San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle announced his presence with authority at Saturday's WrestleMania, making his entrance by stealing a beer from Indiana Pacers star point guard and noted Brock Purdy stan Tyrese Haliburton.Between matches the camera turned its attention to noted Haliburton, who stood up and raised his beer (editor's note: I think it's an 805) to the crowd. It appeared he planned on chugging the beverage on camera. As he went to take a drink, Kittle crashed into the frame, reached over and swiped the beer from Haliburton. Kittle, ever the showman, proceeded to dispense of Haliburton's beer in one chug. It's hard to imagine Haliburton's college allegiance (Iowa State) didn't play at least some role in Kittle's caper. George Kittle chugging Tyrese Haliburtons beer #WrestleManiapic.twitter.com/jP7FxfbEa2 Netflix Sports (@netflixsports) April 18, 2026It isn't totally clear if this is a work (editor's note: my friends who like wrestling tell me this means 'planned'). Both players are big wrestling fans so it's easy to see how they would come up with something like this. On the other hand, Haliburton seems genuinely flustered before offering what appears to be a begrudging applause after Kittle has finished dispatching the beer.Haliburton missed the entire 2025-26 NBA season while recovering from an Achilles tear he suffered in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals last June. Kittle is also working his way back from a torn Achilles, and if his recovery keeps going well, we should see both perpetrator and victim of this hoppy heist back in action for their respective teams in the Fall.

Randy Orton stands tall over Cody Rhodes after Wrestlemania 41 Night 1.WrestleMania 42 returned to Allegiant Stadium for the second straight year, with Night One running at four hours long. The ending saw a bloodied Randy Orton standing tall over an equally bloodied Cody Rhodes, even after losing the Undisputed WWE Championship match.No match prior to Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes exceeded 15 minutes, with the longest being Seth Rollins vs. Gunther. There were wrestlers put through tables, big-time returns, title retentions, and several new champions.It was a strong Night One of WrestleMania, and here are the grades for the event:Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton w/ Pat McAfee for the WWE ChampionshipThe buildup had many fans questioning the decision to insert McAfee a few weeks ago, but WWE quickly wrote him out before the match began. Rhodes had Jelly Roll put McAfee through the announce table, and as he was stretchered out, the bell rang and the match got underway.Seeing Orton hit a Cross Rhodes and Rhodes deliver an RKO was fantastic, especially given the history between the two.It was a strong match between two elite competitors.Late in the match, things started to unravel. Rhodes teased a heel turn, stealing finishers, borrowing moves, and even poking Orton in the eye. The eye poke led to Orton accidentally hitting the referee with an RKO.That moment proved costly. McAfee returned wearing a referee shirt, but as his hand was about to hit the mat for the third count, Rhodes kicked out. Orton, frustrated, dropped McAfee with an RKO, which opened the door for Rhodes to capitalize. Rhodes hit Cross Rhodes and secured the win. The crowd loudly booed the outcome.Pop of the match: McAfee being stretchered out while the crowd chanted you deserve it!only for him to respond with a thumbs up followed by a middle finger.Real pop of the match: Rhodes getting booed while celebrating with the title, only for the crowd to erupt when Orton grabbed it and dropped Rhodes with it.Grade: ABoth wrestlers showcased their best, delivering a main event that outshined WrestleMania 41s clash between Cody Rhodes and John Cena. While Rhodes was met with boos at the end, it didnt take away from what was a strong performance by both competitors.Stephanie Vaquer vs. Liv Morgan for the Womens World ChampionshipVaquer looked really strong in the match, especially with the way she was able to counter some of Morgans offense.The crowd went crazy when she hit the Devils Kiss on Morgan midway through the match. Then Morgan looked like she was about to attempt it herself, which got the fans even more excited, but Vaquer was able to counter.There was a point where it looked like Vaquer was about to finish Morgan off with a moonsault from the top rope, but Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez showed up to run interference.Morgan took advantage of a distracted Vaquer near the ropes and hit her with an ObLIVion. She then pinned Vaquer to become champion once again in WWE.Pop of the match: When Morgan got the three-count and lifted the championship. Morgan is supposed to be a heel, but she has an Edge-like quality where, anytime she wins a title, she gets emotional, and that is exactly what happened after the bell rang.Grade:BThis was the perfect call especially because Morgan is a top star of WWE. Vaquer won't look weak because the only reason Morgan beat her was due to outside interference. The match was good but it picked up once the interference came in from Perez and Rodriguez.Seth Rollins vs. GuntherRight away, these two went after each otherinside the ring, outside the ring, and even near the commentary table. They brawled all over the place for several minutes.When they finally got back into the ring, the referee rang the bell to officially start the match.It was the physical match you would expect from both wrestlers. Gunther powerbombed Rollins and punished him several times. Rollins hit Gunther with two curb stomps, one in the ring and another on the commentators table.After the curb stomp, the crowd suddenly started barking. As Rollins turned around, he was speared by Bron Breakker, who had been out of action for several months.Moments later, Gunther put Rollins to sleep, and that was the end of the match.As Rollins was walking up the ramp, the barking started again as Breakker ran back down and speared him a second time.Pop of the match: Breakker spearing Rollins the second time really got the fans going. Then Paul Heyman walked out and hugged him, which made the reaction even louder.Grade: A-It was a good showing from both Rollins and Gunther with the result not hurting the Iowa native. It shows that Gunther is on a tear especially since retiring John Cena and AJ Styles. Plus, it gives everyone what they want in Seth Rollins against his prodige Bronn Breakker.Becky Lynch vs. AJ Lee for the Intercontinental ChampionshipBoth superstars looked strong throughout the match, with AJ hitting Lynch with several of her signature moves.The big moment came when Becky got frustrated with referee Jessika Carr and got in her face, leading to shoving between the two. Lynch ran at Carr looking to hit her with an elbow, but Carr moved out of the way and Lynch ran right into AJs arms. AJ hit Lynch with her own move, the Man Handle Slam, and went for the pin, but Lynch kicked out.Lynch then moved toward the turnbuckle and uncovered it while Carr was checking on AJ. Moments later, AJ charged at Lynch, but Lynch grabbed Carr and AJ ended up sandwiching Carr against the turnbuckle. With Carr distracted, Lynch threw AJ headfirst into the exposed turnbuckle, then hit her with the Man Handle Slam and pinned her for the victory.Pop of the match: Lynch pinning Lee to win back her Intercontinental Championship, though a close second was Carr shoving Lynch.Grade: C+This was a good overall match, and it was smart to have Lynch win a little dirty. It is always effective when a heel wins that way, and Lynch is one of the best in the business. It will be interesting to see who she faces next.Bellas Twins (Paige) vs. Irresistible Force vs. Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair vs. Bayley & Lyra Valkyria for the Womens Tag Team ChampionshipIt was supposed to be a standard Fatal 4-Way for the Womens Tag Team Championships, but then the biggest pop of the night so far happened.Nikki Bella walked out last with her sister and announced that she could not compete on Saturday night, but said she had called an old friend to help out. Allegiant Stadium went crazy when Paiges music hit.The match itself was fast-paced, with all of the competitors looking strong and getting the chance to show off their skill sets.Five minutes in, the crowd got restless and started chanting, We want Paige. When she finally got tagged in, they went wild. A couple of minutes later, Paige stood across the ring from Charlotte Flair, which got the crowd even more excited.Flair set Paige up to be hit with Twisted Bliss by Alexa Bliss, but Nikki Bella got involved and took Flair out of the ring. Bliss went for it anyway, but Paige got her knees up to block it, then hit her with the Ram Paige and pinned her to secure the win and the tag team titles on the night of her return. Paige was emotional after the victory.Pop of the match:Paige returning after being gone since 2022. The crowd went crazy for her no matter what she did in the match.Grade: BPaige returning to WWE automatically makes this grade higher, especially with the warm welcome she received from the fans. Putting the tag titles on her and Brie Bella was the right call with her returning. Now the big question is how long this title reign will last.Jacob Fatu vs. Drew McIntyre (Unsanctioned Match)The buildup to this match was violent, which is why making it unsanctioned was the right call.McIntyre was walking to the ring when Fatu launched himself through the ropes to start the match early.Both wrestlers threw everything they had at each otherliterally. They used tools, chairs, and anything else they could get their hands on.The biggest spot came when Fatu was on the turnbuckle ready to attack McIntyre, but McIntyre ran over, shoved him off, and Fatu crashed through a table.Later, Fatu placed McIntyre on a table, ran to the turnbuckle, and hit him with his signature moonsault before pinning the Scottish star for the win.Pop of the match: Fatu pinning McIntyre after the moonsault. The crowd loves Fatu.Grade: A-This had the right amount of violence and big-time moves, which is exactly what WWE fans want at WrestleMania. It was a huge win for Fatu. He is a rising star in WWE, and beating someone like McIntyre is a major step for him.The Usos & LA Knight vs. The Vision & iShowSpeedIt was a short match that began with The Usos hitting The Vision with superkicks, leaving Speed and LA Knight to face off.There were moments for both teams, including Jey Uso hitting Austin Theory with a spear and Jimmy Uso getting his shots in on Speed.Toward the end, Logan Paul was standing at ringside when LA Knight grabbed Speed for a BFT, but Speed shoved Knight into Paul and knocked him off the apron. Theory then got in Speeds face before putting LA Knight in a headlock, trying to force Speed to hit Knight. Instead, when Theory hit the ropes, LA Knight tossed him into Speed, then hit Theory with his signature BFT and pinned him for the victory.After the match, Paul turned on Speed by punching him in the face. He then set him up for a splash from the turnbuckle onto the announcers table, but The Usos and LA Knight came to the YouTubers aid by attacking Paul. They then helped Speed get his revenge when he hit a splash off the turnbuckle onto Paul through the announcers table.Pop of the match:Speed launching himself off the turnbuckle onto the announcers table on Logan Paul. He hit Cristiano Ronaldos signature SIU celebration beforehand, which got the crowd hyped.Grade: B-The match felt a little rushed. The Speed experiment worked because he is athletic and looked similar to Paul when he first joined WWE. Speaking of Paul, his ability to make fans cheer against him is hilarious because as soon as he turned on Speed, the crowd erupted.

"It sounds like Illinois is likely now out of the race for Blackwell, with Andrej Stojakovic announcing his return to the program. Currently, sources believe Duke and UCLA have the best chances of landing him."April 17:Cincinnati transfer Moustapha Thiam receiving interest from Duke, according to Jon Rothstein.April 17: Duke transferNik Khamenia projected to UConn, by Field of 68's Jeff Goodman.April 17: Duke in a two-team race for Santa Clara's Allen Graves? On3's Joe Tipton with the latest."Allen Graves flew under the radar for many college basketball fans while playing at Santa Clara, but turned himself into a potential first-round Draft pick. Sources believe the NBA is his top priority, but if he comes back to college, I would keep a close eye on LSU, as Will Wade is swinging for the fences for the Ponchatoula, Louisiana native. Another school to watch closely is Duke."April 17: Duke has a "slight edge" for John Blackwell, but will there be a legacy tie for Illinois? On3's Joe Tipton with the latest."Most people Ive spoken with believe this recruitment will come down to Duke and Illinois, with the majority of sources giving a slight edge to the Blue Devils.

That's not going to work in Duke's spread-it-around scheme. If perimeter assassin Isaiah Evans stays in the NBA Draft, Blackwell's scoring punch will be needed to a greater extent."That said, Wisconsin needed Blackwell's best night in and night out offensively. With the Blue Devils, he wouldn't necessarily have to be the go-to, No. 1 option and that could make him a more well-rounded player."April 14:Isaiah Evans possibly transferring from Duke are completely false. according to Chris Lea.
