5 fights of Ethan Page after his promotion to WWE Raw, including CM Punk

On this week’s edition of Monday Night Raw, rumors of a move to the main roster became reality when it was officially revealed that former NXT Champion Ethan Page is now a member of the roster. The red brand now has a performer with tons of experience, someone with a great wardrobe, and a wrestler who can work well in any style.

Now that the NXT and AEW veteran is on the WWE main roster, it’s the perfect time to take a look at some of the feuds we can’t wait to see Paige create in the coming months and years.

Ethan Page can be animated when pushed, but for the most part, he is a cool, calm, and cocky character. That’s why a showdown with “The Samoan Werewolf” Jacob Fatu would be so much fun. Fatu is such an intense and unpredictable artist that it can force some hilarious reactions off the page.

Additionally, it will be interesting to see Page work with a larger but athletic opponent. Something that he has rarely done in the last five years.

CM Punk won’t be around much longer, so it would be nice to see him mixing it up more often against some of the rising talent instead of the elite guys on the roster. The clash of personalities would make for some great television, and Page somehow gaining the upper hand at the end of the feud could help create a new main event player in WWE.

Ethan Page is so good at being an annoyingly despicable heel that a fan favorite like Jey Uso is a natural enemy at some point. Plus, being a pain in the neck for such a beloved character would help elevate Page as one of Raw’s top bad guys. Also, the matches will be entertaining.

Don’t be surprised if you see this rivalry playing out on your TV screens by the autumn.

Page rarely encountered supernatural characters during his career. In WWE, he will eventually face many people. Some are silly, like Danhausen, and others are downright scary, like Uncle Howdy. The rivalry with Howdy could be very interesting, and Page could get far better matches against the Wyatt Six leader than other foes. This could be a win-win for both characters.

The Miz

Very rarely do heels fight each other. However, with Page looking like the next generation version of The Miz, the pair hating on each other would be no surprise, nor would future clashes in the ring. It might be even better if WWE drew obvious parallels, with Miz suggesting that Page is here to take his place or is a younger version of the future Hall of Famer.

Tiger Woods fights to keep prescription drug records out of prosecutors’ hands

Golf great Tiger Woods and his legal team are pushing back against Florida prosecutors in his ongoing DUI case, arguing that a subpoena for his prescription drug records represents an unconstitutional intrusion into his privacy.

Martin County prosecutors have subpoenaed Woods’ prescription records from a Palm Beach pharmacy for the period from Jan. 1 to March 27, 2026.

Details requested include types of medications, prescription fill dates and times, number of pills dispensed, dosage amounts, refill information, and any special instructions or warnings – especially those related to driving a motor vehicle. The latter of these seems highly relevant to the case.

Woods’ attorney, Douglas Duncan, filed a formal response this week, requesting an evidentiary hearing to determine the relevance of the records and, if the subpoena is ultimately granted, a protective order to protect the information from public disclosure. They argue that Woods has a constitutional right to privacy.

Duncan wrote, “This right is certainly not absolute; should the State show the relevance of the record to its criminal investigation and thus warrant an intrusion into Mr. Woods’s privacy, the State is not entitled to receive the record.”

Tiger Woods battles prosecutors over confidentiality of prescription records in DUI case

Woods, like player As readers know, he was arrested following a single vehicle rollover accident in Jupiter Island, Florida on March 27. Officers reported finding two hydrocodone pills in his pocket during his arrest, and Woods admitted to taking several medications earlier that day. He was charged with misdemeanor DUI and refusing a chemical or physical test.

According to the arrest affidavit, Woods attempted to pass a truck by crossing the double line and speeding, striking the vehicle and flipping his Range Rover onto its side. No one was seriously injured in the incident.

“I looked down at my phone … and all of a sudden – acceleration,” Woods said in the bodycam footage.

Officers at the scene observed “severe signs of impairment”, including bloodshot eyes, extremely dilated pupils, excessive sweating and an unsteady gait. A breathalyzer test found no alcohol, but Woods refused blood or urine tests to check for other substances. Officers later found pills in his pocket.

The 15-time major champion pleaded not guilty to the charges shortly after the incident and publicly vowed to seek treatment. Days after the accident, his private plane was seen landing in Switzerland, which is known for its elite medical facilities.

The outcome of the privacy challenge could significantly impact how prosecutors make their impaired driving arguments.

Terence Crawford reveals dream fights for Devin Haney, Shakur Stevenson and Tank Davis

Terence Crawford has named the fights he wants to see before the end of 2026, and his comments have attracted widespread attention in boxing. Retired five-division world champion and former pound-for-pound No. 1, Terence Crawford, shared his thoughts in a recent interview.

He retired after defeating Canelo Alvarez to become undisputed at super-middleweight. His record and achievements continue to add weight to his opinion. Fans and analysts reacted after listing three matchups involving fighters active in different divisions. Each pairing consists of athletes who are currently competing at a high level and have been in the headline discussion in the sport.

“It’s hard to say because there are so many big fights still to come. I would love to see Keyshawn Davis vs. Devin Haney. I would love to see ‘Bam [Jesse Rodriguez] versus [Naoya] Inoue, and I would love to see Shakur [Stevenson] versus [Gervonta] ‘Tank’ Davis.”

Keyshawn Davis vs. Devin Haney

Keyshawn Davis and Devin Haney are both active in the welterweight division. Haney is a former undisputed lightweight champion and now holds the 147-pound world title. He continues to wrestle dominant fights in the division and remains a part of ongoing title conversations.

Davis is a rising contender who has called up great opponents while building his professional record. He is scheduled to face Nahir Albright in a rematch on May 16 in Norfolk. A potential bout between Davis and Haney would pit an up-and-coming fighter against an established champion. Both fighters are active and continue to compete against ranked opponents within their division. Their names remain present in discussions regarding future title fights.

jessie rodriguez vs naoya inoue

Jessie Rodriguez and Naoya Inoue are among the leading fighters in their weight classes. Rodriguez currently holds super-flyweight titles and has gained recognition through recent performances. Inoue has won world titles in multiple divisions and continues to compete at a high level.

In his next fight, he will face Junto Nakatani. The matchup between Rodriguez and Inoue would involve two active champions from different divisions. Both fighters remain part of ongoing title discussions and continue to face top level competition. Their achievements have made them among the most recognized names in their respective weight categories.

Shakur Stevenson vs. Gervonta Davis

Shakur Stevenson and Gervonta Davis are established fighters competing in the lightweight and light-welterweight divisions. Stevenson currently holds the 140-pound world title and remains active in scheduled fights. Davis is a multi-division champion and remains a major talking point regarding the bouts.

There have been talks about a possible bout between Stevenson and Davis, but no official fight has been confirmed.

Crawford’s comments identify three matchups involving fighters active in different divisions. Each pairing consists of athletes who are currently competing, holding titles, or pursuing title opportunities. These fights remain part of the ongoing discussions within boxing as the 2026 schedule is developed.

5 possible fights for rumored comebacks

It has been a year since Chris Jericho stepped into the AEW ring. At first, he had gone on tour with his band Fozzie and was expected to return. However, as the fall approached, speculation grew that his time in All Elite Wrestling was coming to an end and that he would return to the company that made him a household name, WWE.

But the wind of rumors seems to be changing again. Earlier this year, reports surfaced that AEW had voided his contract as part of a strategy to keep him away from WWE. He has also remained on the company’s roster page. But then last week the wrestling legend applied to trademark the phrase “Cornerstone.” A potential moniker that would seem far more fitting in AEW than a return to WWE.

On Wednesday, Fightful reported that “Jericho has been discussed internally for a return to AEW.” With AEW: Dynamite airing this week in the city where he was born, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, fans and pundits are beginning to believe that the former AEW World Champion could be returning to the company soon.

If he does make a surprise return on Dynamite or in the near future, let’s take a look at five AEW feuds we would like to see Chris Jericho in upon his return.

In the new year, AEW creative has made a strong push to establish Jack Perry as a singles star and the National Championship reign is proof of that. Additionally, he was once seen as a long-term building block with Darby Allin, MJF, and Sammy Guevara.

A re-emerging building block on the legendary “Cornerstone” would make sense and would be a great way to put Perry and his title into a bigger feud.

Brody King is another star who gets a significant push in 2026. After losing his match against Swerve Strickland at Revolution, the company needs to keep Reigns strong and avoid losing momentum. Potentially moving him into a fight with a veteran and multiple-time world champion would do that. Jericho can provide a lot of knowledge to the quickly rising Jericho star in a lengthy rivalry.

Tommaso Ciampa

With Jericho being one of the original members of the roster, there are few AEW wrestlers he has not faced. However, one of the few survivors is new member Tommaso Ciampa. The 55-year-old is far from his peak, with Ciampa offering a nice stylistic struggle in the ring that is more than his speed. But, word-of-mouth communication between talented storytellers can be even better.

With Adam Page officially out of the world title picture after his loss to MJF at Revolution, AEW must start planning ways to keep AEW great in meaningful feuds that don’t involve the top belt. Page and Jericho last feuded in 2019, early in the company’s history. The two are different people now, and reigniting that rivalry could make for some entertaining TV in the coming months.

Ricochet

Chris Jericho, one of the other AEW stars, has yet to face dynamic aerial artist Ricochet. On paper, he appears to be at a very high athletic level for a Canadian player at this stage of his career. However, veteran wrestlers can step into the ring and create magic with performers at any speed and power level.

It will be interesting to see how they can plan a match that showcases the strengths of both men, but at the very least, it will be something new and different.

Tyson Fury opens up on possible super fights with Jon Jones, Anthony Joshua

Tyson Fury is set to return to boxing on April 11, 2026, when he faces Arslanbek Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The fight will stream on Netflix and will be his first meeting after consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk, including a rematch in December 2024.

Fury, now 37, announced his retirement shortly after that defeat but decided to return 15 months later. The former heavyweight champion is also thinking beyond boxing. He has talked about a possible fight with former UFC champion Jon Jones and shared thoughts on his long-term future in the sport.

His latest comments, made in an interview with SportsBible, cover his opponent’s choices, motivation and what could happen next.

Tyson Fury talks about Makhmudov fight and the possibility of Anthony Joshua

Fury said the choice of opponent was deliberate. He chose Makhmudov, a heavy puncher with a strong knockout record, to properly prepare himself for a comeback fight.

“It requires someone of that caliber.”

Makhmudov has won 19 of his 23 professional bouts by knockout. His only losses came against Guido Vianello and Agit Kabayel, but he has since picked up wins against Ricardo Brown and David Allen.

If Fury wins, the focus is expected to shift to the long-discussed fight with Anthony Joshua. The British heavyweight is also set to make a comeback this summer, according to Matchroom Boxing CEO Frank Smith.

“If a fight can be fought, let’s start it like Donkey Kong.”

Fury confirmed that he has not spoken with Joshua about a possible bout.

“I have no contact with him.”

Fury outlines post-boxing life and ongoing inspiration

Fury said he still wonders what life will be like when he retires, but made it clear that boxing remains central to him.

“My true love has always been boxing, and it has always been my passion.”

“So until this happens no more… I can go into TV full-time to do Netflix and s***.”

When asked about his motivation, Fury said that he does not need to fight, but continues because he enjoys it.

“I’m in a position where I don’t need to box. I don’t need to do anything. I can drink beer all day if I want. But I’m not interested. I love boxing. I’ve always loved boxing.”

He said he hoped to remain in the sport for the next several years.

“I’ll probably keep doing it well into my late 40s. It’s something I love. I’ve tried to walk away from it many times, and I’ve failed. It’s an addiction. Boxing is an addiction.”

Fury discusses MMA interest and Jon Jones potential

Fury also spoke about his past interest in going into mixed martial arts. Efforts to make that switch have so far not worked, he said.

“I’ve tried to do it about ten times.”

“But for some reason or the other, that has not happened. [It would take] The right amount of money. But it always requires cold, hard cash, baby.”

He then talked about facing Jon Jones, naming the former UFC champion as a possible opponent.

“You never know,” Fury said. “Anyone can beat anyone that day. Nothing is impossible, right?”

Conor McGregor targets two BMF title fights in 2026, including clash with old rival

The fallout from UFC 326 has rekindled one of the top rivalries in combat sports, with Conor McGregor already paving the way for a third fight against Nate Diaz. Despite being left off the “UFC Freedom 250” White House card, “The Notorious” remained the center of conversation this weekend, specifically targeting the BMF belt held by Charles Oliveira.

McGregor was vocal in his criticism of Oliveira’s wrestling-heavy victory over Max Holloway. He believes the BMF title should return to its roots in the welterweight division.

“The BMF title was founded by Nate Diaz at 170 pounds. The creator of the belt,” McGregor said during a recent appearance on Smash Cast. “So, there’s a fight for the belt at 170 pounds, and I’m ready for it. I’ll go and take it, and I’ll bring it back, and Nate and I can complete the trilogy for the belt.” McGregor argued that losing weight to 155 pounds for a title that celebrates toughness was unnecessary.

Charles Oliveira, who earned a 50–45 clean sweep on the scorecards against Holloway to become the fourth BMF champion, was sharply criticized by both McGregor and Diaz. During the post-fight press conference at UFC 326, he dismissed McGregor’s social media posts calling the main event “shockingly bad”.

Conor McGregor Record: 22-6 (19 knockouts, 1 submission)

Oliveira made it clear that although his primary goal is to reclaim the undisputed Lightweight Championship, he is willing to accept a “money fight” against the Irishman at any weight.

“You want to put him at 170, you want to put him there, I don’t care, you want to put him at middleweight, we do it, it doesn’t matter,” Oliveira said. “I’ll tell you what – if you want it, make it a Grand Prix. Two fights, same day, and let’s see what happens.” Oliveira’s dismissive tone underlined his current position of power in the division, although he acknowledged that a fight with McGregor would be motivated solely by financial gain.

While McGregor’s ambitious plans for the BMF title and the Diaz Trilogy have his fans excited, the reality of his return remains complicated. UFC CEO Dana White said over the weekend that a deal is “not even close” to McGregor’s return despite the fighter’s claims. However, McGregor revealed on Smash Cast that his manager, Audie Attar, was in Las Vegas on Monday for a one-on-one meeting with UFC officials.

“I’m extremely good at tackling, I’m an honest guy,” McGregor said. “I hope a respectable offer comes.”

5 Francis Ngannou UFC return fights we want after PFL release, including vs. Jon Jones

Francis Ngannou’s signing with the Professional Fighters League became an official failure on Friday. Three years ago, the former UFC heavyweight king had a falling out with the MMA world leader and decided to shake up the sport by taking his talents to the PFL. However, after only one tie in the league, both sides decided to end their relationship this week.

The news immediately sparked speculation about a possible return to the UFC. However, this will be very difficult given his poor relationship with the company’s CEO Dana White. However, with CFO Hunter Campbell having a huge role in the promotion, he may decide to do what’s best for the business and try to bring “The Predator” back if the price is right.

If Ngannou and the UFC can work out their issues and plan a return to the Octagon, here are five bouts we’d love to see in 2026 and 2027.

Francis Ngannou vs. Jon Jones

While there are rumors of a clash between MMA icons Jon Jones and Alex Pereira at the UFC White House card in June, fight fans have wanted a bout with Francis Ngannou for years. There were definitely talks of a fight when the King of Cameroon was still the heavy king. But they could never get the deal across the finish line.

With Ngannou now having less leverage, it may be far easier to get a contract signed for a blockbuster matchup.

Francis Ngannou vs. Tom Aspinall

If Jones is no longer interested in a fight with Ngannou, another easy pivot would be to a matchup with current champion Tom Aspinall. Apparently, the Englishman needs to get his eyes back to normal after the surgery he had last month. However, if he can return to full health, there will be plenty of interest in booking two of the most influential legends of the last five years.

Francis Ngannou vs. Alex Pereira

If Pereira vs. Jones takes place, and the Brazilian wins, his next goal will be to remain at heavyweight and make history by becoming the first UFC fighter to win titles in three divisions. If Aspinall is still not ready to fight, it would not be a surprise if Pereira and Ngannou are placed in an interim title fight.

Seeing Pereira in the same cage as the heavyweight Ngannou will be a sight to behold and a must-see for fight fans.

Francis Ngannou vs. Sergei Pavlovich

If the UFC doesn’t want to push Francis Ngannou into his first title fight, his plan would be to face one of the division’s contenders. That’s why Russia’s Sergei Pavlovich would be a possible option. He is almost as big and powerful as the former heavyweight champion. So the matchup will be a great test for Ngannou’s comeback. Additionally, this fight would be a huge co-main event for any upcoming numbered UFC event.

francis ngannou vs tyson fury

joe camporial-images

If the UFC re-signs Ngannou, one direction outside the box he could go would be a clash in the Octagon with Tyson Fury. There was a fight between these two in a boxing match three years ago and the Cameroonian player caused the biggest upset in history. There has been an uproar regarding the rematch for a long time. Doing it in MMA – a sport in which the Englishman has often competed – would make sense.

With White running Zuffa Boxing, a trilogy fight could take place in the ring, or it could be part of a two-fight, two-sport deal between the boxing giant and parent company TKO Group Holdings.
