WWE should just switch NXT with RAW and call it a day. That's better WRESTLING than I've seen in nearly 15 years on RAW (more or less, not withstanding the odd match here or there) and come on, Finn Balor's entrance was pretty good. Not sure I like him wearing the get up every time out, but hey WWE right?

I agree, and it's quite understandable, since these guys are working hard to make a name for themselves, as opposed to many of the already established superstars. However, I'm not sure it would be wise for them to be "promoted". :laugh:

 

Balor's entrance was ok, too artistic for my taste, but it got me thinking about people always ranting about Taker's entrance being too long. :rofl: Also, the first time he showed up, the first thing that popped in my mind was Boogeyman.

Just days after earning unanimous acclaim for the exciting NXT TakeOver: R Evolution event, the entire roster of NXT ? the ?developmental? league of World Wrestling Entertainment ? has been slapped with a 30-day suspension after a Wellness Policy test revealed dangerously high levels of charisma and talent.

 
The NXT Wellness Policy ? launched in order to prevent the rookie wrestlers from upstaging WWE?s main-roster talent ? includes thorough tests for banned substances such as passion, cardiovascular superiority, and an innate sense for what wrestling fans want to see.
 
Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens in particular were singled out, getting sidelined with 60-day suspensions for what the Wellness Policy test described as ?intoxicating levels of awesome.?
 
?We can?t have these hungry young talents making stars like main-roster Ryback look clunky by comparison,? said WWE COO Hunter Hearst Helmsley during a conference call with media. ?He?s doing a fine job of that by himself.
 
With the entire NXT locker room now on unpaid hiatus, WWE can focus its efforts on giving fans what they truly want: a Stairs Match to settle a feud that makes no sense, and something involving a midget in a bull costume.

There is a lot of speculation among wrestling fans that WWE may potentially bring back the old European Championship for Rusev and Lana.

 
Lana posted a photo of the old European title on her official Instagram page earlier this weekend. The photo featured the title with the new WWE logo on it. Soon after posting it, Lana quickly deleted it. The post featured a caption which included a ?#RAW? hash-tag.
 
The WWE European Championship was retired back in 2002.

      Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By Case_f · Posted

      Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)

      Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.

    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
