WWE star R-Truth makes shocking return to cost John Cena match
WWE's Money in the Bank premium live event was filled with stunning moments on Saturday, but it was the main event tag-team match that got pro wrestling fans talking.
It appeared the team of John Cena and Logan Paul was going to defeat Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. It would have marked another loss for Rhodes in what was his first match since WrestleMania 41. Cena was able to knock out Rhodes when he used the Undisputed WWE Championship as a weapon.
Cena looked around for the referee but couldn't find him. Then a mysterious man dressed in a black hooded sweatshirt and black pants entered the ring. He attacked Cena and started to hammer him with furious fists to the head. The man stepped off of Cena to reveal himself.
It was R-Truth.
The fans who flocked to the Intuit Dome yelled in shock. It was only six days ago that R-Truth wrote on social media that he would be leaving the WWE. He hit Cena with the title belt.
Rhodes got up and hit Cena with the Cross Rhodes for the win.
It was R-Truth who became the talk of WWE Universe. WWE Shop billed him as Ron Killings, the real name of R-Truth, which sparked questions about whether he would use a different name in the upcoming feud.
R-Truth announced he would be leaving the WWE last week. But it sparked a bigger movement during the week. Fans chanted "We want Truth!" at each of WWE's shows this week. It got so big that Cena had to address it and put fans down on "Friday Night SmackDown."
Cena previously defeated R-Truth at "Saturday Night's Main Event" after a confrontation after Backlash.
The wrestler told fans on X it was not a "work" that he was going to be released, meaning it was not a part of a storyline to confuse fans to draw a reaction.
"#WeWantTruth was seen, heard, felt and understood… Believe me when I say this, I Love EVERYONE of yall to death," he wrote on X. "We made history together."
Paul "Triple H" Levesque, WWE's chief content officer, was asked about R-Truth's return after the event.
"I love the question," he said. "You enjoying the show? All part of the show, man."

Diddy trial updates: Ex-assistant Brendan Paul set to testify in Sean Combs's case
Prosecutors plan to call one of their final witnesses in Sean 'Diddy' Combs's federal racketeering and sex trafficking trial on Friday: a former assistant to the music producer who has been granted immunity for testimony that could shed light on the operations of Combs's inner circle. For more than a month, the jury has been hearing from Combs's former employees and ex-girlfriends, as well as federal agents and other witnesses for the prosecution. The government argues the Bad Boy Records founder used his wealth, companies and vast influence in the music and media industries, as well blackmail, threats and violence, to force or coerce women into days-long sex performances with other men while he filmed and masturbated. Prosecutors have also argued that Combs and a small group of trusted employees committed and covered up a range of other crimes, including arson, kidnapping and narcotics distribution.

Warriors player savagely taunted Caitlin Clark as she struggles
Caitlin Clark had a rare off night shooting with the Indiana Fever's loss to the expansion Golden State Valkyries, making just 3-of-14 from the field and 0-of-7 from distance. And there was one moment where Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski got in her ear. It turns out he's been VERY supportive of the new WNBA team in the Bay Area, and while he was courtside, he showed it. Advertisement Clark was whistled for a travel violation during the game, and as she began walking to the other end of the court, Podziemski popped up and mimicked the travel call as she passed by. It was high comedy. What's even better about this is Podziemski responded to all the attention to his taunt on X (formerly Twitter): No good [laughing emoji] we goin the other way [purple heart emoji] with it Love my Valkyries [heart emoji] There are other clips of him being a huge fan, which you have to love. Check out this one pumping up the crowd! How many points did Caitlin Clark score against the Valkyries? She ended up with 11 points, nine dimes and seven boards. She also had six turnovers and a steal. The Fever lost 88-77 to Golden State. This article originally appeared on For The Win: Caitlin Clark taunted by Brandin Podziemski in Fever loss to Valkyries

8 Unique Funeral Themes for the Most Meaningful Send-Off
There's plenty of beauty and meaning in a traditional funeral or memorial service, but that doesn't mean the usual funeral style is right for everyone. If your loved one had some specific interests or just a unique perspective on the world, we have some awesome ideas for funeral themes to make your tribute super personal. Everything from the decorations to the eulogies can follow the theme or relate to it, and you'll find this actually makes it easier to plan and create a really meaningful event. For many people, having a theme makes the event even more special and lets you really show what was important to your loved one (or how they loved to have fun). Things like birds and balloons can be very important symbols of letting someone go or fly away, and you can use these symbols as a theme for the entire funeral. Choose decorations that emphasize the air, such as bird cut-outs or ribbons that can move in the breeze if you're outside. Select readings that touch on the subject of birds or other things that fly. You may even want to fly kites together after the service. For someone who valued nature and the environment, a touching tribute can be a funeral with an environmental theme. Choose natural, local decorations that can be reused (living plants, for instance). Serve farm-to-table food that is locally sourced. You can ask guests to donate to an environmental charity or organization instead of giving flowers. If you're hosting a themed funeral, be sure to communicate the theme to everyone who is involved. The time after a loss can be challenging, and no one wants to be surprised. The night sky and all the points of light in it can be very comforting when you're facing the loss of a loved one. Let the stars inspire your funeral theme by decorating with star cut-outs, asters and other star-shaped flowers, and even star charts or space telescope photos. You can use the stars to inspire your readings and also host an evening star-gazing event after the service. Funerals are already formal, but you can take your formality to the next level with a black-tie attire service. Have people dress in gowns and tuxes as a way to show their respect in the most stylish way possible. This is especially fun if the person you're honoring loved dressing up. For an added touch, host a formal cocktail party as a reception after the service. Related: Most funerals are held during the day, but you could host an evening event by candlelight. This can be very touching, especially if you pass candles around and let everyone light theirs. After the service, release sky lanterns together in a safe place to give your loved one a beautiful send-off. It may sound like a weird funeral theme, but centering the whole event around your loved one's favorite movie can be a light-hearted but still very personal tribute. You can use cardboard cutouts of characters from the movie (like Star Wars, for instance), have guests dress in costumes if they wish, and even do readings from movie scenes that seem especially fitting. You could also show a small clip or the entire movie after the service. A special funeral theme for a book lover could involve all things reading related. Have book-themed decorations or flowers made out of book pages. Read parts of your loved one's favorite book at the service, and have guests bring books to exchange with one another. You could also ask for children's book donations to take to a local library or school. Another wonderful and unique idea is to let their cultural heritage inspire your themed funeral. If they're Irish, for instance, you could decorate with flowers like bells of Ireland, read an Irish blessing, sing an Irish song, and serve Irish food. Your loved one's cultural heritage is a rich source of inspiration for everything from the funeral flowers to the food. There are so many wonderful unique funeral ideas to choose from that it can seem a little overwhelming to pick one. This can be even more challenging if you're in the midst of dealing with grief. These tips can help you keep the stress to a minimum and choose a theme that's perfect: Think about what your loved one really appreciated in life. Let that inspire you. Ask a few friends or family members for ideas if you're not sure what you want to do. It can be healing for people to have input. Don't choose a theme that's going to make things more complicated for you or that involves a lot of set-up. One of the great benefits of funeral themes is that they can make the whole process easier. Consider the formality level you want at the service. Some themes are casual, and you may want a more traditional event. Your wishes matter here. Remember that the theme you choose is to honor your loved one, but it's also to comfort the people at the funeral. If you think a theme might be upsetting, consider tweaking it a little so everyone will be comfortable. A memorial service or funeral doesn't have to be totally traditional. There's no rule that says you can't have an event as unique as your loved one. The perfect funeral theme will make the whole event more meaningful and special for everyone involved.
