For a long time, it appeared that the relationship between wrestling legend Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Vin Diesel was fractured beyond repair, no matter how many olive branches Diesel extended for Johnson to return to the “Fast” franchise. But time heals all wounds, and Johnson confirmed the current worst-kept secret in Hollywood.

“Luke Hobbs will be returning to the Fast & Furious franchise,” Johnson said. “Your reactions around the world to Hobbs’ return in Fast X have blown us away. The next Fast & Furious film you’ll see the legendary lawman in will be the HOBBS movie that will serve as a fresh, new chapter & set up for FASTX: Part II.” 

The former WWE Champion noted the relationship between him and Diesel had been repaired last summer, allowing for Johnson to return to his role of Luke Hobbs in a post-credits scene for “Fast X.” It was Johnson’s first appearance in the role since spinoff “Hobbs and Shaw” released in 2019; he had previously starred in “Fast Five,” “Fast & Furious 6,” “Furious 7,” and “The Fate of the Furious.” 

Though they shared no scenes, Johnson’s “Fast X” appearance also reunited him with John Cena, who he famously wrestled at WrestleMania 28 and WrestleMania 29, respectively.

Justin Verlander earned his 250th career victory as the New York Mets beat the Washington Nationals 5-2 on Sunday after trading Max Scherzer to Texas.

Francisco Lindor homered and had three hits for the fourth-place Mets (50-55), who took three of four from last-place Washington. Pete Alonso drove in two runs.

Verlander (6-5) allowed one run in 6 innings to become the 49th major league pitcher to reach 250 wins.

Alonso had an RBI single and lifted one of New York’s two sacrifice flies in a three-run third against former teammate Trevor Williams (5-6).

Lindor homered in consecutive games for the fourth time this year. He reached base four times. Jeff McNeil hit a go-ahead triple and Omar Narváez also had a sacrifice fly in the third.

Making his 498th career start, Verlander gave up five hits in his third straight win. He walked off the mound to a nice ovation and tipped his cap to the crowd of 33,861 before accepting handshakes from teammates in the dugout.

Baskin-Robbins offers its own unique twist on an iconic brunch duo with the introduction of new Chick’n & Waffles Ice Cream.

Making its debut as the Flavor of the Month, new Chick’n & Waffles Ice Cream features buttermilk waffle flavored ice cream with crispy chick’n and waffle flavored bites drizzled in a bourbon maple syrup flavored swirl.

Inspired by classic Chicken and Waffles, this unique ice cream has been crafted to mimic the taste of fried chicken, without actually containing any real chicken.

Lionel Messi arrived at Inter Miami with the promise of big moments. He produced a magical one for his debut Friday night.

Messi’s dazzling last-ditch, free-kick goal provided a dramatic winner, giving Inter Miami a 2-1 Leagues Cup victory over Mexican league side Cruz Azul.

And his winner inspired an immortal moment when, after he was mobbed by teammates, Messi exhorted the sellout crowd at DRV PNK Stadium into a frenzy, and ran over to his family in the stands for an emotional embrace.

“What I saw was the goal. I saw the goal, I knew that I had to score,” Messi said. “It was the last play of the game and I wanted to score so we didn’t go to penalties. So it was very important for us to get this win. Because it’s a new tournament, this is going to give us confidence moving forward.”

That, in short, is exactly what MLS had in mind in bringing in Messi.

Clarke Schmidt made a mistake, and a familiar, dejected murmur spread through the ballpark. Schmidt had served up a three-run home run that put the Yankees in a two-run hole in the top of the fourth inning.

But as the Yankees try to launch a comeback in their season, Billy McKinney led a comeback Friday night.

McKinney responded with a three-run homer of his own in the bottom of the fourth, and both his bat and glove starred in a 5-4, series-opening win over the Royals in front of a sellout crowd of 46,242 in The Bronx.

The outfielder, who had been slumping, made two remarkable catches  and hit his first homer in 15 games, giving the Yankees a lead they held, if narrowly.

“Billy with the big swing I think was settling for us,” manager Aaron Boone said after the Yankees scored all their runs on three homers, following a disastrous three-game sweep in Anaheim earlier in the week in which they scored seven runs total.

The Yankees (51-47) snapped a four-game losing streak and awoke from a nightmarish, 1-5 road trip.
