• Controversial Wrestler Told Shane McMahon To Go F Himself At Hulk Hogan’s Funeral
During an interview on TMZ Inside The Ring podcast, former WWE star Matt Riddle talked about attending Hulk Hogan’s funeral. While he didn’t meet Vince McMahon and Triple H, he ran into Shane McMahon. Here’s what the former United States Champion said:
“Vince stayed off to the side. I felt like it’d be really unprofessional to go out of my way to do that. If we naturally crossed paths, we did. I didn’t get to talk to Paul (Levesque). I did see Shane McMahon and the first thing he said to me, and he said it sarcastically, was, ‘Hey, nice hair.’ I’ll be honest, especially now, I don’t work anywhere, I work for myself.
He said that to me and I told him to go F himself and walked away. To be fair, he was being sarcastic when I told him to go F off. But, you know, in the world of pro wrestling, you never know. He might’ve taken that seriously.”
For those who don’t know, Riddle has red hair now:

• “I Failed” – John Cena On His First Promo After Heel Turn
During a recent appearance at FAN EXPO Chicago, John Cena openly admitted that his first promo after his heel turn on Cody Rhodes was a failure. The shocking heel turn occurred at Elimination Chamber 2025 when Cena betrayed Rhodes to align with The Rock.
A few weeks later, on the March 17 episode of Monday Night RAW, Cena delivered a lengthy promo where he blamed the fans for his new persona. However, the crowd’s response was mixed, with dueling chants that made the segment feel disjointed.
Reflecting on the moment, Cena was candid about the outcome. “I wasn’t upset. No, I failed. Ain’t nothing wrong with that,” he said. “You can learn from failure, right? I went up there and bombed. Sh*t happens.”
He went on to compare the experience to his early struggles with his “Ruthless Aggression” character, which also failed to connect with the audience. Cena framed the setback as another learning experience in his career, noting that he is not the same person he was yesterday and is always evolving.
• Fans Are Flooding Triple H’s IG With Alberto Del Rio Comments (Photo)
There has been a recent surge of social media comments directed at Triple H, with many fans in Mexico calling for the return of Alberto Del Rio to AAA. The comments, frequently seen on Triple H’s official Instagram account, are part of a growing movement by Mexican wrestling fans who are rallying for Del Rio’s comeback.
This groundswell of support follows Del Rio’s recent departure from AAA, a move that coincided with WWE’s acquisition of the promotion. Fans in Mexico City have been particularly vocal, with chants for Del Rio erupting during a promo by Rey Mysterio at TripleMania.
While a return to WWE has not been confirmed and reports suggest that the company’s creative team is not interested in bringing him back, the public demand from fans, especially in the key Mexican market, has become increasingly apparent.
Why AAA Fans Are Booing El Hijo del Vikingo & Want Alberto Del Rio Back
In Mexico, wrestling fans have been booing AAA Mega Champion El Hijo del Vikingo despite his talent, and the reason is tied to Alberto Del Rio.
Del Rio is credited with helping AAA recover from financial and creative struggles. While working as a heel, he won over the crowd with his promos and began to draw significant attention.
However, when WWE got involved with AAA, things changed. WWE hurried the end of Del Rio’s title run and began pushing Vikingo as the new champion. This, along with promoting him as a “Megacampeón” before he had even won the title, led fans to believe that WWE had a vendetta against Del Rio.
This perceived interference and favoritism sparked resentment among fans, which has since been directed at Vikingo.
