Brock Lesnar lost a lot of cool points on Monday as he made his entrance during this week’s edition of WWE Raw. Lesnar was supposed to be the major draw to close out the show at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Okla. He came out of the tunnel to his signature music and fiery background graphics. However, his air of intimidation dissipated instantly the moment he slipped as his entrance pyrotechnics were triggered. Never in the 20+ years of Brock Lesnar’s entrances has this happened. 🤣🤣 move over Titus worldslide we have a new greatest botch of all time #wweraw pic.twitter.com/d6KmwPDBxD— Tanny Wrestling 🔥 (@TannyWrestling) November 25, 2025 The man nicknamed the “beast incarnate” looked anything but an unstoppable force due to the slip-up. The 48-year-old looked every bit his age as he stumbled in front of thousands of screaming fans. Lesnar did a decent job of recovering from the gaffe. He did a full backward roll and got back to his feet in one quick motion. He placed his cowboy hat on ally Bron Breakker’s head as he laughed off the misstep. After shaking off the embarrassing moment, Lesnar teamed up with Breaker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, and Drew McIntyre in an all-out brawl against Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, and The Usos. The show ended with Lesnar and Reigns trading blows, but the final moment was overshadowed by the unscripted tumble that spread like wildfire on the internet.

(AP Photo/Pier Marco Tacca) GURGL, Austria | American ski star Mikaela Shiffrin is heading into her home races in Colorado next weekend as the overall World Cup leader on a two-event winning streak. Shiffrin dominated another slalom Sunday as she made it two convincing wins from two races in the discipline to start the Olympic season. Racing in sunny but cold conditions in the Austrian Alps, Shiffrin posted the fastest time in both runs to finish 1.23 seconds ahead of second-placed Lara Colturi, an Italian prodigy competing for Albania. The pair also went 1-2 in the first slalom of the season a week ago in Finland, where Shiffrin also led both runs and won by 1.66. “I think it’s some of the best slalom skiing I ever did,” said Shiffrin, who got her 66th World Cup win in slalom and 103rd overall, both are records. Slalom world champion Camille Rast trailed by 1.41 in third, as the podium resembled the one from last year’s race in Gurgl. Her Swiss teammate Wendy Holdener dropped to fourth. Shiffrin’s next races are a giant slalom on Saturday and a slalom the following day in Copper Mountain, the regular training base of the U.S. ski team. The women’s races follow two men’s events in Copper Mountain on Thursday and Friday. “I am really excited to go to Copper. I mean, I stay in my own bed for the first time during the season since we used to go to Aspen,” Shiffrin said. On Sunday, Shiffrin led Colturi by 0.31 after a tight opening run, but used an all-attacking final leg to make the gap four times as big. “I had to push so hard, but it was really nice with the sun on the second run,” Shiffrin said. “It was pretty much how I expected it, not easy, but I knew the others were pushing, so I had no choice. You have to go.” Shiffrin and Colturi now rank 1-2 in both the slalom and overall standings after three events. Shiffrin’s teammate Paula Moltzan stood third after she finished Sunday’s race in fifth place. Moltzan was second and Shiffrin fourth in the season-opening giant slalom in October, which was won by Austrian skier Julia Scheib. Shiffrin also won the season’s first two slaloms in Levi and Gurgl last year, but then had a frightening crash in a GS when chasing career win 100 in Killington, Vermont in November. She returned two months later and won two more slaloms, but announced before the current season she planned to reduce her schedule to slalom and GS, and maybe super-G, heading into the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics in February. “I was so focused on giant slalom over the prep period, trying to get my level back to something worthy in GS races. So, I didn’t get a lot of slalom training, but I got good slalom training,” said Shiffrin, who won Olympic gold in slalom in 2014 and in GS four years later. With 2022 Olympic champion Petra Vlhova still recovering from the lingering knee injury she sustained in January 2024, Colturi has developed into Shiffrin’s main rival in slalom. “It’s just amazing to come back here to the podium,” Colturi said. “I was feeling not that good during my runs because this kind of conditions for me are not the best things.” Born in Italy, Colturi…

The turbulence caused by the longest government shutdown on record may still be fresh on travelers’ minds this Thanksgiving, but experts say preparing for the usual holiday crush of winter weather, heavy traffic and crowded airports can help ease those jitters. “I think the shutdown at this point is history for air travel. The airlines understand this time of year so well. They know exactly what they need to do,” said Sheldon H. Jacobson, an airport and airlines operations expert. “The real challenge is making sure travelers can help themselves.” Here’s a guide to navigating the busiest travel week of the year: How busy could it be? Travel forecasts point to packed airports and roads. A week after lifting the unprecedented flight restrictions it placed on commercial airlines during the shutdown, the Federal Aviation Administration is preparing for its busiest Thanksgiving week in 15 years, with more than 360,000 flights scheduled between Monday and next Tuesday. That’s more than 17.8 million people who will be screened by the Transportation Security Administration. AAA projects 1.3 million more travelers will be on the roads than last year, pushing the total number of people traveling by car to at least 73 million. Winter weather You can’t control the weather, but you can control how prepared you are if a winter storm hits. If your flight is canceled or delayed, will you drive instead or postpone or cancel your trip? Knowing your options ahead of time can reduce stress if a storm leaves you stranded. James Belanger, vice president of meteorology at the Weather Company, recommends checking the forecast frequently while planning your trip. The Weather Channel offers a Thanksgiving weekly forecast highlighting major airports and highways that could be affected by bad weather — including snow, ice and rain — along with a free online tool that shows how the weather might impact your travel route. On Tuesday, the FAA’s busiest day with more than 52,000 flights scheduled, forecasters say rain could cause problems in the Pacific Northwest and for much of the eastern U.S. Airports in Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Seattle and Washington, D.C., could be impacted, according to the Weather Channel. What to pack (and what to skip) Jacobson, whose research contributed to the design of TSA PreCheck, recommends starting your packing by unpacking. Check every pocket in case TSA-restricted items, like full-sized bottles, were left behind from a previous trip. This simple scan can help you get through security faster, especially when airports are crowded. If you’re traveling with gifts, Jacobson suggests wrapping them at your destination because TSA agents may need to open them. When deciding which clothes and shoes to pack, Belanger says to check the “feels like” temperature for a better sense of the weather, especially if you’re not used to the cold. And don’t forget a REAL ID is required to fly within the U.S., or you’ll need to bring another accepted form of ID, like a passport or military ID. People with iPhones can now also add their U.S. passport details to Apple Wallet, which can be scanned at participating airports if travelers don’t have a REAL ID. More than a dozen states already accept some form of a mobile ID at airport checkpoints, and travelers can go to the TSA website for more details. Road trip ready Whether driving is your top choice or backup plan, AAA spokesperson Aixa Diaz suggests checking your tires, car battery and fluids, then hitting the road with a full tank of gas as early as possible to avoid traffic. Last year, AAA said, it responded to nearly 600,000 emergency roadside assistance calls during the Thanksgiving travel period to help drivers stranded by dead batteries, flat tires and empty tanks. According to an analysis by Google Maps: — Traffic on Wednesday is expected to be 14% heavier than usual between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., with peak traffic from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. — On Thanksgiving Day, the roads will…

HARET HREIK, Lebanon | Israel on Sunday struck Lebanon’s capital for the first time since June, saying it killed Hezbollah’s chief of staff Haytham Tabtabai and warning the Iran-backed militant group not to rearm and rebuild a year after their latest war. The strike in Beirut’s southern suburbs killed five people and wounded 25 others, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said. Hezbollah confirmed Tabtabai’s death. Earlier it said the strike, launched almost exactly a year after a ceasefire in the Israel-Hezbollah war, threatened an escalation of attacks — just days before Pope Leo XIV is scheduled to visit Lebanon on his first foreign trip. “We will continue to act forcefully to prevent any threat to the residents of the north and the state of Israel,” Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said. The military instructed residents in northern Israel near the Lebanese border to continue with daily routines, indicating that it did not anticipate a military response from Hezbollah. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Tabtabai of leading Hezbollah’s efforts to rearm. Israeli airstrikes over southern Lebanon have intensified in recent weeks while Israel and the United States have pressured Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah. Israel asserts that the group is trying to rebuild its military capabilities. The Lebanese government, which supports disarming Hezbollah, has denied those claims. It also says troops have deployed to the south but that its cash-strapped army needs more resources. Hezbollah has not attacked Israel since the ceasefire began. In December, it fired a couple of rockets that landed on open territory near an Israeli military base and called it a “warning.” Tabtabai had been the apparent successor of Ibrahim Aqil, who was killed in September 2024 in Israeli attacks that wiped out much of Hezbollah’s senior leadership, including longtime leader Hassan Nasrallah. Tabtabai also had led Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Unit. In 2016, the U.S. designated him as a terrorist, calling him a military leader who led Hezbollah’s special forces in Syria and Yemen, and it offered up to $5 million for information about him. ‘Escalation of assaults’ “Hezbollah’s leadership is studying the matter of response and will take the appropriate decision,” Mahmoud Qamati, deputy chair of Hezbollah’s political council, told journalists at the scene. “The strike on the southern suburbs today opens the door to an escalation of assaults all over Lebanon.” Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun in a statement condemned the strike and accused Israel of refusing to implement its end of the ceasefire agreement. He called on the international community to “intervene with strength and seriousness to stop the attacks on Lebanon and its people.” Israel’s military statement said Israel remains committed to the “understandings” agreed upon by Israel and Lebanon. Smoke could be seen in the busy Haret Hreik neighborhood, where Israel did not issue an evacuation warning before the strike. The fourth floor of an apartment building was damaged. Gunshots were heard to disperse crowds as emergency workers arrived. “This is definitely a civilian area and void of any military presence,” Hezbollah parliamentarian Ali Ammar told reporters. An Israeli drone was flying near the building targeted. “They want to take our weapons. But our weapons will not be taken,” said Maryam Assaf, who lives nearby and heard the strike. She said it “only gives us more determination, strength, and dignity.” Hezbollah severely weakened Lebanon’s president last week said the country is ready to enter negotiations with Israel to stop its airstrikes and to withdraw from five hilltop points it occupies on Lebanese territory. He also has said Lebanon is committed to disarming all non-state actors in the country, including Hezbollah. Hezbollah has said that talk about its military arsenal should come through dialogue with the Lebanese state once Israel stops its attacks. The latest Israel-Hezbollah war began…
