Roman Reigns is now back in WWE after battling leukemia towards the end of 2018. Reigns scored a win in his first singles match back when he faced Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 35 earlier this month, but WWE may already have big plans for Reigns at WrestleMania next year. On WWE’s official website, a series of “dream matches” have been listed as possible matches for WrestleMania 36 in Tampa, Florida. One of those matches is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson against Roman Reigns. The Rock has not wrestled since he defeated Rowan at WrestleMania 32, but this would certainly be a major box office match for next year’s show, to say the least. For right now though, Reigns is in action every Tuesday night on SmackDown.
WWE Superstar John Cena has made numerous appearances on Ellen DeGeneres’ daytime television show in the past, but on this day, Cena was invited to host the show for the comedian. The 16-time world champion filled in for DeGeneres on her show today and delivered a monologue, arm wrestled a child, interviewed his “Blockers” co-star Leslie Mann, and also spoke with Jenna Dewan about her boyfriend and Becky Lynch recently getting her hooked on pro wrestling. Cena made a surprise appearance at WrestleMania 35 this month, but he is now continuing on with his Hollywood projects. It was reported this week that Cena has entered talks to join James Gunn’s new superhero film, “The Suicide Squad.”
Over the years, @TheEllenShow has given me the wonderful gift of friendship. That and many, many gallons of @TicTac’s … but today, she is giving me her show! That’s right I’m HOSTING today’s episode of Ellen!

If there is one person out there who likely has a ton of stories about his long career in the wrestling business, it’s got to be Kane. Kane has been competing in WWE for decades, and although he was elected Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee last year, he does still make occasional appearances for the company. According to PWInsider, the former world champion is releasing his own autobiography soon. “Mayor Kane: My Life in Wrestling and Liberty” is the name of the new book by Glenn “Kane” Jacobs detailing his career and transition into politics. There is currently no word on a release date for the book, but it should make for an interesting read for fans of wrestling and US politics once it does come out.
