Paige wasted no time shutting down talk of Nikki Bella turning heel after her big WWE SmackDown return—and she used a fan’s typo to do it. Nikki made her comeback on the July 24 episode of SmackDown after spending nearly four months on the shelf with a serious ankle injury. She stormed the ring to save Brie Bella from Fatal Influence before planting Jacy Jayne with the Rack Attack 2.0. After the show, Paige celebrated Nikki’s return and made it clear she was fired up about teaming with the Bella Twins at SummerSlam. “My girl Nikki is back!! You hear…

York head coach Mark Applegarth told BBC Radio York:”Congratulations to Huddersfield – they’ve been in a lot of close games of late and they were due to get one over the line. Unfortunately for us, we’ve given them that opportunity.”We’re very inconsistent at the moment – it feels like we make three steps forward and then a couple back. We’ve got to keep on chasing that consistency in our performances, first and foremost.”I definitely don’t want to take anything away from Huddersfield, they deserved the victory.”It’s frustrating when you’re coaching and we’re making some simple errors. It’s nothing like rocket…

When Mount, who has played most of his career as an attacking midfielder, joined United from Chelsea for £55m in 2023, his ability to play in central midfield was cited as one of the attractions.Although too much time in his first two seasons at Old Trafford was spent dealing with injuries, the 27-year-old was able to make a consistent impact last term.While it is still early days in this pre-season, from the evidence of the opening two games, against Wrexham in Helsinki and an admittedly limited Rosenborg side in Trondheim, there are definite signs Mount and Santos could form a…

Outside of not loving the fact an interim champion is being crowned in the first place, I also really don’t love some of the various competitors booked into the bout.
