Rollins tweaked his knee, quickly grabbing his right leg and collapsing in the ring. Despite the injury, he pushed through to finish the match, but Knight took advantage and secured a pinfall with his BFT move. Afterward, Rollins was seen backstage on crutches, sporting a knee brace. Speculations are currently doing the rounds that by taking advantage of the situation, Seth Rollins' WWE faction would betray him.

Cindy Sherman Reconsiders Face Value at Hauser & Wirth Menorca
On the sun-drenched island of Menorca,Hauser & WirthmountsCindy Sherman. The Women, the artist's long-awaited solo return to Spain. Now on view through October 26, the exhibition traces her four-decade investigation into the performance of femininity, fame and the fractured mirror of identity, serving up a feast of eclectic characters ofSherman's own making. Like Clare Booth Luce's 1936 Broadway play, which the exhibition was named after, Sherman'sThe Womenpresents a barbed portrait of women's relationships with one another, dissecting the ways her characters see and are seen by the world around them. Her work probes the roles women are asked to play, the images they inhabit and the many gaze(s) that shape their self-perception, disrupting the, often gendered, subject-object binaries that undergird the medium's traditions in a delightfully unapologetic approach to self-portraiture. Featuring early student projects likeBus RidersandMurder Mystery(1976), her breakoutUntitled Film Stills(1977–1980) and later series such asOminous Landscapes(2010), the exhibition charts Sherman's clairvoyant understanding of visual identity across eras. Earlier works parody mid-century cinema and media tropes, while later images toy with ideas of luxury, aging and digital artifice, though what's threaded throughout is a persistent critique of performative identity — its illusions, demands and ever-evolving glamour. In a time when identity is crafted and consumed through digital feeds and stories, Sherman's work remains uncannily prescient. Amid this culture of continuous curation, her portraits emerge as clairvoyant warnings, urging us to reflect on what remains beneath the roles we perform.

Inside Laura Woods' life off screen including Love Island star fiancé
Laura Woods is one of the most recognisable faces on TV when it comes to football presenting The Women's Euro 2025 has officially kicked off, with an exciting tournament expected as the Lionesses strive to retain their European Champions title. Wales have also made their first appearance in the competition, having qualified for the first time. The tournament got underway on Wednesday, July 2, at the Arena Thun stadium and will host 34 matches before a champion is crowned. England and Wales will join 14 other nations in the quest to lift the trophy on July 27. The final will be held at St Jakob-Park stadium in Basel, Switzerland, conveniently located near the Eurovision final venue. ITV has announced Laura Woods as part of its punditry team, following her successful stint covering major sporting events on the channel. The 36 year old, originally from Dagenham in London, is also well-known for hosting talkSPORT's breakfast show, where she formed a brilliant partnership with co-presenter Ally McCoist, reports Lancs Live. Laura commanded the 6am-10am breakfast slot on talkSPORT for three years, during which she garnered several awards, including the esteemed ARIAS Best Speech Breakfast Show and the SJA Sports Presenter of the Year twice. In July 2023, Laura revealed she was leaving talkSPORT to take up the role of lead presenter for TNT Sports' Champions League and boxing coverage. She also covered the Olympics and some Premier League matches. Laura embarked on her television career in 2009, beginning as a runner at Sky Sports before working her way through numerous positions within sports broadcasting. She has now established herself as one of the most familiar figures in English football presentation, progressing through the ranks at Sky Sports to secure prominent roles as both presenter and touchline reporter for their Premier League coverage. Laura's expertise eventually led her beyond Sky Sports as demand for her presenting talents grew. She joined DAZN to front Women's Champions League and Matchroom boxing coverage, whilst also spearheading ITV's Women's World Cup presentation. Despite her passionate Arsenal allegiance, Laura was drawn to TNT Sports' fan-focused philosophy. Discussing her excitement about the position, she revealed: "I think the thing that sold me the most was they want to be near the fans, they want to be by the fans. And I think for me as a presenter, what I've really enjoyed is that rough and ready presenting. Going to the ground, being amongst the fans - it's different, isn't it? You can't replicate it in a studio." Laura's family life Away from the cameras, Laura and former Love Island star Adam Collard welcomed their first child together, son Leo Ernie Collard, in January 2025. The pair went public with their romance in October 2023 before becoming engaged twelve months later in St Ives, Cornwall - described as the "place they fell in love". Last summer, Laura made the personal choice to keep her pregnancy under wraps while covering Euro 2024 for ITV, despite being in the know. Speaking to The Times, she confessed: "It was constant, the morning sickness was quite difficult to battle and I was exhausted all the time. "It didn't matter how much sleep you actually got, you'd still be knackered. At least there were rest days when I was able to just chill out in my [hotel] room. "I would have liked to keep it quiet for a little bit longer but I really felt like I couldn't any more and now I've done it it's a relief." Laura Woods' rugby ex Before finding love with her current partner Adam, Laura had a long-standing relationship with Alex Corbisiero, an ex-England rugby star known for his participation in the triumphant 2013 Lions tour of Australia. The duo ended their eight-year romance, with Laura indicating that they were too close for comfort, leading to her decision to part ways. Alex, who has celebrated Premiership glory, bravely battled testicular cancer diagnosed in 2019 and joyfully shared his two-year cancer-free milestone on social media in 2022. He is currently imparting his expertise as a scrum coach for San Diego Legion and contributes to rugby broadcasting stateside.
