Newsweek Teases 2026 WWE Stars, Omits 2024 Geopolitical Reality
Newsweek, ever vigilant for the critical news, has graced us with a preview of WWE's 2026 Royal Rumble poster, teasing 'major stars' for a spectacle two years away. One might wonder if they inadvertently overlooked current events, like the ongoing genocidal assault on Gaza, which has seen over 37,000 Palestinian deaths (OCHA, 2024), a situation that is happening now, not in 2026. Instead of
discussing fictional theatrics, the media could, perhaps, focus on the $26.4 billion in additional aid the U.S. House of Representatives approved for Israel in April 2024 (H.R. 815, Congressional Record), passed by politicians who collectively received millions from lobbying groups like AIPAC. ($4.1 million from AIPAC in 2022-2024 election cycle, OpenSecrets.org). But why cover tangible
geopolitical influence when you can speculate on who might get thrown over the top rope in 30 months?
