A lack of charisma, usual excitement, and pyro works that would’ve stunned his opponents and the WWE universe alike. These were the reasons why it was a night to forget for Cody Rhodes. The undisputed WWE Champion disappointed fans and critics in Montreal at WWE SmackDown.

The American Nightmare came in while Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul started attacking John Cena after an intense promo. But it did not feel like Cody Rhodes at all. The prolific performer who came in to save Cena instead became the target himself later on.

Fans were expecting the grand entrance they’re used to for Cody Rhodes. The undisputed WWE Champion always garnered the attention he rightfully deserved. But in Montreal, things turned out drastically different.

It wasn’t...

Did John Cena call out Triple H for his Brock Lesnar-shaped lie? The latest segment of SmackDown was full of emotions, as Mr. Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect kicked off the show, expressing his fear of facing Lesnar once again. However, in the midst of his cutting-edge promo, he subtly refuted Triple H’s narrative.

During the segment (via YouTube), Cena mentioned how “all these fears” are going on in his mind and if he’d prefer to face The Beast Incarnate in any “universe,” but he’d not go out without a fight. He said,

I got all these fears on my mind. Heck, I am even afraid of Brock Lesnar. I don’t know in what universe me right now would ever actually choose Brock Lesnar as an opponent. But you and I we’ve known each other for a long time, and you know there is no...

John Cena against Brock Lesnar is bound to happen at some point before Cena’s retirement tour ends. And the reason for this dream clash to return is because WWE is long due a proper babyface vs heel fight.

The clash between two superstars carrying a certain persona is one thing. But Cena and Lesnar have transitioned to become the embodiment of babyface and heel characters, respectively. The altercation between them became an emerging talking point following Brock Lesnar’s WWE return. The faceoff between them is expected to intensify, unlike any other rivalry.

After Brock Lesnar lost against Cody Rhodes in 2023, he took a hiatus from WWE before returning to SummerSlam recently. During this hiatus, his name was dragged into Janel Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon. According to reports, despite the hiatus and lawsuit, Lesnar remained one of the highest-paid wrestlers with the company.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that WWE continued to pay Lesnar his contract money in these last two years. Meltzer also claimed that WWE never suspended him despite his name being connected to Grant’s lawsuit. He wrote (via @WrestleTalk_TV/X):

Lesnar was still, even though not used, fully paid during that time period and was among the highest paid wrestlers in the company. He was never suspended, and obviously kept under contract.

It was accused that McMahon tried to use Grant as a s*xual pawn during contract negotiations with the WWE...

John Cena is making the most out of his final tour as a professional wrestler and took the Montreal fans by storm during SmackDown on Friday night. As he entered and hyped up the thousands of fans in the crowd, he received one of the most thunderous welcomes from the crowd. During his promo, the fans united in chanting “Thank You Cena”, which made the WWE star emotional.

He received a standing ovation from the 13,000 people present at the Centre Bell in Montreal. He slightly teared up at the love and support he received from the crowd, making it a memorable SmackDown night for Cena.

He literally had tears in his eyes, 13,000 people chanting "Thank you Cena"...

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.

Friday Night SmackDown this week was power-packed, intense, and jaw-dropping to the core. John Cena featured in the main event of the night as he faced Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre in a tag team match along with Cody Rhodes. The clash between them turned out to be disastrous for Cena and Rhodes, even though they won on technical grounds. Cena is now bound for a match against Logan Paul at Clash in Paris.

The blue roster witnessed intense action after a scintillating SummerSlam 2025. The road to Clash in Paris is now on, and its upcoming WWE storylines are taking shape for the event. What remains to be seen is how the drama unfolds before the consequential night.

The match between John Cena and Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2025 was a hot topic, featuring a spectacle of a street fight, marked by Brock Lesnar’s return. However, fans were visibly upset with how poorly the entire match was booked, making the challenger destined to win the Undisputed WWE Championship. Worse than that, Rhodes made the Goat’s finisher look like a joke.

During the match, Cena executed a total of 8 Attitude Adjustments to Cody Rhodes, including one on the announcer’s table, on the ramp, and an Avalanche AA, but to everyone’s surprise, he kicked out. The whole match looked like a joke because this is the same move that has defeated the likes of Aj Styles, Randy Orton, Dwayne Johnson, Big Show, and many more.

What made it frustrating was that the move not only lost its essence, but also how a double Cross Rhodes was enough to put away the champ.

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.

John Cena has yet to win one prestigious title in the WWE, the Intercontinental Championship. And since he missed out on this recognition, he is one of the few WWE longtimers to not have a Grand Slam in his career. After winning his record 17th Championship title at WrestleMania 41 this year, Cena would love to add a Grand Slam title to the mix as well.

In WWE, the Grand Slam Championship is an honor bestowed upon wrestlers who have won at least four certain titles in their career. Interestingly, a wrestler must have achieved the Triple Crown Championship by winning three titles to achieve the Grand Slam with the fourth one. However, only winning the WWE Championship would earn you the Triple Crown title.

So, what does he need to become a Grand Slam Champion? According to the modern rules, a WWE wrestler should have held the following titles to...

Just a couple of hours ago, WWE dropped the news of a new collaboration deal struck with the sports broadcast giant ESPN. This will give them the rights to broadcast all major PLEs that WWE will schedule, starting with WrestleMania 42 from 2026.

As stated in the ESPN official press release, WWE will produce the events for all ESPN platforms, serving as exclusive U.S. distributors, while Netflix will still retain the rights to broadcast the collective product internationally. The deal is reported to be worth a whopping $1.6 billion for 5 years starting 2026.

Following the news, stars like John Cena and Triple H took to their socials and talked about this deal in more detail, while Roman Reigns and PatMcAfee also had words to share.

If there was one thing that the fans did not expect at WWE SummerSlam 2025, it was the return of the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar. Lesnar returned at the end of the Ple and F5’ed John Cena to set up a potential rivalry coming our way. In the post-match press conference, Hunter opened up on the return of Lesnar and said that it was John Cena’s wishlist that they were fulfilling.

Much to Hunter’s shock, Cena opened up, stating that he had no hand in choosing who his opponent will be. He has always been an advocate of the fact that anyone whom WWE sends his way, he will lock horns with him, work out the best possible presentation and ensure that the fans get the best. The contrast in statements from both ends has incensed the fans, with them highlighting that Hunter could have actually done better.

WWE pulled off a shocking end to SummerSlam 2025 with the return of Brock Lesnar. He immediately targeted his old rival, John Cena, and left him lying in the ring. Following that, Triple H’s post-show statement hinted at the fact that Cena had personally asked for Lesnar’s return.

The former WWE Champion finally broke his silence on the subject days later in an interview on Adam’s Apple. Cena’s statement was somewhat different and seemingly exposed the big lie Triple H fed to the fans after SummerSlam.

John Cena’s Statement Exposes Triple H’s Lie Regarding Brock Lesnar’s Return John Cena on WWE TV/ Credits: WWE

Triple H appeared on the WWE SummerSlam post-show panel outside MetLife Stadium. He discussed the show’s outcome and addressed Brock Lesnar’s shocking return, who came back after two years, after he was linked to Janel Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon.

Both John Cena and the audience were left with their mouths hanging wide open on the second night of ‘SummerSlam’ a few days ago as Brock Lesnar made his re-entry into WWE. Lots of people have said lots of things about the surprising return, but now, we finally know what John Cena thinks about it.

While talking to ‘Adam’s Apple‘ out on the street for a short interview, Cena was asked, “When you saw him [Lesnar] there, what was going through your mind?”

Cena simply replied,

I’ve been saying this for 25 years. They deal my play. I’m just really excited. We got like 12 of these things left. I think ‘SummerSlam’ was an indication from the audience where everybody kind of knows we’re closing our book. And just because I close my book in December, that doesn’t mean the WWE closes its books. They have to continue their programming going forward.

Fans believe that the parent company, Tko, is trying to push out the Chief Content Officer of WWE, Triple H, from his position in eighteen months. Paul Levesque and his wife Stephanie McMahon are the last remaining links between the company and its founders, the McMahon family. It appears that the push to oust Triple H comes after creative differences with The Rock.

The prediction about Triple H’s exit comes from wrestling analyst Jonathan Coachman, who claimed that the WWE Cco might be pushed out of Tko. Speaking on The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast, Coachman shared that there was a power struggle inside Tko due to tension between Triple H and Dwayne Johnson. He shared:

From my time there and my time with The Rock, I know for a fact that he does not get along with Triple H. That does not go away. They’ve...

Bayley is one of the biggest women’s stars in WWE right now, and a lot of the credit for her success goes to none other than Cody Rhodes’ dad, the legendary Dusty Rhodes. Over the years, Bayley has talked many times about how much Dusty influenced her and how grateful she is for everything he taught her.

He was like a mentor to her, especially when it came to building confidence and improving her promos. She really grew as a performer and a wrestler under his guidance.

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...

LA Knight had risen quickly in WWE, but he was once known as Max Dupri and even had a sister, Maxxine Dupri, when they were both members of the faction Maximum Male Models. This left the WWE Universe scratching their heads, wondering if the two WWE Superstars were related to each other. After all, having onscreen relationships is a big part of the kayfabe world of the wrestling business.

They were only playing their roles of onscreen siblings before cutting ties with ma.cé & månsôör and reverting to being LA Knight (via YouTube), becoming a singles wrestler. This once again left her in a precarious position because the trio was not good enough to be comedic figures, and with Knight’s departure, they became one of the many faces in the crowd.

After a chaotic, story-heavy Night 1, WWE returned to MetLife Stadium for the second half of its ambitious two-night SummerSlam event. Night 2 focused more on emotional storytelling and satisfying conclusions, though, true to WWE form, it still delivered one last gut-punch surprise before the lights went out.

Things kicked off with a fast-paced Triple Threat for the Women’s World Championship, with Naomi, Rhea Ripley, and Iyo Sky putting on one of the better opening matches of the year. Naomi retained her title with a clever roll-up after Ripley nailed Sky with a massive avalanche Riptide. It was quick, chaotic, and crisp. After the bell, Ripley’s gesture of lifting an injured Sky onto her back earned her huge cheers, an unexpected emotional beat that set the tone for the rest of the night.

Next up, Becky Lynch defended her Women’s Intercontinental Title in a brutal no-disqualification match against Lyra Valkyria.

Tyler Bate was easily one of the most promising stars in WWE, but weak storylines and no real character development really held him back. He kicked things off strong as the first-ever WWE United Kingdom Champion and showed insane in-ring talent, especially in that classic match with Pete Dunne at Nxt TakeOver.

He had the skills and the charisma. But instead of capitalizing on that momentum, WWE kept him stuck in Nxt UK for way too long, wasting most of his prime years. They didn’t move him up to Nxt or the main roster fast enough, and to make things worse, he never really got a solid storyline to work with. It’s like they didn’t know what to do with him.

Brock Lesnar, the WWE star, just stormed back into the wrestling spotlight at SummerSlam, because of course he did, and while fans are still recovering from the chaos, it’s a great time to talk about the powerhouse behind The Beast.

His wife, Rena Marlette Greek, also known as Sable, isn’t some mystery woman behind the scenes; she’s actually a total legend on her own. Before Lesnar was body-slamming opponents into next week, Sable was actually already dominating the WWE ring in the ‘90s and early 2000s with her signature swagger, bold attitude, and a level of glam-meets-grit the Diva division hadn’t seen before.

While the two have been married since 2006 and kept things very private, wrestling fans know Sable’s influence runs truly deep. Honestly, she was one of the biggest female stars in WWE’s history and helped pave the way for future generations. So,...

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...

Brock Lesnar had a special synergy with Vince McMahon. This is evident from the remarks he made about him at the Pat McAfee Show, where he stated that the former head of WWE is ‘more as a father figure.’ The Beast Incarnate, who shocked WWE fans with his return, always had great dynamics with the WWE hierarchy.

These sensational remarks from him gave wrestling enthusiasts the sense that Vince McMahon is heard covertly in the WWE. No matter how hard Triple H and his associates try, the stature of some WWE superstars is beyond them.

Before his surprise return to WWE at SummerSlam 2025, Brock Lesnar’s last appearance came at the 2023 edition of the same event, where he was defeated by Cody Rhodes in a dramatic showdown.

Brock Lesnar just made his big return to WWE after being away for a while, and honestly, we can’t help but notice a pattern in his comebacks always seem to involve John Cena. Over the years, Lesnar’s dipped in and out of WWE, but every time he shows back up, somehow Cena’s right in the middle of it.

The latest example was at SummerSlam 2025, where Lesnar stormed back and went straight after Cena, sending the crowd into a frenzy. And the wild part? This isn’t even the first time something like this has gone down.

Brock Lesnar’s been coming and going from WWE for years now, but there’s always been one constant in his returns: John Cena. It’s almost like a tradition at this point.

The SummerSlam 2025 event saw some thrilling moments, including the return of Brock Lesnar to the ring. Lesnar returned to the ring two years after his match with Cody Rhodes. He was caught up in the allegations that shook WWE and outed its former CEO, Vince McMahon. However, it appears that he was cleared by WWE, and his return surely elevated the event.

Fans should probably cherish the Beast’s return, as reports suggest that it could be his final few days with the company. It was reported that he could retire from WWE next year at SummerSlam, months after John Cena says goodbye to the company. @WrestleCourt shared that the event will be held in his hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

‘SummerSlam’ Night 2 left fans in utter shock when Brock Lesnar returned to the ring after two years of being M.I.A. However, he was not alone. Along with him, he brought conversations about Janel Grant’s s*xual harassment lawsuit against Vince McMahon, in which he was later name-dropped.

Fans raised questions about Lesnar’s sudden return and what it meant for his legal troubles. Many guessed that the Beast Incarnate was cleared of any wrongdoing, and it looks like that is the truth.

Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer opened up about Lesnar’s return on ‘Wrestling Observer Radio‘, where he stated that WWE Legal cleared him weeks before ‘SummerSlam’. In his words,

The short version is that four weeks ago WWE Legal cleared him. As far as ‘Why?’ I don’t know. That’s something to speculate on. There’s a lot of stuff…Everything relates to the Janel Grant lawsuit.

SummerSlam 2025 ended in a shocker, with Brock Lesnar making his unanticipated return to the company after 2 long years. The MetLife Stadium was on its feet, erupting into“holy s**t” chants. However, Lesnar’s comeback wasn’t him getting unbanned but was part of a special request made by John Cena, who happens to be “writing the last chapter of his book.”

During the SummerSlam post-show (via YouTube), the Cco shared that the 17-time WWE Champion is the writer of his final chapter, and he would retire the way he wants to. He emphasized the fact that Cena intends to have a “wishlist” of opponents and wants to face them before he retires at the end of the year. He said,

This is John Cena’s wishlist. John Cena’s… It’s him writing the last chapter of his book, and I think people saw a conversation with us where...

John Cena lost his prized possession, the WWE Championship title, to Cody Rhodes during Sunday night’s SummerSlam event. But he still has a huge support system in the form of his wife. Shay Shariatzadeh was ringside when the Cenation Leader gracefully accepted his defeat and raised Rhodes’ hand up in the air to denote his victory.

His wife teared up at her husband’s gesture. We can make a good guess that those are not tears of sadness that her husband lost the championship title. They are more like tears of happiness at what Cena has achieved this year, up until SummerSlam. Cena received overwhelming love from the audience, as this was his last appearance at the PPV show before his retirement.

wait this is so sweet...

Almost all of Superman's biggest surprises leaked online in advance, but John Cena's Peacemaker cameo was one of the few not revealed before the movie swooped into theaters last month.

Christopher Smith was featured on a talk show, tearing into the Man of Tomorrow after the world learned why his parents had really sent him to Earth. It was a fun moment for fans, and tied into Peacemaker's disdain and jealousy for the superheroes who have shunned his attempts to be like them.

In a newly released video, Cena breaks his silence on appearing in Superman, revealing that it was a last-minute decision made by Gunn while he was getting ready to start shooting Peacemaker season 2.

"I was called in at the final hour as we were preparing for Peacemaker season 2," the WWE Superstar explained. "I did the costume fittings for the new Peacemaker season 2 wardrobe. They were filming Superman at the time,...

Out of all the things that happened at SummerSlam, the return of Brock Lesnar was the biggest surprise that WWE could have given to his fans. Despite The Beast’s return, which was already hinted at by Triple H, it turns out he was not the only mastermind who made the PPV so memorable, as John Cena did his fair share of creative work behind the scenes.

However, he was not only working his brains but also took quite a beating during his main event, where he lost his Undisputed WWE Championship. During the SummerSlam post-show (via YouTube), Paul Levesque told how John Cena is “writing the last chapter of his book” and is completing his “wishlist” to retire the way he intends to. He said,

This is John Cena’s wishlist. John Cena’s… It’s him writing the last chapter of his book, and I think people saw...

Vince McMahon‘s legal troubles continued when WWE’s former employee, Janel Grant, filed a lawsuit against him and former Head of Talent Relations, John Laurinaitis, claiming that McMahon had s*xually assaulted and trafficked her. Recently, wrestler Brock Lesnar was also name-dropped in the complaint.

The original complaint made by Grant claimed that McMahon had offered her as a “s*xual pawn to entice world-famous wrestling talent” in 2021 (via Courthouse News), but the name was kept under wraps. However, an amended complaint filed earlier this year identified the mystery wrestler as Brock Lesnar (via ESPN).

Lesnar has not been listed as a defendant in the lawsuit, and McMahon’s attorney Jessica Rosenberg released a statement calling the amended complaint “nothing more than the latest publicity stunt in an ongoing smear campaign.”

She added, “It is filled with desperate falsehoods from a team that continues to disregard the law and the truth.

John Cena surprised the entire WWE Universe with a heartfelt moment after losing his title to Cody Rhodes and getting taken out by Brock Lesnar. As he was heading backstage, his music started playing, but Cena asked for it to be cut so he could just hear the crowd and take in the energy from the fans during what looked like his final SummerSlam.

It really felt like Cena was soaking in the moment and missing the days of being the good guy. He never fully fit the heel role, and honestly, it just wasn’t him. Now that he’s back as a baby face, you can tell he’s enjoying every bit of it, living in the moment and making the most of his final run in the promotion.

SummerSlam 2025 shocks fans with Brock Lesnar’s return. The beast incarnate returned to deliver a strong statement by thrashing John Cena. This development was particularly surprising because earlier, WWE indicated that they might never bring him back. His return thus serves to reaffirm that he has been exonerated of any wrongdoing in the Janel Grant case, which had previously clouded his professional reputation.

Brock Lesnar’s return sparked new excitement in the WWE universe. It added intensity in Night 2 of SummerSlam 2025. As wrestling enthusiasts analyze the significance of his return, fans are left questioning whether he truly had no involvement in the infamous case.

The Beast Incarnate is finally back, and what a return it was! Brock Lesnar has been absent inside the WWE ring since 2023, following the Janel Grant lawsuit against Vince McMahon, where alleged comments were made about him. This legal suit broke the hearts of the fans, as they believed that the future of the former UFC Champion is uncertain and that he would never again send unfortunate souls to Suplex City.

In last year’s press conference following WrestleMania Xl, Paul “Triple H” Levesque dropped hints out in the open about how he is still part of the company. The comments did not make much sense at that time and felt more like damage control, giving a ray of hope to the fans anticipating his return.

WWE SummerSlam 2025 ended on one of the most shocking notes of all time. Following one of the most captivating showdowns in WWE history between John Cena and Cody Rhodes, the audience in MetLife Stadium witnessed the return of Brock Lesnar, exactly two years after his last appearance at WWE SummerSlam.

The Beast Incarnate’s entry sent shockwaves across the entire company. It was a sight no one expected, considering Lesnar’s alleged involvement in the Vince McMahon Janel Grant lawsuit, which was a roadblock for his return. However, after this night, the landscape of the WWE has been drastically altered.

The main event of WWE SummerSlam 2025 saw John Cena defend the Undisputed WWE title against Cody Rhodes in a Street Fight. It was one of the most intriguing and captivating matches of all time that exceeded all expectations.

WWE SummerSlam Night 2 is officially over, and we have a lot to talk about. John Cena finally lost his championship to Cody Rhodes in an absolute thriller of a match. But the biggest shock came right after, when Brock Lesnar showed up out of nowhere and attacked Cena out of the blue.

The night was full of surprises, like Bayley jumping into the fight between Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria, and the chaos during the Jacob Fatu vs. Solo Sikoa match with the Mft and Jimmy Uso getting involved. It was one twist after another all night long.

Honestly, after the amazing show Triple H put on for Night 1, we had a feeling Night 2 would be just as wild, and it didn’t disappoint. Triple H started the show with one simple promise that Night 2 was gonna be bigger, better, and make Night 1 look like just a warm-up, and it...

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.

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 rich history of unforgettable SummerSlam moments goes on and on, from the remarkable display of technical wrestling between Bret Hart and Mr. Perfect in 1991, to Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon’s iconic ladder match in1995, to Brock Lesnar and The Rock’s battle in 2001.

Along with WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series, SummerSlam is one of WWE’s big four premium live events, and this year it gets even larger, shifting into a two-night event for the first time ever. There’ll be plenty of championship gold on the line as well as matchups that’ve been months in the making, some of which are ripple effects from WrestleMania 41 and prior.

In what will be the final SummerSlam for WWE legend John Cena, he’ll have a highly-anticipated WrestleMania rematch against Cody Rhodes, this time in a Street Fight.

Twisted Metal's Sweet Tooth actor shares the acting advice he received from wrestling legend Dave Bautista. With the upcoming premiere of Twisted Metal season 2 landing July 31 on Peacock, one of the show's stars, Joe Seanoa, known to wrestling fans as Samoa Joe, will be returning as the chaotic Sweet Tooth. The former child star turned killer clown has been featured prominently in a main cast role, and Joe's return ensures the chaos will continue.

Seanoa is not the first professional wrestler turned actor, joining the likes of John Cena, Dwayne Johnson, and Dave Bautista. During a set visit with ScreenRant's Brennan Klein, and ahead of Twisted Metal's season 2 premiere, Seanoa broke down the best piece of advice Bautista gave him when entering acting: "Just keep your eyes and ears open." Check out the full advice below:

He said… ‘Just keep eyes and ears open. Just absorb as much...

Hulk Hogan passed away at the age of 71 due to a cardiac arrest on July 24. He was at his Florida residence when paramedics were called for an emergency. His family later confirmed the news. Hogan made his professional wrestling debut in 1977 and joined the WWE (then WWF) in 1979. In no time, he became the most popular star in the sport.

Hulk Hogan was the face of WWE when they kick-started WrestleMania. He was the baby face of WWE at the time. He won six heavyweight championships with the company, helping to achieve mainstream status for the company. However, he wasn’t the most pleasant star to work with in the WWE.

Many wrestlers had a problem with Hogan outside of the ring. Some of the legends who worked with him back in the day have shared stories about nightmare experiences with the Hulkster. Here are a few wrestlers who did...

Hulk Hogan, who passed away at the age of 71, headlined 1993’s Mr. Nanny, which might’ve accidentally shaped Dwayne Johnson‘s Hollywood run in the years to come. Standing on a minuscule 6% Tomatometer score, the movie was both a critical and commercial flop upon its release, and did little to extend his career as a potential movie star.

Johnson, on the flip side, was able to break the cycle of pro-wrestlers failing to break into Hollywood, and his approach to the business likely stemmed from the failure of Hogan’s 1993 family comedy.

Mr. Nanny Was the Antithesis of Dwayne Johnson’s Hollywood Run

Mr. Nanny featured Hulk Hogan in the role of a former pro wrestler turned nanny and bodyguard for two kids. Unfortunately, instead of propelling Hogan’s career as the family-friendly movie star, the movie was panned by critics and general audiences.

Legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan, who recently passed away following a cardiac arrest (via TMZ), had once sued a website that published his leaked s*x tape back in 2012.

The case was on trial, and Hulk Hogan appeared for a significant amount of time. It was a rare sight to see him in a suit in court, but the former wrestler had to get his truth out.

The leaked s*x tape featured Hulk Hogan and Heather Clem, the ex-wife of his estranged best friend. The tape had some severe consequences on the wrestler‘s career and impacted his personal life, and as a result, the retired wrestler decided to sue Gawker (the website).

Vince McMahon will always remain one of the most prominent figures in professional wrestling, despite his unceremonious exit from WWE in 2024. In the years he was building the company from ground, McMahon got connected to equally powerful and wealthy business personnel in the process.

One of those people is the current President-Elect of the United States of America, Donald Trump, who slapped him on WWE live television. The business tycoon turned politician has been an influential name in his own right and is a widely known wrestling fan for many years. Possibly that was the reason that forged a friendship between him and McMahon.

It has been more than two decades since WWE made one of the biggest and yet one of the most subtle changes in all time. They changed the company name, which piqued the fancy of the kids back then, but it all happened for a reason. WWE, the biggest pro-wrestling giant of all time had to bow down and Vince McMahon, despite knowing it all, had no other choices remaining.

Back in the day, a popular belief that was fuelled by the switch in the name of the company was that from real-life wrestling, it would turn to entertainment. However, the entertainment was all along. It is just that the name chosen by the authority fell short in what was a legal battle and McMahon happily made the switch.

Vince McMahon...

Brock Lesnar has been under the radar ever since his name was linked to a dreadful lawsuit filed against Vince McMahon. The former WWE Chairman was accused of s*x trafficking and s*xual misconduct by former WWE employee, Janel Grant. This came as a horrific revelation and tarnished McMahon’s reputation for good measure, who still earned close to $250 million amidst the case.

Moreover, Lesnar’s name was also linked to the case at the height of his WWE career. Since then, The Beast Incarnate has been absent from the regular television programming, and there are no signs of him returning to the Stamford-based promotion anytime soon.

Think about the people who have been a constant in the WWE throughout the years, and Stephanie McMahon’s name would be right there on top. Others come and go, but she somehow remains associated with the company.

Her father, Vince McMahon, is now officially out of the company after the Janel Grant Lawsuit, and her brother, Shane McMahon, is now retired as a professional wrestler and a WWE executive. But she continues appearing in WWE programming in some capacity or the other.

Her latest appearance inside the squared circle was at WWE Evolution 2025. She not only kick-started the Ple event after a remarkable speech but also interviewed Stephanie Vaquer, who won the 20-woman Battle Royal in what was a standout moment of the event. As refreshing as it was to see Stephanie McMahon back at WWE Evolution, the most noticeable feature was that she has not lost an iota of her charisma and attitude.
