'TNA will always be a part of my story. I do look at Rosita though and go, 'Who is that person?' I feel like I don't know her. She's so far removed from who I am now, she was a baby.'

She explained how the TNA partnership creates new chances that never existed before.
'It's nice to know that there's opportunities, for that to even be a possibility. Same with [the Women's US title]. It was never an option. So it was like, well, yeah.

John Cena reveals hair transplant journey: How the WWE star regained his hair with red-light therapy
WWE legend John Cena has opened up about his hair loss and the hair transplant he underwent last year, calling it a life-changing experience. The 48-year-old wrestler and actor told People magazine that the procedure not only boosted his confidence but also helped his acting career. Cena decided to go ahead after WWE fans noticed his bald spot. 'The audience held up signs calling me 'the bald John Cena',' he said. 'They didn't let me ignore it — and I'm grateful.' John Cena's hair transplant Cena described the procedure simply: 'They don't do anything except move your hair, one by one, from one area to another. If somebody's going to sweat me for that, I don't think there's any shame in that. It completely changed the course of my life.'

'If there wasn't so much shame around hair transplants, I would have done it 10 years ago,' he said. 'It's worth the effort.' How red-light therapy helps hair growth Red-light therapy uses low-level lasers or LED lights, usually around 650 nanometers, to penetrate the scalp. This increases blood flow and stimulates hair follicles, encouraging them to enter the growth phase. It also reduces inflammation around the follicles, slowing hair loss. Studies have found it effective for common male and female pattern baldness, but results require regular sessions over weeks or months. What is a hair transplant? A hair transplant is a surgical procedure where hair is moved from thicker parts of the scalp or body to areas that are thinning or bald. It is usually considered when other treatments, such as topical ointments, fail. Experts use mini- and micro-grafts to ensure the transplanted hair blends naturally with the surrounding scalp. Live Events How does a hair transplant procedure work? Hair is mostly taken from the back of the head. The area is sterilised and numbed with a local anaesthetic before the procedure begins. Two main methods are used: Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): Also called follicular unit strip surgery, this involves removing a strip of scalp from the back of the head. The strip is divided into smaller pieces, and tiny holes are made in the balding area where the hair is transplanted. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): In this method, individual hair follicles are removed from the back of the head after shaving the area. The surgeon then makes small holes in the scalp to graft the follicles. The surgical site is covered with bandages or gauze after the procedure. Is a hair transplant safe? Experts say hair transplants are generally safe when performed correctly. Common side effects can include scarring, infections, scalp pain, inflammation, and uneven hair growth. Rare complications may involve nausea, dizziness, irregular heart rate, or swelling.

Vince McMahon's reaction to Hulk Hogan's WWE RAW return draws mixed reactions from fans
Image via WWE The legendary wrestling star, Hulk Hogan , left the world for the heavenly abode on July 24, 2025. He passed away due to a cardiac arrest in front of his family and loved ones in Clearwater, Florida. Before this unfortunate situation, the WWE Universe saw Hulk Hogan one last time on WWE TV on the debut episode of RAW on Netflix, where he was heavily booed. Months later, former Chairman Vince McMahon gave his honest take on the same, which drew reactions from the audience. Vince McMahon was not happy about fans booing Hulk Hogan in his last televised WWE appearance In an appearance of TMZ's new documentary, 'The Real Hulk Hogan', Vince McMahon was asked about his reaction to fans booing Hulk Hogan on the debut episode of RAW on Netflix. McMahon revealed that he was very angry and believed that Hogan deserved to be treated well that night for his immense contributions to the world of professional wrestling. He said, "I was angry because we've known each other for a lifetime, professionally and personally. And setting up, so to speak, this larger than life superhero, you don't just let him walk out there. He deserved something very, very special. More than anyone, they owe him. It's just like, okay, here comes Hulk Hogan. I got angry because that's not the way I would have done it and he deserved much more." Hulk Hogan getting loud boos was primarily due to the multiple controversies he had been involved in during his lifetime. This included a leaked s*x tape scandal, making racist comments, lawsuits, and other issues. While the fans did what they wanted that night, a lot of reactions after his death saw many of them being apologetic about their actions. Fans reacted to Vince McMahon's statement about Hulk Hogan's last WWE appearance After Vince McMahon's comments became public, wrestling fans took to social media to express their reactions. Some fans believed that McMahon would have countered by piping in cheers, as he did during his time as WWE's head honcho. Another section of fans agreed with Vince McMahon that Hulk Hogan deserved to be treated better for being a pioneer of the wrestling business. However, there was still a notorious section of wrestling fans who stood firm that Hogan got what he deserved in his appearance on the debut edition of Monday Night RAW on Netflix, showering negative comments. Regardless of McMahon's statement getting such a mixed response, there is no doubt that he was a huge supporter of Hulk Hogan throughout his lifetime. Despite the perception about The Hulkster, he will go down in history as one of the greatest WWE superstars of all time and no one would be able to take that away from him.
