The guy who retired Goldberg, retired AJ Styles, and retired John Cena by making him tap out for the first time in 20 years just lost to Cody Rhodes.
One of the worst booking decisions of the year.

What is happening today is NOT remotely the same as what happened under Gota.
In 2022, many countries faced the same conditions without ending in sovereign default. The real issue under Gota was macroeconomic mismanagement:
- artificially pegging the rupee
- draining reserves
- reckless tax cuts
- excessive money printing
- delayed IMF engagement, import bans, and denial around the scale of the crisis.
Don’t rewrite history with twisted narratives.
External shocks expose vulnerabilities. Bad policy management determines whether those shocks become a full economic collapse.
As for today, yes excess market liquidity, weak investor confidence (we are still a stabilizing economy), dollar demand and lack of FDIs are all part of the current pressure. But that still does NOT make it structurally identical to 2022.
Today’s conditions:
- our reserves are in a better position
- the exchange rate is more flexible
- the IMF framework exists
- CBSL credibility is far significantly higher today (Cabraal was a fool).
Sri Lanka remains highly vulnerable to geopolitical shocks because we are still an import dependent economy, especially on energy. That reality does not disappear in near term because governments change.
Global oil shocks are not due to stabilize anytime soon either. The market data already shows this. There is more to be done, but one next step the government should take to protect reserves and naturally control demand is to remove the fuel subsidy. Highly unpopular move, people will scream and shout, but cost reflective fuel pricing is important.
People really need to stop comparing every currency movement to 2022 as if all economic conditions are identical.
You are not helping the country with misinformed narratives like this.
You are also publicly displaying your lack of understanding of what’s happening in the market, or geopolitically.
Congratulations to Hon. C. Joseph Vijay on being sworn in as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu are connected through history, culture, enterprise, and enduring people-to-people ties across generations. Our future holds immense economic promise and opportunity as Sri Lanka and India continue to build ever closer ties and a stronger partnership.
I look forward to working together, within the strong India–Sri Lanka partnership, towards greater prosperity and progress.
The people of Sri Lanka join me in wishing you and the people of Tamil Nadu every success.

Survivors of the Easter Sunday terrorist attack are speaking out.
Islamic terrorists drove a truck into a crowd of Christian worshippers. Multiple dead. At least 57 injured.
“Christians have no rights in Pakistan. We had no security. No police. No help.”
But the West is silent
Do you see that tiny RED dot? That’s Israel, the only Jewish state in the world.
They want you to believe that the tiny RED dot is the oppressor and colonizer, and that the GREEN Muslim countries surrounding it are the oppressed.
Do they realize how ridiculous they sound?
Up to now, a former CEO, and a former Chairman of SriLankan Airlines have been arrested on charges of corruption
You don't have to look further than this graph to identify how previous regimes have dragged down a prestigious money maker of #SriLanka, to ruins

Benjamin Netanyahu:
"Israel is not just fighting our battle, it is fighting the battle against radical Islam that threatens the future of the world. It is an extremist ideology that knows no limits. Israel is defending itself, but also Western civilization."
He is 100% correct.
❗️The Iranian terrorist regime launched a long-range missile for the first time since the start of Operation Roaring Lion that could reach a distance of ~4,000 km.
During Operation Rising Lion in June 2025, the IDF revealed that the Iranian regime has intentions to develop missiles with a range of 4,000 km, which pose a danger to dozens of countries in Europe, Asia and Africa. The Iranian regime denied this.
We have been saying it: The Iranian terrorist regime poses a global threat. Now, with missiles that can reach London, Paris or Berlin.
The Iranian terror regime has carried out attacks against 12 countries in the region and is developing a capability that poses a much broader threat.
Muslim: We serve the same God.
Me: Does Allah have a Son?
Muslim: No… he doesn’t.
Me: Okay… can Allah be called Father?
Muslim: Uh… no, we don’t call him Father.
Me: Alright, is your relationship with Allah like a father and child?
Muslim: No… we are slaves, he’s the master.
Me: Does Allah love unconditionally? Loves you first before you love him?
Muslim: No… you have to love him first. His love is conditional.
Me: Has Allah ever appeared to any of his prophets?
Muslim: No, he doesn’t appear.
Me: Has Allah ever spoken directly to any of his prophets?
Muslim: No… he’s too great to speak to anyone.
Me: Does Allah have a visible image?
Muslim: No, he’s nothing like his creation.
Me: Then whose image did he claim
humans were made in?
Muslim: …
Me: Does Allah have a visible image?
Muslim: No…
Me: Perfect. Thanks for clarifying. So based on your own answers, we don’t serve the same God. My God is not limited, He allows us to call Him Father, He has a Son, He appeared, and He speaks. Allah can’t do any of that. So no, we do not worship the same God.
Muslim: …We know this we just want to argue blindly.
Six officers from the Gampaha Police Special Motorcycle Squad, arrested for the alleged assault of a Catholic priest, further remanded until January 29. An identification parade is scheduled for the same day.
If you claim to support human rights yet can’t bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you’ve revealed yourself. You don’t give a damn about people being oppressed and brutalised so long as it’s being done by the enemies of your enemies.
