Unapologetically herself, Jordynne Grace has made history by venturing down off the beaten path. Whether it was becoming the first-ever Knockouts Triple Crown Winner in TNA in her past life, she is ready to lead the charge in the "WWE NXT" women's division and beyond since her signing. When reviewing this week's episode of "NXT," Bully Ray couldn't help but commend Grace for unmasking her powerhouse persona and using a word not often muttered in the squared circle industry: "Vulnerability." Ray reflected on this top notch promo by Grace on "Busted Open After Dark."

Following his theft of the United States Championship from Jacob Fatu, this week's "SmackDown" set the wheels in motion for the next chapter of Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline in full force. As always, it stayed a somewhat family affair on Friday, with the show being kicked off with a parking lot skirmish; Sikoa and co. were in their SUV coming into the venue, only for Fatu to jump them, yanking Sikoa through the window and sending JC Mateo head-first into the passenger's door before being separated by officials.

The build to Evolution 2 has been ridiculously subpar and has almost seemed like an afterthought to WWE, and I have to first say that I really disliked both champions just choosing their challengers. Tonight, it was revealed that WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton chose WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus, for seemingly no other reason than Stratton just liked teaming with her at Elimination Chamber back in March. Their segment tonight, and the backstage segment that followed, was just oddly clunky, as well.

While it hasn't felt like a long time since we've last seen Drew McIntyre, it's still excellent to see him back and immediately in the thick of things. The last time we saw him was his steel cage match loss to Damian Priest at Saturday Night's Main Event back in May, and we're going to be seeing him back in action once again at next Saturday's NBC special. McIntyre came back tonight and did what he does best, talk s*** on the mic to some of the biggest players in WWE. This time, it was Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton in the opening segment of the show.

A new captain. A different spinner. A side who are now even further from their strongest XI than they were a game ago. Yet South Africa will still be heavily favoured to beat Zimbabwe when the teams meet again on Sunday (July 6).

England picked up two wickets on the fourth morning of the second Test in Birmingham, including that of half-centurion KL Rahul. But it was a productive session for India thanks to Rishabh Pant's flamboyant batting and his unbroken 51-run stand with Shubman Gill. India scored 113 runs off 25 overs in the session, as they moved to 177 for 3 at Lunch on Day 4, leading by 357 runs.

Shubman Gill became only the second Indian after Sunil Gavaskar to get a double hundred and a hundred in the same Test as India's lead swelled to 484 at Tea on Day 4 of the second Test at Edgbaston. A quick-fire 110-run partnership between Rishabh Pant and Gill was followed by a 68-run stand for the skipper with Ravindra Jadeja as India moved to 304 for 4 at the end of the second session. Although the fifth wicket stand was on the slower side, India managed 127 runs in the session in 30 overs, with the run-rate of 4.23 a touch slower than the opening session's rate of 4.52.
