16-time WWE Champion John Cena was a guest on “Ellen,” where he was scheduled to talk about his upcoming movie “Blockers,” and what it transpired into was something Cena could never have expected. Conversation on the show between Ellen and Cena turned to why Cena hadn’t originally attended his prom. Not satisfied with his reasoning, Ellen decided she would throw the former Champion an impromptu prom.
Cena didn’t have long to wonder who his date was for the prom, as his fiance in Nikki Bella had actually teamed with Ellen to appear as his date.
You can view the incredible segment below:

Ellen took to her Instagram account to share a picture of the happy couple dancing from the prom segment.
@JohnCena is so big I needed to get him a big surprise. Watch tomorrow.

Bella followed this up with her own personal photo- more of a close-up of the couple as they smile for the cam..

It better be worth the wait. With just over two weeks to go before “Wrestlemania XXXIV”, the vast majority of the card is already set. What isn’t set is Braun Strowman’s partner in his challenge for the Raw Tag Team Titles. Strowman has said he has a partner, but when will we find out who that is?
Here’s how he got the shot.

According to 411mania.com, Strowman’s partner might not be announced until “Wrestlemania XXXIV” itself. The match has already been confirmed by General Manager Kurt Angle, who said the match could take place provided Angle could find a partner. Strowman earned the shot by winning a tag team battle royal on his own last week on “Monday Night Raw”. This week, Strowman started going after the champs. Check out the results right here.
Opinion: This works for me as a surprise at “Wrestlemania” could be just the right call. Let us see what WWE can put together (though Elias seems to be the most likely choice) as Strowman ..

Wrestlemania IX
Date: April 4, 1993
Location: Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, Nevada
Attendance: 16,891
Commentators: Jim Ross, Bobby Heenan, Randy Savage
This is one of the weakest cards the series has ever seen. Nothing on the show feels important with the main event of Bret Hart defending the WWF World Title against Royal Rumble winner Yokozuna feeling lukewarm at best. The second biggest match is Hulk Hogan/Brutus Beefcake challenging Money Inc. for the Tag Team Titles. Like I said: not the strongest card. Let’s get to it.
Gorilla Monsoon is the host this year, meaning he’ll be on screen for less than five minutes. Like everyone else, Monsoon is in a toga because it’s a toga party. I’m still not sure who thought this was a good idea.
In one of the major moments of the show, Jim Ross (JR) makes his WWF debut and talks about the main events before taking his place as lead commentator. I really could have gone through life without ever seeing him in a toga.

Wrestlemania XII
Date: March 31, 1996
Location: Arrowhead Pond, Anaheim, California
Attendance: 18,853
Commentators: Jerry Lawler, Vince McMahon
Much like last year, there’s nothing else to talk about besides the main event. This is all about Shawn vs. Bret and they’re not even trying to hide it. The other big match on the card is Diesel vs. Undertaker but it’s so far behind the World Title match that it’s not fair to mention them in the same breath. Let’s get to it.
Before we get to the show, here’s a bonus that probably should have been on the main card (at least on paper). Occasionally WWF would air a match on their pre-show (known as the Kickoff Show in modern times) and I’ll include them if they’re available. There were dark matches for years before Wrestlemania would go on the air but this is the first that was actually recorded. Free For All: Tag Team Titles: Godwinns vs. Bodydonnas
This is a tournament final for the vacant titles. The Bodydonnas (Skip and Zip, a pair of e..

Yes indeed. In what might be the biggest wrestling story of the year, Daniel Bryan has been cleared for his in-ring return. The news broke earlier this week in a huge announcement, followed by a major speech on “Smackdown Live”. One question has been when Bryan was cleared to return to the ring, and who would know better than him?
It’s sooner than you would think.

In a new video posted to WWE’s YouTube channel, Bryan said that he was cleared on Monday night. This may go a long way to explain the emotion involved in Bryan’s speech, where he talked about following his dreams. The video shows him going through the process of writing his speech, which aired on this week’s “Smackdown Live”. You can read this week’s results here.
Opinion: Bryan may not be the biggest guy in the world but he’s one of the best in recent memory at getting the fans to believe in him. He really does come off as one of the nicest guys in wrestling and that means th..

Well, they are the greatest. Earlier this year, WWE announced the Greatest Royal Rumble, a special taking place in Saudi Arabia. The show will feature a fifty man Royal Rumble plus seven more title matches on the card. Now though, we’re getting a special bonus that could bring in a few more viewers.
They did it before, they can do it again.

According to Jerry Lawler on his “Dinner with the King” podcast, he and Jim Ross will be handling the commentary for the show. The pair were last together at January’s “Raw 25” special. In addition, according to PWInsider.com by way of 411mania.com, the special will be airing on the WWE Network. The show airs on April 27 from Saudi Arabia, with the first show broadcast from the country. Opinion: What a nice little bonus. I know they might not be as good as they used to be, but Lawler and Ross are as good of a commentary duo as there has been in the last thirty years. Let them work some of their magic ..

One is a Samoan named Joe. In less than three weeks, Roman Reigns faces one of the biggest challenges of his life as he meets Universal Champion Brock Lesnar at “Wrestlemania XXXIV”. While the title change may seem academic at this point, Reigns still needs something to do after the show. We may have a clue what that’s going to be.
There’s definitely a history here.

According to “Wrestling Observer Radio” by way of 411mania.com, Reigns’ next feud after “Wrestlemania” will be against Samoa Joe. The two feuded back in 2017 and were both part of the four way “Summerslam 2017” main event. Samoa Joe has been on the injured list with a foot injury since January. Reigns was busy on Monday, which you can recap here.
Opinion: This works for me as these two have had some excellent chemistry in the past. Let them go out there and beat on each other for a few months and the good matches will be academic. If nothing else Reigns has had issues beatin..

Commentators: Josh Matthews, Sonjay Dutt
It’s time to find out what happened last week in Feast or Fired. Tonight is the opening of the briefcases and that means three people are getting title shots while a fourth is getting fired. The firing isn’t the biggest surprise in the world but there’s still some interest elsewhere. Let’s get to it.
The case holders (Eli Drake, Moose, Petey Williams and Ethan Carter III) arrive as Josh recaps last week’s match.
Recap of Feast of Fired.
Opening sequence.
Here’s Alberto El Patron to say he can fight even if he’s in a suit. He’s ready to fight a real champion in Austin Aries, but Aries doesn’t know who really is the greatest man that ever lived. Cue Aries to talk about how they’re no so different. They’re willing to punch people in the face and they love professional wrestling. Aries is the truth though and the title match is on for Redemption. Alberto says they ..

It has been previously reported that WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has been ready for a return to the company for a long time. That time may be here before we know it.
According to a new report from PWInsider, talks between WWE and Hogan are ongoing for a return to the company. They began several weeks ago.
At this time, there is no word yet as to what role Hogan would play for WWE. The company had the following statement regarding the return:
“We have had discussions with Terry Bollea (aka Hulk Hogan) about how he can help others learn from his mistakes, however, he is not under any contract with WWE.”
Hogan was last associated with WWE in 2015. However, following the conclusion of a sex scandal as well as hearing of several racial slurs made on tape, WWE terminated their relationship with the “Immortal One,” and removed all references to him on their website.
Editor’s Opinion:
If this ends up being a reality, WWE has to be very careful how they handle this. With all of the posit..

Daniel Bryan was recently interviewed by Al Arabiya English where he discussed a number of topics. Among them were the upcoming “Greatest Royal Rumble,” John Cena, his WWE contract and more. Bryan was recently medically cleared to return to in-ring competition. You can see a video of his speech after he heard the news below:

Below are some questions along with Bryan’s answers. It should be noted that this interview was conducted before he was medically cleared:
What are your thoughts on WWE’s upcoming Greatest Royal Rumble in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia?
This is something that I’m really excited about. I don’t know if I’m coming or not, but I’m crossing my fingers that I am coming to the show in Saudi Arabia on April 27th. Wrestlemania is a big event, the biggest event of the year for us, but I think, historically, the show on the 27th might end up being more important, if you look at where WWE’s trajectory goes and our influence on the region. I..

‘Raw‘ Superstars Sheamus and Cesaro were interviewed on Edge & Christian’s Podcast of Awesomeness where they spoke about the bar scene they were involved in and finding new people to face as the Raw Tag Team Champions. Christian asked Sheamus and Cesaro if they gave the team their all when they were first told they’d be teaming. Sheamus responded.
“I was in from the beginning, the get-go. We both talked about it, like, where we were, and we battered each other in the best of seven [series] to remind people just how good we were and what we could do. And then, the tag team thing came along and we jumped on it. It came out of left field. We had no idea where the whole thing was going.”
Sheamus explained what he would have ideally liked to see at ‘WrestleMania 34’ for the Raw Tag Team Championship.
“Regarding the tweet I put out [last week] or whatever, like, I got loads of stuff. The Young Bucks replied that young kid Bubba Ray Dudley replied, that young kid, The Authors Of Pain were ..

‘Woken’ Matt Hardy wowed fans, as Twitter blew up in positivity following the ‘Ultimate Deletion’ match on ‘Raw’ this week. With everything that accomplished, could we see another ‘Ultimate Deletion’ on WWE TV? On Twitter itself, the hashtag for the ‘Ultimate Deletion’ was trending over two hours, as Hardy mentioned himself. It had a mixed-to-positive reaction overall.
Make that well OVAH 2 hours that #UltimateDELETION has been the #1 WORLDWIDE TREND…
WONDERFUL! pic.twitter.com/mBBUkLnICp

As we previously reported, while fans at home were watching the segment, Braun Strowman, Elias and Kane had a segment for the live audience instead. There was also an appearance by Ronda Rousey, who got physical against Titus Worldwide statistician Dana Brooke.
So what if those viewers want to see Hardy take on Wyatt in the Ultimate Deletion at home? Well, if Cageside Seats are correct… they may not be able to.
If you didn’t watch the live ver..
