Published

on

Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar entered their WrestleMania 42 match on Sunday night in what was poised to be a true “showcase of the immortals,” even as the former was making his debut at the event.

Femi answered Lesnar’s open challenge to face him in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium a few weeks ago. Since then, the two have had multiple heated skirmishes to build up what pro wrestling fans expected to be an absolute slobber knocker.

“Oba” chants filled the air as “The Ruler” made his way down to the ring. Fans haven’t seen a specimen like him since Lesnar made his WWE debut in 2002. Lesnar received a big cheer from the crowd as well as he was making his first WrestleMania appearance since WrestleMania 39 where he dispatched Omos.

“The Beast Incarnate” locked eyes with Femi as he entered the ring and didn’t take them off him.

The two started out locking horns, trying to see who can get the advantage first. It was Femi as he clotheslined Lesnar and forced him outside of the ring to regroup.

Lesnar eventually pulled Femi outside of the ring and did some damage to his back. Lesnar got Femi back into the ring and hit him with three German suplexes. Lesnar appeared to have the upper hand.

As Femi looked to gain some momentum in the match, his running uppercuts turned into an F5 from Lesnar. But Lesnar didn’t cover. Instead, Femi was able to get back up and chokeslam Lesnar.

The move appeared to have startled Lesnar just enough. Femi then hit the Fall from Grace and pinned Lesnar for the unbelievable win.

Lesnar was still in the ring and Femi got the applause.

He got back into a sitting position and took off his gloves and boots, signaling that he was retiring from professional wrestling.

“Thank you, Brock!” chants were heard throughout the arena.

Lesnar was in tears as he hugged Paul Heyman, waving to the fans who packed the house.

If it is Lesnar’s final match in WWE, he will retire as a 10-time WWE champion and a two-time Royal Rumble winner. More importantly, he helped establish Femi as one of the top stars in the company.

Chicago Public Schools declare May 1 a ‘day of civil action’ for students

Published

on

Chicago Public Schools (CPS) and the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) will consider May 1 a “day of civil action” for students despite classes still being in session.

The CTU pushed a resolution last month to designate May 1, otherwise known as May Day or International Workers’ Day, as the day of “Civic Action and Defense of Public Education” and a day off for teachers and students.

“If we still want to have democracy in the midterms this November, public schools that provide our students with quality education, and unions to defend workers’ rights, then it is up to every Chicagoan to stand up for what we believe in and show the authoritarian billionaire in Washington that when he breaks every rule, we will not go along with business as usual,” CTU Vice President Jackson Potter said in a statement at the time.

In a statement on Friday, CPS confirmed that May 1 would still be considered a full instructional day with students and staff still expected to attend.

However, CPS added that schools can allow “optional participation” in “civil engagement events” for students who wish to attend protests or take part in civil activities during the school day under state laws.

“Principals may exercise their existing authority to provide students the opportunity to participate in events and field trips, including civic engagement activities on May 1 during the school day. Schools wishing to participate must follow the existing CPS student travel policy and normal field trip procedures,” the CPS statement read.

According to CPS, students between grades six and 12 are allowed one excused absence per school year to attend a civic engagement event so long as they obtain parental permission and that the event is “open to the public and sponsored by a nonprofit organization or a government agency.”

“This agreement preserves the classroom time students deserve and respects our staff and families who must be able to trust CPS to uphold the academic school year calendar,” CEO/Superintendent Dr. Macquline King said in a statement. “At the same time, the agreement honors the proud history of civic action in Chicago and beyond.”

CPS confirmed that future May Days could be considered professional development days, starting in 2028.

Fox News Digital reached out to CPS and the CTU for comment.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson released a statement on Friday celebrating the announcement as a way to honor the history of May Day.

“Encouraging participation allows Chicagoans to honor our history while advocating for our future. We look forward to a day of meaningful solidarity and community resistance to the forces trying to tear us apart,” Johnson said. 

He continued, “The history of May Day in America is rooted in Chicago. It was in our city that workers organized around the simple demand of an eight-hour workday and raised the consciousness of a gilded nation through the Haymarket Strike. We continue to work with all City Agencies and Departments to ensure a safe and impactful May Day.”
