I am a credentialed member of the wrestling media tonight for SummerSlam. Can report there are A LOT of solid blue Cena shirts in the crowd. Main event dynamics should be fun (and ripe for a Cody tur … no, that’s ridiculous of course).

The four biggest lessons of the 2025 NHL free agency first wave Why did so many players simply re-sign instead of exploring the market? Here are 2025's hottest hockey trends.

Regarding the playoff salary cap thing:

- NHLPA told me it was β€œa priority" for NHL in labor talks
- As an agent explained it: β€œYou can have [like] $130 million in salaries on your total playoff roster, but the 18 players and 2 goalies that are on the ice must be cap compliant.”
