And sometimes, we learn a genuinely interesting behind-the-scenes piece of news about a significant event in WWE’s past, which is exactly what happened on the most recent episode of Total Divas. The event in question was WrestleMania and the Women’s Tag-Team Title Fatal Fourway, where the IIconics successfully defeated Sasha Banks and Bayley, Beth Phoenix and Natalya and Nia Jax and Tamina.

The new 10,000 square feet Toys R Us stores (about a third of the size of the original stores) will be located in The Galleria in Houston, Texas and in the Westfield Garden State Plaza in Paramus, New Jersey.

MORE: Gerrard finalizes Galaxy move | Alex Morgan weds MLS player Multiple sources within MLS have confirmed to Goal USA that the league approached Hernandez about a move to MLS, but the El Tri standout turned it down in order to remain in Europe. Sources also confirmed that the failed bid was the second time MLS tried to lure Chicharito to North America.

Just one year after Paul Pogba’s €109 million move to Manchester United, the then-world record has been beaten three times. The last transfer window saw Neymar become the world’s most expensive player with a €222 million move to Paris Saint-Germain, who also signed Kylian Mbappe in a deal that will cost them €180m. Meanwhile, Barcelona signed Ousmane Dembele from Borussia Dortmund for a total of €145m. Neymar 12/1 to be CL top scorer...

Philadelphia reportedly secured the services of All-Star shortstop Trea Turner on Monday with a massive contract. ESPN’s Jeff Passan was the first with the news. Turner, 29, has long been one of baseball’s best infielders. He’s a good hitter and demon on the basepaths, a player more than familiar with NL East ballparks given his time with the Nationals. Turner will join former Nats teammates Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber in the City of Brotherly Love as the Phils aim to retool for another run for the Commissioner’s Trophy in 2023....

Approximately 500 people attended the show at Aftermath in Columbus, Ohio, NBC News reports, and many of them—including members of the venue’s staff—were reportedly not wearing a mask or practicing social distancing during the performance. On Monday, the Ohio Investigative Unit revealed that Aftermath would receive a citation for violating coronavirus health guidelines, and noted that the venue made no real effort to keep people at a distance. It’s unclear what the precise fallout will be for Aftermath, as the department said that the Ohio Liquor Control Commission will have to determine citation fees and whether or not to suspend, or revoke, the establishment’s liquor license....

The Frenchman knows his side will develop energy, intensity and desire against their fierce rivals, especially after two positive results against Chelsea and Inter Milan. In case you didn’t know… The Lilywhites have won just once in their last 25 visits to Arsenal, their last victory being a 3-2 win way back in November 2010. However, they have won their last seven Premier League London derby matches - a sign that reveals why Lloris is positive ahead of the mouth-watering clash....

The club’s progression since Mauricio Pochettino took the helm is clear to see. A fifth-placed finish in 2014-15 was improved to third the following season, and last year Spurs ended the campaign runners-up to Chelsea. But behind those encouraging numbers is the fact that neither Leicester City nor Chelsea were unduly troubled by the north Londoners’ challenge on their way to glory, and this season Pochettino will be desperate to mount a real title challenge in spite of a disappointing transfer window so far....

The 40-year-old former Italy forward played his last game for Roma as a second-half substitute against Genoa at the end of the season in May but had left the door open to playing elsewhere. However, Monday’s news from the club that he will start work as a director means Totti has hung up his boots for good. After his last match he walked around the stadium and stood before the Curva Sud, tears welling in his eyes, for several minutes before kicking an autographed ball high into the stands....

The visitors in south France faced a pesky Toulouse side, but Lionel Messi pulled enough strings to see PSG out with all three points. The Argentine assisted both goals, as Neymar picked up the opener before halftime and Kylian Mbappe added the second soon after the break. Neymar’s strike, initially ruled out by the offside flag before VAR overruled the call, gives the Brazilian seven goals on the season to lead Ligue 1 and pull him second in the Big 5 leagues behind only Erling Haaland of Man City....

The unnamed pair claimed they were just taking the dirt back home as a souvenir, according to the BBC. The duo were stopped as they prepared to board a ferry that sails to Toulon, France. Police found 14 plastic bottles filled with white beach sand—and weighing more than 90 pounds—in the trunk of their car. They had taken the grains from the beach at Chia, on Sardinia’s southern end. Questioned by police, they insisted they were unaware that leaving with Sardinian sand was a crime....

Toviaz is also used in neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO), a bladder dysfunction disorder, in children 6 years and older. Toviaz works by blocking the activity of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. When these receptors are activated, they cause contraction of bladder smooth muscle, resulting in the desire to urinate. Taking fesoterodine results in fewer receptors available to be activated by acetylcholine and a decrease in bladder smooth muscle contraction. Toviaz is available by prescription as an oral tablet....
