If anyone deserves to break Rick flairs record it’s gotta be John cena

[@davidstephan5116]

It’ll be Charlotte

[@windyacresway]

Cena can't even wrestle.Orton i could get behind as he is a well rounded wrestler like Flair.

[@najpalace3458]

@alooney8299stfu and just quit watching since you hate it so much you’re wasting your time to watch something you obviously don’t like so grow sum balls and stop watching.

Love to see John Cena get his 17th title

[@Nate-qg7zx]

Pollard!!! Missed you brother. Been super busy with work and wrestling at Boogies Wrestling Camp. Glad to see you holding down the fort my friend. Much love!!

Seth Rollins deserves some time off

[@InfectiousGroovePodcast]

It's such a GREAT time to be a wrestling fan!

[@karon718]

Not sure the Uncle Howdy character works without Bray but we'll see I guess.

[@windyacresway]

I wasn't a fan of it when Bray was around.

[@yellowsnowman9157]

It doesn't work at all.

[@KingMetto]

​@@windyacreswayI agree i wasnt feeling Uncle Howdy either.

[@JDTStagg-]

I wasn’t feeling Uncle Howdy either. HOWEVER, I wasn’t feeling the whole Firefly Funhouse thing either, and I absolutely completely turned around on that. I’m sure that if it were able to have been given time, the talent of both Bray and Bo would have meant my opinions on Uncle Howdy could easily have turned around also. I hope this iteration isn’t a like for like of what was attempted previously, more a relatable tortured sole. Although Bo’s in ring work is vastly underrated, I’m intrigued as to his ability on the mic as that never struck me as a strong part of his game…and this kind of character absolutely requires the mic ability for the audience to buy in

[@windyacresway]

@@JDTStagg- If you look back on reviews when Bray returned with uncle howdy most were disappointed with it.The fiend was Bray's best act and the one that gained in popularity with the fans.

[@tonybishop7215]

Thank you bro appreciate you keeping us up-to-date while everybody else was at Wrestlemania

[@outoftheblue7445]

I can’t wait to see Howdy come back and finish Brays Story.

I noticed how seth was after match celebration he was either really selling or actually not okay. Seth kept to his word though with being Cody's shield XD.

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

Not sure why but I feel like one more Mc Foley match would be more awkward than Ric Flair's "last match". I'm glad he's smart enough to listen to his body now. 😄👍

[@Richardarbizo]

Seth and Becky really pulled through for us at mania

[@W.orld.Breaker]

Man I been hoping this for the longest. John is definitely deserving of breaking the record

[@LeMelleKH2]

Nightbirds was also used to tease Bray's return a few years back!

[@brennanhughes976]

Cena 6 month run where he wins the 17th title has to happen!

[@ChrisFactor]

Good morning 🌞 from California

[@Darth_Hitman_]

Love the shirt, Andrew. Hollywood Blonds! Stunning Steve Austin and the late, great Brian Pillman.

[@0PhillMC0]

Cena needs to do an icon vs icon match at wrestlemania with Seth or someone like that. The rock had one with Hulk, Cena had with Rock, now it's his time.

[@ASUThermo]

Let's see a IC run for Cena!

[@RobMueller84]

Why are you guys not mentioning dreadmare around uncle howdy news

[@nathanpritchard5114]

Cena one last title run. He should be the record holder. Flair isn't marketable. Foley coming to his senses is a breath of fresh air. Bo Dallas coming back will be fire. I have faith he will do Brays legacy woth great ease. Idk if its going to be Uncle Howdy though. We shall see.

[@Tuturial464]

Which flair. The one who got that fair with nepotism? Or the plane ride from hell?

[@user-mm4sb3yw1f]

I never was a big Cena fan but I will say like many fans I’ve come to respect the man for everything he’s done for the WWE! If he doesn’t get that 17th title then definitely a IC run would be great! Now outside the ring no one has done more then Cena! His make a wish can’t no one see! Or beat as of right now and I doubt anyone soon will beat that! Cena has earn everything he gotten its well deserved! So as a fan while some will say lets go Cena, me with many others fans will continue with Cena Sucks! He makes that so much fun for us! Thanks Cena!

[@ameliastencil6058]

Agree. He wasn't my cup of tea.. but you certainly can't deny him. I always and even as a kid, felt the same of Hogan. He just never did it for me.. but I respect (for the most part) what he did in the business

[@kevinhousen2791]

​@@ameliastencil6058 Hogan is a perfect example. Wasn't a Hogan guy, it was Bret Hart and Macho Man for me. You couldn't deny Hogan's greatness. Cena should break the record to cement him as one of the greatest of all time.

[@asrar39]

Thank you tribal chief.

[@charanaudugama5840]

Seth should return as a heel. He lost twice in WM40. He lost his title trying to help crown Cody in the process. He should return as a bitter grey character, then go to a full-on heel and start his redemption arc during RR to finish strong in WM41. It may be a win over CM Punk for the Heavy Weight Title at WM41 night 1 Main Event.

[@SithLordMills]

My wife got me a birthday cameo from Mick Foley. I'd love any way to see him again. Just have him as special guest ref or commentator for a Mox death match! That'd be amazing!!

[@SilverCraftLPx]

My completely unrealistic fantasy booking is that Cena returns at the rumble to win the IC title there, loses it at Mania, then chases number 17 for a while and winning it late in the year to put over one more guy massively in the main event of Mania 42 it's not going to happen, but it's what i'd want

[@Tuturial464]

Truthfully. Cena needs to break ric flair record. Especially on his past deeds on the plane ride from hell

[@RoboKnight37]

4 weeks is too short we need to miss Seth.

[@irishted13]

IC Title will get Cena his Grand Slam

[@davidwibben9886]

You deserve a bonus you've carried the show all this week.

[@markusvoltz2025]

We need one last Punk Cena Match

[@pt5728]

Hopefully it’s for the IC title So he ends as a grand slam

[@Alleged_Mercenary]

I thought Cody was about to go heel when he did his speech on Monday, but C.M. Punk he's just so freaking hilarious in this feud with Drew.

[@DariusssSaid]

Mick Foley vs Kenny Omega now BOOK IT

[@andrewmoore5709]

Something about Cena never holding that IC title doesn't sit well with me. I need to see it.

[@marvelsProtege]

John hitting RR with the Attitude Adjuster saved Cody because he was out

[@MrSHADOWANGEL999]

Pretty much

[@cltottles9512]

I’d like to see cena hold the wwe title one last time or even a run as intercontinental champion as his run with the US title was absolute gold

[@KZ900R]

I hope they do uncle howdy. He looked really good at the HOF. Triple H would want to something special for him

[@jmelovesGod]

I think the draft would be better if it happened right after survivor series. Make some of the matches on Survivor series either be for the number 1 pick spot or the people who win those matches get to pick the brand they want to be in or something along those lines. That is IF they are doing smackdown vs raw, if they are just doing a draft to mix things up and Survivor series is just another PLE, then those suggestions wouldn't matter.

[@matthewhostetter8974]

John Cena continues his record of at least one match every year, as R-Truth got to live his Boyhood dream. Bringing back Bo as Uncle Howdy is a great idea, I also hope Braun and Alexa can be involved. Do it as a tribute to Bray. Seth and Becky are both taking a well-deserved break, healing up, and spending time with their daughter. They'll come back a a couple months, with new contracts and a new direction.

[@ElizabethMichalski]

Uncle Howdy Returns

[@DaveyMan8868]

"Cena can't do the things he used to do." Which was what? He only has 3 moves so now he'll only be able to do 2?

[@Aaron.T_82816]

5:33 Either an IC title win OR number 17, for me. Just so he can have that one last taste of glory before calling it quits and going into the Hall of Fame, whenever 🙏❤

[@xsvrrx]

Unsure how I feel about bringing back uncle howdy. I'll need time to ponder. But I probably would make me cry

[@Richardarbizo]

If we could get a year of cena it would be amazing. Curious if they would consider giving him any title at any point and have him lose it at WM for his final match in 2026?

[@cahbishop1]

Is it just me, or does anyone else think if they dropped Dom and JD that Judgement Day would be cheered like faces? Not that would necessarily be a good change of dynamic, but everyone loves or wants to love Rhea, Priest and Finn.

[@user-zo1pz8dn1u]

Cody is Hunter’s Hogan.

[@darrelladams4188]

Foley doesn’t need to come back…. Drs say the more concussions you have the easier chance of the next one. Some believe you might even get a “ soft concussion “ from just blowing your nose or a couple sneezes. I can remember “ seeing stars “ off a few sneezes. We love you Mick ❤❤❤❤

[@peterrewiti2315]

Dont let Cena come back as a heel he stands as a hero to the young kids and he encouragement to people

[@MzCookiezfourtwnty]

So, he's better version of Cody.. lol 🤣 Cody n John are the same kinda thing..lol my opinion.. If little kids wants n Teenagers want something positive.. watch cartoon's. Lol 🤣 There's No Positivity in wrestling I learned that back in the 80's. Hulkster,Ric Flair... Lol 🤣 and just the people who wrestled back in the day.. that's when started to like Heels. Lol

[@The_Phoenix_Saga]

@@MzCookiezfourtwnty Cartoons in the 80s and early 90s weren't all hunky dory: some were dark and certainly didn't condescend it's audience. SonicSAM and the first two seasons of MMPR had some pretty dark tones and it worked. I miss those times: these days even just saying Boo to a ghost gets this soft generation riled up about their feelings. On the opposite end they're just plain feral. Cartoons like that and the 80s, Attitude and even Ruthless Aggression eras in Wrestling wouldn't fly because of it. Shame.

Cena only needs to be around for like 8 months out of the year. Let him do what he did last time, win the WWE title for like a month and then maybe put over new talent in a good story. Or give him the IC belt for the grand slam.

They should have Bo come back as the happy guy again but he has a match where he starts losing and all of a sudden hebstarts acting differently and is like a different person. Goes through a few weeks of “what’s happening,” “that’s not me,” & slowly being taken over or used by a force that is nmds up being “uncle howdy.” Idk if it would be too dark to do it this way but like a generational spirit type thing, the spirit had to find a new host or something after bray and it’s now gone to Bo
