Wonder Woman’s Lynda Carter to Play President in Supergirl
The President of the United States will have a certain wonderful quality in Supergirl's second season.
Lynda Carter, who played Wonder Woman in the DC Comics hero's 1970s TV series, is set to play the president on Supergirl when the show returns for season 2. Carter will appear in multiple episodes in the second season and is currently slated to make her debut in the season's third episode.

Wrestling Wrap Up: Ambrose Wins Big at Money in the Bank
Gotta say, I really enjoyed this week's wrestling product. From Lucha Underground's all-episode "Six to Survive" match to NXT to Money in the Bank to RAW, there's was much enjoyment. Very wrestling. So slobberknocker.
A little quick bit about TNA right here at the start though, as I was planning on making this week's Impact Wrestling the first I'd watched in months. It was following a PPV and it was an episode focused all on the champs defending their titles and that seemed like a good place to pick things up, eyeball-wise. I never got around to watching what I DVR'd though because, apparently, there were major glitches with POP! and they just wound up running the same That '70s Show commercial for two solid hours on a loop with little flashes of Bobby Lashley in between.

But that wasn't all we found out while there.
