Roman Reigns will hit the 1,000-day mark as world champion at Night of Champions, which will take place in Saudi Arabia on May 27. But he will not defend his undisputed championship on the show, instead teaming with Solo Sikoa to challenge Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn for the undisputed WWE tag-team championship.

After years of arena instability, difficulty courting fans, and even bankruptcy, it sounds as if the Arizona Coyotes will soon be on the move following news that voters had rejected their plans for a new arena in Tempe, Arizona.
The Coyotes are in desperate need of a new barn. 5,000-seat Mullett Arena on the campus of Arizona State is fine, but an NHL-caliber arena, it is not.
That’s why the ‘Yotes hoped to build an arena in Tempe. However, voters weren’t having it and rejected 3 propositions that would have allowed the team to build a $2.3 billion arena.

Cincinnati athletics will henceforth be wearing a new logo. Where the Bearcats have worn Under Armour since 2015, they will rock Nike moving forward.
However, Cincinnati did not partner with Nike. It went through a third-party apparel distributor.
Under Armour and the university reached a 10-year deal in 2015. As part of a larger cost-cutting overhaul for the Baltimore-based apparel company, they mutually agreed on a buyout in 2020.
Under Armour paid a $9.75 million exit fee to Cincinnati and provided $3.65 million worth of product through June 2021. And then the relationship ended entirely.

These six cities make the most sense, but plenty will be interested.
The Arizona Coyotes appear destined to be a relic of the past. Tempe voters resoundingly rejected a public referendum on Tuesday, which would have diverted tax dollars to a new $2.1B arena complex to house the NHL team. It’s almost-assured the team will seek relocation, being the first since 2011, when the Atlanta Thrashers moved and became the Winnipeg Jets.
