Logan Paul in scuffle with comedian Andrew Schulz on WWE Raw

Express Tribune11-03-2025

On the March 10, 2025, episode of WWE Raw, Logan Paul was at the center of a dramatic incident involving comedian Andrew Schulz. The episode kicked off with Jey Uso defeating Grayson Waller in a fast-paced match, but things escalated quickly after Paul entered Madison Square Garden, greeted by loud boos from the New York crowd.
Paul, hyping up his ongoing feud with AJ Styles, turned his attention to Schulz, who was sitting ringside. When Paul demanded that Schulz speak about him, Schulz deflected by mentioning WWE legends Seth Rollins and CM Punk as his reasons for being there.
The tension between Paul and Schulz grew when Paul angrily pulled the comedian from the crowd, nearly tossing him into the ring. Just as things were about to get more heated, AJ Styles ran down the ramp to make the save, delivering his signature Phenomenal Forearm to Paul.
The crowd erupted as Schulz and Styles posed together in the ring. Adding to the chaos, Paul had earlier gotten into a bitter spot with a fan during his entrance, tearing their t-shirt in the process.
In a separate interview with Alistair McGeorge of Metro, WWE star LA Knight discussed why he faced Logan Paul at SummerSlam 2024 instead of earlier.
Knight explained that WWE strategically delayed the match to build anticipation, engaging fans with various distractions. He also recalled fans at WrestleMania 40 urging him to fight Paul for the United States Championship, further fueling the demand for the matchup.

Diddy former assistant Brendan Paul testifies on FBI arrest and other allegations in ongoing trial

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' former assistant, Brendan Paul, took the witness stand on Friday in the ongoing federal trial against the music mogul. Paul, a 26-year-old former Syracuse University basketball player, worked for Combs for approximately 18 months beginning in late 2022. His testimony provided detailed insight into Combs' alleged lifestyle, including regular drug use and monthly sex parties known as 'Wild King Nights.' Paul was arrested on March 24, 2024, at a Miami airport during coordinated federal raids on Combs' properties in Miami and Los Angeles. Although Combs was released, Paul was taken into custody after authorities discovered 0.7 grams of cocaine in one of his bags. He told the court that the drugs belonged to Combs but said he initially didn't tell federal agents due to "loyalty." Paul was released the following day on a $2,500 bond, and the charges were later dropped. He has not spoken to Combs since. Paul testified that his responsibilities included setting up and cleaning hotel rooms used for Combs' monthly sex parties. These events, he said, required him to purchase supplies such as towels, lube, alcohol, sheets, and toiletries. He also reported once seeing white powder residue in a hotel room. Paul said he spent between $500 on drugs for Combs—such as cocaine, ketamine, ecstasy, and marijuana—on five to ten occasions, though he denied being a 'drug mule.' Paul's name has been mentioned in three pending civil lawsuits filed against Combs, including one by music producer Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones, who accused Combs of coercion and alleged Paul helped procure guns and drugs. Paul rejected the criminal characterization and insisted he would 'absolutely not' work for a criminal. He described Combs as demanding, noting that staff were instructed to 'move like SEAL Team Six' and ensure Combs' satisfaction at all costs. The trial resumed Friday after a brief delay due to a juror's illness and the Juneteenth holiday. Federal prosecutors are expected to conclude their case on Monday, with the defense set to begin presenting witnesses Tuesday. Combs faces charges including sex trafficking, transportation for prostitution, and racketeering. He has pleaded not guilty and faces a potential life sentence if convicted.

The new season will premiere on Wednesday, July 30 at 8 p.m. ET, and will be available globally in over 165 countries in the months following, according to MTV. The upcoming installment promises a shake-up in the competition format, launching what the network describes as a 'new era' marked by heightened unpredictability and strategic uncertainty. This season's cast includes eight returning champions—Cara Maria Sorbello, Derrick Kosinski, Aviv Melmed, Ashley Mitchell, Rogan O'Connor, CT Tamburello, Johnny 'Bananas' Devenanzio, and Turbo—who will face off against a new roster of reality TV alumni.

Players—both veterans and newcomers—must navigate an ever-evolving landscape of shifting loyalties, betrayals, and strategic uncertainty. To introduce the cast, The Challenge: Vets and New Threats: Day Zero, a launch special, will air on July 23 at 8 p.m. ET on MTV and will also be available via VOD platforms, and the show's official YouTube channel.

Will 2025 be the 'Summer of Punk'?

Summer is here. And if the Karachi heat isn't enough to melt you, CM Punk's promos definitely will. On Monday Night Raw, The 'Best in the World' came face to face with WWE Champion John Cena and challenged him to a match for the title. Cena accepted the challenge and the two will face off at the Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia on June 28. The two had a brief encounter at WWE Elimination Chamber earlier this year. But the story between the two goes way back. In 2011, Cena was the champ when Punk broke out as the greatest thing in pro-wrestling with his infamous 'pipe bomb', that led to one of the best stories in wrestling history. The summer of 2011 became known as the 'Summer of Punk'. But while it wasn't the first 'Summer of Punk' — the first happened in the Ring of Honor promotion in 2005 — it brought Punk a global recognition as being the outspoken, straightedge iconoclast that he is and eventually led to a record-breaking championship reign. Will 2025 see the third 'Summer of Punk'? It's doubtful but very much possible now that things are heating up since WWE Money in the Bank premium live event this past weekend. Wild card Seth Rollins became the new Mr Money in the Bank, 11 years after his first one, and with that, he can cash in on any world championship for up to a year. On Raw, he teased cashing in on Cena during the latter's face-off with Punk. With Rollins' deep hatred of Punk, it's possible that Punk defeats Cena and Rollins' cashes in on Punk, continuing their rivalry. No matter the outcome, Punk will either go on another championship reign or fight Rollins to the edge of the world until one of them falls over. In both cases, Punk is done playing nice and being a team player. He's coming for the title. It's also fascinating that from 2011 to 2014, whenever Punk and Cena faced off, Cena was the face and Punk the heel or a tweener. And yet Punk was widely cheered by the audience, and Cena booed most of the time, with only his pre-teen fan base rooting for him. On Monday, it was a similar soundscape with some role reversals. This time, Punk is a face and Cena a heel. And yet, the more things change, the more they remain the same. Most of the crowd favoured Punk, with intermittent chants of 'Let's go Cena' and 'Cena sucks' piping in. The only difference was the adult voices rooted for Cena and the kids against him. Right match, wrong show It's also confusing why WWE is choosing to have this match in Saudi Arabia when they could save it for the biggest show of the year, SummerSlam, in August. There is enough history between the two to continue this renewed rivalry for the next two months and give them a bigger spotlight at SummerSlam. It's very much possible that this match will end in shenanigans that will continue the rivalry or divert it from Punk and Cena to Punk and Rollins. With the involvement of Rollins, it's inevitable that Roman Reigns might play a part in it too. There's also a chance that Rollins cashes in on the new World Heavyweight Champion Gunther, who ended Jey Uso's short reign on Raw. Another factor is the eventual King of the Ring winner, who will be crowned at WWE Night of Champions and receive a guaranteed world title shot at SummerSlam. Sami Zayn has already qualified for the semi-finals but the returning former champ Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton or someone else could still win it all. Rest assured, the world title picture remains as unpredictable as Punk himself. As they say, all roads lead to WrestleMania. But the roads shall pass through the summer that's quickly heating up. Whether Punk sets the shows ablaze and goes on a rampage or someone else reigns supreme, it's bound to be a hell of a summer for WWE. Truth and Evolution Additionally, WWE righted the wrong and rehired R-Truth back after massive backlash from both fans and peers. Truth's new direction includes him reverting to his real name Ron Killings. Essentially the truth set Killings free on Monday as he cut his dreadlocks. What his road looks like remains to be seen. But he's done being a comedy act for now. The whole situation was a pity as Truth faced Cena recently and was released the week after. But thankfully, WWE listened to the negative reactions and brought him up. While Truth is one of the best comedy acts in WWE history, a serious Killings can also deliver big time as he has done it several times in his career. WWE is also ramping things up in the women's roster, with the Queen of the Ring tournament, similar to the men's version. They are also bringing back WWE Evolution, a premium show focusing only on women's matches, for the first time since 2018.
