The Hall of Famer had not competed in a match since the 2022 Women’s Royal Rumble before her return at the PLE in Saudi Arabia last night. Nikki Bella returned during the Women’s Royal Rumble match last year and is currently a member of the RAW roster.
Former WWE star comments on Brie Bella’s return
Wrestling veteran Saraya, formerly known as Paige, commented on Brie Bella’s return at WWE Royal Rumble 2026.
The former AEW star took to social media following the PLE to praise The Bella Twins. Saraya also discussed why she wasn’t in the match and suggested that she was working on a project that her fans will enjoy.
“Welcome back to Brie. I love her so much. It’s so good seeing her, AJ, and Nikki back, even though AJ wasn’t in the Rumble, but yeah, it was good to see them. But I love you guys so much, seriously, don’t be mad at me, it’s not my fault, it’s not my fault, but I’m taking rest, and very seriously I’m away doing something cool right now, you’ll see, super super cool. Very exciting stuff.”
I wanted see a royal rumble surprise, and it just didn’t happen. 🥲

Liv Morgan won the Women’s Royal Rumble this year and eliminated her Judgment Day stablemate, Raquel Rodriguez, during the match. Rodriguez will be challenging Stephanie Vaquer for the Women’s World Championship in a Philadelphia Street Fight on WWE RAW. It will be fascinating to see what the company has planned for Brie Bella during tomorrow night’s show.

In-form Ishan Kishan continued his red-hot form with a rapid half-century as India secured a 30-run win over South Africa in their only warm-up match ahead of the T20 World Cup on Wednesday at DY Patil Stadium. The wicketkeeper-batter raced to 53 off just 20 balls, smashing seven sixes and two boundaries, cementing his spot in the top order alongside Abhishek Sharma. The Indian batters collectively posted a daunting 241 for five on a flat track, with Ishan and Abhishek putting on an explosive 80-run partnership inside the powerplay. Abhishek contributed 24 off 17 balls before retiring, allowing Ishan to continue his onslaught and retire unbeaten after reaching his fifty, ensuring both got a final hit ahead of India’s opener against the USA on February 7.
Are India favourites to win 2026 T20 World Cup? | Greenstone Lobo makes a HUGE PREDICTION
India rotated their bowling arsenal, using nine different bowlers, including Abhishek Sharma, who picked up 2/32 in three overs, to restrict the Proteas to 210/7. Harshit Rana, however, was forced to leave after just one over due to discomfort in his run-up. South Africa’s experimental opening pair of George Linde (0) and Aiden Markram (38 retired out) failed to make an impact, with Linde dismissed for a duck by Arshdeep Singh. Ryan Rickelton top-scored for the visitors with 44 off 21 balls, while Jason Smith contributed 35 off 23. Dewald Brevis fell cheaply, but Tristan Stubbs provided resistance with a 21-ball 45 not out, including four sixes. Other notable performances for India included Tilak Varma, who made a quick 45 off 19 balls before being bowled by Marco Jansen, and Suryakumar Yadav, who struck 30 off 16 balls. Vice-captain Axar Patel added 35 off 23, while Hardik Pandya finished with a fiery 30 from just 10 deliveries. Rinku Singh contributed 16 before being hit on the helmet. India’s batting dominance, combined with disciplined bowling, ensured a comfortable 30-run victory in their final warm-up ahead of the tournament. Brief scores: India 240/5 in 20 overs (Ishan Kishan 53, Tilak Varma 45; Marco Jansen 1/18) beat South Africa 210/7 in 20 overs (Ryan Rickelton 44, Tristan Stubbs 45*; Abhishek Sharma 2/32) by 30 runs.
The defending NBA Champions are adding to their roster.
McCain has experienced a sophomore slump in his second year in the NBA, after bursting onto the scene as a rookie in 2024-25.
The 21-year-old is averaging 6.6 points, two rebounds and 1.7 assists on 38.5 per cent shooting through 37 games this season.
Last campaign, he was a Rookie of the Year favourite before going down with a torn meniscus. McCain averaged 15.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists on 46 per cent shooting in 23 games in 2024-25.

McCain became expendable in Philadelphia after the 76ers drafted VJ Edgecombe third overall in the 2025 NBA Draft.
The move also provides them with the flexibility to bring Quentin Grimes back in free agency and convert two-way guard Dominick Barlow, per Charania.
Former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder opens up about his mental health struggles, and says he’s now “at peace” before his fight against Derek Chisora on 4 April at London’s O2 Arena.
Naoya Inoue remains as one of boxing’s pound-for-pound superstars and the Japanese phenomenon may finally move up to featherweight this year. There, each of the 126lb champions are hoping to be selected as his opponent, but none more so than a newly crowned titleholder from the United States.
Inoue has ruled at light-flyweight, super-flyweight, bantamweight and super-bantamweight over the course of his 32-fight career, becoming undisputed at both 118lbs and 122lbs as one of just three multi-divisional undisputed champions in the four-belt era.
“It [the fight with Inoue] is very realistic now and I am super excited for what is to come. These next two years are going to be really special, we are going to be making a lot of noise and I think that it is right there, it is on the cusp of happening.
“Everything is really falling into place for me, man. I really want to be the first guy to do it, to beat Inoue, and then we are going to be on that road, superstardom level.
“[I would rather] a fight with him [than unifications], because with the unifications, I feel like I could still do that regardless, after [fighting Inoue]. I think that the fight with him is something that I want more, because it would just put me on that level.
“Me beating him would put me on a certain level, over the unification fights, honestly.”

Carrington then went on to explain why he believes that the interest in that bout should not be one-sided, declaring that Inoue should be seeking events across the pond in order to improve on his star power.
“He should have some interest in fighting in America as well, that will make him into an even bigger fighter if he becomes more successful with more fights here and builds his name.”
Should Inoue wish to debut at featherweight in the U.S. then Carrington sticks out as the obvious candidate and with his New York roots, a clash at Madison Square Garden makes sense for both men, providing Inoue comes through his meeting with Nakatani unscathed.
Deontay Wilder stormed out of an interview on Wednesday after taking issue with a line of questioning about Tyson Fury, one of his biggest rivals, ahead of a press conference with upcoming opponent Derek Chisora.
On 4 April, Wilder will box Chisora in a heavyweight main event at London’s O2 Arena, in what is expected to be Chisora’s final fight as a professional.

At 42, Britain’s Chisora is a seasoned veteran, while former world champion Wilder is similarly experienced at 40. But while Chisora has been enjoying a resurgence recently, winning his last three bouts, Wilder is in must-win territory after going 2-4 in his last six contests.

The American, seen as arguably the most-devastating puncher of his generation, was on a frightening run of unanswered victories until 2018, when he secured a controversial draw with Fury. In 2020, Fury stopped Wilder to take the WBC title from the “Bronze Bomber”, before replicating that result in a third clash in 2021. Since then, Wilder has stopped Robert Helenius and Tyrrell Anthony Herndon but lost to Zhilei Zhang and Joseph Parker.
But his past with Fury cropped up again this week, when Wilder accused the Briton of having cheated during their rivalry. This was put to Wilder before Wednesday’s press conference with Chisora, as the American was questioned by TalkSport host Simon Jordan.
“I don’t want to talk about him,” Wilder told Jordan, who replied. “No, you’re going to.”

“We’re here about Derek Chisora,” Wilder pushed back. “We’re not gonna talk about him [Fury] at all. I’m not gonna talk about him at all. Understand that.”
“No, fair enough,” Jordan said, in a bid to cool an intensifying atmosphere, with Wilder responding: “Alright then, so let’s move on. It’s all about Derek Chisora, that’s it. I’m back, baby! You all understand that? 4 April, it’s going down at the O2, you better be there or you’ll be a square.”

“I understand that, I understand that,” said Jordan. “Fabulous. The only reason I mentioned it is because it’s part of the shtick that goes with you, and I missed you the first time around, when you came in here three years ago – when you were in your pomp four years ago, doing ‘Bomb Squad!’ and all that sort of stuff.

“And I have always wanted to have a conversation with you, because you’ve made observations about Fury. I have my views on Fury, and you’ve called him a cheat.”
“The biggest in boxing!” Wilder exclaimed, before making accusations against Fury, who is due to emerge from his fifth retirement when he boxes Arslanbek Makhmudov on 11 April. Fury has always denied any accusations against him.
“But it leads me to a conclusion,” Jordan followed up. “I want to put something to you about you, and Fury just happens to be the hook for it. You talked about being cheated in that fight, you talked about water being spiked.”
“Facts,” said Wilder, before Jordan added: “You talked about your [ring walk] outfit being too heavy for you.”

“I didn’t say that,” Wilder claimed. Jordan went on: “You talked about a long count [by the referee in the first fight with Fury].”

After Wilder said “facts” once more, Jordan continued: “It sounds to me, given the character you are, that’s a little bit flaky. You lost those fights, and those fights were lost, and you saying someone like Fury cheated you in those fights is kind of disappointing to me.”
“Because I know the truth!” shouted Wilder. “I have the facts. Understand that […] Because when the documentary and everything starts to come out, I’m gonna show everything.” Earlier in the week, Wilder had similarly referenced a documentary he is apparently working on.

“I’m not a Fury fan,” Jordan said, as Wilder stood up from his chair and walked towards the host, with security holding back the boxer.
“I don’t give a f*** about that!” Wilder shouted. “I don’t give a f*** about it! I said we didn’t want to bring him up in the first place. It ain’t got s*** to do with him!”

Wilder’s last fight was his stoppage of Herndon in the seventh round in June, while Chisora’s was his decision win over Otto Wallin in February 2025.

Tony Khan will present tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite from Las Vegas this week. The show will take place at the Pearl Theater at Palms Casino Resort, and fans have high expectations for it. AEW has announced a stacked lineup of stars for the show, including some big-time matches featuring top AEW names.
As of now, Tony Khan has announced four big showdowns for the event. Hangman Page will take on Mark Davis in a singles clash. Apart from that, Andrade and Kenny Omega will also square off in a big matchup. Moreover, MJF will take on Brody King in an AEW World Title Eliminator Match. Additionally, Jack Perry and Ricochet will also clash over the AEW National Title. There are several other top stars like Kris Statlander and Jon Moxley expected to appear on the show.

In this article, let’s take a look at 3 mistakes Tony Khan must avoid on this week’s AEW Dynamite:
#3. A clear decision for the Andrade and Kenny Omega match
Andrade will face Kenny Omega tonight on AEW Dynamite. It is a much-anticipated showdown between the two stars following El Idolo’s attack on The Cleaner on Dynamite’s 6th Anniversary last year. However, both stars are brimming with momentum as of late in the Jacksonville-based promotion. Besides, Andrade and Omega are top contenders for the AEW World Championship.
Therefore, Tony Khan can create a solid storyline involving the two stars down the line. However, a defeat to any one of them could destroy their momentum. Hence, instead of giving this match a clear closure, there should be a screwed ending for this showdown. It would help Khan to keep this feud open without affecting anyone’s credibility and momentum in the company.
#2. No follow-up on Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford’s title quest
Last week, on AEW Dynamite, Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford came down the aisle to give a staredown to the AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander and the AEW World Women’s Tag Team Champions Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron. That moment alone shone a massive spotlight on Bayne and Ford, sparking interest from a lot of fans in their work down the line.

However, if Tony Khan did not give any follow-up to that intense staredown, it would make last week’s segment meaningless. Instead, the AEW President should book Bayne and Ford in some sort of confrontation with The Babes of Wrath and Kris Statlander. Besides, fans have been clamoring to see Megan chase the AEW Women’s World Title. Therefore, it sets up a golden opportunity for AEW to build Megan Bayne to the top.
#1. Another loss to Jack Perry on AEW Dynamite
Jack Perry will challenge the champion Ricochet for the AEW National Championship tonight on AEW Dynamite. It is a rematch between the two stars after their last title match on 31 December 2025, AEW Dynamite. Perry made his return to AEW last year following a prolonged hiatus. However, he has not achieved anything big since then in the company.
He has already faced a defeat against Ricochet on Dynamite, and another loss could heavily impact his credibility. Therefore, Tony Khan should crown Perry a new National Champion tonight. The Lightskin Kingpin has already managed to have a decent run with the title. The Scapegoat has the potential to heavily elevate the prestige of the championship down the line.

Briton Lone’er Kavanagh has stepped in at less than a month’s notice to fight Brandon Moreno in Mexico on 28 February.
Earlier this week Asu Almabayev withdrew from the flyweight contest with Moreno because of injury.
Kavanagh, 26, had been booked to fight at UFC London on 20 March and will now face by far his toughest test to date against the former flyweight champion.
The Mexican will have the weight of a famously feverish home support behind him, but is at a crossroads in his career with three defeats in his past five appearances.

Moreno, 32, was stopped by Tatsuro Taira in his last outing in December but remains ranked at number four in the division.
Kavanagh, ranked 15th, can boost his status considerably with a win on away soil.
The Londoner suffered the first defeat of his MMA career in his last bout in August, losing by stoppage to Charles Johnson.
Though Kavanagh is now off the UFC London card, there will still be plenty of British fighters in action.

Featherweight Lerone Murphy headlines against Movsar Evloev, while Nathaniel Wood, Luke Riley, Michael ‘Venom’ Page, Christian Leroy Duncan and more are set to appear.
Another Canadian Olympic medallist has been suspended.
Pole vaulter Alysha Newman, who won bronze at the 2024 Summer Olympics, was provisionally suspended by the Athletics Integrity Unit on Wednesday for whereabouts failures.
Canadian swimmer and seven-time Olympic medallist Penny Oleksiak was suspended two years for the same thing back in November.
To be suspended, an athlete has to miss three doping tests in a 12-month timeline.

Newman, 31, has not vaulted since a Diamond League event last May.
At the Paris Games in 2024, Newman soared to an improbable bronze in her third Olympics.
The London, Ont., native set a personal best and national record with a vault of 4.85 metres to place third.
She also won gold at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and bronze at the 2019 Pan American Games.
January is a time for renewal — for mind, body, spirit, and of course, golf equipment.
And there’s no better indication of what’s resonating with gear-heads than a deep dive into the month’s best-sellers, which include all the latest new-for-2026 tech.
Topping the list so far is a pair of iron models from Mizuno, the Pro M-13 and Pro M-15. The Pro M-13 is designed to be used by a range of handicaps while the Pro M-15 is primarily for distance-seekers. But both models offer impressive launch, speed and spin.
Next up: Ping’s G440K driver, which is already in play with a number of top players on Tour. A new Dual Carbonfly Wrap crown and sole, a new acoustic rib structure and an adjustable backweight for the first time on this model makes it the manufacturer’s most forgiving driver ever.

Another hot driver is TaylorMade’s Qi4D, which is designed for speed and distance, and incorporates a stock-shaft fit system to encourage straighter ballflight. Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood already have this one in the bag.
Finally, another iron making a splash is Cobra’s 3DP X, a game-improvement iron created from 3D-printing technology that uses single-piece construction rather than a face insert. The result: faster ball speeds and spin to keep the ball in the air.

ITV will introduce in-play advertising to its Six Nations coverage this week, a first for UK live sports broadcasting, starting with Ireland’s trip to holders France on Thursday night.
The broadcaster will run two adverts in each half, shown during breaks in play before scrums. The promotions will appear in a picture-in-picture format, taking up roughly half the screen while the match continues.
Commercial deals have been agreed with Samsung and Virgin Atlantic. Samsung’s advert will promote its Galaxy Fold 27 phone, showing fans watching live rugby together on a mobile device and asking: “Can your phone make you feel this close?” Virgin Atlantic’s slot will focus on the airline’s global routes.
While ITV has stressed the ads will only appear during natural stoppages, the move has already prompted debate about the impact on rugby’s flow and viewing experience.

Among the first to react was South Africa head coach Rassie Erasmus who responded with a series of pointed social media posts.
Quoting the original report, Erasmus initially wrote “Rerig?”, a sarcastic reference to re-engineering rugby broadcasts to accommodate advertising.
He followed that up with a second post: “O shit Daan, wat nou?”
The tone was typical Erasmus: short, dry, and clearly sceptical of a direction that risks chipping away at the rhythm of the game.
For now, the experiment applies only to rugby. ITV would require separate approval to introduce similar in-play advertising during football broadcasts, including the World Cup.
