The first WWE PPV show of 2021 features three big championship matches, as well as the men’s and women’s Rumbles which will determine championship contenders for WrestleMania.

Asuka & Charlotte Flair (c) vs Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler...

Earlier this week Mustafa Ali confirmed that WWE scrapped their original idea for a match between himself and The New Day’s Kofi Kingston. @WrestleVotes popped up on Tuesday to reveal another original plan that fell through, this time centering around the Women’s Division. Fans have already pointed out that while the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal has been confirmed for the SmackDown leading into WrestleMania, the WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal won’t be back this year....

In an Activision conference call held earlier today, the publisher revealed that it is planning to release new remastered content in 2021. This should come as little surprise, as the company has found quite a bit of success with remasters, including Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered, both of which released last year. The news was shared by Daniel Ahmad, a senior analyst at Niko Partners....

Did Ubisoft just leak that it’s working on a remake of the original and first Assassin’s Creed game? While the Ezio trilogy – Assassin’s Creed 2, Assassins Creed Brotherhood, and Assassin’s Creed Revelations – have received re-releases, the first game in the series has largely been left untouched by Ubisoft. That said, this year the series is celebrating its 15-year anniversary, which means the first game is also celebrating its 15-year anniversary....

Better Call Saul’s final season will see Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul reprising their respective roles as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. Better Call Saul co-creator Peter Gould confirmed at PaleyFest LA that the two would guest star in Better Call Saul’s final episodes. Gould remained coy about how Walter and Jesse, both seen last in the Breaking Bad movie El Camino, factor into Better Call Saul’s story. “I don’t want to spoil things for the audience, but I will say the first question we had when we started the show was, ‘Are we gonna see Walt and Jesse on the show?...

Call of Duty: Vanguard is set to release later this year, and Activision is starting to pull back the curtain on its next series entry. The publisher has now revealed when fans can expect to learn multiplayer details, and when the game’s beta will begin. On September 7th, a worldwide multiplayer reveal will take place. Just a few short days later, PlayStation owners will get to check out the first weekend of the beta, which runs from September 10th through the 13th....

A Cyberpunk 2077 player has discovered an incredible detail about the PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Google Stadia game a year after its initial release. A part of Cyberpunk 2077’s legacy will always be, at the very least, clouded with the controversy that surrounded it at launch. It was a buggy mess, in particular, on last-gen consoles. However, there are plenty of not only redeeming qualities about the game, but there are several elements of the game that are of the highest quality....

Disney is bringing back some of the most iconic Princess voice actresses for a D23 concert.

September 11th at 4:15pm will be the date and time for the big concert event....

Dwayne Johnson narrated a special WWE tribute to his father this weekend. The Rock spoke about Rocky Johnson’s road to the Hall of Fame. Some fans might not know that his dad was a part of the first African-American tag team champions with Tony Atlas. It’s clear that both Johnson’s father and grandfather were big inspirations for him. That discipline and training were monumental for a younger performer. In his words on Twitter, it becomes clear that The Rock still carries a lot of those small moments with him on a daily basis....

Edge is readying himself for his WWE Universal Championship match against Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 37! WWE fans had been wondering what the grand plan for Edge was when he first announced he was going to be entering the Men’s Royal Rumble match earlier this year. The surprise result of his return to WWE television was that he actually emerged as the winner of the big match. Edge had been making the rounds through Monday Night Raw, Friday Night SmackDown, and NXT as he teased that he wouldn’t make a decision as to who he would challenge until the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view....

After first launching back in 2019, developer Niantic has today revealed that it is shutting down its augmented reality title Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. The game isn’t slated to officially end operations until early 2022, but Niantic will begin removing it from various app stores in a little over a month. When it comes to the reason why Niantic is officially shutting Wizards Unite down, though, the developer didn’t have much to say on the matter....

The Witcher star Henry Cavill has made the trip of a lifetime – to visit the home of his beloved Warhammer 40,000. Earlier today, the Warhammer Community social media team shared a photo of Cavill visiting the Games Workshop headquarters. Cavill looks pleased as punch to be standing in one of the filming studios for Games Workshop, which seemingly hints that Cavill will appear in some sort of promotional video or an upcoming episode of one of Games Workshop’s hobby shows that air weekly on the Warhammer+ streaming service....

Nearly six years since Michael Dougherty’s holiday horror film Krampus was released, an all-new an unseen cut of the movie is about to be released. Scream Factory announced today that they’ll debut an all-new 4K release of the movie this year with Krampus: The Naughty Cut, available November 16th on in a 4K and blu-ray collector’s edition. In their official release on the film Scream Factory says this “previously unseen” version of the movie “restores key dialogue and scenes that had to be trimmed from the original theatrical release to appease the MPAA....

Matt Cardona was the talk of the wrestling world on Saturday night when he defeated Nick Gage in a blood-soaked deathmatch to win the GCW World Championship at the GCW Homecoming event. Cardona has fully embraced the anti-WWE sentiment while portraying a heel in Game Changer Wrestling, and his victory over the beloved Gage had fans so riled up that they started pelting Cardona with garbage as he celebrated the victory (this managed to draw comparisons to Hulk Hogan’s notorious heel turn at Bash at the Beach 1996)....

The world of DC Comics films is continuing to expand out in some interesting ways, with an array of characters being brought to life in both live-action and animation. One of the most surprising DC concepts to join that list might be the Metal Men, a group of sentient robots with zany personalities and superpowers who were confirmed to be getting an animated movie late last year. The announcement arrived after a Metal Men project was in the works for the better part of a decade, with Men in Black director Barry Sonnenfeld initially involved....

NBA 2K21 got a pair of updates this week, one of which is for the newer consoles including the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X and Series S while the other is for the past generation of consoles. The patch notes for the two updates are much different from one another depending on which version you’re downloading. Both updates had some notes in common, however, such as improvements on different players’ likenesses as well as various stability fixes and resolved bugs....

One hockey documentary produced for the Olympics haws resurfaced and gone viral with anime fans for its surprising Neon Genesis Evangelion inspired opening! Released back in 2018, The Nagano Tapes: Rewound, Replayed & Reviewed was written and directed by Ondřej Hudeček (with Jon Weinbach also sharing a writing credit). Apparently it’s been hiding a huge shout out to the world of anime for the past three years right under everyone’s nose....

The latest episode of Saturday Night Live aired last night and saw Kieran Culkin hosting. These days, Cuklin is best known for playing Roman Roy on Succession, but he’s been around Hollywood for quite some time. Everyone remembers his brother Macaulay Culkin’s role as Kevin McCallister in Home Alone, but the younger Culkin also appeared in the movie as his Pepsi-loving little cousin, Fuller. Back in 1991, Macaulay Culkin became the second-youngest SNL host (after Drew Barrymore) when he took the stage at age 11....

WrestleMania 37 will see the return of live fans to WWE events, and the company is pulling out all the stops to put on the biggest shows possible by adding in live musical perfomances. The company announced on Monday that Grammy-nominated signer Bebe Rexha will open the first night of WrestleMania with a performance of “America The Beautiful.” I know what it takes to create a spectacle with @WWE. I’m excited to have our very own @hurricanenita open #NXTTakeOver Stand & Deliver Night 1 with our National Anthem....

Not long after Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone players were introduced to the games’ second season through a sizable update, the former has gotten yet another patch this weekend. Being a follow-up to the Season Two update, this one mostly fixes things like performance issues and other problems that became apparent since the season started. The Multiplayer, League Play, and Zombies modes were affected by the update alongside the start of a Double XP and Double Weapon XP weekend for both Black Ops Cold War and Warzone players....
