NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Kevin Owens has been away from the ring for several months.The last time any pro wrestling fan saw him inside the squared circle was weeks before WrestleMania 41 when he announced to the world he needed neck surgery that would keep him out of action for several months.COMPLETE PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE ON FOX NEWS DIGITAL Owens has been seen sparingly since then. He’s featured on “WWE LFG” as a coach and recently made an appearance on the pre-show for NXT The Great American Bash.Fox News Digital asked one of Owens’ best friends, Sami Zayn, about him in a recent interview prior to Night of Champions. Zayn said that Owens being in a spot where he could return to the ring just takes time.”I don’t want to speak out of school sharing his medical stuff,” Zayn said. “The procedure that he had just takes time. He’s going to do his due diligence – do rehab exercises and all that. But it really is a matter of time when you’re talking about fusions and those kinds of procedures, you just need time to get to where it needs to be.”Zayn added that any of…

As the Marine Corps continues its pursuit of ground-based air defense against hostile drones and low-flying enemy aircraft, it’s making a milestone investment: a first-of-its-kind $20 million production contract for fully autonomous ground vehicles that can transport air defense systems deeper into the fight, with less human oversight.The contract was awarded this month to Overland AI, a Seattle-based company whose autonomy stack already powers military vehicles including General Dynamics’ Small Multipurpose Equipment Transport (S-MET); the Army’s 18th Airborne Corps; Textron’s Ripsaw M5; and used by DARPA, among othersIn a round table meeting with reporters on Monday, Overland co-founder and CEO Byron Boots said the Other Transaction Authority production agreement, awarded through the office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, made the company the first ground autonomy provider to prime a production agreement with the U.S. military.“Ground autonomy matters now more than ever,” Boots said. “We’re seeing the proliferation of uncrewed ground vehicles in conflicts like the one in Ukraine, and tech maturity is really there.”Adding, “We’re registering extremely high demand from U.S. operational units who want to incorporate this technology into their concepts of operation, so in the last six months or so we’ve really seen…

A student pilot reached for the wrong fuel control in his Block-1 OA-1K Skyraider II on Oct. 23, 2025, shutting off fuel to the engine and forcing the crew to crash-land the special operations aircraft in an Oklahoma field, an Air Force accident investigation board found.The crash is the first time an OA-1K has been destroyed since the missionized aircraft entered service in April 2025.The board determined the pilot mistakenly engaged the fuel shutoff valve, normally reserved for emergencies, when the instructor told him to open the nearby fuselage fuel tank valve, a routine check crews run on nearly every flight.The mistake “isolated the fuel supply from the aircraft firewall, starving the engine of fuel in flight,” the report said.No one was hurt, but the aircraft was destroyed, with damage estimated at $17.9 million.The report points to a key difference between the Block-0 and Block-1 variants as a likely source of the confusion.The pilot’s vantage point in a Block-0 variant. (United States Air Force Aircraft Investigation Board Report)Photos included in the report show the red fuel shutoff valve handle and the silver fuselage fuel tank valve lever positioned about five inches apart on the front-left side of the cockpit.

Prolific knifemeister Grzegorz Grabarski is seeing his latest Bestech collab model roll out, the Wet Nellie. The name is admittedly pretty weird, but the piece itself is a buttoned-up, stylized mid-sized flipper. Honestly, the name sounds like it would belong to some forgotten traditional knife pattern, rather than futuristic piece we have before us. The Wet Nellie’s blade is an elegant, 3.53-inch drop point, very low slung with just a kiss of belly and a nicely tapered tip. It will be a familiar shape to any user with any knife experience, and an intuitive one even to those without. Opening is being served two ways: either via the flipper tab, or the extra large decorative thumb studs. Finally, thanks to the presence of MagnaCut for the blade steel, edge retention will be at enthusiast-approved levels. The button frame lock setup is an unusual one The most unconventional element on the Wet Nellie though is its locking mechanism. Bestech is calling it a “button frame lock,” and it’s really an interesting setup. Essentially, the Wet Nellie has a typical locking arm as any frame lock would, but it can be disengaged by pressing the button on the front side scale. It’s…

A United States Department of Agriculture facility has opened up to combat the New World screwworm parasite infecting animals in Mexico and the US. The facility will produce millions of sterile flies to combat the screwworm. The USDA invested about $21 million to renovate and convert an existing fruit fly facility in Metapa, Mexico. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said construction began about 11 months ago. While the site is not yet fully complete, officials expect it to begin producing 30 million sterile flies by mid-July. “The more sterile flies we produce and deploy, the faster we can suppress and ultimately eradicate this devastating pest,” Rollins wrote in a post on X. The US confirmed its first screwworm case in a calf on June 3rd of this year. Since then, there have been 15 more cases. US Screwworm Cases At 16 According to a report by News Nation Now, lawmakers estimate a widespread outbreak could cost Texas livestock producers about $732 million annually and lead to total economic losses of up to $1.8 billion per year statewide.
