Vince McMahon’s return to WWE is now being reported on by Wall Street Journal, so we’ll
see what’s that about.
We’ll also check out what Ronda Rousey had to say, what’s going on with Carmella, and
more
Let’s start things off with the big news that might’ve caught you off guard and that’s
Wall Street Journal’s report that Vince McMahon is making his return to WWE
They report that Vince McMahon, the majority owner and former chief executive of WWE, is
returning to the company in order to pursue a sale of the business
Vince McMahon reportedly has majority voting power through his ownership of WWE’s Class-B
stock
He has told the company that he is electing himself and two former co-presidents and directors,
Michelle Wilson and George Barrios, to the board
WWE issued a statement featuring some comments and descriptions about what’s going on
They said Vince McMahon’s new role will be to enable unified decision making through
the company's upcoming media rights negotiations and a parallel full review of the company's
strategic alternatives
Vince McMahon even issued a statement within that WWE post and had this is to say on if
he’ll interfere with WWE management, quote:
“WWE has an exceptional management team in place, and I do not intend for my return
to have any impact on their roles, duties, or responsibilities."
End quote
So everyone is a bit confused and no one knows what to really expect from this return, but
according to Vince McMahon, he’s not going to interfere with the actual product or the
management that’s already in place, he’s just taking his seat back on the board and
could start looking to sell the business real soon
He says that he won’t get involved with anything else besides that
So that’s the latest on Vince McMahon’s return to WWE, we’ll have to wait and see
if what he said turns out to be the truth

A very interesting clip is going viral that was posted by John Cena himself
The clip is from the December 30th edition of Smackdown
In this clip that Cena posted, he’s seen hanging out with New Day members, Kofi Kingston
and Xavier Woods
Jimmy Uso ends up passing by and dabs up John Cena, everyone walks away and Cena is left
standing there
The clip has already surpassed 12 million views on John Cena’s Tiktok and part of
the reason why it went so viral is because of how it shattered the forth wall in WWE’s
biggest on going storyline
Roman Reigns and The Bloodline are supposed to be this dominant faction that the entire
locker-room is supposed to be against
Just like what we saw on the January 2nd edition of Raw, The Bloodline is taking everyone out
and the locker-room all wants a piece of them
So it was a bit strange to see Jimmy Uso hanging around The New Day and John Cena
Plus the fact that Roman Reigns was set to face John Cena later on in that same night
makes things even more weird for Jimmy Uso here in this clip
And like fans joked about, Jimmy Uso better pray that Roman Reigns doesn’t get a hold
of this clip of him with John Cena and The New Day because obviously Roman is gonna have
a pretty big problem with it
So it was just a backstage clip before the show, but considering it was posted to John
Cena’s official page, it’s getting a lot of attention
So it’ll be interesting to see if WWE will take advantage of this viral clip and maybe
incorporate into the on-screen storylines down the line
Everyone expects the next few months to be full of roadblocks for The Bloodline
So who knows if this John Cena and Jimmy Uso could resurface and pop back up again once
The Bloodline starts to drift apart
If they decide to use this clip for the story, it can be very interesting and lead us down
many different paths for the story
So keep this John Cena and Jimmy Uso moment in the back of your head just in case it pops
back up again later on

Lots of drama was going on over on Twitter between Carmella and the fans
Carmella posted a gif with a woman sipping tea with a slight smirk on her.
No caption with the post, just the simple gif
It literally could’ve been about anything but there were some fans out there that gravitated
towards it being related to Mercedes Monay’s debut in Japan
The post was made just a few hours after Mercedes’ debut and some fans assumed it was related
to that
Obviously, no one knows if it was related or not, but assuming it was, fans were discussing
the possibility that maybe Carmella was implying that she was the first one to really use money
with her character
One of Carmella’s biggest taglines for her character is of course “Mella is Money”
And she has worn gear that’s fully themed after money and had all these other money
related things for her presentation
So fans are wondering if Carmella’s gif post was meant to throw shade at Mercedes
Monay because obviously the word “Monay” is meant to be a play on the word “Money”
So again, it’s all open to interpretation since it’s just a cryptic gif post with
no caption, but that was the popular fan theory on what Carmella’s post could possible be
about
As far as things go with Carmella, she’s been out of the ring for several months now
after suffering an injury
There’s been no update or word at all on when Carmella is expected back in the ring
And as far as things for for Mercedes, everyone expects the start of 2023 to continue to be
explosive for her
WWE has officially moved her to their alumni section, so this is all real and happening.
She’s no longer under contract at all with WWE
She’s rumored to appear at AEW, she had a big New Japan Pro Wrestling match coming
up, and could continue to make even more appearances on her world domination tour
So it’ll be a very interesting situation to monitor

Ronda Rousey recently dropped a quote during one of her livestreams that made a lot of
waves amongst the community
When talking about what could be next for herself in WWE, Ronda had this to say, quote:
"I don't know, guys, I'm kind of tired of Charlotte.
I'm tired of that title.
I already did it, you know?
I'm thinking of taking over the tag division.”
End quote
And that quote is getting lots of mixed reactions from the fans
Sure, it’s okay to say that you want to explore the tag team division, but the way
that she said that she’s tired of the Smackdown women’s title is the most surprising line
there
The WWE titles, especially the singles titles, are supposed to be the most prestigious possessions
in WWE that everyone is always going after no matter what
If you’re the current champion, you’re defending it against every challenger that
appears
If you’re not the champion, then your eyes should still be on the world title at all
times, trying to climb back into it and win the title
That’s just common sense for how pro wrestling works.
If you’re not the current champion, then your current biggest goal has to be winning
the world title, everything else comes second
So Ronda’s comments there basically buried the title and belittled it
She said that she’s bored of the world title and basically how it’s beneath her now
Which is just again pretty insane to actually hear someone say out loud
The title is supposed to always be bigger than the superstar who’s holding it
It’s a great prestigious prize in WWE that has rich history of so many past greats that
all held that same title, so for someone to come along and say “well I’m bored of
that title, I’m moving on”… that’s just insane and hurts the overall integrity
of the title
But we’ll see what’s next for Ronda Rousey and if she does get involved with the tag
team titles
