Obamacare to be considered by new-look US Supreme Court after Texas judge rules it is unconstitutional
America’s new-look conservative-leaning US Supreme Court looks set to rule next year whether to overturn Barack Obama’s flagship Obamacare policy. The highest court in America is expected to consider Mr Obama’s signature political legacy after a judge in Texas declared it unconstitutional. Donald Trump, who tipped the balance in the court with controversial appointments, called the Texas ruling "Great news for America!" and said Obamacare was an "unconstitutional disaster". In Texas, Judge Reed O’Connor delivered his 55-page ruling on the eve of the deadline for Americans to sign up for 2019 health insurance coverage under Obamacare. Republicans have long opposed the health care system, officially introduced by the Affordable Care Act in…

Rousey Talks Title Match, Big E Trolled, Theory Calls Out Cena
Last week on Raw, it was announced that Natalya will face Ronda Rousey in a match for the Raw Women’s Champion during tonight’s edition of the show. Natalya and Rousey have been friends onscreen for a number of months now, and they’ve had each other’s backs at times. Could that friendship go south tonight since Rousey’s championship will be on the line? Rousey herself took to social media to promote the title match, and she even asked herself the very same question. Rousey may be undefeated in WWE right now, but Natalya is one of the most experienced women in the entire company. Nattie vs. Rousey was taped last week,…

Rumor Killer on Kenny Omega’s WWE Contract Offer
The rumors on Kenny Omega possibly signing with WWE continue but one thing is for sure – he would not get creative control. It was recently rumored online that WWE’s contract offer to Omega included creative control but Dave Meltzer noted on a recent edition of The Wrestling Observer Radio Program that WWE did not offer such a perk. WWE rarely offers full creative control to talents, especially these days. Omega likely has an idea of where he will end up and it is believed that he will make a decision before the end of this month. Omega, who just dropped The IWGP Heavyweight Title to Hiroshi Tanahashi at New…
