Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk News - I’m Oli Davis.
John Cena Vs.
The Undertaker In John Cena’s search of a WrestleMania
moment, he’s been eliminated from the Royal Rumble, eliminated from the Elimination Chamber
and lost at Fastlane.
He knows anyone can just declare themselves for the Battle Royals, righ-
His obsession has lead him to call out The Undertaker - where he’s tried numerous ways
to bring the Deadman out of retirement: calling him a coward, getting the crowd to chant ‘do
something’ and even beating his brother Kane.
Exasperated, Cena has now taken to Insta - which, I’m told, is what cool kids call Instagram
- to post weird things like this: an oddly drawn cartoon figure of Cena poking a giant,
smiling Undertaker head with a stick and the caption “C’mon, do something”.
Does the Undertaker even know what Insta is?

Sami Zayn Replies To Daniel Bryan Sami Zayn’s reply to Daniel Bryan’s WrestleMania
challenge, however, is far more threatening: “Daniel Bryan wants payback??
WE GLADLY ACCEPT.
He just made the biggest mistake of his life.
If he thought what we did to him last week was bad, just wait & see what we will do to
him after publicly firing us.
#Wrestlemania will be the worst night of Shane & Daniel’s lives.”
This comes after Bryan booked himself and Shane McMahon vs Kevin Owens and Zayn at WrestleMania
on last night’s SmackDown, with KO and Sami’s jobs on the line.
The match announcement is rather shocking, as earlier that day, WWE.com revealed McMahon
had been hospitalised with diverticulitis - the same disease that caused Brock Lesnar
to retire from MMA in 2011.
Shane then confirmed his hospitalisation on Insta.
Again, that’s what the cool kids are calling ‘Instagram’:
“Thank you everyone for the get well wishes.
It truly helps.
Im healing up, and I have the best medicine in the world with me.”
The Wrestling Observer followed this up, reporting Shane’s condition is “legitimate and not
part of the storyline currently going”, and that it was very unlikely he’d recover
in time for a match at WrestleMania.
It was expected WWE would change direction on last night’s SmackDown, but instead,
Bryan doubled down on the teaming with McMahon against KO and Zayn and officially announced
the match - with Daniel saying “due to complications from Sami and Kevin’s attack, Shane has
been hospitalised, but I have good reason to believe that he’ll be ready to go.”
And Shane isn’t the only one currently unable to wrestle...
Real Reason Charlotte Pulled From SmackDown Charlotte Flair was originally scheduled to
work double duty at last night’s SmackDown taping - being advertised in a rematch against
Natalya from the previous week, and then teaming with Bobby Roode to take on Finn Balor and
Sasha Banks in Mixed Match Challenge after the show.
But WWE.com revealed earlier in the day that Charlotte would be unable to compete due to
injury.
The SmackDown match was cancelled, and a fan vote was set up to choose Charlotte’s replacement
for Mixed Match Challenge.
Becky Lynch won by a landslide, and her and Roode went onto defeat Banks and Balor to
advance to the finals.
But what had happened to Charlotte, and will she be OK for WrestleMania?
PWInsider added she also didn’t appear at last weekend’s live events, and then F4WOnline
revealed the real reason for Charlotte’s absence was because of a trip to the dentist.
Charlotte reportedly “underwent minor dental surgery for a mouth infection last Wednesday”,
and Pro Wrestling Sheet add “she’s not likely to miss any further ring time and only
missed [SmackDown] due to swelling” - meaning she’ll be hopefully be fine for WrestleMania
next week.
