The
17-time WWE World Champion
John Cena wants to explore the horror genre for his next Hollywood role. While 2025 is his final year as an active WWE competitor, and he is currently busy preparing for his last matches, John Cena is equally expanding his presence in Hollywood, too.
During a recent appearance at the Philadelphia Fan Expo, Cena took part in a fan Q&A where he discussed a range of topics, from his WWE legacy to future acting ambitions. A highlight of the event was when he disclosed his desire to appear in a horror film, be it as a fearsome antagonist or a hapless casualty.
Cena said, 'My answer to that is yes, because I've never been in a horror film. So I would just want to be in a horror film. If you're out there and you're doing it, I'm available.'
Over the years, John Cena has cemented his legacy as one of the finest actors in the Hollywood industry. His
filmography
includes action hits like The Suicide Squad, comedies like Blockers, and family fare such as Ricky Stanicky, has proven himself to be a versatile actor.
Now, it appears he's ready to step into darker territory, and Hollywood may just take him up on the offer.

Chad Gable dismisses ‘El Grande Americano' speculation ahead of blockbuster WWE weekend
Chad Gable has once again denied persistent fan theories linking him to the masked Luchador, El Grande Americano. The rumors flared up after Monday Night RAW when Americano clinched a major victory in a Triple Threat Match against CM Punk and AJ Styles to qualify for the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now But fans weren't just focused on the win, they noticed something peculiar: white wrestling boots with 'C.G.' engraved on the side, worn by Americano. commentator Michael Cole didn't miss the detail, and neither did fans online, reigniting speculation that Gable is moonlighting behind the mask. Chad Gable clears the air on gear swap Taking to social media, Gable attempted to explain the coincidence. He stated that El Grande Americano had lost his boots en route to Tulsa and simply borrowed Gable's as a last-minute fix. 'Really really proud of this guy! Even though I DID have to borrow him my boots (which he stretched out) last night because the airlines lost his,' Gable wrote. 'Big day for both of us Saturday, hombre!' His post hasn't convinced everyone, but it adds another layer of amusement to what many see as WWE's most playful mystery. Both Gable and El Grande Americano are set for high-stakes action this Saturday in California. El Grande Americano will take part in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match alongside Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, Penta, Seth Rollins, and Andrade at the Intuit Dome. Earlier in the day, Gable will face El Hijo del Vikingo for the AAA Mega Championship at WWE and AAA's crossover event, Worlds Collide, at the Kia Forum. The packed schedule, along with their uncanny overlap - has only added fuel to the fire. Yet, WWE seems happy to let the speculation continue, leaning into the mystery for maximum fan engagement. PENTA Nearly Paralyzed Chad Gable with STUPID MOVE Veteran wrestling figure Dutch Mantell recently commented on Gable's match last week, where a botched move by Penta nearly led to injury. Mantell stressed that both superstars share responsibility for the miscue but applauded Gable's professionalism and poise in the ring. Whether or not Chad Gable is El Grande Americano remains an open question, and a highly entertaining one at that. As WWE prepares for a massive weekend, fans are left to wonder: will the truth be revealed, or is the mystery part of the magic?

He finished the IPL 2025 season with 475 runs in 17 matches. His tally of 475 runs helps him break the record of most runs in an IPL season by an uncapped Indian batter. Before Arya, the record was in the name of Devdutt Padikkal. In IPL 2020, Padikkal scored 473 runs for RCB. 475 – Priyansh Arya, 2025 473 – Devdutt Padikkal, 2020 439 – Shreyas Iyer, 2015 397 – Tilak Varma, 2022 391 – Rahul Tripathi, 2017 370 – Venkatesh Iyer, 2021 Arya scored one century and two fifties for Shreyas Iyer-led side in IPL 2025.

He added 43 runs in five overs with Prabhsimran Singh (26) for the first wicket before Josh Hazlewood brought an end to his innings.

Priyansh's performance in IPL 2025 Arya made his IPL debut for PBKS against GT in Ahmedabad on March 25 and scored 47 runs from 23 balls. In PBKS' second league match against LSG in Lucknow, he got out for 8 runs from nine balls and was clean bowled for a golden duck by Jofra Archer in the PBKS-RR match on April 5 in Mullanpur. He, however, quickly bounced back from that setback and scored a 38-ball century against CSK on April 8. In PBKS' fifth league match, Arya scored 36 off 13 balls against SRH and followed it up with scores of 22 from 12 against KKR, 16 against RCB in Mullanpur and 22 in Bengaluru.
