WWE Night Of Champions Results As Jade Cargill Wins Queen Of The Ring Over Asuka
Jade Cargill vs Asuka Jade Cargill fended off a hostile Saudi crowd to defeat Asuka and become 2025 Queen of the Ring at WWE Night of Champions. After the match, Jade said "A storm was coming' for SummerSlam." Jade Cargill is in the midst of the biggest sustained push of her WWE career to date. After being one of the early AEW free agent signings following a historic run in All Elite Wrestling, Cargill has shown flashes of brilliance while learning the ropes of the wrestling business. 'Jade is… I have no less belief in her now than I did then,' said Triple H during a Survivor Series post-show in 2023. 'It's interesting when she came in we talked about her development and where she would land but what the development was. I want to make sure that no matter what is thrown at Jade Cargill she's ready. And, at no fault of her own, I think she was limited in that, right? So the idea is, we exposed her, we made her be seen, people are understanding, and they're waiting, and they're excited for her to come. When she does, it's going to be massive.' In today's wrestling landscape, the learning curve is far steeper given the lack of WWE house shows, not to mention Jade went straight to the main roster. Given her experience, Cargill is an excellent pro wrestler with massive potential. Expectations for Jade are borderline unreasonable, and patience is a virtue in WWE as evidenced by all the times Karrion Kross was allowed to fall on his face for years before finally finding his voice. Now in a feud with Naomi and on her way to a world title match against Tiffany Stratton, Cargill's time has come. Though she was at her best as a cocky, overdog heel, Jade Cargill is one of the more popular babyfaces in WWE, and seems to be closing in on her first singles championship. That is, until Naomi inevitably cashes in, thereby continuing her first long-term feud in WWE, which is more important than any title. Naomi is heating up and doing the best work of her career as a heel. This is good for Jade Cargill as long as Naomi doesn't do too good of a job as a heel to where she is cheered. After being thrown into the deep end, only an injury slowed down Jade Cargill, and she has parlayed that return into a major WrestleMania win over Naomi, followed by her first Queen of the Ring.

Bonnie Blue Says Andrew Tate and Her 'Have a Lot in Common'
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. British sex worker Bonnie Blue told Newsweek that she and manosphere influencer Andrew Tate have a "lot in common," shortly after the two appeared on the Disruptors podcast together for a highly publicized and controversial interview. Newsweek reached out to a representative for Tate for comment on this article via email. The Context Tate is a 38-year-old British American influencer and former kickboxer. He is a self-described misogynist, and is charged with rape, human trafficking and forming an organized crime group to sexually exploit women in Romania. In the U.K., he faces additional charges involving multiple women which include rape, actual bodily harm, human trafficking and controlling prostitution for financial gain. Tate's brother Tristan faces similar charges. They deny all allegations against them. Photo-illustration by Newsweek/Getty/Canva/Instagram Blue is 26-year-old British sex worker who has developed a high profile since launching her adult film career in 2023, courting scandal and controversy before reaching the height of virality in January of 2025 after sleeping with 1,057 men in 12 hours. What To Know In a video interview with Newsweek, Blue spoke about Tate and their appearance on the Disruptors podcast. The episode, titled "Confronting Andrew Tate & Bonnie Blue: World Exclusive: Have Men Lost Their Power & Has Feminism Ruined Society," aired on Friday June 20, and was hosted by Rob Moore. The Merriam Webster dictionary definition of feminism reads: "Belief in and advocacy of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes expressed especially through organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests." In it, Tate, who has described himself as "absolutely a misogynist," as per the BBC, and stated his view that women shouldn't be able to vote on social media multiple times, said that Blue is the "End result of feminism." Asked what drew her to work with Tate, Blue told Newsweek "We have a lot in common." She continued, "I don't just mean some of our beliefs and thoughts, but in terms of we're both very hated by the public, the media paint us in the worst light possible." "Online, I'm this villain. Everyone hates me, they think I'm a predator, they think I'm disgusting," Blue said. "I'm not what the media make out," Blue told Newsweek. Addressing the allegations faced by Tate, Blue said "Yes, he has allegations against him." "But I also get told all the time I'm a predator, I'm a groomer. And there's no facts behind that. There's no evidence of that," she said, adding "The papers and the media still paint me in that light." Blue has faced accusations of predatory behavior, due to her having sex with what she has described as 'barely legal,' 18- and 19-year-olds, who she would meet at welcome weeks on college campuses in the U.K. and Australia. What People Are Saying Bonnie Blue told Newsweek: "What one person says about you online is very different to what is the truth." What's Next The brothers' trial in Britain has been fixed to start on June 22, 2026. The Tate brothers' Romanian case has been delayed after the court ordered prosecutors to reconsider certain aspects of it. The brothers may also be under federal criminal investigation in the United States, according to OCCRP.

Exclusive: Bonnie Blue on Feminism, Consent and Online Hate
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. If you've been on the internet in the past 12 months, then you've most likely heard the name Bonnie Blue. The 26-year-old British sex worker launched her OnlyFans account in 2023 and quickly became notorious online, thanks to installing herself on college campuses in the U.K. and Australia and sleeping with what she described as "barely legal" 18- and 19-year-olds. The men in question would provide proof of age and fill in consent forms, and Blue would then upload content onto OnlyFans, an online content-sharing platform that can be used to share any kind of content, such as photos, recipes and writing, but is particularly popular among sex workers. Although the men have reached the legal age of consent, outrage has ensued. Some of the young men have lost their virginity to Blue on screen, and concerns have been raised regarding both consent in this context, and the implications of this kind of sexual activity for young men. In an exclusive interview with Newsweek, Bonnie Blue discussed consent, feminism and how she deals with online hate. In an exclusive interview with Newsweek, Bonnie Blue discussed consent, feminism and how she deals with online hate. Photo-illustration by Newsweek/Getty/Canva/Instagram Toward the end of 2024, Blue, a mere year into her adult film career, had received death threats, been deported from Fiji and faced a petition to be banned from Australia. But things hit fever pitch in January of 2025 when Blue reached the height of virality after claiming to have slept with 1,057 men in 12 hours. Since then, she's become a fixture in the tabloid press and faced mounting scrutiny online, most recently receiving a permanent ban from OnlyFans. She also made it across the pond to do a tour of America, starting out in Las Vegas and then heading to Houston to appear on The Isiah Factor Uncensored. Whether you love her or hate her, it's no secret that in an attention economy, notoriety and virality are lucrative currencies. And Blue has ensured one thing with her content: you probably know her name. But who actually is Bonnie Blue? Newsweek spoke to the woman behind the headlines for an exclusive interview, where she discussed consent, feminism and how she deals with online hate. 'I wouldn't say I'm not a feminist' Blue's ascent to fame comes at a critical and complex moment for gender politics, both online and offline. In the 2010s, the internet was dominated by so-called Girlboss feminism, body positivity and the watershed of the #MeToo movement. The 2020s though, have seen a shift toward conservatism, and the embrace of traditional gender roles for women is becoming more mainstream. Things are incredibly polarized. On one side, you'll find women who say they found ultimate peace in their role as homemaker, and the surge of the so-called "trad wife." On the other, you'll find women who say they've found ultimate empowerment through sex work. Blue sits in the latter camp. "I wouldn't say I'm not a feminist," she tells Newsweek over a video interview. "I do believe women should have a voice and they should be in control," she says. "A lot of people say I actually bring women back 100 years, but I'm a clear example of a lady that's taken full control of the body." Blue continues. "This is to a certain degree, what feminism has asked for, a woman that can take control. I don't feel intimidated by men. I'm actually paid more than guys in my industry. I have a complete voice and I don't ever feel taken advantage of." The debate over sex work is one that has long raged, but thanks to the rise of OnlyFans and stars like Blue, it's made its way out of fringe feminist circles and into the mainstream. A quick search on TikTok or Instagram will soon throw up hundreds of videos debating whether or not sex work is empowering or oppressive. Such videos regularly receive hundreds of thousands of views. So too do videos by actual sex workers. Though their income is made on content that sits behind paywalls, in 2025 we're in an era of sex work social media marketing, where sex workers build prominent profiles on platforms like Instagram and TikTok to boost engagement on their paid-for content. But while this content is booming on social media algorithms, public opinion remains split. In 2020, an analysis from left-leaning think tank Data for Progress found that 52 percent of respondents said they strongly or somewhat supported decriminalization of sex work, compared with 35 percent who opposed it and 13 percent who were unsure. As for the rise of the tradwife phenomenon? Blue told Newsweek:" I don't think you have to be submissive." Blue said she knows people whose preference is to be a stay-at-home mum, doing cooking, cleaning and being given "rules" by their partner. "As long as you enjoy that, that makes you happy. I don't care that you don't want to go to work. I don't care that you don't want to feel empowered," Blue said. "But also, if a woman wants to leave the partner because the partner's being controlling and they want to earn their own money, they want to become a sex worker or they want to become a CEO of a business, then go and do that because we're in a world where you can," she added. "Women are in power, and you need to take advantage of that," Blue told Newsweek. 'I'm not a predator, I'm not a groomer' At the time of reporting, a Google search for the term "Bonnie Blue predator," yields 1.6 million results, while "Bonnie Blue groomer," yields a further 1.3 million. Concerns that Blue is furthering rape culture, and a broader culture of violence against women, have been dominant in the media since she first rose to public prominence. But one specific incident has poured gasoline on the fire. Blue was planning to organize a "petting zoo," where she would, in her words "be tied up in a glass box" with members of the public invited to go and "use" her however they saw fit. Her aim was to break her own world record and sleep with 2,000 men. A TikTok from the account @ainsleycaresalot about the petting zoo has the text overlay "Bonnie Blue's petting zoo makes me sick. This is setting women back 100 years. Its teaching men that we are just here for their pleasure,"and has has been viewed 3 million times as of reporting. A post on X, formerly Twitter, from @paniniboy7 which referred to the petting zoo as "terrifying" and calls Blue a "danger to society" has been viewed 12.5 million times. A TikTok edit from the account @definehertruth that shows Blue speaking about the petting zoo cut next to footage of women's rights marches has been viewed over 15 million times. "I get blamed for rape culture a lot, especially at the moment," Blue told Newsweek. "There's been people that have been raped," which Blue described as "terrible" before adding that said people have "spoken out and saying they blame me for their rape." "I look at that and I'm like, I'm not responsible, I wasn't the one that raped you," she said. "I get called predator all the time, and groomer. I sleep with 18-year-olds," Blue said. "I'm not a predator, I'm not a groomer." The fallout over the petting zoo came just before Blue was permanently banned from OnlyFans. In a statement given to the British outlet Metro, an OnlyFans spokesperson said: "Extreme challenge content is not available on OnlyFans and is not permitted under our Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service. Any breach of our Terms of Service results in content or account deactivation... This is why it has been necessary to take this action. We always act when users breach our terms of service." Speaking to Newsweek, Blue denied having broken any of OnlyFans terms and conditions. OnlyFans did not immediately respond to a request for comment for this article. Would she ever consider creating her own platform? "Possibly," she told Newsweek. But her next step is switching to Fansly, a platform she described as being "more sex worker friendly." "Fansly will be much better suited for me short term and long term, because they're proud of the sex workers." Addressing the criticism she has faced, Blue told Newsweek: "When you're a sex worker, you get hate, regardless. 'You're disgusting, you're a prostitute, s***, w*****,' you get it all anyway." Blue also addressed a recent rumor that has circulated about her. "I've got loads of hate saying I'm transgender," she said. Google Trends data shows that searches for "Bonnie Blue trans," began in December of 2024, but skyrocketed in mid-June, after a post went viral on X from the account @BrockRiddickIFB claiming that Blue was a transgender woman and used to go by the name of Kyle Butler. "I just look at that and think, how can I be offended? How can I be taking your comments to heart? Because I'm not transgender," she said. "So why should I be bothered that so many uneducated people are just going to make up rumors?" Blue added: "If the hate comments was valid and they had facts behind them, I'd probably be offended. But when it is just coming from poorly, uneducated people that know nothing about me, I'm like, how can I be hurt by them? I just find them entertaining." When asked if her content falls into the genre of rage bait, a tactic used to elicit online outrage to increase traffic and engagement, she told Newsweek: "I'm purposely playing it for sure." "Rage bait is good because people are so stupid," Blue said. "They're so poorly educated at times that I just play off that. If more people was clever, I wouldn't be as successful as I am." Consent is the 'most important thing' Asked whether she believes what she describes as "barely legal adults" fully understand the implications of being involved in public sex work, Blue said: "Yeah, 100 percent." "18-year-olds have been brought up with the internet," she said. "They understand digital footprint." "I find it very hypocritical when the older generation say 'they don't understand the internet.'" Blue said. "But I can guarantee you the first time they have a question about the internet or online things, they're going to be asking their son or daughter because they know the younger generation have a much better understanding." "If an 18-year-old murdered someone, they'll be tried at adult court. So they're allowed to have sex. Sex is actually not a massive thing," she told Newsweek. Asked what responsibility she has to her audience, Blue told Newsweek "consent." "Discussing consent, discussing, what's OK, what's not OK," she said. "Before I've met someone, when I meet someone during the video, during any intercourse with someone, I'll be like, are you OK or you enjoying this? Are you having a good time, let me know if you're comfortable," she said. Blue told Newsweek that consent is the "most important thing."
