Veteran writer hits out at WWE for turning Bron Breakker heel: ‘Fans want to cheer for him, this is so confusing'
Bron Breakker aligned with Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman and Seth Rollins on the Raw after WrestleMania 41 in a development that left fans speechless. In doing so, he turned from being a face (heel) to being a heel (villain) and added a new dimension to his career. This has the potential to establish him as a main-eventer. However, a veteran writer is not convinced about the way WWE has handled this angle.
Vince Russo feels WWE should not have turned Bron Breakker heel
Vince Russo has been an integral part of the professional wrestling fraternity since the 90's. He has worked with promotions such as WWE and WCW. In an exclusive interview with Indiatimes, Russo slammed the Stamford-based promotion for turning Bron Breakker heel even though fans want to cheer for him.
'It is confusing. Heyman and Rollins are supposed to be heels as they screw*d CM Punk and Reigns. They have now brought Bron Breakker into the fold. It's clear that fans want to cheer for Bron,' he said.
Breakker joined Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman merely 24 hours after losing the Intercontinental title to Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania 41 He attacked Roman Reigns as the 'Head of the Table' geared up to spear Paul Heyman for betraying him and CM Punk at 'The Show of Shows'. Breakker then speared him through the barricade and also took out Punk. Russo feels that the company should have kept the title on 'The Badass'.
'He is going to be Seth Rollins' lackey. I would have kept the title on him,' he said.
Interestingly, Reigns and Punk have not been seen on WWE programming since the heel turn.
Bron Breakker destroyed Sami Zayn on this week's Raw
Seth Rollins addressed the audience on the latest episode of Raw and called himself 'the future of the company'. 'The Architect', Breaker, and Heyman were interrupted by Sami Zayn. The Canadian star called out the three men for their actions. Seth responded by asking Sami Zayn to move to SmackDown. Later in the night, Sami refused the offer and asked his former friend to 'go to hell'. Post this, Bron Breakker destroyed him in a sanctioned match by hitting him with multiple spears. Seth Rollins put an exclamation point on the beatdown by delivering a curb stomp to him.

A Dazzling Comeback
There's a reason a Nikhil Thampi creation is instantly recognisable. It doesn't whisper—it declares. Sleek, sculptural, and unapologetically individualistic, his designs stride the razor-thin line between glamour and rebellion. And now, to mark 15 years in the industry, the Mumbai-based designer unveils his latest demi-couture tour de force: NAIA—Rebirth of a Goddess. A collection forged in the fires of reinvention, NAIA is Thampi's triumphant return from a creative sabbatical. It's more than fashion—it's a manifesto. Drawing on the ancient symbol of rebirth, NAIA channels divine femininity through fluid drapes, powerful silhouettes, and Thampi's trademark attention to detail. 'It's strength reimagined, in the language of fabric,' he says. Hence, gone is the weight of traditional couture, quite literally. NAIA is designed for movement—for destination weddings, high-octane evenings, and modern women who don't have time for 40kg lehengas that gather dust post-event. Think: embellished glove sleeves, sculpted ear cuffs, and beaded pallus that turn every garment into wearable art. Many pieces feature clever multi-way necklines, allowing for transformation without compromising elegance. These are ensembles that adapt to the woman wearing them—not the other way around.

3rd public display ever for rare Dali etchings at Victoria Memorial Hall
1 2 3 4 5 6 Kolkata: The Victoria Memorial Hall has put on display two colour etchings of Salvador Dali, the only originals of the Spanish Catalan surrealist master that any museum or gallery in India possesses. The twin Dali works were among 83 original drawings, etchings, lithographs, and opaque watercolours that the New York-based Kolkata-born artist Bimal Banerjee had donated to VMH authorities in 1990. The etchings in colour are on copper plates, printed on Japanese rice paper, and signed by the artist in pencil. This is only the third time that they are being displayed in public. The two previous occasions were in 1993 and 2014. The exhibition is currently drawing art lovers and will be on till the end of July. "The two untitled colour etchings of the 'Macbeth Series' signed by Dali have been displayed in the central hall to celebrate the enduring legacy of museums and the genius of one of the most iconic artists of the 20th century," Victoria Memorial Hall secretary and curator-in-charge Anurag Kumar told TOI.

Banerjee, an accomplished artist, told TOI in 2014 that Dali presented him with the etchings. He said he donated the works to VMH to ensure that budding artists could get a chance to view original masterpieces by modern European masters.
