WWE's Triple H responds to angry fans after John Cena's controversial final match
"I will do what I believe is right for this business."
WWE legend John Cena wrestled his final match last night (13th December), but many fans were less than pleased with the result – prompting chief content officer Triple H to explain why it happened. Cena returned to the company where he made his name this year for a retirement tour that saw him turn heel for the first time in his career, win an unprecedented 17th world title, and take on fellow superstars such as Randy Orton, AJ Styles and CM Punk one last time. The Peackemaker star's final opponent was two-time world champion Gunther, who had pledged to make Cena tap out during their showdown at Saturday Night's Main Event this weekend. And to the shock of the 19,000-plus fans at the Capital One Arena in Washington DC... that's exactly what he did, as Cena's glittering career ended with a loss by submission after Gunther locked him in a sleeper hold.

"I'm actually mildly disappointed, I thought it would be so much louder," Triple H joked to a chorus of jeers. He continued: "There are time-honoured traditions in our business and there are ways that you handle your business. John has said the right thing his entire career, that it is about leaving this place better than you found it. "There's no way for people to understand that in the moment. But you do what is right for the business. You do what is right for this industry. John has done that his entire career, and I’m going to do that my entire career. I will do what I believe is right for this business. "It just is what it is. I understand that’s tough for people to understand, but it’s part of what we do. That is the role we have chosen." Triple H concluded: "If you were to say, what will Cena do on his way out – take the emotion out of it and ask people, what will John Cena do? He will put over somebody on the way out. He will leave this better than he found it, he will go into the ring and he will make somebody on his way out. That's what John does." Cena will next be seen on the big screen, with two films currently scheduled to release in 2026 – the long-delayed Looney Tunes live-action and animation hybrid Coyote vs Acme, and the action comedy Matchbox from Extraction director Sam Hargrave. As for WWE, the Road to WrestleMania will soon begin in earnest, with Saturday Night's Main Event returning next month, as well as the 2026 Royal Rumble, which takes place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the first time.

WWE's Nikki Bella teases epic Clash in Paris match with Becky Lynch and original showdown that got pulled
WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella sits down with RadioTimes.com to discuss her upcoming match with Becky Lynch at Clash in Paris, the original plans for her return and why the women’s division is the best it’s ever been.
Despite being a WWE Hall of Famer and the longest-reigning WWE Divas champion of all time, Nikki Bella still has unfinished business and has a lot to prove. The superstar will get this chance to prove herself as she faces off against Becky Lynch for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship at Clash in Paris. The upcoming match against Becky Lynch - which marks Bella’s first 1v1 match at a WWE PLE in over seven years - was announced during this week’s edition of Monday Night Raw in Birmingham, England (25th August) as the two wrestling icons faced off in the ring. “I feel extremely fortunate to be going in against Becky Lynch. She is an incredible champion and one of the greatest superstars of all time. But we have a lot of unfinished business,” said Bella. “What is really fun about this match and exciting about this story is that we have both truly conquered different eras of WWE. Especially with the women, we have so many different iconic eras and so it’s like we are colliding and to do this at Clash in Paris is really exciting.” Nikki Bella made her surprise return to the WWE at the 2025 Royal Rumble and she also featured in an epic Battle Royale at Evolution in July. When Bella returned to the ring, the original plan was to feud with Liv Morgan. However, a spanner was thrown in the works as Morgan suffered a freak shoulder injury and was ruled out for a few months. “[The original plan was to face Liv Morgan] at Evolution and then we talked about what would happen off of that going into Summer Slam, whether that was a Bella Twins reunion, it was all seen on how that story played out,” said Bella. The Hall of Famer remarked that during her original WWE run during the Vince McMahon era, storylines were planned months in advance. However, since her return, things operate much differently under Chief Content Officer Triple H as storylines evolve from crowd reaction and engagements, making them much more flexible as “fans are [more] involved”. Following the uncertainty with Liv Morgan’s injury, Bella told the WWE that “she was willing to prove herself” and “didn’t mind working from the ground up.” This led to an unexpected feud with Irish superstar Becky “The Man” Lynch. “This came about organically with Becky and I. These are some of the best matches where things just start to happen. Because of the different momentum I was having with other women, it came naturally that Becky and I would fight,” said Bella. She added: “What’s fun is that you never know what that story is going to be and how it has panned out has all been so natural. It’s like, ‘We never touched because you were scared of me. Who are you now? You’ve been gone.’ It’s been fun to see how this has evolved because this wasn’t the plan.” One of Nikki Bella’s career highlights came recently as she teamed up with Iyo Sky, Rhea Ripley and Stephanie Vaquer in the Eight-Woman Tag Team Match before SummerSlam 2025, as they faced off against Naomi, Chelsea Green, Alba Fyre and Piper Niven. “That was a dream. All of us had so much fun together. We were all so excited for that and it was cute because we were all like, 'I don’t want this to end. I want to do this every week,'” said Bella. “I am praying that we are seeing the future of our Survivor Series team. I’m not going to be here long and I embrace the moments that I am here and I hope to have that one last Survivor Series team feel.” Bella asserts that the women's division is “the best it has ever, ever been” as wrestlers like Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, Iyo Sky and Stephanie Vaquer have elevated the industry with their incredible talents and big personalities. “These women are so flawless in that ring and make it look so easy. It’s not even just how good they are at their craft; it’s the character that they bring to it. They each have a little bit of their own style,” said Bella. “When I sit there and watch Iyo Sky, I am just in awe. I am like, 'Oh my gosh!' I love seeing what she does. Then I see Rhea Ripley and she does things as smooth as butter. She has this strength, but she’s so feminine, you can’t stop watching her. And then Stephanie has this strength about her, but also a sexiness.” View oEmbed on the source website Bella explained that she was “so grateful” for her recent run in the WWE but “knows her place” within this new generation of superstars. “Maybe 10 years ago, I could have been exactly where they’re at, being amongst girls like that and training with girls like that, but I know my place here and I know what I bring and I bring something different and I can elevate and give equity in different ways,” she said. “But what they’re doing, damn, it’s so much more fun to sit as a fan and watch it.” Following her hugely successful first run in WWE, Bella became a media personality, New York Times bestseller and podcast host, amongst many other things. Despite having all of these other ventures and opportunities outside of the WWE, Bella was adamant that “she had one more go in her” and that as a professional wrestler, “That desire and fire never leaves you.” The 41-year-old remarked that the opportunity to return to the ring came at the perfect moment as she was at a point in her life when she needed to find herself again and regain self-confidence. With that, she hoped that she would also inspire other women that “life isn’t over” in their 40s. “I want to prove that you can be at any age and have a comeback, you do what you love, it’s not over," she added. "Even if you’re amongst these young athletes who are truly kicking so much butt, you can still bring something. It may not be the longest-reigning champion, but you still have something to give. Life isn’t over and your career isn’t done. “It’s important for people to know, especially when you’re in your 40s, where you really hit midlife, that you can still dream, you can still conquer, you can still achieve and it can be whatever you desire. That’s what I’m doing now, I’m living proof that I can still dream, I can still conquer and achieve, life isn’t over. Yes, I’m a mom. Yes, I’m divorced. Yes, I’m these things but I’m still Nikki Bella and I’m still Nikki Bella in this era.” WWE’s first ever Clash in Paris will stream live on Netflix at 7pm BST on Sunday 31st August.

WWE Heavyweight Champion previews history-making SummerSlam
WWE superstar Gunther talks with RadioTimes.com about defending his title against CM Punk at SummerSlam, his hopes for a match with John Cena and why we are living in the “Golden Age of professional wrestling".
The biggest party of the summer has just got even bigger as SummerSlam takes place over two nights with the likes of John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, Randy Orton and Roman Reigns featuring at the historic event in New Jersey. Also wrestling on the stacked card is WWE Heavyweight Champion Gunther, who remarks that the two-night PPV event is a “big milestone” for the industry as it reflects the growing demand for WWE across the globe. “Over the last two or three months, we’ve had so many big events and the demand is there for it, so there’s a natural progression towards [the SummerSlam expansion.] I’m here for more. It feels like a lot has happened, but we’re just getting started.” He added: “When you look at the whole picture, it’s quite impressive right now. This is what everybody has worked so hard for many years. Everybody is here to enjoy it and be part of it and shoot for more. "It’s a golden age of professional wrestling right now and the WWE itself and it’s great to be in the middle of that.” Having joined WWE NXT in 2019, the Austrian commented that the future of WWE didn’t “look too promising,” and it's been a long journey to get the industry back into mainstream popularity. “How I can tell the difference is how the public reacts to us. Just by how many people speak to me when I walk around the street, even last year alone, it has increased so much. It proves that our popularity as a whole has risen in the last year and it doesn’t seem to be stopping,” said Gunther. The Ring General will defend his WWE Heavyweight Championship against CM Punk at SummerSlam. The Chicago icon beat Bron Breakker on Monday Night Raw to earn the title shot and Gunther is relishing the upcoming match. “I’m looking forward to getting in the ring with [Punk] on a big stage like SummerSlam in a prominent spot like that,” said Gunther. “That’s why I joined the company, I wanted to be in the ring with the top, top guys and him coming back was a big deal, he’s one of the most unique performers that the business has ever had. That’s what I’m here for. I’m all ready for it and I’m prepared and I’m excited.” If Gunther successfully defends his championship against CM Punk at SummerSlam, he will become the longest-reigning holder of the new World Heavyweight Championship (assuming Seth Rollins doesn’t pull off a miraculous recovery from his knee injury to cash in his Money in the Bank contract). It’s a prestigious title and holds a lot of responsibility, but Gunther feels comfortable in his position as champion. “I’ve always operated better when I’ve had responsibility [placed] on me and that’s the case here. I embrace it and I enjoy it, and SummerSlam is the next big one. I did ‘Mania with Jey [Uso] but I feel like SummerSlam with Punk from an overall perspective is the one that I’m most excited for so far,” said Gunther. The Austrian wrestler made headlines recently as he beat WWE icon Goldberg in his retirement match at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Atlanta. “I was very happy with how everything went [against Goldberg] and I feel like we exceeded expectations for the match. For me, it was important to not go out there and have the typical three or four minutes of action and that’s it,” said Gunther. “I wanted time to tell a story and take the audience on a ride and make them feel bad for him a little bit before it all ends. I think we succeeded with that. He can be very happy with the match and the connection that he had with the audience because that felt very special.” One of the biggest stories in wrestling in 2025 is undoubtedly John Cena’s shocking heel turn at Elimination Chamber when he viciously assaulted Cody Rhodes, whom he will face in a street fight at SummerSlam. The storyline captured mainstream attention and has been followed closely by millions across the globe and brought a whole new audience to the WWE. The WWE legend and Hollywood actor is in the midst of his retirement tour as he will make his final appearance as an in-ring performer in December 2025. The excitement and hysteria around John Cena’s retirement have helped elevate the industry and seen the demand for events like SummerSlam at an all-time high. “It’s great for him that he’s able to do that and say, 'This is the way I want to finish it and the way I want to go out.' It’s a great way to do it. If somebody deserves it, then it’s him. It’s good to have him back around. Obviously, I have not interacted with him or seen him much because he’s on SmackDown mostly, but who knows, there’s still a long time left, so maybe there’s a chance to get in there with him before he hangs it up.” The Ring General added: “He’s a guy that everyone knows, it’s like what Hogan was in the '90s. If you know wrestling, you know John Cena. It also shows the love and passion that he has for the business. "He doesn’t need to do it, he’s financially got bigger fish to fry with his movies and he’s a made man already, so there’s no pressure for him to do all of that, but he decided to invest a whole year into this. It’s a very classy way for someone like him to go out and have this one year of giving back and do it one more time." SummerSlam will stream live for the first time ever over two nights on Netflix at 11pm BST on Saturday 2nd August and Sunday 3rd August. WWE is available to watch on Netflix in the UK and Ireland, including RAW, SmackDown, NXT, all Premium Live Events and the WWE archive. Sign up for Netflix from £5.99 a month.

WWE superstar has a very good reason she doesn’t want Evolution every year
RadioTimes.com caught up with Chelsea Green, fresh after her starring role in Evolution 2.
WWE Evolution 2 aired on Netflix on Sunday 13th July 2025 and it's safe to say the all-women affair was a show-stopper. The hours-long live event saw female wrestling superstars from the entire WWE roster and some from TNA, too, battle it out in different matches. From a fatal four-way tag team starring The Judgement Day among others, to a 20-woman Battle Royal, and an unforgettable showdown between Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky (which resulted in Naomi cashing in her Money in the Bank contract), Evolution 2 delivered an unforgettable event for wrestling fans across the globe. The first Evolution aired seven years prior, in 2018, and it was high time for WWE to do another one; following the success of Evolution 2, fans are wondering whether it will now become a staple of the wrestling calendar, among big-hitters like SummerSlam and Backlash. RadioTimes.com caught up with Chelsea Green, who had a starring role in the 20-woman Battle Royal, to get her thoughts on Evolution 2 and whether she wants to see it return. "I would love that – and hopefully it won't take seven years to get another Evolution," Green explained when asked if she would like to see a third event. "However, I do think there's something to be said about keeping it special, keeping it rare, and not having it every year. Maybe every couple of years where the talent can evolve and come up with a new group of women on Evolution." Green praised the event, saying: "Either way, it was such a special moment. Every single match was a showstopper; there isn't one match I would've got up to go to the bathroom during!" View oEmbed on the source website The superstar, who rejoined WWE in 2023, admitted that before Evolution, there was some "negative speculation" around whether the event would be a success - after all, it was taking place in Atlanta during the same time Beyoncé was touring her award-winning Cowboy Carter album. "It was hard as women wrestling because we knew that our audience was going to be split between what they were going to. But they weren't split. They showed up for us. That arena was full – it was amazing." Green can be seen in WWE: Unreal, a unique Netflix documentary which lifts the curtain on the making of the biggest wrestling company in the world for the first time. She can also be seen on Smackdown, which airs on Fridays. Check out more of our Sport coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

WWE's Chelsea Green reveals why behind-the-scenes Unreal documentary is so important: 'This is a brutal honesty era'
WWE is showing how its outstanding events are made for the first time.
The world of wrestling has always had an air of mystery around it, with kayfabe (the art of portraying staged wrestling performances as genuine) being crucial to the success of the WWE and beyond. But 2025 marks a brand new era, as Triple H has welcomed cameras behind the scenes for an unfiltered look at how the epic shows are brought to life in a new Netflix documentary, WWE: Unreal. Fans will be welcomed into the writer's room as Triple H (Paul Levesque) discusses developments that need to happen on Raw, Smackdown and PLEs to ensure the stories he wants to tell are told. Viewers also see decisions made to propel certain wrestlers to new heights and the incredible secrecy around John Cena's infamous heel turn. Chelsea Green, a superstar who appears in the documentary, has praised the move to be more transparent, claiming it's important in 2025 to lift the veil in a time of AI, deep fakes and beyond. "We've got the Attitude Era, we've got the Netflix Era – I think this is the Reality Era because on top of us pulling back the curtain and you getting a better look at how we create these storylines, we've been adding a lot more content, like LFG (Legends & Future Greats) and Cody's [Rhodes] podcast, so you're seeing the real us in a lot of different ways. "I think this is an era of just brutal honesty. It's really important to show we're all humans!" Green found the process natural, as she's been showcasing her life and times to her fans via her social media channels for years. "WWE asked me right before the new year [to be a part of Unreal], and I didn't know what to expect, but one thing I did know is I already show you guys my whole life. You know my relationship with my husband, you know I'm building a new house... so to me, it wasn't that scary. "I do think it's interesting that you're now going to see me at work because that's something I have had to keep private. The WWE universe is going to love it!" WWE: Unreal is streaming now on Netflix. Sign up for Netflix from £5.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.

Hogan is credited with ushering in a boom in the sport in the 1980s.
Terry Bollea, the wrestler better known as Hulk Hogan, has died at the age of 71. The news of Hogan's death was first reported by TMZ, with the outlet saying that he suffered a "cardiac arrest" while at his home in Florida. It was later confirmed by World Wrestling Entertainment, which said in a statement: "WWE is saddened to learn WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has passed away. "One of pop culture’s most recognisable figures, Hogan helped WWE achieve global recognition in the 1980s. WWE extends its condolences to Hogan’s family, friends and fans." Hogan was born in Georgia in 1953, and became an avid fan of wrestling in his youth. His first professional match came in 1977, when he was using the persona The Super Destroyer, with the Championship Wrestling from Florida (CWF). He went on to join the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), which would later become the WWE, in 1979. He is credited with having helped to usher in a boom in the sport in the 1980s, and headlined eight of the first nine editions of WrestleMania. His famous match against André the Giant in 1988 was watched by 33 million TV viewers. Throughout his career, he also made acting appearances, in films such as Rocky III, Mr Nanny and Gnomeo & Juliet, as well as appearing as himself in numerous titles, both on the big screen and on TV. He left and rejoined the WWE multiple times, and made his last appearance for the organisation just earlier this year, appearing live during the debut of Raw on Netflix. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005. Hogan was also a controversial figure. In 2015, the WWE terminated his contract after a tape emerged of him using a racist slur. He was reinstated into the Hall of Fame in 2018, with the company saying he had made "numerous apologies" and was "working with young people, where he is helping them learn from his mistake". He was known for stretching the truth about his life too - for instance, he claimed that Elvis Presley was a huge fan of his, despite him having passed away in 1977. In his latter years, Hogan became more openly political, appearing at the Republican National Convention in 2024 to endorse Donald Trump for president. Hogan is survived by his children Brooke Hogan and Nick Hogan.
WWE icon John Cena addresses 'face turn' rumours ahead of exit later this year
WWE fans were completely stunned back in March this year at Elimination Chamber when John Cena turned heel after decades of being one of wrestling's most famous 'faces'. Since then, he's reclaimed the Undisputed WWE Championship belt and faced countless opponents trying to take it off him, with the most recent being CM Punk. However, there have been small glimpses during his recent fights suggesting he could be about to turn again, this time returning to the good guy he's played for years. RadioTimes.com exclusively caught up with the man himself at the premiere for Heads of State and we couldn't resist asking him to address the rumours about him becoming a face again. "I'll bring you up to speed, that's a great question. We're in the middle of my last year performing. I'm going to stop performing in December and the answer to that question will hopefully rely on the 15 dates between now and then," Cena cryptically teased. Cena will be leaving in December 2025, and there's sure to be more epic matches before he departs for good, with more twists and turns along the way. The 48-year-old will defend his title again next month at Summerslam against the man he defeated to claim the belt – Cody Rhodes. Elsewhere, Cena also spoke widely about the impact his long career in WWE has had on his life, saying: “There is not a day that goes by that my experience as a live sports entertainer for WWE has not shaped me as a man. "I have lessons that I bring from WWE life every single day as a human being from the second I wake up to the second I go to sleep.” New action-comedy Heads of State sees Cena play the US president alongside Idris Elba's UK prime minister, who are forced to put their public rivalry aside and work together when they become targets in a global conspiracy.

But Punk is also ready to roll, keen to expand on his enormous popularity by taking the title out of Cena's grasp.

Although we've not seen too many bona fide A-listers in the crowd so far, there have nevertheless been a fair few well-known people spotted enjoying the action – and that list only seems likely to grow on the second night, which will see WWE legend John Cena make his final appearance on the greatest stage of all.

George Kittle One who probably won't be too familiar to UK fans (unless you follow American football), George Kittle plays for the NFL side San Francisco 49ers as a tight-end. He was clearly greatly enjoying his time off – seen downing an entire glass of beer! Michael Che Another star who's better known across the pond than he is on these shores, Michael Che has been a key cast member on Saturday Night Live for over a decade, and previously appeared as a special guest at WrestleMania 35 in 2019.

Will The Rock be at WrestleMania 2025? Latest updates
Will we smell what The Rock... is... cooking?
The WWE's flagship event is here. WrestleMania 41 takes place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas this weekend. There is no shortage of star power across the two-day show – with John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Rey Mysterio, Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Seth Rollins and Logan Paul among those confirmed to be competing. Both Saturday and Sunday will no doubt be littered with surprises and special guests as WWE attempt to outdo the explosive events of last year, but as always, fans have been left guessing as to exactly who is going to show up. The Rock never fails to excite audiences, and after the wrestling legend made his presence felt at WrestleMania 40, competing on Night 1 and then appearing again the following evening to wreak havoc, questions are being asked about whether he will be back this year. RadioTimes.com brings you the latest on whether The Rock will make an appearance at WrestleMania 2025 live on TV and online. Will The Rock appear at WWE WrestleMania 2025? The Rock is not scheduled to compete on either Night 1 or Night 2 of WrestleMania 41, but he is expected to appear at some point across the two days. The 52-year-old's match at last year's event was his first after an eight-year break, partnering Roman Reigns to beat Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes in a tag team match. The People's Champion has appeared sporadically at WWE shows since, and while there has been no official confirmation that he will be at WrestleMania this year, it would be something of a shock if he doesn't show his face. He has been involved in the storyline ahead of the world title fight between Rhodes and John Cena on Sunday night, so it would be no surprise to see him show up while the two are in the ring. Whether or not he will wrestle remains to be seen, but there is a feeling he has a part to play in proceedings.
