Jey Uso makes his way to the ring, YEETING. Uso gets on the mic and holds it for like five minutes and says nothing. He finally thanks everyone and says he doesn’t know what to say and says he’s been in the WWE for 15 years with his brother, and then talks about The Bloodline and says these are cool chapters in his career. He talks about how he had to build confidence and he now has all the confidence. He says he’s worked really hard to get to this spot and thanks everyone that helped him get here and because of everyone he’s the 2025 Royal Rumble Winner and now he’ll main event Wrestlemania. Gunther makes his way out and says he’s disappointed because facing Jey doesn’t appeal to him. He tells Uso that he can’t even lace Gunther’s boots – he says he’s always in control and he refuses to do this with Uso again. He says Uso has no idea what it means to hold the title. He says beating Uso won’t add to his legacy – but beating Cena or Punk would add to his legacy. He says Uso has everything to gain and he has everything to lose. He tells Uso if Uso chooses to face him at Wrestlemania every week will be hell for Uso until they get to Wrestlemania. He’ll put Uso down like a diseased dog. He advises Uso to look at his other options, drops the mic and starts leaving and Uso asks him to hold up. Uso says he’s tired of people telling him what he can do and can’t do. Uso says regardless of who he chooses he will walk out as Main Event Uso and he will be the champ.

60-year Cleveland Auto-Rama tradition ends as I-X Center closes
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – The 60th Annual Car Parts Warehouse I-X Piston Powered Auto-Rama wraps up this weekend, marking the last show at the longtime International Exposition (I-X) Center.
Organizers say 900 cars are parked for the event, featuring flashy cars and rebuilt classics.
Cleveland City Council approved plans last year to repurpose the event space for an unnamed private company. What replaces it, nobody is saying.
“Never miss, never miss,” said Jack Marino, who has attended many shows at the I-X Center. “It’s sad because it’s sort of a tradition to this area.”
Marino said he is worried about what Cleveland could lose when the building closes.
Show features diverse collection
“Anything that has a piston that makes it go is in the show. We even have a tank here that was built in 1964 when we were the Cleveland tank plant,” said Scott McGorty with the I-X Center.
George Conrad owns 221 cars and brought a few to the show, including a purple classic.
“Knowing this is possibly the last show, hopefully not. I wanted to bring an eclectic mix of really different things,” said Conrad.
Conrad said someone else started the build on the purple car and never finished it.
“Kind of a step child project to me. An older gentleman had purchased it and started the build and unfortunately he passed away,” said Conrad. “We took the project on, completely disassembled it and kind of restarted the whole thing. Three years, we don’t want to talk about the money.”
Conrad finished it just in time. There will not be another show according to the organizers of the autorama.
No replacement venue in sight
The I-X Center has hosted events for decades, including the garden show, the auto show, the boat show and the RV show. The city and the building’s owner have not released details on what comes next. Only that the expo space will close.
Organizers say no other building in Northeast Ohio is big enough to host the autorama.
“This show has always been about people as much as it is about cars,” said Steve Legerski, show manager for the I-X Piston Powered Auto-Rama. “For 60 years, families have grown up coming to this event together. Builders have debuted lifelong projects here.”
The event features hundreds of vehicles, specialty exhibits, competitions and a marketplace.
The final consumer show inside the Cleveland I-X Center begins Friday and runs through Sunday, March 29. The show is the 60th Annual Car Parts Warehouse I-X Piston Powered Auto-Rama.
Tickets are available at www.pistonpowershow.com and at all 23 Car Parts Warehouse retail locations.
The I-X Center was built in 1942 as the Cleveland Bomber Plant and was a manufacturing site for the B-29 bomber during World War II.
Later, it was known as the Cleveland Tank Plant and tanks and other military vehicles were built there.
Once the war ended, the center had several different uses before becoming the I-X Center in 1985.

VERICA DRAKSIC Obituary – Cleveland, OH
VERICA “VERA” DRAKSIC
OBITUARY
age 74, of Kirtland, OH, passed away peacefully February 26, 2026. Daughter of the late Mijat and Anna Kalac, Vera was born and raised in former Yugoslavia with her siblings Maria (deceased), Lucija (deceased), Nevenka, and Petar. As a young woman, Vera felt a calling to help others that drew her to the field of nursing. This developed into a life-long devotion to cooking and caring for family and friends that she took with her everywhere, from aiding residents at the Slovene Home for the Aged to her work with the Congregation of Blessed Sacrament. In the winter of 1971, Vera emigrated to the United States, settling in Cleveland where she started a family with Martin (deceased), her husband of 40 years. She was a loving mother to their two daughters, Anita (late husband Edgar), and Irena (husband Chris), and a devoted grandmother to her cherished grandson, Evan. Vera spent nearly every waking moment preparing foods for people she admired, including the delicious dishes of her homeland, like strudels, poticas and sarma. Around the holidays, she baked until every container she owned was filled with cookies; gifts for the dozens of people she considered family. If you needed Vera, you could always find her in a kitchen peeling a potato, chopping an onion, or kneading dough; all while stirring a simmering pot. Fueled by a love of people, hard work, strong coffee, and bread and butter, she somehow had time to get the job done with a story and a smile. They don’t make them like Vera anymore. Contributions may be made in memory of Vera to either Sisters of Mercy, Sisters of Notre Dame of the United States, St. Jude, or Doctors Without Borders. Mass of Christian Burial Friday, March 6, 2026, at Divine Word Catholic Church, 8100 Eagle Road, Kirtland, Ohio, 44094, at 10 AM. Burial following at All Souls Cemetery. Family will receive friends to pay tribute to and celebrate the life of Vera at THE ZEVNIK-COSIC FUNERAL HOME OF WILLOUGHBY HILLS, 28890 CHARDON ROAD (between Bishop Rd. and Rt. 91) Thursday, March 5, 2026, from 4 – 8 PM. Online obituary, guestbook, & order flowers at www.DeJohnCares.com.

Third wave of No Kings Day protests take over northeast Ohio
CLEVELAND — Thousands of people braved the cold in downtown Cleveland for the third wave of “No Kings Day” demonstrations against the Trump administration.
This time, protestors said, the stakes are higher than ever.
Community members and activists joined at the Free Stamp in Willard Park and marched alongside Lakeside Avenue and around Cleveland Public Square on Saturday. Demonstrators said they’re rallying against the Trump administration’s escalation of federal immigration enforcement tactics and rocky global economy amid the country’s war with Iran.

U.S. Military Veteran Fidel Swain said he’s marching for the rights of all Americans.
“We’re really concerned with what’s going on in the country today as far as this current administration,” Swain said. “They all seem to not follow the principles and ideas of the working class and just most Americans, which is law, order.”
Northeast Ohio resident Charlotte Hartman also stood among the crowd of demonstrators. She said she attended the two previous No Kings Day protests in Strongsville.
Today, Hartman said, she’s standing in solidarity with all marginalized groups.

“The way he treats people and minorities, the way he treats handicapped people … They don’t seem to be any care or concern for anybody,” Hartman said.
Hartman was joined by Elaine Wheaton, who said she hopes the demonstration will help unite Americans, despite ideological differences.
“We’re hoping that some of the people that voted for Trump before might be changing their mind,” Wheaton said. “He’s getting a little too overboard … I have no problem with Republican presidents like Reagan or Bush or whatever, but it’s not that he’s Republican. It’s just that he’s a bad human.”
The White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson sent a statement to Spectrum News dismissing Saturday’s protest. She wrote, “The only people who care about these Trump Derangement Therapy Sessions are the reporters who are paid to cover them.”
The first No Kings Day protest in June included around 5 million participants, while the second event in the fall drew in around 7 million people.
While speaking about the No Kings Day protests in October, Trump told Fox business that he’s “not a king.”
