It was an emotional scene at the WWE Performance Center during the April 29 episode of Raw when Lyra Valkyria was drafted from Nxt. This came just a few weeks ago when the Irish warrior lost the women’s championship to Roxanne Perez. The 27-year-old has known the rollercoaster ride pro wrestling can take you for the last decade. She has endured the Covid era and the uncertainty that came along with the Nxt UK brand. Valkyria not only survived but thrived in coming to the United States. The emerging talent had a career-defining moment defeating fellow Lasskicker Becky Lynch to win Nxt gold. Now she finds herself on the same brand as the current WWE women’s champion. Just last month we caught up with Valkyria on what Lynch has meant to her. WWE What was it like being part of WrestleMania 40 weekend with Nxt’s Stand & Deliver? Lyra Valkyria:...

Alpha: Golshifteh Farahani, Tahar Rahim to star in Raw, Titane director Julia Ducournau’s third film
Golshifteh Farahani of the Extraction films and Tahar Rahim of Madame Web have signed on to star in Alpha, the third film from Raw and Titane director Julia Ducournau, Variety reports. FilmNation and Charades will be presenting the project to potential buyers at the Cannes Film Festival – which is a good place for a Ducournau project to get rolling, since her film Titane won the Palme d’Or, the festival’s top award, a few years ago.
FilmNation Entertainment and Charades provided the following statement: “Alpha is Julia’s most personal, profound work yet, and we are looking forward to a global audience discovering the story with as much excitement as we did. We can’t wait to bring the film to market in Cannes and to launch sales together for the first time and collaborate in this way.“

French filmmaker Julia Ducournau has established herself as a true genre visionary with her first two movies, first the cannibal film Raw (2016) and then the wild Titane in 2021.
Up next from Ducournau is a mysterious movie titled Alpha, and though we don’t have any plot details at this time, we’re at least *hoping* it’s something of a genre picture.
“FilmNation and Charades are presenting the project in Cannes,” Variety reports.
Golshifteh Farahani (The Patience Stone) and Tahar Rahim (“The Serpent”) will star.

Victoria Justice, best known for her starring role on Nickelodeon’s “Victorious,” recently said on SiriusXM’s “Hits 1 LA with Tony Fly and Symon” while promoting her new single “Raw” that her upcoming role in the movie “Depravity” required her to film her first sex scene. The experience was “uncomfortable” but the crew pulled it off with “taste.”
“My first day on set I had my first ever sex scene. I’m like, ‘Really, guys? We’re gonna schedule this for the first day? Cool. Thanks for that,'” Justice said. “It is uncomfortable. I was actually very nervous about it and totally anxious about the entire situation, and I was like, ‘Did I make the wrong choice? I don’t know if I should do this.'”

Over the past couple of decades, the Rolling Stones have looked for any reason to hit the road besides the release of a new album of original songs. They’ve launched tours celebrating their 50th anniversary, reissues of select archival records, the 2016 covers LP Blue & Lonesome, and their 60th anniversary. Some years they headed out on the stadium circuit for no particular reason whatsoever, knowing a Stones tour is a major event in and of itself.
But after a nearly two-year break from touring, the Stones emerged last year with the shockingly great Hackney Diamonds.

While the wrestling world has seen a lot of magnificent wins and heartbreaking losses, it has also seen some of its best wrestlers of all time getting brutally injured during the fights. And yes, even though it is scripted beforehand, the fighters do, indeed, get hurt during the process nonetheless. Like the renowned professional wrestler and former WWE Champion, Ettore “Big E” Ewen.

Peacock’s deal with WWE for events like Wrestlemania expires in 2026, and Netflix or another streamer could snatch them up.
The hype of The Rock’s return and Cody Rhodes finishing the story delivered for WWE over the weekend. The annual Wrestlemania extravaganza is always a big audience draw — both in person and on TV — and this year’s Wrestlemania Xl demonstrated the event’s popularity once again by drawing the biggest ratings of any live entertainment program in the history of Peacock. The numbers are impressive, but they do bring the question of what will happen to live WWE events after 2026 to mind, as the wrestling promotion’s deal with Peacock expires.
Wrestlemania saw 1.3 billion total minutes streamed across both nights on Peacock. WWE’s YouTube channel drew a record-setting 67 million+ views on Sunday, April 7. Netflix recently acquired rights to WWE’s “Raw,” and could make a play for events like Wrestlemania next.
