Another user wrote, 'This is nothing more than an insecure rich man trying to flaunt his wealth in front of a gathering of family & friends.
The bride is probably embarrassed AF about this, but will never say anything because "free shit".'

John Cena's bizarre post after R-Truth release sparks speculation: ‘Are you behind this?'
Ron Killings, popularly known as R-Truth, was released by the WWE on Sunday, he announced on social media. The 53-year-old's tweet came as a surprise to fans, especially since Killings fought John Cena just last week in Saturday Night's main event. Truth wore Cena-like gear for the event and also taunted his 'childhood hero' by making an entry on the 17-time world championship winner's track. However, the Saturday Night bout lasted only a few minutes. John Cena quickly pinned down his opponent for a win. Soon after R-Truth announced his release, Cena posted a bizarre image on Instagram. While random posts are not new for Fast and Furious star, the timing has caused speculation. 'Were you behind the release?' one person asked on social media. 'Go get r truth back cena,' another one added in the comment section. However, there is no connection between R-Truth being released and John Cena. A post shared by John Cena (@johncena) 'Im sorry to inform you all. I just got released from WWE. I want to thank WWE for the ride, but MOSTLY I want to thank each and EVERYONE OF YOU who was along for the ride, Thank you for all the love, support, and appreciation you have given me over the years. Thank you 🙏🏾' Ron Killings announced on X, platform formerly known as Twitter. The feud between R-Truth and John Cena centers on a mix of personal betrayal, contrasting personas, and Cena's heel turn. R-Truth and John Cena have a storied history dating back to 2011, when they clashed over the WWE Championship at Capitol Punishment. Truth, then a heel, challenged Cena's popularity with intense promos, including harassing a young fan, but lost the title match. Their rivalry included two PLE main events and a tag team match at Survivor Series 2011, with Truth holding a 2-1 singles record over Cena before 2025.

Max Verstappen Cursed To 10th! Penalised After Ramming Into Mercedes' Russell At Spanish GP
Last Updated: Max Verstappen got a 10-second penalty for colliding with George Russell in the Spanish Grand Prix, finishing 10th. He accused Charles Leclerc and Russell of unfair driving. Max Verstappen found himself at the center of controversy on Sunday when stewards ruled he had rammed rival George Russell during the final laps of an eventful Spanish Grand Prix. The incident occurred shortly after the race resumed with five laps remaining following a safety car period. Verstappen lost third place to Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and then went off track while attempting to defend against Russell's Mercedes. A dramatic restart! 😱This was a heart-in-mouth moment between Verstappen and Leclerc 👀 #F1 #SpanishGP — Formula 1 (@F1) June 1, 2025 Verstappen's Red Bull team instructed him to yield the position to Russell. The Dutchman appeared to comply as he slowed into turn five with two laps to go, but instead, he collided with the Mercedes. The stewards handed Verstappen a 10-second penalty, resulting in a 10th-place finish. He expressed dissatisfaction with how Leclerc had overtaken him and how Russell had attempted to pass. After the race, Verstappen accused Leclerc of driving into him while overtaking and said Russell pushed him off track, forcing him to take the escape road to maintain fourth place. Verstappen did not deny that his move on Russell, with whom he had a contentious relationship last season, was intentional. Verstappen dismissed questions about defending his drivers' title. 'We are too slow to fight for the title anyway. That was clear again today," he remarked. When asked by Sky if his reputation was being tarnished by the collisions and penalty, he replied, 'Is it? Well, that's your opinion. We'll leave it there." Russell likened Verstappen's move to video games. 'I was as surprised as you guys," he told reporters. 'I've seen these maneuvers in simulator games and karting, but never in F1." 'Ultimately, we finished P4 and he finished P5. I don't know what he was thinking. It felt deliberate at the time, so it was surprising." 'It is up to the stewards to determine if it was deliberate. Max is an amazing driver and is admired by many. It's unfortunate that incidents like this continue to happen. It seems unnecessary and never benefits him." Leclerc and Verstappen were both summoned to the stewards' office after the race for further investigation into their collision. (with agency inputs)
