As August draws to a close, it signals that Halloween is fast approaching. This is evident in the influx of Halloween-themed treats and sweets appearing on store shelves, as well as the commencement of Halloween-themed events like Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights. For entertainment enthusiasts, this transition also signifies the beginning of planning for what spooky movies to watch leading up to the holiday itself. Each year, Freeform simplifies this task with their 31 Nights of Halloween programming event. This year marks the 26th edition of this special broadcast, and it’s packed with chilling delights, such as the upcoming Haunted Mansion, Hocus Pocus 2, the Goosebumps series, and many more.
Every time there’s a TNA Ultimate X Match, it often steals the spotlight, and tonight’s X-Division battle at TNA Emergence was no exception. The X-Division title holder, Mike Bailey, faced a tough challenge defending his Championship against a powerhouse group that included Jason Hotch, Alexander Hammerstone, Zachary Wentz, Laredo Kid, and WWE NXT’s Riley Osborne. As anticipated, this talented roster created some breathtaking sequences, with Bailey and Wentz repeatedly colliding throughout the match. They kept finding each other right up until the finish line, and while Bailey fought valiantly, it was Wentz who ultimately snatched the Title, claiming the title of the new TNA X-Division Champion.
At SummerSlam, Nia Jax claimed the WWE Women’s Championship, and tonight she confronted her toughest battle yet in a Chicago Street Fight against Michin. For the SmackDown showdown, they armed themselves with whatever weapons they could find: Kendo Sticks, chairs, trash cans, fire extinguishers, and numerous tables that would play a crucial role towards the end of the bout. Tiffany Stratton intervened to aid Jax at one instance, but she also hinted another cash-in attempt. Bayley then made her long-awaited comeback, chasing Stratton out of the ring. However, Jax ultimately triumphed by crushing Michin within a trash can, thus retaining her Title.
The film “Romulus”, part of an established sci-fi franchise, has been playing in theaters for several weeks now, leaving fans amazed with its innovative approach. A particularly startling scene comes towards the end of the movie, where the heavily pregnant character Kay (Isabela Merced) injects herself with a mysterious substance that alters her DNA, resulting in the birth of a human-Xenomorph hybrid. The newborn quickly grows into a colossal creature, kills Kay and attacks Rain (Cailee Spaeny), before being expelled from the ship to perish in a neighboring planet’s rings. What took many “Romulus” viewers by surprise was that the “Offspring” was brought to life by former basketball player Robert Bobroczkyi, and we now have exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of this process. On Friday, director Fede Alvarez shared a video on Twitter showing Bobroczkyi and Spaeny during filming, demonstrating the realistic design of the Offspring.
At the upcoming event Bash in Berlin, the undefeated WWE Championship will be at stake, as Cody Rhodes squares off against his longtime friend Kevin Owens. Earlier tonight, they had their final meeting before their highly anticipated match, during which two significant points emerged from their discussion. Firstly, there were concerns about Cody Rhodes’ health, with Owens repeatedly mentioning a knee injury. Rhodes, however, dismissed this claim, asserting that he was in perfect condition, 100%. Secondly, speculation about Owens potentially betraying Rhodes was raised, especially after the footage from SmackDown last week. Although Owens didn’t explicitly deny these rumors, his response was not as definitive as one might expect. To wrap things up, Owens said something that wasn’t audible on the microphones, and we’ll have to wait until tomorrow to find out what transpired.
