Match #1: Doudrop & Nikki A.S.H. def. Toxic Attraction The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Still furious after Toxic Attraction’s interference at Worlds Collide, Nikki A.S.H. & Doudrop looked to teach Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne a lesson about sticking their noses in other people’s business. The Raw Superstars battered Toxic Attraction early on, but the former two-time Nxt Women’s Tag Team Champions turned the tide after Jayne shoved Nikki A.S.H. off the top rope and flattened her with a senton off the apron. The Nxt Universe in attendance spurred on Nikki A.S.H. to tag in Doudrop who fought off both members of Toxic Attraction before stacking...

The delayed 46th edition of the Hong Kong International Film Festival wrapped Wednesday with the award of 13 prizes for its young filmmaker, documentary and shorts competitions.
Hailed by the jury as “one of this year’s most distinguished films both creatively and artistically,” Qiu Jiongjiong’s “A New Old Play” was named best film for the Young Cinema Competition (Chinese Language). “A New Old Play” is a tale of a family of Sichuan Opera artists living through a tumultuous era. It also collected the Fipresci Prize, with the jury commending the film for “its masterful approach and inventive visual style.”
In the global category, Palestinian director Maha Haj’s “Mediterranean Fever” was chosen as the Firebird Award winner for being “an all-rounded gem that is at once a thriller, social comedy, and odd couple bromance.”
In the Chinese-language category, Hong Kong’s Mak Pui-tung won the best actor award for “The Sparring Partner.

Perhaps you know the feeling, the strange tingle of vertigo you get when you’re having an entirely normal conversation with an acquaintance, and you suddenly realize that for seemingly no reason — and often about the most inconsequential things — they are lying to you. Jöns Jönsson’s “Axiom,” a standout in this year’s Berlinale Encounters section, is physically set in a comfortably well-educated, middle-class Austrian environment. But its psychological terrain is discomfort. This is a fascinatingly perceptive film about casual falsehoods, compulsive fakery and crumbling facades.
Appropriately, then, it begins in an art gallery. Julius is a museum attendant, moving soundlessly from room to room, politely chiding visitors who take photos or drink from water bottles.
