After a brutal Hell in a Cell main event on Night 1 of SummerSlam, Bronson Reed has seemingly taken a swing at Oba Femi and WWE for the booking of Femi’s trilogy match against Brock Lesnar.

Last night’s main event marked Femi’s second victory over The Beast Incarnate, surviving a punishing Hell in a Cell encounter to further establish himself as one of the sport’s fastest-rising stars.

The victory sealed the dominant rivalry between the two, with Lesnar even publicly showing Femi a rare sign of respect after the match in what many viewed as a passing-of-the-torch moment.

Shortly after the Nigerian Superstar had his hand raised, Reed took to X with a post that seemed like he was taking a shot at Femi’s push and WWE’s creative direction.

Why Bronson Reed Tweeted What He Did

The statement comes after WWE Unreal revealed that Bron Breakker was initially supposed to win the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble match. However, WWE’s creative team decided to change the outcome amid concerns that fans would perceive Breakker as being pushed too aggressively.

Reed’s post quickly sparked conversations amongst fans. While Breakker’s planned Royal Rumble win was scrapped over concerns about audience perceptions, Femi has continued to receive a sustained main-event push, defeating established names and now earning a second victory over Lesnar in one of WWE’s biggest rivalries of the year.

The timing of the post, immediately after Femi’s victory, appears to raise the question of why WWE was reluctant to give Breakker a similar skyrocket push by having him win the Royal Rumble, but yet they are so committed to Femi’s rapid rise to the top of the card.

Whether Reed’s post was intended as genuine criticism or was intended purely to spark debate amongst the online community is anybody’s guess. Regardless, the comments have added another layer to the discussion surrounding Femi’s push to the top, with the SummerSlam main event intensifying the debate over how WWE chooses its future breakout stars.

Arsenal are closing in on a deal to sign a new forward alongside Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes in the summer transfer window.

A move to sign Guimaraes from the Magpies appears to be close, with Fabrizio Romano confirming that he is expected to join the Gunners in the summer transfer window.

It’s a huge addition for Arsenal as they look to bolster their midfield options, but there’s no doubt they’ll also be looking to add players in other positions.

Signing a new forward does appear to be one of their priorities, especially after they were pushing to sign Morgan Rogers before his move to Chelsea.

It’s been a reasonably slow start to the window for Arsenal, bringing in Christos Tzolis and Illan Meslias so far.

According to a report from journalist Alan Nixon, Arsenal are closing in on the deal to sign Blackburn Rovers forward Igor Tyjon in the summer transfer window.

The report claims that the Gunners are hoping to agree a fee in the region of £2 million plus add-ons after Tyjon turned down multiple deals with the Championship side.

The young forward has now entered the final year of his contract, and Blackburn are now preparing for his exit.

Blackburn are happy to offload Tyjon due to his contract situation, and Arsenal are planning to get a deal over the line quickly.

It’s unlikely that Tyjon will come into the Arsenal senior squad immediately, considering he is just 18 years old.

Arsenal also eyeing new winger

Arsenal are also working on a deal to sign a new winger in the summer transfer window.

Reports have claimed that the Gunners are working behind the scenes to sign Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr, who is currently in a contract standoff with the Spanish club.

The Brazilian international appears to be open to joining Arsenal this summer, and they are believed to be going all in to try to secure his signature.

​​​​​​​The North London club are even open to making an exception to their salary structure in order to be able to convince Vinicius to make the move to the club.

When Gianni Infantino replaced Sepp Blatter in 2016, it marked a fresh start for FIFA.

The reputation of world football’s governing body was left severely damaged in 2015 following a corruption scandal that eventually led to Blatter resigning following 17 years as FIFA president.

Infantino has spent 10 years in the role but is now in danger of also leaving with his tail between his legs following his scuppered plan to sell stakes in the FIFA World Cup to private investors.

While FIFA and Infantino insist “nobody is selling football”, adding “this is not something FIFA could ever entertain”, the proposal has been lambasted by many groups and individuals involved in the game.

UEFA’s 55 member nations say they will boycott any FIFA tournament – including future World Cups – unless the plans are scrapped.

Gary Lineker’s 2016 tweet about Infantino recently resurfaced. The England legend tweeted at the time: “Have this weird feeling that Gianni Infantino will pull off his mask to reveal Sepp Blatter.”

Ronaldo’s 2013 Twitter Exchange With FIFA’s Sepp Blatter

Three years earlier, in 2013, Cristiano Ronaldo was involved in a bizarre Twitter exchange with Blatter.

While speaking at the Oxford Union, Blatter revealed that he “preferred Messi” over Ronaldo, who he compared to a “commander on the field of play” before walking across the stage in comedic fashion.

“They are both exceptional players but they are totally different and football is about the difference of styles, because Lionel Messi is a good boy who every mother and father would like to have at home,” Blatter told the audience.

“He’s a good man, he’s very fast, he’s not exuberant, he’s playing well, he’s dancing, he’s a kind man, he’s a good boy.

“And that’s what makes him so popular and naturally he will always get a lot of goals because he is this nice man, and he plays well and scores goals.”

Blatter added that Ronaldo had “more expenses for the hairdresser” than Messi. Watch the clip below:

Ronaldo saw this unflattering clip and tweeted: “This video shows the respect and consideration that FIFA has for me, my club and my country. Much is explained now.”

In a separate tweet, the Portuguese forward added: “I wish Mr Blatter health and a long life, with the certainty that he will continue to witness, as he deserves, the successes of his favourite teams and players.”

Blatter responded on Twitter: “Dear Cristiano. I apologise if you were upset by my lighthearted answer at private event on Friday. I never meant to offend you.”

He also wrote to Real Madrid in an attempt to diffuse the situation, but it’s clear that Blatter’s comments left a lasting impression on Ronaldo.

At the recent World Cup in North America, Ronaldo caused a stir when his official Instagram account was caught ‘liking’ a post of a journalist accusing FIFA of showing favouritism towards Argentina and Messi.

Argentina reached the World Cup final but suffered a 1-0 defeat after being outclassed by Luis de la Fuente’s Spain at the New York New Jersey Stadium.
