The injury bug has been spreading around lately. First, the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion was hurt during his match with Jinder Mahal. Now, his reported WrestleMania dance partner, Cm Punk, is no longer a candidate to challenge for the prestigious belt at the biggest show in the company’s calendar year. It’s a shame as Seth Rollins vs. Cm Punk was the perfect WrestleMania match, but this is show business, so the show must go on.

There is a very good reason why Dwayne Johnson, popularly known across the globe as The Rock, is one of the biggest and most commercially successful film stars in the world today. This mostly stems from most of his films targeted at the masses who just want a fun film to experience.
Therefore, he has naturally been sticking to entertaining the people as much as he can, which means almost no critically engaging performances or films that he’s been a part of.

But it seems like that might be changing soon in the future as the star prepares himself to dedicate his time and effort towards a passion project of his, titled The Smashing Machine with none other than A24. Since this production company is known to invest in and create critical masterpieces, The Rock could be looking at changing into new lanes in his career.

For the past week, professional wrestling has occupied the apex of the entertainment industry.
That’s a sentence that might have been unthinkable 10 years ago, when the art form that began as a carnival act in the 1800s before evolving into a multi-billion dollar scripted sports industry was seen by many as an unsophisticated (if endlessly profitable) laughingstock. But a recent influx in critically acclaimed storytelling, major international free agents, and behind-the-scenes disruption has given the wrestling business a shot of adrenaline that turned it into must-see TV in the 2020s.
Years of rapidly accelerating momentum built to a head during the first week in April, when America’s two biggest wrestling promotions, World Wrestling Entertainment and All Elite Wrestling, pulled the trigger on some of their longest-gestating storylines to produce some electrifying television.

WWE is no new to long-term storytelling, and it seems the seeds for the next big rivalry have already been sown on Night One of WrestleMania 40. While initially it was supposed to be The Rock vs Roman Reigns, following the fans’ backlash, who were adamant about seeing Cody Rhodes finish his story, it was eventually scrapped.
With the Bloodline now coming on top on Night One, resulting in a Bloodline Rules match for the main event of Night Two, the American Nightmare might be in for a rough time tonight. However, following Reigns’ mistakes in the tag-team match against Rhodes and Seth Rollins, fans believe a betrayal from the Brahma Bull is likely.

But then everything came crashing down on him with a series of serious allegations from a former employee that the 78-year-old McMahon had to resign from his position as the CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment.

Dwayne Johnson and John Cena’s rivalry started way back in 2011 when The Rock returned to WWE after a seven-year hiatus to host WrestleMania 27. Johnson made fun of Cena and his catchphrase “You Can’t See Me” during the event. Cena also later responded with hurtful remarks, which led to the duo booking a headline match at WrestleMania 28 almost a year before the event. During this period, Cena also started a rivalry with Cm Punk.

As is the case with Roman Reigns in modern WWE, sometimes a champion’s reign lasts way too long. But the opposite can also be true. Somebody could get a big title win and only hold onto the belt for a few weeks, possibly even days, before being forced back to square one. For one reason or another, there are a select group of wrestlers in WWE who dropped the title way earlier than they should have.
On this list of wrestlers who needed more time with their championships, we will not be including those who were forced to vacate due to injury. It seems too easy an answer, so here’s an honorable mention for Finn Balor, Daniel Bryan, Edge, and the rest of the champs who had to vacate the belt for physical reasons.

John Cena stands as one of WWE’s most iconic performers, anchoring the company for over 15 years as its squeaky clean, do-gooder, poster child. But as Cena expands his acting pursuits, he recently revealed to Howard Stern that WWE’s creative team barred him from ever embracing a heel turn. This refusal to explore his character’s dark side restricted Cena creatively and may have hindered engaging new feuds and story angles that could have thrilled fans.

WWE is gearing up for WrestleMania Xl with the possibility of appealing to a wider audience than any other pro-wrestling promotion. Earlier, all signs pointed to Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson facing Undisputed WWE Universal champion Roman Reigns in the main event of the two-day WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia on April 6 or 7.
However, fans were taken aback because Cody Rhodes, the winner of the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble match over Roman Reigns, was supposed to take that slot. But the WWE Universe’s massive outcry and the overwhelming support for Rhodes forced the company to reschedule his match against Reigns.
