What lies ahead for Bobby Lashley? Over the weekend, it was revealed that his WWE contract was approaching its end and he hadn’t re-signed yet, as he wanted to explore other opportunities in the open market. Lashley joined WWE six years ago, picking up from his initial stint that started in 2005. His comeback wasn’t smooth sailing at first, with controversial storylines involving Sami Zayn and Rusev drawing criticism. However, he gained momentum by 2020 and reached the pinnacle of capturing the WWE Championship in March 2021. Since then, Lashley has been a consistent presence near the main event, but his recent performance leveled off to midcard status.

In simple terms, Netflix announced that Luke Thompson will star in “Bridgerton” Season 4, making Benedict Bridgerton the central character. Fans had speculated this based on hints from the previous season’s finale. The anticipated masquerade ball scene in “An Offer For A Gentleman,” the third novel, sets the stage for Thompson’s storyline and potential love interest in the upcoming episodes.

As a big fan of the ’90s revival, I’m thrilled that Street Sharks figurines from Mattel are making a comeback! The initial release of 6-inch scale figures hit stores in March, marking the 30th anniversary of the 1994 animated series. These collectibles flew off the shelves but don’t worry, they’re back in stock now. To add to the excitement, three new exclusive figures – Streex, Big Slammu, and Dr. Piranoid – will be available during Walmart’s San Diego Comic-Con 2024/Collector Con event. So, get ready to expand your collection with these highly anticipated additions!

For over two decades, Monday Night Raw from WWE has been a mainstay on USA Network. Debuting on the channel in 1993 and staying until 2005 when it moved to Spike TV for a short stint, it eventually returned to USA Network. Since then, Monday Night Raw, WWE’s flagship program, has consistently aired every Monday evening on USA Network. In 2012, the show extended from two hours to three hours. However, this period of airtime on USA Network is nearing its end as WWE plans to shift its red brand programming to Netflix by 2025. Nevertheless, USA Network still has approximately five months left before the show departs.

Capcom has successfully steered franchises like “Resident Evil” and “Monster Hunter” for many years. However, other Capcom-owned brands haven’t fared as well. For example, “Mega Man,” which has long been a fan favorite and successful IP for Capcom, has seen a decline in significance recently. Most of its recent releases have merely been collections of earlier games, with only 2018’s “Mega Man 11” being a new addition to the series.

For video game enthusiasts, the future of having tangible media for games is a topic of great interest. Though some have transitioned completely to digital ownership, numerous gamers continue to favor owning the actual discs or cartridges. With publishers seeking cost savings, some companies are entirely abandoning physical releases. However, Capcom does not seem inclined to follow this trend. During their recent shareholders meeting, Capcom was asked about their intentions regarding physical sales. At present, it appears that the desire for physical games is still too strong to be overlooked.
