Written by and starring Sylvester Stallone, Rocky became the highest-grossing movie of 1976. It earned ten Academy Award nominations and won three, including Best Picture. The film became a cultural phenomenon, inspired several sequels, and is still remembered as one of the greatest sports movies ever made.

Talking to Rotten Tomatoes, Stallone said, “There aren’t many fight films like Rocky. Rocky is more of a fantasy in many ways.” He acknowledged that the film was more imaginative than realistic, which might explain its legendary status. Still, Stallone has other favorite boxing movies that he thinks deserve attention.

One of the first films he mentioned is Fat City, directed by John Huston. Stallone explained, “Because most fighters have these horrible lives.” Fat City is very different from Rocky. Instead of a triumphant story, it focuses on the struggles of a washed-up boxer. Critics praised the movie for its realism and the...

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

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

How is LA Knight’s Theme Song Different From...

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

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

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

Is The Undertaker coming out of retirement in 2025? That’s what the WWE veteran wanted for himself if he had “anything left in the tank” to face Gunther. Recently, the former World Heavyweight Champion appeared on the Six Feet Under podcast, where Michelle McCool, The Phenom’s wife, had an intriguing question for Gunther and The Deadman on how their “WrestleMania match” would look.

The Undertaker found it “interesting” and even considered ending his retirement if Triple H had made some plans with The Ring General. Despite turning down the opportunity for one match with Gunther, Taker considered him the one guy that he would have loved to work with. He said,

That’s interesting. Well, I will say that before we even, we, we even start talking like. I’m going over? Yeah, I’m going over. That’s a no, but. No, I have to say this. If...

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.

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

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

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

WWE SummerSlam 2025 was expected to be a breakout night for Karrion Kross as he was scheduled to face Sami Zayn in a singles showdown. However, at the brink of his current WWE contract expiring, he suffered a major defeat at the hands of the former WWE Intercontinental Champion.

Kross had been experiencing a major resurgence in the global juggernaut and garnering huge fan support. Yet, WWE decided to give it back to him and booked him to lose at the historic SummerSlam 2025 event, amidst his contract and status situation being uncertain.

The WWE universe has been speculating about whether John Cena will retire at the end of the year. The 17-time World Champion has reinstated his resolve and stated that continuing his run in the WWE would ruin him and his married life. Cena talked about this during an interaction with Stephanie McMahon at her podcast, What’s Your Story?

These remarks from Cena have emerged as a major talking point in the professional wrestling community. It is now almost certain that the Cenation protagonist will retire at the end of the year, bringing an end to his illustrious career that spanned 25 years.

Even though John Cena is currently on his retirement tour, Shinsuke Nakamura’s botched back suplex eight years ago today nearly ended his career when he landed on his neck. The incident took place at SmackDown Live on August 1, 2017. Nakamura, one of the greatest Japanese WWE superstars, delivered a frightening back suplex followed by a crushing Kinshasa to secure the victory.

The match between Cena and Nakamura was one of the most highly anticipated face-offs at the time in the WWE. It was one of those dream matches where the winner would’ve earned the right to challenge Jinder Mahal for the WWE Championship. The injury from the impact of that fall could’ve seriously paralyzed Cena or triggered a head concussion.

After months of rumors, Cody Rhodes has confirmed that the injury he suffered during the assault at Elimination Chamber 2025 was from Travis Scott. Recently, the former WWE Undisputed Champion made an appearance on Hot Ones by First We Feast, where the host asked if the black eye and busted eardrum were real or part of the kayfabe world of wrestling.

Rhodes replied that he wished the reports were fake and that Scott had a heavy hand, but does not hold a grudge against him or even confront him for his actions. He said,

I wish I could tell you it wasn’t true because I wanted anyone else to have the credit for that. So you got The Rock in the Ring and you’ve got [John] Cena in the ring. But my man Travis [Scott], who nothing but love for, he has a big old hand. So yes, it did bust my eardrum.

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

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

The tragic yet sudden passing of Hulk Hogan has left the wrestling community in shock, as the WWE superstar was an inspiration for many gym bros. The fans would be mesmerized by his hulking physique, even in old age, but his regular years were something else, when his “24-inch pythons” made the wrestling business go wild. The exact size of his biceps was never confirmed because it was never measured.

This was intriguing because even a ‘prime’ Arnold Schwarzenegger’s biceps were just 22 inches via Greatest Physiques. This was surprising considering he was titled Mr. Olympia 7 times. However, Hogan’s towering physique was not limited to his dedication to having an inhuman workout routine.

After all, he admitted to the usage of steroids in the 90s to make people stop and become a part of Hulkamania. Sadly, it was not just for entertainment because the wrestler suffered several hard bumps,...

Good Morning America‘s Sam Champion has come a long way since getting his TV start in the 1980s. Champion got a blast from his past via X on Wednesday, July 23, as a fan shared a throwback photo from one of his earliest jobs as a weather anchor for a news station in Jacksonville, Florida. “Please hide this photo . And do Not post a then-and-now ,” he wrote in his reply to the post. Despite his plea, another fan proceeded to create a “then and now” split of Champion, featuring an older snap and a more recent picture. Champion poked fun at himself while reposting the tweet via his own X profile on Thursday, June 24, writing, “Well, that hurts .” The creator of the photo split replied to Champion’s reaction, joking, “Lol you kinda made at least One of us do it. Lol!!” Agreeing with the assessment, he responded to the...

The sound of Roman Reigns demanding recognition from the crowd has been a familiar one for the WWE universe for some time now. It doesn’t matter whether you love the OTC1 or criticize him for his actions; you just can’t ignore the aura he has created.

However, the memories of this remarkable scene became distant ever since Reigns went on an undeclared hiatus post-WrestleMania 41. Now, the former Universal Champion has returned to the squared circle and even Elon Musk’s Grok AI recognized the powerhouse he has been in the company, accepting that he his indeed the Original Tribal Chief!

The moment came when a wrestling enthusiast asked Grok whether it recognized Reigns as the Tribal Chief. The answer from the powerful AI was simply a sight to behold for the fans of the OTC1.

There are many conversations out there on how good a wrestler Seth Rollins is in the WWE. While some WWE enthusiasts do not rate him that high, others place him as one of the best heels in the WWE as of now.

Whatever the opinion of the WWE universe may be, concerns for Seth Rollins have been a constant talking point ever since he unfortunately suffered an injury during a match against LA Knight at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Now the megastar himself has provided an update on the situation.

He was agile, great on the microphone, and never hesitant in a fight. That’s what comes into the minds of most WWE fans when they think about Enzo Amore.

After a humble beginning in the WWE, he quickly rose to become a prodigy of the Vince McMahon era. One of those rare WWE superstars who had a distinct persona of his own during the early years of the modern era, Amore’s downfall in the WWE was as sharp as his rise, making fans wonder about the reasons behind it.

In light of his brief but remarkable career in the WWE, here is everything you need to know about Enzo Amore’s downfall and why WWE fired him in the first place.

When James Cameron took us back to Pandora with Avatar: The Way Of Water in 2022, he not only returned heroic Na’vi couple Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) to our screens, but introduced us to their young, extended family too. They include Sully siblings Lo’ak (Britain Dalton) and Tuktirey (Trinity Bliss), plus human Spider (Jack Champion), and Tsireya (Bailey Bass) of the water-based Metkayina Clan. After an extensive audition process, Dalton, Bliss, Champion and Bass spent years shooting The Way Of Water and upcoming third film Fire And Ash concurrently, in roles that defined their childhoods and launched their careers. Empire sits down with the quartet to dive deep into their Avatar journey.

Avatar arrived in December 2009, when Dalton (who hails from California), Bass (New York), Champion (Virginia) and Bliss (Los Angeles) were aged eight, six, five, and just one month, respectively. Young as he was,...

It’s time for a fourth grouping of anchors at ABC News’ “GMA3.”

The Disney-backed news outlet is overhauling — yet again — the anchor lineup for the afternoon hour, this time likely giving more air time to various anchors and correspondents from “Good Morning America,” including weekend hosts such as Gio Benitez orthe weekday broadcast’s Ginger Zee. On Monday, current co-anchor Eva Pilgrim announced a move to CBS’ “Inside Edition,” while ABC News President Almin Karamehmedovic told staffers in a memo that her on-screen colleague, DeMarco Morgan, was leaving the show and the company.

“He has decided to begin a new journey and will be departing ABC News,” the executive said in his memo. The exits of Morgan and Pilgrim were previously reported by the media newsletter Status.

“GMA3” was in recent months placed under the aegis of “Good Morning America” senior executive producer Simone Swink, and its production staff was trimmed.

Released in 2009, director James Cameron’s film Avatar became the first movie to officially gross more than $2 billion. Then it took him thirteen years to get a sequel into theatres, so it wasn’t clear if the follow-up was going to be able to replicate that success. But then, sure enough, Avatar: The Way of Water also grossed more than $2 billion, paving the way for not only Avatar 3, or Avatar: Fire and Ash, (which is scheduled to reach theatres on December 19, 2025) but also Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 – which will be released on December 21, 2029 and December 19, 2031, respectively. Empire has been giving Avatar: Fire and Ash extensive coverage in the build-up to the film’s release, and their latest report has unveiled a new image of the characters Quaritch and Spider! You can check it out right here:

World-exclusive

Quaritch and Spider return in #Avatar: Fire And Ash, a father-son dynamic set to get seriously complicated.

One of Avatar: The Way of Water's biggest shocks came when we learned that Stephen Lang's Miles Quaritch, resurrected as a "recombinant" Na'vi, was the father of Spider, a human child adopted by Jake Sully and Neytiri.

As the movie progressed, Spider was forced to come to terms with his father being a villain looking to lay waste to Pandora alongside the Rda. Despite being raised by Jake and Neytiri, he did bond with his father and begrudgingly saved his life.

However, that doesn't mean they're about to put their differences aside as father and son in this December's Avatar: Fire and Ash.

Talking to Empire Online, (via SFFGazette.com) Lang says, "They reconnect out of necessity. Their connection is not a solo connection. There are times when everybody comes together on some level. But, when enemies cooperate, you can be sure betrayal is just around the corner.

There's been a lot of discourse regarding the Marvel Cinematic Universe series. While there have been some fantastic hits, such as Loki and Daredevil: Born Again, it's also widely believed that many of these projects feel like over-extended movies scattered across six (and almost always only six) episodes of television. To make matters worse, the Disney Plus shows have mostly remained disconnected from the rest of the stories happening on the big screen.

Heroes such as Moon Knight, Werewolf, White Vision, and She-Hulk have all made their debut on these types of projects, only to never be seen again. But if that wasn't enough, Marvel's new approach to the small screen also raised some eyebrows. Marvel's Head of Television, Streaming and Animation, Brad Winderbaum, recently confirmed that big and renowned MCU heroes won't be the stars of Disney Plus series moving forward (though they can still make cameo appearances).

Match #1: Will Ospreay & Swerve Strickland def. Blake Christian & Lee Johnson The following is courtesy of allelitewrestling.com:

Ospreay and Swerve entered the arena hastily, clearly caught off guard, as Ospreay taped his wrists en route to the ring. Facing Lee Johnson and Blake Christian, the match began with Johnson and Swerve exchanging rapid maneuvers, highlighted by a quick leapfrog sequence and evasion by Johnson. Ospreay, sporting a noticeable black eye from a previous superkick incident, tagged in and executed a sharp Manhattan Drop and a blistering chop on Christian. Despite their abrupt start, Ospreay and Swerve showcased impressive chemistry. A notable moment came when Ospreay launched himself into Johnson on the outside with a dynamic crossbody. However, the Young Bucks appeared ringside, creating a distraction that allowed...

Kevin Owens has been a part of sports entertainment as one of the top names in WWE. He became a part of an important generation as the Prize Fighter and became one of the biggest attractions in the history of WWE’s modern era. In doing so, Owens battled numerous competitors in his career.

Moreover, Owens has also been taking notice of the entire wrestling scene and wrestlers outside WWE. One of them is a former WWE star who is ruling the roost on the independent scene. Despite defeating Dolph Ziggler with the help of Hugh Jackman years ago, he felt the wrath of Owens, who roasted him with a reality check.

Jack Champion has already entered the MCU, but there are rumors that this Avatar actor could land a bigger role in the upcoming X-Men reboot. While Marvel Studios has yet to share more details on how they will introduce mutants to the sacred timeline, Champion reveals if he was officially contacted to play this iconic superhero.

In an interview with Josh Wilding on YouTube, Champion was asked if he was aware of the X-Men casting rumors about him playing Cyclops. The character was portrayed by other actors, like James Marsden and Tye Sheridan, in the 20th Century Fox X-Men films and was voiced by Ray Chase in X-Men '97. According to the young actor, the casting rumors are news to him, but he is interested in playing the character.

“It's definitely news to me. I mean, I hope it comes true, you know. I definitely would love to play that character but you know,...

A rumored Avatar actor addresses the reports of being looked at for one of the major X-Men characters in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe reboot movie. Marvel Studios is finally getting closer to bringing the X-Men into the MCU on a full-time basis. As Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier is reportedly directing the X-Men movie, casting rumors have already been floating around about who may be getting cast as the iconic Marvel mutants.

In a new interview with Comic Book Movie, Avatar. The Way of Water star Jack Champion was recently asked if he could address the MCU rumors that he is being looked at for the role of Scott Summers, a.k.a. Cyclops, in the McU's X-Men film. However, while Champion would love to play the next live-action version of Cyclops, the Scream VI actor had the following to say about the X-Men rumors:

It’s, uh, definitely news to me.

All eyes are on who Marvel Studios will cast to play the iconic heroes of the X-Men in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and one of the names is Jack Champion. Champion, who already appeared in the MCU as a kid on the bike that Ant-Man meets in Avengers: Endgame, has quickly made a name for himself thanks to roles in Avatar: The Way of Water, its upcoming sequel Avatar: Fire and Ash, and Scream 6. Champion is rumored to be one of Marvel Studios' picks to play none other than Scott Summers / Cyclops in the MCU.

While promoting his latest film, Everything's Going to Be Great, Champion was asked by ComicbookMovie if there was any truth to the rumors that he is in the running for Cyclops. Champion didn't seem to know anything about the rumors, but he said he would love to play Cyclops. Yet, at the moment, the...

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.

Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier has been tapped to helm Marvel Studios' long-awaited X-Men reboot. The movie, which fans have been waiting for since 2019's Disney/Fox merger, will likely set the tone for the next era of MCU storytelling (widely theorised to be the "Mutant Saga").

With The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes scribe Michael Lesslie hard at work on the script, there have already been rumours about who will play the next generation of X-Men. Regarding Cyclops, one name that keeps coming up is Avatar: The Way of Water star Jack Champion.

Fans have responded positively to the prospect of him playing Scott Summers in the MCU, and asked Champion for his thoughts while talking to him, and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth (Pinocchio), for their new movie, Everything's Going to Be Great.

"It’s, uh, definitely news to me," the Avatar: Fire and Ash star responded. "I mean,...

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.

Actor Jack Champion is known in part for his role as Spider in the Avatar franchise. Ahead of the release of Avatar: Fire and Ash later this year, Champion is setting the record straight on some claims made about the upcoming Avatar films and his Spider character.

Per Screen Rant, Champion recently took part in a "Debunking AI" video to field a variety of statements made about his career via generative AI. Some comments were made about what's happening with Spider in Avatar: Fire and Ash, and he confirmed that it sounded "fairly accurate," though he couldn't clarify anything to avoid spoilers. With the fourth film that's also in the works, however, there was one claim Champion was able to shut down outright.

The "fairly accurate" claim concerned Spider's next moves, with AI guessing that the character "may join the Metkayina clan and adopt their culture, with him interacting with Tsireya,...

The world of entertainment wrestling is full of talent, and in recent years, WWE has been signing more and more names to add depth to its roster. However, having talent is easy, but finding an attraction is rare. One can argue that the current locker room has the best attractions in Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, LA Knight, and many more.

However, they will all turn into dust when they come face to face with the evergreen charm of Rikishi. Hardcore fans of the show know how the wrestler can be quite an entertaining figure and was perhaps the most adaptable figure on the roster.

Be it a babyface or a heel, he surely has put up moments that have attracted fans and made him such a fun figure to be around. Here are 5 moments that are as iconic as if they happened yesterday.

Married couples in wrestling are not a new thing, where a common passion for wrestling and entertaining brings two people closer and blossoms into a beautiful relationship. One such couple is Chelsea Green and Matt Cardona, who have been together for 8 long years. The pair is having a blissful relationship, supporting each other in their endeavors and figuring out life one day at a time.

While Cardona is competing in indie circuits, his wife is the showstopper of SmackDown and has been making a huge impact in women’s wrestling. Green’s dedication to the sport is unmatched, as she pulls off amazing high-octane moves that get the fans roaring.

However, achieving such finesse and in-ring toughness is not easy because she sheds light on wrestling with her husband and how she’d die each time they trained together.

The return of R-Truth has taken the WWE Universe by storm in WWE’s exclusive premium live event, Money in the Bank, and has proved how the voices of the fans matter. The fans were ecstatic as they witnessed a returning Truth beating up a heel Cena before he could steal another win from Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso.

However, the jester is now resting in the backseat, and the real man behind the cheerful soul has taken over the wheel, announcing to the world that he is done being a gimmick. He states loud and clear that he needs respect to be put before his name, leading to his first heel turn in 17 years.

The performer did not hold back, taking his heel persona outside WWE and warning the world that he was not that guy anymore.

Professional wrestling is all about thrilling storylines, drama, and intensity inside the ring. But the rivalry is not limited to wrestlers. The feud between Shane McMahon and her sister Stephanie McMahon remains one of the most contentious executive contests in the WWE.

While Stephanie McMahon has remained a constant in the executive spheres of the company, her brother, Shane, had a difficult relationship with her and their father, Vince McMahon. The two siblings are miles apart in their approach, demeanor, and leadership skills. With WWE now officially out of the control of the McMahon family, one might ask: how and why were the two McMahons so different?

When it comes to the most successful female athletes of this generation, Nikki Bella’s name is up there. A 2-time Divas Champion and the longest reigning one at that, made women’s wrestling popular, spearheading a major shift in the wrestling scene.

Her achievements inside the ring are countless, but her life outside the ring is full of setbacks. Bella has been in relationships with John Cena and Artem Chigvintsev, which ultimately didn’t last. In the past, she made a bold claim about her intimate life with the Russian-American dancer, which has not aged well since then. After all, Bella and Chigvintsev’s sacred chapter together ended on quite a controversial note, attracting backlash from the fans.

Ever since returning to WWE, Cody Rhodes has become the heart of WWE, where fans would travel around the world to see him. With a charming personality and a catchy theme song, he is undoubtedly the biggest superstar in the modern wrestling scene. After all, his second stint in the company as The American Nightmare has put him in the good books of Triple H, making him the face of the company.

Naturally, the two have spent time together and have made memories that they would recall when telling stories taking place outside the ring. One such incident was shared by Rhodes, which was extremely embarrassing, but in the process brought them closer.

Recently, in the episode of What Do You Wanna Talk About?, he shared the incident, making Levesque say more than two words to him.

Cody Rhodes shares the wild ‘bus incident’ with Triple H

It comes as...

John Cena vs. Cm Punk, the rivalry that refuses to get cold. Despite the fact these two greats have had several matches over the years, the fans still want “one more match” between the two. They demanded, and WWE complied, with the fans giving them a match on a silver platter at Night of Champions, where the two men will get their hands on each other for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

However, this time the tension is real because the Last Real Champion manipulated Punk for a title match if he agrees to follow him to Saudi Arabia. The challenger is infamous for his past comments about the country.

Hence, many believed he’d turn it down, but he agreed, and there’s an intriguing reason behind it.

Cm Punk has moved past his Saudi Arabia comments

The Raw event after Money in the Bank has been a thrilling one,...

When we think of the most outspoken and brash WWE Superstar, the name Cm Punk tops the list. The star has been vocal about anything and everything that hampers the people’s peace and would even go as far as challenging the higher-ups of the company. This was most evident a decade back when he dropped his infamous “Pipebomb” promo.

For the record, Punk prefers to keep his record straight and be very vocal about his professional relationships. Now, it comes as no surprise that Cm Punk has been missing out on title opportunities since his return in 2023 and has expressed his dissatisfaction over it.

His potential was noticed by a heel Cena, offering him a shot at his title. The condition? A face-off at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, a pure evil move from the champ.

John Cena’s evil master plan that compels Cm Punk to visit...

“You can’t handle the truth!” Indeed, you can’t handle it, John Cena, because the 2025 Money in the Bank was saved by the grace of a returning R-Truth. The star was released earlier this month, when it was reported that the star was not offered a new WWE contract and it was decided to let them go from the company.

Tempers were flaring in the wrestling community, leading to a series of outbursts from the fans. Interestingly enough, the fans complained that the premium live event fell flat with obvious wins that made the fans fall asleep.

However, every fan was cheering when the star made a surprising return, giving a highlight for the 16th annual Money in the Bank that gave them their ‘Truth.’

Ever since Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque took over WWE, fans have witnessed numerous changes within the company. Some were cheered by them, while others were vehemently opposed because it was purely corporate and went strictly against their sentiments. From striking a billion-dollar deal with Netflix to being clueless about the women’s division, often coming up with a narrative that has poorly resonated among the fans.

The Cco has been facing backlash from the fans for the past couple of weeks for not doing “what’s best for business.” The defiance was shown in World Wrestling Promotion’s June PPV, Money in the Bank, where it managed to pull off an Aew-like scenario.

The eagle-eyed wrestling enthusiasts were quick to notice this scenario and share it on social media.

It comes as no surprise that WWE has always been the biggest wrestling promotion brand, which focuses immensely on the entertainment of the fans. If there is something they like more than a well-layered feud, it is witnessing mysterious and supernatural figures that give them the chills. Over the years, many have risen, but one is just top of the line. Finn Bálor’s “Demon” persona.

The gimmick had existed long before he signed with WWE’s talent development brand, Nxt. Its popularity skyrocketed after he made his Higher Self’s debut in 2014 in a tag team match against The Ascension, with Hideo Itami in his corner.

Gradually, the unstoppable figure seldom made its appearance, leaving the fans inquiring about its return. However, the wrestler has dropped a hint at his alter ego’s return in tonight’s segment of Raw.
