5 people who could become the next Federal Reserve chair: Trump administration picks short list to replace Jerome Powell

On October 27, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that President Donald Trump has narrowed down his search to replace Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell, whose term does not end until May 2026.Powell, who has butted heads with Trump over lowering interest rates amid the risk of increasing inflation, has said he will serve out the remainder of his term. After his term ends as chairman, his board term still extends until 2028.Trump is expected to announce a Federal Reserve chair replacement as early as December, according to reports.“We’re down to five,” Bessent told reporters as he was traveling with Trump on Air Force One, according to Yahoo Finance. “We’re going to do a second round and we hope to present a good slate to the president right after Thanksgiving. . . . It will ultimately be his choice.”Bessent said those five picks are: Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, both members of the Federal Reserve’s board of governers; Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council; Kevin Warsh, a former Fed governor; and Rick Rieder, chief investment officer of global fixed income at BlackRock, according to several media outlets per CNBC.Trump’s choice must be confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate. Like Powell, the new Fed chair will be charged with navigating inflation, the country’s weakening labor market, and stagnating growth. Fed members remain divided on whether the Trump administration’s economic policies, including high tariffs and a push for even lower interest rates, are helping or hurting the U.S. economy, CNN noted.Powell first became Fed chair in February 2018 and was reappointed for a second four-year term in May 2022. His term as a member of the Fed’s board of governors ends on January 31, 2028.Last month, he explained the Fed’s dilemma when it comes to cutting or raising interest rates: whether to use it to fight inflation or instead to help offset a struggling job market (while controlling prices and unemployment).“We only have one tool, which is monetary policy—really, interest rates—and [the situation] is calling for different answers,” Powell said. “It’s a very difficult policy environment when your two goals are telling you two different things, you’ve got to make a compromise.”

Why is Hardik Pandya not playing today’s AUS vs IND 2025 T20I? 

Star all-rounder Hardik Pandya will not be seen playing in today's first T20I between Australia and India. The Men in Blue are competing in a five-match series Down Under.Notably, Hardik Pandya suffered a left quadriceps injury during the recently concluded Asia Cup 2025. He picked up the injury in their game against Sri Lanka in Dubai and even missed the final of the multination event.The premier all-rounder is on the path to recovery and will therefore not be in action during the first T20I against Australia. Moreover, he will not feature in the entire five-match series. Hardik was not part of the team for the ODI series either."Hardik won’t be fit for Australia due to the injury he picked up before the Asia Cup final. We’ll know more once he starts rehab at the COE," Chief selector Ajit Agarkar was quoted as saying while naming the squad for the Australia tour. (via Insidesport)India will have to rely on Nitish Kumar Reddy or Shivam Dube to play the role of the medium-pace bowling all-rounder throughout the series in Hardik Pandya's absence. The 32-year-old is likely to return to action during the home series against South Africa beginning late November.When India toured Australia for a T20I series the last time in 2020/21, Hardik played a key role in the team's 2-1 victory.What are Hardik Pandya's numbers in the shorter format?Hardik Pandya has been an integral member of India's white-ball set-up. Being a fast-bowling all-rounder, a rare commodity in the country, he has been vital to the balance of the side.Hardik made his T20I debut in 2016. Interestingly, his maiden appearance in the format came against Australia at Adelaide. He has featured in 120 matches so far. With the bat, he has scored 1860 runs from 94 innings at a strike-rate of 141.01 with five half-centuries. He has bagged 98 wickets from 108 innings at an average of 26.58 and an economy of 8.22.Over the years, he has been a top performer in the IPL as well. He has played 152 games and has scored 2749 runs along with 78 wickets. Hardik's absence could prove to be a huge blow for India in the T20Is against Australia.

Triple H subtly setting up blood feud to correct WWE WrestleMania mistake: Bill Apter (Exclusive)

Ever since taking up the role of WWE's Chief Content Officer, Triple H has mostly delivered with his major storylines. The majority of the fans have been extremely content with Triple H's booking for the most part, but there have been a few misses from the King of Kings.Wrestling veteran Bill Apter claims that The Game is trying to correct one of his major WrestleMania duds, which was the feud between Jimmy and Jey Uso. The Usos competed against one another at WrestleMania XL, but the match didn't live up to the hype, leaving many fans disappointed.Speaking on the latest episode of UnSKripted on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Apter claims that the seeds for the feud will be planted at Saturday Night's Main Event. He feels that Jimmy Uso will somehow cost Jey in his WWE World Heavyweight Championship clash, and the twin brothers will head into a rivalry from there on."Jimmy Uso is gonna cost Jey the title. He's gonna either interfere or distract him or something, and Punk's gonna win, and that's gonna start the next feud with Jimmy and Jey, which never really worked anyway, but they're gonna try it again," Apter said.Jey Uso is set to challenge CM Punk for the vacant WWE World Heavyweight Championship at SNME. The two wrestlers are looking to regain the title they lost earlier in the year. Both of them won their respective championships by beating Gunther, but didn't have the best time with the title.Jey defeated the Ring General at WWE WrestleMania 41 but lost the title unceremoniously to Gunther just 51 days later. Punk had an even worse time with the belt as he remained champion for just five minutes after defeating Gunther at SummerSlam, as Seth Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Punk.Please credit Sportskeeda Wrestling and embed the YouTube video if you use quotes from this article.

Taylor Swift has released a new acoustic version of her track The Fate of Ophelia titled “Alone In My Tower (Acoustic Version)”, now available on iTunes.The song is part of the growing Life of a Showgirl project that Swift has continued to expand since its release earlier this year. The stripped-down recording offers a new take on one of her recent chart-topping singles, which has remained in heavy competition with Golden from KPop Demon Hunters for the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100.Social media users have reacted to this latest drop saying that Swift released this track to stay on top of the charts, with some even fans saying it was because "She saw Golden was coming back for number 1."WhitWhot Woody (They/Them) @DorkyB00LINKLook I’m a swiftie and love the song and album but this is hilarious.

Chart host Tetris Kelly described the current rankings as “a Taylor Swift-filled chart,” with The Fate of Ophelia still maintaining its dominance. Billboard’s analysts also noted that the success of the track has been buoyed by its connection to Swift’s Life of a Showgirl album cycle and the accompanying film. The music video for The Fate of Ophelia, featured in movie theaters and released on YouTube earlier this month, contributed to the renewed fan interest ahead of the acoustic version’s release. With multiple acoustic editions now available digitally, Taylor Swift appears to be capitalizing on both physical and digital platforms to extend the song’s chart lifespan as competition intensifies heading into November 2025.Taylor Swift dropped re-recorded acoustic versions earlier in October 2025Earlier this month, Taylor Swift announced that she had re-recorded eight acoustic versions of songs from her latest album The Life of a Showgirl with longtime collaborators Max Martin and Shellback as reported by Variety, October 4, 2025.Taylor reportedly described the project as a way to capture the “acoustic surprises” that became fan favorites during her tour. In the social media post announcing the drop, she said"I went back into the studio with Max and Shellback to record acoustic/unplugged versions of a few of the ‘Showgirl’ songs with brand new vocals and production! Cannot WAIT for you to hear."The new release, The Fate of Ophelia (Alone In My Tower Acoustic Version), originally appeared as one of two bonus tracks on the limited-edition CD titled “lone In My Tower Acoustic Version.

India vs Australia Match Prediction: Who will win today's AUS vs IND 2025 1st T20I match?

A five-match T20I series isn't very rare these days in international cricket, but it still brings with it a sense of surprise and intrigue. India and Australia, who are two of the best sides in the format, will already have an eye on the 2026 T20 World Cup and will view this assignment as a dress reherseal of sorts.The Men in Blue have been one of the teams to watch out for in T20Is. They have been on a rip-roaring run of bilateral form and recently clinched the 2025 Asia Cup in comfortable fashion. The defending champions of the T20 World Cup have played well lately, but they likely haven't played a force as dominant as the Aussies.Australia have revamped their T20I approach and now look to hit nearly every ball out of the park. Although they won't be full strength for the opening encounter of the series, they will have enough firepower and bowling might to ask serious questions of the Indians.India’s T20I squad for the Australia tour: Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill (vice-captain), Tilak Varma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Sanju Samson (wk), Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar.Australia's T20I squad for the India series: Mitchell Marsh (c), Sean Abbott (games 1-3), Xavier Bartlett, Mahli Beardman (games 3-5), Tim David, Ben Dwarshuis (games 4-5), Nathan Ellis, Josh Hazlewood (games 1-2), Ben McDermott (standby player), Glenn Maxwell (games 3-5), Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Matthew Kuhnemann, Mitchell Owen, Josh Philippe, Tanveer Sangha, Matthew Short, Marcus Stoinis.AUS vs IND 2025: T20 World Cup auditions commence in CanberraAustralia v India - ODI Series: Game 2 - Source: GettyIt's hard to say whether India will be able to adjust to the conditions in Australia. Their batting lineup was heavily reliant on Abhishek Sharma during the Asia Cup, and with the extra bounce expected in Canberra, the Indian opener might not be at home.There are concerns over the form of Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson, while Shivam Dube and Tilak Varma weren't at their best until the final of the Asia Cup. Moreover, can India put together a solid bowling attack without compromising on batting depth? The answer is likely no.Australia will be without Matt Short and Glenn Maxwell during the opening T20I, but that shouldn't bother them too much. Their only challenge should be Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakaravarthy, with Kuldeep Yadav expected to be benched at the Manuka Oval.If the Aussies can counter those eight overs without losing too many wickets, they should be able to make a winning start to the series.Prediction: Australia to win the 1st T20I vs India.

Triple H may have mistakenly leaked the winner of Jey Uso vs CM Punk at WWE SNME

Jey Uso and CM Punk are all set to compete for the vacant WWE World Heavyweight Championship at the upcoming Saturday Night's Main Event XLI this weekend. Both the challengers are riding a massive wave of success on the red brand, and picking one clear winner is tough to predict. Interestingly, WWE CCO Triple H may have mistakenly leaked the winner of the title bout.World Wrestling Entertainment was hyping an announcement with multiple mystery vignettes via their social media platforms. A few hours ago, WWE posted a promotional video for WrestleMania 42 on their official X (fka Twitter) account and a poster featuring Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Triple H, CM Punk, and Paul Heyman.The Game was teasing a major announcementIn a shocking twist, with their WrestleMania posts, The Game may have leaked the result for the World Heavyweight Title bout between Jey Uso and CM Punk.The Best in the World was featured on the table alongside the Undisputed WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes, and two icons, Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, which strongly suggests that he might have a special role at the upcoming edition of The Show of Shows.WWE dropped a hint about the winner of the vacant title boutGiven the nature of his full-time schedule, Punk can't be counted on with Roman or Brock as part-time spectacles, which clearly hints that he could be the next World Heavyweight Champion.The new poster seemingly features two major titleholders and two icons. Thus, it indicates the Voice of the Voiceless could end up winning the title at SNME.However, the angle proposed above is speculative, and nothing has been confirmed as of now.Punk had captured the title earlier this yearSince returning to the sports entertainment juggernaut, the Best in the World has been on top, proving to everyone why he belongs at the level he is at. The former AEW star has been gunning for a title for a long time now.He even managed to win the World Heavyweight Championship at the SummerSlam 2025 Premium Live Event, defeating Gunther after a grueling battle. But he lost his strap in under five minutes after Seth Rollins pulled "Ruse of the Century," and cashed in his Money in the Bank contract, and became the new champion.

4 Mistakes Triple H has already made with Cody Rhodes’ second WWE Title reign

Cody Rhodes reclaimed the Undisputed WWE Championship by defeating John Cena at SummerSlam 2025, embarking on his second reign. However, The American Nightmare's second run with the title hasn't been as strong as his first. WWE's Chief Content Officer, Triple H, hasn't positioned Rhodes as dominantly as he was after beating Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. And in this listicle, we will look at four mistakes The Game has already made with him.4. His win over John Cena was overshadowed by Brock’s returnCena and Rhodes' bout at WrestleMania 41 was panned heavily by fans and critics alike for its slow pacing, as well as Travis Scott's interference towards the end. The two made up for their match at the Show of Shows this year by giving fans one of the best matches of the year at SummerSlam 2025. Rhodes reclaimed the title after an incredible bout, but Brock Lesnar's return to WWE overshadowed his victory. Fans were left talking about The Beast and Cena after the show, rather than his title win.3. His feud with Drew McIntyre hasn’t felt bigOver the past few months, Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre have been feuding over the Undisputed WWE Championship. The two battled for the title at Wrestlepalooza, but Rhodes retained the title at the premium live event. Despite McIntyre being a strong contender to take the title off Rhodes, their feud just hasn't felt big. There is no dearth of star power between the two, but their rivalry just hasn't been able to get fans hooked as deeply as expected. There seems to be no possibility of a title change, which is something that is surely affecting fans' investment in their storyline.2. Randy Orton not pulling the trigger on a heel turnFans have spotted Randy Orton eyeing Cody Rhodes' Undisputed WWE Championship several times. There have been signs that Orton could feud with his friend for the title, but the company hasn't pulled the trigger on it yet. Delaying The Viper's heel turn for so long has seemingly killed the momentum of Rhodes' title reign. A deeply personal feud with his mentor would have been enough to drive his second WWE Title reign through to WrestleMania 42. However, it has started to feel stale with the absence of an intense rivalry, particularly with Orton, since fans have been eagerly waiting for the two to feud for a long time.1. Cody Rhodes is approaching only his second defence in 3 monthsThe American Nightmare will defend his title against Drew McIntyre once again at Saturday Night's Main Event, in what will be just his second defense since reclaiming the gold. Rhodes' storyline with McIntyre was briefly interrupted by his Crown Jewel Championship program with Seth Rollins, further derailing his momentum as the WWE Champion. With only his second title defense in three months, Rhodes' title run doesn't seem as strong, since he is expected to be a defending champion. Perhaps a title change could be what WWE needs to reset things and give Cody Rhodes a new challenge.
