We are now two days away from WrestleMania 41, and the match card is taking shape.
Ever since Jey Uso declared on Feb. 10 he would use his Royal Rumble win to challenge Gunther, matches have continuously been announced for WWE’s grand event. By April 11, 13 matches were made official.
However, since WrestleMania is now a two-day event, it was undetermined when those matches would be happening. The Saturday and Sunday main event matches were set, but the other 11 matches didn’t have a date.

On this day in Boston Celtics history, legendary coach and general manager Red Auerbach announced iconic Boston big man Bill Russell would replace him as head coach.
Earlier in the season, Auerbach revealed the 1965-66 NBA season would be his last as head coach, and after losing Game 1 of the 1966 NBA Finals, the Celtics luminary revealed Russell would succeed him. The Louisiana native would become the first Black head coach of any major professional sports team in North America — never mind just basketball — and Boston went on to win the 1966 NBA championship.

Real Madrid woke up to scathing criticism from Spanish press as leading outlets accused the star-studded team of failing to show up against Arsenal.
“Without playing anything, there are no miracles” headlined Marca after the team’s limp 2-1 quarter-final second leg defeat at the Bernabeu. The paper turned on Carlo Ancelotti for his “comeback fiasco” which “ends with another defeat to Arsenal”.

Serena Williams says she would have been banned for 20 years and had some of her Grand Slam titles taken away if she had committed the same anti-doping offence as men’s world number one Jannik Sinner.
Italy’s Sinner, 23, is serving a three-month doping ban after reaching a settlement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) over two positive drugs tests last year.

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side came of age as they dethroned Champions League kings Real Madrid with ease to reach the semi-finals for the first time since 2009.
A commanding 3-0 first-leg victory last week, lit up by two stunning Declan Rice free-kicks, laid the foundations in London.
But a 2-1 win in the cauldron of the Santiago Bernabeu to complete the job on Wednesday was a significant milestone for Arteta’s rising stars.

Ruben Amorim has confirmed that André Onana will start in goal for Manchester United when they host Olympique Lyonnais in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League quarter-final.
Onana has been error-prone for Manchester United this season and was at fault for Lyon’s opener in last week’s 2-2 draw in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League quarter-final.
We are one week away from the 2025 NFL draft. The Washington Commanders look to continue their strong offseason, adding to a roster that surprisingly played in the NFC championship game.
The Commanders enter next week’s draft short on picks. Washington has dealt multiple picks for veteran starters (CB) Marshon Lattimore, (WR) Deebo Samuel and (LT) Laremy Tunsil. Lattimore was acquired at the trade deadline last season and was never fully healthy. The Commanders hope a healthy Lattimore will transform their secondary in 2025.

Declan Rice’s “humble attitude and work-ethic” contribute to him being “such a special player”, says former Arsenal defender Matthew Upson.
After lighting up the first leg against Real Madrid with two glorious free-kicks, Rice provided an all-action display in the second – dominating the midfield and winning player of the match once again.
“He doesn’t miss a game,” Upson told the Football Daily podcast.

Jersey Bulls manager Elliot Powell is confident his side can win the Combined Counties Premier South title.
Bulls know victory over relegation-threatened Sandhurst Town at Springfield on Saturday would almost certainly be enough to become champions.
Bulls are level on points with second-placed Redhill, but their goal difference means their rivals would have to win their final game by 21 goals more than the islanders to take the title.
