However, after a segment between Reigns, Paul Heyman, and Adam Pearce, the idea was changed to a Chamber match determining a number one contender who would then immediately face Reigns at the PPV in a championship match, on the same night....

Disney+ just got five Marvel One-Shots added to the service. Much has been made of the entries from 2011 to 2014 that help form some of the connective tissue between larger MCU releases.

Xbox, or more specifically, the Microsoft Store, has leaked a new game before its surprise release, or what is presumably going to be a surprise release given that it’s happening this Thursday, May 27.

Amidst Dying Light 2 teases, it looks like Techland is releasing Dying Light: Platinum Edition, which as the name suggests, is the ultimate edition of the 2015 game that has been added to and evolved in the six years since....
