John Cena has yet to win one prestigious title in the WWE, the Intercontinental Championship. And since he missed out on this recognition, he is one of the few WWE longtimers to not have a Grand Slam in his career. After winning his record 17th Championship title at WrestleMania 41 this year, Cena would love to add a Grand Slam title to the mix as well.

In WWE, the Grand Slam Championship is an honor bestowed upon wrestlers who have won at least four certain titles in their career. Interestingly, a wrestler must have achieved the Triple Crown Championship by winning three titles to achieve the Grand Slam with the fourth one. However, only winning the WWE Championship would earn you the Triple Crown title.

So, what does he need to become a Grand Slam Champion? According to the modern rules, a WWE wrestler should have held the following titles to...

Welcome to our review of this past Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, right here on Nerdly! Let’s see what went down on this week’s show…

Match #1: Sheamus vs. Rusev (Double Count-out) The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Sheamus and Rusev continued their epic rivalry, trading haymakers and brutality as Sheamus hit an enormous White Noise from the top rope. The Celtic Warrior slammed Rusev on the table, but The Bulgarian Brute threw Sheamus into the ring steps. Rusev mocked Sheamus, delivering his own version of The Beats of the Bodhran outside the ring. Sheamus pummeled Rusev with the classic 10 Beats of the Bodhran. After the two sets of the Beats of the Bodhran, Rusev and Sheamus were counted out. After the match, Sheamus and Rusev kept brawling, despite officials trying to separate them.

My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: Penta def. Grayson Waller The following is courtesy of wwe.

After a chaotic, story-heavy Night 1, WWE returned to MetLife Stadium for the second half of its ambitious two-night SummerSlam event. Night 2 focused more on emotional storytelling and satisfying conclusions, though, true to WWE form, it still delivered one last gut-punch surprise before the lights went out.

Things kicked off with a fast-paced Triple Threat for the Women’s World Championship, with Naomi, Rhea Ripley, and Iyo Sky putting on one of the better opening matches of the year. Naomi retained her title with a clever roll-up after Ripley nailed Sky with a massive avalanche Riptide. It was quick, chaotic, and crisp. After the bell, Ripley’s gesture of lifting an injured Sky onto her back earned her huge cheers, an unexpected emotional beat that set the tone for the rest of the night.

Next up, Becky Lynch defended her Women’s Intercontinental Title in a brutal no-disqualification match against Lyra Valkyria.

Penta continues to grow in popularity among WWE fans, and with every succeeding day, the roar for the Lucha icon keeps growing. On the latest episode of WWE Raw, he pulled off a unique move that bridged the gap between the wrestling universe and gaming fans.

Pentagon Jr, popularly known as Penta, confronted the New Day on the latest screening of Raw. After what was a heated exchange, he pulled off the iconic Manji Spin performed by one of Tekken’s most popular characters, Yoshimitsu, sending New Day scurrying for their dear life.

In what was quite a prolonged segment, Penta was given a match with Grayson Waller after the latter was interested in getting a title fight for the New Day. However, much to his disappointment, he could only earn himself a fight...

The first Monday Night Raw after the epic two-night event, SummerSlam, at the MetLife Stadium. From Naomi successfully retaining her Women’s World Championship to Seth Rollins crashing Cm Punk’s greatest moment with his injury ruse, the aftermath of the PPV has far-reaching effects.

Tonight, the first segment of Raw live from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, addresses all the doubts that fans had accumulated over the weekend. This piece contains the highlights for August 5, 2025, so let’s get straight to action.

Tonight’s Monday Night Raw was kicked off by the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins, and his associates, making their way proudly to the ring as they were involved in The Heist of the Century 2.0. The crowd was not thrilled to see them, and the live crowd booed them.

Paul Heyman claimed to be...

In the final episode of Raw before SummerSlam, there was plenty of good old fashioned in-ring wrestling along with some eye-opening and jaw-dropping moments, from Dominik Mysterio receiving a Nintendo Switch 2 from Roxanne Perez to Roman Reigns getting speared by Bron Breakker, then having his shoes stolen right off his feet by Bronson Reed — an act of disrespect that added to tension ahead of SummerSlam, where Reed teamed with Breakker in a clash against Reigns and Jey Uso.

With SummerSlam 2025 in the books, revisit everything that happened over the epic weekend and prepare for the fallout on tonight’s episode of Raw.

The recent edition of Friday Night SmackDown was consequential. Several major developments took place at the blue roster right before WWE SummerSlam 2025, which established the undertone for the high-stakes event. However, some epic scenes continued to feature even after the show went off-air. These included the WWE universe hooked onto the ‘voices in the head’ of Randy Orton and the return of an epic tag team.

These shocking turns of events after the show went off-air solidify the fact that WWE is much more than what happens on the screen. The developments inside the squared circle after the camera went off were simply breathtaking. We provide you with insights into these segments. A true WWE fan is bound to savor them forever.

Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio’s onscreen act has played wonders for their WWE careers, where both wrestlers have grown to be absolute fan favorites. However, for Cm Punk, it was quite hard to believe that WWE really pitched such a storyline, where a woman like Ripley was with Dirty Dom.

Punk and Ripley both appeared as guests on E-Man’s Movie Reviews podcast to promote WWE: Unreal, The Best in the World, shared how nobody is going to believe that the Eradicator is in a relationship with Dom, and mocked the pitch. He said,

One time, they wanted her to be in a relationship with Dominic Mysterio. Who’s going to believe that? Who’s going to believe that? Hey everybody, here’s a Greek goddess, and she’s with this f**king nerd. Like, come on. Come on. That’s exposing that exposes the business more than anything...

The go-home episode of Monday Night Raw before the first-ever two-night SummerSlam 2025 has finally reached its climax, and it ended emphatically in Detroit, Michigan. The show was expected to deliver a major build-up before the high-stakes Ple event, and it did so.

With the conclusion of this Monday Night Raw, the battle lines are now drawn for major matches between WWE superstars at SummerSlam. Only time will tell whether something unconventional occurs at the Ple event, or the superstars sitting at the top outshine the underdogs.

In light of this remarkable episode of the red roster, here are the major developments from the night at Detroit, Michigan.

Last week’s episode of Rawhad all the glorious action you could ask for — from Aj Styles pretending to be a janitor to Iyo Sky and Stephanie Vaquer putting on a banger of a match. Sheamus summed the night up best when he leapt from the top rope and landed a big blow on Rusev, asking the crowd, “Are you not entertained?”

The evening also added to the anticipation for the slate of contests at the upcoming SummerSlam event, as Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria’s Women’s Intercontinental Championship clash will now be No Disqualifaction Match and Aj Styles vs. Dominik Mysterio for the Men’s Intercontinental Championship was made official.

So, what can be expected this week? Scroll on for all the crucial details regarding this week’s episode of Raw.

The July 28 episode of Raw takes place at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan.

(As of July...

SummerSlam 2025 is here, and fans are more than excited about it. The event will take place in MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey. The event will be telecast on websites like Peacock and Netflix around the world. There are some absolutely delicious fights lined up for us in the event, and we can’t thank Triple H enough for this lineup. John Cena’s going head-to-head with Cody Rhodes, and Cody’s hungry for payback against the 17-time champ. Cm Punk’s getting into the ring against Gunther, and it’s gonna be an all-out brawl for that World Heavyweight Title.

Triple H is also cooking up something big over in the Women’s division with some exciting matchups. Tiffany Stratton’s getting ready to face Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Championship. Jade earned her shot at the title after becoming the Queen of the Ring. And over...

Welcome to our review of this past Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, right here on Nerdly! Let’s see what went down on this week’s show…

Match #1: Sheamus def. Rusev The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Sheamus and Rusev collided in another epic battle. Sheamus connected with a huge clothesline from the top of the ropes onto Rusev on the outside, but Rusev hit The Celtic Warrior with a fallaway slam onto the announce table. The Celtic Warrior executed 10 Beats of the Bodhran before dialing up the Brogue Kick, but The Bulgarian Brute evaded it and hit a bruising powerbomb. Rusev tried to nail a Machka Kick, but Sheamus landed a high knee strike to leave both down. Rusev hit a huge kick before cinching in the Accolade, but Sheamus forced the break. Rusev exposed the turnbuckle, but it backfired as Sheamus sent Rusev face-first into the exposed steel.

The new regime of WWE, led by Nick Khan and Triple H under the Tko banner, has touched unprecedented heights of success. One of the masterstrokes pulled by the company was the acquisition of the Lucha Libre promotion Aaa. The deal was announced during the WrestleMania 41 festivities and gained major praise from fans.

Since then, the two promotions have produced some events in collaboration, and the fans have seen crossovers between the two brands. They will see it once again, as the Aaa promotion announced via their Instagram that the main roster, Natalya, and Nxt star Lola Vice will be competing at their upcoming event.

The WWE Universe was not ready in 2023, as they witnessed the much-anticipated return of Cm Punk at Survivor Series: WarGames. His return marked one of the loudest pops in recent times. Despite leaving the company in a storm of controversy, he returned a hero’s exit, looking better than ever!

Recently, talking to SPORTBible, the Second City Saint recalled how his return ruined Randy Orton’s return, who was out for quite some time with a back injury. Following his return, he was going to cut a promo, but Randy Orton was having his sweet time inside the ring against Dominik Mysterio, leaving him little room for his promo.

This left him utterly tense, where he was “running around” with a script of what he was going to address to the fans. However, Triple H was not thrilled to see this and reminded him who he was. Punk said,

Triple H gets up,...

Aj Styles has long set his sights on unseating Dominik Mysterio and taking his WWE Intercontinental Championship. However, Mysterio’s not being medically cleared has helped him evade The Phenomenal One for a while. It even led to their scheduled title match at Night of Champions Ple getting cancelled.

Since then, The Phenomenal One has adopted a new series of tactics to get into the mind of Dirty Dom. Aj Styles pulled off yet another exciting stunt on the July 21st edition of Monday Night Raw which caught the champion off guard and made him felt harassed.

Stephanie McMahon is basically WWE royalty; she’s been around the business since she was a kid and knows it inside out. Over the years, she’s played a massive role in shaping the company, especially when it comes to pushing the women’s division forward and giving women’s wrestling the spotlight it deserves.

Lately, though, Steph’s stepped out of the limelight and taken on more of a behind-the-scenes role. But she hasn’t exactly disappeared; she launched a podcast called What’s Your Story? with Steph McMahon, where she chats with big names in the wrestling world. Guests so far include legends like Randy Orton, WWE CEO Nick Khan, and rising stars like Dominik Mysterio.

There are plenty more wrestlers we’re hoping to see on future episodes, and honestly, hearing their personal journeys straight from them? That’s the kind of insight fans live for.

5. Rhea Ripley...

WWE Raw just wrapped up, and wow, there’s a lot to unpack. If you’ve been following Triple H’s playbook lately, you already know he loves throwing in major twists after big events. And with Saturday Night’s Main Event and Evolution 2 shaking things up, it was clear something big was coming.

Raw kicked off what’s sure to be an electric build to SummerSlam, and you could tell WWE’s already connecting the dots between all the feuds and stories that exploded over the weekend.

Naomi stole the spotlight by cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase during the Evolution main event between Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley. That bold move crowned her the new Women’s World Champion, but obviously, it didn’t sit well with the other two. Naomi came out to celebrate on Raw, only for Iyo Sky and Rhea to crash the...

The Rookie star Nathan Fillion might have had a few roles in the MCU, but it’s his co-star, Shawn Ashmore, who definitely deserves a spot among the returning X-Men stars in Marvel’s highly anticipated movie, Avengers: Doomsday.

Doomsday, the fifth Avengers installment, is set to mark the return of several fan favorites not only from the MCU but also from Fox’s X-Men universe. Marvel has already confirmed the returning star cast that includes Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and Kelsey Grammer, along with several others. Among all these returning members, Ashmore, who played Iceman in the original X-Men movies, certainly deserves a spot for himself as well.

Shawn Ashmore has become known for his recent ventures into television, especially for playing attorney Wesley Evers in one of the best shows, The Rookie.

Dominik Mysterio is quickly rising through the ranks and looks like he could be WWE’s next big superstar. He’s got the look, the vibe, and serious in-ring charisma that turns heads. But one thing he’s missing is a solid bond with his dad, Rey Mysterio.

Their relationship’s been rocky for a while, and Dominik’s even accused Rey of a few things over the years, like pocketing the money from his SummerSlam 2005 appearance. Recently, though, Rey finally addressed those claims and shared his side of what really went down with that cash.

In the world of pro-wrestling, looks play an instrumental role, as they are a crucial part of storytelling. Thereby, glimpses from pop culture are frequent as fans can relate to it all. In what was a crazy attempt by WWE, Seth Rollins tried to play Joker for a small point in time. However, somehow that gimmick was soon changed. According to modern pop culture trends, Sabrina Carpenter has been a significant influence.

Apart from her brilliant music, Carpenter has captured the essence of the world with the way she presents herself on the stage. With the meteoric popularity that she has garnered over the years, now fans want to emulate her appearance, which includes not just the run-of-the-mill audience but WWE stars as well. In one such post, a fan tried to draw similarities between Sabrina Carpenter and the fellow WWE wrestlers who can come close.

Four WWE wrestlers who...

There are several WWE superstars who have featured in superhero movies. Be it Triple H’s appearance in Blade: Trinity, or Dave Bautista’s appearance as Drax the Destroyer in Guardians of the Galaxy. All of these WWE superstars have worked in Marvel movies and are big Marvel enthusiasts. Now, there is a new addition to that list as Dominik Mysterio goes public with his love for the Marvel universe.

However, there is more to his admiration. He has also made his wife a Marvel fan, revealing how Dirty Dom introduced the world of the MCU to his better half. His love for the Marvel Universe has emerged as a talking point amongst WWE fans, and the passion runs through the family!.

Dominik Mysterio, during an interview...

Think about one of the most steadfast wrestlers in the WWE, and Rey Mysterio’s face pops up. Over the years, he has been a dedicated professional who has consistently upheld his principles, passing down those same core values: hard work, dedication, and honesty to his son. Emphatically, Dominik Mysterio’s rise to fame stands as a testament to that foundation.

But while Dominik is now a popular figure himself in the WWE, Rey’s daughter Aalyah Mysterio remains a mystery. Fans have kept wondering over the years about her whereabouts, particularly after her appearance on the scene in 2020, and if and when they can witness her entry into the WWE.

Liv Morgan was riding the wave of tremendous momentum as a top WWE superstar on their flagship show, Monday Night Raw. She had been a top draw for the programming since the middle of last year and featured in multiple prominent storylines alongside Dominik Mysterio and The Judgment Day.

Amidst her ongoing rise as a major attraction, Liv Morgan suffered a major setback. She injured her shoulder during a match with Kairi Sane on Raw. The Pirate Princess had been a first-hand witness to unfortunate situations recently, and her message following Morgan’s injury makes us feel sad for the Raw superstar.

Liv Morgan has become a sensational figure in the WWE. She is agile, steadfast, and energetic. So when she was on the receiving end of a major injury during the previous edition of Monday Night Raw, the fans were immensely concerned about the status of her physical setback.

Amidst speculations about the seriousness of her injury and recovery time, a major update on these issues has surfaced, providing clarity on her situation. Based on this report, it seems like disappointing news for Morgan’s fans in the wrestling community.

Damian Priest made significant waves during his WWE Nxt tenure, which earned him a spot on the main roster in 2021. He began to rise to prominence as a member of Edge’s founded faction, The Judgment Day, which became a turning point in his career. During his time in the stable, he met Rhea Ripley.

Much like for Priest, the days in Judgment Day became crucial for Mami and her ascension as a top superstar. The duo, alongside Dominik Mysterio and Finn Balor, became a close-knit unit. Moreover, Priest and Ripley also became close acquaintances and were dubbed ‘The Terror Twins.’ Recently, Priest dug deep and spilled the beans on the origins of his friendship with Ripley.

When the WWE universe first witnessed Dominik Mysterio as a teenager alongside his father, few would have imagined that Rey Mysterio’s son would one day become a dominant force in the company.

However, his rise is a reality of the modern era in WWE. With his adaptive abilities and intensity inside the ring. Dominik is not just a WWE superstar today; he is a brand in the making within the WWE. However, he shares several features of his persona and physical attributes with his much-loved uncle Eddie Guerrero. The resemblance is so striking that even Rey Mysterio had to question his wife.

In the brutal world of pro-wrestling, injuries are a part and parcel of the sport. No matter how much safety is practised, with those massive moonsaults, heavy landings, gravity-defying leaps, and a flurry of moves that would push one to their limits, one can never write an injury off. In such a similar and tragic development, it was Liv Morgan who found herself at the receiving end of the stick after being in a match-up with Kairi Sane.

In recent times, WWE has seen quite a few injuries impacting a handful of its heavy-hitters. One of the biggest names who had to be pulled off the shelves just ahead of WrestleMania 41, was Kevin Owens. A painful neck injury sidelined him, compelling Randy Orton to fight an unknown entity which was eventually revealed to be Joe Hendry at the last moment.

Kairi Sane was simply doing her thing when Liv Morgan...

The latest episode of WWE Raw was a power-packed episode, featuring the return of Goldberg, while Seth Rollins stormed in only to be dissuaded by Cody Rhodes. Apart from the main superstars, the women’s division also witnessed the return of Asuka while a singles match between Liv Morgan and Kairi Sane ended in disaster.

The episode kicked off with a heated exchange between Iyo Sky and Liv Morgan. The two bounced words off each other as Morgan wanted the title for herself while being accompanied by Dominik Mysterio. However, the words soon turned into a physical brawl as Sky sent Morgan and Dirty Dom retreating for dear life. This set the tone for what was going to be a full-blown blockbuster episode.

Even though Nikki Bella’s return was already announced at Money in the Bank 2025, what happened at the subsequent edition of Monday Night Raw was unprecedented. Liv Morgan, an integral member of the Judgement Day faction, unleashed a relentless attack on the former Women’s Champion upon her return. The assault crossed all limits as she dug into Nikki’s recent wounds of divorce from her ex-husband, Artem Chigvinstev.

But Nikki Bella has decided to give it back to Liv Morgan. The former Women’s Champion has decided that she is not going to give in easily to the new generation of wrestlers in the WWE. In a shocking move, Nikki Bella has made her stance clear: it’s either one way or the other within the company—no middle ground.

Bron Breakker is one of the most phenomenal in-ring athletes in WWE today. The Wolf Dog comes from a rich lineage of wrestlers, with his father and uncle, Rick and Scott Steiner, being renowned Hall of Famers. In only a few years, Breakker has made a significant impact on the WWE landscape and is poised to become one of the top stars of the business.

Furthermore, the wrestling world not only gave him fame and fortune, but also love. The former WWE Intercontinental Champion is currently in a relationship with top Nxt prospect Izzy Dame. The duo is very much in love, as seen on social media, and is very much a typical girlfriend-boyfriend duo.

Monday Night Raw after Money in the Bank 2025 was important in many ways. On one hand, John Cena announced his next title match against Cm Punk at the Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, Nikki Bella made her first appearance at Raw in Phoenix on June 9, marking it as her first WWE appearance since February

Interestingly, Nikki’s return wasn’t just another normal coming back of a prominent WWE superstar. While she was promoting the upcoming Evolution 2 pay-per-view event, she was interrupted by Liv Morgan, and what happened next was nothing short of extraordinary between the two WWE superstars.

The Women’s Money in the Bank contract now belongs to one of the most dangerous Superstars in WWE, Naomi.

Ripley returned to the fray with authority as she nailed Giulia with a dropkick, hit Perez with a shining wizard, and smashed Naomi face-first onto a strategically placed ladder.

Professional wrestling is unpredictable. So much so that no one knows what could potentially happen in the next minute, except for no one but Triple H, who is currently the Chief Content Officer of the WWE. At Money in the Bank 2025, The Game made certain decisions that could turn out to be infamous ones in the future.

Behind the glaring lights of this year’s high-stakes pay-per-view event, the WWE universe was amazed by the results of these 3 matches and without a doubt, LA Knight would be the one most frustrated by that, since this is the third year in the row that he was left in the dark even after an impressive performance inside the ring.

This will be the second time that the pay-per-view will be held without Vince McMahon, whose constant presence has been a guiding light for the WWE over the years.

This year’s event promises intense showdowns and the climax of major rivalries, potentially shaping the direction of key storylines and laying the groundwork for future conflicts throughout the year. As the WWE Universe anticipates several high-stakes matches, revisiting past iconic moments highlights why Money in the Bank gained such prominence under Vince McMahon’s leadership.

A major development before this year’s marquee event is the announcement of John Cena’s retirement tour.

Even though he is currently out of the WWE, Vince McMahon remains one of the most consequential figures who transformed the promotion into a global brand. There were several reasons behind his success as the former head of the company, but most important among them were his business acumen, charismatic persona, and creative mind, which opened the doors to some iconic storylines and characters.

However, McMahon’s journey from the zenith to a rather disgraced chapter of WWE history is a striking example of what immense power could do if left unchecked. But while WWE is trying to reinvent its image under the leadership of Paul Levesque (Triple H), what if Mr. McMahon gets in charge of the wrestling promotion once again? Maybe, the former WWE boss’s new company could be a desperate attempt to return to his former glory.

Judgment Day is an emphatic faction in the WWE. With several remarkable superstars a part of this group, numerous major storylines are being developed in the WWE. But Triple H just dropped a bombshell on the faction, which can have far-reaching consequences for the company.

With his dynamic personality in the Judgement Day, Carlito has cemented his place as an important member of the faction. Even though his time with the group was short-lived, Carlito’s exit from the WWE came at an interesting time for the faction.

Dominik Mysterio is one of the most emphatic in-ring performers in the WWE. His growth in the company during the modern era and particularly under Triple H has been impressive. This is evident from his stature in the Judgment Day storyline, where he is an influential character in the faction, as other WWE superstars rally behind him.

The success story of Rey Mysterio’s son reached new heights when he became the Intercontinental Champion at WrestleMania 41, emerging victorious in the high-stakes fatal 4-way clash. Dominik has, since then, defended his title against Penta and will clash against Finn Balor at Money in the Bank 2025.

In WWE, superstars often jump between Nxt, SmackDown, and Raw for different reasons. Sometimes, they switch brands to get a better spotlight; sometimes, it’s all about the storyline, starting a new feud, or adding some firepower to a brand.

Transfers usually happen during set windows, kind of like in other sports, but occasionally, they can go down outside of those periods, too. Championship belts move with wrestlers when they switch brands, which keeps things unpredictable. Transfer windows are always exciting for fans, it’s a chance to see unexpected rivalries and fresh matchups while giving wrestlers new opportunities to level up their careers.

The 2025 transfer window shook things up in the promotion, with plenty of big-name superstars switching brands. Damian Priest, Braun Strowman, The Miz, and Wyatt Sicks all moved from Raw to SmackDown, while Logan Paul,...

Ever since Logan Paul set foot in the WWE ring, he has only grown from strength to strength. Not only has the Maverick proven himself to be an asset for the Stamford-based company, but his in-ring bouts that have left the fans hooked on the edge of their seats have garnered him opportunities that other pro-wrestlers could only dream of.

While seasoned wrestlers have to work their way around the year to get a match at WrestleMania, Logan Paul made his WWE debut at the Show of Shows. He got to work with The Miz up front and was up against Rey and Dominik Mysterio in his very first match. Even though the reception of Logan Paul has been widely critiqued, in his very first bout, he saved Rey from landing on his neck.

The stars will align once again for what is expected to be a remarkable Money in the Bank 2025. However, the build-up to the historic pay-per-view event has already begun with several emphatic matches on the line.

The Scottish Giant got a title shot as a result of his breathtaking performance in the match. The women’s ladder match was won by Tiffany Stratton, which proved to be a turning point in her career.

WWE has been seeing some of the most compelling rivalries for decades. Whether it was Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan, The Rock vs Steve Austin, or John Cena and Randy Orton squaring off, these top-tier feuds have captivated the audience like no other. However, back in the day, kayfabe was heavily maintained both on and off-screen by these superstars.

The formula adopted by former WWE Chairman and CEO, Vince McMahon, made professional wrestling sensational among the fanbase. However, in the modern era, Triple H’s regime has completely ruined that concept, and a prime example has been how the on-screen rivalry between the women’s division stars, Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley, completely flipped off-screen.
