The kayfabe world of WWE has given rise to numerous superstars who have transcended their acting skills from the ring to Hollywood. From Hulk Hogan to Becky Lynch, every one of them has left a lasting impression on the minds of the viewers. Some extraordinary names decided that they want to be superheroes and have made themselves synonymous with the striking worlds of Marvel and DC.

However, there are names like Eve Torres, Kevin Nash, and Goldberg making cameo appearances in various Marvel and DC films and series. Even Shad Gaspard played an uncredited role as a stunt double for Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman).

Nevertheless, here are eight names of...

In recent times, moving from wrestling to Hollywood has become a real career path. The WWE has been like one big audition for TV and movies. Big names like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and John Cena are the most obvious examples, but many wrestlers have tried their luck in acting, and some legends laid the groundwork long before them.

Hulk Hogan, for example, made professional wrestling huge in the 1980s with his big personality and 24-inch biceps.

Without him, there might not have been a Dwayne Johnson as a household name. Hogan’s Hollywood career never really took off, movies like Mr. Nanny and Suburban Commando flopped, but he opened the door for others.

The Hollywood Reporter recently ranked the top 10 wrestlers turned actors, though many other big names didn’t make the list. Honorable mentions include Stacy Keibler, Randy Orton, Cm Punk, Mike “The Miz” Mizanin, Mjf, “Macho Man” Randy Savage,...

Over the past ten years, wrestlers have increasingly found their way into Hollywood. Big names like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and John Cena are the most famous examples, but the path from wrestling ring to movie set has a long history.

Before them, Hulk Hogan showed it could be done, even if his Hollywood movies didn’t always work. Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, dominated wrestling in the 1980s and opened doors for future stars.

Without him, there might not be a The Rock or Dwayne Johnson as a household name.

The Hollywood Reporter recently ranked the top 10 wrestlers who became actors, and while some big names didn’t make the list, there are plenty of honorable mentions.

These include Randy Orton, Cm Punk, Mike “The Miz” Mizanin, Sasha Banks, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Becky Lynch, and others. WWE has long produced talent that can step into film and TV,...

A funeral service for Hulk Hogan took place on Tuesday in Clearwater, Florida. Several WWE legends appeared at the funeral, and one important guest delivered a heartfelt eulogy. According to Fightful’s Jimmy Van, former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon made this eulogy and asked the attendees to give Hogan “one last standing ovation.”

McMahon and Hogan’s relationship began decades ago when he was the biggest star in WWE and made Hulkamania into a phenomenon. While they were friends for the most part, McMahon and Hogan also experienced some tension between them.

Other important guests at the private service from the world of wrestling included Ric Flair, Kid Rock, Linda McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Shane McMahon, Triple H, Kevin Nash, and Bam Margera. Flair took it to X to share that Hogan had sold out even in heaven. He shared:

More photos from Marvel Studios' The Punisher Special Presentation have found their way online, this time revealing the face of a character widely thought to be Ma Gnucci.

Despite the quality of these photos being pretty good, no one has been able to identify who is playing the villain. It looks a little like Big Love and American Psycho star Chloë Sevigny, but it's also possible this actor is a stand-in. Whatever the case may be, we see now that the McU's Ma Gnucci has all her limbs, despite being in a wheelchair.

As a reminder, the comic book version of Isabella Carmela Magdalena "Ma" Gnucci sets out to kill Frank after he murdered three of her sons. Using her connections in the NYPD to send the "Punisher Task Force" after the vigilante, she also dispatches the formidable Russian (played by WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash in 2004's The Punisher) to take him out.

The most exciting time of the year is finally here. SummerSlam 2025 promises interesting twists in existing storylines and some emphatic WWE returns, much like its history. While what happens at this year’s SummerSlam remains uncertain, several remarkable returns at SummerSlam have star-studded the event over the years.

SummerSlam remains one of WWE’s biggest premium live events of the year, second only to WrestleMania. Throughout WWE history, it has served as a pivotal stage for major storylines and unforgettable moments. In celebration of this thrilling event, we take a look back at some of the most impactful high-stakes returns by legendary superstars who shocked the WWE universe at SummerSlam.

The tributes continue to pour in for Hulk Hogan, from Hollywood stars to President Trump, after the WWE star died Thursday at the age of 71.

Within hours of Hogan’s death, fans of the late wrestler had also begun posting tribute merch online, paying homage to the Hulkster’s famous colors and catchphrases on homemade apparel and accessories. Sites like Etsy and Redbubble are already seeing a surge...

Before The Rock morphed into movie star Dwayne Johnson, and well-before John Cena traded his jorts for a Peacemaker helmet, Terry “Hulk Hogan” Bollea made the leap from a professional-wrestling ring to Hollywood.

Hogan was the man who put WWE (then WWF) on the map — quite literally, in most places. Vince McMahon Jr. dreamt of taking his dad’s Wwwf (the extra “W” was for the “Wide” in what had been the World Wide Wrestling Federation) from a regional league to a national one (the “World Wide” was just a marketing gimmick). But to steamroll his competitors in their own territories, McMahon needed two things: TV syndication, and one huge draw. Fortunately, he had a huge dude, Bollea, who stood 6’7” and famously had 24” biceps (really they were 22”), on his roster. Together, they created Hulk (because he was big like The Incredible Hulk) Hogan (to resonate with the northeast’s — the...

Date of Death: July 24, 2025

Cause: Cardiac arrest at his Clearwater, Florida home

Age: 71

Real Name: Terry Gene Bollea

Hulk Hogan, the most recognized face in professional wrestling history, passed away suddenly at home on the morning of July 24. Paramedics responded to a 911 call around 9:51 a.m., but despite resuscitation efforts, he was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital. Just two months earlier, Hogan had undergone his latest neck surgery — part of a long history of medical complications linked to decades of high-impact performances.

The Rise of a Wrestling Demigod Origins: From the Gym to the Global Stage

Born in Augusta, Georgia and raised in Tampa, Florida, Terry Bollea was a bassist in a rock band before stepping into the ring. Trained by Hiro Matsuda, Hogan debuted in 1977 but wouldn’t become a national icon until joining the WWF in the early 1980s.

When...

Terry Bollea, best known by his professional wrestling moniker Hulk Hogan, has passed away. He was 71 years old.

Per TMZ, medics responded to a call for a "cardiac arrest" on early Thursday morning at Hogan's home in Clearwater, Florida. The WWE Hall of Famer was seen being carried out of the home on a stretcher and into an ambulance, though it's not yet clear when he was pronounced dead.

Hogan's passing follows reports and rumors that he had been on his "deathbed" in recent weeks. In May, TMZ reported that the former pro wrestler was suffering complications from a neck procedure. There were also rumors that he had suffered brain damage and fallen into a coma, but his wife, Sky, denied this on social media.

New photos from the set of Marvel Television's The Punisher Special Presentation show what appears to be a confrontation between Frank Castle and Ma Gnucci in a playground.

The wheelchair-bound mobster still seems to have her arms and legs, so the Daredevil: Born Again follow-up likely isn't heading down quite as twisted a route as what we saw on the page (at least not at this point in the story).

This character is easily identifiable as Ma Gnucci from her hair, but the crazy thing about this is that we still don't know who's playing her! Marvel Studios must have cast a relatively big name in the role, though neither the trades nor scoopers have deduced her identity.

In the comics, Isabella Carmela Magdalena "Ma" Gnucci sets out to kill Frank after he murdered three of her sons. Using her connections in the NYPD to send the "Punisher Task Force" after the vigilante,...

Goldberg just wrapped up his final WWE match against Gunther, and yeah, we’re still not over it. His retirement hit hard, especially for all the Og fans who’ve been watching him tear it up in the ring for years. But here’s a little silver lining: there might be another Goldberg stepping into the spotlight soon.

His son, Gage Goldberg, is gearing up for a shot at the NFL. But if that path doesn’t pan out for whatever reason, he’s got his sights set on WWE. Yep, Gage could be carrying on his dad’s legacy right in the ring. It’ll be wild to see how things shake out, and if he does make the leap to wrestling, can he live up to the Goldberg name?

Unprecedented scenes have unfolded in front of the WWE universe. The clash between Gunther and Goldberg was not an ordinary one, but it had all the ingredients of becoming a classic encounter between two intense performers inside the ring.

Both WWE superstars delivered an epic showdown. A former Universal Champion, Goldberg has been a dominant force in WWE across multiple eras. Known for his explosive power and intensity, The Icon has etched his name into WWE history by delivering some of the most iconic matches, earning a lasting place in the hearts of fans around the world.

Gunther, on the other hand, has created a place for himself as a modern-day maestro, unleashing unimaginable powers inside the ring. What followed between them at Saturday Night’s Main Event was truly unimaginable.

Although this...

Ever since the resurgence of WWE under the leadership of Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque, professional wrestling has become cool again. So, it is no wonder that professional wrestlers have seen a surge in popularity across the globe, to the point that mainstream media could not get enough of them.

While personalities like Dwayne ‘The Rock” Johnson, Dave Bautista, and now, John Cena have seen tremendous success in shows and films alike in recent years thanks to their wrestling careers, there was a time when pro wrestling ruled the world of television.

Back in the golden days of the 90s and early 2000s, the scene was even more passionate and widespread amongst the common populace. Thus, there were many wrestlers who wanted to cash in on their fame and recognition and transition to mainstream television. Unfortunately, these 8 pro wrestlers couldn’t make it in the big leagues as they did in the squared circle.

A trend that began from the mainstream timeline in WWE with Hulk Hogan and has continued in the modern era is the appearance of stars in major Hollywood films. WWE superstars have taken a keen interest in the world of film and acting and taken their fame to even greater heights.

While some have transitioned into full-fledged actors, others are still balancing acting projects with their WWE commitments. Here is a look back at ten films that featured renowned WWE superstars.

The ultimate heel of WWE, Randy Orton, became a part of the 12 Rounds 2: Reloaded, which was released in 2013 as a straight-to-dvd movie. He essayed the role of a paramedic, Nick Alloy, who gets caught in the cobweb of a deadly game called 12 rounds by a mastermind.

LA Knight has quickly become one of the most talked-about WWE Superstars in recent years. With his electric charisma and top-tier in-ring skills, it’s no wonder he’s a fan favorite on the current roster. Over time, he’s racked up some serious accolades, two-time United States Champion, a one-time Million Dollar Champion, and he even took home the win at the 2023 SummerSlam Slim Jim Battle Royal.

On top of that, fans have shown him major love with two Slammy Awards: Breakout Superstar of the Year and Fan Chant of the Year for his iconic “Yeah!” chant. So yeah, it’s safe to say LA Knight’s had a pretty awesome run so far. But this isn’t just about what we think; let’s check out what some of WWE’s all-time greats have to say about him.

Streaks are part and parcel of professional wrestling, WWE in particular. While some winning streaks have a special place in the hearts of the fans, like that of the Undertaker in WrestleMania, Goldberg and his winning streak were something else.

The Icon’s early career was marked by a relentless string of victories, a display of sheer dominance that the WWE Universe quickly grew accustomed to. However, more than the streak itself, it’s the way it ultimately came to an end that continues to stir controversy and debate in the history of professional wrestling.

The latest Monday Night Raw made it evident. John Cena will face Cm Punk at the Night of Champions on June 28 in Saudi Arabia. It will be the culmination of another major feud Cena had with a prominent WWE superstar during the entirety of his career.

The WWE fans loved the declaration from the 17-time World Champion. Cm Punk wanted it there and then, but Cena decided the clash would be at the pay-per-view event. Thus, the Night of Champions has all the potential to be a memorable night. The question now arises: a little more than a decade after their previous high-stakes encounter, where do these WWE superstars stand in comparison to each other?

The rivalry between John Cena and Cm Punk was a tale of legends in the WWE.

Brock Lesnar is one of the most dominant figures in the combat sports community, having made a lasting impact in both UFC and WWE. He’s held championships in both promotions, cementing his legacy as one of the most decorated athletes in recent history. But what truly sets him apart is his willingness to push his limits for the sake of the show.

During his WWE career, Lesnar has repeatedly put his body on the line with risky moves. Recently, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash recalled a moment when Lesnar attempted a move at a WrestleMania bout against Kurt Angle despite knowing it could end up taking his life.

The course of professional wrestling completely changed at the 2025 WWE Elimination Chamber Ple at the end of the show. The man to do it was none other than John Cena. After 25 years of ‘Hustle, Loyalty and Respect’, Cena embraced the hate and turned heel for the first time in the prime of his in-ring WWE career.

However, before Cena did the unthinkable, WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan had created a similar yet iconic moment. The larger-than-life Superhero Hulkster turned heel in WCW at the Bash at the Beach event in 1996. Hogan recently reflected back on that memorable moment, and hearing his story, it does make a case that John Cena’s heel turn would not match Hogan’s.

Triple H and Vince McMahon had a strong bond during their time in WWE, which grew even deeper when Triple H married Vince’s daughter, Stephanie McMahon. After Vince stepped away, Triple H took charge and has been running the promotion successfully.

However, not many know that Vince once considered firing Triple H over something he did with Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall. While the others were let off, Triple H was the only one who faced harsh punishment.

Triple H was on the verge of getting fired from WWE because of Shawn Michaels Triple H in a WWE event | Credits- WWE

In 1996, Triple H was set for a major push in WWE. He was supposed to win the King of the Ring and then feud with the then World Champion, Shawn Michaels. However, things took an unexpected turn due to an incident he had little involvement in.

Paul “Triple H” Levesque had a decades-long, illustrious career in the ring before moving into an executive position within WWE. In addition to being a powerful force inside the squared circle, Triple H, known to fans as The Game, was also one of the most adaptable and durable characters the company has ever encountered.

Fans frequently saw a different side of Triple H through interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, even though he thrived in serious, dramatic storylines in front of the camera. A humorous story about a small lie he told his wife, Stephanie McMahon, was one such incident that caught attention because of its lightheartedness.

During an interview with his wife on her show, Stephanie’s Places, Triple H disclosed the incident. The Cerebral Assassin was talking about the different...

Triple H is the Chief Content Officer of the WWE and has one of the highest-ranking positions in the organization. He is only superseded by CEO Nick Khan and Tko Chairman Ari Emmanuel. Hhh is also a Hall of Famer and a multi-time world champion. Many say these reigns and positions were handed to him but nobody remembers the work he put in to get to that position in life.

The 1996 Msg Curtain Call almost put a full stop to Triple H’s career. He was the one who faced the consequences for that event. Shawn Michaels, his friend, faced none because he was the WWE champion. Kevin Nash (the other collaborator) spoke out recently about this incident and how Hbk failed to protect their friend.

Kevin Nash says there were animosities due to what Shawn Michaels did

Speaking on the latest episode of his “Kliq This” podcast, Kevin Nash...

Exclusive: Andy Richter (Conan) and former professional wrestler Kevin Nash (The Punisher) are the newest additions to the cast of Caroline, the dramedy marking the feature directorial debut of Outer Range actress Morningstar Angeline, on which we were first to report.

They join an ensemble that also includes Teri Polo, James Udom, Davida Williams, and Sa’Raya Paris Johnson.

The film follows 11-year-old Caroline (Johnson), a clever, sharp-eyed girl navigating a life of excitement and peril as a shoplifter with her mom Jocelyn (Williams). When Caroline;s estranged father Corey (Udom) — a charming, small-town con artist — gets out of prison and re-enters their lives, things briefly seem to settle. But when the family is threatened over a debt they can’t repay, their fragile peace falters. Desperation drives Caroline and her mom into one last, ill-fated heist.

Richter will play Norman Montana, a well-meaning but deeply insecure and jittery small-town public defender.

Stone Cold Steve Austin was the hottest WWE star during the Attitude Era. He was the badass baby face the crowd wanted and got. From 1997 to 2000, he was one of the company’s faces (alongside The Rock). WWE and Stone Cold were inseparable. Yet, something went wrong in 2002. After a botched heel turn a year earlier, it looked like Stone Cold was missing something.

He had done everything, and now, it looked like there was nothing left to do. In June 2002, Stone Cold walked out of the company controversially. He did it just before an episode of Raw, too. Why did he do it? What did WWE do that made Stone Cold angry enough to walk out of the company?

Stone Cold was already frustrated with his booking for a few months

In 2002, Austin was still as big as ever, but his popularity and success had started to reach their summit.

We finally know what Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff have been putting over on X for a little while now. Ok, so we’ve known for a few weeks, but the plans are now public.

Hogan, a Mt. Rushmore professional wrestler (in terms of what he meant to the biz), and Bischoff, WCW’s greatest promoter, have joined forces 25 years after their great nWo run to launch Real American Freestyle, an “unscripted” freestyle-wrestling league. What that means in layman’s terms is this is not the WWE-style wrestling they’re known for — rather it is amateur-style wrestling, but with (real, American) money at stake.

It’s “a legitimate sports competition,” Bischoff told The Hollywood Reporter, “not a scripted sports competition or form of entertainment.”

The “integrity” of the grappling competition will be “impeccable,” Hogan said, though the league is also promising “high-impact moves designed to captivate modern audiences,” per the announcement.

In a world where shows like Bridgerton serve romance with a side of pop songs and steamy stares, it’s easy to forget what true emotional depth looks like in period drama.

But back in 1993, Martin Scorsese gave us The Age of Innocence, a love story set in 1870s New York that feels more intense than anything we’re getting from today’s streaming hits.

It’s stylish, yes, (like c’mon it has to be the 1870s NY) but also sharp, quiet, and emotionally devastating. Where modern shows dress up drama in glitter, Scorsese gave us real heartbreak under the velvet and lace. And he did it all without breaking a sweat or a corset.

Why do modern period romances feel so empty next to this 1993 classic?

Netflix’s Bridgerton may look like the best chance of period drama romance on TV people will get these days, but it...

Fans were really excited about John Cena’s 2025 farewell tour. We thought he was going to send it off into the sunset. That absurd heel turn during Elimination Chamber where The Rock made the throat-cutting gesture to Cena to turn on Cody Rhodes had us hyped. The Rock went Awol and it appears the whole story concept is falling apart.

The idea that he wasn’t a key part of the story is ludicrous; he started it. Between the drama with Triple H, Travis Scott being on WrestleMania but not The Rock and Cena’s farewell tour losing steam – it’s like someone is literally ripping the heart out of the storyline.

The Rock started it and just vanished

Imagine this – Elimination Chamber 2025, Cena is staring at The Rock, and The Rock gestures Cena with a slit throat, and Cena turns heel on Rhodes. I literally screamed at my TV.

As WrestleMania 41 got off the air, fans expressed their displeasure instantly, stating that the finish to the grandest event of all wasn’t as sumptuous, they thought it should have been. It was merely a wind of greatness to come with John Cena prevailing over Cody Rhodes to script history in terms of numbers.

Not only were the fans unhappy about the fact that the finish to the match was a dampener, they also pointed out that the absence of The Rock from the second night’s main event after creating one of the most iconic moments in 25 years of pro-wrestling (John Cena’s heel turn) was a massive let down for them. However, when someone of The Rock’s stature decides to stay away from the ring for an event that he has constantly shown up for in the last few decades, suspicions arise.

Is The Rock versus Triple H really happening?...

Imagine hyping up an event for months, only to ghost it last minute—that’s basically what The Rock did at WrestleMania 41. After stirring the pot at Elimination Chamber, notably demanding Cody Rhodes’ “soul”, and even dragging John Cena into the drama, the WWE star was nowhere to be seen when the big night arrived.

Seemed rather suspicious and somewhat hypocritical. But don’t worry, Kevin Nash seems to have cracked the case. According to him, since The Rock is involved in Martin Scorsese’s movie, he wasn’t allowed to attend the event. Why? Because Scorsese didn’t want to suffer a million-dollar mishap like Hercules, after the WWE star’s appearance in WrestleMania 29.

Kevin Nash addressed The Rock’s absence from WrestleMania 41

The Rock had previously left his wrestling career to pursue acting in Hollywood. But then he returned during the Monday night Raw, and hyped WrestleMania 41 through several events.

Triple H is widely regarded as a cornerstone of WWE, an enduring symbol of excellence and leadership. Yet, even he had to climb the ladder of success, earning his legacy through years of hard work, resilience, and unforgettable performances.

Just before WrestleMania 41, the WWE rightfully inducted Triple H into the 2025 Hall of Fame. Known to fans as “The Cerebral Assassin,” he captured 14 world championships and headlined countless marquee matches throughout his illustrious career. While he may no longer step into the squared circle as an active competitor, his impact on the business continues, shaping WWE from behind the scenes as a visionary and leader.

It’s almost unimaginable for the wrestling world to envision a WWE without Triple H. And yet, there was a time when that very scenario nearly became reality.

The incident that made Vince McMahon furious as he decided to teach Triple H a lesson Triple H...

Cm Punk is making headlines after his triple-threat match at WrestleMania 41 against Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. Though there are many wrestling fans and fellow superstars who were appreciating Punk for his impeccable journey in the WWE, Kevin Nash has been critical of him.

Kevin Nash is a WWE legend, and he produced some of the most iconic storylines in the franchise. Nash was asked about Punk’s return to the WWE in an interview with Kliq This, and he kept his honest views about Punk, and they were brutal.

WWE superstar Jey Uso has responded to the rumors about his potential retirement. Throughout his illustrious career, Jey Uso has delivered countless unforgettable moments that fans will cherish forever. However, the wrestling legend revealed that his time with the promotion may be drawing to a close, largely due to the inevitable toll that age has taken on his body.

Main Event Uso acknowledged that his physical condition is not what it once was. During an interview, the iconic wrestler shed light on his retirement plans, offering fans a glimpse into his thoughts on the future and the legacy he hopes to leave behind.

Rey Mysterio and Penta are the prominent faces of the WWE who have brought respect to the Mexican wrestling scene. Their signature is the mask that they wear anywhere and everywhere they appear. The first wrestler to appear in a mask was the Executioner, and from there on, the tradition of masks has continued, and it’s still alive.

However, the actual face behind the mask has put in a lot of hard work throughout the years to make it a famous signature for the audience. This impeccable performance throughout their careers also gave them a chance to reflect their Mexican culture in the WWE.

The secrets behind the mask of Rey Mysterio and Penta

The man behind the mask of Rey Mysterio is Oscar Gutierrez. He has been one of the most successful wrestlers in the WWE. He is a former WWE champion and secured the WWE World Heavyweight Championship twice.

Randy Orton is one of those rare WWE superstars who’s managed to stay at the top of his game for over two decades. Out of the famous Ohio Valley Wrestling class of 2002, he’s the only one still wrestling full-time in WWE today. From his chilling entrance music to his sharp promos and legendary in-ring skills, “The Viper” continues to prove why he’s one of the very best, even in his 40s.

Wrestling runs in his blood. Orton is a third-generation WWE superstar. He followed in the footsteps of his grandfather, Bob Orton Sr., and his father, “Cowboy” Bob Orton Jr. But what makes Orton truly special is how he carved his own legacy. Starting off as “The Legend Killer,” he slowly transformed into a future Hall of Famer himself, collecting countless championships and unforgettable moments along the way.

But let’s be honest...

WrestleMania 41 is right around the corner, with some power-packed clashes up for grabs. The WWE universe is eagerly waiting for the high-stakes match between Cody Rhodes and John Cena for the Universal title on the line. The excitement and anticipation are building up for the triple-threat clash between Cm Punk, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns.

But apart from these two main events of the grandest event of the WWE, several other matches are also building up momentum as the date of the epic event in Vegas comes close. Without a doubt, amongst these matches, none has the kind of aura that a clash between World Heavyweight Champion Gunther and Jey Uso currently has.

The contest is amongst equals, with some intense storylines and developments underway. Most importantly, a win for both WWE superstars is consequential to their prospects in the company.

When it comes to hype, nobody does it better than Paul Heyman. From the beastly Brock Lesnar to the straight-edge savior Cm Punk—and now, the undisputed Tribal Chief Roman Reigns—Heyman has always been the voice behind the dominance. But now, the master of mic work finds himself in unfamiliar territory: caught between loyalty and legacy. With his allegiance split, the question looms large—who will he back when push comes to shove? For now, he’s playing both sides like a true mastermind.

In a recent video with a popular wrestling influencer, Heyman claimed that John Cena does not match the skill and strength of Cm Punk or Roman Reigns. Playfully, he downplayed Cena’s legacy, but his comments have stirred up fresh discourse online. Could he be hinting at a future match between Cm Punk and John Cena?

Lex Luger is set to be inducted into this year’s WWE Hall of Fame. He expressed that he wanted one man to induct him—Sting. Luger and Sting have been friends and tag team partners for many years. Hence, it would only be fitting for the Stinger to induct the “Lex Express” into the WWE Hall of Fame. But there’s one problem.

Steve Borden, a.k.a. Sting, is still under contract with All Elite Wrestling (Aew). Although the wrestling legend retired last year, he remains a part of the company. Aew and WWE haven’t had the best relationship, given their rivalry. So, the question is, will Tony Khan allow this, considering the things he has said about WWE?

John Cena’s turning heel has been a recent major storyline of WWE. At WrestleMania 41, he is set to fight Cody Rhodes in a WWE title match. John Cena’s heel conversion started at Elimination Chambers 2025 and was solidified in an episode when he confronted the audience.

The WWE Hall of Fame Kevin Nash addressed this on “Kliq This.” Although the audience is still surprised by the heel conversion of John Cena, Kevin Nash has a different opinion about it, and according to him, it is just too obvious.

WWE has finally allowed Cm Punk a WrestleMania main event fight but it did not come easy for the superstar. Punk always wanted to main event at a WrestleMania and worked his shoes off to make that dream come true. Despite being one of the most popular wrestlers in the promotion, WWE did not fulfill his wish.

The biggest shock came in 2013 at WrestleMania 29 when despite selling more merchandise than the two of the biggest names in the promotion, John Cena and The Rock, WWE decided to not give him a chance to perform at the main event, instead chose to back part-timers such as Kevin Nash and Triple H, This shocked wrestlers and fans alike.

A key moment in Cm Punk’s professional career at the WWE was the face-off between the self-styled ‘Best in the World’ athlete and the authority. Cm Punk’s controversial title run in 2011-12 was probably the most memorable storyline of the company in its recent history.

While former WWE Champion’s association with the WWE dates back to early 2010, his rift with the authority gave him the kind of recognition and stature we know today.

However, over time, that relationship with the WWE authority drastically changed behind the scenes. The WWE universe has learned about an off-camera gesture involving Stephanie McMahon and Cm Punk himself.
