John Cena Makes Surprise Appearance At WWE Performance Center
John Cena made an appearance yesterday at WWE’s Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. Both Blake Monroe and Izzi Dame shared photos on Twitter of them standing next to Cena in the PC, and he apparently shared his knowledge and gave advice to those who were training there that day.
WWE Strips Seth Rollins Of World Heavyweight Title
Seth Rollins has been stripped of his WWE World Heavyweight Championship due to his shoulder injury. It was explained in kayfabe that The Vision’s attack on Rollins last week is why he is out injured, and he required surgery due to the attack, which forced WWE to vacate the title. A Battle Royal was held later that night to determine who would face CM Punk at Saturday Night’s Main Event for the vacant title.

And the winner of that Battle Royal was none other than former World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso. Uso outlasted 15 other opponents and last eliminated Dominik Mysterio to secure his spot in the match at SNME on November 1.
New World Tag Team Champions Crowned On WWE Monday Night Raw
Also, last night on Raw, AJ Styles and Dragon Lee challenged Finn Balor and JD McDonagh for the World Tag Team Championship and came up victorious. The end of the match saw Balor hit a Coup de Grace on Styles, but Lee broke up the pin and threw McDonagh out of the ring. Balor then attempted to hit a Styles Clash on Styles, but Styles reversed it and delivered his own Styles Clash to get the win and the titles.
