Fears over WWE with promotion heading to Saudi Arabia for Night of Champions amid Iran’s warning to US

FEARS are rising over the WWE’s Night of Champions after Iran’s warning to the US.

The wrestling promotion have scheduled the big fixture for June 28 – next Saturday.

And the action is due to take place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

John Cena is expected to be part of the action, defending his Undisputed WWE Championship against CM Punk.

However, fans are growing increasingly worried about the Night of Champions.

It comes after President Donald Trump ordered the US’ launch of bomb strikes on three key Iranian nuclear sites.

America used covert tactics and the world’s biggest conventional bombs to inflict the devastating bombardment.

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said Operation Midnight Hammer was “an incredible and overwhelming success” that took months and weeks of planning.

But Iran – who are set to meet with the Kremlin on Monday – vowed the “outrageous” attacks would have “everlasting consequences”.

And an Iranian state television anchor claimed that “every American citizen or military personnel in the region is now a target” and that Iran will finish the conflict Trump started.

The reason this affects the WWE show is because the United States have bases in Saudi Arabia – thus fitting the category of targets outlined by Iranian TV.

To complicate matters further, the UK have advised citizens – including wrestlers and WWE fans – against travelling to nearby UAE and Qatar as tensions in the Middle East escalate further.

On Sunday, the British Government also updated information for Saudi Arabia, advising against all travel within 10km of the Yemen border and all but essential travel within 10-80km of the Yemen border.

And fans looking forward to the Night of Champions are growing increasingly concerned.

One wrote: “With the ever rapid developments happening in that part of the world and especially with what’s happened tonight, there’s a high chance this ends up getting cancelled. At this point some of the wrestlers might even decide to back out for safety.”

Another said: “If there was ever a time for WWE to cancel a Saudi Arabia show now is the time they’re seriously about to send their entire roster right here in a week.”

A third added: “Needs to be cancelled and moved to Vegas immediately.”

And a fourth commented: “To be fair, the event should be postponed or scrapped altogether. Talent’s safety should be the primary concern for any wrestling company.”

WWE is yet to make any statement on next weekend’s event.

SunSport has contacted WWE for comment.

Chelsea asked to explain relationship with controversial ticket website Todd Boehly part-owns after fan fury

CHELSEA have been asked to explain their relationship with ticket resale site Vivid Seats after fan fury towards Todd Boehly.

Blues co-owner Boehly is a director and investor in the American firm, which listed some individual Premier League tickets for up to £20,000 last season.

The Chelsea Supporters’ Trust (CST) wrote to Premier League chief executive Richard Masters in March saying they were “dismayed” by the connection.

Blues supporters also said Boehly’s position felt like a “breach of trust” and a “clear conflict of interest”.

Vivid Seats, who often sell tickets at inflated rates, is listed on the Premier League website as an unauthorised ticket website.

The league has even told fans to “exercise extreme caution” when purchasing from Vivid Seats.

Masters met with the Football Supporters Association last month and revealed the Premier League have now contacted Chelsea and that the matter is “ongoing”.

The minutes from the meeting between the FSA and Masters, which included CST vice-chair Dom Rosso, read: “RM [Masters] confirmed the PL had written to Chelsea to seek clarification on the club’s position with the matter ongoing.

“RM advised the PL would reply to CST once the PL had concluded its discussions with the club.”

Chelsea took strong action against ticket touts earlier this season.

Moment huge wedge tornado with terrifying black funnel rips path of destruction in deadly electric storms killing three

THIS is the moment a mammoth wedge tornado rips a path of destruction killing three and causing thousands to lose power.

The deathly winds tore through parts of North Dakota – devastating homes and swallowing electric cables.

Two men and one woman have been confirmed dead by officials in two areas around the town of Enderlin, North Dakota south of Fargo.

Shocking footages shows the sky illuminated by lightening as a dense and mushrooming cloud swirls.

The large hail and powerful winds are believed to have battered through Northern Minnesota and northern Wisconisn on Friday with communities Spiritwood, Valley City and Fort Ransom largely affected.

Some 25,000 residents were left without power as some areas like Sheldon stuck without electricity until Saturday evening.

While the brutal storm was confirmed as a tornado crews are still working to determine its strength and wind speeds.

Meteorologist Timothy Lynch, said: “Essentially, that produced the winds upward of 114 mph across a portion of eastern North Dakota and even in northwest Minnesota.

“I’ve not seen one since I’ve been here. I’ve been here seven years.”

Although an exact figure has not been determined, a number of homes also suffered extensive damage with reports of blown out roofs and damages buildings.

Michaela and Colton Briss live in the path where the tornado travelled north.

The couple were forced to hide in their basement as the twister destroyed their home’s windows and door frames, reports Inforum.

North Dakota Governor Kelly Armstrong said: “Our hearts and sympathies go out to the family and friends of the three North Dakotans who tragically lost their lives in Friday’s tornado, and to the close-knit community in Enderlin, which suffered widespread damage.

“We thank our dedicated first responders and community leaders, including our many volunteer first responders, for their swift action to keep residents safe and help them recover.”

This comes just a couple of months after a tornado ripped through Arkansas and rumbled Mirrouri.

At least four people were reported dead in neighbouring Tennessee and Missouri as the tornadoes battered the wider region.

What is a wedge tornado?

A “WEDGE” tornado is the informal name for a particular kind of storm.

As the title suggests, these are tornadoes where the storm cuts a distinctive wedge shape against the sky.

In a wedge tornado, the centre of the storm is highly-concentrated at a single spot, drawing in clouds from a wide area above.

This is what give the storm such a tight triangular shape.

The dense epicentre of a wedge tornado means the surrounding winds reach exceptional speeds – sometimes faster than 200mph.

And that makes this kind of storm especially deadly.

Dramatic footage showed a dense grey wedge blotting out the sky.

Whilst huge clouds were seen dragged into the centre, which swirled down to the ground.

Bright fiery flashes were captured sparking amongst the dark mass as electricity cables were torn from their masts.

Debris could be seen flying around the tornado as it smashed through trees and buildings.

The storm was first spotted just east of Jonesboro, before it tore a northeasterly path towards the state line with Missouri.

Winds of almost 200mph accompanied the violent vortex, adding to the carnage.

Brandon Copic, a storm chaser for Fox Weather, who braved an approach, said at the time: “It’s coming very close to me. There is an audible roar with it right now.”

Weather experts estimated it was at least a four on EF scale, with some signs of being even stronger.

A category four storm is characterised as a violent with wind speeds between 166 and 200 mph, capable of causing catastrophic damage, levelling well-built structures, and tossing vehicles and large objects.

Ex-World Snooker Champ maverick Luca Brecel fails to show up for start of season after going public with new girlfriend

LUCA BRECEL did not bother to turn up for the first day of the new snooker season and will miss out on a mega-money Chinese takeaway.

The Belgian Bullet has fallen a long way since becoming champion of the world in thrilling style in May 2023.

The 2025-26 baize campaign began on Sunday with Wuhan Open qualifying and Brecel, 30, was due to play Pakistani Haris Tahir.

It was scheduled to take place at 2.30pm at the Mattioli Arena in Leicester.

Yet Brecel, who has fallen to 39th on the WST list, appears not to have been in the country.

So, a 5-0 walkover was awarded to his opponent, who secured a spot in the main draw in the Far East.

On Saturday, he posted images of himself with his reported new girlfriend and hours before his match he uploaded a photo of pizzas and two wine glasses.

If anything, it suggested he was not necessarily in the mood for break-building.

It is another sorry situation for a potting maverick who lives by his own rules.

His absence means he will not take part in the Wuhan Open, which takes place in the last week of August and has a top prize of about £140,000.

Former world champions Mark Williams, Shaun Murphy and John Higgins all made the effort to play over the weekend despite qualifying being behind closed doors.

During the World Championship, Brecel flew to Sheffield, from Holland via East Midlands Airport, on the day of his second-round clash with Ding Junhui.

That is because he did not want to stay the night before in a hotel in South Yorkshire.

Amazingly, he dominated the opening session 7-1 against Ding even though he had only arrived in the UK a few hours earlier.
