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.

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.

After losing to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2025, John Cena was seen whispering something to the American Nightmare, which made him emotional. Cena was asked about those words during an interaction with Adam’s Apple. Choosing discretion, the Cenation leader made it clear that the conversation that took place between them at MetLife Stadium would remain a secret.

Several factors could have contributed to the fact that the 17-time World Champion decided to keep it a secret between him and Rhodes. However, no one denies the fact that emotions were running high for both WWE superstars following a historic clash between them.

In February 2025, YouTube turned 20. The video site has gone through a lot over the past two decades, including an acquisition, an earnings glow-up, and multiple generations of star creators. In our 20 Years of YouTube series, we’ll examine the uploads, trends, and influencers that have defined the world’s favorite video site — one year at a time. Click here for a full archive of the series.

In 2018, Matthew Patrick surpassed ten million subscribers on his Game Theorists YouTube channel, and his wife Stephanie gave birth to the couple’s first child. Despite achieving those personal milestones, the man known as MatPat described the penultimate year of the 2010s as “the hardest year of my life” — and Defy Media was one of the biggest reasons why.

That description comes from a video MatPat posted in January 2019. Two months earlier, Defy had abruptly closed its doors, leaving dozens of employees and creators in the lurch.

Jelly Roll knows about his online trolls. The musician jokingly debuted an anthemic new song, recorded during his guest-hosting stint on Jimmy Kimmel Live last month, about all of the haters who are talking trash about him.

The clip sees Jelly Roll crooning a power ballad about “these hating ass bitches on the Internet.” He then puts a melody to a series of mean tweets, like “Being forced to listen to Jelly Roll and it sucks” and “Jelly Roll looks like a meth addict grabbed a microphone.” He gets the...

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.

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 much-hyped battle between Jelly Roll and Logan Paul finally hit the ring Saturday at WWE’s SummerSlam event, where the country singer and tag team partner Randy Orton faced off against the social media provocateur and his partner Drew McIntyre.

The fight, which was set up over a month ago on Smackdown and was heavily promoted since then, marked Jelly Roll’s first official match as a wrestler after making a handful of appearances at WWE events over the past year.

Jelly Roll — who claimed he broke his pinky...

Jelly Roll’s journey through remarkable weight loss has been inspiring people within the professional wrestling community and beyond. The change in the overall appearance of the musician-turned-wrestler has been breathtaking. He revealed during an interaction with Pat McAfee at Big Night Aht live that he nearly lost 200 pounds during this transformative journey.

But it took a lot of sweat, tears, discipline, and motivation to be in the kind of shape he is now before his high-stakes clash at SummerSlam 2025. He has surfaced as an example that with hardwork and determination, nothing is impossible.

Finally, the biggest event of the summer, SummerSlam, has kicked off, and Cardi B did an amazing job hyping up the crowd present at the MetLife Stadium. The artist, who also happens to be the host of the two-night exclusive PPV, brought wildness as she showcased her eccentric personality, leaving us excited for what Night 1 has in store.

However, the excitement soon turned into whispers when eagle-eyed WWE fans quickly noticed that B was reading lines as she interacted with the fans present in the venue. Nevertheless, they were quick to point it out, taking it to social media and trolling her for reading from a script.

The recent edition of Friday Night SmackDown was consequential. Several major developments took place at the blue roster right before WWE SummerSlam 2025, which established the undertone for the high-stakes event. However, some epic scenes continued to feature even after the show went off-air. These included the WWE universe hooked onto the ‘voices in the head’ of Randy Orton and the return of an epic tag team.

These shocking turns of events after the show went off-air solidify the fact that WWE is much more than what happens on the screen. The developments inside the squared circle after the camera went off were simply breathtaking. We provide you with insights into these segments. A true WWE fan is bound to savor them forever.

The wrestling world lost its biggest star when Terry “Hulk Hogan” Bollea passed away on July 24, 2025, at age 71. What started as a routine morning at his Florida home turned tragic when paramedics rushed him to the hospital following a cardiac arrest. By 11:17 a.m., the man who once seemed invincible was gone.

But here’s what really shocked everyone: autopsy documents revealed Hogan had been secretly battling serious health conditions that most fans never knew about. The guy who told millions of kids to eat their vitamins had been hiding a devastating fight against blood cancer and heart problems that ultimately claimed his life.

These high salaries have elevated many of them to become some of the top earners in the company, underscoring their star power and influence within the organization.

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.

As the creator economy has grown, more people have cited the influencer profession as their dream job. On the surface, the creator lifestyle seems glamorous, but success on platforms like YouTube requires a rare combination of hard work, persistence, luck, and patience — and 2018 was the year when we found out just how hard the job can be.

13 years into YouTube’s existence, its culture had evolved. Its tentpole and viral video eras were long gone, and the creators who defined the site’s...

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.

Since Travis Scott’s very first appearance at the 2025 Elimination Chamber, fans have been under the impression that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was responsible for bringing him in. This resonated poorly among wrestling fanatics, sending word-shaped bullets his way. However, with the rapper’s fallout with the company, more drama keeps stirring the pot.

Recently, at The Stevie Richards Show, Stevie Richards took the internet by storm, where he ripped apart Ari Emanuel, the co-founder of Tko Group Holdings, accusing him of making a move that was nothing but a favor for one of his best friends.

Literally an indie promoter saying, ‘Put over one of my best friends on the show and make him a star because it’s I Emanuel.’ And I can’t believe—usually in wrestling, when somebody like I, Emanuel, is in power and everybody’s kind of puckered up trying to just plate him...

Drew McIntyre is one of the most recognized faces in the world of professional wrestling. Following his roaring success as a WWE superstar, The Scottish Warrior has been living with his wife, Kaitlyn Frohnapfel in the United States of America for a number of years now.

However, in a recent turn of events, Drew McIntyre now finds himself stuck in a foreign country away from his wife, as he revealed in a video on X. He took a short trip outside the United States for personal reasons, right after SmackDown last week. With this new complication, there is now a chance that McIntyre might not make it back in time for the upcoming 2025 WWE SummerSlam Ple.

While many shows from the past have been making comebacks with reboots and revivals, Celebrity Deathmatch is one that still has yet to make a return to the small screen. If you ask creator Eric Fogel, the time is now, as he believes Celebrity Deathmatch could be bigger than ever before in 2025.

Per People, Fogel reflected on creating Celebrity Deathmatch in a new interview, 28 years after he first pitched the series to MTV. He explained how he grew up as a fan of stop-motion animation, particularly Ray Harryhausen movies, along with other claymation TV shows of the era. As an adult, he started to see the potential in doing something with stop-motion animation, but with more of a rough edge.

"As I grew older, I became aware that there was maybe a market for a more adult animated content, and I thought that stop-motion animation in that adult space felt like unmarked territory,...

As Y2K nostalgia continues to dominate elements of Hollywood, one pop culture sensation of the era could make a comeback.

Following “a few false starts” over the years, Celebrity Deathmatch creator Eric Fogel recently discussed the possibility of rebooting his claymation series that originally ran on MTV from 1998 to 2002.

“That’s the beauty of the show — it’s timeless. These matches are iconic,” he told People. “You could literally open Google and type a few words, and you’ll get a whole bunch of new Celebrity Deathmatch ideas. It’s an evergreen concept.

“I was just browsing this morning. Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel hate each other. You know, Will Smith and Chris Rock probably still hate each other? Taylor Swift and Kanye West is still a match I’d like to visit in the ring. It feels like there are still some unresolved issues there.”

Fogel continued, “It’s such a fertile,...

The July 25th edition of WWE SmackDown was one to remember for the WWE Universe, including some of the greatest matches featuring the greatest wrestlers in SmackDown’s locker room. The live event took place at Rocket Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. Tonight’s segment kicked off with a more emotional side, as it was the first episode to take place after the tragic passing of the wrestling icon, Hulk Hogan.

The night of remembering showcased the entire locker room paying their final respects to the legend and the creator of the infectiously famous “Hulkamania.” However, the tribute did not stop the show from being full of high-flying action, and events that add more matches to August’s PPV, SummerSlam.

Travis Scott was destined to be the next big thing in WWE, but his WWE journey didn’t quite turn out the way the rapper would have wanted it to, and he has no one but himself to blame for the mess he is in. Scott promised Triple H that he would be back in the ring soon, but that promise seems more distant than ever.

Dave Meltzer recently opened up on Travis Scott’s position in the company, claiming that there has been a complete fallout between the music star and the biggest wrestling promotion in the world. Scott was replaced from the 2k25 Dlc by El Grande Americano and by Alestair back in the WrestleMania 41 pack, despite Black not even competing in the event. This confirms that things are not good between WWE and Travis Scott, further cementing the fact that his promise to Triple H of a WWE return is in jeopardy.

Terry Bollea, popularly known as Hulk Hogan, changed the entire landscape of pro wrestling. In what was a tragic unfolding, the pro-wrestling icon, Hulk Hogan, passed away last night at the age of 71. With tributes pouring in from all corners of the world, it is going to be an emotional goodbye for the Hulkster. Hogan didn’t just have his roots in wrestling but he also extended them to movies and later in his life, the food and beverage industry. His ‘Real American Beer’ was a fan favourite.

Despite a few controversies surrounding him, he left a lasting legacy on the fabric of professional wrestling. The Grandest Shows of All, WrestleMania found its true flight riding high on the back of the Hulkster, who main-evented the first eight of its iterations. From locking horns with King Kong Bundy to rocking the ring with the Ultimate Warrior, Hogan was always driving major pops.

Terry Gene Bollea, better known as Hulk Hogan to WWE fans, has passed away at the age of 71. It was reported that medics were called to his Florida residence on Thursday morning after the controversial wrestler suffered from cardiac arrest. After TMZ initially reported the death, his family later confirmed his death to Us Weekly.

Earlier in June, speculations arose that he was on his deathbed after surgery. YouTuber Bubba The Love Sponge claimed during a stream that Hogan was in a critical condition. However, representatives for Hogan shared at the time that there were “no reasons to panic” (via E! News).

They shared that he had undergone a neck surgery procedure and that it “has indeed been successful.” Earlier, a rep told TMZ that Hogan needed a “little fusion procedure.” His wife, Sky Daily, also confirmed that Hogan was in better health at the time. She denied the rumors...

13 years into our retrospective look at YouTube history, we’ve arrived at what is arguably the most pivotal video the platform has ever produced. It’s not “me at the zoo,” it’s not “Gangnam Style,” and if the star of the video in question had behaved himself, it wouldn’t have been anything notable at all.

The fights made for an entertaining talk show segment, harkening back to the days when Andy Kaufman was making late-night noise with his foray into wrestling. In the first year of Late Night with David Letterman, Kaufman’s fighting led to that season's most newsworthy episode.

Ksi is not amongst those who turn the other way at the face of a contest. Be it the time when he fought other influencers inside the boxing ring, or when he tried his hand at exploring business opportunities. So, when WWE decided to turn down his request to use Christian’s theme song at Fanatics Fest, he attempted to revive it himself by doing something unthinkable these days.

The co-owner of Prime Hydration was one of the key figures at the Fanatics Fest. His love and admiration for WWE superstars became evident even before he arrived on the centre stage, because WWE entrance music was all that was in his mind while he was gearing up for the appearance. The best part? When he revived the largely forgotten, remarkable music designed for Christian’s arrival inside the squared circle.

WWE is up to some unprecedented developments in recent times. One such moment occurred during the recent edition of Friday Night SmackDown. The pipe bomb promo delivered by Cm Punk was a thorn in the legacy of John Cena. In some ways, he tried to heal his wounds by throwing a similar attack against the Second City Saint, who was defenseless this time around.

But while most WWE fans noticed the scathing remarks and similarities between the two pipe bomb promos, there was some substance as well, beyond the rhetoric. John Cena blamed Cm Punk for destroying three careers in the WWE, which left WWE enthusiasts wondering whether it had some truth to it.
