'Jon's a former WWE champion,' he said. 'He's competed and performed with some of the best people in the world. Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, The Shield. I didn't know him. I put out a promo attempting to pique intrigue to see if that's a match people wanted. They wanted it. He didn't know me. I didn't know him.'
Karrion Kross reveals Jon Moxley complimented his work
'I really wanted to work with him as soon as I found out that he wasn't signed, and he showed up. We didn't know each other. We worked, and then as soon as we got backstage, it feels weird talking about somebody else giving you compliments about your work. It is. But he was very complimentary, and that's where that conversation began and not to stir the pot, but I just, I want Jon to be happy wherever he is.
'I do hope one day. I do hope one day that he does come back to WWE because I think it would be insane. I think it would be insane, and I would love to compete with him here. I would love to compete with him here so we can finish what we started. That's what I will say.' [H/T Fightful]

John Cena Gives A Blunt Answer About Running For President
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. John Cena has made it clear that he has no plans to run for president of the United States. He gave a definitive answer when asked about a potential political career. The topic has come up as Cena plays the president in his new movie, Heads Of State. The idea of wrestlers running for office has been floated before with stars like The Rock. John Cena On A Presidential Run In a new interview with On Demand Entertainment, Cena was asked about possibly running for president. He quickly ruled out the idea. His response was brief and to the point. When presented with the idea, Cena simply said, "Not a chance." This firm answer separates Cena from other performers who have flirted with the idea of a political future. While a handful of professional wrestlers have successfully transitioned into the world of politics, the path is not a common one. The most prominent success story is Jesse "The Body" Ventura, who was elected Governor of Minnesota in 1998, serving one full term.

Others have tried, with former WWE CEO Linda McMahon making two expensive but unsuccessful runs for a U.S. Senate seat before serving as the Administrator of the Small Business Administration. While Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has been the subject of serious polling and discussion for a potential presidential run, he has never officially entered a race. Cena stars alongside Idris Elba and Priyanka Chopra Jonas in the action-comedy Heads of State, which premiered on Amazon Prime Video on July 2, 2025. The film, directed by Nobody's Ilya Naishuller, features a plot reminiscent of classic buddy-action movies. Cena plays Will Derringer, a former action movie star who has become the President of the United States. He and the British Prime Minister, Sam Clarke (Elba), have a public rivalry but are forced to go on the run together after a conspiracy leaves them stranded and hunted. They must rely on each other and a brilliant MI6 agent (Chopra Jonas) to survive and unravel a plot that threatens the entire world. The movie blends high-octane action with the comedic chemistry between the two leads. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

Dwayne Johnson finally hugs Jelly Roll years after his music helped him through 'hard' time
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has thanked Jelly Roll for helping him through a "very hard" time. The WWE legend turned Hollywood megastar has shared a video of the moment he finally met and hugged the Only hitmaker, whose song "moved" him around 2017 when he was "struggling" with his mental health. Alongside a video of the pair hugging and saying they loved each other, The Rock wrote: "A brotherly hug almost 10 years in the making... "Several years ago (roughly 2017) I was going through a very hard thing at the time, I was struggling. "My mental wellness turned into my mental hellness. Many of you know the drill, you put on 'the face,' show up to work, smile and get through it. "Perhaps not the healthiest thing to do, but it's what I was used to doing at the time. "Then a song came on through my headphones one morning on a random shuffle playlist. 'Only' from Jelly Roll. The lyrics rocked me. Hard core." In the emotional song, Jelly - who is also a huge WWE fan - sings: "What if the darkness inside of me has finally taken my soul?/What if the angels in heaven were sent to take me home? "Would they fight through the demons that I have in my life?/Lord, I'm believing eventually see the light." The Fast and Furious actor recalled how he was moved "so much" that he got in touch with the singer at the time, and shared how "this song of yours is helping me through some stuff I'm dealing with". and that he "just called to say thank you". He continued: "Our bond was born." When the pair finally met in person recently, Dwayne gave Jelly a gift which he admitted might seem "insignificant to the world", but would mean a lot to Jelly. He gave the singer an old postcard of the former Alamo Plaza motel in South Nashville, where Jelly is from. Dwayne explained: "When I was 15yrs I was forced (family was evicted) to leave Hawaii and make it to Nashville to live with my dad. "That didn't work out so I wound up living with a stranger in this little spot on Murfreesboro Road that has since been torn down and no longer there. "Downtown Bruno was that stranger's name and to this day, he's one of my best and most special friends. Just like Jelly. A very special friend." In the Instagram video, Jelly admitted that the postcard - which was signed by The Rock - "is real old school Nashville history". Dwayne added in the caption: "Every once in a while we all get sliced up by life, but it's amazing to see what kind of blessings and people that God and the universe will put in our lives to help us heal through our pain."
