WWE’s Triple H responds to angry fans after John Cena’s final match

WWE legend John Cena wrestled his final match last night (13th December), but many fans were less than pleased with the result – prompting chief content officer Triple H to explain why it happened.

Cena returned to the company where he made his name this year for a retirement tour that saw him turn heel for the first time in his career, win an unprecedented 17th world title, and take on fellow superstars such as Randy Orton, AJ Styles and CM Punk one last time.

The Peackemaker star’s final opponent was two-time world champion Gunther, who had pledged to make Cena tap out during their showdown at Saturday Night’s Main Event this weekend.

And to the shock of the 19,000-plus fans at the Capital One Arena in Washington DC… that’s exactly what he did, as Cena’s glittering career ended with a loss by submission after Gunther locked him in a sleeper hold.

Following the event, Triple H sat down to speak on the official WWE post-show where he was loudly booed by fans watching on in the background, who chanted their disapproval.

“I’m actually mildly disappointed, I thought it would be so much louder,” Triple H joked to a chorus of jeers.

He continued: “There are time-honoured traditions in our business and there are ways that you handle your business. John has said the right thing his entire career, that it is about leaving this place better than you found it.

“There’s no way for people to understand that in the moment. But you do what is right for the business. You do what is right for this industry. John has done that his entire career, and I’m going to do that my entire career. I will do what I believe is right for this business.

“It just is what it is. I understand that’s tough for people to understand, but it’s part of what we do. That is the role we have chosen.”

Triple H concluded: “If you were to say, what will Cena do on his way out – take the emotion out of it and ask people, what will John Cena do? He will put over somebody on the way out. He will leave this better than he found it, he will go into the ring and he will make somebody on his way out. That’s what John does.”

Cena will next be seen on the big screen, with two films currently scheduled to release in 2026 – the long-delayed Looney Tunes live-action and animation hybrid Coyote vs Acme, and the action comedy Matchbox from Extraction director Sam Hargrave.

As for WWE, the Road to WrestleMania will soon begin in earnest, with Saturday Night’s Main Event returning next month, as well as the 2026 Royal Rumble, which takes place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the first time.

WWE is available to watch on Netflix in the UK and Ireland, including RAW, SmackDown, NXT, all Premium Live Events and the WWE archive.

You can sign up for Netflix from £5.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media.

Suspect arrested in shooting of ‘Last Chance U’ coach John Beam, Oakland police say

OAKLAND, Calif. — A suspect has been arrested in the shooting of college football coach John Beam, who was featured in the Netflix series “Last Chance U” and remains in critical condition after being shot on campus, the Oakland Police Department said Friday.

Suspect arrested in shooting of ‘Last Chance U’ coach John Beam, Oakland police say

Few other details were available. It was the second shooting in two days at a school in Oakland.

Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee described Beam as a “giant” and a mentor, educator and lifeline for young people.

“For over 40 years, he has shaped leaders on and off the field, and our community is shaken alongside his family,” Lee said.

The Netflix docuseries focused on athletes at junior colleges striving to turn their lives around, and Beam’s Laney College Eagles starred in the 2020 season.

Two of Beam’s former players — brothers Nahshon and Rejzohn Wright, now in the NFL with the Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints — posted on social media after the shooting.

“You mean the world to me,” Rejzohn Wright said in a post with a photo of Beam.

His brother shared a photo of the coach alongside a broken heart emoji.

Beam, currently serving as athletic director, joined Laney College in 2004 as a running backs coach and became head coach in 2012, winning two league titles. According to his biography on the college’s website, 20 of his players have gone on to the NFL.

“The Peralta community is devastated by his shooting and deeply concerned for his well-being. We are stunned and heartbroken that such violence has touched our campus,” Mark Johnson a spokesperson for Peralta Community College District said in an emailed statement on Beam’s current medical status.

Beam’s shooting came a day after a student was shot at Oakland’s Skyline High School. The student is in stable condition.

‘Last Chance U’s Coach John Beam Shot At Oakland’s Laney College

by jummy84 November 14, 2025
written by jummy84

John Beam, the Laney College athletic director featured on Netflix‘s Last Chance U, was shot on Thursday afternoon.

As of Thursday evening, a manhunt was underway for the man who shot Beam near the Oakland, California community college’s football field, hospitalizing Beam in critical condition and sending the school into lockdown.

Oakland PD’s Assistant Chief James Beere said a search was underway for a man of unknown ethnicity, wore all dark clothing and a black hoodie, according to a press conference shared by ABC News.

Local affiliate ABC7 reported that the lockdown was lifted at 1:15pm after police determined there was no longer an active shooter situation. Classes will resume Friday.

“A senior member of our athletic staff was shot on campus in the Laney Field House,” the school shared in a statement to multiple outlets. “The individual was immediately transported to a local hospital, and we are keeping them—and their loved ones—in our hearts during this incredibly difficult time. Out of respect for their privacy, we are not releasing their name at this moment.”

Featured with his team on the fifth and final season of Last Chance U in 2020, Beam has served as Laney College’s director of athletics since 2006, and head football coach since 2012.

WWE icon John Cena overcome with ‘disbelief and appreciation’ after final hometown show

12 November 2025

John Cena felt “grateful disbelief and appreciation” after wrestling in his hometown for the last time.

John Cena wrestled in front of a hometown crowd for the last time

On Monday’s (10.11.25) episode of WWE Raw on Netflix, the star had his final match in Boston just weeks before his retirement bout takes place at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13.

The 48-year-old actor – who grew up nearby in West Newbury, defeated Dominik Mysterio, 28, to win the Intercontinental Championship for the first time in his 23-year career.

Alongside a clip of him celebrating, he wrote on X: “Thank you Boston. It meant so much to be able, for one last time, to be allowed an opportunity to do what I love, in a place I love, surrounded by those I love.

“Our performances are only meaningful if YOU the audience invest in us and decide they are.

“The smile on my face and awe in my eyes in this small clip is an honest show of grateful disbelief and appreciation for all you’ve ever invested in me.

“Last night meant more than I can ever express. Thank you Boston.”

Cena became a legend in professional wrestling before making the jump to Hollywood, and this year he has embarked on a farewell tour before his career comes to an end.

In July, a press release announcing a new deal between WWE and Peacock, NBC Sports confirmed: “Saturday Night’s Main Event on Dec. 13 will feature John Cena in his retirement match.”

Cena’s final opponent is currently unknown, with a 16-man tournament being held on WWE programming to determine his last rival.

He previously admitted his age is one of the reasons he’ll be retiring in four month’s time.

He told PEOPLE magazine: “Age plays a factor. I’m not as strong or as fast as I used to be.

“I made a promise when I started gaining some notoriety that when I’m a step slower, I will go, because there will be kids just as hungry as I was who have earned a shot to see if they can make it.”

Charli XCX Teams Up With John Cale in Trippy ‘House’ Video: Watch

by jummy84 November 10, 2025
written by jummy84

Charli XCX has teamed up with Velvet Underground’s John Cale to create a trippy video for their new collaborative song “House,” which will appear on the soundtrack to director Emerald Fennell’s upcoming big screen adaptation of Wuthering Heights.

The idea was sparked a few years back when Charli saw the the 2021 Todd Haynes documentary The Velvet Underground. “One thing that stuck with me was how John Cale described a key sonic requirement of the Velvet Underground,” she wrote in a note to fans. “That any song had to be both ‘elegant and brutal.’ I got really stuck on that phrase. I write it down on my notes app and would pull it up from time to time and think about what he meant.”

“When working on music for this film, ‘elegant and brutal’ was a phrase I kept coming back to,” she continued. “One day whilst on tour in Austin, Finn [Keane] and I went to the studio and wrote the bones for a song that would eventually become House. When the summer ended I was still ruminating on John’s words. So I decided to reach out to him to get his opinion on the songs that his phrase had so deeply inspired, but also to see whether he might want to collaborate on any.”

They wound up chatting on the phone, and Charli sent over several songs, including her initial take on “House.” “We spoke about the idea of a poem,” she added. “He recorded something and sent it to me. Something that only John could do. And it was… well, it made my cry.”

The unsettling video shows Charli and Cale isolated together in a remote house, creating the vibe of a horror movie. It includes a spoken-word poem by Cale. “Can I speak to you privately for a moment,” he says. “I just want to explain/Explain the circumstances I find myself in/What and who I really am/I’m a prisoner/To live for eternity.”

“House” is one of several Charli XCX songs that will appear on the Wuthering Heights soundtrack. The project began a year ago when Fennell reached out to see if she’d write a single song for the movie, which stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi.

Trending Stories

“I read the script and immediately felt inspired so Finn Keane and I began working on not just one but many songs that we felt connected to the world she was creating,” Charli wrote. “After being so in the depths of my previous album I was excited to escape into something entirely new, entirely opposite. When I think of Wuthering Heights I think of many things. I think of passion and pain. I think of England. I think of the Moors, I think of the mud and the cold. I think of determination and grit.”

The Wuthering Heights soundtrack is one of many projects that Charli XCX has in the works. She’s also star to star in Daniel Goldhaber’s Faces of Death, Gregg Araki’s I Want Your Sex, Cathy Yan’s The Gallerist, Julia Jackman’s 100 Nights of Hero, Romain Gavras’s Sacrifice, and Pete Ohs’s Erupcja.

John Oliver Bids Adieu To 'Deeply Weird' Eric Adams, Welcomes Mamdani

John Oliver Bids Adieu To ‘Deeply Weird’ Eric Adams, Welcomes Mamdani

by jummy84 November 10, 2025
written by jummy84

Last Week Tonight honored its native New York City as John Oliver conducted an audit of Eric Adams‘s scandal-ridden mayoralty — and welcomed recently minted mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, an introduction that led to resounding cheers from the live audience.

As Oliver discussed Mamdani’s triumphant speech — which he characterized as an “entirely earned victory lap” and “pretty satisfying” — he noted that some, such as CNN’s Van Jones, critiqued the words as “sharp” and a “character switch.”

“He just weathered one of the most Islamophobic campaigns in recent memory,” the late-night host countered. “‘I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private live’ is a frankly superhuman level of grace to extend to a man who has yet to pronounce your name correctly once.”

After concluding his story for the night — on how America’s singular felony murder laws exacerbate mass incarceration — Oliver returned to the topic of his show’s home city, delivering a eulogy of sorts for the outgoing Adams administration, scheduled to depart Jan. 1.

Calling the leadup to the NYC mayoral election “truly insane from start to finish” — as best exemplified by a viral debate question concerning parades — Oliver mulled over the fact that one local news segment couldn’t locate a single resident to express disappointment in Adams dropping out of the race.

“They couldn’t find anyone! This city has 8 million people. I’m a 1000% sure I could find someone who would vote for a pigeon fucking a bagel in Central Park, but no takers for Eric Adams — that has got to hurt,” he quipped.

In offering “one last look at Eric Adams because he is a deeply weird man,” the political comic paid homage to Adams’s amusing flag-raising ceremonies, in which he has repeatedly stated that New York is the [insert given nation’s capital city] of America.

Though Adams began as a popular candidate with an over 60% approval rating, his stats dropped over 40% in the span of two years. Oliver outlined “the true hallmark of the Adams administration was its constant scandals,” going over a laundry list of corruption, bribery and conspiracy charges faced by a number of admin officials.

“This is a great city, but that is not because of you [Adams] and sometimes it is in active spite of you,” Oliver concluded. “You know, if I could sum up Eric Adams’s mayoralty in one word, it’d probably be: New York, because this is a place where every day you wake up you can experience a plane crashing into our Trade Center, to a fake vegan, non-Alabaman leaving a ghost-filled Gracie Mansion to lecture all of us on family, business, public safety and, of course, clitoral stimulation.”

And though Oliver made sure to include the “soundbite bonanza” that was Republican Curtis Sliwa’s campaign — from his anecdotes about his historical clashes with organized crime to his shots at Andrew Cuomo — the host did forget one gem from the Adams administration: his much-memed, bizarre anti-drug PSA video.

Elton John Sings “God Only Knows” in Tribute to Brian Wilson: Watch

by jummy84 November 9, 2025
written by jummy84

Elton John delivered a lovely tribute performance in honor of the late Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson during the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony.

John spoke before the performance, recalling, “In 1970 when I first came to Los Angeles, Danny Hutton from Three Dog Night took me and Bernie Taupin around to meet Brian Wilson — and I was scared shitless. Because he was my idol, my biggest influence when it came to writing songs on the piano.”

Unfortunately, Elton didn’t play piano during the tribute, but he did sing “God Only Knows.” Behind him was a band that featured Don Was on standup bass and one of the greatest drummers of all time Kenny Aronoff.

Wilson passed away on June 11th, 2025, at the age of 82. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Beach Boys in 1988.

John also previously paid tribute to Wilson in the immediate aftermath of hisDon  passing, writing in a post to Instagram, Brian “Wilson was always so kind to me from the day I met him. He sang ‘Someone Saved My Life Tonight’ at a tribute concert in 2003, and it was an extraordinary moment for me. I played on his solo records, he sang on my album, The Union, and even performed for my AIDS Foundation.”

“I grew to love him as a person, and for me, he was the biggest influence on my songwriting ever; he was a musical genius and revolutionary,” John added. “He changed the goalposts when it came to writing songs and shaped music forever. A true giant.”

Charli xcx, John Cale Team For ‘Wuthering Heights’

by jummy84 November 7, 2025
written by jummy84

Charli xcx has let the cat out of the bag regarding her contributions to the upcoming remake of Wuthering Heights, for which her songs will also double as her next album. The first single from the project is “House” featuring 83-year-old Velvet Underground co-founder John Cale, which will be out Monday (Nov. 10). The film, which stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, hits theaters on Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14),

“I got a call from Emerald Fennell last Christmas asking whether I would consider working on a song for her adaptation of Wuthering Heights,” Charli wrote on Instagram. “I read the script and immediately felt inspired, so Finn Keane and I began working on not just one but many songs that we felt connected to the world she was creating. After being so in the depths of my previous album [2024’s massive hit brat], I was excited to escape into something entirely new, entirely opposite.”

The artist had separately become “really taken” with Todd Haynes’ 2021 self-titled Velvet Underground documentary and said she kept coming back to a phrase uttered therein by Cale: “any song has to be both elegant and brutal.” “I got really stuck on that phrase. I wrote it down in my Notes app and would pull it up from time to time and think about what he meant,” she recalled.

The opportunity to set it to music came in late April when Charli was on tour in Austin, Texas. “Finn and I went to the studio and wrote the bones for a song that would eventually become ‘House.’ When the summer ended, I was still ruminating on John’s words. So, I decided to reach out to him to get his opinion on the songs that his phrase had so deeply inspired, but also to see whether he might want to collaborate on any,” she said.

After the pair spoke on the phone (“wow … that voice, so elegant, so brutal”), Charli sent Cale sone of the songs. “We started talking specifically about ‘House.’ We spoke about the idea of a poem. He recorded something and sent it to me. Something that only John could do. And it was … well, it made me cry.”

Wuthering Heights is the first of several high-profile film projects in the works for Charli, led by the A24 film The Moment, which is based on her original idea by Charli and will also star the U.K. pop maven. It will feature Alexander Skarsgård, Rosanna Arquette, Jamie Demetriou, Kylie Jenner, Rachel Sennott, Kate Berlant, Arielle Dombasle and Hailey Benton Gates and is due in theaters next year.

She has additional acting roles in Cathy Yan’s The Gallerist, Gregg Araki’s I Want Your Sex and a remake of the 1978 schlock horror classic Faces of Death.

Dave Navarro looks back on “backlash” to replacing John Frusciante in Red Hot Chili Peppers and the “disconnect” he felt from the band

by jummy84 November 4, 2025
written by jummy84

Former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Dave Navarro has looked back on his time with the band and the backlash that followed when he replaced John Frusciante.

Frusciante departed the band in 1992 and Navarro, who had left Jane’s Addiction when they broke up the year before, stepped in. He only recorded one album with the band, ‘One Hot Minute’, and it failed to be as successful as their previous studio album, 1991’s ‘Blood Sugar Sex Magik’.

In April 1998, the band announced Navarro’s departure, and Frusciante rejoined the same month. He left again in 2009, before rejoining a decade later. With Frusciante back in the band, they had a run of successful albums including ‘Californication’, ‘By The Way’ and ‘Stadium Arcadium’, and Navarro has admitted in a recent interview with Guitar World that he felt out of place in the band.

“Whatever magic John brought to the Chili Peppers, I didn’t have that style of magic,” he said, describing himself as a “goth kid in a funk band”.

He explained: “If you had to narrow down what the disconnect was, I’d say that would be it … It became clear pretty fast that as much as we tried and as much as we wanted it to work, we weren’t coming from the same musical place.

“The best way I can describe it is that I was in a cover band with the actual band. And that’s a very strange place to be – especially with the clashing of styles.”

Navarro addressed the reaction he received from “diehard fans”, explaining, “There was a lot of backlash from the fanbase because I was filling John’s role.”

He continued, “I always found it odd that any of that was directed at me. I was like, ‘Well, if you don’t like me being here, you can blame them. I didn’t force myself into this, they asked me. All I did was say yes.’”

He said the lukewarm reception ‘One Hot Minute’ received impacted everyone in the band, but that he was “feeling the brunt” of the question marks over the album’s direction. But despite that, he described it as the “most successful record” he’d ever played on, so it felt like a win for him personally but a failure for the rest of the band.

Navarro and Frusciante, meanwhile, teamed up together in 2020 to play Jane’s Addiction’s ‘Mountain Song’ at a memorial show to honour Andrew Burkle. The following year, Navarro joined Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis to cover Lou Reed’s ‘Walk On The Wild Side’ as part of Navarro’s Above Ground charity concert to raise awareness and funds for mental health for people in the music industry under the MusiCares programme. It marked the first time the pair had performed together since Navarro left the band.

As for Jane’s Addiction, however, Navarro said earlier this year that there’s “no chance” they’ll ever play together again. Last year, the band’s classic line-up of Navarro, Perry Farrell, Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins performed together for the first time since 2010, and they released their first new music together in 34 years, but the comeback ended abruptly after frontman Farrell punched Navarro onstage in a show in Boston.

At the time, they announced an immediate hiatus, cancelling the rest of the tour, and Navarro told Guitar Player earlier this year, “There was an altercation onstage, and all the hard work and dedication and writing and hours in the studio, and picking up and leaving home and crisscrossing the country and Europe and trying to overcome my illness — it all came to a screeching halt and forever destroyed the band’s life.

“And there’s no chance for the band to ever play together again. I have to say that’s my least favourite gig, without throwing animosity around, and without naming names and pointing fingers, and coming up with reasons.”

In July, Navarro, Avery and Perkins filed a lawsuit against Farrell over the fallout from the tour, and in September, Farrell responded with a legal filing of his own, denying “each and every allegation”.
