Lesnar settles his debts and Rollins begs forgiveness as WWE Battleground approaches INDIANAPOLIS — That sound you hear isn’t only the rumble of Brock Lesnar’s return, but also the distant shuffling of papers officially negating The Beast Incarnate’s suspension. As wheeled and dealt by Paul Heyman, The Conqueror has added litigation to his list of vanquished foes. Lesnar’s first order of business on his first Raw back was to seal the proverbial deal by “apologizing” to JBL and Michael Cole for laying them out back in March. He accomplished it through a pair of vaguely menacing handshakes to The Wrestling God and a noogie to a petrified Cole. With those pleasantries out of the way, it was back to the task at hand: Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Title that The Anomaly never really lost. Heyman was practically frothing at the mouth to hype the match. Not just for the “This time it’s personal” vibe that typically accompanies such confrontations,

In an authorized biography, Madam Eunice Aye Jonathan recalls why the president was christened Goodluck, Naijaloaded reveals. Madam Eunice recalls that there was nothing special about the day on which Goodluck was born in Otuoke. His birth was however very easy compared to her other experiences with childbirth. She says: “I often had prolonged labour during childbirth, sometimes for up to a week, and because of this, I usually had still-births. But when it was the turn of Goodluck, I delivered him the very day I started having labour pains. This surprised me.” Apart from this, Eunice, did not regard the day as extraordinary. According to her, the people of Otuoke went about their duties as usual. No dramatic event occurred. Perhaps, the fact that nothing special happened was indeed significant and the truly important event was his birth. Giving his reason for naming the son Goodluck, the president’s father said: “I called him Goodluck because although life was hard for me when he wa
