Telly’s afternoon briefing · Saturday, November 7, 2026. New champions, another trip into the Upside Down, and a weekend in which governing Rome does not require buying it.
Crown Jewel has new tag champions
Penta and Je’Von Evans defeated Bron Breakker and Austin Theory for the World Tag Team Championship at Crown Jewel. Netflix’s official event update also confirms Cody Rhodes beat Randy Orton in their Last Man Standing match. The tag division gets a new pairing at the top, which is a more consequential souvenir than the event’s ornamental gold. Official results and updates.
WWE’s October 26 clip below sets up the tag-title match; it is the build-up, not footage of today’s finish.
Stranger Things finds an earlier decade to inconvenience
Netflix has announced Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure, a live-action prequel from the Duffer Brothers and longtime series writer Kate Trefry, planned for 2028. It is set in the 1950s, before both the original show and the 1959 events of The First Shadow, with a new setting and new characters. Apparently the franchise’s next frontier is supernatural trouble before the good synthesizers arrive. Netflix’s announcement.
Somebody clearly wants more Nobody Wants This
Nobody Wants This is officially renewed for season four, with filming remaining in Los Angeles. Netflix has not announced a release date. Kristen Bell and Adam Brody’s romantic comedy now has the luxury of continuing past the initial attraction, where television relationships must confront their true enemy: several more seasons of decisions. Renewal announcement (includes season-three spoilers).
Rome is a rental this weekend
Xbox’s current Free Play Days window runs through November 8, with Anno 117: Pax Romana and Crime Boss: Rockay City available to try without Game Pass membership. BALL x PIT, PAYDAY 3, Deceive Inc., Age of Wonders 4, and Nowhere Prophet require an eligible Ultimate, Premium, or Essential membership for their trials. These are temporary play windows, not permanent giveaways; the sensible move is to test the game before adding another obligation to the backlog. Xbox’s official dates and eligibility.
