Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena drops surprising name for GOAT wrestler turned actor
John Cena (Image Source: Getty) As transcribed by Complex, Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena may have opened a few eyes when he declared that Dave Bautista is the GOAT among wrestlers-turned-actors. John Cena himself has transitioned quite successfully into Hollywood, but he recognizes that Bautista's versatility and range earned him his respect. John Cena's tribute to WWE legend Dave Bautista During the latest interview, John Cena expressed his admiration for Dave Bautista as an actor, stating: 'I'm gonna give respect where respect is earned, Dave Bautista. Dude has range, and has now transformed his whole body. The stuff he's about to do…look out for Dave Bautista. The stuff he's already done is incredible, but as far as wrestler turned actor with like the range — Dave's got range.' This line echoes what Cena thinks of Bautista's commitment and the different roles Bautista has been facing in Hollywood. Dave Bautista's transformation into a Hollywood A-lister While Dave Bautista was a massive draw for fans in the WWE ring, he has now proven himself as a legitimate star in the film industry. His breakout role that put him on the map for audiences was Drax the Destroyer in the MCU. Bautista has since been getting more of his acting chops out there, showing up in Blade Runner 2049, Spectre, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, and Knock at the Cabin. In addition to his acting, Bautista has, at least physically, changed a lot for different roles, maintaining his versatility. He has lost a ton of heft for finer roles, no longer lugging around the bulk he sported during his wrestling career. Also Read: Watch: WWE legend John Cena makes surprise Wimbledon appearance; video goes viral In another way, John Cena is complementing Bautista by calling him a GOAT or Greatest of All Time among wrestlers who stepped in front of the camera, and he gets exactly how much success Bautista has brought in both worlds, the sport and the film industry. That respect can only be shared between two men who started from the same place, the WWE, and traversed a similar path to Hollywood, a journey that with Cena and Bautista continues to evolve. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

WWE star Roman Reigns and Galina Becker celebrates the birth of sixth child ahead of anticipated return
Roman Reigns and Galina Becker (Image Source: Getty) Roman Reigns has reached a big personal milestone: the WWE superstar and his wife, Galina Becker, have welcomed their sixth child to their family. The news came out hot from Q&A of the recent wrestling session, eliciting no negative reactions from fans, much like the rumors surrounding; just a few weeks after the brand owned by the WWE, Reigns' return to WWE. As always, the couple is private about their family life, and this time is no different. Reigns and Galina, who also share a daughter, Joelle, and two sets of twin boys, have welcomed another baby. While the name and gender have not been revealed yet, a recent Q&A session confirmed the news, which included reliable WWE insiders. Roman Reigns welcomes 6th child, continues extended break from WWE Roman Reigns was removed from the WWE setup shortly after WrestleMania 41, having been informally taken out by his assailants, Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker, in an attack post-WrestleMania 41 during a storyline. Even though his absence makes sense for the storyline, it's worth noting that many sources have hinted that Reigns is partly doing this to spend time with his family and personal life, as the newest member of the Anoa'i household just recently made the addition. This happened months after Reigns had been absent from the ring, but he still is a big topic of conversation in WWE. His merch remains top notch, and sources have indicated that his comeback is being plotted in the background. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo There have been internal WWE meetings where creative routes and concepts were discussed for his return. So clearly, the 'Tribal Chief' will be brought back as a major player. The news of this baby was confirmed during a WrestleVotes Q&A session, which was hosted by Joe Lowry: 'By the way, congratulations to Roman Reigns. He just had another baby. Good stuff there.' Information on the baby, like a name or sex, has been kept quiet by the couple's longstanding preference for privacy. Since welcoming their bundle of joy, Reigns and Becker have maintained a private family life. SummerSlam return likely on the horizon Sources in the industry say SummerSlam in August is the most likely place for Reigns to come back. According to the same report, WWE is working on some new branding assets for him, a possible character transformation. Whatever this comeback consists of, it could be all that comes back that can see a battle with any of The Bloodline members, perhaps a high-stakes skirmish including Solo Sikoa or Jimmy Uso, or could also just resemble his previous face-off with Seth Rollins before.

Former WWE star Matt Riddle's Toilet photo sparks buzz Right now, though, Reigns seems to be reveling in fatherhood — all six of them — away from the chaos of the ring. However, as WWE's biggest summer spectacle looms, it seems only a matter of time before the return of the Tribal Chief—and what could be an era-defining one.
