• John Cena Reveals How Elias Ended Up Ringside With Big Names For His Final Match
John Cena received a thunderous reaction for his final WWE match, taking his time during an emotional entrance before stepping into the ring against GUNTHER. As he made his way down the ramp, Cena stopped to acknowledge several familiar faces seated at ringside, many of whom played significant roles throughout his legendary career.
A number of WWE Hall of Famers were present, including Trish Stratus, Mark Henry, Rob Van Dam, Booker T, Michelle McCool, and Kurt Angle. Kevin Owens, who worked closely with Cena shortly after joining the WWE main roster, was also in attendance, as was Sami Zayn, the last wrestler to face Cena on SmackDown.
WWE President Nick Khan was spotted ringside as well, along with Eve Torres, who worked extensively with Cena during the early 2010s. WWF veteran Haku was also part of the group.
One name that stood out as unexpected, however, was Elias (currently working in TNA as Elijah).
Speaking on “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” with Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, Cena explained that Elias wasn’t originally meant to be part of the ringside gathering and managed to slip in unnoticed.
Here’s what he said: “Elias snuck in that group.”
Cena and Elias also shared a photo together backstage at Saturday Night’s Main Event. The two have a notable history, having crossed paths at both WrestleMania 34 and WrestleMania 35.
At WrestleMania 34, Cena took out Elias before losing to The Undertaker, while at WrestleMania 35, the 17-time World Champion brought back his Doctor of Thuganomics gimmick to once again beat down Elias.
• Nikki Bella Sparks Dating Rumors With a Star 20 Years Younger
Nikki Bella parted ways with dancer Artem Chigvintsev last year following a highly publicized split that included allegations of domestic violence. Since then, the WWE Hall of Famer has largely kept her personal life private, with fans often speculating about whether she has begun dating again.
Recently, the 42-year-old’s name has resurfaced in online discussion after a trip to Philadelphia that drew attention from fans. Bella, who has long been open about her support for the Philadelphia Eagles, attended last weekend’s Eagles vs. Las Vegas Raiders game alongside Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
Following the trip, Bella shared an Instagram reel highlighting moments from the day. One clip showed her smiling in front of the locker of Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean, a 22-year-old standout defensive back and reigning Super Bowl champion.
The reel also included a photo of Bella and DeJean posing together. Bella captioned the post with a message expressing appreciation for the people in her life, referencing both new friendships and long-standing connections.
Bella and DeJean also follow each other on social media and have exchanged likes and comments in recent weeks. While DeJean did not comment on the video itself, he left a heart and eagle emoji under a post where Bella called herself a legend. The former Divas Champion liked that comment.
The two have not publicly commented on the rumors yet.
