John Cena and Austin Theory just secretly filmed a segment together, so we’ll see
what’s that about.
We’ll also see how Uncle Howdy broke character, latest on Randy Orton, and much more
Let’s start things off with John Cena and Austin Theory
John Cena and Austin Theory have lightly been involved with each for a long time now
Everything between them started in mid 2022 during Austin Theory’s first reign as United
States champion
Austin theory’s argument was that since he won the United States title at an earlier
age than John Cena did, he felt like that made him better than John Cena ever was
So then from there on, that marked the start of this little social media sort of feud between
John Cena and Austin Theory
Theory would go up to fans wearing John Cena gear at live events and make fun of them and
always talk about how he was so much better than Cena
Austin Theory eventually brought his digs at John Cena onto WWE television
And once he did that, WWE fans understood that as confirmation that we were about to
see an actual match take place between John Cena and Austin Theory in the near future
Well fast forward a few months later after Austin Theory had taken all those shots at
John Cena, and that brings us to Cena’s return to Raw in June 2022
John Cena was there to celebrate his twenty year anniversary with WWE and he did several
backstage appearances throughout Raw that night
One of those backstage interactions was even sharing a moment with Austin Theory
John Cena and Austin Theory had an intense stare-down moment backstage, which only appeared
to fuel the rumors of us potentially seeing a John Cena versus Austin Theory match even
more
John Cena ended up coming out later in that night for a promo and everyone thought Austin
Theory would interrupt the promo, leading us to maybe that match between the both of
them at Summerslam
John Cena versus Austin Theory at Summerslam had been the popular rumor throughout late
spring and early summer of 2022
But the match unfortunately never happened
Then months after that appearance went down, it started getting reported that John Cena
could have a match at Wrestlemania 39
And if that does turn out to be true, it’ll technically be John Cena’s first full match
in front of a Wrestlemania crowd since Wrestlemania 34
So it’s John Cena’s first real Wrestlemania match in over five years, it’s a big return
to the grand stage for him
But of course the big question instantly was: who is John Cena facing at Wrestlemania 39?
Logan Paul instantly inserted his name into the hat of possible Wrestlemania 39 opponents
for John Cena
And even just a few weeks ago, it was reported that Logan Paul versus John Cena was a serious
possibility for Wrestlemania 39
But fast forward a few weeks later and the script has flipped again
Fightful reported that WWE filmed something between John Cena and Austin Theory on December
30th in Tampa, Florida when Smackdown was in town
They claim that Austin Theory was pulled from a live event show in order to be flown over
to Florida to shoot this segment with John Cena
The report has no idea what was actually filmed and what it will be used for, all they know
is that John Cena and Austin Theory were both involved with this specific filming that took
place on December 30th
So it can really be anything from maybe a WWE 2K commercial, to another form of promotional
material, or maybe even for something for their rumored match at Wrestlemania 39
Reports are no longer naming Logan Paul as John Cena’s Wrestlemania 39 opponent, they’re
all once again saying that his opponent will be Austin Theory
And Austin Theory has been looking great in recent months.
The goofy and silly side of his character was replaced by a more serious persona
And he’s been winning all those big matches to back up his new serious persona
So by the time Wrestlemania 39 does roll around, Austin Theory may really look like a credible
threat to take down John Cena
So a John Cena versus Austin Theory match may be back on the table for 2023
We’ll also have to wait and see what this mysterious segment that filmed between John
Cena and Austin Theory turns out to be
——————————————
Uncle Howdy’s identity has been a popular topic of discussion in recent weeks and a
WWE super-fan may have just provided another big clue for who’s behind the mask
Chloe Canterbury hosts her own podcast and was recently talking about a backstage experience
she had at the January 9th edition of Raw
Chloe says that she personally encountered Uncle Howdy backstage at Raw and had this
to say about that interaction, quote:
"Then, Uncle Howdy walks by, and I'm just like, 'Hi,' and he's very friendly, he waves
back at me.
I'm just going to tell y'all, the voice did seem a little on the high side.
It was a male voice, obviously, but on the higher side.
Is it Bo Dallas?
Did I meet Bo Dallas and didn't realize?"
End quote.
So Chloe’s story appears to confirm the previous reports that WWE has Uncle Howdy
in full costume backstage all the time in order to prevent his identity from being leaked
So turns out that report is in fact true.
Uncle Howdy is walking around backstage in full makeup and mask to prevent anyone from
seeing who’s underneath the costume
But according to Chloe, the individual’s voice is a higher pitched male voice
Chloe seems to be leaning towards Bo Dallas being behind Uncle Howdy, and so far, that’s
the most popular guess
Bo Dallas has been seeing backstage at Raw over the last few weeks, and those shows he
was at just happened to be the same shows that Uncle Howdy appeared at
So Bo Dallas is at the top of the list of suspects to be behind Uncle Howdy
We’ll have to wait and see if WWE plans to ever unmask Howdy or if his real identity
will remain hidden

As everyone is well aware of, WWE has been missing one of their top legendary superstars
for a long time now and that superstar in question is Randy Orton
After a long roller coaster of a feud with Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton immediately jumped
into a tag team with Riddle in spring of 2021
Now within the storyline, no one really expected RK-Bro to last as long as it did, everyone
thought Randy Orton would turn on Riddle after a short period of time
But the tag team lasted so long, they had a great reign as Raw tag team champions, and
accomplished a lot together
But Randy Orton last competed on May 20th, 2022 and hasn’t been seen since
That was the day that the Usos unified the tag team titles and Orton was never seen from
again
The reason was that Randy Orton had a serious back issue that needed surgery
Well new reports are revealing even more new information
Reports claim that Randy Orton’s career was on the verge of being completely over
before he took his hiatus in May 2022 because of the injuries he was battling through
So if he would’ve stayed competing even for a few weeks longer, who knows how much
more harm he would’ve added to that injury
In just a few months in May, it’ll make one full year since Randy Orton has been in
the ring, and there’s absolutely no talks of his return taking place anytime soon
Other wrestlers who have dealt with similar injuries to Randy Orton have taken several
years to make miracle comeback returns
So there’s a lot of concern surrounding Randy Orton’s future in the ring
Even if he takes a few years to recover, will he really come right back to the ring at an
even older age to continue to put his body in harm’s way?
It’s a very scary question to think about
If Randy Orton does return to the ring in the future, it looks like he’ll need to
adapt a new calmer ring style that keep away from any harm as much as possible
