment ended with the former champion being taken away on a stretcher. Rhodes later confirmed on social media that he would need a "very invasive major surgery" and shut down any speculation that the injury was just a storyline. We couldn't be more proud of you, @DustinRhodes. Get well soon! — All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) August 3, 2025 The "Natural": A Legendary Career Dustin Rhodes has had one of the most unique and enduring careers in wrestling history.

An Emotional Championship Victory His long journey culminated last month at the All In: Texas pay-per-view at Globe Life Field. In an emotional and surprising moment, Dustin Rhodes won a multi-man match to capture the TNT Championship, his first major singles title in AEW. The fairytale victory was seen as a well-deserved reward for a lifetime of dedication to the business. Unfortunately, that dream run was cut tragically short by this legitimate injury. The wrestling world now wishes the legendary "Natural" a full and speedy recovery. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.
