Roman Reigns Is Exactly What WWE Needs Right Now
After months of programming that was, to be completely honest, subpar, WWE is finally rebounding. The first big move was to finally shift weekly programming away from the Performance Center and into the Thunderdome. The tone of the product immediately changed and Raw and Smackdown felt important again. Now, the return of a single talent has seemingly resurrected one of the company’s two main roster shows, making it feel like can’t-miss television once again.
Roman Reigns is back. The Big Dog made his return at SummerSlam, attacking Braun Strowman and the newly-crowned WWE Universal Champion The Fiend, leaving them lying in the ring and showing the audience a new edge to his character. Then he added Paul Heyman as an on-screen advocate, and went on to take the WWE Universal Championship, picking his spot in a triple threat match after Strowman and The Fiend destroyed each other at Payback.
This is the Roman Reigns WWE fans need right now. What’s more, this is the shot in the arm that Reigns, who never fully rebounded as a top character in WWE after taking time off for health reasons, needed.

Borderlands 3 News For PAX Online Teased By Gearbox
PAX Online, a virtual event replacing both PAX Australia and PAX West due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, is set to go live from September 12-20. For the event’s first day, Borderlands 3 creator Gearbox Software has teased some sort of announcement related to the Borderlands franchise.
Starting on September 12 at 12:45 PM PT / 3:45 PM ET, Gearbox will unveil “what’s coming next” in Borderlands and from its publishing division, Gearbox Publishing. It’s unclear how long the broadcast, titled the Gearbox Digital Showcase, will last or what specific announcements will be made. In either case, you can watch the presentation on Gearbox’s official Twitch and YouTube channels.
Before the Gearbox Digital Showcase goes live, though, the company will launch Borderlands 3’s next DLC on September 10. Titled Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck, the new DLC will also increase the level cap again, add more mini-events leading up to its launch, and introduce new gear, among other things.
Pokemon Go September 2020 Field Research List
September is here, and a lot is happening in Pokemon Go this month. On top of all the September events taking place over the next few weeks, new Field Research tasks are now live in the game, along with a new Research Breakthrough encounter: Alolan Raichu.
Each time you achieve a Research Breakthrough in September 2020, you’ll get a chance to catch Alolan Raichu. There’s a possibility this Raichu could be Shiny as well, giving you another incentive to complete as much Field Research as you can this month.
While you’ll receive one bonus Field Research task in the game each day, Field Research is typically obtained from PokeStops. There’s no limit to how many tasks you can do daily, but you’ll receive one stamp for the first task that you complete each day. Once you amass seven stamps, you’ll achieve a Research Breakthrough, leading to the aforementioned encounter with Alolan Raichu.

Rebel Galaxy Outlaw Heads To More Platforms After Epic Games Store Exclusivity Ends
Developer Double Damage Games has announced that Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is launching on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Steam on September 22. The action-packed space combat sim was previously an Epic Games Store exclusive, but it’s now making its way to other platforms.
If you were unaware, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is a prequel to 2015’s Rebel Galaxy. While the first game cast you as the commander of a powerful star destroyer with combat akin to Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag‘s naval skirmishes, Outlaw drops you straight into the cockpit of a nimble spaceship piloted by outlaw and smuggler, Juno Markev.
There’s a full single-player story campaign for you to play through, but you’re also free to tread off the beaten path to meet and befriend a cast of sketchy characters, gamble some of your hard-earned cash and equipment at the local watering hole, or simply cruise around the vastness of space listening to over 21 hours of Subspace Radio.
