A new era dawns for WWE's flagship shows, Raw and SmackDown, with a focus on bringing the fans closer to the action. ## According to PWInsider.com, WWE is implementing a significant change in production for both Raw and SmackDown.

Videos and memes quickly circulated on social media platforms. ## The comedic exchange between Cena and Jimmy Kimmel before the award presentation added to the lightheartedness of the moment. Fans appreciated the playful reference to Oscar history and Cena's willingness to poke fun at himself. ## This stunt gave the Oscars a burst of unexpected publicity. News outlets and social media users widely discussed it, keeping the ceremony relevant in online conversations. While many found it humorous, some viewers felt the stunt was inappropriate for the prestigious ceremony. ## While speaking On The Pat McAfee Show, Cena stated the following; ## "I think, I do take it seriously, but I take it seriously not to make myself look cool. Because if you try to look cool all the time, you're just chasing a perfect view of yourself that doesn't exist. Man, I know I got a bald spot on the back of my head. I flossed it last night at WrestleMania, me, you, and like seven out of 10 dudes have them, so I don't care. I'm not perfect. That's not me. So I think instead of trying to craft every situation to how can I look the strongest or the best, I look at every situation about how can we make this the best situation. ## when we go over the Oscar bit and they're like, "Ah, do you want to wear Spanx or spandex or a speedo?" No, make me as naked as possible. So Disney says it's too naked. That's how we go. That's the funny bit. That's the gag. That's why everyone's entertained. Yeah, and I think that's what leads to polarizing opinions, and that's what leads to interest, and people can have that stuff and say like, "Oh, this is this," but it is what it is. It's free for you to decide what you want." ## John Cena's appearance at WrestleMania 40 was indeed a brief one, lasting only about 90 seconds. He interfered in the main event, the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. ## If you use this transcription or any portion of it please credit Sacnilk.com and link to this page ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

John Cena's appearance at WrestleMania 40 was indeed a brief one, lasting only about 90 seconds. Here's what went down. He interfered in the main event, the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns.## Cena took down Solo Sikoa, a member of Reigns' Bloodline entourage, with a signature move. There was a brief confrontation between Cena and his old rival, The Rock. ## This appearance seemed to be a way to acknowledge Cena's legacy in WWE while putting the spotlight on the current generation of wrestlers. In an interview with Pat McAfee after WrestleMania, Cena stated that he will always be part of the WWE family, but the time to compete in the ring has come to a close. ## "I'll change my shirt, but you guys know that comes with a uniform change. So, last night wasn't my last night. So this doesn't mean this is my last uniform." ## "So it's not tough because of the foundation I laid and the promise I made to each and every person who pays attention and gives of themselves to WWE. When I feel I can no longer perform at the capacity of the product, it is time to step away. That's not tough. The toughest thing is that I love it so much, uh, and you can still do it at a high level. Uh, yeah. So, when that time is gone, that means that it's done. I'm actively trying to craft that path right now. So, uh, I've put a line in the sand for myself for 50, and I honestly think it's going to be before that. ## I'll be 47 in a few weeks, so we got time still. Many are calling this the greatest WrestleMania ever, right? And I agree. What a spectacle, what a fantastic WrestleMania. But that's because of the talent that actually put the time in. I showed up for 90 seconds. This is the greatest WrestleMania, with or without my involvement, and that is because of the superstars we have now and their contribution to the business. It is going to be time soon for me to go, and I'm embracing that and enjoying it. It allows me to be present, don't I? I can say this with the utmost certainty: I will always, always be part of the WWE family, but the time to compete in the ring has come to a close." ## If you use this transcription or any portion of it please credit Sacnilk.com and link to this page. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

The Undertaker appeared and chokeslammed The Rock, creating a huge moment at WrestleMania. ## With now, Cody Rhodes now holding the WWE Championship, Cena predicts that he will be the greatest of all time in the coming year. On The Pat McAfee Show, John Cena stated the following about Rhodes. ## "So, in the biggest event of the year, with our most important prize on the line, I am just an advocate for a fair chance, okay? You know I'm a huge fan of Cody Rhodes, but you also know I'm a huge fan of Roman Reigns. I believe Roman Reigns is the greatest of all time. Okay, again, what's great about WWE is you can have your opinion and you can voice yours, and I think that's fantastic. Will Cody Rhodes be the greatest of all time? He's put himself in a good position.## So, going back to what I said about Roman Reigns, that doesn't mean that Cody Rhodes cannot be the greatest of all time. I just want people to understand that I think what's been done so far, you have to put Roman Reigns in that slot, but Cody's story... Cody's story starts, you know? The whole theme of WrestleMania was finishing the story. His story starts today. I told him in the ring last night, and I'm sure he'll be able to relay this same message. ## When I got to embrace him, he had the championship in his right hand, and I said, "Do you feel that?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Do you feel how heavy it is?" He said, "Yes." I said, "It will get heavier every day." Oh, that's deep because that is the burden you bear of trying to craft the path to being the greatest of all time. I hope... I hope, and this should be the goal for the business, every performer should pass the torch up. So, I hope a year from now, two years from now, three years from now, we can all sit here and be advocates that Cody Rhodes is the greatest of all time because that's the way it should work." ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
