SummerSlam 2017: All the Title Changes, All the Results!
SummerSlam celebrated its 30th anniversary in grand fashion on Sunday night.
The WWE pay-per-view aired live from Brooklyn, with every major title on the line and every big name scheduled for in-ring combat.
Who came out on top of the fatal four-way main event? Which championship belts changed hands? What was the most surprising outcome?
Scroll down for a rundown of all the results…
The Miz and The Miztourage defeated The Hardy Boyz and Jason Jordan (pre-show match) via pinfall.
Neville defeated Akira Tozawa (pre-show) via pitfall to become the new Cruiserweight Champion.
The Usos defeated The New Day (pre-show via pinfall to win the SmackDown Tag Team Championship in a truly awesome match.
The Usos won after each climbed to the top rope and hit a Double Samoan Splash.
John Cena defeated Baron Corbin via pinfall after Cena nailed an Attitude Adjustment.
Natalya defeated Naomi via submission to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship.
(Carmella watched from a backstage monitor but ultimately never cashed in her Money in th Bank suitcase.)
Big Cass defeated Big Show via pinfall.
He won thanks to an Empire Elbow and also thanks to Enzo Amore getting out of the shark cage at one point to offer some assistance.
Randy Orton defeated Rusev via pinfall… despite getting attacked before the bell rang. Once the match got underway, Orton sidestepped Rusev and hit an RKO for a win in just seconds.
Sasha Banks defeated Alexa Bliss via submission to win the Raw Women’s Championship.
Finn Balor defeated Bray Wyatt via pitfall. Fairly short match, filled with fog around the ring and a lot of intensity. Balor won with the Coup De Grace.
Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins defeated Cesaro and Sheamus via pinfall to become the Raw Tag Team Champions.
Rollins hit a superkick on both champions, followed by a Rain Trigger onto Sheamus, which sent him into the hands of Ambrose – who nailed Dirty Deeds before getting the cover and the victory.
AJ Styles defeated Kevin Owens via painful to retain the United States Championship after Owens got into it with guest referee Shane McMahon.
Jinder Mahal defeated Shinsuke Nakamura via painful to retain the WWE Championship.
Late in the match, The Singh Brothers entered the ring, took a series of knees to the faces and allowed Mahal to steal the win as a result.
Brock Lesnar defeated Samoa Joe, Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman to retain Universal Title.
He did so by hitting Reigns with an F-5 after many near-victories by all competitors.

Jay-Z Album Title 4:44 EXPLAINED by Mind-Blowing Fan Theory on Twitter!
We briefly wondered why Jay-Z’s album was titled 4:44. Like, is it a time of day? And then we were distracted by all of the major bombshells that the lyrics contained.
Well, one fan posted a theory with a photo that would absolutely explain it and its deep meaning.
Of all of the bonkers conspiracy theories that have ever surrounded Jay-Z and Beyonce, this is the most plausible.
Okay, so … you remember that elevator video of Solange Knowles attacking the f–k out of Jay-Z?
That question’s rhetorical, because we all remember.
Solange seemed to fly into a rage, leaping at and attacking Jay-Z in that elevator.
Well, the elevator was at a hotel called The Standard.
And one very observant fan had an epiphany, took a photo, and shared it to Twitter.
That’s amazing, right?
And it would basically confirm that Solange’s fury was about Jay-Z’s cheating and the stress from his cheating (possibly) causing Beyonce to have miscarriages.
(We kind of knew that after Lemonade dropped, to be honest)
If the address is 444, then 4:44 as an album title makes a lot of sense, right?
Except that the truth is … somewhat stranger.
See, 444 is the address of Le Bain, which is a rooftop bar above The Standard.
The Standard’s address is 848 Washington Street.
Now, Jay-Z and Beyonce and Solange were coming back from Le Bain when the incident occurred.
But they were in an elevator within The Standard, which does not have that address.
In case you think that we’re being nitpicky, Jay-Z has already explained the name of the album.
4:44, the album, is named after “4:44,” the song.
And “4:44” is so named because Jay-Z woke up at 4:44am (a much more reasonable time to go to bed than to wake up) and wrote the song, confessing to sabotaging his marriage to Beyonce with his compulsive cheating.
So … we’re thinking that the address of Le Bain is probably a huge coincidence.
No number of explanations are going to put at ease the conspiracy theorists out there.
Remember, we live in a world where there are real people who believe that NASA has a child sex slave colony on Mars and that there’s a cloning factory where replacement celebrities are grown.
Every year, you see another detailed analysis of the Superbowl’s Halftime Show.
In real life, the Halftime Show is just the only part of the sportsball game that’s actually interesting or worthwhile.
In the minds of conspiracy theorists, these performances are all elaborate Illuminati rituals that are also Satanist and also Masonic even though those are different things and one of those is made up.
These conspiracy theories absolutely include Beyonce (who’s been part of a couple of Halftime Shows over the past several years) and Jay-Z. And even their children.
When Blue Ivy was born, the top trend on Twitter was a proposed acronym for Blue’s middle name: “Illuminati’s Very Youngest.”
While we admire such creativity, it’s worrisome that people actually believe any of these things.
So, yeah, anybody who believes this kind of stuff is probably going to believe literally whatever they want about Jay-Z’s album title.
But, let us assure you: it’s not that deep.

Star Wars Movie Title Prompts Fan Delight, Speculation
May we have a drum roll, please?
Walt Disney Studios has made a major announcement: Star Wars Episode VIII will be titled… THE LAST JEDI!
Wrote the company in a press release:
We have the greatest fans in this or any other galaxy. In appreciation of the fans, we wanted them to be the first to know the title of the next chapter in the Skywalker saga: STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI.
As you might expect, it didn"t take long for fans to react to this name. In a mostly positive manner!
Scroll around below for a look at some of the responses and questions spurred on by The Last Jedi revelation…
1. Where’s the Trailer?!?
“Omg Star wars episode 8: the last jedi! I can’t wait for the first trailer.” – @Jedi_RP
2. A Logistical Evolution
“Love how Ep.VII and Ep.VIII titles make a sentence: The Force awakens the last Jedi.” – @BrushYourTeeth
3. Hmmm…
“Jedi is both singular and plural. So this title could have multiple meanings. That makes it even more intriguing. And that red color…” – @StarWarsNewsNet
4. It’s Rey… Right?
“Who is the last jedi? is Rey the last jedi? but the plural for jedi is also jedi so this can refer to more than one jedi.” – @wakandaho
5. No, It’s Finn!
“listen: The Last Jedi Is Finn, The Boy, The Force Sensitive Ex-Stormtrooper. We All Know This. Finn. The Hero. That Boy, Finn.” – @reysolorgana
6. Is It Really the Last?!?
“the last jedi. at last a name! but is this one of those he’s not the last cause he had a kid and then the avatar opens a portal…” – @sophietalia

Caitlyn Jenner Biography: Title, Release Date Announced
Caitlyn Jenner is a reality star, an activist, a parent and an Olympic Gold Medalist.
In just a few short months, however, the transgender celebrity will be able to officially add yet another title to her ever-growing resume:
Author.
The stepfather of Khloe, Kourtney, Rob and Kim Kardashian has confirmed the release date of his upcoming memoir.
The book will be titled “The Secrets of My Life”* and it will be available for purchase on April 25, 2017.
(*We know Caitlyn has been very busy ever since her transition, but couldn’t she have spent a few extra minutes thinking of a more personal and unique title?!?)
The memoir will be written in collaboration with Buzz Bissinger, who penned the famous Vanity Fair cover story detailing Jenner’s transition to womanhood in April of last year.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and Friday Night Lights author was Jenner’s first choice as a partner on the project.
Jenner has lived quite the life. There will be a great deal to cover in this biography.
According to various sources, the memoir will go into Jenner’s childhood and career as an Olympic decathlete, for which she won the Gold Medal in 1976.
Long before she was better known for what her relatives were up to, Jenner was one of the most recognized and respected athletes on the planet.
The memoir will also delve into her three marriages (including the most recent one to Kris Jenner, of course), along with relationship with her kids, before getting into her transition and current experience as the world’s most famous transgender woman.
We expect this to be a best-seller.
There’s been talk of late that Caitlyn isn’t getting along so well with her family.
Was she really snubbed at Kendall Jenner’s 21st birthday party? There’s been talk that she wasn’t invited to the shindig.
Was she really told by Rob Kardashian to stay away from his daughter? There’s also been chatter that Caitlyn is yet to even meet his precious little grandchild.
Perhaps we’ll have fewer questions about Caitlyn’s world in April after the book comes out.
With Bissinger helping her write it, we can safely presume that this effort will be far more worth our time than past books released by members of Jenner’s family.
From Kris Jenner’s cookbook to actual novels penned by Kylie and Kendall Jenner, these people have somehow been under the impression that people want to read what they have to say.
Scroll around below to gain a better understanding of just how very wrong they have been…
WILL YOU PICK UP A COPY OF THE CAITLYN JENNER MEMOIR?

108-Year Old Cubs Fan Celebrates World Series Title
By now, you’ve probably heard:
The Chicago Cubs won the World Series title on Wednesday night.
Or on Thursday morning, to be specific, considering how long the 10-inning, rain-delayed affair took.
But that was nothing for an endless array of Cubs fans around the country, many of whom had waited decades to see Chicago finally fly the final W of the season.
The scene outside of Wrigley Field (above) was pretty chaotic and incredible, filmed just moments after the game’s concluding out.
But it wasn’t especially personal, not compared with some of the other footage and photos that have been circulating around the Internet.
Consider this 81-year old, for example, who wasn’t even alive the last time the Cubs won the World Series in 1908.
Check out his reaction to this historic victory:
Or take the case of Hazel Nilson, a 108-year old Chicago supporter who has gone viral due to the way she was “praying for a miracle” in the late innings of Game 7.
And when that miracle actually occurred?
YES BABY!
And that’s the thing about sports. Are there more important things in life than the outcome of a baseball game? Of course.
But there are very few things in life that bond people together in this kind of way.
It can be a matter of tens of thousands of strangers rallying around a common cause and putting aside their other differences for a few hours.
Or it can be a matter of parents and their children who have forged connections over their shared rooting interests that would have been difficult to forge in any other way.
Just look at the photo below.
It depicts Cubs fans last night who scrawled the name relatives that failed to live long enough to see the Cubs finally rule the baseball world. Pretty amazing, huh?
Plus, come on: when else can we all rally around the one and only Bill Murray?!?
Did the Cubs win last night? Yes. But in a way, we were all winners.
Except for Indians fans. Sorry, you guys.
But at least you have the Cavs!

Jill & Jessa Duggar Dropped From "Counting On" Show Title; Josh to Return in Season 2?!
With the news that TLC’s Jill & Jessa: Counting On is dropping the “Jill and Jessa” part of its name comes rumors of sweeping changes.
Among them? The return of the Duggar family pariah …
If Josh Duggar is returning to Counting On, as many suspect, his chorus of critics will surely be up in arms, asking the obvious question:
Why did TLC even cancel 19 Kids and Counting?
The Duggar family’s penchant for procreation was, and is, a crucial aspect of conversation – and life – on both iterations of the show.
Counting On will premiere at the end of August, sans Jill & Jessa in the name; Jill and Jessa’s roles in the coming season are unclear.
Jill and Derick Dillard’s return to Arkansas from their mission trip does signal that she will be available for additional filming, and press.
Still, it’s clear that the show is pivoting to a point.
A major focal point this season will be Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo’s engagement, and other siblings (Jana!) will play a big role, too.
All eyes are on one shadowy figure, though:
Rumors of Josh Duggar slowly being integrated back into the fold on the new season of Counting On have been surfacing for months.
In the wake of his molestation, pornography and affair scandals of the past year, this would certainly be a controversial move for TLC.
The network has offered no comment, and while the family has denied his return, they can only pretend he doesn’t exist for so long.
Last year, after advertisers threatened to pull out faster than Josh with Danica Dillon (sorry), the network canceled 19 Kids and Counting.
Soon enough, though, they floated a Josh-less trial balloon, and fans could watch Jill & Jessa Counting On online or on TV once more.
With the furor over Josh’s scandals dying down, is TLC quietly planning to add Josh back into the mix as it downplays Jill and Jessa?
If you think about it, this could be genius.
Not a full-scale reacclamation, but a brief appearance or two at first – enough to stoke some nice public outrage and generate headlines.
And ratings. Lots and lots of ratings.
Then, depending on just how freaked out advertisers get at the sight of this guy, they can decide how much further they want to push it.
This gives them options – enough of a chance to see how fans react, and wiggle room to scuttle his existence once again if need be.
Plus, Anna Duggar crying plays well with audiences. Really, how is this not a win-win for TLC and the disgraced child molester’s family.
What do you think, though?
Would Josh’s presence impact how you view the rest of the family? Would TLC be more or less likely to be “Counting On” you watching?

Karlie Hay to Retain Miss Teen USA Title Amidst N-Word Scandal
Earlier this month, Genesis Davis was stripped of her Miss Florida 2017 crown because she used professional hair and makeup artists in her private room.
That move violated company guidelines, so the pageant had no choice but to relieve Davis of her duties.
Fair enough, we suppose, but now contrast that decision with the one arrived at by Miss Teen USA officials this morning.
On Saturday night, Karlie Hay won this crown in a contest mostly comprised of white women with blonde hair and blue eyes.
The composition of the field, of course, was not the fault of the contestants themselves… but the same excuse can’t be used when it comes to Hay’s Twitter account.
Within hours of Hay’s victory, past Tweets in which Hay used the N-Word on multiple occasions went viral.
They all appear to have been from 2013 and they all seem to feature Hay throwing around that racial epithet in casual conversation.
To wit:
The Miss Universe Organization, which owns the Miss Teen USA pageant, condemned the messages, but has said Hay will keep her sash and the organization will support “her continued growth.”
“The language Karlie Hay used is unacceptable at any age and in no way reflects the values of the Miss Universe Organization,” higher-ups said in a statement obtained by KTRK.
On Instagram, meanwhile, Hay issued a lengthy statement of her own.
In it, she cites “personal struggles” as the basis for her N-Word usage back in the day.
“Several years ago, I had many personal struggles and found myself in a place that is not representative of who I am as a person,” wrote Hay, along with the photo featured below.
She continued:
“I admit that I have used language publicly in the past which I am not proud of and that there is no excuse for. Through hard work, education and thanks in large part to the sisterhood that I have come to know through pageants, I am proud to say that I am today a better person.
“I am honored to hold this title and I will use this platform to promote the values of The Miss Universe Organization, and my own, that recognize the confidence, beauty and perseverance of all women.”
Meanwhile, aside from Hay’s scandal, social media users criticized the organization after the top five finalists introduced at the Venetian in Las Vegas all turned out to be white.
And blonde-haired.
And blue-eyed.
“Wow how can we choose from such a diverse bunch,” Chrissy Teigen wrote in jest of the finalists in a tweet, adding:
“It’s fiiiiiine. Not their fault. I’m sure they are delightful women. Just funny. I’m not gonna write a think-piece on a damn pageant.”
No, neither are we.
But look at all the scandals that have befallen these pageants in the past (below) and then remind yourself that the year is 2016 and wonder:
How can these ridiculous things still exist?!?

Dancing With the Stars Results: Who Took Home the Title?!
Season 22 of Dancing With the Stars has come to a conclusion, and another name has been added to the annals of Mirror Ball champions.
With finalists Nyle DiMarco, Paige Van Zant and Ginger Zee all within two points of one another, it all came down to America’s votes.
Would Nyle DiMarco’s inspiring message and groundswell of fan support be enough to overtake the two talented ladies in the group?
Could Ginger Zee put the exclamation mark on an incredible season and comeback from an injury that nearly knocked her out last week?
Or was it Paige, perhaps the most talented and consistent of all three, who would emerge with the most votes, and the title, on Tuesday?
Before the final results, the top three had to perform for the judges one last time with a routine that fused together multiple dance styles.
Moreover, they only had 24 hours to put it all together!
Perfect 30s went to Nyle and Peta for a cha cha/tango and Paige and Mark for a jive/salsa. Ginger and Val scored 27 with their foxtrot/tango.
Those scores combined with their scores from the past two weeks – all razor-thin margins – and America’s votes to decide the winner.
Let’s get down to the finals Dancing With the Stars results …
After one of the closest finales ever, Season 22 has crowned its champion, and no matter what, he or she would be a deserving winner.
But congratulations to Nyle DiMarco and Peta Murgatroyd!
The deaf America’s Next Top Model winner spent all season changing the dancing game and winning raves for his emotional performances.
There’s no doubt he earned it on merit, but overcoming what he has and endearing himself to fans undoubtedly played a big factor.
Do you agree? Or would you have voted otherwise?
MMA fighter Paige VanZant took second place, as ABC News chief meteorologist Ginger Zee ended up in the bronze medal position.
While we wish that all three of the final dancers could share the crown, we’d like to congratulate them on a job well done all season.
Nyle, meanwhile, joins this list of DWTS winners!

Tamera Mowry-Housely Has a Title for Her Sex Tape
Sister, sister?
More like: oh brother!
With the Internet abuzz over the possibility of another Kim Kardashian sex tape, and also over the rumored existence of a Kylie Jenner sex tape, Tamera Mowry-Housely has swooped in and dropped an unexpected tidbit of her own:
She also has a sex tape!
What?!?
Allow the actress and talk show host to explain.
The topic was broached on Thursday"s episode of The Real, which is a daytime program that actually exists. Really, it does.
As the panelists discussed whether or not they watch pornographic material of any kind, Tamera chimed in with her take…
… and it included the bombshell that she once got it on with her husband as a camera rolled.
"Honestly, you guys, I don"t enjoy that," Tamera explained to the her co-hosts while discussing adult movies, adding:
"I"d rather make my own and have my husband watch me…In the comfort of my own home, you guys!"
Wait, so she"s done this before?!?
We did one…[and] I didn"t like it! I don"t like watching!" she replied.
Naturally, everyone else on The Real had a field day with this piece of information, with Jeannie Mai even asking if it has a title.
Turns out… it does!
"I don"t think you"re ready for it. You guys are going to get me in trouble!" Mowry-Housely responded, hemming and hawing before finally revealing her sex tape"s title:
"I am in SO much trouble but it would be called "Sweet and Juicy.""
Yup: Sweet and Juicy!
We"ll be honest: we"ve heard worse. As long as you don"t name your sex tape Backdoor Teen Mom or something, you"re pretty much fine at this point.
Watch the hilarious admission below:

WrestleMania 32 Results: Who Returned? Who Won the Title?
The biggest event on the WWE calendar took place on Sunday night from the biggest stadium in the country.
What went down on WrestleMania 32 in Dallas? Only a few shocking returns and one unexpected main event result…
Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match: Seven men entered the ring, along with one ladder.
Surprisingly, the man who stood at the top of it and grabbed the belt at the end was Zack Ryder, as the least expected of all the participants took down Kevin Owens, Dolph Ziggler, The Miz, Sami Zayn, Stardust and Sin Cara.
Chris Jericho defeated A.J. Styles via pinfall. Another surprise. Most fans assumed Jericho would put Styles over so that the WWE brass could really give him a push.
League of Nations defeated New Day via pinfall. This was unexpected given how clean of a loss it was for New Day, but whatever. Afterward, Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels and Mick Foley came down to the ring and used their finishes to take care of League of Nations.
The crowd went insane.
Brock Lesnar defeated Dean Ambrose via pinfall in a No Holds Barred Street Fight. Lesnar used 13 (!!!!) suplexes to get the job done, throwing Ambrose on to a pile of chairs with the final one before nailing the F5.
Charlotte defeated Becky Lynch (via submission) and Sasha Banks to return the Women’s Championship. Snoop Dogg led his cousin to the ring and the three combatants put on what many consider to have been the Match of the Night.
The Undertaker defeated Shane McMahon via pinfall in Hell in a Cell. As expected, Shane hurled his body all around, highlighted by a Van Terminator that sent both men out of the cage, along with a 20-foot dive from the top of the structure.
But of course The Undertaker actually won in the end.
Baron Corbin won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Shaquille O’Neal showed up for this event! He didn’t last long in the ring, however. Corbin threw Kane over the top rope to win.
The Rock defeated Erick Rowan via pinfall. This was an impromptu match that lasted sis seconds after The Rock hit a Rock Bottom.
John Cena then showed up and helped The Rock clear the ring of The Wyatt Family members.
Roman Reigns defeated Triple H via pinfall. We have a new champion, folks! The tide changed after Reigns hit Stephanie McMahon after Triple H moved out of the way of a spear. The veteran than grabbed his sledgehammer, but Reigns countered with a successful spear and a three-count.
