Here’s Who Ronda Rousey Might Face at WrestleMania 34

After making her big "point at the sign" debut last month at the Royal Rumble, "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey is ready to grace us with her mainstream media mug at Elimination Chamber, where it was announced she'll be signing her official contract. Mostly likely, during this in-ring segment, the seeds will be planted for her WrestleMania 34 match - which we're assuming will be her first actual broadcasted match within the company.

Kingdom Hearts 3 Monsters, Inc. Trailer: Theories and Gameplay Details You May Have Missed

Square Enix released not one but two new Kingdom Hearts III trailers at D23 Expo 2018, introducing the new Monsters, Inc. world. These trailers are also packed to the brim with new gameplay and story details that are worth exploring, so let’s dive into the heart of these new glimpses both below, and in the video above.

The main D23 2018 trailer kicks off with the surprising re-introduction of Marluxia, who was leading the charge at Castle Oblivion for Organization XIII.

How Do You Solve a Problem Like Killer Frost?

One of the bright spots in The Flash Season 3 was the emergence of Caitlin Snow’s alter ego Killer Frost. Although much of the season’s arc – which involved a villainous speedster from the future named Savitar – often felt overly dark and repetitive, Caitlin’s struggle with her metahuman abilities was both interesting and necessary. Her transformation into Killer Frost not only forced her to wrestle with her inner darkness head on, but it reshuffled many of the longstanding relationships amongst the show’s core team. Over the course of the season Caitlin kept secrets, lied, and underwent a transformation that caused her to abandon her friends and join forces with Savitar.

Killer Frost ultimately couldn’t bring herself to harm her former friends, leading to an interesting and open-ended finale in which it seemed as though the woman who was once Caitlin Snow had evolved into someone new. Her decision to reject Julian’s proposed metahuman cure was not only a deliberate choice, but one which felt completely organic for her character. After everything that happened, this person wasn’t Caitlin Snow anymore, but she wasn’t Killer Frost either. The prospect of discovering that character – and of finally giving original Flash team member Caitlin a story that focused on her own agency and development – felt like a welcome progression.
