Backstage Update On Daniel Bryan’s AEW Debut – Wrestling Inc.

Daniel Bryan (aka Bryan Danielson) is set to make his AEW debut at Sunday’s All Out pay-per-view from the NOW Arena near Chicago. It was originally reported by Bodyslam that Bryan was signing with AEW and would likely make his debut at the Grand Slam edition of Dynamite on September 22 in New York City. It was then reported that Bryan would be debuting at All Out. In an update, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported today that multiple AEW sources have said that Bryan’s debut is scheduled for All Out. It was also noted that if Bryan does not debut on Sunday, it would be because of a change in plans.

Christopher Lloyd plays Rick Sanchez in new Rick and Morty promo – The Verge

A brief new promo for Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty features Christopher Lloyd playing the titular Rick Sanchez, scratching an itch that has persisted for many fans since the show’s genesis as a Back to the Future spoof. In the 14-second clip, we see Lloyd hop out of a portal and into his garage alongside Jaeden Martell (Knives Out, It), playing a pretty convincing Morty. Lloyd then does his best riff on Han Solo’s famous line from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, with a signature Rick Sanchez belch added for good measure: “Morty, we’re home.” Aside from an “aw, jeez” from Martell, that’s it. There’s no explicit mention of whether this is an allusion to a potential Lloyd cameo in Sunday’s season five finale, or if it’s just another quick one-off clip — which the showrunners have m...

UK panel advise against COVID vaccines for healthy 12- to 15-year-olds – Yahoo News

By Alistair Smout LONDON (Reuters) -Britain's vaccine advisers said they were not recommending the vaccination of all 12- to 15-year-olds against COVID-19, preferring a precautionary approach in healthy children due to a rare side effect of heart inflammation. The advice could see Britain pursue a different approach to the United States, Israel and some European countries, which have rolled out vaccinations to children more broadly. However a final decision has not been taken, as the British government said it would consult medical advisers to look at other factors, such as disruption to schools. Many politicians and some scientists have spoken out in favour of vaccinating more children amid concern that COVID-19 could spread in schools that are re-opening after summer holidays, further ...

U.S. covid death toll hits 1500 a day amid delta scourge – The Washington Post

Ali Mokdad, a researcher at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington whose model is considered among the more optimistic, said that at least nine states may have reached, or passed, their peak for the delta variant — Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida in the South, along with Nevada and Hawaii — but that has little to do with policy changes or other major events.
