Brock Lesnar Just Retired at WrestleMania 42. Here’s What That Means for WWE

The opening match of WWE’s WrestleMania 42 day two saw “The Beast” Brock Lesnar and “The Ruler” Oba Femi battle for dominance. WWE will be fighting an uphill battle to make up for a disappointing WrestleMania Saturday which outraged even the most diehard WWE fans. At the Royal Rumble , Lesnar and Femi stood toe-to-toe and Femi was eliminated by Lesnar so walking into WrestleMania he was ready to prove that this is his era now. The fans have been on his side in the buildup, too, constantly chanting his name. Femi made his way to the ring followed by Lesnar, accompanied by Paul Heyman. If you predicted this match would be anything less than a squash… you’d be mistaken. The entrances were almost longer than the match itself. They fought to knock one another off their feet but Femi got the upper hand. Lesnar threw him into the steps and the ring post changing the momentum momentarily, hitting him with several suplexes. Then, he delivered his F5 finisher. Femi bounced right back up an...

As I’m getting ready to start 4/20 weekend, I need to get into my 420 party garb. Melt Cosmetic’s Smoke Sessions Eyeshadow Palette is meant for all kinds of stoners who love makeup. They nailed it with their 4/20 theme and eyeshadow colors to match the vibe of this special occasion. Each of the eight shades is named after a strain, so I’m pairing one of my favorite eighths that literally match.

A New WWE Women’s World Champion Was Crowned at WrestleMania 42

Image
A new Women’s World Champion was crowned on night one of WrestleMania 42 . Stephanie Vaquer—the reigning champion—has held the title since WWE Wrestlepalooza in September, where she defeated IYO SKY. She’s defended it on a handful of occasions, including against Nikki Bella and Raquel Rodriguez. Tonight, she’s up against another Judgment Day member: Liv Morgan . Morgan won the women’s Royal Rumble in January, securing her a title match against either Vaquer or Women’s Champion Jade Cargill. Their rivalry has become personal over the last few months with Vaquer slapping Dominik Mysterio, and her title defense against Rodriguez.

WATCH: Paige Wins Gold in Her WWE Return at WrestleMania 42

Paige made a surprise return to WWE at WrestleMania 42 . The former Divas Champion filled in for an injured Nikki Bella, teaming with Brie Bella in the Women’s Tag Team Championship four-way. Nikki suffered an ankle injury a few weeks back, and WWE was optimistic she’d make it back in time. However, that was not the case. According to reports, at her scheduled check-up ahead of last night’s WWE SmackDown, Nikki was not cleared to compete. On her podcast, The Nikki and Brie Show (recorded yesterday), she was adamant she’d be in the match. “I’m just getting that extra rest in, so I can be ready for tomorrow. I would never leave Brie’s side, ever. I’m still in it, I’m still there tomorrow, and we’re gonna go win those Tag Titles,” said Nikki. Champions Nia Jax and Lash Legend not only had stiff competition with the WWE Hall of Famers, but Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, as well as Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.

Not All Tough Love Is Healthy. How to Know When It’s Actually Emotional Abuse.

We all know a person who shames, ridicules, and belittles others in the name of “tough love,” when in actuality, their behavior is a form of emotional abuse. While tough love is a great way to hold others accountable while still respecting and supporting them, many people blur the lines between tough love and abuse. That begs the question: Is there a difference between the two? And if so, how can we identify and call out truly harmful behavior? What Is ‘Tough Love’? Growing up with OCD , I was no stranger to “tough love.” If it weren’t for the people in my life refusing to reassure me and, instead, encouraging me to sit with my uncertainty (the bane of OCD’s existence), I likely would have succumbed to it a long time ago. Do I enjoy tough love? Not at all. But I know it’s best for me in the long run. People who truly love you and want you to heal will not enable self-destructive behavior that ultimately harms you. “Tough love often looks like holding boundaries and enforcing natu...

It’s Never Been More Expensive to Be a Pet Parent. Here’s Exactly How Much.

Nobody budgets for a pet the way they budget for rent, and that’s exactly the problem. According to research from Money.com and Healthy Paws Pet Insurance , routine expenses for a dog or cat—food, vet visits, grooming, supplies—now average $4,272 a year. Over a 12-year lifespan , that’s more than $50,000. That’s a down payment. A car. Four years of tuition. Gone on kibble and checkups. And that’s just the baseline. Where the money actually goes For a mid-to-large dog in a high-cost city, a realistic monthly budget looks something like this: High-quality food and treats: $85–$150/month Routine vet care: $40–$60/month Grooming (breed-dependent): $100–$125/month Preventative meds (flea, tick, heartworm): $25–$45/month Pet insurance: $35–$55/month That’s $285–$435 a month before anything goes wrong. And something always goes wrong. Why vet bills keep climbing Bureau of Labor Statistics data from early 2026 shows veterinary services up 5.3 percent year over year, and it’s not...
