During the American Century Championship golf tournament on Sunday, NFL star George Kittle stunned spectators by delivering a superkick to WWE superstar The Miz.

Highlights from WWE Evolution 2’s Women’s Championship Matches
At WWE Evolution 2, Becky Lynch successfully defended her WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship by defeating Bayley and Lyra Valkyria in a triple threat opening match. Lynch took advantage of a brief lapse when Bayley was pinning Valkyria, rolling Bayley up to secure the win and extend her title reign to 36 days after winning the belt at Money in the Bank in early June.
In a dramatic turn of events, Jacy Jayne retained the NXT Women’s Championship following an unexpected betrayal. Blake Monroe attacked Jordynne Grace by striking her with the title belt, enabling Jayne to claim victory at the Sunday pay-per-view. Monroe’s silent gesture of handing the championship belt to Jayne as she left the ring confirmed her allegiance, frustrating Grace. Jayne’s reign has now reached 47 days since she won the title back in May.
Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez also held firm as WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions by overcoming multiple teams including Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss, Asuka & Kairi Sane, and Sol Ruca & Zaria. The final sequence involved Flair saving Bliss from a spear, followed by Perez executing her Pop Rocks move on Flair. Rodriguez then secured the pin with a Tehana Bomb, maintaining their championship reigns, which stand at 14 days for Perez and 83 days for Rodriguez, the latter stepping in for the injured Liv Morgan.
Another key match saw Tiffany Stratton retain the WWE Women’s Championship against Hall of Famer Trish Stratus. Stratton sealed her victory with a moonsault, prompting a standing ovation for Stratus from the audience as she exited the ring. Stratton’s championship reign has now lasted 192 days since cashing in her Money in the Bank contract in early January.
