Yeah, neither Punk or Cena need the rub, but the dilemma with ending Taker's streak is that you can't really give the honour to someone outside of their position (establish main-eventers who are practically considered veterans of the industry now). And, well, there aren't many others who you could realistically see being suitable to end the streak. Yeah, physically you could give the task to, say, Big E Langston, but imagine the levels of rage that'd invoke! :laugh:

I think Vince would give it to Ryback if Taker would do the job.

Realistically, Sheamus could use it because he's not completely over either.

I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled a swerve and did a no contest finish.

I was thinking that the match never gets started officially.

Cena just said he's looking forward to the Fandango match. Sounds like everyone likes Johnny Curtis (and Jericho, obviously).

Wrestlers to have their first on-air WWE/F match at a WM (after Sunday): Fandango, Big E Langston, and Undertaker.

As much as I would love to see Punk beat Taker and all, I just don't think it's going to happen. Realisitically (for wrestling lol) Taker's streak is a pretty big deal at this point. Now I'm sure Taker himself would have no problem letting someone beat him, after all he's always put over other talent and he's just a great company guy. But Vince probably doesn't want the streak to end. Punk doesn't need the rub like you guys have said, neither does Cena obviously. If anyone should end the streak it should be an up and comer (and not some fad like Ryback, seriously let's be honest about him) who has a bright future and everyone agrees on it. Someone like Cody Rhodes or Wade Barrett for example, could totally use the rub of that kind of victory.

But it would also have to be a clean victory for someone like that. If it was Punk (or hell Cena etc) a dirty win would be acceptable, even expected. But in the end, I just don't think the streak will end. Taker has at most one more WM after this I think, and at this point he should just retire with the streak intact.

Actually, Undertaker had his first on-air WWF match at Survivor Series. I think I heard mention of a woman having her first match at WrestleMania too, but I can't find it at the moment.

Wow, you're right.

As for the women - I'm referring to actual wrestlers, not one-time or very part time like Floyd Mayweather or Akebono.

That's what I was referring to as well, but the tweet I saw was probably including celebrities, which would mean they were thinking of Snooki... :/

Rumors are going around about Cesaro and Kaitlyn being involved in matches, so it makes sense they have workout videos.

- There's a possibility Kaitlyn and AJ will be added to the Tag Team Title match, with the Divas Title also being on the line.

- With Sin Cara now cleared to work in the ring, we might get Cesaro vs. Sin Cara for the US Title.

      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.
