Rumor Roundup: Two Top NJPW Stars Not Coming To WWE, What WWE Is Offering The Revival, More

3) John Cena’s Future With WWE

According to journalist Tom Colohue, John Cena is not expected to wrestle at Wrestlemania 36. He could still appear at the event but he isn’t expected to wrestle. Here is what Colohue had to say:

We are not expecting to see him at this year’s WrestleMania. He’s currently filming with DC for the new Suicide Squad. He’s not expected to be back. He may make a late appearance but he’s not expected to be wrestling. Much similar to last year, we may see John Cena again, but it’s more likely to be later in the year when he’s finished filming and he believes he is necessary.

Colohue also added the following about Cena’s long-term future with WWE:

There is some discussion as to how much John Cena will be involved in the future. It looks like his full-time schedule is very much done. It looks like his part-time schedule is very much done and he will be approaching closer to a ‘non-contract’ contract where he appears for one-off paydays, one-off big shows.

My Take:

  • I do miss Cena. I would be happy with seeing him a few times a year for some fun matches.

2) “Loser Eats Dog Food” Matches Are Just Being Used For WWE Live Events

We noted recently that WWE has been advertising some “loser eats dog food” matches between Roman Reigns and King Corbin. This had many fans worried that we could be seeing that stipulation used on WWE television.

We have an update for you. This stipulation is only being used at WWE live events and will likely not be coming to TV. Here is a video of Reigns feeding Corbin at a recent live event:

My Take:

  • I am very happy that this is just being used for live events. This isn’t a stipulation that we need on Smackdown. As a matter of fact, I can’t wait for the Reigns and Corbin feud to end. It is time for both guys to move on.
