During WrestleMania 39, Shane McMahon reportedly suffered a torn quad early on in his match against The Miz.

The BAYC NFT #6723, “Dr. Bombay,” is the basis for the Death Row NFT clothing line. Snoop Dogg bought Death Row Records in February 2022 and declared he would turn it into an NFT label.
Dogg’s Dr. Bombay attire grabbed eyeballs earlier when US food start-up “Food Fighters Universe” revealed plans to open an NFT-themed restaurant based on the rapper’s Dr. Bombay Bored Ape Yacht Club digital collection.
However, in December 2022, Yuga Labs Inc. was hit with a class action lawsuit. The lawsuit against the creator of the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT collection was filed in the United States Central District Court of California, Western Division. The lawsuit targeted several celebrities, including Snoop Dogg, for hyping the NFT’s value. Dozen other celebrities, including Justin Bieber and Madonna, were part of the lawsuit.
The legal action was brought on behalf of investors who alleged that the dozen celebrity defendants disregarded U.S. SEC rules regarding investment endorsements. In February, in a separate court case involving trademark infringement, Yuga Labs stuck a settlement with Thomas Lehman, a Ryder Ripps developer.
