At Money in the Bank, six of SmackDown LIVE’s best competitors will battle it out in the 2017 Money in the Bank Ladder Match with the goal of climbing the dreaded rungs and claiming a prized briefcase. With the contract inside that case, the victorious Superstar will guarantee himself a WWE Championship opportunity any time they wish in the subsequent year. SmackDown LIVE Commissioner Shane McMahon named the six participants on the May 23 edition of the blue brand: United States Champion Kevin Owens, AJ Styles, Baron Corbin, Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler and Shinsuke Nakamura. No stranger to Money in the Bank, or Ladder Matches in general for that matter, the veteran Ziggler will perhaps walk into the June 18 pay-per-view with a distinct advantage. After all, he did ascend to the top of the ladder back in 2012 to capture the coveted briefcase. Among the numerous wars Owens and Zayn have been involved in over the years, the former friends turned longstanding adversaries have also com...

An L.A. home owned by LeBron James was the target of a hate crime -- someone spray painted the n-word on the front gate and detectives are now investigating, cops tell TMZ Sports. Here's the story: ... Multiple LAPD units and a neighborhood patrol vehicle responded to the home early Wednesday morning. We're told the word was scrawled on the outer gate. We're told investigators are looking for security footage from neighbors which may show the perpetrator. Records show LeBron bought the house back in 2015 but it does not appear he lives there on any regular basis. The graffiti has since been covered up. We're told LeBron was not at the home at the time of the incident -- he's presumably in the Bay Area gearing up for Game 1 of the NBA Finals, which starts Thursday. Source: TMZ Sports

If you seek the American dream, look no further than Jinder Mahal. The Indian Superstar is the very definition of a self-made man, having battled his way to the WWE Championship despite suffering trials and tribulations that would have sent a lesser person running for the hills. Mahal made it his business to target the biggest dog in the yard from his first days in WWE, when he confronted the towering Great Khali. And even when Mahal found himself set back by his own ambitions, The Maharaja continued to press for the peak, forming unusual alliances and adopting new styles to improve his game and approach the mountaintop from a different path. When neither of those attempts paid dividends, Mahal took a sabbatical from WWE and returned in 2016 as a new man. While his style evolved, he also underwent a remarkable physical transformation. Suddenly, going after the biggest dog in the yard didn’t seem so far-fetched. In just a two-month span, Mahal finished as the runner-up in the And...

Sir Roger Moore, who became an international star as the third actor to officially play James Bond, died at age 89. Moore joined the James Bond franchise for 1973's Live and Let Die, and would portray the suave British spy for six more films, retiring from the role after the release of A View to a Kill in 1985. Though he held the record for having anchored the Bond franchise the longest, Moore always viewed his accomplishments modestly. In a book he wrote about the experience, Bond on Bond: Reflections on 50 Years of James Bond Movies, he credited his predecessor, Sean Connery, with making Agent 007 "an instantly recognizable character the world over – he was rough, tough, mean, and witty."

Born to a Nigerian father and Korean mother and raised in Itaewon, Seoul, Hyun Min Han, is breaking down the country’s barriers as South Korea's first black model. At 6'2, Hyun only began modeling last year, after an agency found him on Instagram and arranged a meeting. They met at a coffee shop where they asked him to walk and signed him immediately. He's completely self-taught, having watched YouTube videos to learn how to stride. But impressively, two seasons ago, he opened for Heich Es Heich. At first glance, most people assume he isn’t Korean at all—rather, an international model, flown in to walk shows—and would speak to him in English backstage (which he can’t speak), or not at all and would be taken aback when they heard him speak Korean. He's been told by some designers and brands that because his skin is different, they can't work with him. But rather than leaving, this only pushes Hyun to work harder and build his own unique charm. ...

WWE Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss was the most recent guest on the ‘Talk is Jericho’ podcast with Chris Jericho. You can listen to the entire interview at this link. Below are a few of the highlights from the podcast: On Being a Heel: It’s a lot of fun. Like when I first found out that I was going to be a heel I had really bad anxiety because the character I portrayed before that was very bubbly, very Princess, completely not relatable whatsoever, so when they told me I was going to turn heel I had very bad anxiety because I don’t know how to be mean and make someone hate me so I had anxiety over it. We would have heat drills inside the Performance Center and I would just stop and start crying. In heat drills, you practice being mean to somebody. You grab your opponent, put some heat on him, say something mean and just keep going. It’s a really cool drill, but I would just have really bad anxiety, but then once I got used to it it just became so much more fun. On How the Tra...
