Welcome to The List,
Fans are starting to speculate that another “Wayne’s World” sequel could be on the way after seeing a recent post from Dana Carvey. He posted a photo of himself and Mike Myers as Wayne and Garth. Back in 2021 they did get in costume for a Super Bowl ad for Uber Eats. So this could (potentially) just be a throwback photo . . . or maybe another commercial…our fingers are crossed…

Tyson claims this time he’s cracked the code on training, saying he went too hard before and “left most of the fight in the gym.” RadarOnline says Mike thinks a smarter camp would change everything.
