Below are some top WWE news stories of the day, involving The Rock and John Cena.
• In the main event of WrestleMania 40 – Night 1, The Rock and Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins.
Rollins believes The Rock will wrestle again. Here’s what the former World Champion said during an appearance on Maggie & Perloff:
“You get in there one time, and you might think you can do a full schedule, but I don’t know if it’s as easy as it looks. You get in there, you do one, and you go, ‘Okay, I can do this.’ He’s smart enough to know his days of doing it full-time have come and gone.
Do I think he’ll get in there and do one more or a couple more? Absolutely. He was in prime condition and ready to go. He was a game opponent. For a guy that hasn’t done it in 10 years, that’s really hard. It is like riding a bike, but it’s not one time. You need to get in there and get your reps in to get your mind where it’s at.
He was an incredible performer that night. He was able to slip back into it. It was an honor for me to be in the ring with him. That’s a guy who is a Hall of Famer and a legend in our business. He’s on the Board of Directors now as well, so he’s continued to help that side of the business.
It was a fun ride getting in there and to be able to stomp the crap out of The Rock.”
The Rock is currently not scheduled to have a match at WrestleMania 41 in April.

• On the Behind The Turnbuckle: The Last Word podcast, former WWE personality Jonathan Coachman talked about the John Cena – Nikki Bella relationship, and revealed that it was Cena who called off the wedding, not Nikki:
“I’ve always said I traveled with Cena for a while, I would say. And I’ve told him this, I was honest, I said, ‘I cannot believe you made her sign a 62-page thing just to live in your house,’ and then he called off the wedding. I mean, there were guys that would cut off their left leg to marry Nikki Bella.”
When the co-host pointed out that Nikki claimed on Total Bellas that she was the one who called off the wedding because Cena didn’t want kids, Coach replied:
“No, no, no, no, no. Total Bellas did tell the story, (but) he called it off. It was never gonna happen. It was never gonna happen.”
John Cena and Nikki Bella famously got engaged in the middle of the ring at WrestleMania 33 in 2017, after they defeated The Miz & Maryse in a mixed tag team match. This was also Cena’s last WrestleMania win to date.
