The collaboration saw multiple TNA stars appear on NXT and vice versa. Several top names, including The Hardy Boyz, Ethan Page, and many more, appeared on each other’s brands, including Joe Hendry’s Royal Rumble debut.\n\nHowever, according to a recent report by Fightful Select, Hendry’s absence from recent WWE programming was addressed. As per the report, despite a pitch for Hendry to appear on Raw, it was nixed. The report notes that former long-time employee Ariel Shnerner did not agree with the creative, which would have seen Hendry suffer a loss.\n\nOne idea proposed that it could have seen a future rivalry against The Miz. However, none of that happened. Fightful Select further claimed that it was another contributing factor to WWE’s souring relationship with Ariel Shnerner. Previously, WWE NXT performers had requested Ariel Shnerner’s absence from their locker room.

With his distinctive look modelled on Elvis Presley and questionable tactics in the ring, fans loved to boo the man who went on to hold the Intercontinental Championship for longer than anyone – at least until Gunther came along and destroyed his 454-day record with his own 666-day reign from 2022-2024.\n\nHonky Tonk Man was inducted into the Hall of Fame back in 2019, and has held Legends Contracts with the company going even further back. Now, the star has announced that he has signed his third consecutive Legends deal, something he says will ensure the character and intellectual property “live on forever.”\n\n“This Legends Deal is a reflection of my time and impact in WWE during the era it was becoming a global phenomenon. The relationship with WWE has been mutually beneficial and I am honored by their continued commitment to ensure the Honky Tonk Man character and intellectual property will live on forever.”\n\nThe statement from the star’s management team can be read below:\n\n“Honky Tonk Man has officially re-signed a multi-year Legends Deal with WWE, marking his third consecutive contract and continuing a remarkable 15-year nostalgia partnership with the company.\n\n“The Honky Tonk Man electrified the ring with unforgettable performances, shaking, rattling, and rolling his way to an astonishing 454-day reign as Intercontinental Champion—one of the longest in WWE history. With Jimmy Hart in his corner and his iconic guitar always within reach, this devious Superstar shattered the rules to ensure his triumphs. His reign was a spectacle of cunning and charisma, leaving an indelible mark on wrestling history.\n\n“For all his accomplishments and impact on professional wrestling and sports entertainment, the Honky Tonk Man was enshrined into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019. Many argue that he was one of the first true sports entertainers, blending athleticism with showmanship in a way that set the standard for future generations.”', 0, 'visible', 0, 0, 0x5b5d, 0, 0x5b5d, 0x5b5d, 0, 0, 0, '', 0, 0, 0, 0x5b5d),

The Hall of Fame player was hired from Tampa Bay in 2019 and the patience he asked for is running thin.\n\nA year after losing a tiebreaker for the last spot in the Eastern Conference, the Red Wings took a step back this season and were eliminated from postseason contention Saturday.\n\nThe Blackhawks are the last-place team in the Central Division for the third straight season and will finish ahead of only San Jose in the NHL. Earlier this century, Chicago was a league power with three Cups from 2010 to 2015 to give the franchise four.\n\nThough the Red Wings and Blackhawks were predicted to have another lackluster season, the Rangers and Bruins were expected to be playoff teams.\n\nA season after winning the Presidents\' Trophy with an NHL-high 114 points and reaching the Eastern Conference final, the Rangers were hoping to hoist the Cup for the first time in more than three decades and fifth time in franchise history.

Sources told TMZ that Popovich was alert when he entered the ambulance.\n\nOn Nov. 2, Popovich suffered what the team called a \"mild stroke\" ahead of a matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Hall of Famer, who has coached the Spurs since the 1996-97 season, is the NBA\'s winningest coach with 1,412 regular-season victories and another 170 in the postseason to go with five championships.\n\nHe agreed to a five-year contract extension with the team in 2023.\n\nAssistant coach Mitch Johnson took over on an interim basis to lead San Antonio to a record of 31-45 under his watch.\n\nFranchise cornerstone Victor Wembanyama was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis, or a blood clot, in his right shoulder shortly after the NBA All-Star break and was ruled out for the remainder of the regular season. Newly added guard De\'Aaron Fox, who joined the Spurs in February through a trade, missed the final 18 games due to a left pinkie injury that required surgery.\n\nBefore Popovich\'s latest health incident, the Spurs had already faced an uncertain future as to whether the coach would return for the 2025-26 season. Johnson said the Spurs have put together an offseason plan that will be executed collectively, starting later this spring, by the staff in Popovich\'s absence.\n\n\"I think I haven\'t had time to deal with it yet,\" Johnson said after the season finale Sunday. \"I understand it\'s a fair question, and I think I will, hopefully like everybody that\'s gone through this, take some time away, catch my breath and spend some time with family.\n\n\"This organization is still prioritizing Pop\'s health. In time, he will do what he needs to do and make decisions. That will go through this organization on very many levels. We really put together that plan as a group. Obviously, my role has changed in nine years. What I\'m doing this spring won\'t be what I did eight years ago, but the player development has been at the forefront since I\'ve been here.\"\n\nThe organization has steadfastly maintained internally that it would let Popovich decide whether he wants to return for a 30th season in San Antonio. Sources who have been in contact with Popovich since his stroke have said the coach has expressed to them an intention to return to the bench next season.', 0, 'visible', 0, 0, 0x5b5d, 0, 0x5b5d, 0x5b5d, 0, 0, 0, '', 0, 0, 0, 0x5b5d),

So many memories and amazing moments. It wasn\'t always easy, but it was always worth it! The next journey starts now.\"\n\nAt BYU, Fredette led the country with 28.9 points per game in 2010-11 and won consensus national player of the year honors while leading the Cougars to their first Sweet 16 appearance in 30 years.\n\nFredette, 36, was the No. 10 pick by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2011 draft before being traded to the Sacramento Kings. He spent parts of six seasons in the NBA with Sacramento, Chicago, New Orleans, New York and Phoenix.\n\nHe also played professionally in China and Greece, winning the MVP award in the Chinese Basketball Association in 2017. Fredette had games of 70 and 75 points in China, including one where he scored 60 points after halftime.\n\nThe best years of his playing career may have been his final ones, when he turned his attention to 3x3. Fredette was a star in that fast-paced, half-court game for the U.S., helping the Americans win gold medals at the 2022 FIBA 3x3 AmeriCup and 2023 Pan American Games along with a silver at the 2023 FIBA World Cup. He was USA Basketball\'s 3x3 male athlete of the year in 2023.\n\nHe entered the Paris Olympics as the top-ranked 3x3 men\'s player in the world, with the Americans ranked No. 2 worldwide. But Fredette suffered an adductor muscle injury early in the tournament, and the U.S. by rule could not replace him on its four-man roster for the Paris Games, so the Americans had to play the rest of the Olympics with three players and no substitutes.\n\n\"I owe a lot of who I am today to this game and it\'s not easy to say goodbye as a player,\" Fredette wrote. \"But the time has come.\"', 0, 'visible', 0, 0, 0x5b5d, 0, 0x5b5d, 0x5b5d, 0, 0, 0, '', 0, 0, 0, 0x5b5d),

Managing partner John Collins will lead a search to find the Islanders\' next GM.\n\n\"The Islanders extend a heartfelt thank you to Lou Lamoriello for his extraordinary commitment over the past seven years,\" the team said in a statement. \"His dedication to the team is in line with his Hall of Fame career.\"\n\nLamoriello, 82, spent the past seven years running the Islanders\' hockey operations with a close connection to ownership. They missed the playoffs this season but qualified five times under Lamoriello\'s watch, including a trip to the Eastern Conference final in the 2020 \"bubble\" during the coronavirus pandemic.\n\nFor the bulk of his time in the league, Lamoriello worked as president and GM of the New Jersey Devils from 1987-2015, a stretch during which they won the Stanley Cup three times. He served as GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs from 2015 until he joined the Islanders in 2018.\n\nA Hall of Famer in the builders category, Lamoriello\'s old-school approach with everything from not sharing information to banning facial hair for players and coaches made him a rarity in modern hockey and arguably played a part in stagnating the once widely successful franchise. It is now more than four decades removed from the dynasty days when the Islanders won the Cup four years in a row from 1980-83.\n\nIf he indeed steps away from hockey, he will largely be remembered for his work with the Devils, a franchise that saw little success before his arrival. The club would soon advance to four Stanley Cup Finals across a nine-year span, polishing Hall of Fame careers along the way for goaltender Martin Brodeur and defensemen Scott Stevens and Scott Niedermayer. With no affiliation to the Islanders next season, the Devils would have an appropriate opportunity to add Lamoriello to the team\'s ring of honor.\n\nMoving on from Lamoriello puts the entire organization in flux, including the future of the rest of the front office and coaching staff. Lamoriello hired Patrick Roy as coach in January 2024 to replace Lane Lambert.\n\nSon Chris Lamoriello has worked for the Islanders since 2016, originally as director of player personnel, and he was promoted to assistant GM to work for his father in 2018.', 0, 'visible', 0, 0, 0x5b5d, 0, 0x5b5d, 0x5b5d, 0, 0, 0, '', 0, 0, 0, 0x5b5d),

Our new enhanced structure will allow Ron to continue shaping our long-term vision while empowering Jason day to day.\"\n\nFrancis had been in charge since not long after Seattle\'s ownership group was granted an NHL expansion franchise. He and Botterill are now tasked with finding a coach and repairing a roster that is lacking in elite talent.\n\n\"I am proud of what we have started here in Seattle and look forward to continuing in my new role as president,\" Francis said. \"I have worked closely with Jason for many years at both the NHL and international levels. He helped build three Stanley Cup-winning rosters in Pittsburgh and has been a key member of our management team since day one. He has demonstrated the ability to construct winning teams, and his experience, leadership, and vision will be invaluable as we continue towards a championship-caliber organization in Seattle.\"\n\nThis is Botterill\'s second GM job in the league after he ran the Buffalo Sabres from 2017 to 2020.\n\n\"We are focused on taking the next step as a franchise, and for us, next season starts now,\" Botterill said. \"From roster decisions to player development, we will do everything we can to build a team that can compete for the playoffs every year and ultimately bring a Stanley Cup to Seattle.\"\n\nThat did not happen under Bylsma.
