Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming magnum opus, Love and War, has been a major talking point in the industry since it was first announced. Featuring the powerhouse trio of Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, the film is easily one of the most anticipated releases of 2027. As we get closer to the production stages, the commercial interest in the project has come under the spotlight. According to an exclusive report by Variety India, a high-stakes bidding war is currently underway between three major distribution giants: Dharma Productions, Zee Studios, and Pen Marudhar. The negotiations highlight just how valuable this property is in the current market. Sources suggest that the bidders are currently offering between 175 Crore and 180 Crore for the theatrical distribution rights. However, the makers are reportedly holding out for a much higher figure, demanding upwards of 300 Crore. This gap in valuation is common for a project of this scale, especially given Bhansali's track record for delivering visually stunning and commercially successful epics. Securing a distribution partner this early would significantly reduce the recovery pressure on the production as it heads toward its 2027 release. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) What makes Love and War a relatively safe bet for distributors is its incredible recovery through non-theatrical avenues. The film has already reportedly recovered over 200 Crore before a single frame has been released to the public. Netflix has secured the post-theatrical streaming rights for a staggering 130 Crore, while music and satellite rights have brought in another 70 to 80 Crore. This financial cushion allows the makers to negotiate from a position of strength. The film is being produced on a grand scale, and the multi-language release in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil ensures a pan-Indian footprint. The casting remains the film's biggest asset, bringing together three of the finest actors of this generation. For Ranbir Kapoor, this marks a long-awaited reunion with Bhansali nearly two decades after his debut in Saawariya. Alia Bhatt, fresh off the global success of Gangubai Kathiawadi, continues her creative partnership with the director. While this is Vicky Kaushal's first time working under Bhansali's direction, his previous collaborations with Ranbir in Sanju and Alia in Raazi have already shown the great chemistry this trio shares on screen. The film is described as an epic romantic war drama, a genre that Bhansali is uniquely equipped to handle. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The road to the theaters has seen its fair share of scheduling shifts. Initially planned for a Christmas 2025 release, the timeline was first moved to March 2026 and has now been officially locked for January 21, 2027. These delays are largely attributed to the meticulous pre-production and the busy individual schedules of the lead stars. However, fans might not have to wait much longer for the first official glimpse. Reports from industry sources suggest that a major asset from the movie is slated to be released on August 15. This Independence Day reveal is expected to set the tone for the marketing campaign and provide a first look at the world Bhansali is creating.

Mumbai, August 10 - The Independence Day weekend is set to witness an exciting clash at the Hindi box office as Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2 takes on Sunny Deol's Batwara 1947 on August 14, 2026. While both films belong to different genres and are targeting different audiences, the early trade buzz suggests that Awarapan 2 has gained a clear advantage ahead of the release. Though the situation could change once bookings begin and marketing campaigns reach their peak, the sequel is currently leading the race. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to early trade projections, Awarapan 2 is expected to open in the 15 crore net range at the Indian box office. The sequel has generated strong excitement thanks to the cult status of the 2007 original, which found a massive fan following after its theatrical release. Its teaser, music, and nostalgia factor have resonated well with audiences, making it the favourite to secure the biggest opening of Emraan Hashmi's career. On the other hand, Batwara 1947 is currently tracking for an opening day collection in the 5-7 crore net range. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and backed by Aamir Khan, the period drama stars Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta, Karan Deol, and Shabana Azmi. While the film has the advantage of releasing during the Independence Day holiday and could benefit from positive word of mouth, its pre-release buzz is presently behind that of Awarapan 2, resulting in a comparatively modest opening-day projection. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) It is important to note that these are early trade estimates, and the box office scenario can change significantly closer to release depending on trailer response, promotional campaigns, advance bookings, and audience sentiment. However, based on the current momentum, Emraan Hashmi's romantic action sequel is clearly winning the opening-day battle, with Batwara 1947 likely relying on strong reviews and positive audience reception to bridge the gap over the extended weekend.

This week's episode of Monday Night Raw will take place on Monday, August 10, 2026, live from Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. Monday Night Raw currently airs live on Netflix on Monday evenings from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM ET in the United States. All Confirmed and Predicted Matches for WWE Raw, August 10, 2026 Penta vs. Laredo Kid — World Heavyweight Championship #1 Contender's Tournament (Round One) Roman Reigns is set to defend the World Heavyweight Championship on September 14 in Mexico City, and AAA General Manager Rey Mysterio has built an eight-man lucha tournament to determine who gets that shot. The bracket pulls from the best luchadores across Raw, SmackDown, and AAA, with the winner earning a title match against Reigns in Mexico City. Penta enters as arguably the tournament favorite — the reigning multi-time Intercontinental Champion and, per multiple reports, the presumptive top star of this bracket. Interestingly, analysts have pointed out the bracket appears built toward a dream final between Penta and his real-life brother Rey Fenix, who could meet in the final if both advance. Laredo Kid, meanwhile, is no pushover — he's the male half of AAA's World Mixed Tag Team Champions and gets his first real singles moment on Raw. Whoever wins moves on to face the winner of Psycho Clown vs. La Parka in the semifinals on August 24. Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez vs. Sol Ruca & a Partner of Her Choosing Sol Ruca has been in the crosshairs of Judgment Day for weeks — she dropped the Women's Intercontinental Championship to Raquel Rodriguez after repeated interference from Perez and Liv Morgan, then got another receipt just last week when a competitive singles match between Ruca and Perez ended in disqualification after Ruca was on the verge of victory before the group jumped her three-on-one. With Judgment Day repeatedly stacking the numbers against her, giving Ruca the freedom to handpick her own partner is a built-in payback mechanic — she finally gets to even the odds on her terms instead of being ambushed. Expect the "mystery partner" angle to be used to tease alliances from Becky Lynch, Stephanie Vaquer, or another Judgment Day rival looking to strike. Austin Theory vs. Akira Tozawa This one grew directly out of a Bron Breakker angle two weeks ago. After Breakker dispatched Joe Hendry, Theory tried to lay in extra shots post-match, only for Alpha Academy's Akira Tozawa to run in and make the save, avenging his tag partner Otis in the process. That confrontation has been simmering since — Tozawa repeatedly getting under the skin of The Vision, and Theory (alongside Maxxine Dupri) looking to shut him down. With Bron Breakker now positioned in a bigger program against Oba Femi, this feels like a spinoff feud designed to keep Theory occupied and give Alpha Academy a measure of retribution against The Vision's antagonism. Becky Lynch Appears Live Becky Lynch made her return during the post-SummerSlam Raw, and it was anything but a quiet one. She returned to a big pop and told fans her business with the Intercontinental Championship was finished, immediately pivoting to Liv Morgan and the Women's World Championship. She called Morgan the worst women's champion of all time and vowed not to let her reach 100 days as champion without a fight. She also landed a shot aimed at Morgan's personal life involving Dominik Mysterio, which drew a big reaction from the crowd. Stephanie Vaquer Appears Live Vaquer's return was the other half of that same explosive segment — La Primera's music hit as Judgment Day tried to leave the ring, and she tore through the group taking out months of pent-up frustration on Morgan. What made it especially intriguing is that she returned in the same moment as Lynch, and the two stared each other down without coming to blows — an open-ended tease of a potential future rivalry between them, even as both seem aligned against Judgment Day for now. Commentary and analysts have flagged this dynamic as one to watch, since Vaquer returning alongside an equally hot Lynch return risks overshadowing one or the other unless WWE gives each her own distinct spotlight. How To Watch Monday Night Raw, August 10, 2026 Fans in the United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico can catch the show live at 8 PM ET / 7 PM CT / 5 PM PT on Monday via Netflix. Canadian viewers get the same Monday night slot at 8 PM ET, also on Netflix. Across the Atlantic, the UK and Ireland will need to stay up late, with the show airing at 1 AM BST on Tuesday, again streaming on Netflix. In Mexico, fans are treated to an evening broadcast at 6 PM CST on Monday, also on Netflix, while Brazil gets its feed at 9 PM BRT that same Monday night. For Asian audiences, India will see Raw early Tuesday morning at 5:30 AM IST, with Bangladesh following shortly after at 6:00 AM BST — both on Netflix. Singapore's broadcast lands at 8:00 AM SGT on Tuesday, while China gets the show at 8:00 AM CST on Tuesday, though it airs there via iQIYI instead of Netflix. Meanwhile, Australian viewers can tune in mid-morning on Tuesday, at 10:00 AM AEST / 11:00 AM AEDT, and Japan rounds things out with a 9:00 AM JST Tuesday slot on Abema.

Yash Raj Films is making a move that has caught the attention of many in the industry as the studio prepares to enter the horror genre for the first time. According to an exclusive report by Lets Cinema, Aditya Chopra has chosen Abhay Pannu to direct this upcoming project. Pannu is widely recognized for his work on the series Rocket Boys, which was praised for its technical finesse and strong storytelling. This collaboration marks a significant moment for YRF, a production house that has spent decades defining the standards of mainstream Indian cinema through entirely different genres. To understand the weight of this decision, one has to look at the massive legacy YRF has established since its foundation. Starting with Daag in 1973, the studio spent decades defining the romantic aesthetic of Indian cinema with classics like Kabhi Kabhie, Silsila, and Chandni. It was during this era that the studio also experimented with psychological tension in Darr, a film that redefined the romantic antagonist and became a landmark thriller. By the mid-90s and early 2000s, YRF became synonymous with the definitive Indian romance through blockbusters like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Dil To Pagal Hai, and Veer-Zaara, which remain cultural touchstones to this day. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As of 2026, YRF has cemented its position as one of the most commercially successful studios in the country. According to a report by Hindustan Times, the production house has earned a total of 4,925 crore from just 76 films. This represents an incredible level of efficiency when compared to other industry giants like T-Series, which has earned 5,697 crore but required 117 films to reach that figure. YRF's high average earnings per film highlight a strategy focused on premium theatrical experiences and massive star vehicles, a trend that was further solidified by the recent success of the romantic hit Saiyaara. A massive part of this financial dominance in the modern era comes from the creation of the YRF Spy Universe. This interconnected franchise, starting with the Tiger series and expanding into War and Pathaan, has fundamentally changed box office expectations in India. Pathaan alone grossed over 1,050 crore worldwide, playing a critical role in reviving the theatrical market post-pandemic. The studio has also shown a willingness to back rooted, content-driven narratives such as the National Award-winning Dum Laga Ke Haisha, the sports drama Sultan, and the social drama Hichki, proving that their brand can adapt to realistic storytelling just as easily as it handles glamour. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The choice of Abhay Pannu for this horror project suggests that YRF is aiming for a grounded and sophisticated take on the genre rather than relying on traditional tropes. Pannu’s work on Rocket Boys demonstrated a penchant for meticulous detail and technical finesse, qualities that align perfectly with the YRF philosophy of delivering polished, large-scale cinema. By bringing in a new-age directorial voice for their first-ever horror feature, the studio is looking to capture a segment of the audience that has shown a growing appetite for atmospheric and narrative-heavy thrillers. Ultimately, this pivot into horror is a bold but calculated step for Aditya Chopra. The studio has already mastered the art of the romantic drama and the blockbuster action film, and entering a new creative space is a way to test their boundaries. With pre-production already underway and a massive theatrical release planned for 2027, the industry will be watching closely to see how the first horror chapter in the YRF legacy begins to take shape. Given their history of redefining genres, there is a strong expectation that this venture will set a new benchmark for horror in mainstream Indian cinema.

For over a decade, Joe Anoa'i — better known as Roman Reigns — has been at the center of WWE's biggest storylines, biggest matches, and biggest business decisions. Few performers in the company's history have carried the weight of the brand quite the way he has, headlining WrestleMania after WrestleMania while the product built itself around his character arc. What makes his story stand out isn't just longevity; it's the sheer range of it — a career that has moved through nearly every phase a wrestler can go through, from hated pretender to beloved hero to a villain the audience couldn't look away from. From a breakout member of The Shield to the "Tribal Chief" who headlined the industry's most dominant title reign in modern history, his journey is one of the most complete stories WWE has ever told. Here are the ten moments that built him into the company's cornerstone — the wins, the setbacks, and the reinventions that turned Roman Reigns into the undisputed face of WWE. 1. The Shield Storms In — Survivor Series 2012 Roman Reigns made his main-roster debut on November 18, 2012, ambushing the ring alongside Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose to help CM Punk retain the WWE Championship. The Shield's arrival instantly reshaped WWE's landscape, and Reigns — the imposing enforcer of the trio — was immediately marked as a star in the making. 2. The Betrayal That Made Him a Singles Star — June 2014 On the June 2, 2014 episode of Raw, Seth Rollins turned on his Shield brothers, blasting Reigns with a steel chair and ending the faction. The split forced Reigns out of the group dynamic and into a singles push, setting him on the path WWE had been building toward: its next top guy. 3. Winning the Royal Rumble — January 2015 Reigns won the 2015 Royal Rumble Match, last eliminating Big Show, in a moment WWE clearly intended as a coronation. The reaction was famously divisive — fans openly rebelled against the push — but the match cemented WWE's commitment to making him the franchise's centerpiece, for better or worse. 4. Ending an Era — Defeating The Undertaker at WrestleMania 33 At WrestleMania 33 in 2017, Reigns beat The Undertaker in a No Holds Barred match, becoming only the second man ever to defeat the Deadman at WrestleMania. The Undertaker left his hat, coat, and gloves in the ring afterward — a symbolic passing of the torch that instantly raised Reigns' stature among the all-time greats. 5. The Torch-Passing Over John Cena — No Mercy 2017 In September 2017, Reigns defeated John Cena in a clean, hard-hitting match at No Mercy. Though it happened on a secondary pay-per-view, the bout is remembered as a definitive changing of the guard between WWE's dominant star of the 2000s–2010s and the man being groomed to replace him. 6. Finally Beating Brock Lesnar — SummerSlam 2018 After years of chasing him, Reigns defeated Brock Lesnar to win the Universal Championship at SummerSlam 2018. It was the validation moment fans had waited years for — proof that Reigns could beat the company's most dominant "conqueror" for the top title. 7. The Leukemia Announcement — October 2018 Weeks after winning the title, Reigns stunned the wrestling world on the October 22, 2018 Raw by revealing his leukemia had returned and relinquishing the Universal Championship to focus on his health. The raw, emotional moment humanized him overnight, transforming public perception and rallying the entire industry behind him. 8. The Reinvention — SummerSlam 2020 and the Birth of the Tribal Chief After stepping away for COVID-19 precautions and missing WrestleMania 36, Reigns returned at SummerSlam 2020 with a shocking heel turn, aligning with Paul Heyman and attacking Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman. This rebirth as "The Tribal Chief" — colder, more calculated, and unapologetically dominant — is widely regarded as the true beginning of his prime and the character work that finally won over the audience. 9. Breaking Brock Lesnar's Record — January 2022 On January 16, 2022, Reigns surpassed Brock Lesnar's 503-day reign to become the longest-reigning Universal Champion in WWE history. It was statistical proof of just how thoroughly he had taken over the company at the top of the card. 10. Unifying the Titles — WrestleMania 38 At WrestleMania 38 in 2022, Reigns defeated Brock Lesnar to also capture the WWE Championship, unifying it with his Universal Championship to become the first-ever Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. It was the culmination of nearly two years of storytelling and confirmed him, definitively, as the face of the entire promotion.

John Cena walked away from WWE in December 2025 with 17 world championships, a Grand Slam, and a resume that reads like a history book of the last two decades of professional wrestling. He beat The Rock, ended feuds with Lesnar, Undertaker, HHH, Angle, Edge, Orton, Batista, Punk, Styles, Owens, Rollins, Reigns, and dozens more across a 23-year run that closed with a tap-out loss to Gunther at Saturday Night's Main Event. But even a career that sprawling has holes in it. Some opponents were in a different company. Some were on the same roster for years and just never got booked against him. Some were on the wrong side of history — retired, injured, or simply timed out before creative connected the dots. Here's my ranking of the 10 dream opponents who never got their moment with Cena, and why each would've been must-see wrestling. 1. John Cena vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin This is the granddaddy of every "what if" list in WWE history. Austin and Cena represent two of the biggest merchandise-movers and most bankable stars the company has ever produced, from two entirely different eras of storytelling — Austin's beer-swilling rebellion versus Cena's hustle-loyalty-respect superhero routine. The two never actually locked up, though Austin did serve as a special guest referee for a string of Cena's SmackDown title defenses back in 2005, overseeing wins over JBL and Kurt Angle. When Cena was asked directly why it never happened, his answer was refreshingly simple: nobody ever pulled the trigger on it. He's said he would have loved to wrestle Austin, along with Andre the Giant, but chose to focus on gratitude for the matches he did get rather than the ones that slipped away. Given Austin's limited, sporadic in-ring appearances since the mid-2000s, this is a match that was always more likely to live in highlight-reel fantasy than reality — but it's still the one fans debate loudest. 2. John Cena vs. Goldberg Cena and Goldberg crossed paths exactly once in a competitive setting — the 2004 Royal Rumble, where both men entered late and were eliminated within minutes of each other, Goldberg going out 24th and Cena 25th. Beyond that, despite Goldberg's surprise 2016 return giving him fresh programs against Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, The Undertaker, and Kevin Owens, a singles match with Cena simply never materialized. Both men have publicly wished it had. Goldberg has said he never got the chance to put his hands around Cena's throat and admitted that would have been fun, while Cena, asked about it directly at a fan convention, shrugged it off with a joke about nobody ever telling him to do it. With both stars running retirement tours in the same calendar year, some in the wrestling media even pushed publicly for WWE to finally book the collision before either man hung up his boots — but the moment never came. 3. John Cena vs. Ric Flair The Nature Boy shared the ring with essentially every major star of the last five decades — Hogan, Steamboat, Sting, Michaels, Triple H, Batista — spanning the WCW, NWA, and WWE eras. Somehow, a Flair-Cena singles match never happened, despite years of overlap on WWE programming during Cena's ascension in the mid-2000s. The stylistic contrast alone makes this one of the more tantalizing misses: Flair's chop-heavy, psychology-driven old-school formula against Cena's power-babyface, five-moves-of-doom arsenal. A Figure-Four attempt countered into an Attitude Adjustment would have been the kind of moment that bridges wrestling generations. 4. John Cena vs. Kazuchika Okada Often billed by fans and pundits as New Japan Pro-Wrestling's answer to Cena — a franchise cornerstone who carried his promotion on his back for over a decade — Okada's career arc ran almost parallel to Cena's later years. The two were never on the same roster at the same time, and any lingering hope of a crossover dream match effectively ended when Okada signed with AEW rather than WWE. It remains one of the biggest "closest we'll ever get is a highlight reel" matchups in the sport, a genuine East-meets-West spectacle that wrestling fans on both sides of the Pacific wanted. 5. John Cena vs. Drew McIntyre This is arguably the most glaring miss on the list, simply because of how much runway existed for it. McIntyre had two separate stints on WWE's main roster overlapping with Cena's career, including his rise to two-time world champion status in the 2020s, and the two never once collided in a marquee singles match. McIntyre was even floated by wrestling media as a logical dance partner for Cena during his 2025 farewell tour, given the timing of McIntyre's redemption arc as a future Hall of Famer, but the creative never lined up before Cena's final bell rang. 6. John Cena vs. Kenny Omega The AEW ace built his reputation on hard-hitting, high-drama epics in NJPW, DDT, and AEW, and his career overlapped almost entirely with Cena's part-time run and retirement tour — but on the opposite side of the WWE/AEW divide, meaning the two never so much as shared a building. Omega's chaotic, physically punishing in-ring style against Cena's methodical, crowd-pandering formula represents exactly the kind of "different wrestling worlds colliding" dream match that fans still book in their heads on message boards and podcasts. 7. John Cena vs. MJF Before any physical contact, this matchup sells itself on the microphone. MJF built his entire AEW persona as a smarmy, self-obsessed heel mouthpiece, the stylistic opposite of Cena's aw-shucks, crowd-rallying babyface energy — and arguably the closest thing wrestling has produced to a spiritual successor to Cena's promo command, just inverted. A pre-match war of words between the two would have been appointment viewing regardless of who eventually won the bout. 8. John Cena vs. Bron Breakker WWE's next-generation powerhouse has drawn Goldberg comparisons for his explosiveness, and Goldberg himself specifically named Breakker as a fresh option he'd want to face in his own final run. Breakker's spear-and-power arsenal against Cena's five-moves-of-doom, capped by a passing-of-the-torch finish, would have made thematic sense as a way to formally hand the "next face of WWE" torch to the current generation — but the timing during Cena's farewell tour never aligned. 9. John Cena vs. Jey Uso Uso eliminated Cena from the 2025 Royal Rumble, and that moment briefly sparked real speculation about a proper singles follow-up between two of the most consistently beloved characters on WWE television. But Uso spent much of the rest of 2025 entangled in the World Heavyweight Championship picture, and the singles blowoff never got scheduled. Given how thunderously both men get over with live crowds, a full-length Cena-Uso singles match, likely a big babyface-vs-babyface crowd-pleaser, remains one of the more painful "so close" misses of Cena's final year. 10. John Cena vs. LA Knight Knight came the closest of anyone on this list to actually getting the match. He advanced deep into the "Last Time Is Now" tournament that determined Cena's final opponent, only to fall short to Gunther in the final. Given Knight's crowd-command style — arguably the most Cena-like energy on the current roster — a Knight-Cena passing-of-the-torch match, with Knight going over to cement his own ascension, felt like the more poetic send-off some fans wanted instead of the submission loss Cena ultimately chose.

In an interview, WWE's Nick Aldis reflected on the early days of his run as SmackDown General Manager, revealing how a pivotal on-screen exchange with Roman Reigns helped shape the tone of his character — and recounting the chaotic backstage story behind his first meeting with Vince McMahon. WWE Superstar Nick Aldis spoke to Chris Van Vliet and described a now-famous couch segment with Reigns as a genuinely significant moment for him professionally. He praised Reigns as meticulous and deeply thoughtful about every detail of his on-screen presence, crediting Paul Heyman's influence for helping shape that approach. Aldis said he felt real gratitude toward Reigns, noting that Reigns didn't have to extend him that level of trust in establishing the GM character, but chose to. The interview then turned to a story from very early in his tenure — by his own estimate, just a month or six weeks into the job — involving Randy Orton's arrival on SmackDown. Aldis explained that strict staging instructions were coming down at the time about where he and Heyman should stand during a live segment. Just before they went live, word came through again insisting he stay in the background while Heyman took the foreground. He recalled Heyman being amused by the directive, and Aldis feeling he had no real choice but to comply with seconds to air. The segment reportedly went off well, with Paul "Triple H" Levesque doing the opposite of what was expected in a way that sold the moment. That day, Aldis said, turned out to be the first time he ever met Vince McMahon in person — who was there watching. Aldis admitted he spent the moments afterward dreading the encounter, assuming McMahon would be furious they'd deviated from instructions. Instead, he said McMahon was gracious and complimentary about the segment, which left Aldis feeling conflicted given how much credit he felt Heyman deserved. Asked about Reigns couch segment, Aldis explained it emerged from an improvised back-and-forth where Reigns needled him about his feelings, prompting him to fire back, "but I'm an executive. I don't have feelings, you know." He said the line was meant to establish his character as a cold, businesslike executive, citing shows like Suits and Succession as influences on that steely persona — cool, cutthroat, and, in his own description, ultimately someone who's emotionally shut off. At WWE SummerSlam 2026 (Night 1, August 1, in Minneapolis), Nick Aldis wrestled in a match despite his in-ring absence of almost three years,, taking on Gunther. He came up short against Gunther, succumbing to Gunther's sleeper hold submission. Despite the loss, it was described as a dream match turned nightmare, with fans firmly behind him throughout. Following the loss, Aldis reportedly tried to resign as SmackDown General Manager, but Triple H (Paul Levesque) wouldn't allow it, telling Aldis he respected what he did at SummerSlam and wanted him to remain GM. On future plans, it is being suggested that Aldis could wrestle in WWE again, with sources in the company not believing he was "one and done." Aldis was said to have been banged up coming out of the match, and no timeline has been confirmed for when he'd wrestle next.

WWE has released the first official promotional poster for Survivor Series: WarGames 2026, giving fans their first glimpse of the marketing campaign for the company's second-longest-running pay-per-view event. The newly revealed artwork features Roman Reigns standing alone as the centrepiece of the poster. No other WWE Superstars appear alongside him, with WWE choosing to spotlight the reigning World Heavyweight Champion as the face of this year's event. The decision has already sparked widespread discussion among fans about Reigns' potential role and opponent heading into November. While WWE has yet to announce any matches for Survivor Series: WarGames, the promotional image strongly suggests that Roman Reigns will be one of the event's biggest attractions. Whether he enters the Premium Live Event as champion or finds himself involved in another major storyline remains to be seen. Survivor Series: WarGames 2026 is scheduled to take place on Saturday, November 28, at Daikin Park in Houston, Texas. The event will mark the 40th edition of Survivor Series and the fifth consecutive year that the Premium Live Event has been presented under the WarGames branding. Tickets officially went on sale this week following WWE's announcement of the host venue. The poster arrives just days after SummerSlam, as WWE begins shifting its focus toward the remainder of the 2026 calendar. With Roman Reigns receiving the first major promotional spotlight, speculation is already building over who could stand across the ring from "The Tribal Chief" when Survivor Series: WarGames heads to Houston later this year.

Mumbai, August 7 - In a major expansion of its filmmaking slate, Yash Raj Films (YRF) is reportedly set to enter the horror genre for the very first time. The prestigious banner behind iconic romantic and family films has reportedly locked Varun Dhawan to headline its maiden horror feature, marking yet another collaboration between the actor and the studio after Sui Dhaaga. The ambitious project is expected to go on floors later this year and is currently eyeing a theatrical release in 2027. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) According to Bollywood Hungama, the film will reportedly be directed by Abhay Pannu, who earned widespread acclaim for the critically acclaimed series Rocket Boys. Interestingly, this will also mark Pannu's theatrical directorial debut. While YRF has built successful franchises across action, romance, comedy and spy thrillers over the years, the studio has never produced a full-fledged horror film. This project signals Aditya Chopra's intent to diversify the banner's content beyond its established genres. For Varun Dhawan, the project represents another exciting addition to his evolving filmography. The actor has previously explored supernatural territory with Bhediya, which emerged as one of Bollywood's creature-comedy films. However, this upcoming YRF production is expected to be a straight horror film rather than a horror-comedy, offering Varun a chance to headline a different kind of genre entertainer. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) If the reports materialise as expected, YRF's horror debut could potentially open the door for the studio to develop an entirely new franchise alongside its blockbuster Spy Universe. With Abhay Pannu behind the camera and Varun Dhawan leading the cast, the project has already generated significant curiosity among moviegoers. More details regarding the supporting cast, title, and storyline are expected to be announced once the film officially enters production.
