Dean Ambrose technically still is the WWE champion, but only after a controversial ending to his title match with former Shield partner Seth Rollins on “Monday Night Raw.” The match finished after a “Superplex,” but both men had their shoulders on the ground, resulting in a draw. That meant Ambrose, who entered the night as the champion, walked out of Providence’s Dunkin’ Donuts Center with the belt around his waist. Fans without the WWE Network might not know that, though, because the final decision wasn’t made until Raw went off the air. New Raw commissioner Stephanie McMahon had Rollins declared the champion at the end of the show, bu...

Thunder Arena Takes Down Kevin Durant Photo As Era Ends In OKC
Kevin Durant is no longer a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder after agreeing to a two-year contract with the Golden State Warriors on Monday. You can expect over the next few days everything with Durant’s name and photo to be removed from Chesapeake Energy Arena in OKC. The removal outside the arena already is underway. And it didn’t take very long for the “Crying Jordan” meme to make an appearance. It’s a sad moment for Thunder fans. Durant was the franchise’s best player from its inception in 2008-09 after owner Clay Bennett moved the team from Seattle. In all honesty, the team never should have left Seattle, so T...

WWE SummerSlam: Undertaker-Brock Lesnar Main Event Ends In Controversy
WWE SummerSlam 2015 ended in controversy. The Undertaker officially defeated Brock Lesnar via submission in the main event at Barclays Center. But replays show Lesnar probably should have emerged victorious in the WrestleMania 30 rematch. The superstars beat the crap out of each other in front of an electric crowd in Brooklyn, N.Y. The Undertaker amazingly kicked out of three F5s, including one through an announce table, before the combatants traded submissions that ultimately resulted in a strange ending. Lesnar put The Undertaker into his trademark submission move, the Kimura Lock, at which point ‘Taker tapped out. The referee didn’t see The...
