The wrestling world has reacted to John Cena’s announcement that his final match will come at WWE WrestleMania 41 in April of next year.

At WWE Money in the Bank 2024, Cena surprised the fans in Toronto with an unannounced appearance at the event. The 16-time WWE World Champion spoke openly about his career before sharing the news that he plans to retire from in-ring competition next year. The topic of Cena’s retirement has been broached several times in recent years, as John has been well aware that his days in the ring have been numbered for some time.

Reaction To John Cena’s Announcement

Cena’s announcement understandably had the wrestling world abuzz with many taking to social media to share their reactions. On Twitter, Baron Corbin made his claim to face Cena in what will be John’s final match.

Corbin isn’t the only Superstar with their eyes on John Cena. Former Raw Tag Team Champion Omos also wants a piece of Big Match John.

‘Filthy’ Tom Lawlor reacted to Cena’s retirement by using the same verbiage that John used to announce the death of Osama Bin Laden after WWE Extreme Rules 2011.

WWE CCO Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque, who spoke highly of John after Money in the Bank, shared a video of the pair backstage following Cena’s announcement.

Cena’s announcement has surpassed the realm of professional wrestling. On Twitter, the Orlando Magic wished John a happy retirement.

The MLB also praised Cena and thanked John alongside an image of the 16-time World Champion throwing a pitch.

Tiffany Stratton is ready to get in the ring with the GOAT Trish Stratus.

The Money In The Bank 2024 came live from the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada. Hometown star Trish Stratus was announced to host the show. She made multiple appearances during the event. This included one where she introduced John Cena before he made a big career announcement.

A more exciting appearance for the fans of the wrestling legend came later in the show. Stratus was being interviewed backstage but was interrupted by Tiffany Stratton.

The young star asked ‘Trishy’ why she wasn’t talking about her and Trish Stratus in turn told the 2024 Women’s Money In The Bank winner to not get ahead of herself.

Tiffany Stratton Is Ready For The GOAT

In the post-show press conference, Tiffany Stratton was asked about potentially facing Stratus in a match. The 25-year-old claimed that she is ready to get in the ring with her idol:

“Listen, those are two different generations. Trish, Trishy, Trishy Time, she is one of my idols in professional wrestling, and I am ready to get in the ring with the GOAT,”

These developments suggest that WWE is at least planning a future confrontation between the two female stars. It won’t be a surprise if they end up sharing the ring at the upcoming SummerSlam PPV from Cleveland, Ohio on August 4.

Marko Stunt Answers Jack Perry’s Open Challenge on AEW Collision

Marko Stunt made a surprise return to All Elite Wrestling this week as the unlikely challenger to AEW TNT Champion Jack Perry.

On the July 6, edition of AEW Collision, Perry put his title on the line in an open challenge. The Elite member certainly didn’t expect his challenge to be answered by Stunt, who previously teamed with Perry (who competed as Jungle Boy) and Killswitch (then known as Luchasaurus) in Jurassic Express.

Despite the loud reaction, Stunt was unable to dethrone Perry, who captured the TNT Championship at the recent AEWxNJPW: Forbidden Door event. In a backstage interview later in the show, Stunt’s segment was interrupted by former ally Killswitch.

This match was Stunt’s first bout for AEW since September 2021. He would later be released from the company in June 2022. It remains to be seen if he’ll appear again in AEW but the interactions between himself, Perry, and Killswitch make clear that the past has not been forgotten.

Marko Stunt in All Elite Wrestling

Stunt made his AEW debut as part of a battle royal during the promotion’s inaugural pay-per-view, AEW Double or Nothing, back in May 2019. It wouldn’t be until December of that year that Stunt first tasted victory in an AEW ring when he and Luchasaurus defeated The Dark Order (Alex Reynolds and John Silver) on AEW Dark. Throughout his AEW run, Stunt competed in 49 matches and boasts a somewhat unfortunate 17-32 win/loss record

WWE CCO Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque has lavished praise on John Cena as the WWE Icon-turned-Hollywood A-Lister prepares for his life after the ring.

The 16-time WWE World Champion made a surprise appearance at Money In The Bank 2024 with some sobering news. In front of the rabid Toronto crowd, John confirmed that he will retire from competition in 2025 and his final match will take place at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Triple H On John Cena

At the WWE Money in the Bank post-show, Levesque was asked for his thoughts on Cena’s impending retirement from the ring. Levesque, who retired due to health issues in 2022, had nothing but good words for his friend and former rival.

“A lot of people talk about legends and icons and [there’s] so much speculation about who would be on wrestling’s Mt. Rushmore. I don’t care what metric you use, John is on the top of all of them. He’s had an unbelievable career.”

After speaking about Cena being able to call his ‘shot’ given his immense success, Levesque concluded with his personal views on the 16-time WWE World Champion.

“For me personally, I want to say thank you to John for everything he’s done. Everything he’s done for WWE, for all of the Superstars here, and for what he’s done just for sports entertainment and pro wrestling, for all of it in general. Against his will, a while ago he was being called the greatest of all time. But he truly is, I believe that. So thank you to John.”

Little is currently known about John Cena’s final match, though it obviously won’t be in London, England as he previously suggested. Nevertheless, fans can expect a fitting send-off by WWE to a talent whose name is etched in history as one of the all-time greats.

CM Punk Says He Doesn’t Want To Give False Hope of AJ Lee’s Return

CM Punk says he would love to see AJ Lee return to WWE but it’s a decision she is going to have to make for herself.

The Straight Edge star took part in the post Money In The Bank 2024 media scrum after costing Drew McIntyre yet another opportunity at becoming a world champion earlier in the night.

During the talk, Punk was asked about the chatter of his wife potentially making a comeback to WWE and if we can hope to see the two of them sharing the ring again. The former world champion claimed that he doesn’t want to give false hope to people:

“I appreciate the question. You would have to ask my wife but she’s not here. She’s taking care of Larry. I don’t want to fall in the trap of saying never say never.

I don’t want to give people false hope. I also will not put words in her mouth and say ‘I think this could happen’ I think this is a brave new world. I don’t think a lot of people thought I was going to show up. It’s really all on her.”

She’s Doing Her Own Thing: CM Punk

CM Punk noted how as a fan of AJ Lee, he would love to see the former Divas Champion back in the ring. Though he also mentioned all the projects she is currently involved in, which makes it hard for the female star to make a comeback:

“She’s busy. I’m super proud of her. She’s doing her own thing. She’s got, I don’t even know if I’m allowed to talk about this stuff. She’s got a production company started up, she’s writing TV, movies, all kinds of stuff.

I laughably, I always say I’m a bad husband because I never know what project she’s talking about. ‘Oh, I have a meeting’ and I’m like, ‘With who? Is it Netflix? Is it Hulu? Is it CBS?’ I don’t know. She’s got so many irons in so many different fires. I will say as a fan of hers, would love to see it.”

Bad Blood is back. WWE Bad Blood 2024 will take place from Atlanta, GA at the StateFarm Arena on Saturday, October 5. This date marks the 27-year anniversary of the inaugural WWE In Your House: Bad Blood PPV (October 1997) and the very first Hell in a Cell match.

WWE Bad Blood 2024 tickets go on sale next Friday, July 19 at Ticketmaster. Presale for Bad Blood tickets will begin Tuesday, July 16. Fans can register now to receive an exclusive presale offer by visiting WWE.com/badblood-2024-presale.

WWE Bad Blood 2024

WWE Bad Blood

From 1997 to 2004, WWE hosted three Bad Blood events and each one was headlined by a Hell in a Cell match. The inaugural event also saw the inaugural Hell in Cell match as Shawn Michaels defeated The Undertaker (albeit thanks to the interference of the debuting Kane.) Triple H would best Kevin Nash to retain the World Heavyweight Championship in 2003 and the Game would defeat Michaels in Hell in a Cell one year later.

With Triple H’s close association with Bad Blood, it will be interesting to see how he books the show now that he is in charge of WWE’s creative prospects. Time will tell whether the show sees a Hell in a Cell match, which is also close to the Game’s career. One of Triple H’s first acts as Head of Creative was to scrap the Hell in a Cell PLE, believing that the show had lessened the importance of the stipulation. Currently, no matches have been announced for WWE Bad Blood but fans are excited to see what’s to come.

Drew McIntyre Warns CM Punk, Hits Adam Pearce On MITB Post-Show

The frustrations of Drew McIntyre boiled to the surface after WWE Money in the Bank 2024, with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce paying the price.

During the show, McIntyre won the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder match, and true to his word, decided to cash in on the very same night. McIntyre inserted himself in the World Heavyweight Championship match between Damian Priest and Seth Rollins. Unfortunately for the Scottish Warrior, CM Punk was around to ruin his cash in and Priest retained the World Heavyweight Championship.

Drew McIntyre Loses It

This is the third PLE that has seen Punk cost McIntyre the title, following on from WrestleMania 40 in April and last month’s Clash At The Castle: Scotland show in Glasgow. At the WWE Money in the Bank post-show, McIntyre was understandably frustrated by this latest setback. In a fiery outburst, McIntyre could be heard yelling “I know where your family lives” as referees tried to stop him from going further.

When Raw GM Adam Pearce tried to get involved, he earned an elbow from the Scottish Warrior. Wade Barrett tried to be the voice of reason as he understood that McIntyre is “pissed” but said hitting Pearce again would ensure McIntyre’s career would be over and he would never get a shot at CM Punk.

What’s Next?

All signs are pointing to a match between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre which many have predicted will take place at SummerSlam 2024. If so, it’ll be Punk’s first match since the 2024 Royal Rumble where he suffered a triceps injury Drew has taken credit for. WWE SummerSlam will take place on August 3, from Cleveland, Ohio.

Kevin Owens cut a short but heartfelt promo after WWE Money In The Bank 2024 from the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada went off air.

KO had revealed during last night’s episode of SmackDown that his mother had been rushed to the hospital earlier this week and she was currently battling serious health issues. He mentioned how his mother would want him to ‘fight like hell’ and that’s what he was going to do at the PPV.

While the team of Owens, Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton didn’t manage to win their match against The Bloodline at the event, Kevin fulfilled his promise and delivered some serious beatdown on his opponents.

After Money In The Bank went off air, Owens acknowledged the ‘Mama Owens’ chants and said that the fans have helped him get through the hardest week of his life:

Apart from this, the show featured the Money In The Bank matches which were won by Drew McIntyre and Tiffany Stratton respectively.

Though for Drew, the celebration of the win didn’t last long as he tried to cash in the contract the same night but CM Punk once again cost him the bout.

The biggest surprise of the night was an appearance from John Cena who made a huge career announcement on the show. You can check out more about it here.

Wrestling Community Raises Over $20K For Kevin Sullivan GoFundMe

The wrestling community is often unfairly burdened with having a “bad” reputation, especially when it comes to online discourse over recent years. However, there are plenty of examples of the community rising to the occasion in times of need. The most recent example of the community’s tendency to step up for social good is wrestling legend Kevin Sullivan’s recent GoFundMe campaign.

Kevin Sullivan has been a prominent figure in the professional wrestling industry for many decades, making a notable impact as a wrestler, manager, and backstage producer in nearly every promotion he’s participated in. Unfortunately, the former WCW Tag Team Champion has recently experienced significant health issues. On July 5th, The 74-year-old’s family created a GoFundMe to assist with medical expenses.

“On May 12th, 2024, while in Florida for autograph signings, Kevin suffered a devastating accident. He underwent emergency surgery that saved his leg and life but faced severe complications, including sepsis and encephalitis. This unforeseen catastrophe has placed an immense financial burden on his family, as Kevin has been in and out of consciousness in the ICU, far from home.”

Kevin Sullivan GoFundMe Page

Nicole Sullivan set up the GoFundMe, which states that the funds raised would help cover medical expenses, transportation costs, occupational and physical therapy, and much-needed at-home nursing care.

Once the news of Sullivan’s situation reached the public, fans and those within the professional wrestling industry rushed to support The Taskmaster. At approximately 5 p.m. EST on July 5th, the campaign had only accumulated about $3,000. However, as of this writing, we’re proud to report that the campaign has well exceeded it’s goal, with over 220 supporters raising nearly $25,000 for the ring veteran.

Some of the biggest contributors to Kevin Sullivan’s GoFundMe came from top names in the wrestling industry. These included Jim Cornette, WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes, AEW’s FTW Champion Chris Jericho, former TNA Executive Scott D’Amore, and WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page.

We at SEScoops encourage all who can to donate to Kevin Sullivan’s GoFundMe campaign, which can be found here:

“TIFFY In The Bank!” – WWE Fans React to Tiffany Stratton Winning Money in the Bank

In one of the most chaotic Women’s Money in the Bank matches in WWE history, rookie Tiffany Stratton emerged victorious and became the 2024 Mrs. Money in the Bank.

Vegas and the WWE Universe strongly favored Stratton in the weeks before the July 6th PLE. The statistics continue to favor Stratton, as the Women’s MITB holders have maintained a 100% success rate in title cash-ins. Will Tiffy Time ultimately equal a world championship? That remains to be seen.

Following her win, WWE COO Triple H congratulated Stratton backstage with this patented “Finger Point Photo.”

As one may expect, the WWE Universe flooded social media to congratulate Tiffany Straton on her big win and to applaud the five other women for their phenomenal effort in the highly competitive about.

Reactions to Tiffany Stratton Winning Money in the Bank

It remains to be seen which women’s champion Tiffany Stratton ultimately goes after or when she might do so. Both WWE Women’s Champion Bayley and WWE World Women’s Champion Liv Morgan will now need to constantly look over their shoulder, as the young and hungry Tiffany Stratton could strike at any moment.

However, this author speculates that Stratton may look to emulate the first women’s Money In The Bank winner, Carmella, and hold onto her (hopefully Pink) briefcase for a while!

John Cena Unveils Details of His 2025 WWE Retirement Tour

John Cena wants to take fans on a ride they won’t forget next year. In a revealing press conference following Saturday’s WWE’s Money in the Bank show from Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena, the wrestling icon shared a lot of details about his upcoming retirement tour, marking the end of his illustrious in-ring career.

Cena announced that his final run will span the entire year. “If everything goes to plan, I’ll be wrestling from January to December,” Cena stated.

He also confirmed that this retirement is definitive. “A lot of sports entertainment retirements are dishonest. I’m done. This is it,” Cena asserted, adding, “If you ever wanted to be part of this, now is the time to get on board.”

Remaining Part of the WWE Family

Cena joked that his iconic ring attire – the jorts and colorful t-shirts that have become synonymous with his character – will be retiring alongside him. He also made it clear that post-retirement, he won’t be involved in physical aspects of the shows, ruling out appearances as a guest referee.

However, fans can take solace in knowing that Cena’s association with WWE isn’t ending completely. He expressed his desire to remain part of the WWE family for years to come, albeit in a different capacity. “I’m passionate about wrestling and still yell at the screen while watching. I have wisdom I want to pass along,” he explained.

Ending on a Historic Note

Cena’s retirement tour isn’t born out of necessity due to injury, as is often the case in professional wrestling. Instead, it’s a conscious decision driven by gratitude. “This is not a bad thing. This is a great thing,” Cena emphasized, highlighting his appreciation for the opportunity to bid farewell on his own terms.

As Cena’s legendary career draws to a close, he’s not content to simply ride off into the sunset. Cena expressed interest in pursing a 17th world championship, indicating his final year will be anything but predictable.

As of writing, we do not know who Cena will be facing during his final few months with the company, but it will certainly be pushed heavily as WWE heads to Netflix in early 2025.

WWE kicked off its Money In The Bank PLE with a bang, having The Scottish Warrior, Drew McIntyre, earn his first Money In The Bank briefcase of his 17-year career. McIntyre’s last interaction with MITB was not a positive one, as he found himself cashed in on at WrestleMania 40 by current World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest.

The WWE Universe has been buzzing since the exceptional Men’s Money In The Bank match, with fans speculating on how long McIntyre will hold onto his briefcase, and if a certain Chicago native will play spoiler for him once again.

Most fans are thrilled to see Drew McIntyre finally achieve success after a long time and are excited to see what the future holds for the 2024 Mr. Money In The Bank. However, some believe it’s too predictable that he will cash in the MITB tonight and lose.

Backstage after his win, McIntyre got the ceremonial photo with Triple H to make it official.

Here is what some members of the wrestling community have to say:

Regardless of what Drew McIntyre ultimately decides to do, winning at MITB would be a great addition to his already impressive resume. Some argue that it would be better for him to wait, but this author is not confident that their advice will be well received by McIntyre. The Scottish Warrior is determined to regain the title he won just months ago, regardless of CM Punk’s presence.

John Cena Announces 2025 Retirement At WWE Money in the Bank

WWE legend John Cena has confirmed that he will be retiring in 2025.

The 16-time World champion made a surprise appearance at Saturday’s Money in the Bank premium live event from Toronto to announce his retirement tour.

While he did not specify when his final match will take place, he confirmed that next year will be his last time competing at the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania. He also said he’ll be there when WWE Raw officially moves to Netflix in January 2025, so we can expect Cena to be quite active during the final run of his career.

Who could John Cena face in his final match?

Randy Orton, for example, would be the perfect final opponent for Cena, as both men were the top names of the company back in the mid to late 2000s and had arguably one of the biggest feuds of the “PG” era.

A younger(ish) name like LA Knight would also make sense, as putting over a newer talent on his way out could certainly help someone’s career (although don’t ask Austin Theory if his win over Cena helped his career trajectory…).

Cena also confirmed during his promo segment at MITB that he would be opening the MITB Post-Show Press Conference and answering “any and all questions” about his impending retirement.

Def Rebel, the team behind the majority of WWE Superstar entrance music over the past few years, has taken a lot of flak for their work on certain themes, but this new one for Breakker appears to have been a hit with fans.

WWE News: Bron Breakker’s new theme

The overwhelming feeling on X/Twitter appeared to be that this new entrance song for the former NXT Champion is a “rare W” for Def Rebel.

Hopefully the company decides to stick with his new presentation for Breakker and he can continue to get over on the main roster.

The Rock Becomes A Meme For Having Really Great Ideas

WWE fans have turned ‘The People Champion’ into a meme after the WrestleMania 40 documentary.

After a few months of anticipation, WWE has finally released their WrestleMania 40 Behind The Curtain documentary on YouTube. Wrestling fans have been looking forward to the project, as it was set to clarify what led to Cody Rhodes taking on Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

The documentary had several memorable moments and reveals throughout the one-hour special. However, one standout moment was when Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson explained how the company initially built towards himself and Reigns. 

In the documentary, Johnson explained how WWE was silently building towards the feud for several years and that it was the plan for WrestleMania 40. The original matchup changed when some of the WWE fanbase voiced their displeasure because they wanted Rhodes to ‘Finish His Story’ against Reigns at the event. ‘The Rock’ reveals that he went to WWE President Nick Khan and Chief Content Officer Paul Levesque(AKA Triple H) to give the fans what they wanted.

This reveal has caused some WWE fans to be skeptical of Johnson’s re-telling of the events of what happened. Nonetheless, the wrestling community has enjoyed the Hollywood superstar’s appearance in the documentary and has turned him into a meme.

Here are some of the fans’ reaction to ‘The Rock’: 

What’s Next For The Rock?

Although fans enjoyed Johnson’s return to WWE, he revealed after confronting Rhodes on the April 8 episode of Monday Night Raw that he would be off TV for a while.

He is filming the upcoming sports biography The Smashing Machine, which is expected to hit theaters next year. ‘The Rock’ will star as Mark Kerr, who is a former UFC fighter who rose to fame but dealt with issues in his personal life that derailed his career, including an opioid addiction.

The Hollywood superstar also has other movies he is set to star in that makes his return to WWE unclear. That said, the end of the WrestleMania 40 documentary teased that Johnson isn’t done wrestling and that he will be coming back to take on Rhodes. The dream matchup could be what WWE has planned for WrestleMania 41 next year.

Regardless, ‘The Rock’ is still entertaining his fans by becoming the latest meme for the wrestling community. 

Zoey Starks Takes Jab At Trish Stratus Ahead Of Money In The Bank

WWE Money In The Bank is upon us. In addition to an action-packed card, it was revealed that WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus will be the special host for the event. This has made fans wonder if there may be more at play when she appears tonight.

One of the featured Money In The Bank matches will have Zoey Starks, Chelsea Green, Naomi, Tiffany Stratton, Lyra Valkyria, and Iyo Sky competing for the briefcase. After the reveal that Stratus will host the event, fans believe she could get involved in the matchup.

Before her hiatus, Starks attacked the WWE Hall of Famer after Stratus lost to Becky Lynch in a Steel Cage match at Payback on September 2, 2023. It’s worth noting that the former WWE Women’s Champion slapped her former protégé first, which led to Starks landing her Z-360 move on Stratus. Since then, Starks has succeeded without the Canadian superstar’s leadership and will attempt to become the new Women’s Money In The Bank winner. However, fans believe that Stratus hasn’t forgotten and may interfere to ensure Starks doesn’t win.

Zoey Starks Sends Tweet Antagonizing Trish Stratus

The chatter from fans on social media seems to have reached Starks, as she sends a reminder to Stratus ahead of the upcoming premium live event. The former WWE NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion shared a gif of her landing her Z-360 on the Canadian superstar on X.

Starks made a disparaging remark about Canada on X yesterday to feed into her ‘Heel’ character. It’s possible that the WWE superstar could find herself in a position to win the Women’s Money In The Bank match, leading to Stratus getting her revenge. The WWE Hall of Famer has been open to a return to the ring, and it would make sense for her to go after her former protégé.

For now, fans must watch tonight’s PLE to see if Starks post towards Stratus and Canada will backfire on her.

Seth Rollins Says Wife Becky Lynch Is Doing Great

Seth Rollins spoke about his wife Becky Lynch during a sit-down interview with Michael Cole that aired during Saturday’s WWE Money in the Bank kickoff show.

Lynch is taking time off from WWE after her contract recently expired. She’s a free agent for the first time in many years. Wrestling fans around the world want to know if she’ll ever return to wrestling, or if we’ve seen The Man ride off into the sunset for the last time.

WWE’s senior broadcaster asked, “Becky obviously leaving WWE after losing the championship, she’s at home with your daughter, how’s she doing, how is The Man?” Rollins respectfully wouldn’t speak for his wife, but did provide a positive update on her and their daughter.

“The Man’s great. She’s great,” Rollins said of his wife. “I can’t speak to her future or what she’s got moving forward, but she’s great, she’s in good spirits. The little one’s awesome as well. She’s a menace, she runs the ship.”

Becky Lynch is currently a free agent for the first time in over a decade, when she initially signed with WWE in 2013. She has not publicly addressed her future in wrestling.

Lynch had an eventful year in WWE, participating in major events like the Royal Rumble and winning the Elimination Chamber match, which led to a WrestleMania XL title match against Rhea Ripley. Although she lost that match, she later won the vacant Women’s World Championship in April, only to lose it 33 days later at King and Queen of the Ring. Her WWE contract reportedly expired on June 1.

Whether or not there will be a major storyline reason for the match taking place last remains to be seen, but there is always a chance that a big return could be on the horizon or a MITB cash-in could occur on Cody.

WWE Money in the Bank Rumors: Fans Convinced Legend is Returning

WWE Money in the Bank is set to take place tonight, and a number of fans have convinced themselves that a legend is making a return.

Although it has not been reported pretty much anywhere reputable in the past week or so, many, MANY fans online believe that AJ Lee will be returning to the company tonight.

AJ Lee rumors running rampant

One of the primary reasons that people believe that she will be returning is to cost Drew McIntyre the chance to become Mr MITB, to further the feud between the Scottish Warrior and her husband CM Punk.

Again, there have been ZERO reports of her making a return ANYWHERE, but the rumor mill continues to roll on and people are getting themselves into frenzy (as always).

Here’s a smattering of the chatter on X/Twitter right now:

We aren’t saying that it won’t happen, but something of this magnitude being withheld from every outlet would be another impressive move from the Triple H regime in 2024.

WWE Money in the Bank: TNA Referee Suggests Hilarious MITB Moment

TNA referee Daniel Spencer has suggested a hilarious WWE Money in the Bank moment that we sadly won’t be seeing materialize.

Taking to X/Twitter, Spencer suggested that R-Truth should win the MITB briefcase and then try to cash in during a TNA show:

“Missed Opportunity for @RonKillings to be in #MITB match, win it and then show up at @ThisIsTNA to cash it in ??.”

R-Truth/Ron Killings in TNA

Ron Killings/R-Truth was previously in TNA in the mid-2000s following his run in the-then WWF as K-Kwik, and with his current gimmick of getting confused…pretty easily…and NXT’s current crossover with TNA, it certainly could’ve been a funny moment.

It’s unlikely we’ll see something like that happen, but it’s not that bad of an idea!
