• Roxanne Perez Reveals What John Cena Said To Judgment Day After Survivor Series 2025
At WWE Survivor Series 2025, Dominik Mysterio defeated John Cena to win back the Intercontinental Championship. All members of The Judgment Day interfered in the match, including the returning Liv Morgan.
In the aftermath of Survivor Series, a quiet backstage moment ended up leaving a lasting impact on Roxanne Perez and it had nothing to do with the chaos inside the ring. Instead, it came from an unexpected conversation led by Cena once the cameras were off.
During an interview with Going Ringside, Perez recounted how Cena gathered everyone involved in the match together after it ended. Despite being visibly worn down and exhausted, Cena wasn’t focused on praise or celebration. Instead, he turned the attention inward, asking each person in the room for honest feedback on what could have been done better.
Perez described the moment as surreal. Here was one of the most accomplished performers in wrestling history – drenched in sweat and clearly drained – openly inviting critique from his peers. The question wasn’t framed around what others needed to improve, but what he could have done differently.
Admitting that the situation initially caught her off guard, Perez said the feeling quickly shifted from awkwardness to motivation. Rather than seeing it as uncomfortable, she came away viewing it as a powerful example of humility and self-awareness at the highest level of the business.
For Perez, the exchange reinforced a lesson she plans to carry throughout her career: growth doesn’t have a finish line. She emphasized that if someone with Cena’s resume is still actively seeking ways to improve, then no one else has an excuse to stop learning.
In her eyes, that mindset is what separates legends from everyone else – and it’s something she believes Cena applies even in his most defining moments.
• The Rock’s Massive Earnings From WWE Since 2024 Return Revealed
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is seeing massive financial success from his executive role with WWE’s parent company, TKO Group Holdings.
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, The Rock has likely earned over $80 million since joining the TKO board in early 2024. This huge sum mostly comes from his stock and equity deal, showing just how valuable his partnership with the company has become.
What is even more impressive is that this $80 million figure does not cover everything. The total does not include the money he makes from merchandise sales or the large bonuses he receives for appearing at live events and his WrestleMania 40 match. When those extra millions are added in, his actual earnings are significantly higher.
Meltzer credited WWE President Nick Khan for helping put together this historic deal. The two have worked closely to increase both their financial success and their status in the business world. This partnership has turned The Rock’s return to the wrestling world into one of the most profitable crossover deals ever seen in the industry.
The Rock’s financial position is stronger than ever. Even without wrestling a full-time schedule, his impact on the company’s business side is making him one of the highest-paid figures in sports entertainment history.

On January 4, 2026, at the Tokyo Dome, Andrade will team up with his new stablemates in a 10-man tag team match. The United Empire, represented by Callum Newman, Great-O-Khan, Henare, and Andrade, will face off against the Bullet Club War Dogs (led by David Finlay) and their temporary allies, Shingo Takagi and Hiromu Takahashi.
This return marks a full-circle moment for Andrade, who competed in NJPW as La Sombra during the early 2010s. By joining United Empire as their “Bankroller,” Andrade is positioning himself as a major power player in the faction’s war against David Finlay’s “Savage King” era of the Bullet Club.
With the return of Henare also confirmed for this match, The United Empire enters the Tokyo Dome with a revitalized lineup, looking to settle their violent feud with the War Dogs once and for all.
