Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring Roman Reigns and John Cena.
• Roman Reigns Has 3 More Years Left As A Wrestler
During an interview with Vanity Fair, Roman Reigns revealed that his current WWE contract expires after WrestleMania 42 in 2026, and he will wrestle for two more years after that at most.
Here’s what The Tribal Chief said:
“After I finish the contract that I’m in, we probably got another year or two max. Then it’s time to take on a less physical form of entertainment.”
Reigns recently addressed people who call him a part-timer:
“A lot of people call me a part-timer. A lot of people got a lot to say about my schedule. I ain’t no part-timer. I’m a full-time cash cow. Every second that I’m breathing, I’m working. That’s how this whole thing works. Proof of concept. This business lives off me. Don’t ever get it confused.”
The OTC posted the following “My Way” WrestleMania workout video earlier today:

• “John Cena didn’t know about that part” – Triple H On Elimination Chamber 2025 Finish
During an interview with Peter Rosenberg, WWE’s Chief Content Officer Triple H recalled the finish of Elimination Chamber 2025, which featured the shocking heel turn of John Cena.
HHH revealed that only two other people on the executive team knew about Cena’s heel turn:
“We kept that so quiet that on our side, three people on the exec team knew. That’s it. Me and two others. Nobody else knew. Cena knew. Cena didn’t even tell his wife. Cena didn’t even tell his manager. Cody knew, Cody told no one, right? Obviously Rock knew.
Travis sort of knew but he was just f**king going along, just being along for the ride. Doing exactly what they told him to do which is at some point slap Cody and he was slapping him whether Cena wanted it or not, because Cena didn’t know about that part.
When we get to the end of the show, I have to tell everyone as we’re coming in to that last minute of Elimination Chamber, ‘Okay, there’s aftermath on this show. Everybody lay out, I’m directing traffic, I will call all of this. Marty, here’s how all of this is going to go.’
I rattle off all this sh*t to Marty, like shot for shot. It’s fast because we’re getting to the end of this match. Marty is like, ‘Holy sh*t.’ I’m like, ‘I will walk you through it’ because I’m still not saying on headset, and then John is going to turn on Cody. I’m leaving out details.
So when we get there, I’m trying to be a fan and feel it and as it comes in, then technically put it out to the truck of where we need to go and hopefully be just ahead of it to where we can get it down.”
