Imagine rewinding the calendar two months back. You could see Russell Wilson desperately searching for a ‘giant’ anchor to stop his ship in the vast ocean of free agency. From the Steelers again to visiting the Browns, he worked hard to get in. There was also a possibility he would have landed nowhere; but defied everything.

The New York Giants pulled him over and accepted his massive contract demand of one year. They added him to the squad of Jameis Winston. The guy is happy as hell to return to the MetLife stadium where he won the SB. In fact, his recent Instagram story says, “Good things are coming.” He is now enjoying his time away from his football life.

It was probably a fan’s video on TikTok that Ciara reposted on her IG Stories. And Wilson couldn’t help but re-share the video, where Ciara was doing the challenge with a foldable chair—alongside a 75-year-old grandma doing the same. Wilson’s story read: “Ahhh hell babe… Look what you started 😂😂😂.” He also added, “Y’all, this one done took me out!! Yasss! 75 years!! Wow!!

The “Defy Gravity” challenge originally started on TikTok a while ago. But Ciara took it further—and added her own flair. Her wavelike leg movement is making waves across social media. The challenge went viral, and even a 75-year-old grandma couldn’t resist trying it.
