John Cena’s retirement tour is ruined after he is set to face Logan Paul for Clash in Paris. The clash was made official after an intense promo during the recent episode of Friday Night SmackDown. Many wrestling enthusiasts now perceive it as the worst booking decision of all time, since it can produce a result even more dreadful than what happened at WrestleMania 41.

The face-off between these WWE superstars is a major step back by the company after it hinted towards a dream match between Cena and Brock Lesnar following his WWE return at SummerSlam 2025.

LA Knight’s theme song is a rare gem in the WWE. It ticks all boxes in terms of being stylish, has the perfect beat, and packs a memorable punch that few other entrance themes in WWE can match right now. His theme song has provided the Megastar with the right kind of attention during entrances and promo appearances. The crowd knows whenever he arrives in the ring that something big is coming up, and they are rarely wrong.

His theme song carries an important message. It symbolizes that LA Knight is here, and he is going to dominate the helm of affairs in the WWE for a while. A future star of the WWE, with a Shazam-like look and qualities, is in the making. He is destined to be at the center stage for a long time to come.

Is WrestleMania going to Saudi Arabia? According to exclusive reports from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (via The Takedown), a potential move might be taken by WWE where the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will be getting its own WrestleMania from 2027. Thus, staging the same PPV twice a year, once in the United States and the other in Saudi Arabia. The report said,

It’s been well known that Saudi Arabia has been pushing for a WrestleMania for years now, and history shows that they are willing to pay a giant fee to get it. This could also turn into a ‘Super WrestleMania’ situation, akin to the Greatest Royal Rumble, by having two WrestleManias in 2027 instead of one.

The report further emphasized another key event from the possible PPV, where the country is pushing Dwayne Johnson to headline the show. The idea of The Showcase of the Immortals being held twice a...

Last week’s episode of Raw had it all — a wild burn from Becky Lynch to Nikki Bella, Penta rocking Xavier Woods’ giant hat, and a monumental main event as LA Knight faced Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship. It seemed like Knight’s best shot, as Rollins had no assistance from his squad after Raw General Manager Adam Pearce barred Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed from ringside.

But it was Cm Punk who came from out of nowhere to attack his longtime nemesis Rollins, resulting in Knight being disqualified and ultimately opening the door for Breakker and Reed to pop up and attack Knight and Punk.

Roman Reigns arrived at the ring to assist Knight and Punk, but was ultimately overpowered by Rollins, Reed, Breakker — at the end of the night, it was the latter three, Paul Heyman’s coalition The Vision, who where left standing.

Roman Reigns is Hollywood-bound, and he has adopted the Quentin Tarantino strategy that will make him the next Dwayne Johnson. During an exclusive interview with Vanity Fair, The Tribal Chief spilled the beans on how he decided to be extremely selective about his films, similar to Tarantino, keeping his calendar open for other ventures.

While talking to the media outlet, Reigns shared that his WWE contract is nearing its end, and he thinks that it’s time to take on a less physically intense form of entertainment. Thus, hinting at transitioning to the film industry and doing roles that intrigue him. He said,

After I finish the contract that I’m in, we probably got another year or two max. Then it’s time to take on a less physical form of entertainment. I almost want to model it after Tarantino, where we’re not just doing anything and everything.

The Rock became a turning point in the John Cena-Cody Rhodes rivalry leading up to WrestleMania 41. However, he did not make an appearance at the show which angered a lot of fans, but The Oracle, Paul Heyman was not concerned about the same, as he mentioned in an interview with Ariel Helwani.

The Final Boss was responsible for Cena turning heel in his final televised appearance so far at the 2025 Elimination Chamber Ple. But according to Paul Heyman, that was the only plan put in place for The Rock on the road to WrestleMania this year.

Hulk Hogan’s daughter, Brooke Hogan, recently shattered all our beliefs and debunked all the fan theories about her father’s s*x tape, talking to none other than the man accused of leaking the tape, Bubba the Love Sponge. All these years, we believed that it was Bubba who leaked the tape, but in reality, he had nothing to do with the mishap, and the Hulkster knew that.

However, Hulk Hogan still decided to sue his former best friend and vilify him in front of the world. But it was Brooke Hogan who finally revealed the truth after all these years to Bubba on his podcast.

I wanna tell you that I was down at my dad’s gym with him back when they set up the sting operation at the Sand Pearl, and he and David Houston got wired up because somebody’s gonna try to extort them for the tape,...

Welcome to our review of this past Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, right here on Nerdly! Let’s see what went down on this week’s show…

Match #1: Sheamus vs. Rusev (Double Count-out) The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Sheamus and Rusev continued their epic rivalry, trading haymakers and brutality as Sheamus hit an enormous White Noise from the top rope. The Celtic Warrior slammed Rusev on the table, but The Bulgarian Brute threw Sheamus into the ring steps. Rusev mocked Sheamus, delivering his own version of The Beats of the Bodhran outside the ring. Sheamus pummeled Rusev with the classic 10 Beats of the Bodhran. After the two sets of the Beats of the Bodhran, Rusev and Sheamus were counted out. After the match, Sheamus and Rusev kept brawling, despite officials trying to separate them.

My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: Penta def. Grayson Waller The following is courtesy of wwe.

Gunther faced off against Cm Punk for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam, and things got wild fast. During the match, it looked like the Ring General suffered a brutal nose injury, at least that’s what everyone thought at first. The match was intense, fast-paced, and super violent, and out of nowhere, Gunther’s nose was gushing blood, or so it seemed. Fans were left scratching their heads, wondering if the injury was legit.

Turns out, it was just another classic swerve from Triple H. At first glance, the blood looked real, but if you looked closely, something felt off; the blood didn’t seem to be flowing from anywhere. Plus, no one actually saw the moment his nose got busted. The Ring General just popped out from under a table, face already drenched in blood.

Monday Night Raw at Brooklyn was as nerve-wrecking as it could’ve been. Several prominent WWE superstars clashed with one another after the show went off-air. This particularly involved Cm Punk, who interfered during the main event of the night against Seth Rollins and LA Knight with the World Heavyweight title on the line.

These behind-the-scenes incidents exposed the realities of storylines in the company. While Seth Rollins’s power-packed faction appears to be becoming a dominant force, the babyface faction WWE is trying to position against them simply lacks the synergy required to work as a team. The altercation after the show also points out how Triple H is overcrowding the contenders for the World Heavyweight title.

In light of this consequential development, let’s examine in detail the off-air happenings at the red roster.

Cm Punk, Roman Reigns, and LA Knight Implosion After the Main Event Seth Rollins...

Things took a crazy turn after WWE Raw’s latest episode went off air. If Bronson Reed, Bron Breakker and Seth Rollins destroying Roman Reigns wasn’t enough, Roman Reigns and Cm Punk went flying into berserker rage, hurling unparliamentary words at each other.

The latest episode of WWE Raw saw Roman Reigns, Cm Punk and LA Knight being dismantled by Seth Rollins and his villainous faction. If that wasn’t entertainment enough for the fans, Reigns, Punk and LA Knight all got into a heated exchange of words and barbs that was caught on camera by the WWE fans.

In a video posted on X by a fan, it was seen that a devastated Roman Reigns was not holding back his anger. Both Cm Punk and Roman Reigns, who were being laid...

Night 1 of WWE’s first-ever two-night SummerSlam was a spectacle packed with drama, surprises, and a massive twist to close the show! Things kicked off with a high-energy opening segment, and from the jump, it was clear WWE wanted this to feel like a blockbuster event. The crowd was buzzing, and the stadium setting gave everything a larger-than-life feel. But the card itself didn’t always live up to that scale.

Tiffany Stratton vs. Jade Cargill for the Women’s Championship was a short but impactful bout. Stratton dominated more than expected, brushing off Cargill’s power offence and dispatching her in under 10 minutes. It was a definitive win, but arguably too decisive for what was billed as a marquee women’s match.

In tag team action, Randy Orton and Jelly Roll teamed up to face Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre. This was better than it had any right to be.

August 4th’s segment of Raw left Nikki Bella red-faced as she received the most personal insult that included John Cena, as she “can’t see him anymore.” Following the events of SummerSlam 2025, Becky Lynch was in high spirits following her victory against Lyra Valkyria, but Nikki Bella confronted her to express her disappointment towards her for ruining the women’s division.

The exchange started getting personal (via YouTube), where Nikki Bella retorted and called her a “liar just like her husband,” referring to the ruse that ruined Cm Punk’s moment. Lynch was not having it and called themselves “the greatest wrestling couple of all time.” It was then that The Irish Lass Kicker remarked that this spot would have been hers, but she needs to learn a lesson or two about relationships. She said,

Okay, do not talk about me and my hot husband. Me and my hot...

Much to the shock of the fans, as reports go, Roman Reigns might be away from WWE for a prolonged period. SummerSlam saw Seth Rollins dropping a surprise return and cashing in on his Money in the Bank contract and since then the fans have been losing it all over this segment. However, what unfurled on the latest episode of WWE Raw will hurt a few emotions as Roman Reigns, Cm Punk and LA Knight were being destroyed.

This is the second time in the year that Reigns will be off after a significant Ple. Following his defeat at WrestleMania 41, he appeared on the Raw after the Ple, only to be taken apart by Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker. As reported by Wrestling News, Roman Reigns has some serious Hollywood scheduling coming up for him.

Roman Reigns Will Be Away From WWE for a Prolonged Time Roman Reigns taking out...

John Cena walked out of SummerSlam 2025 with huge chants from fans, with the star even cutting his theme music to hear them cheer for him. Cena lost the championship title to Cody Rhodes and was later attacked by Brock Lesnar, who made a reentry into the ring after two years.

After his appearance at Rutherford, New Jersey, Cena had nine more appearances before his retirement. Cena announced his plans to retire from the WWE in July 2024 at the Money in the Bank event in Canada. While there is no official confirmation from the company, fans have made a good guess about the remaining matches for Cena.

According to Fightful Wrestling on X, WWE is bound to give some major event appearances for Cena in his final four matches.

On September 15, he will be making an appearance on Monday Night Raw held at Springfield, Maryland. In October, he will probably make...

The first Monday Night Raw after the epic two-night event, SummerSlam, at the MetLife Stadium. From Naomi successfully retaining her Women’s World Championship to Seth Rollins crashing Cm Punk’s greatest moment with his injury ruse, the aftermath of the PPV has far-reaching effects.

Tonight, the first segment of Raw live from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, addresses all the doubts that fans had accumulated over the weekend. This piece contains the highlights for August 5, 2025, so let’s get straight to action.

Tonight’s Monday Night Raw was kicked off by the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins, and his associates, making their way proudly to the ring as they were involved in The Heist of the Century 2.0. The crowd was not thrilled to see them, and the live crowd booed them.

Paul Heyman claimed to be...

SummerSlam 2025 is in the books, and there’s a lot to talk about, but one thing that really stood out was the awesome and unique gear worn by the wrestlers. Cm Punk showed up in a Fantastic Four–themed costume for his match against Gunther, and Jade Cargill paid tribute to her Jamaican roots with an outfit that proudly repped her heritage.

The Judgment Day women rocked cheetah print, and Sami Zayn showed love for Palestine with gear in the colors of the flag. Tons of other stars brought their A-game too. Tiffany Stratton also turned heads with her Sabrina Carpenter-inspired gear, and it definitely caught people’s attention. Fans were loving the look, and it added to her overall standout appearance at the event.

Roman Reigns stuck to his iconic black boots and white gloves, a look that definitely resonated with old-school WWE fans. Alexa Bliss looked great in pink and black,...

WWE SummerSlam 2025 featured a high-stakes collision between Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria. While it was a great showdown, it came into the limelight for all the wrong reasons. Becky’s husband, Seth Rollins, pulled the ‘Ruse of the Century’, while her match became the centre of botchmania.

There was one particular spot that came into the crossfire of the fans on social media after witnessing the clash between Lyra and Becky for the WWE Intercontinental title. It was so evident that the fans just could not hold back, but make their opinions heard on social media.

The Rock returns at Night 2 of SummerSlam 2025? After his return to WWE earlier this year at Elimination Chamber 2025, following John Cena’s heel turn, it has been once again heavily teased that Dwayne Johnson is returning tonight at the main event of The Biggest Party of the Summer.

Thanks to John Cena’s unforeseen babyface announcement and taking shots at The Final Boss, The Rock’s return looks anything but confirmed.

Ahead of the main event of Night 2 of SummerSlam 2025, a new picture has surfaced on X, where Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was spotted in a gym in New Jersey. His presence would ensure that he is here to shake things up once again, as Travis Scott’s public fallout with WWE has ruined their plans to have a storyline around him.

Cm Punk put on an absolute masterclass against Gunther at SummerSlam 2025. But there was one moment that had everyone scratching their heads during the match. Punk clearly tapped out, yet the referee didn’t stop the match. No official stepped in, and the action just kept going like nothing happened.

It was seemingly a super confusing moment and definitely stood out during an otherwise epic match. It somehow felt like the referee was determined to have Gunther lose no matter what.

The MCU could’ve given Seth Rollins a villainous role in one of their films, and he would’ve excelled with his natural heel persona. Unfortunately, he was cut off from the franchise in Captain America: Brave New World. In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, the star opened up about the possible reasons for his role being wiped from the film, saying:

Truth be told, any answer I gave you would only be my opinion on it. The script went through a lot of rewrites and reshoots and so what I was there to do… Essentially my role got either repurposed or completely erased.

As the likes of All Elite Wrestling and World Wrestling Entertainment have become fully fledged entertainment brands, rather than just wrestling promotions, it's become more common to see the in-ring performers make the jump to Hollywood -- and no, not those awful movies like "The Chaperone," "The Marine 6: Close Quarters," or any of Hulk Hogan's questionable straight-to-video offerings. You only need to look at how Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns were cast in major roles as Guile and Akuma respectively in Kitao Sakurai's "Street Fighter" reboot movie. In the past, they may have been credited as Thug #1 and Thug #2 in some random action scene.

Considering how wacky the world of pro wrestling is, it's no surprise to see it cross over much more with comic book movies and TV shows. After all, pro wrestlers are simply superheroes in skimpier tights and with their own catchphrases -- and...

Hulk Hogan’s family is divided? Brooke Hogan skips SummerSlam, refuses to touch $25 million fortune as her strained relationship with her father has once again sparked talks among the fans. She has publicly mentioned the reason for not being on talking terms with her father in an Instagram post, where she wrote about the “issues” that revolve around her family, hampering the “peace” in her life.

Despite making active efforts to stay away from the spotlight, negativity continued to take jabs at her, overshadowing her presence. Though it was bearable to one point, it was uncontrollable once it brought them under fire, too. Now, her absence from August’s Ple has allegedly made it clear how she still holds a grudge against the WWE Hall of Famer.

After months of anticipation, Seth Rollins finally dropped the bomb at SummerSlam Night 1, revealing that his knee injury was a scheme. It was anticipated that Seth Rollins was going to return at August’s PPV. Fans had speculated that the star would give an update on the injury that had marred his wrestling career.

But it turns out that it was all a lie orchestrated perfectly to let Cm Punk drop his guard and receive another heartbreak as he put on a fight against Gunther. This made us think how far The Architect had gone to deceive everyone about his knee injury.

Seth Rollins’ Injury Ruse Stripped Cm Punk of His SummerSlam Moment

Earlier this year, Seth Rollins earned a guaranteed match for the WWE title when he won the Money in the Bank ladder match, playing mind games with John Cena and Gunther. However, his plans were spoiled when...

You can love Seth Rollins or hate him, but it is now a fact that the WWE universe cannot ignore him. The self-styled architect of the company has been an integral part of WWE programming, but an unfortunate knee injury forced him out of the existing storylines and cast a cloud of uncertainty on his future.

However, given the kind of persona he has and how he has delivered what was expected from him in WWE storylines, many believe that it is just a deliberate attempt on Seth Rollins’s end to make his rivals complacent. In this regard, the best time for him to return is SummerSlam 2025, and here is why he is bound to do it.

Long before she became WWE’s Eradicator and tied the knot with Buddy Matthews, Rhea Ripley was your average fangirl with cardboard cutouts of her crushes. And while she didn’t have Zac Efron from ‘High School Musical’ in her room, she sure did have professional wrestler, Michael “The Miz” Mizanin.

Not only was she a superfan of the WWE Champion, but she also had a life-size cardboard cutout of the man. The cutout showed Mizanin, wearing nothing but a pair of underwear with his signature phrase, “I’m Awesome” printed on it.

It looks like his head was also adorned with a headband that read, “B’day Boy”. In a picture that either many of you forgot or never saw, a young Rhea Ripley stood beside the cutout, posing, as party streamers were scattered across the room.

John Cena recently starred in the action-comedy Heads of State alongside Hollywood star Idris Elba, and the movie has totally blown past expectations. It’s currently the most-streamed film right now, and get this, it’s been streamed more than A Minecraft Movie and Sinners combined.

Sinners racked up 555 million minutes, and A Minecraft Movie got 419 million. But Heads of State? It hit a massive 1.1 billion minutes streamed. That’s a huge win for the movie’s team and an impressive box office success for Cena and Elba.

Brock Lesnar is hands down one of the greatest sports personalities ever. Over the years, he’s wowed fans with his insane wrestling skills and unmatched presence in the ring. Even though he’s been away from WWE for years, his popularity hasn’t dropped one bit.

In fact, according to Wrestle Seek, Brock was the 3rd most searched WWE wrestler in July 2025, right behind John Cena and Roman Reigns. What’s wild is that, unlike Cena and Reigns, Brock hasn’t wrestled in ages, which makes this even more impressive.

The upcoming segment of Friday Night SmackDown will be the last stop before the biggest wrestling premium live event of the summer, SummerSlam. The event will follow a WrestleMania-esque schedule with 2 nights loaded with action and the biggest names in the business. However, before the biggest PPV could kick off, the show will take a quick pit stop at the blue brand to set the final pieces of the puzzle.

This week’s SmackDown will be hosted at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. With names like Cody Rhodes, John Cena, Damian Priest, and more set to appear, the show will crank up the heat, giving us a glimpse of how thunderous and personal the fights will be in the Ple.

With that being said, here are our 7 last-minute predictions that can happen on SmackDown and have a direct impact on SummerSlam 2025.

Cm Punk just weighed in on one of WWE’s biggest debates: who’s better: The Rock or John Cena? Both are huge names in the wrestling world with even bigger impact, so picking one over the other wasn’t easy in any possible way.

But during a blind ranking of WWE superstars, Punk made his choice loud and clear. He ranked The Rock at number 7 and Cena at number 4, indicating that, in his eyes, Cena is the better wrestler by a considerable margin. Punk is always known as someone who is not afraid to speak his mind, and this time was no exception. The Cookie Master went on to place Goldberg at number 10 and, surprisingly, The Miz at the pinnacle of the list.

Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio’s onscreen act has played wonders for their WWE careers, where both wrestlers have grown to be absolute fan favorites. However, for Cm Punk, it was quite hard to believe that WWE really pitched such a storyline, where a woman like Ripley was with Dirty Dom.

Punk and Ripley both appeared as guests on E-Man’s Movie Reviews podcast to promote WWE: Unreal, The Best in the World, shared how nobody is going to believe that the Eradicator is in a relationship with Dom, and mocked the pitch. He said,

One time, they wanted her to be in a relationship with Dominic Mysterio. Who’s going to believe that? Who’s going to believe that? Hey everybody, here’s a Greek goddess, and she’s with this f**king nerd. Like, come on. Come on. That’s exposing that exposes the business more than anything...

In the recent Netflix documentary WWE Unreal, Triple H revealed that they took inspiration from Marvel’s multiverse concept while weaving John Cena’s retirement storyline. Without a doubt, this move elevated John Cena’s retirement tour and changed how WWE plans its storylines. The Hunter claimed that they came with multiple ‘what if’ scenarios and tried to figure out if it would work well with the audience or not.

The creative team of WWE visualised different multiverses and different possibilities of the storyline, and then fixated on the multiverse they deemed the most entertaining. This actually helped them contemplate different possibilities and finally fix on the best one, John Cena embracing his dark side and turning heel at Elimination Chamber 2025.

Hayley Williams has always been a walking contradiction—in the best, most beautiful way. She’s loud and soft all at once. You see a punk rockster one minute, and then she suddenly shows raw emotion the very next moment. And just when everyone thinks they’ve got her figured out, she goes and drops seventeen songs out of nowhere, like it’s just another Tuesday. That surprise on July 28 came just days after she casually premiered a new song, Mirtazapine, on Nashville’s local radio.

And if that wasn’t enough, she also helped re-release Paramore’s debut album with a secret stash of old material. In the world of Paramore, this past week has been a whirlwind. But behind all the musical chaos and color, there are corners of Hayley Williams’s life that fans don’t always get to see.

Netflix’s WWE: Unreal arrives with the fanfare of a championship entrance, promising an unprecedented look into the world’s biggest sports entertainment machine. The series follows the company during a seismic shift, tracking its debut on the streaming giant through its biggest event of the year, WrestleMania.

We are positioned as flies on the wall in rooms occupied by Chief Content Officer Triple H and top-tier talent like Cody Rhodes, Cm Punk, and a reflective John Cena. The premise is tantalizing, posing a question as old as the carnival itself: what happens when the people who sell an illusion for a living decide to show you how the trick is done?

The show bills itself as a raw look at the creative process, a peek at the gears grinding beneath the spectacle. It invites us to see the blood, sweat, and decisions that forge heroes and villains inside the squared circle.

You may not believe it, but Cm Punk will turn 47 on 26th October. Punk might be one of the most successful wrestlers of all time, and he is still proving himself on the biggest stage, even at this age, when most wrestlers quit or become just part-timers. Cm Punk has achieved a lot in his WWE career. He is a 5-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion, a one-time Intercontinental Champion, and a one-time Ecw Champion.

He has been involved in several iconic feuds and intriguing storylines, shaping the promotion and influencing it to a level that is nothing short of extraordinary. He is also one of the very few WWE wrestlers who have dipped their toes in professional Mma by joining the UFC. But despite his incredible achievements, the most unbelievable thing about him is his age. Who can tell that he is 46 years old? So let us take a look...

“We’re going to lift the curtain. We are going to show you things you’ve never seen in this show,” WWE Hall of Famer and Chief Content Officer Triple H said in announcing its docuseries collaboration with Netflix. The question is, do we really need to see this?

“WWE: Unreal” gives the audience unprecedented access, going backstage with WWE Superstars and staff as they bring the company’s biggest spectacles to life from the Royal Rumble to WrestleMania.

When I was younger, I believed that The Undertaker was a dead man walking, Umaga was a tribal chief and Vince McMahon was an egomaniacal billionaire… Maybe that last one was true. There was a real magic in keeping kayfabe alive as audiences get lost in the compelling storylines that make the matches and rivalries more believable.

The upcoming Netflix sports documentary is controversial within the wrestling fan community as it...

Hulk Hogan has been quite a controversial figure in WWE, but that has not stopped WWE from giving him a fitting tribute last week on SmackDown and tonight on Raw. What made it more intriguing is how Cm Punk, the man who loathed The Hulkamaniac to the core, was present on the front row during his tribute. In his typical manner, Punk facially expressed that he was not too thrilled to be there.

However, not everyone had the same character growth as the Second City Saint. Seth Rollins and Aj Styles, who equally detest the wrestling icon, were absent during the 10-bell salute. Rollins’ absence could be understood, but Styles, who was later part of the show with the Kabuki Warriors, was taking on the Judgement Day. Thus, subtly conveying their indifference towards the Hall of Famer’s demise at the age of 71.

Cm Punk Doubles Down on Hulk Hogan...

Imagine this: What if Jey Uso hadn’t won the 2025 Royal Rumble, and instead Cm Punk went head-to-head with Gunther at WrestleMania 41 for the World Heavyweight Championship? Or, what if John Cena hadn’t turned heel, and instead The Rock called upon somebody else to beat Cody Rhodes for his WWE Championship?

Those storylines, though vastly different from the ones that actually unfolded, were given real consideration in the WWE writers’ room, and it’s all on display in WWE: Unreal.

Ever since Naomi was revealed to be Jade Cargill’s mystery assailant, she underwent a huge transformation this year.

SummerSlam 2025 is right around the corner, and it’s already creating a massive buzz. The cards for both nights of the event are out, and we can’t stop talking about it. This year’s event is loaded with show-stopping matches that are sure to light up MetLife Stadium and get fans on their feet. Credit should be given to Triple H for cooking up a thrilling lineup that wrestling fans are already losing their minds over.

The biggest showdown of the night is John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes without a doubt. These two have a long history of rivalry and competition, and whenever legends like them collide, you know it’s going to be something special. Cena’s on a mission to fulfill his promise of walking away from WWE with the Undisputed World Championship title and “ruin wrestling forever” by retiring with the championship. Cody, though, has something to say about that.

When Travis Scott appeared next to the Final Boss, Dwayne Johnson, at this year’s Elimination Chamber PPV, fans were thrilled to see the rapper and how he was the secret addition that The Rock had been hinting at for ages. However, his journey with the world’s largest wrestling promotion brand has not aged well, adding problems to Triple H’s WWE, which has been stumbling after anime’s soaring popularity exceeded everyone’s expectations.

However, the Fe!N artist’s presence has only been a problem in the WWE locker room, where every talent has publicly expressed their dislike towards him. Drew McIntyre is the newest name to join the lot. During an appearance on the ImPaulsive podcast, the Scottish Psychopath criticized him for not being dedicated enough to make enough appearances and ruining the main event of WrestleMania 41, which could have been the greatest. He said,

The event will be telecast on websites like Peacock and Netflix around the world. There are some absolutely delicious fights lined up for us in the event, and we can’t thank Triple H enough for this lineup. John Cena’s going head-to-head with Cody Rhodes, and Cody’s hungry for payback against the 17-time champ. Cm Punk’s getting into the ring against Gunther, and it’s gonna be an all-out brawl for that World Heavyweight Title.

Triple H is also cooking up something big over in the Women’s division with some exciting matchups. Tiffany Stratton’s getting ready to face Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Championship. Jade earned her shot at the title after becoming the Queen of the Ring. And over...

Hulk Hogan had an interesting life all along. Not only did he manage to impact the WWE as a wrestler, but the rise of Hulk Hogan in the WWE has set new benchmarks in the company for other wrestlers. The commercial success of the Hulkamania protagonist was immense. So much so that, according to Hogan in his autobiography, he made $10 million annually during the late 1980s.

There were many ups and downs in the emphatic life of Hogan. From a troubled married life and divorce to an emphatic career in professional wrestling. He helped shape the manner in which professional wrestling is perceived by fans and wrestlers alike. The widespread explosion of the wrestling scene in the 1980s and beyond can be attributed to Hogan in many ways.

This is the reason why his salary 40 years ago outshone modern-day wrestlers even today, highlighting the kind of impact he had when...

WWE legend Hulk Hogan has been a part of numerous legendary matches in his vast WWE career, and his last ever bout in WWE, against Randy Orton at SummerSlam 2006, was no exception. Interestingly, Randy Orton was also the last ever opponent of Triple H. That’s one wild coincidence fans can’t stop talking about on the Internet, and that’s not all, it gets even more surreal. Randy Orton also happened to be the final opponent of Dusty Rhodes, Cody’s dad.

Though the matchup between Hogan and Randy Orton didn’t exactly scream ‘legendary’, mainly because of Hogan’s age and vast injuries, which compelled him to take it slow during the bout.
