He teamed up with The Miz against Rey Mysterio and his son at this year's Wrestlemania and managed to pick up the win together.

With the new decision, the agency might be able to push a power plant to install technology to reduce its emissions on-site, but it can’t influence states’ decisions on where they get their energy from in the first place. To make things worse, the premise of the court’s...
