Dismissing rumors of a potential return to the ring after his retirement tour, Cena said, 'There is no way. I don't want to speak in absolutes, because I don't want to close any opportunity, but I made a promise to the fans who allowed me to be here for a quarter of a century.'

Priyanka Chopra calls out quote on virginity and marriage falsely attributed to her: ‘Don't believe everything you scroll past'
Priyanka Chopra is busy promoting her upcoming Hollywood action comedy Heads of State, but she couldn't help but notice a quote doing the rounds on social media which has been falsely attributed to her. The actor decided to call it out and clarified that she never said those words. She also cautioned against the misuse of social media. The quote in question read, 'Don't look for virgins as wife. Get a woman with good manners. Virginity ends in one night but manners last forever.' Priyanka shared the screenshot of a portal attributing the quote to her on her Instagram Stories and wrote, 'This is not me, my quote or my voice. Just because it's online, doesn't make it true.' Priyanka Chopra warned her followers against falling for similar fake content. 'Creating fake content is now an easy way to achieve virality. None of the links or 'sources' attached to this claim, or many others online, are reliable or credible. Take a minute to crosscheck such content and don't believe anything you scroll past. Stay safe online,' added the actor. On her appearance on The Ranveer Show in 2023, Priyanka had insisted on the importance of being a 'bold girl' instead of a 'good girl'. She had said, 'Good girls don't make history. Bold girls make history. Bold people make history. So if you want to be the lead actor of your movie, which is your life, you've got to make choices that might be contrary to what you've heard.' Meanwhile, Priyanka Chopra's next film Heads of State will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on July 2. Directed by Ilya Naishuller of Nobody fame, the globetrotting adventure movie features Priyanka alongside Idris Elba and John Cena. It's about the US President (Cena) and the UK Prime Minister (Elba), who must set aside their rivalry to thwart a global conspiracy and save the world — if they can work together. Priyanka is currently shuttling between the US and India as she's also filming for SS Rajamouli's next directorial opposite Mahesh Babu. Meanwhile, season 2 of her spy thriller show Citadel, which was set to release in 2025, has been delayed until spring 2026 as the show, produced by Joe and Anthony Russo's AGBO, is facing challenges once again. The first season of the hit show featured Priyanka Chopra alongside Richard Madden. The spy series, which spanned across six episodes, also starred Stanley Tucci, Lesley Manville, Ashleigh Cummings, Roland Moller, and Rahul Kohli, among others. Shooting for the second season was completed in November 2023. However, Amazon MGM is now making changes to improve the final product.

Michael Pena has also joined the lead cast of the film, which is being produced under the collaboration of Amazon MGM Studios.

US influencer Tanner Martin announces his own death in emotional video, dies at 30
Tanner Martin, a 30-year-old social media influencer from Utah, passed away following a five-year battle with colon cancer. In a deeply moving gesture, Martin announced his death in a pre-recorded video, which was shared on his Instagram account on June 25, just over a month after welcoming his first child, a daughter, with wife Shay Wright. Speaking directly to the camera, Martin began the video by saying, 'Hey, it's me, Tanner. If you're watching this, I am dead.' The video, now widely shared on social media, has left followers emotional and inspired by his strength and grace in the face of terminal illness. 'I had a heck of a life,' Martin said, explaining that he recorded the message as a way to gather his final thoughts and support his wife during the difficult time ahead. 'Life was awesome. I really enjoyed it while I was here… Hopefully there's something after this, and I'm excited to meet those people,' he added. Reflecting on death as a 'new adventure,' Martin expressed gratitude for his life, for his loved ones, and for the community that supported him throughout his illness. 'Thank you for all your support and for helping to make the last years of my life fun, enjoyable, and comfortable,' he said. His wife Shay, captioned the video: 'May the force be with you from our angel force ghost.' She also posted another video detailing Tanner's final wishes. Martin had been documenting his cancer journey on social media, often with a mix of humour and honesty that resonated with thousands. In February 2023, he revealed in an interview with People that his cancer was no longer curable and he had been given a life expectancy of two to five years. Martin's story has since struck a chord with many online. A GoFundMe page launched in his memory describes him as 'a loving husband, a proud father, and a beautiful soul who touched the lives of so many with his courage and humour, even in the face of terminal illness.' The campaign adds that Martin did not have life insurance and was deeply focused on securing a future for his wife and newborn daughter, AmyLou (nicknamed 'Jiaozi'). Just days before the birth of his daughter, Martin had shared a hopeful video online showing baby slippers and expressing excitement for the week off from chemotherapy. 'Anyway, that's what I wanted to share… Love you,' he signed off, blowing kisses to the camera. His final message, filled with love, humour, and honesty, continues to inspire and move people around the world.
