💔 “It’s Not WWE Anymore” – Former Superstars Drop Bombshells on What’s Really Going On Behind the Scenes 🎙️🔥

Instagram: therock

Once a powerhouse of raw energy and untamed charisma, WWE is now being accused of losing its soul—and the people saying it aren’t just fans... they’re former WWE superstars who lived it.

In a string of explosive revelations, released talents have opened up about what they call a “soulless, corporate-first” wrestling machine. Many claim that the passion that once made WWE a global phenomenon is fading fast.

💔 “The Magic Is Missing” – Ex-Stars Break Their Silence

Several former wrestlers (who chose to stay anonymous) didn’t hold back. One called the company:

“A machine that runs on profit, not passion.”

Another dropped the heavy line:

“It’s not WWE anymore. The creative spark, the freedom—it’s just gone. Everything feels plastic and robotic now.”

Backstage, they say, things are no better. The once vibrant locker room has turned cold, filled with paranoia and low morale. Stars feel more like "disposable assets" than respected performers.

😔 What’s Killing the Vibe?

🔸 Scripted Everything – From promos to segments, there's barely any room for real personality.
🔸 Corporate Storytelling – The wild chaos of the McMahon era has been replaced by "safe, boardroom-approved" stories.
🔸 Mass Layoffs – Constant talent releases have left superstars feeling anxious and unappreciated.

💬 Fan Response: Division in the WWE Universe

The WWE Universe is split.
Some fans are saying WWE feels too predictable, like it's playing it safe and clean for advertisers.
Others argue the company is just “evolving with the times.”

Still, the question remains...

"Empires must heed the voices of this nation's common people." — Karan Singh Tyagi

 “They were told to leave. They didn’t. So I opened fire.”

This chilling statement was reportedly made by General Reginald Dyer after he ordered troops to fire on thousands of unarmed people at Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar in 1919. Over 100 years later, the horror of that massacre still remains fresh in India’s memory.

Karan Singh Tyagi, a lawyer-turned-filmmaker, is making his movie debut with Kesari Chapter 2, a film that revisits this tragic event. Even though many filmmakers like Shoojit Sircar, Richard Attenborough, and Ram Madhvani have explored the massacre before, Tyagi believes the story is still very relevant—especially today, in a world filled with misinformation.

“The event connects deeply with today’s times,” Tyagi says. “After the massacre, the truth was hidden. Local newspapers that tried to report what really happened were burned down. A survivor even wrote a poem called Khooni Baisakhi, which the British banned. Instead, they spread lies in the media, saying the people at Jallianwala Bagh were armed and dangerous, and that Dyer was acting in self-defence.”

Tyagi explores two sides in his film: how the British Empire acted before and after April 13, 1919, and the human side of the tragedy—what it meant for the people who were there.

In 2025, as conflicts still rage around the world, Tyagi feels it’s more important than ever to tell such stories. He focuses on the real-life story of C. Sankaran Nair, the only Indian member of the Viceroy’s council who dared to stand up to the British. When he resigned in protest, he boldly told the Viceroy that the Empire was being run by “yes-men” and he might as well replace him with a jamadar (a lower-ranking officer).

Tyagi, who has always been interested in politics and justice, was inspired by the book The Case That Shook the Empire, written by Nair’s great-grandson Raghu Palat and his wife Pushpa Palat. He also studied other sources, including survivor accounts and historical books, which support a powerful claim: that the massacre was not a spontaneous act, but a planned attack. A plane flew over the garden to check the crowd size, and troops were deliberately selected. Interestingly, Sikh soldiers were kept unaware, possibly because they would have refused to participate.

Tyagi also shared his anger over a documentary where General Dyer’s great-granddaughter, Caroline Dyer, defended her ancestor by calling the victims “looters.” He says the British went out of their way to protect Dyer and even praised him as a hero.

Although Kesari Chapter 2 started as an independent film, it stars Akshay Kumar, who Tyagi says gave one of his best performances. “He really connected with the story,” Tyagi says. “He grew up hearing these stories from his grandfather and father.”

As the film’s release approaches, Tyagi and his co-writers hope audiences remember a powerful quote from poet Pablo Neruda that the film ends with:
“Empires perish because they listened to their lawyers and ministers, and not to their poets.”
Tyagi adds, “Empires must listen to the common people of this country.”

Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran are set to star in Meghna Gulzar's upcoming crime-drama, Daayra

 ​

Director Meghna Gulzar is set to reunite with Junglee Pictures for their third collaboration, Daayra, a gripping crime-drama thriller featuring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran in lead roles. Following their previous successful projects, Raazi and Talvar, this new venture is currently in pre-production.​

Daayra is described as a hard-hitting narrative that delves into themes of crime, justice, and the nuanced spaces in between. The film brings together talent from different film industries to portray the complexities of contemporary society.​

Celebrating her 25th year in Hindi cinema, Kareena Kapoor Khan expressed her excitement about the project, stating, “As I celebrate 25 incredible years in Hindi cinema, I'm thrilled to announce my next film, Daayra, with the incredible Meghna Gulzar in the director’s chair. I've long admired her work, from Talvar to Raazi, and to be directed by her is a dream come true. The opportunity to collaborate with the talented Prithviraj is also a highlight, and I'm drawn to the film's bold, thought-provoking narrative. Daayra promises to be a cinematic experience that challenges and inspires, and I look forward to working with Meghna, Prithviraj, and the team at Junglee Pictures on this powerful, timely film.”​

Prithviraj Sukumaran, who recently directed the Malayalam hit L2: Empuraan, takes on another significant Hindi-language role with Daayra. He shared, “When the script was narrated to me, I knew I had to do this. I was thoroughly absorbed by my character and what he brings to the table as the story progresses. It is layered and will definitely connect with the masses. Working with Meghna Gulzar's vision, Junglee Pictures, and an actor like Kareena Kapoor will be a great collaborative experience. Daayra is a story that is one of a kind and digs deep into the societal norms, world of crime and punishment that unfolds.”​

Director Meghna Gulzar elaborated on the film’s theme, saying, “Daayra is a story that compels you to reflect on the society we live in and its institutions that pilot us. With co-writers Sima and Yash, unraveling the greys within the black and white was both challenging and exciting. And as Kareena and Prithviraj bring the lead characters to life, the narrative dynamics are all set to elevate further! It’s always creatively gratifying to collaborate with Junglee Pictures, known for backing stories that are compelling and demand telling.”​

Amrita Pandey, CEO of Junglee Pictures, added, “We are so very proud to be making Daayra. This story couldn’t be in better hands than Meghna's. Her exceptional craft, deep sensitivity, and knack for blending entertainment and substance make her the ideal collaborator to bring this vision to life. We are fortunate to have a dream casting with Kareena and Prithviraj taking on the lead roles. Yash and Sima, who have co-written the film along with Meghna, have created such a cinematic screenplay that adeptly tackles the complexities of our time. We can't wait to embark on this journey.”​

Daayra is co-written by Meghna Gulzar, Yash, and Sima, and marks Meghna’s next directorial venture after the 2023 biopic Sam Bahadur. The film is expected to delve into layered themes surrounding law, societal norms, and the shifting nature of justice, positioning it as a contemporary crime-drama that reflects current issues.

Genelia Deshmukh's Benarasi lehenga, featuring intricate gota patti and zardozi embroidery, is designed by Manish Malhotra.

"‘Timeless over trendy, quality over quantity, and classic silhouettes with a twist,’ says Genelia Deshmukh, capturing the essence of her personal style. For Manish Malhotra's annual Diwali party, she embraced this philosophy, curating a look that stayed true to her ethos.

Rather than the usual sequin-heavy attire for a star-studded celebration, Deshmukh opted for a Benarasi lehenga from the designer’s collection. ‘I love the traditional-classic charm of this outfit. It exudes refinement, poise, and an effortless elegance, which aligns with my belief that ‘less is more, but make it exceptional,’ she shared.

Deshmukh explains her choice, adding, ‘The Benarasi lehenga brings an air of timeless sophistication, emphasizing simplicity and allowing my personality to shine without excess. The look offers a refreshing contrast to more dramatic styles. Kudos to my stylists, Pranay [Jaitly] and Shounak [Amonkar], for recommending this traditional ensemble.’

Reflecting on her initial vision, Jaitly reveals, ‘Genelia’s brief was to keep it classic, comfortable, and true to her essence, especially for a Diwali celebration. This couture piece is crafted from Benarasi fabric and adorned with intricate zardozi and gota patti work.’

‘The blouse is as exquisite as the yellow-gold lehenga skirt, with pearl detailing and tassels on the back,’ Amonkar adds. ‘The set is completed with a coral tissue dupatta, bordered with matching zardozi embroidery.’

The ensemble was perfectly complemented by Deshmukh’s accessories and beauty choices. ‘We styled her with traditional yellow gold jewelry—a statement choker, stud earrings, and a stack of bangles from Tanishq—to echo the zardozi work on the lehenga. Her hair was styled in a braid decorated with gajra, and her makeup featured defined brown eyes and an old rose pink lipstick over a dewy base,’ the stylists from Who Wore What When concluded."

Keep reading to find out the release date, where to read the chapter, what to expect from the plot, and a quick recap of the previous chapter.

Kagurabachi Chapter 55: Release Date and Where to Read

According to MANGAPlus, Kagurabachi Chapter 55 will be released on Monday, October 28, 2024, at 12 a.m. IST. Due to time zone differences, some international readers may access it as early as October 27, 2024. Keep in mind that release times may vary depending on location and platform upload speed.

You can read the latest chapter on Viz Media’s website, the Shonen Jump+ App, Shueisha's MANGAPlus app, or their official site. While the first and latest three chapters are available for free, a subscription is required to access the rest of the series. Chapter 55 will also appear in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 48.

What to Expect in Kagurabachi Chapter 55

Chapter 55 will likely focus on the battle between Samura and the Hishaku sorcerer at Senkutsuji Temple. With his mastery over tree sorcery, the Hishaku sorcerer can manipulate roots, giving him a potential advantage in the fight.

Though Samura is highly skilled, the tree sorcery might prove difficult to counter, putting him in a dangerous position. The outcome of this confrontation could have a significant impact on the ongoing conflict between the Kamunabi and Hishaku factions.

Kagurabachi Chapter 54 Recap

Chapter 54, titled Friendship, opens with Yura, the leader of Hishaku, reflecting on Kamunabi’s tactics while at a playground. He suspects that Kamunabi is focusing its forces defensively, noting that their acceptance of Chihiro indicates desperation.

Yura is also concerned about the whereabouts of Shiba. During a phone call with another sorcerer, Yura stresses the importance of securing at least one Enchanted Blade to breach Kamunabi’s headquarters in Tokyo. The sorcerer questions the wisdom of assigning such a critical mission to Hiruhiko, given his inexperience, but Yura remains confident in his combat abilities.

Meanwhile, Chihiro recounts how he turned his fight with Hiruhiko to his advantage. Hiruhiko, however, believes they are more similar than Chihiro admits. Chihiro refutes this, emphasizing their differences. Hiruhiko then reveals that the Hishaku are led by Yura and consist of ten elite sorcerers, with 68 members and 34 Datenseki weapons. The chapter ends with the tree-sorcery-wielding Hishaku sorcerer confronting Samura at Senkutsuji Temple.
