Huge Update On Roman Reigns To WWE Following His Title Loss To Cody Rhodes At WrestleMania 40

WWE fans eager to see the return of Roman Reigns after his WrestleMania loss to Cody Rhodes might have a clue, but with a caveat. ## The official WWE website lists upcoming events and the superstars expected to appear. Currently, the next show featuring Roman Reigns is SmackDown on August 2nd, the night before SummerSlam.## However, these listings are subject to change, and Reigns' appearance isn't guaranteed. Additionally, the website excludes events in Saudi Arabia, so a potential appearance at King & Queen of the Ring on May 25th wouldn't be reflected there.## Reigns was noticeably absent from the post-WrestleMania Raw, which saw appearances by The Rock, John Cena, and the new champion, Cody Rhodes. During the opening segment, The Rock hinted at a future match with Rhodes upon his return.## So, will the WWE Universe see the "Tribal Chief" before SummerSlam? Only time and perhaps a future announcement from WWE will tell. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Roman Reigns Makes His First Post-WrestleMania 40 Comments; 'Yesterday I Mourned, Today Is Day 1'

WrestleMania 40 saw a historic upset as Cody Rhodes defeated Roman Reigns, ending his dominant reign as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. ## Reigns, known for his power and ruthlessness, likely dominated parts of the match. But Cody Rhodes, fueled by his determination, must have countered and landed some decisive blows. ## Initially, Roman Reigns had backup from his family unit, The Bloodline.

They tried to interfere on Reigns' behalf, likely through sneak attacks or stopping Cody from winning moments. ## There was a surprising turn of events with Jey Uso going against The Bloodline. He countered Jimmy Uso's interference and took both of them out, creating an opening for Cody. The match saw the return of legendary wrestlers John Cena and The Undertaker. They played a role in disrupting Reigns' strategy or momentum. ## Taking to Twitter, Roman Reigns shared his first reaction since losing the game. Reigns stated the following: "Yesterday I mourned. Today is Day 1." ## Yesterday I mourned.Today is Day 1. pic.twitter.com/YzWOVn3JDK— Roman Reigns (@WWERomanReigns) April 9, 2024 ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

John Cena on Going Naked On The Oscars 2024 Stage: 'Make Me As Naked As Possible, So Disney Says It's Too Naked'

John Cena's "nude" appearance at the 2024 Oscars to present the Best Costume Design award became a viral moment and generated a lot of buzz online. Many fans were surprised and amused by Cena's entrance. It was unexpected and played on the streaker incident from the 1974 Oscars. Videos and memes quickly circulated on social media platforms. ## The comedic exchange between Cena and Jimmy Kimmel before the award presentation added to the lightheartedness of the moment. Fans appreciated the playful reference to Oscar history and Cena's willingness to poke fun at himself. ## This stunt gave the Oscars a burst of unexpected publicity. News outlets and social media users widely discussed it, keeping the ceremony relevant in online conversations. While many found it humorous, some viewers felt the stunt was inappropriate for the prestigious ceremony. ## While speaking On The Pat McAfee Show, Cena stated the following; ## "I think, I do take it seriously, but I take it seriously not to make myself look cool. Because if you try to look cool all the time, you're just chasing a perfect view of yourself that doesn't exist. Man, I know I got a bald spot on the back of my head. I flossed it last night at WrestleMania, me, you, and like seven out of 10 dudes have them, so I don't care. I'm not perfect. That's not me. So I think instead of trying to craft every situation to how can I look the strongest or the best, I look at every situation about how can we make this the best situation. ## when we go over the Oscar bit and they're like, "Ah, do you want to wear Spanx or spandex or a speedo?" No, make me as naked as possible. So Disney says it's too naked. That's how we go. That's the funny bit. That's the gag. That's why everyone's entertained. Yeah, and I think that's what leads to polarizing opinions, and that's what leads to interest, and people can have that stuff and say like, "Oh, this is this," but it is what it is. It's free for you to decide what you want." ## John Cena's appearance at WrestleMania 40 was indeed a brief one, lasting only about 90 seconds. He interfered in the main event, the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. ## If you use this transcription or any portion of it please credit Sacnilk.com and link to this page ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

John Cena: 'I Will Always Be Part Of The WWE Family, But The Time To Compete In The Ring Has Come To An End'

John Cena's appearance at WrestleMania 40 was indeed a brief one, lasting only about 90 seconds. Here's what went down. He interfered in the main event, the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns.## Cena took down Solo Sikoa, a member of Reigns' Bloodline entourage, with a signature move. There was a brief confrontation between Cena and his old rival, The Rock. ## This appearance seemed to be a way to acknowledge Cena's legacy in WWE while putting the spotlight on the current generation of wrestlers. In an interview with Pat McAfee after WrestleMania, Cena stated that he will always be part of the WWE family, but the time to compete in the ring has come to a close. ## "I'll change my shirt, but you guys know that comes with a uniform change. So, last night wasn't my last night. So this doesn't mean this is my last uniform." ## "So it's not tough because of the foundation I laid and the promise I made to each and every person who pays attention and gives of themselves to WWE. When I feel I can no longer perform at the capacity of the product, it is time to step away. That's not tough. The toughest thing is that I love it so much, uh, and you can still do it at a high level. Uh, yeah. So, when that time is gone, that means that it's done. I'm actively trying to craft that path right now. So, uh, I've put a line in the sand for myself for 50, and I honestly think it's going to be before that. ## I'll be 47 in a few weeks, so we got time still. Many are calling this the greatest WrestleMania ever, right? And I agree. What a spectacle, what a fantastic WrestleMania. But that's because of the talent that actually put the time in. I showed up for 90 seconds. This is the greatest WrestleMania, with or without my involvement, and that is because of the superstars we have now and their contribution to the business. It is going to be time soon for me to go, and I'm embracing that and enjoying it. It allows me to be present, don't I? I can say this with the utmost certainty: I will always, always be part of the WWE family, but the time to compete in the ring has come to a close." ## If you use this transcription or any portion of it please credit Sacnilk.com and link to this page. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

John Cena Praises Cody Rhodes: Hopes For Future Advocacy As 'Greatest of All Time'

John Cena was at WrestleMania 40, he appeared in the main event, which was a match between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns for the WWE Championship. During the climax of the match, Roman Reigns' faction, The Usos, along with Solo Sikoa, interfered to help Reigns. John Cena entered the ring and fought off Sikoa and another wrestler. The Rock also joined the fray, taking down Cena. ## Just as The Rock looked to have the upper hand, The Undertaker's iconic entrance music hit, sending the crowd into a frenzy. The Undertaker appeared and chokeslammed The Rock, creating a huge moment at WrestleMania. ## With now, Cody Rhodes now holding the WWE Championship, Cena predicts that he will be the greatest of all time in the coming year. On The Pat McAfee Show, John Cena stated the following about Rhodes. ## "So, in the biggest event of the year, with our most important prize on the line, I am just an advocate for a fair chance, okay? You know I'm a huge fan of Cody Rhodes, but you also know I'm a huge fan of Roman Reigns. I believe Roman Reigns is the greatest of all time. Okay, again, what's great about WWE is you can have your opinion and you can voice yours, and I think that's fantastic. Will Cody Rhodes be the greatest of all time? He's put himself in a good position.## So, going back to what I said about Roman Reigns, that doesn't mean that Cody Rhodes cannot be the greatest of all time. I just want people to understand that I think what's been done so far, you have to put Roman Reigns in that slot, but Cody's story... Cody's story starts, you know? The whole theme of WrestleMania was finishing the story. His story starts today. I told him in the ring last night, and I'm sure he'll be able to relay this same message. ## When I got to embrace him, he had the championship in his right hand, and I said, "Do you feel that?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Do you feel how heavy it is?" He said, "Yes." I said, "It will get heavier every day." Oh, that's deep because that is the burden you bear of trying to craft the path to being the greatest of all time. I hope... I hope, and this should be the goal for the business, every performer should pass the torch up. So, I hope a year from now, two years from now, three years from now, we can all sit here and be advocates that Cody Rhodes is the greatest of all time because that's the way it should work." ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Top 5 WWE Raw Moments (4/8): The Rock And Cody Rhodes Face-To-Face, John Cena Returns, Jey Uso Earns Title Shot

The night after WrestleMania XL delivered a jam-packed show, filled with championship celebrations, surprise returns, brutal brawls, and a shocking main event twist. While it might not have reached the epic heights of WrestleMania itself, Raw provided a solid foundation for the upcoming storylines and left fans with plenty to discuss. ## Here are the top 5 moments from the night: ## 1. A New Era Dawns with Cody Rhodes (and The Rock Appears): ## The show kicked off with a heartwarming celebration for the new Undisputed WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes. Triple H introduced Rhodes, who received an ovation from the Philadelphia crowd. A touching video package chronicled Rhodes' journey to the top, culminating in his emotional victory over Roman Reigns.## However, the celebration took a surprising turn with the arrival of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. The crowd's initial excitement quickly turned to boos as The Rock acknowledged Rhodes' victory but then challenged him for the title, hinting at a future showdown between the two legends. While the segment went on for nearly 45 minutes, it effectively planted the seeds for a potential blockbuster match and added intrigue to Rhodes' reign. ## 2. John Cena Makes a Surprise Return: ## One of the biggest pops of the night came when John Cena's music hit during a six-man tag team match. R-Truth, in a hilarious moment, claimed Cena as his invisible partner to even the odds against Judgment Day. The surprise return of the legendary Cena added a layer of excitement to the match and his signature moves alongside Truth and Miz resulted in a feel-good victory for the makeshift trio. This unexpected appearance not only added star power to the show but also left fans wondering if a more permanent return for Cena might be in the cards. ## 3. NXT Makes its Presence Felt: ## The night showcased the future of WWE with call-ups from NXT. Ilja Dragunov, the new NXT Champion, opened the show with an impressive victory over Shinsuke Nakamura. This dominant performance served as a strong introduction to the hard-hitting European wrestler. Additionally, Roxanne Perez, the newly crowned NXT Women's Champion, defeated Indi Hartwell. These victories not only established the dominance of NXT champions but also hinted at a potential future crossover and integration with the main roster. ## 4. Sami Zayn's Intercontinental Title Win and its Aftermath: ## Sami Zayn's emotional victory over Gunther to win the Intercontinental Championship was a feel-good moment for the underdog. His heartfelt speech acknowledging his supporters and even thanking Kevin Owens resonated with the audience. However, the celebration was short-lived as Imperium's Giovanni Vinci and Ludwig Kaiser confronted Zayn. The tension escalated with the arrival of Chad Gable, setting the stage for a potential tag team partnership between Zayn and Gable. Later, Zayn announced a title defense against Gable next week on Raw in Montreal, adding another layer of intrigue to the burgeoning Intercontinental Championship storyline.## 5. CM Punk's Shocking Interference in the No. 1 Contender's Match: ## The main event of the night, a Fatal Four-Way match to determine the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship, delivered a chaotic and entertaining encounter. Drew McIntyre, Ricochet, Bronson Reed, and Jey Uso battled it out, showcasing their athleticism and signature moves. The closing moments saw Jey Uso emerge victorious, setting him up for a title shot against Damian Priest. However, the biggest story came after the match.## As McIntyre appeared poised to challenge Punk for his actions at WrestleMania, Punk shockingly emerged from under the ring and tripped McIntyre, allowing Jey Uso to secure the win. This devious act by Punk left fans with a major cliffhanger and hinted at a potentially brutal rivalry between him and McIntyre in the coming weeks. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
