Hey guys, Welcome back to Wrestling world!
Today we’ll be discussing a few superstars that we usually don’t hear much from and
that’s John Cena and Edge.
Let’s see what they’re up to and what’s going on with them
John Cena’s last WWE appearance as the Firefly Funhouse at Wrestlemania 36
John Cena returned for the Wrestlemania season this year for what was supposed to be a big
match with The Fiend Bray Wyatt in front of 80,000 plus fans
Unfortunately that didn’t get get to happen.
The lockdown caused WWE to be more creative than ever and find a way to have this match
still go on
This led us to the Firefly Funhouse match
The firefly funhouse match wasn’t well received by fans because it wasn’t an actual match
and no actual fighting took place at all
It’s was more of a “trip down memory lane” and a flashback sort of segment
I appreciated the match for what it was.
Obviously it wasn’t a 5 star wrestling match, but it was unique, something we never saw
before, and it had a lot of story and meaning behind it
Bray Wyatt had the home field advantage for the entire match and was messing with John
Cena’s head the entire time
We took a look back at John Cena’s entire WWE career.
They recreated Cena’s big debut moment against Kurt Angle
They showcased the era in his career where he was a rapper.
They teased what it would’ve been like if he had a big heel turning moment, it really
showed a lot of things
Then on the flip side for Bray Wyatt, we saw the “eater or worlds” Bray Wyatt make
a return to get revenge on John Cena for the result of Wrestlemania 30
John Cena defeated Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania 30, putting an end to his momentum at the
time
So Bray’s mission here was to get revenge and show everyone that he should’ve won
that match from 6 years ago
So The Fiend appears, lays out John Cena, and wins the match
John Cena visually disappeared during the match and then he literally disappeared from
the WWE
A lot of fans understood the Wrestlemania match as his unique retirement match
We saw undertaker retire in his boneyard match and everyone assumed John Cena retired in
the firefly funhouse match
The way the match was set up to literally go through John Cena’s entire career from
start to finish made fans think that maybe that was his way of saying Goodbye
John Cena even played up to the rumor on Instagram after Wrestlemania and truly made it sound
like he’ll never wrestle again
Well fast forward a few months after those comments by Cena and it seems like he actually
isn’t done yet
John Cena was recently a guest on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon
The topic of wrestling was brought up into the conversation and John Cena confirmed his
return and said that talked about how he was still reaching out to his fans
John Cena had this to say:
“I have a very young audience in WWE, a lot of kids and families.
And as my in-ring career with WWE is not as active, although not over, I wanted to continue
to send messaging to those younger viewers.”
So that’s definitely some big news and confirmation from the Cena himself
I couldn’t really see John Cena going out like that from the Firefly Funhouse match,
that’s not the sort of exit anyone really had in mind for John Cena
John Cena’s farewell match just feels like it should be in front of a huge Wrestlemania
crowd, but considering where the world is and how busy John Cena is as well...it just
seems nearly impossible
John Cena is 43 years old and his acting career has been really skyrocketing lately
He’s in commercials, he’s in “Fast and Furious”, he’ll be appearing in DC’s
cinematic universe, and he’s even getting his own HBO show about his DC super villain
character....
So as you can see, it’s very hard to keep up with a schedule like that and it just makes
you wonder, when will he ever have free time to return to WWE?
That’s a good question.
No one really knows how and when his schedule will free up a bit, but at least it’s confirmed
by John Cena himself that he’s not done and will be returning to WWE
Who do you think Cena should take on next when he actually does return?

This is a very unfortunate update and some bad news from Edge
Edge’s return to WWE after being gone for 9 years and being told that he’ll never
wrestle again, is one of those truly special moments in WWE history
We heard the rumors leading up to Royal Rumble, it was just so hard to believe it, but it
was true
Edge returned to the WWE during the Royal Rumble match and everyone was in disbelief
We didn’t get to see Edge do much at all though because he only had one opponent for
his entire return run and that opponent was Randy Orton
It was a great story that went all the way until WWE Backlash
WWE had edge vs Randy Orton in what they labeled as “The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever”
They were so obsessed with making this match picture perfect and living up to the hype
that they even re-shot certain spots and moments in the match several times
That was great and all, but that’s unfortunately one of the things that got Edge injured
Edge was reportedly fine during the first take of the spot, but when they did the spot
again for the camera, reports claim that’s when he was hurt
Edge tore his triceps during the match and was done after that.
His injury was serious and early reports said that he’ll probably he back in time for
next year’s Wrestlemania
After Edge went down, reports claimed that Edge vs Randy Orton was already one of WWE’s
possibilities to main event Wrestlemania 37, but it’s now being rumored that WWE is no
longer looking at that match to the be the main event
So edge was taken out of action and Randy Orton was given this great storyline of taking
out legends
WWE even used Edge’s injury in Randy’s storyline just to show how vicious he was
and that actually works
When Randy comes out and says he put edge on the shelve, those words have impact because
of Edge’s legitimate injury
The time table for a return was always a bit foggy for edge, but he recently gave a detailed
update while speaking with busted open radio
Edge had this unfortunate news to share:
“I mean, I don’t know.
It’s a learning process because I’m going to be 47 next month, so I didn’t know how
I heal from injuries, surgeries [and] things like that.
It’s a slow process.
I’m not going to lie.
The triceps is a different thing.”
“I got back from an Achilles in six months, but I was 35 doing that, so at 10 plus years,
I don’t know.
It’s a different thing.
You don’t realize how much your triceps is involved in almost everything you do in
terms of arm movement.”
“So, I don’t know yet.
I know it’s a lot slower than I thought it was going to be because I just have this
mentality of, ‘Right.
No big deal.
Surgery, PT and we grind through it, we break down the scar tissue and off we go.’
So, I don’t know if it’s the injury itself [or] if it’s I’m a little older, I don’t
know what it is, but it’s not as fast as I would’ve liked.”
So definitely not what fans want to hear at all.
I don’t think it’s one of those things where edge is swerving us so that he can return
sooner than expected...
I think Edge is being fully honest here and it’s very unfortunate.
Like edge said, he doesn’t know if the injury is that serious or if it’s just age related,
but the process is taking much longer than he anticipated
So Edge’s update makes you really wonder if he would even be ready for Wrestlemania
37
Everyone wants to see Edge back as soon as possible.
Just look at Clash Of Champions.
WWE was having all the legends that Randy Orton injured over the last few months all
come back to get their revenge on him
How amazing would it have been for Edge to be that big surprise at the end, for him top
off all the returns and get his payback on Randy Orton
That’s what I was thinking when I was watching the match.
We had all of Randy Orton’s victims coming back to get their revenge and I was thinking
how cool it would’ve been to see Edge make this huge unexpected return in a moment like
that
But telling by Edge’s comments, he has no clue when he’ll actually be ready to return
But on the other hand, I’m glad he didn’t give an exact date because you do wanna keep
that surprise element alive
We wanna be surprised when he returns again and not know the exact the date of his return
before hand, so at least we still have that going
