WWE Pulls Off Biggest Surprise As Roman Reigns Makes Grand Comeback
Roman Reigns returns to WWE Raw, saving CM Punk and Jey Uso from Seth Rollins' goons.
The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) pulled off the biggest surprise for fans during the latest episode of Monday Night Raw on July 14, as superstar Roman Reigns stunned everyone by making a comeback. A jam-packed crowd at the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama, couldn't believe their eyes seeing the former WWE Champion and Tribal Chief Roman Reigns return after months.
Away from the spotlight since WrestleMania 41, Reigns got the whole arena erupting in shock and disbelief once his music started playing towards the dying moments of the Gauntlet match between CM Punk and Bron Breakker.
The powerful wrestler stormed into the ring and rescued Punk and his cousin Jey Uso after Seth Rollins' goons, Breakker and Bronson Reed, started attacking them. The show closed with fans anticipating more of Reigns at the WWE with the marquee SummerSlam event at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, to be held in a few weeks.
The rumours are that Reigns was always part of the company's planning for the SummerSlam in New York and thus returned with the Monday Night Raw in Alabama, drawing the episode to a fantastic closure while also providing a snapshot of what viewers can expect at the upcoming WWE special.
Punk and Breakker had entered an intense fight in the final leg of the Guntlet match to determine who would face Gunther for the World Heavyweight title at SummerSlam. The two wrestlers gave each other a hard time, landing heavy blows on each other.
Fans enjoyed the captivating showdown before Punk eventually came out triumphant.
It is when Reigns arrived to everyone's disbelief. The music quickly died down as Reigns rushed to the ring to save Punk and his cousin, Uso, assisting him in standing up.
Reigns even seemed to get along well with Punk, having previously had problems with him. What fans are now anticipating is one of the greatest events of the year, with a potential Reigns versus Breakker clash.

Dhurandhar BTS: How An Army Of 500 People Built Pakistan's Streets In Thailand
The production designer and his crew worked on the design from March to May, and the shooting began in July. Dhurandhar, the upcoming spy-action drama directed by Aditya Dhar, has been making waves ever since its official teaser dropped. Featuring a powerhouse ensemble cast, Ranveer Singh, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal and Akshaye Khanna, the film is reportedly set in 1970s-80s Pakistan and promises a gripping mix of bloodshed, intense action and high-voltage drama. But while the teaser has fans hooked, what went on behind the scenes to bring those massive, immersive sets to life is just as fascinating. Recently, during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Dhurandhar's production designer, Saini S Johray, opened up about recreating Pakistani lanes in Thailand for the film. It took him nearly three months to complete the 'massive" sets for Dhurandhar. He and his crew worked on the design from March to May, recce in June, and the shooting began in July. He also claimed that his team of 12 designers worked 12 hours a day, as the film was so massive. 'I think in my career, it's one of those films that has the maximum number of locations," said Johray. Furthermore, he explained how they recreated Pakistani streets, stating that they used newspaper cuttings, old movies and headlines to grasp the geography of the specific area in Pakistan. Then they built a 6-acre set in Thailand and a huge one on Madh Island. Why did they choose Thailand to create the sets? The designer shared that they couldn't shoot in Mumbai with such a huge cast, and also were unable to shoot in a studio since they required a large 6-acre location. Furthermore, the shooting dates were in July, which meant that Mumbai would be experiencing heavy monsoons, so they couldn't build a set there. Therefore, they came to Thailand, where the stunning landscape was ideal for them to create a larger-than-life set. Around 500 Thai people worked day and night for 20 days to create the massive Bhindi Bazaar set in Thailand. Talking about the process, the designer added, 'Thai people have no idea how Bhindi Bazaar looks, therefore I had to make sure everything looked really authentic and not at all like Thailand. If you look at the teaser, you won't notice it!" Dhurandhar is set to hit the big screens on December 5, 2025.

Lewis Hamilton Shares Pic Of BTS' Jimin In Dior Outfit From His Collection; ARMY Is Obsessed
Last Updated: Lewis Hamilton shared BTS' Jimin in an outfit from his Dior collection, sparking massive fan frenzy online and calls for a crossover collab. Two of the world's most influential stars, Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton and BTS member Jimin, just collided in the most fashionable way, and the internet is obsessed. Hamilton recently took to his Instagram Stories to share a photo of Jimin wearing an outfit from his very own Dior menswear collection. The seven-time F1 world champion, who has been collaborating with Dior Men's artistic director Kim Jones, captioned the story with a simple handshake emoji and the phrase 'my Dior collection." That minimal acknowledgment was all it took for both ARMYs and motorsport fans to lose their minds. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JIMIN (@j.m) Social media instantly lit up with excitement. 'We need them to MEET," one fan posted, while another wrote, 'My two favorite people." One particularly dramatic (and relatable) comment summed it up: 'Broooo I am Shocket." Jimin, who is already a global ambassador for Dior, is no stranger to donning sleek, tailored pieces from the fashion house. But this time, fans were extra hyped knowing that the look came from Hamilton's personal line. 'OUR DIOR GLOBAL AMBASSADOR THEE PARK JIMIN—THANK YOU LEWIS HAMILTON for the acknowledgement," one fan gushed. The crossover moment is a testament to Hamilton's growing influence outside the world of motorsport. Known for blending streetwear with high fashion, the racing icon continues to cement his place in pop culture, and now, possibly in the K-pop universe too. As for Jimin, his status as a fashion and music icon only continues to rise. From global brand deals to jaw-dropping performances, he has become a trendsetter with an unmatched global reach. Fans are now manifesting a full Dior campaign featuring both Hamilton and Jimin. And judging by the buzz around this single post, that dream might not be too far off.
