At WWE Fastlane, some might say that Intercontinental Champion Big E will once again be putting his title on the line against Apollo Crews.## Friday's SmackDown saw Apollo Crews officially turn heel by attacking IC Champion Big E. Not only did he attack Shinsuke Nakamura, but he also injured Big E.## A Few weeks ago Apollo Crews Crews unleashed a vicious steel step assault on the titleholder and eventually dropped the unforgiving implement out of the ring and seemingly on top of The Power of Positivity. The attack was so vicious that Big E was taken out on a stretcher.## Due to the attack, Big E suffered injuries but seems to be fired up to challenge Apollo Crews for the IC Title match at Fastlane. On Friday Night SmacKDown 3/12, Big E returned from injury, apparently, Apollo Crews to have a title match.## After Big E had defended the title in an Open Challenge against Sami Zayn, however, his brash adversary attacked him from behind and went on to inform the WWE Universe that he would take his title match at WWE Fastlane.## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk For More Updates...

'Avengers: Endgame', that released about 18 months ago, did wonder at the box office and became the highest grosser movie of all-time with $2.797 billion, in a record time of 3 months due to unprecedented demand that may never again be replicated. However, the time has come for Avengers: Endgame to handover its title of "highest grosser of all-time" to the previous holder, James Cameron's groundbreaking sci-fi epic, "Avatar". ## "Avatar", that released in 2009, was the highest grosser movie for almost a decade until "Endgame" took the worldwide box office by storm in 2019. But on Friday, "Avatar" returned to movie theaters in China, which is witnessing a massive boom post-Covid there, and grossed $3.5 million (according to Variety), pushing its total haul to a historic $2.7926 billion. After this weekend, "Avatar" is expected to take back the top box office prize.## Heading into Avatar's re-release this weekend in China, Avengers: Endgame stood at $858.37M domestic, $1.939 billion overseas for a total of $2.797 billion total. Avatar's grosses stood at $760.5M, $2.029 billion foreign, and $2.789 worldwide.## Though "Avatar" was released by 20th Century Fox, Disney now owns the property after the companies merged in 2019. With Disney's acquisition of Fox's film assets, the Walt Disney Company houses eight of the 10-highest grossing movies.## On the other hand, James Cameron has been working busily on the sequels, returning to production last May in New Zealand on part 2 as Covid cases calmed there. Disney has scheduled Avatar 2 for Dec. 16, 2022; part 3 for Dec. 20, 2024; part 4 for Dec. 18, 2026; and part five for Dec. 22, 2028.## Stay tuned...

The main event at AEW Revolution saw Kenny Omega defended the AEW World Championship against Jon Moxley in an Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch. In this particular match, three of the four sides of the ring ropes were replaced with barbed wire, which would explode if a wrestler made contact with them, and if the match did not conclude within 30 minutes, the ring would explode and whoever was left standing would be the winner.## In the end, Omega received help from his allies Don Callis and The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson) in beating up Moxley and handcuffing him. Omega then won the match after performing a "One-Winged Angel" on Moxley onto a steel chair. After the match, Omega, Gallows, and Anderson continued to beat down Moxley until the one-minute timer began counting down for the ring to explode.## The three departed but before the ring could explode, Eddie Kingston ran down to try and save Moxley. Kingston was not able to unhandcuff Moxley and covered Moxley to protect him from the explosion. Medical personnel tended to both wrestlers as the show went off the air.## There was negative criticism towards the aftermath of the Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch, in which the ring was set to detonate after a 30-minute timer expired, with Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley still inside, but ended in a visually weak-looking explosion that "didn't come anywhere near" the wrestlers, leading to what critics felt was an underwhelming payoff.## AEW World Champion Omega, expressed his disappointment with the dud and issued the following statement to the Wrestling Observer on the explosion:## “Yeah, it was really deflating to do so much preparation, test the explosions, have them be impressive in the rehearsal, and then have it be something so much different than what was promised. It made me appreciate everyone who worked hard and did their part even more, though. But like you said, we really wanted to have a good one, and we added real barbed wire to help with the feeling of danger so we really risked a lot. Again, I loved the match, glad we did it, sucks about the finale.”## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk For More Updates...
