0 of 7 Credit: WWE.com We're three weeks away from WrestleMania 37 on April 10-11 but before we get to the biggest show of the year, we had Sunday's WWE Fastlane pay-per-view. Roman Reigns defended the Universal Championship against Daniel Bryan in the main event, with Edge serving as a special guest enforcer in an attempt to limit any outside interference. Both midcard belts were up for grabs when Big E put the Intercontinental Championship on the line against Apollo Crews, and Riddle defended the United States title against Mustafa Ali. Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks challenged Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler for the Women's Tag Team Championships, Alexa Bliss faced Randy Orton, Seth Rollins battled Shinsuke Nakamura, and Sheamus went to war with Drew McIntyre in a No Holds Barred match...

RETRIBUTION is apparently no more. After weeks of tension within the group due to Mustafa Ali blaming losses on everyone else in the group, the members turned on their leader during tonight’s WWE Fastlane Kickoff pre-show. The Kickoff match saw Riddle retain his WWE United States Title over Ali. After the match, Ali began ranting at Reckoning, T-BAR, Slapjack and Mace. He directed his anger at Reckoning and asked her when she was going to carry her own weight. Ali then ordered her to get back in line but she turned and stared him down, then walked out of the ring. Slapjack followed her as Ali continued ranting and issuing warnings. Ali then turned to T-BAR and Mace to blame them for everything that has happened to the group. They then delivered the High Justice double team chokes...

The creator of "The Simpsons" appears to be suggesting that the blowback over having a white actor voice Apu for all these years really isn't all that big a deal ... in his eyes. Animator Matt Groening did an interview with USA Today in honor of the upcoming 700th episode, and he was asked about the controversy -- namely, not having an Indian actor voice the Indian character ... not to mention claims Apu was portrayed as a walking stereotype. Groening had some interesting answers ... for starters, he says he embraces bringing on new voice actors in the name of diversity -- the more the merrier, he explains. However, you can tell Matt's not nearly as up in arms as some have been about Apu's handling. He was asked if he would chan...

WWE without its founder, Vince McMahon, is difficult for anyone in professional wrestling to envision, but his daughter Stephanie says that when the time comes for the 75-year-old chairman to retire, the company will take a group approach to management. “I don’t think there will ever be a person-to-person replacement for Vince McMahon. He does too much. The landscape would look different however it shakes out,” Stephanie McMahon, who has been both a performer and business exec for WWE for over 20 years and currently serves as the promotion’s chief brand officer, said on the “Bloomberg Business of Sports” podcast Saturday. Fans have generally believed that Stephanie would take control along with her husband and wrestling legend Paul “Triple H” Levesque, who has spent the past several years...

Exclusive Saweetie said 'Take care' -- but Quavo did NOT say "take Bentley" in response ... despite what the Internet has accepted as fact. Rumors were swirling this weekend that the Migos rapper had his now ex's luxury ride repossessed as payback for breaking up with him so publicly this past week -- but we're here to tell you definitively ... there's simply no truth to it.

Screenshot: Warner Bros. A lot of people took four hours out of their weekends to watch Zack Snyder’s Justice League on HBO Max and the streamer is betting you’re willing to do that again to watch it sans color. Also, despite Christopher Nolan’s annoyance, his timey-wimey Tenet will also be making its way to the service soon. Teased on Twitter, a black and white version of Snyder’s Justice League is “coming soon” to HBO Max. Warner Bros. is calling it “gray” but at least they teased a little clip featuring Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne and Jeremy Irons’ Alfred. Oddly enough, it involved the two discussing the color red... A black and white version of the superhero film was something the director had talked about for a while, even mentioning a version had been simply sitting on his com...
