"No idea how this will end": Referee Charles Robinson shaken as John Cena crosses line at WWE Night of Champions
At the WWE Night of Champions 2025, referee Charles Robinson has seen just about everything that can happen inside a ring, but even the longest-serving official in the company's history was unprepared for the shocking turn John Cena took on June 28.

Shortly thereafter, Robinson took to Instagram, posting a vague yet troubling message, sparking concern amongst fans and those in the know:
'No idea how this will end @wwe #nightofchampions. Loved my time in #saudi. #wrestling #running #crash'
The post, which has since taken off, has left many wondering what it all truly meant and the series of chaotic events that led to this point.
John Cena's shocking move against referee Charles Robinson
When chaos reigned supreme inside the arena during the Undisputed WWE Championship main event featuring John Cena and then-WWE Champion CM Punk.
When the match official was taken out by a collision, Seth Rollins and his crew capitalised on the opportunity to interfere. Or so it seemed when Rollins had Charles Robinson come out as a backup referee, with the idea being that this would ensure Punk won.
But then, something happened that stunned everyone. As soon as Robinson had arrived at the ring, John Cena ran down the ramp and tackled him to the floor, ensuring that the match would not go as Rollins intended.
The action was particularly aggressive for Cena, and brought both boos and gasps from the audience. This was a rare combination that led to a sense of stunned silence that didn't last long.
Fallout and growing uncertainty
Charles Robinson, also known by the name of "Little Naitch," has been a longtime WWE referee for decades. An Instagram post of his saying,
"No idea how this will finish,"
has led to talk about whether the incident will have taken a toll on him mentally and physically. That boundary between scripted action and real life has never felt thinner
It may signal a change in John Cena's character heading into the remainder of his farewell tour.

You would have never guessed that the "never give up" kid who was once the embodiment of integrity and respect would seemingly reveal a darker, unpredictable side. That another character is attacking a referee — a line that even the most villainous superstars barely ever step over — raises the stakes of the Cena storyline even further.

With SummerSlam on the horizon, WWE has a lot of questions to answer. Will Cena be held liable for those actions? Will he bounce back, and if so, how? And in such a charged atmosphere and with the WWE Universe so pumped up, Robinson's ominous words might hit harder than anyone would have thought they would.

Speaking to The Times of India, Nikita recounted the surreal moment. She said, 'He was sitting across at a restaurant in London. I was seated in a way where I could see him right in front of me. At first, I couldn't believe it was him. Once I was sure, the fan in me was just happy to see him in person." Respectful of his privacy, Nikita held back from interrupting his dinner. But fate played its part. 'Luckily, on his way out, I was around at the same time and decided to tell him how I've watched his film The Holiday many times," she shared. Jude's response only deepened her admiration. 'With his wit and humility, he jokingly replied, 'I'm sorry I don't look that young anymore,'" Nikita said. 'He was very gracious to take a picture. It left me charmed with the same image I have of him from the film," she concluded. Professionally, Nikita Dutta is riding high on the success of Netflix's Jewel Thief – The Heist Begins. The film, featuring her alongside Saif Ali Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat, impressed fans with her poised and impactful performance. Helmed by Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal, the action-packed thriller revolves around a master thief who is on a mission to steal the coveted African Red Sun diamond. What begins as a meticulously planned heist turns into a web of betrayals, double-crosses and shifting loyalties.

Indian Mom Treats American Vlogger Like "Baby" While Serving Food, Internet Approves
Indian moms express their love in specific ways. Some of the most popular expressions involve food - whether it is making their children's favourite dishes from scratch, cutting fruits for them every day or packing their lunches with great care. Another 'love language' many of us are familiar with is our moms feeding us food by hand, especially when we are in a hurry or don't feel like eating alone. Recently, an American vlogger visiting India got a taste of this kind of affection. He posted a video about the same on Instagram, and it has gone viral. Also Read: The reel, which was filmed in a house in Kolkata, was shared by American content creator Dustin Cheverier. It is titled, "Indian Mom Feeds Me Like A Baby." He moves the camera to show how the mother is mixing food on a thali with her hands for him. "Just to make sure I eat it right," he says. Dustin takes a seat at the table, and then the mom starts feeding him the rice mixed with sabzi and what might be dal. Dustin has a big smile in between mouthfuls, which seems to indicate that he is enjoying the experience. The mom tells him to bite slowly. At one point, he tells her that he will eat on his own. The mom is heard saying (in Bengali) that Dustin would end up taking a lot of time if he ate on his own. She continues feeding him and also shows him how to scoop up the food with his hands to feed himself. Watch the complete viral reel below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vietnam Meets Dustin (@dustincheverier) Also Read: Punjabi Mom Uses Tortillas To Make Samosas, Foodies React Here's how Instagram users reacted to the viral video: "You will eat more when Mom feeds broo." "That's so sweet of her." "She's feeding because he takes too long to eat, and it makes her impatient." "This proves you actually became a son to a Bengali mother. Their love language is overloading you with food." "She is not only feeding you food, she is giving all of her love, fondness too you. Even sometimes she is saying, 'Aste aste kha,' just like a caring mother for her own child, it means eat slowly.. such a blessed man you are." "Aunty even says, 'He'll take hours to finish', 'Can't even eat!' Cutest." "My mom still does it when I say I don't wanna eat. Indian Moms are like this only!" "I'm 30, and my mum still feeds me when I urge her to, absolute bliss." Before this, a social media post about an Indian mom using a beer bottle as a rolling pin went viral and won many hearts.
