Tiffany Stratton becomes the first woman to cash in the WWE Money in the Bank briefcase twice, betraying friend Chelsea Green at Crown Jewel on November 7, 2026 to win her second Women’s Championship. The article ranks all nine women's cash‑ins—from Nikki A.S.H.’s brief 2021 run to Naomi’s Evolution shock—rating Stratton’s 2025 cash‑in and her fresh 2026 betrayal among the best. It notes Asuka is the only winner who never cashed in, and highlights how each cash‑in impacted title reigns and storylines. Fans get a quick hierarchy of the most memorable Money in the Bank moments and insight into Stratton’s evolving heel turn.
Is WWE Punishing Gunther for Skipping Crown Jewel?
Gunther’s clean loss to United States Champion Trick Williams in a dark match on Nov. 9 Raw may be WWE’s subtle retaliation for skipping the Crown Jewel event in Riyadh on Nov. 7. The defeat—rare for the heavily protected star, who normally only loses by disqualification—came just two days after he declined to travel, a decision that also canceled a scheduled bout with Finn Balor at the Saudi show. Analysts Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez suggest the timing hints at a warning, though the impact on Gunther’s TV standing remains to be seen on upcoming SmackDown episodes.
Lauren’s Canadiens’ Corner: An Ode To Carey Price
Carey Price’s Hall of Fame induction on November 9 sparks a nostalgic tribute from a longtime Canadiens fan. The author recalls the 2005 draft controversy that initially favored forward Gilbert Brulé over Price, the early goalie debate with Jaroslav Halák, and Price’s breakout 2010‑11 season. Highlights include his 2014 Olympic gold performance (5‑0, .972 SV%, 0.59 GAA), the record‑breaking 2014‑15 campaign with 44 wins, a goaltending Triple Crown, and a historic sweep of the Vezina, Hart, Ted Lindsay and Jennings trophies. The piece celebrates Price’s evolution from doubted rookie to legendary Habs icon.
Canadiens Preview: Fowler Starts, Price To Be Honoured
The Canadiens host the Wild on Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. ET in a night marked by Carey Price’s induction into the Bell Centre Ring of Honour following his Hall of Fame entry. Rookie goalkeeper Jacob Fowler earns his first start, mirroring Price’s calm style after posting strong numbers this season. Montreal’s lineup stays largely unchanged from the 4‑2 win over Toronto, extending its point‑streak to 10 games—the longest since Oct. 14. The matchup, featuring stars like Cole Caufield, Nick Suzuki and Minnesota’s Kirill Kaprizov, airs on TSN2 and RDS, with a Sportsnaut recap available afterward.
Rumored NY Yankees Free Agent Target Alec Bohm Will Be Center of MAJOR Bidding War?
The New York Yankees are poised to enter a surprising free‑agent bidding war for Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm as the MLB offseason accelerates ahead of a Dec. 1 lockout. With a career‑worst .249/.315/.383 line in 2026 but a solid career slash of .273/.325/.410, Bohm offers 15‑20 homers and 90+ RBIs when healthy. Yankees need to upgrade third base after Ryan McMahon departs, while the market for right‑handed infield bats remains thin. Competing suitors could force New York to overpay or explore trade alternatives.
Green Bay Packers Predictions: 4 Bold Projections for Week 10 Matchup vs Minnesota Vikings
The Packers (6-3) face the Vikings (6-2) at Lambeau Field on Nov. 10, with four bold predictions shaping the outlook. Wideout Christian Watson is slated for his third straight 100‑yard game, hitting the 1,000‑yard milestone for the season. Rookie edge rusher Dani Dennis‑Sutton is expected to sack Vikings QB Carson Wentz for the third week running. Green Bay’s ground game looks crippled as running backs Josh Jacobs and MarShawn Lloyd are out or doubtful, leaving the offense reliant on deep throws. The article also notes the Vikings’ recent struggles when opponents dominate time of possession, suggesting the Packers’ passing attack could be the difference.
NY Mets Rumor Claims Former All-Star Drawing ‘Interest From Multiple Teams,’ But Trade May Be Wrong Move
A fresh rumor suggests Mets reliever Kodai Senga, the 2023 All-Star, is attracting trade interest from multiple clubs, but experts warn New York should keep him for now. After a disappointing 74-88 season that left the Mets at the bottom of the NL East despite the league’s largest payroll, the team faces a roster overhaul before a Dec. 1 lockout. Senga struggled early last year, shifted to the bullpen, then excelled as closer with a 1.74 ERA and eight saves in August‑September. Trading him could weaken an already thin bullpen, especially with uncertainty around closer Devin Williams, so the Mets may wait until free agency and post‑lockout negotiations.
NFL Trade Rumors: Teams Trying to Trade for Denver Broncos Pro Bowler
As the NFL trade deadline approaches, the Denver Broncos—sitting atop the AFC West at 7-2—are fielding inquiries about tight end Evan Engram. Two‑time Pro Bowler Engram, 32, has recorded 169 yards and a touchdown this season, with only three 30‑yard games so far. ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler says teams are interested but the move is unlikely, as Denver lacks a clear replacement and favors retaining the veteran. While a tighter line‑up could boost Denver’s 20th‑ranked offense, Engram may prefer a more prolific passing attack elsewhere, though the Broncos’ current success dampens trade talks.
Tennessee vs Texas A&M: 4 Bold Predictions for Volunteers @ Aggies Matchup
The November 10 Sportsnaut preview pits a 7‑2 Tennessee Volunteers against a struggling 4‑5 Texas A&M Aggies at Kyle Field. Tennessee, now 20th in the polls and ranked inside the top eight for the CFP, leans on a defense allowing just 15.1 points per game and a rushing attack centered on DeSean Bishop, who’s seeing a workload jump to 28.4 carries per game. Aggies quarterback Marcel Reed has been limited to under 190 passing yards in five of his last six outings, and the offense ranks 86th in scoring (26.1 PPG). The article predicts a “miserable Saturday” for Reed, a 200‑yard, multi‑TD performance for Tennessee QB George MacIntyre, and a key rushing showdown, while highlighting Texas A&M’s defensive woes against the pass.
New Rumor Claims Price For Top NY Yankees & NY Mets Free Agent Target Skyrocketing
A new rumor suggests that both the New York Yankees and Mets may have to bite into a Josh Hader‑level contract to land San Diego reliever Adrian Morejon. The 27‑year‑old setup man has posted sub‑3.00 ERAs for three seasons, including a 2.08 mark in his 2025 All‑Star year, and is drawing intense interest as left‑handed arms become premium after a record 48.8% of plate appearances came from left‑handed hitters in 2026. With the Yankees losing closer David Bednar to free agency and the Mets scrambling after trading four bullpen arms, the teams could fight over a five‑year, $95 million deal that would make Morejon one of baseball’s highest‑paid relievers.
NFL Analyst Says 30-Year-Old Backup QB ‘Makes a Ton of Sense’ for Minnesota Vikings
On trade‑deadline day, ESPN analyst Ben Solak says 30‑year‑old Seattle Seahawks backup Drew Lock could be a logical fit for the Minnesota Vikings, who are actively shopping for a quarterback after a 6‑1 start. Lock has posted a 71.1% completion rate, 597 yards, five TDs and no interceptions in two wins, outperforming starter Sam Darnold. Solak calls him a “bridge quarterback” and admits he’d consider Lock, though he doubts the Vikings will pursue another short‑term solution before the deadline.
Kansas City Chiefs Brian Thomas Trade Hopes Officially Dead Following New Rumor
The Kansas City Chiefs’ pursuit of former Pro Bowl receiver Brian Thomas Jr. ends as the Jacksonville Jaguars refuse to trade him before the deadline, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. The Jaguars, who recently swapped draft picks for defensive tackle Jordan Davis and safety Jessie Bates III, aim to keep Thomas to bolster a Super Bowl push. Despite the Chiefs sitting 6‑2 and ranking in the NFL’s top‑10 scoring offenses, recent losses exposed a need for passing weapons to support Patrick Mahomes and a declining Travis Kelce. With the trade off the table, Kansas City must explore other options before the 4 p.m. ET cut‑off.
5 Moves NFL Teams Should Deeply Regret in 2026
Mid‑season analysis from Sportsnaut flags five 2026 NFL moves that could haunt teams for years. The Indianapolis Colts wasted $88 million on quarterback Daniel Jones despite a shaky 70‑47 TD‑INT record and an Achilles injury, prompting GM Chris Ballard’s dismissal. Tampa Bay overpays Baker Mayfield with a three‑year, $165 million extension, yet he posts a career‑low 74.9 passer rating and a 1‑4 record. The Los Angeles Chargers’ hire of Mike McDaniel as offensive coordinator backfires spectacularly, leaving the offense last in EPA per play and struggling to reach the red zone. The article also cites two additional regrettable decisions, underscoring how costly misjudgments are shaping the 2026 season.
NY Giants Get VERY Disappointing Update on Major RB Trade Option Before Today’s Deadline
The New York Giants, sitting atop the NFC East with a 5-2-1 record heading into Week 10, hoped to acquire Tony Pollard before the NFL trade deadline, but the Tennessee Titans have flatly refused any offers. Giants’ earlier talks about trading for Jonathan Taylor fell through after Indianapolis withdrew its second‑ and fifth‑round picks, leaving New York with slim prospects for a marquee RB. With the Titans keeping Pollard—an RB1 slated for another 1,000‑yard season—and the Ravens also holding onto Derrick Henry, the Giants’ chances to add a star running back before Tuesday’s deadline look bleak.
Patriots Face NFL Trade Deadline Dilemma as Pass Rush Needs Clash With Cautious Approach
The New England Patriots enter the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline needing a pass‑rush upgrade but are unlikely to splurge after trading a 2028 first‑round pick for A.J. Brown. At 5‑4 and fresh from a 45‑27 loss to Green Bay, they aim to add affordable edge help—perhaps a rotational player like Zaven Collins, Nolan Smith or former Patriot K’Lavon Chaisson—without sacrificing major draft capital or cap space (under $5 M). Coach Mike Vrabel says the team will explore all reasonable options, but a blockbuster deal is not expected.
Bones Hyland Reveals the Origin Story Behind the Timberwolves’ Batman
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Joan Beringer, dubbed “Batman” by teammate Bones Hyland, returns after a nasal fracture suffered on Nov 8 in New Orleans. Wearing a protective mask, Beringer logs 16 minutes in the Wolves’ 115‑100 win over the Utah Jazz, adding four points, three rebounds and a block while the bench outscored the Jazz by 12 during his stretch. Finch praises the second unit’s energy, and Gobert backs Bering’s growing role as a true‑center option. Bering aims to cut fouls and maintain his high confidence as his responsibilities expand.
NY Mets Giving Tarik Skubal a 10-Year, $400-Plus Million Deal Is Not a Risk? Surprising Data Emerges
The Mets are weighing a potential 10‑year, $400 million contract for two‑time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal as MLB heads into a lockout‑driven free‑agent crunch. While skeptics worry about his performance past age 34, ESPN stats analyst Paul Hembekides cites new data showing that from 2017‑2026, 16 pitchers aged 34+ posted a 5.0+ WAR versus just two position players, making veteran arms eight times more likely to deliver elite seasons. Even accounting for possible injuries, the analysis suggests Skubal could remain a high‑value asset through the latter half of the deal, easing concerns for Mets fans.
2026-27 NHL Power Rankings: Bruins, Wild Surge as Hurricanes Stay Strong
Sportsnaut’s weekly NHL power rankings (week ending Nov. 9) put the Boston Bruins and Minnesota Wild on the rise while the Carolina Hurricanes hold steady near the top. The low end highlights the Vancouver Canucks (3‑15‑1, 7 pts) languishing at No. 32 after a six‑game skid, and the Chicago Blackhawks (4‑13‑1, 9 pts) sinking to No. 31 following a 9‑2 defeat to the Hurricanes. Mid‑tier teams like the Philadelphia Flyers (4‑10‑5, 13 pts) and Pittsburgh Penguins (6‑10‑2, 14 pts) continue to struggle despite occasional wins, and Sidney Crosby climbs to sixth all‑time in points. The rankings cover all 32 clubs, offering a snapshot of early‑season momentum and challenges.
Pair of Green Bay Packers Named to The Athletic’s 2026 NFL Midseason All-Rookie Team
Two Green Bay rookies land on The Athletic’s 2026 NFL Midseason All‑Rookie Team. Cornerback Brandon Cisse, the Packers’ first pick at 52nd overall, earns first‑team honors after a strong stretch in October, posting zero touchdowns allowed in his last five games, 9 passes defended and an interception on 43 targets. Edge rusher Dani Dennis‑Sutton, a 4th‑round (120th overall) pick, makes the second team with 3 sacks, 23 pressures and 10 quarterback hits despite limited snaps. Defensive tackle Chris McClellan receives an honorable mention, and kicker Trey Smack also gets nods, marking four of Green Bay’s six 2026 draft picks as midseason standouts and a bright sign for GM Brian Gutekunst’s roster rebuild.
New Rumor Suggests NY Giants Can Still Make Jonathan Taylor Trade Today Without a 1st-Round Pick
A new report says the New York Giants could still swing a Jonathan Taylor trade before the 4 p.m. ET deadline today, reviving the original offer of a second- and fifth‑round pick. The Giants, now 5‑2‑1 and leading the NFC East ahead of their Week 10 game vs. Washington, may act aggressively to bolster the roster. Insider Jordan Schultz believes the Indianapolis Colts will likely accept the renewed proposal, and Taylor is reportedly open to a fresh start, though the Colts prefer to wait for the offseason if needed.
Minnesota Vikings Trying to Trade for QB After Monday’s Loss
After a 23-6 Monday night defeat that left the Vikings 6-2 and gave them the franchise‑worst time of possession (17:28), Minnesota’s front office is reportedly hunting QB upgrades before the Tuesday trade deadline. With Kyler Murray nursing a grade‑2 hamstring strain, insiders say the team is exploring options such as Kirk Cousins (potentially available from Las Vegas), while Daniel Jones, Justin Herbert and Geno Smith are also on the radar. General manager Nolan Teasley faces pressure to act quickly to fix a 27th‑ranked offense.
Dallas Cowboys Rumors: Insider Reveals Potential Cost For a Josh Sweat Trade with Cardinals
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones signals a buying streak at the NFL trade deadline, targeting Pro Bowl edge rusher Josh Sweat from the struggling Arizona Cardinals. Sweat, 26, posted a 12‑sack season in 2025 but is seeking a new team after coach Jonathan Gannon’s exit. Cardinals reportedly ask for a second‑round pick, but insider Charles Robinson believes Dallas could land him for a third‑rounder. Sweat, under contract through 2028 with a $16.4 million cap hit this year, would bolster a Dallas line featuring Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark and Rashan Gary. The deal hinges on Dallas’ view of its 2027 Super Bowl window.
John Cena Reveals Reasons Behind First Two 2026 John Cena Classic Invites
John Cena launches the inaugural John Cena Classic, set for Dec. 14 at Walt Disney World in Orlando. He announced the event on the Nov. 2 RAW and unveiled the title belt, then revealed his first two invitees: Cody Rhodes, chosen for his global star power and deep love of wrestling, and NXT talent Zilla Fatu, selected as an honorary member of the Anoa’i family. Cena also confirmed that separate men’s and women’s champions will be crowned, hinting at a growing field for the unique competition.
NFL Trade Rumors: Kansas City Chiefs ‘Leader’ To Acquire Coveted, Young Wide Receiver
The Kansas City Chiefs are poised to trade for Indianapolis Colts receiver Josh Downs ahead of the November 10, 2026 trade deadline. Despite a 35‑point, 391‑yard offensive outburst, the Chiefs rank only 11th‑8th in key passing metrics and have relied heavily on injured veteran Tyquan Thornton and tight ends for over 64% of Mahomes' 2,037 yards. Sources say Kansas City leads negotiations, with the Colts demanding a third‑round pick (or a fourth‑round offer on the table). Downs, a 5‑foot‑9 slot receiver with 33 catches for 354 yards this season, could provide quick‑release options for Mahomes, while the Chiefs may also pursue veteran Hollywood Brown from Philadelphia in a separate deal.
Anthony Joshua Eyes Dangerous Daniel Dubois Rematch After Tyson Fury Showdown
Anthony Joshua is eyeing a rematch with Daniel Dubois after his December 11 showdown with Tyson Fury at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, where the WBA (Super) heavyweight title is on the line. Promoter Eddie Hearn says Joshua wants to avenge his September 2024 fifth‑round loss to Dubois, despite the risk. A win over Fury could set up a bout with Dubois, who now holds the WBO heavyweight belt, or a clash with IBF champion Filip Hrgovic. Joshua’s most recent win came in July 2026 against Kristian Prenga, but the Fury fight remains his immediate priority.
