After initially being designated as a glorified tax write-off, Warner Bros has changed its mind on Coyote vs. Acme, the new hybrid Looney Tunes film starring John Cena. Changing courses Puck News is now reporting that Warner Bros has completely changed course. They will now allow the filmmakers and those involved to shop the film […]

In AEW, there’s MJF, and then there’s everybody else. Sure, the promotion has other stars, some of whom are very popular inside the ring – Kenny Omega, Christian Cage, Darby Allin – and some who are popular outside of it – Ric Flair, Adam Copeland, Saraya – but when you look at the premier storylines […]

Death, taxes, and Roman Reigns retaining his title; some things are truly inevitable. Heading into Crown Jewel, LA Knight said and did all the right things. He shot his shot on the mic, did media rounds, and even kissed a few babies for good measure in the hopes of proving he could be the guy […]

Heading into Crown Jewel, John Cena had something more important than a title to defend in the ring when he went face to face with the Enforcer of The Bloodline, Solo Sikoa: Pride. That’s right, after failing to secure a singles win this decade, with his losing streak extending back five years at this point, […]

After taking a Samoan Spike to the throat on the previous edition of SmackDown, a maneuver designed by Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman to take away the biggest weapon from their foe’s arsenal, John Cena was booked for a face-to-face segment with the “Street Champ” on the go-home edition of the Blue Brand. Would Cena […]

When fans compare a wrestler to Shawn Michaels, it’s usually because they’re a dynamic, charismatic cruiserweight who can talk, wrestler, and play some Sweet Chin Music with a well-placed Superkick for good measure, too. But in John Cena’s opinion, that’s only part of what made HBK so darn special. Sitting down for an interview with […]

While John Cena goes by a lot of different names as a member of the WWE Universe, from “The Face That Runs the Place,” to the “Doctor of Thuganomics” and even the “Champ,” the moniker utilized most as of late is simply “The GOAT,” aka the greatest of all time. On paper, it makes sense, […]

Though it may be hard to remember now, as John Cena is so beyond over at this point as fans soak up his final act in the squared circle, there was a time last decade when “Cena Sucks” chants would overshadow “Let’s Go Cena” declarations routinely, sometimes by a pretty considerable margin. Now granted, in […]

After lamenting his singles losing streak to the WWE Universe on the previous edition of SmackDown, leading to an attack by The Bloodline, John Cena decided to get candid on the Blue Brand once more, letting fans know that he doesn’t know how much longer his body can go at a high level. Now sure, […]

When John Cena made his return to WWE in 2023, it turned heads across the promotion, from champions like Roman Reigns and Austin Theory to young stars like Grayson Waller and even performers in the middle like Baron Corbin, who once famously wrestled “The Face That Runs the Place” at SummerSlam 2017. Would Cena take […]

Taken star Liam Neeson and Freelance star John Cena are “totally different.” That may not sound surprising, but Pierre Morel would know. The French filmmaker has worked with both now by directing Taken and Freelance. A point brought up to Morel during his chat with ClutchPoints was that Neeson was in his fifties at the […]

One of the formative movies of my youth was Taken. I was only seven at the time it came out (don’t worry, I didn’t watch it that young), but the Liam Neeson-led thriller changed how I viewed movies. It was a film that I bonded with my dad over — even getting us to endure […]

With his second-ever defense of the NXT Championship officially on the books for Week 2 of Halloween Havoc, Ilja Dragunov followed his challenger, Carmelo Hayes, in having a sitdown interview with lead commentator Vic Joseph about his current place in the WWE Universe, the tough road he took to the promotion, and, most importantly of […]

Randy Orton’s return to WWE is right around the corner, with some reports saying he’ll be back for Survivor Series next month. It’s been well over a year since we’ve last seen Orton in a WWE ring after dealing with a serious back injury, a health issue so bad fans thought maybe he’d have to […]

After securing a huge win over The Bloodline at Fastlane, John Cena had to know he was going to be interrupted in the opening segment of SmackDown, right? I mean, the “Head of the Table,” Roman Reigns was in attendance, and as Michael Cole and Corey Graves pointed out on commentary, he likely wasn’t too […]

After taking a big loss to NXT in the ratings battle, 921,000 to 609,000, fans wondered how Tony Khan would handle the situation. Would the AEW CEO, who talked a lot of smack heading into the show, address the situation with grace, thanking fans for watching and vowing to get ’em next time? Or would […]

Why was John Cena on the 10/10 edition of NXT? Well, there are two reasons actually, one Kayfabe, on not so much. What Cena, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, HBK, and the rest of the WWE higher-ups would like you to believe is that, for some reason, about a half dozen Hall of Famers, current and […]

Though he hasn’t been on television in a minute, since January’s RAW XXX, to be exact, it’s hard to imagine a world where Hulk Hogan isn’t a member of the WWE Universe. One of the true living legends of the sport, with a legacy that became all the more important when WWE purchased WCW and […]

After securing a massive win over The Bloodline with the help of LA Knight in the penultimate match of Fastlane, John Cena took part in his first media scrum in quite some time and delivered the goods to an audience of media personalities interested in learning about his return to the WWE Universe. Asked a […]

While the goal of every professional wrestling match is technically to secure a win over one’s opponent, oftentimes, there are ulterior motives that can impact the way a match is wrestled, even at a Premium Live Event like Fastlane. Sometimes, a performer wants to simply beat up their foe in the lead-up to an even […]

Though it’s become somewhat overshadowed by Tuesday’s edition of NXT, a show fans have joked has a WrestleMania-esque card, Fastlane has officially landed in the WWE Universe, and fans are beyond hyped to see how the first proper Premium Live Event of the fall shakes out. With just five matches booked for the show, including […]

Why is John Cena back in WWE in 2023? Is it to simply collect a paycheck while his union, SAG-AFTRA, is currently on strike? Or is he instead in pursuit of the Intercontinental Championship, the only title keeping him from becoming a Grand Slam Champion in the WWE Universe under the modern rules? No, the […]

With Fastlane rapidly approaching, LA Knight decided to address the WWE Universe in the opening segment of SmackDown, telling fans how he feels about tag teaming with John Cena, about earning another huge match at a Premium Live Event, and most importantly of all, about The Bloodline, a faction he suddenly has to deal with […]

When John Cena takes the ring for his second Premium Live Event of the year – his third if you count serving as a quest referee for Payback – at Fastlane, he will be standing alongside one of the most unlikely WWE success stories of the last few years: LA Knight. That’s right, unlike Cena, […]

After truly embodying what it means to be a part-time over the past few years, it’s really been nice to have John Cena back as a full-time member of SmackDown over the last month or so. Sure, it’s not like Cena’s been hanging out at home, watching TV and taking a shot anytime his voice […]

After watching his best friend Trick Williams stand in the ring with the man who beat him at No Mercy, Ilja Dragunov, Carmelo Hayes was feeling a certain type of way. Sure, he was happy for his friend, as Trick Willie was happy for him during his title reigns, but after being “Him” in their […]

Now that the WGA strike is over, James Gunn is back writing. The DCU head provided an exciting update for the second season of the John Cena-led Peacemaker series. On October 2, Gunn posted a video from the set of Peacemaker. The video saw Cena playing “Bohemian Rhapsody” on the piano when the cameras were […]

John Cena has a Bloodline problem. After becoming the object of Jey Uso‘s ire pretty much since he returned to the promotion on the SmackDown before Payback, the leader of CeNation has barely had a moment to think within the WWE Universe without a Fatu breathing down his neck, with AJ Styles and The OC […]

After shooting his shot to John Cena and the rest of the WWE Universe that the promotion should book a major Premium Live Event in Australia, Grayson Waller’s wish has been surprisingly granted, sending the entire show Down Under in early 2024, with the Elimination Chamber coming to Optus Stadium in Perth next February. Now […]

James Gunn has revealed a shortlist of actors returning to the DCU. John Cena, Blue Beetle’s star, and an Oscar winner headline the shortlist. It’s being reported that Gunn named Cena, Xolo Maridueña, and Viola Davis will remain in their roles. The three played Peacemaker, Blue Beetle, and Amanda Waller in the DCU (formerly DCEU), […]

The Messi vs. Ronaldo debate has transcended the boundaries of the football world, capturing the imaginations of sports enthusiasts and celebrities alike. It’s an age-old question that continues to divide fans and experts, with opinions leaning one way or the other. Recently, WWE icon John Cena stepped into the ring, so to speak, to weigh […]

LA Knight has been compared to a lot of different Superstars during his time in the WWE; to some, he’s a clone of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Others compare him to “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, and others still believe he’s nothing more than The Miz 2.0, even if that faction is largely made up of […]

After watching one of the more eventful Smackdowns in recent memory, the fans in Denver, Colorado, were treated to an incredible main event segment: “The GOAT” himself, John Cena, as the latest guest on The Grayson Waller Effect. Now granted, was it an odd choice to put Cena in a chair next to Waller instead […]

When Seth Rollins and John Cena were announced for a match for Superstar Spectacle as teammates in a non-title – obviously – tag match with the non-Gunther members of Imperium, it turned more than a few heads around the WWE Universe. Sure, as things presently stand, Rollins and Cena are both Babyfaces, and most recently […]

When Grayson Waller stepped up on John Cena at Money in the Bank in London, England, spared on the mic for the better part of 12 minutes, and living to tell the tale, it effectively made the “Aussie Icon” a “made man” within the WWE Universe. After watching his friend and future A-Town Down Under […]

Had the NXT of 2010 looked like the NXT of 2023, Wade Barrett‘s professional wrestling career might have looked very, very, very different. Taking part in the gameshow-style format alongside future luminaries of the sport like Bryan Danielson, Heath Slater, and Husky Harris – aka the late, great Bray Wyatt – Barrett won the show […]

After getting surprisingly physical on SmackDown in his A-Town Down Under tag team partner Austin’s match with LA Knight, Grayson Waller hit the showers and then the post-show media circuit to see who he could talk to about his goings on. On paper, it makes sense, right? Waller, at least in his presumed opinion, was […]

When news broke that John Cena was going to be heading to India for his first-ever match in the country at Superstar Spectacle, it turned heads around the professional wrestling world. Sure, Cena still has a tendency to get in the ring and mix it up from time to time, as he remains a spectacle […]
