Eric Bischoff Names Which WWE Star Should Join John Cena And The Rock
Eric Bischoff names one WWE star he'd like to see get a chance in the spotlight alongside John Cena and The Rock.
Since John Cena turned heel and aligned with The Rock at WWE Elimination Chamber, fans have buzzed about their alliance. Travis Scott's involvement in the group has been especially controversial. There has been speculation that another superstar could potentially join them. WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff recently shared his thoughts.
Speaking on his 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff named Karrion Kross as a WWE star who would benefit from joining forces with The Rock and John Cena.
'Karrion Kross needs something … I just feel something, my instinct tells me something about that guy,' Bischoff said. 'His character to me feels like it's off about three degrees. It just needs to be fine-tuned a little bit. He's a dangerous guy, he's good in the ring. There's something a little mysterious about him and that's projected intentionally. But I think if they dialed that back just a little bit and brought a little bit more authenticity to him, unpolish him just a little bit, I think he could be a really cool character.'

John Cena has appeared on WWE RAW twice in recent weeks. He is set to appear again on the March 31st episode of WWE RAW.

WWE Raw results, highlights (June 2): El Grande Americano beats CM Punk, AJ Styles
The WWE Money In the Bank matches are set — and folks, CM Punk will not be involved. "WWE Raw" in Tulsa, Oklahoma delivered a shock ending with the men's triple-threat main event to decide the last entrant in the men's Money In the Bank ladder match. Things are getting out of hand because El Grande Americano defeated Punk and AJ Styles to round out the participants. 😱 Swerve of the Night I'm not even sure how to start this one. Chad Gable's luchador gimmick has been pushed far beyond what anyone could have expected. We all love a good swerve, but this just felt wrong, especially after how "WWE Raw" opened. Advertisement Punk laid down the gauntlet with a promo that was simple but to the point, claiming he was coming after both world champions, starting with Jey Uso and then John Cena. The callbacks were solid when Punk mentioned Cena, and that feels like the type of direction Punk should be heading at the end of all this. If he's the one to dethrone Cena, it would be beautifully poetic. Everyone remembers Punk walking out with the title after that historic moment they shared back in the day. The reversal in 2025 would be Punk taking the belt with Cena on his way out. Hopefully, we get there, but for now, it's just a continuous loop of the Seth Rollins forever feud. That's fine, but WWE needs to find ways to keep it fresh and fast. Sami Zayn came out to tell Punk he needed to win the Money In the Bank ladder match, otherwise, Rollins would ruin everything. Circling back to Cena, it was hilarious to hear Zayn say that because Cena is the one literally saying he's trying to ruin wrestling. Meanwhile, this story is being portrayed as Rollins trying to ruin it. Not from him, but his rivals. In a way, he really has been somewhat of the good guy in all of his storylines for roughly the past year now. In the end, Zayn promised he and Punk would meet again when Punk is the champion. Well, it's not looking so good at this rate, bud. There were some nice wrinkles to everything around this match throughout the night, like Paul Heyman's attempt to persuade Styles to go for the Intercontinental title instead. Sadly, "The Phenomenal One" arguably looked like the biggest bozo of the night. Advertisement Regarding the match, first and foremost, Styles is one of the greatest triple-threat match wrestlers of all time. If you know, you know. And seeing him and Punk together in a match again was pretty insane. It was nice to see them tell the referee to check Americano for the steel plate in his mask. The match had plenty of unsurprisingly awesome sequences, then Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed prevented Punk's pin of Americano off a GTS, prompting the arrival of Zayn and Uso. Here's where it was particularly silly. Still in the ring as the chaos unfolded away from the match on the outside, Styles just decides to jump off the top rope onto the pile of bodies, excluding Americano. My guy, how many years have you been in the business? The booking of that spot makes Styles look so incredibly dumb. Ultimately, it set up his attempt at the Phenomenal Forearm on Americano, who was still in the ring, only to be countered with a headbutt that earned him the pin. Advertisement This is nuts, and I'm unsure how to feel about it. If anything, there's now no chance Rollins wins the ladder match for as long as Punk is still breathing. And like I said last week, his boys should literally just help him try to win from the beginning of the match because they can. There are a lot of holes in all of the logic around this storyline at this point, but I'll tell you what, I won't even be surprised if Americano actually wins it now. This might be Triple H's comedy replacement for R-Truth and Carlito. I wish I were joking. Maximum unpredictability Perhaps my investment is just deeper than I realize, but the women's Money In the Bank ladder match realistically could — and should — have anyone but Rhea Ripley win. That's no knock on Ripley; she simply could use it the least of any other five options, and any of them makes sense, and choosing the right person feels impossible. That's a good problem to have because of how any can be good. Advertisement However, no one right is looking better than this show's... 👑 Uncrowned Gem of the Night 👑 Let's lay a little foundation for the final qualifier match that happened on "WWE Raw." It was Liv Morgan vs. Ivy Nile vs. Stephanie Vaquer. The latter of which is now officially a member of the "WWE Raw" roster after she recently dropped her NXT Women's Championship to Jacy Jayne. Spoiler alert: She won. That woman is a megastar in the making and should be treated as such, so push her beyond the moon. Her presentation should automatically lead viewers to think she'll win the briefcase. It's been the definition of investment in "La Primera" and rightfully so. She's so damn good. ♻️Repeat of the Night Regarding one of the Women's Tag Team Champs Morgan, this was another case of WWE devaluing titles by putting them in qualifier matches. WWE did it with both U.S. Champions participating in — and losing — Money In the Bank qualifiers this year. It's so, so dumb, and it hurts the already absolutely pointless Women's Tag Team titles more than the others. One could argue that it doesn't really matter because of its non-existent value. On top of it, something is already getting teased between Morgan and the Women's World Champion Iyo Sky, which I can't imagine many people have an interest in. I certainly don't. 🫨Contrast of the Night After mentioning the Women's U.S. Championship, we have to talk about the difference between how WWE is treating that title and its Intercontinental counterpart. It's stunning. Zelina Vega and Chelsea Green are in a perpetual loop of nonsense with the U.S. strap, while Lyra Valkyria is doing the best work of her career on the mic with Becky Lynch — a main event caliber dance partner. Advertisement Lynch delivered a solid video promo before she was called out by the almost unnecessarily angry Valkyria in the ring. She justified it quickly and dug into the former world champ with great barbs. Lynch's focus on the hand-raising from Valkyria after their match is pretty silly, and this program really should have continued after WWE Backlash, but as long as Valkyria hangs onto the title, it will have been a win for her. 🚫DQ of the Night There's no point to some of these matches in WWE under Triple H, other than to highlight how dumb they can be. Jey Uso and Sami Zayn defeated Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker by DQ when Seth Rollins attacked Uso. So why bother? Advertisement The match didn't even progress the storyline between everyone, as Punk arrived to even the numbers, and that was that. 👍MONDAY NIGHT MONEY👍 1. Michael Cole made good on his bet after the New York Knicks beat the Indiana Pacers in the NBA playoffs, which meant he had to wear a Pacers jersey for the whole show. That was just good wholesome fun. 2. WWE probably wasn't thrilled about it, but there were several "Bring back Truth" and "We want Truth" chants in honor of the recently released R-Truth throughout "WWE Raw." It's pretty wild to hear that type of support, but you love to hear the crowd let their voices be heard. 3. Kairi Sane defeated Raquel Rodriguez in their match thanks to the aid of Sky, who stopped Morgan's interference. The positive here is Sane staying strong since she returned and picking up wins, somewhat single-handedly embarrassing the Women's Tag Team Champions. However, WWE is clearly going to inject Morgan somehow back into the Women's World title picture, as evidenced by these Sky interactions. Advertisement Ideally, the Roxanne Perez Judgment Day involvement will steer her from that path. 4. Karrion Kross continued his attempts to persuade the "real" Zayn to come out backstage after his match against Reed and Breakker. This has to build to something, whether that's a team with Kross or turning heel on his own to pursue a world title, either works. 👎RAW DEAL👎 1. The backstage Rusev video packages continued. When he popped on screen tonight, I legit thought to myself: "Miro!" Rusev is WWE Miro now, and it's pretty disheartening, especially when Miro was so good and could have been great if utilized effectively. The callbacks to his and Sheamus' history were good, but to do it with the same old style is lame. Give this guy something new. I'm begging you, Triple H. Advertisement 2. The Judgment Day (Finn Balor and JD McDonagh) defeated The War Raiders — with the help of Perez, because The Judgment Day might literally not be allowed to win without an interference. The match was fine, but a rehash of something we've seen before. Outside of The Judgment Day story progression, which was very minimal with this, there's zero reason to care about this tag team division. 3. WWE showed a hype video for Uso and Gunther's rematch next Monday, which was loaded mainly with footage of everything before WrestleMania 41. You know. Because nothing new has happened between them since, and for Gunther specifically, he's only had one match, and it was against a commentator. 👑Despite that wild booking choice that closed out this "WWE Raw," there was more good than bad, and it was an enjoyable show. I give it a Crown score of: 7.5/10.👑

WWE Raw Results, Winners And Grades On June 2, 2025
CM Punk vs. AJ Styles vs. El Grane Americano. Credit: WWE WWE Raw advertised CM Punk vs. AJ Styles and El Grande Americano for the final men's Money in the Bank spot. WWE also advertised Stephanie Vaquer vs. Ivy Nile and Liv Morgan for the final women's Money in the Bank spot. The Judgment Day faced The War Raiders, and Sami Zayn and Jey Uso faced Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. CM Punk vowed to win the Money in the Bank match and said he'd either cash it in on Jey Uso or John Cena. Punk called Dwayne Johnson a 'bald fraud and a goof' when referencing The Rock, who bought Cena's soul. Punk kissed up to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who will be appearing in the NBA Finals. Michael Cole was wearing a Pacers jersey after losing a bet with Pat McAfee. Sami Zayn interrupted Punk, and as his music died down there were slight 'we want Truth' chants. Sami Zayn cut a promo on Punk saying Punk has to win the briefcase to keep it from Seth Rollins. Apparently, Sami was unaware there are seven other five other stars who can win Money in the Bank outside of Rollins. Sami's promo had the same vibes as Will Ospreay imploring Hangman Adam Page to beat Jon Moxley at AEW All In Texas, except in this case, fans actually care about the heel stable. Backstage, Ivy Nile told Roxanne Perez to stay out of her way. Roxanne obliged. Just like she did in AEW, just like she did in NXT, Stephanie Vaquer was over the moment she stepped through the smoke during her entrance. Fans chanted 'Stephanie!' before the match even began. Vaquer performed her scissor stomp, and Pat McAfee was utterly terrible in his Booker T impression. Vaquer won the match with the Devil's Kiss on Ivy Nile, and I would have no problem if WWE put the rocket on her immediately with a Money in the Bank win. Vaquer had a backstage moment with Rhea Ripley after her win. After Liv Morgan's loss from earlier, suddenly it's Finn Balor who is winning matches while his Judgment Day contemporaries are struggling. The New Day once again appeared on commentary to troll the War Raiders. Roxanne Perez interfered, successfully distracting the War Raiders as Finn Balor picked up the win with the Coup de Grace. As a result, Liv Morgan lost without the help of Perez, while Balor and JD McDonagh won with Perez's help. Backstage, Becky Lynch cut a promo on Lyra Valkyria about how she's in a lose-lose situation headed into Money in the Bank. Lyra Valkyria called out Becky Lynch to confront her live. Lynch obliged, but when Lyra tried cutting her promo, fans gave poor Lyra the 'What' treatment. Valkyria and Lunch brawled at the end of the segment, and had to be separated by WWE officials. Both Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed's music was used in their entrance themes, further evidence that WWE has yet to come up with a group name or music for this faction. There was an excellent spot where Breakker and Reed (dressed in all black) caught Sami Zayn and Jey Uso hit a Suicide Dive to topple all three of them over. Sami Zayn, also dressed in all black appeared out of nowhere to hit a Curb Stomp for the DQ. As Bronson Reed teased a Tsunami on Zayn through a table, CM Punk saved the day with a steel chair. Backstage, Zayn had another confrontation with Karrion Kross, who once again tried to tempt him to turn heel. Backstage, Morgan warned Finn about Roxanne Perez, implying she doesn't trust either of them. Balor reminded Morgan that things didn't go Liv's way last week or this week. Morgan shot down Balor's idea to have Roxanne corner Raquel Rodriguez. Balor then teased coming after Dom's IC Title. The highlights of this match were all the times fans loudly chanted 'We want Truth!' and 'We want R-Truth!' They also chanted 'What's Up?!' The announcers blatantly ignored the chants, except when Pat McAfee finally said 'That's what's up!' As The Judgment Day benefited from the numbers game, Iyo Sky made the save and attacked Liv, who had another backstage moment with Iyo earlier in the night. Kairi capitalized on the distraction and defeated Raquel with an Insane Elbow. The way this storyline is headed, Liv Morgan is going to dethrone Iyo Sky and Roxanne Perez very well may be holding the Money in the Bank briefcase while Liv is world champion. CM Punk's entrance received the Xfinity decibel meter treatment, and it peaked at around 101 decibels. At the request of CM Punk and AJ Styles, referee Shawn Bennett checked El Grande Americano's mask to make sure there was no steel inside. Silly babyfaces, El Grande Americano usually puts the steel in his head during the match, not before. Punk and Styles immediately dumped El Grande Americano out of the ring. After taking a hard hit from Styles, Punk appeared to lose a tooth, but it may have been chewing gum. Punk teased unmasking El Grande Americano, and there was a huge pop until Americano thwarted the unmasking with a jawbreaker over the rope. There was a dueling chant of 'He's Chad Gable/No he's not!' Breakker pulled Punk out of the ring as he was going for the win. Jey Uso and Sami Zayn saved Punk, which played into what Gunther told Jey backstage: that Jey can't help but save all his friends when he should be focusing on his match against Gunther. Of course, El Grande Americano won with a diving loaded headbutt to AJ Styles. Rollins, Breakker and Reed laid out the babyfaces to end the show. This included, not one, but two Tsunamis on Jey Uso who continues to spread himself too thin.

R-Truth Names His Favorite Comedy Moments in WWE
One of the funniest characters in professional wrestling is former 24/7 Champion R-Truth. His jokes have made people in the crowd laugh, and have also sometimes made wrestlers break character too. Recently, Truth named his favorite moment in which wrestlers broke character. While speaking to Chris Van Vliet on his Insight podcast, R-Truth shared that his favorite moment was when he made The Beast, Brock Lesnar, break character. It was back in 2020, ahead of the Royal Rumble PLE. Truth came out during an episode of Raw, seemingly challenging Lesnar, but instead called out Paul Heyman. Truth also shared how the segment came to fruition. Advertisement 'Definitely the Brock Lesnar thing, which I got my friend Chris Dunn, he's is a writer. I kept forgetting to tell people that he was the one that helped me with that in the back. And Paul just surprising everybody, We're not going to let Brock know what we're going to do. It's just going to be a free fall. I'm like Brock is a beast. I think we should let Brock know what we're going to say about Brock. So funny thing is, I mean, I love Brock. Brock walked into gorilla, and it was simply just like he walked in. He's like, so what are we doing? And I'm looking at everybody for somebody to say something to this dude. Nobody said nothing. He's like, alright, well, guys, we just go out there and talk there and talk then. And I'm like, Oh y'all got this dude going out there. But it turned out to be one of the best moments,' R-Truth said. What is your favorite R-Truth moment? The post R-Truth Names His Favorite Comedy Moments in WWE appeared first on Wrestlezone.
