John Cena gave major endorsement to Logan Paul after his WrestleMania 41 match
During a recent edition of his Impaulsive podcast, Logan Paul revealed his brief interaction with John Cena at WrestleMania 41. Earlier in the day, Cena told Paul that he looked older, since he had turned 30, saying
'You know what John Cena said to me after my match—well, earlier in the day, because I just turned 30? He said, 'You look older.' And I said, 'Wow, you really are a heel.'
Following his match against AJ Styles at the show, Cena walked past Logan Paul and praised him for being a top heel.
And then later in the day, after my match, he was walking by—before he became the GOAT statistically as well as just being the GOAT—he pointed at me and he said, 'Now that's how a bad guy works.' And I was like, 'Damn,'
said Logan Paul.

Logan Paul put up a spectacular performance in his match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 41 Sunday. Following a highly intense showdown, it was the former
WWE
United States Champion who secured the pinfall over Styles to etch a huge win to his resume. As for John Cena, he himself created history on the same night. The Cenation Leader enlisted the help of Travis Scott and questionable tactics to dethrone Cody Rhodes and win his record-setting 17th WWE Championship.
On the other hand, Logan Paul has said on numerous occasions that he would like to step in the ring with John Cena before he retires from the ring. With Cena now the ruthless Undisputed WWE Champion, it will be interesting to see if Paul could get his wish and have a match with Cena before the end of his farewell tour.

CM Punk, Rhea Ripley reveal chaos behind the scenes in Netflix's WWE: Unreal docuseries
What really happens before a WWE superstar steps into the ring? The new Netflix docuseries, WWE: Unreal, pulls back the curtain on the wild world of professional wrestling, featuring never-before-seen moments, creative chaos, and emotional truths from stars like CM Punk and Rhea Ripley. The show will premiere on July 29. Narrated by WWE Chief Content Officer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque, the five-episode series explores the creative pipeline that powers Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown, from WWE headquarters in Connecticut to the global stage. CM Punk, who returned to WWE in 2023 after nearly a decade away, told E Online that the show will reveal how a single idea can snowball into a headline-grabbing story. He told the publication that fans will learn the seed of an idea and the genesis of how it all 'goes from headquarters to on the road'. Rhea Ripley added that fans will witness how storylines take shape in closed-door meetings and how creative direction often shifts mid-show due to injuries, audience reactions, or last-minute changes. 'Things can change on the fly. They happen all the time,' said Ripley. Ripley, who vacated her Women's World Championship in April 2024 due to a shoulder injury, knows firsthand how unpredictable wrestling can be. She said, 'You are always stressed going out there. Things do go wrong.' CM Punk, echoing the sentiment, explained that his preparation routine changes depending on whether he is wrestling. He said that if he is wrestling, he will not deadlift the morning of a match. Despite their larger-than-life personas, even the top stars feel nervous before going live, stated another report in Netflix's . Ripley was quoted saying that it is a normal, human thing. She said she listens to music to channel her fierce alter ego, The Eradicator. 'Also, Triple H might give me a pep talk before I go out, that always helps,' she added. The show also spotlights heartfelt farewells, like John Cena getting ready to retire after over 20 years in WWE. Punk says he partly regrets leaving when he did, but it feels better to be back and work with Cena one last time. Punk, according to Tudum, also talked about a storyline that got canned but still gets him thinking; he was once in the running to play Vince McMahon's son from an affair. Punk says he does not want that to be reality, but he wonders how it would have played out. WWE: Unreal is just one of many sports documentaries on Netflix that give you a look behind the scenes, like Quarterback and Starting 5. Whether you have been watching WWE for years or are just starting out, Unreal is supposed to show you the actual drama behind all the staged craziness. Rhea Ripley is married to fellow WWE superstar Buddy Matthews (formerly Buddy Murphy). CM Punk's '31' tattoo refers to his younger sister's soccer jersey number. Rhea Ripley and Buddy Matthews have been married since June 2024.

DC Studios took over the late Saturday spot in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, where Marvel Studios used to be, bringing the second season of Peacemaker from the Warner Bros. comic book label, which is co-run by James Gunn . There was additional cause for celebration, though. The new season 2 trailer, which featured Christopher Smith (played by John Cena ) discovering a parallel dimension where things are "better". This doesn't just pertain to his costume and wardrobe, but even his love life with Harcourt (played by Jennifer Holland). While Peacemaker goes about living his life in a parallel dimension, Superman's Rick Flag Sr., played by Frank Grillo, is determined to shut down the portal. The clip was shared online with the caption, "Making peace with yourself is harder than it looks." Watch it here: "I really like TV shows where the characters don't just return every season and they're the same exact characters," James Gunn said about Smith from season 2. "I want to see growth. I want to see change and sometimes regression,' he remarked and added, "Peacemaker is a different guy this year. He's dealing with the demons he uncovered from the first season and trying to deal with them, and the world is not accepting him the way he is. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Sucre: Unsold Sofas Prices May Surprise You (Prices May Surprise You) Sofas | Search Ads Search Now Undo They aren't accepting him as a hero.'

At the end of season one, Chris is sitting on his stoop, reflecting on the details of life, beside the ghost of his racist father, Auggie (played by Robert Patrick); it seems that the man will be present in season two like a sour Obi-Wan Kenobi. In the meantime, Chris has managed to keep Goff alive, the butterfly that was in control of Sophie. A house full of costumes and weapons is left behind by Chris' father. The new season, according to the logline, follows vigilante superhero Christopher 'Chris' Smith, as he continues to kick criminals in his misguided quest for peace at all costs while trying to connect his past with his newly discovered sense of purpose. Holland, Freddie Stroma, Steve Agee, new cast members Sol Rodriguez and Tim Meadows, Grillo, and Cena were among the returning members of Season 2 who took the stage today. All eight Peacemaker episodes were written by Gunn, who also directed three of them, including the premiere.
