Update on John Cena's return, HHH and Bruno Sammartino, Divas Revolution in Saudi Arabia
- John Cena’s time off has been the talk of the town, which is obvious as he holds the distinction of being one of the most hated stars when it comes to the IWC.
It has been reported earlier that Cena won't be a part of WWE TV and live events post-Hell In a Cell. He is scheduled to be on break, up until late December and he would be back in action at the next Madison Square Garden live special that has been scheduled to take place on 26th December.
Cena has been advertised for the special alongside other stars such as Kevin Owens, Dean Ambrose, Ryback, Rusev, and Sheamus. The WWE is opting to go the safe route for the next MSG special as Cena guarantees buy rates and ratings.
So it can be ascertained that Cena would be out for almost two months and would be back for the post-Christmas show. He is most likely to be involved in a feud with the “Show Off” Dolph Ziggler after the seeds for it were sown on this week’s RAW.
- There are a few stars in the annals of the WWE that are just on a higher rung than the rest, that is because of the sheer magnitude of their accomplishments. Bruno Sammartino is one of those legends, who is celebrating his 80th birthday today. He holds the record for being the longest reigning WWF Champion that lasted for 2080 days.
WWE legends in spite of hanging up their boots make random appearances on WWE TV every once in a while, but Bruno was an exception until Triple H brought him back recently. The Game posted the following tweet wishing the HOFer:
- The WWE is looking to conquer the Middle East as they have announced live shows in Saudi Arabia, as three shows are scheduled to take place in Jeddah. The Miz, Seth Rollins, and other noteworthy stars are all set to be at the show, but the Divas would be missing out on the action.
It seems the WWE is apprehensive about the potential backlash from the conservative Arab country where the treatment of women is always a matter of debate. WWE wants to stay away from any possible trouble. Saudi Arabia thus would not be able to witness the Divas Revolution due to the restrictive laws against women that are prevalent in the Arab powerhouse.
