John Cena drops ‘Pipe Bomb' promo on CM Punk before WWE Night of Champions
The post John Cena drops 'Pipe Bomb' promo on CM Punk before WWE Night of Champions appeared first on ClutchPoints.
When John Cena announced that 2025 would be his final year in WWE, fans just had to know he'd mix it up one final time with the 'Best in the World,' CM Punk.

With beef that goes back decades and some storied matches held in high regard within the WWE Universe, this particular program is unlike any before because it's Cena who now fills the role of heel, forcing Punk to compromise his integrity at Night of Champions for a chance at the WWE Championship.
After watching Punk come to the defense of Ron Killings after his big revenge match on SmackDown, Cena got physical with the 'Second City Saint,' putting him through a table as the show approached it's conclusion but before it could, the reigning champion wanted to cut a promo for the road; his take on the 'Pipe Bomb' over the body of the term's originator.
'You're better than me at one thing. You're the best bulls**tter in the world. Oh no, kiddos, John Cena just dropped a curse word. That means the show is completely off the rails. Hey, Stu, Stu, shoot this. Hey, I'm breaking the fourth wall,' Cena joked.
'The truth is Punk, I'm jealous of you. I am jealous that you have conned these people into believing the myth that you're the 'Best in the World.' Oh, they chant for you. H*ll, when you come out, they sing to you. That they don't believe a god**mn word you say because you change your values as much as I change my t-shirts.

'You're just a loudmouth opportunist who will step on the necks of people who actually work hard if it gets you ahead. Where's another camera? Hey, hey, Claudio Castagnoli. Hey, Nick Nemeth. Hey, Matt Cardona, how are you guys doing? Oh yeah, we're still on, baby. He's heating up. He's on fire. And there's nobody back there that's gonna cut my mic to save your **, because I'm your only friend.'
Did Cena take an easy shot at some heat to really hammer home his main event against the 'Best in the World?' Yeah, he certainly did, right down to naming wrestlers who don't work for the promotion. With that being said, it does make the eventual match on June 28 in Saudi Arabia all the more interesting, as this could be a greatest hits showdown between two men in their 40s who know they have to leave it all in the ring.

Charlize Theron Uses 1 Harsh Word To Describe Jeff Bezos And His Wedding Guests
We didn't know the next installment in the 'Mad Max' franchise was Furiosa vs. the Broligarchy. Charlize Theron kicked off her fifth annual block party for her Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project— which advances and invests in the health and safety of young people in Africa — Saturday night with an opening quip that made her opinion of Jeff Bezos and his ilk crystal clear. 'I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding,' Theron told event attendees at the Universal Studios backlot, according to the Hollywood Reporter. 'But that's OK because they suck and we're cool.' After the 'Monster' star used one concise word to describe the Amazon founder and the famous attendees of his opulent Venice, Italy, wedding over the weekend, she moved on to thank her attendees for 'taking the time to be a part of this, especially when the world feels like it's burning because it is.' 'Here in Los Angeles, in the U.S. and across the globe, we're moving backwards fast,' Theron said. 'Immigration policy has destroyed the lives of families, not criminals; women's rights are becoming less and less every day; queer and trans lives are increasingly being erased; and gender-based violence is on the rise. This isn't just policy, it's personal.' THR notes that as the crowd began to appllaud, she added: 'Yeah, fuck them.' Bezos aligned himself with MAGA in January, when he snagged primo seats at President Donald Trump's inauguration alongside the other leaders of the nation's biggest technology companies, including Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Apple's Tim Cook and Tesla's Elon Musk. Bezos is seemingly so chummy with the Trump family that the president's eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, attended the billionaire's wedding, which Forbes estimates may have cost around $25 million. Other attendees joining the star-studded guest list included Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Tom Brady, Orlando Bloom and the Kardashian/Jenner family, who weren't exactly welcomed in the Italian city. Despite Bezos and his now-wife, Lauren Sánchez, promising to donate money to Venetian charities after they tied the knot, local activist groups, including Greenpeace, protested the wedding. Critics accused the couple of exploiting a city already suffering from overtourism, rising housing prices and the threat of flooding due to environmental factors. But, unlike Trump, it doesn't seem like Theron thinks that protestors suck. The 'Tully' star noted in her speech Saturday that she feels that the 'resistance' against the president's policies is a glimmer of 'hope.' 'There is power in all of us standing up, organizing, protesting, voting and caring for each other, and refusing to accept that this is the new normal,' Theron said, per THR. 'That spirit of resistance, justice and care for each other, that's the spirit that drives the work at CTAOP.' 'And although our focus is on the youth in Southern Africa,' Theron added, 'what we're really talking about here tonight is that all lives should be valued.'

David Bakhtiari pokes fun at Aaron Rodgers's mystery wedding
David Bakhtiari could be heading to "The Island." Then again, maybe he's already there. On Monday, the former Packers tackle tweeted a video from the recent wedding of current Packers quarterback Jordan Love. Bakhtiari added this: "Just happy at least one of my quarterbacks invited me to their wedding." Advertisement Love and Bakhtiari had limited time together. Bakhtiari started only one game in 2023, Love's first year as a starter and the left tackle's last year in Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers and Bakhtiari had many years together with the Packers. Making the Bakhtiari remark even more interesting is the general haze of uncertainty surrounding the Rodgers wedding. Up to and including whether a wedding even happened. We know, we know. Rodgers doesn't want anyone to talk about his wedding. When you're one of the most famous players in the NFL, however, you don't get to dictate the terms of the attention you receive. Especially when you show up out of nowhere with a wedding ring. Before showing up without it. Before showing up with it prominently in the photo of you signing a contract with your new team. With Rodgers cloaking so much of his life in mystery, it's impossible to know when, where, or who he married. Or if he even is married. Advertisement Maybe the ring is a Costanza-style sociological experiment aimed at seeing whether women will hit on guys who wear wedding bands. Regardless, Bakhtiari went there. We don't know much, but we know Rodgers won't be happy about it.

Olivia Munn Reflects On Being Blamed For Aaron Rodgers' Family Drama
Olivia Munn is trying to set the record straight. The 'Your Friends & Neighbors' actor addressed long-standing rumors she was at the root of ex-boyfriend Aaron Rodgers' estrangement from his family during the Monday episode of 'Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard.' Though many blamed Rodgers' rift with his family on Munn during their three-year relationship, the star said she was not a factor in the falling out. 'There's this whole big narrative that stayed with me for so many years, but there was just this dynamic in the family that had nothing to do with me,' she explained. 'It became this whole big thing, and people were like, 'I can't believe her, she's keeping this family apart.'' While Munn said she did have insight into the family feud, she told Shepard it wasn't her business to share. 'People have speculated for many years what was the rift,' she said, 'and I know, but I'm not saying because it's not my story to tell.' Rodgers defended Munn in interviews for the 2024 book 'Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers,' where he told author Ian O'Connor that his ex had 'nothing to do with all the years' of 'deep rooted' tension in his family. The star of 'The Newsroom' said she appreciated him speaking up, even if some people refuse to accept his explanation. 'You've been asking for the longest time. This is the constant conversation. The man himself is saying it. They don't want that answer,' she told Shepard, adding, 'I was really grateful that he did that. Even if people didn't want to take hold of that statement, it made me feel good that it was said.' Aaron Rodgers Says He's Married. So Who's The Lucky Gal?
