Today we’ll be taking a look at several new comments from John Cena, a cancelled feud
for Roman Reigns, Alexa Bliss, and much more
Let kick things with John Cena.
Cena hasn’t been seen on WWE programming since Summerslam, but he’s obviously still
very active in the Hollywood scene
John Cena is currently on a media run to promote his new HBO series ‘PeaceMaker’, which
will center around his DC comics Villain character
The series has been in production for a long time
Quick fun fact, this is the project that made actually John Cena miss Wrestlemania 37 as
well because they were still in the middle of filming at that time
But everything has been finished and the series is dropping this week
John Cena has made some big appearances on The Ellen Show, The Rich Eisen show, and much
more, so let’s take a some of the topics he had to talk about there
Ellen asked John Cena about Wrestlemania and a WWE return, Cena had this to say in regards
to that topic, quote:
“So, WrestleMania is usually in the cusp of late March, early April.
I don’t know if I’m gonna make it this year and that’s a good conundrum to have
because there’s a lot of good opportunity coming up which I would love to take and if
all those things line up, I don’t know if I’ll be able to make WrestleMania but I
will tell you and everybody else out there watching, I’m not done with WWE by a long
shot.
That’s my home, I love it.”
End quote
Of course when it comes to this topic of Wrestlemania returns, it’s always hard to trust what
a superstar is saying because obviously they’re gonna say that they can’t make it just to
keep it a surprise
So that’s what makes it hard to trust Cena’s words here.
Is he telling the truth about not being able to make it or could there still be a last
second surprise that he obviously wouldn’t tell us about?
That’s what makes that hard to believe
If John Cena does miss Wrestlemania 38, it’ll be his second missed Wrestlemania in a row
His last wrestlemania appearance was the Firefly Funhouse match and his last legitimate match
in front of a Wrestlemania crowd was Wrestlemania 34
So it’s been quite sometime since John Cena had a real Wrestlemania match, but if he’s
telling the truth here then it looks like it’ll be another missed mania for him after
all
Of course the positive thing that Cena confirmed there in those same comments is that he’s
not done with WWE, he did confirm that he’ll eventually return and will be back
John Cena then appeared on the Rich Eisen show and finally broke his silence on the
recent WWE releases
For nearly two years now, everyone has become accustomed to WWE releasing superstars left
and right
John Cena has never really commented on the situation until now
He had this to say while speaking with Rich Eisen, quote:
"They're also really bullish on continuing to hire new talent so the NXT Performance
Center is…
I don't want to say overwhelmed, but they're at max capacity.
So you have all of these performers and a lot of them aren't getting a chance to perform
and I think that's the real frustrating thing, both to the WWE and from a stance of a performer…
I was brought up in bi-annual cuts and it happened all the time and I just think WWE
went through such a long period of not releasing anybody and now they're kind of getting back
into that rhythm again, that it is a very abrupt shift to somebody who's not familiar
with that and I do.
My heart goes out to everybody who has to get that sad news because that's a tough conversation
to have.”
end quote
So Cena is saying that back in his day, that was the norm, everyone was used to these massive
releases every so often, but then WWE stopped releasing superstars for such a long time
that Cena feels like it’s definitely a sudden shift to what this new generation was used
to
Cena then appeared on Pat’s show and talked about how they almost turned him heel during
the feud with The Rock, he had this to say about that, quote:
"I remember Vince toyed with the idea of turning me heel versus The Rock in Miami.
I said, 'No problem, I understand, I'll do it.
Just remember that we are so deep in at this point that we can't do it and then jump back
because we'll be sunk at both ends.'
If we do it, I have to be the opposite of virtue, I have to be pure evil and we go all
in.'
From a believability standpoint, people always see me in uniform because I want people to
know that what they see is someone they can relate to.
He decided against it and at that point he said, 'I don't think we're ever going to do
it.'”
End quote
So that’s the closest that Vince McMahon ever got to turning John Cena fully heel,
it would’ve been during that 2012 feud with The Rock
Even though Cena never turned heel during that feud, he was still treated like a heel
from the crowd, especially with Wrestlemania being in The Rock’s hometown that year,
that played a factor as well
But it was very interesting to hear John Cena discuss all these different topics and hopefully
we see him back in a ring soon

Quick update for Alexa Bliss
Alexa Bliss took to her Instagram story to post a picture of herself with all pink hair
Alexa’s blonde hair with the pink tips is a signature look for her character
Even throughout the entire Bray Wyatt change in her persona, she still kept that pink tipped
look, so Alexa posting this picture of a new look was quite the big news because she has
had the same hair for all these years
So fans were freaking out wondering if this was Alexa basically “leaking” a new look
for what she’ll be like towards the end of these therapy sessions
Other fans were discussing if it was a wig or if it was a filter
some fans thought it looked real, so it was this big debate and discussion amongst the
fans
Alexa has done this before, she teased black tipped hair for Wrestlemania 35, but it never
happened
So it’s definitely interesting, is Alexa just messing around and trying these different
looks out for fun, or could this be a legitimate new look she brings to WWE television in the
future
Watch out for a fully pink hair version of Alexa Bliss possibly in the future

Roman Reigns has just surpassed 500 days as WWE Universal Champion and in a few days,
he’ll become the longest reigning universal champion of all time
He’s had a lot of great feuds during his time as champion, but there’s some feuds
that we never had the chance to see
First one obviously being with Jeff Hardy
It was reported that Heyman and Roman were on board and excited to work with Jeff Hardy
That feud was rumored for early 2022, but obviously didn’t take place due to Hardy’s
release
Another former WWE superstar that was supposed to work with Roman was Karrion Kross
Kross revealed in a recent interview that he had originally heard rumblings that there
were plans for him to work with Roman Reigns, Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton,
and all these other massive superstars
But everyone knows how that went as well, NXT version of Kross probably could’ve done
something with Roman and all those other names, but main roster Kross was basically ruined
during his first night on Raw
So it’s unfortunate how that turned out, but we could’ve seen Kross and Reigns down
the line as well
