Part-time WWE Superstar John Cena appeared on Andy Cohen’s “Watch What Happens Live” and revealed a lot of information …. some of it you may not want to even read!
Cena was asked if he’d ever had an “accidental boner” in the ring and replied with the following,
“It’s something the body does, you just ignore it,” Cena said to laughter from the audience. Just ignore it. It’s what the body does. You can’t be blamed for that.”
Some of the fan questions included the following:
On if it’s true he spends up to 30 minutes a day shaving body hair:“No, some days it’s more. There’s a lot of body. Hair will grow almost anywhere.”
On if he’ll ever leave WWE for good:“That’s a tough question ’cause I don’t think I’ll ever be disconnected from the WWE. I think whether it’s an on-camera role or an off-camera role, I don’t think the word ‘retire,’ I’ll ever use that. So I know that time is limited because it’s a physical, performance-based thing, and I’m 42. So I know that window is kind of coming to a close, but I don’t think I’ll ever be retired. I would love to be able to pass on the knowledge and wisdom that I have about live performances to up-and-comers and hopefully help people out.”
On the “most swoon-worthy thing” about The Rock:“His perspective on life and his ability to constantly give back.”
On what movie always makes him cry:“The Truman Show.”
Cardi B took to Twitter to share her love of the WWE and she even named her favorite wrestlers as, Eddie Guerrero, Booker T, Lita, Batista, Triple H, and Edge.
After naming her wrestling faves many WWE wrestlers chimed in with their love of Cardi B including Booker T, “I can dig that! Appreciate the love,” the legendary wrestler responded to Cardi.
Female wrestlers Dana Brooke and Carmella also showed love to Cardi by posting an outfit Carmella wore in the ring in Cardi’s honor and Brooke’s request for a song remix, Ok girllll!!! Do a remix “I lie, I cheat, I steal “ – only you can get it done!” Brooke tweeted.
PORTO, Portugal (AP) — Portugal has won the inaugural UEFA Nations League tournament, beating the Netherlands 1-0 in Sunday’s final for its second title in three years.
Gonçalo Guedes scored the winner early in the second half to give Portugal its first trophy since the 2016 European Championship.
The hosts’ victory in UEFA’s newest competition denied the Netherlands its first trophy since the 1988 European Championship. The revamped Dutch team was seeking some redemption after failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup and the 2016 European Championship.
Cristiano Ronaldo, coming off a hat trick in the semifinals, wasn’t much of a factor against Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk in the matchup of likely contenders for the player of the year award, but Guedes couldn’t be stopped when he hit a powerful right-footed shot from outside the area in the 60th minute at the Estádio do Dragão.
The world’s richest people aren’t just getting richer, they’re also ever more surprising. Yesterday, Forbes published its annual rich list and announced that there is a new category — the billionaire rapper.
Jay-Z, 49-year-old husband of pop starBeyonce, grew up in a grim, violence-ravaged housing project in Brooklyn. Shawn Carter — to give him his real name — shot his brother when he was 12 and was dealing crack cocaine by the age of 13. He seemed destined for a life of crime and prison. Instead, he is now feted by U.S. presidents and business moguls.
His commercial empire spans not only music but champagne and cognac, and a large stake in the taxi serviceUber.
But arguably his biggest success is in convincing his army of fans — and the businesses that shower him with money for the chance to use his name — that he’s still got ‘street cred’.
Cocooned in a world of extraordinary luxury and, some would say, obscenely lavish spending, he and his wife are as unashamedly capitalist as any Wall Street tycoon. And yet those who rail against the greed of the super-rich curiously never criticise Jay-Z and Beyonce, whose combined wealth Forbes puts at $1.4 billion (£1.1billion).
Here’s how the rapper rose from drug dealer to billionaire . . .
‘Few make it out of my neighbouhood alive’
The child of a broken home, Jay-Z and his three siblings were raised in poverty by their mother in the downtrodden Bedford-Stuyvesant neighbourhood of Brooklyn.
According to his mother, Gloria, Shawn (pictured below as a child), used to wake up his siblings at night banging out drum patterns on the kitchen table.
Music, he says, helped him survive after his father, who had turned to drugs and left the family, was fatally stabbed when Jay-Z was 11.
He says he was ‘torn apart’ and, aged 12, he shot his 16-year-old brother in the shoulder for stealing a ring.
‘I thought my life was over,’ he says. ‘I thought I’d go to jail for ever.’ His brother didn’t press charges. Jay-Z insists he never shot anyone else but says ‘guns were everywhere’.
He added: ‘There are very few people from my neighbourhood that make it out. Forget about being successful, I mean make it out alive.’
He stabbed a man in a nightclub
Some billionaires try to gloss over any unsavoury past but Jay-Z has managed to mythologise his. The cocky bad boy king of rap relishes in his ugly past and still talks it up in his lyrics.
He says he was dealing crack cocaine from the age of 13.
He told Oprah Winfrey: ‘It was normal. And at some point you become addicted to the feeling. The uncertainty and adrenaline and danger of that lifestyle.’
He was shot at three times but was unscathed. ‘It’s like there was some rogue angel watching over us,’ he said.
The drug dealing taught him about making money, he claims. ‘I mean, I know about budgets,’ he once bragged.
Carter’s criminal past isn’t just limited to teenage drug deals however. In December 1999, he stabbed a record producer in a New York nightclub in a row over alleged bootlegging. He was sentenced to three years probation.
Teacher turned Jay-Z onto music
Jay-Z credits a school teacher, Miss Lowden, for encouraging his love of music when he was 11. He remembers visiting her home with his class and being particularly impressed by the ice machine on her fridge.
‘I saw a whole different world that day, and my imagination grew from there,’ he says. ‘I wanted that. I aspired to have that.’ The ever entrepreneurial Jay-Z started selling CDs of his music out of his car, and set up his own record label to get his first album released in 1996 after the major companies turned him down. He was 26.
One of the best-selling artists of all time, with more than 100 million record sales, he has notched up 14 No 1 albums (more even than Elvis) and 22 Grammy awards. Forbes estimates his music catalogue accounts for £60 million of his fortune.
Aware his name carries enormous commercial weight, the entrepreneurial rapper has his fingers in many, many pies.
He’s produced films and video games, co-founded a basketball team, designed watches, and launched his own ranges of cigars and fragrances.
Fond of saying he’s ‘not a businessman but a business, man’, analysts praise Jay-Z’s strategy to own companies rather than just licence his name. In 1999, he launched a clothing range, Rocawear, which he sold for £160 million in 2007.
But his most valuable business asset — far more lucrative than his music — is the Armand de Brignac champagne house he bought in 2014. Its distinctive gold-coloured bottles with an Ace of Spades logo is tailor-made for flashy rappers (Jay-Z first featured a bottle in a 2006 music video). An ordinary bottle retails for £235 but a giant, 30-litre bottle can sell for more than £160,000.
Forbes says Jay-Z’s stake in the champagne house is worth £245 million.
It estimates his D’Ussé cognac — a joint venture with drinks giant Bacardi — is worth £80 million.
Forbes puts the same price tag on his music streaming service, Tidal. Other gems in the Jay-Z empire include Roc Nation, his wide-ranging entertainment company, (worth £59 millon, says Forbes) and an art collection valued at £55 million. The canny performer raps about his assets, such as paintings by Jean-Michel Basquiat, ramping up their value.
His £173 million portfolio includes a £1.5 million stake in Uber in 2013 that is now worth £55 million.
Spent £390,000 on a nursery
Long gone (except in his songs) are his miserable days in a Brooklyn rathole.
After having twins in 2017, a son, Sir, and daughter, Rumi — siblings for their eldest daughter, Blue Ivy, seven — Jay-Z and Beyonce bought matching new homes.
These were a £20 million beachside mansion outside New York in The Hamptons and a £70 million hilltop estate in Bel Air, Los Angeles (below left). Jay-Z already owns a penthouse in Manhattan’s expensive Tribeca neighbourhood which will be worth far more than the £5.5 million he paid for it in 2004.
The LA home is vast — eight-bedrooms, four-swimming pools and bullet-proof glass throughout — and was built by the same company that revamped Claridge’s hotel in London. The couple reportedly spent £390,000 on a lavish nursery which included a £40,000 sound system.
£13,000 on 3kg of truffles
Anything he touches tends to turn to gold. Cristal champagne, Hennessy cognac and even the Mercedes Maybach are among ‘luxury brands’ that have seen sales soar after the rapper patronised them.
White truffle traders in Italy were ecstatic when Jay-Z took a few friends there, shelling out £13,000 on three kilos of them.
Trademark bid on baby’s name
Almost the first thing Jay-Z and Beyonce did after the birth of daughter Blue Ivy in 2012 was to try to trademark her name.
In their application, their list of intended use of the name included video games, plastic flags, baby bathtubs, books, movies and jewellery.
The couple already have a gym clothing range called Ivy Park, and there are reportedly plans for a Blue Ivy cosmetics range.
Obama says he’s a role model
Barack Obama is among many who have lavished praise on Jay-Z and his wife as great role models for young African-Americans. (The blasé rapper once revealed President Obama repeatedly invited him to the White House but he was too busy).
However, Jay-Z’s reputation as one half of showbusiness’s most treasured couple, and a dutiful family man, took a knock in 2014 when a video emerged of Beyonce’s sister, Solange, attacking him in a lift — reportedly over his infidelity. Two years later, Beyonce referenced his cheating in a song.
He later admitted he had been unfaithful. Claiming he didn’t have the ’emotional tools’ required for a marriage, he said he was working to get them through therapy and his wife’s support.
The rappers are raking it in
Jay-Z may be the richest but he’s hardly the only multi-millionaire rapper.
Forbes estimates at least seven are worth more than £158 million, including Kanye West — Trump-supporting husband of reality star Kim Kardashian, Dr Dre (whose Beats range of headphones and speakers was bought by Apple for £2.4 billion) and Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs, snapping at Jay-Z’s heels with a fortune estimated at £675 million.
Ronda Rousey’s dominance of WWE Raw’s women’s division throughout 2018 certainly managed to split opinion among fans about whether she was a positive or negative influence on the company. However, with Rousey now away from TV and her future uncertain, there’s no doubting her absence has had a detrimental impact on the company in the present day.
Rousey’s long run with the Raw Women’s Championship, as well as a huge undefeated streak in WWE, created a storyline that eventually reached its conclusion at WrestleMania. It worked perfectly for Becky Lynch’s rise to stardom, because it created a target for Lynch as she aimed to ascend to the top of the company.
Without Rousey now, the entire division is in a real state of flux.
So much emphasis was placed on Rousey throughout her run, that it resulted in a lot of the focus moving away from other wrestlers. Asuka’s star faded, as one such example, while Rousey dominated.
That means that with Rousey now gone, WWE has to push unproven or unused talent into the main event scene as quickly as possible. Lacey Evans and Bayley, who have both wrestled for or won titles since Mania, are further examples.
They will both become top stars again before too long, but it won’t happen overnight. WWE has lost its top attraction in Rousey who could have held the entire division together while WWE was busy building up its next top female stars.
Rousey’s absence also understandably created a huge buzz around WWE given her credibility and profile in another sport. That sort of reputation is priceless for a company like WWE, and it was obvious by the way the company instantly pushed Rousey that she brought significant interest to the company with her.
That interest has probably now completely gone. It feels like with Charlotte Flair feuding for a world title again as the main attraction, the company has reverted to type with its women’s division. That can’t be a good thing for a company who now has a major rival on the scene in the shape of All Elite Wrestling.
How WWE fixes this in the short-term will be interesting. There is an abundance of talent on the women’s roster but in truth, the same names, like Flair, keep feuding for the belts over and over again. Without its top draw anymore, the company would be wise to start investing its time in competitors like Kairi Sane and Ember Moon, both of whom could become bonafide top stars of the future.
Rousey will perhaps return at some point, and WWE may believe that her doing so makes all of their problems go away. But if she leaves all over again, the company has to make sure it is better prepared to deal with her absence.
This time around, Rousey not being on TV has had a damaging impact on the entire division. How WWE fixes that will be fascinating to observe as a spectator.

Want to know how Iget free Instagram likesfor my page? What I’m about to reveal to you is little known by most and will totally blow your mind when you realize just how easy it is toget free Instagram likes.
But i took one good look at it and i saw power! I saw the power to give over 14,000 people all over the world who search Google every month for how to get free Instagram likes. I saw the power to hold you all by the balls (literally) and bring you to my blog to learn how you too can acquire this power for yourselves.
Using this app, i can simply type out how many likes i want on a particular post, say 500, and VOILA! Within 3 mins or so they appear!
Are you ready to know the app I’m referring to? Is your appetite psyched up enough to discover this hidden secret? The real question here is have i made you wait long enough to hear it?
I’ll give you some clues (let’s make this fun people! Where’s your spirit of adventure?): For starters the app is on Play Store…but it’s not on the Apple store (What a bummer. i wonder whose fault that is.)
It starts with the letter “N” and ends with the letter “O”.
Any guesses from the readers?
Should i end this post right here and now and make you guess and guess and guess? Don’t worry, i don’t take pleasure in your long suffering (or do i?).
The name of the app is Neutrino.
How to get free Instagram likes using the Neutrino app.
I have sweet news for everyone reading this right now, and it’s that Neutrino is not just an app for free Instagram likes, you can also get free Instagram followers in tens of thousands from it but our main stay today isn’t followers. I guess I’ll write a separate and detailed post about that another time.
Now let me work you through the step by step process of getting what we all came here for using screenshots from the app itself as i use it.
Step 1: Download Neutrino apk
For some unknown reason, the app has been removed from Playstore for a while now without reason. However, you can still download the .apk fileat their official site. Install on your Android phone, enter your IG login details (don’t worry, it’s absolutely safe) and follow me to the next step.
Step 2: Understanding the Neutrino dashboard.
I have taken the liberty of numbering the most important sections of the dashboard of the app for your easy navigation.
Number 1 – Crystals: This is the currency of the app. You earn or buy crystals to be able to get free Instagram likes or followers as the case may be.
Number 2 – Update profile: Click this button to refresh your IG profile.
Number 3 – Daily Bonus: Every 24hrs, the app will gift you 30 crystals free.
Number 4 – Energy: Your energy level must be positive at all times or else, your crystals will be rendered useless. As you follow others in the app, you increase your energy levels. The fastest way to lose it is to un follow them.
Number 5 – Boost: Buy more crystals and energy here if you’re the impatient money bag.
Number 6 – Your Instagram posts: When you click here, you see all your IG posts in a 3 x 3 grid layout. It’s here all the fun takes place. We’ll get to that in a bit.
Number 7 – Orders: When you set your free IG likes in motion, it is termed as “an order” and all orders appear in number 7 as either “in progress” “complete” or “invalid/failed”.
Number 8 – Followers: It’s via this tab you get free Instagram followers (Perish that joy that just sprung up in your heart a second ago. We’re not here for that.)
Number 9 – Buy, buy, buy: This is virtually the same as Number 5.
Number 10 – Earn crystals: Click the button and follow the instructions to mine crystals.
Step 3: The process of getting your 50 free Instagram likes daily, free likes on Instagram pictures instantly.
– Go back to Number 6 on the dashboard where you can find your posts.
– Click on whichsoever post you want to boost.
– You’ll see a small pop-up that allows you toggle between varying number of likes. You can choose 1 million likes per post if you want. It all depends on how much crystals you have. For this demonstration, I’ll be attempting to boost by 90 likes. As you can see, my crystals are low.
– Next, an Order is created in the tab beside your post tab where you can monitor the status of your free likes. Even as it loads, if you refresh the app, you will see your likes on that post increase.
– Finally, your free likes appear!
After boost = 101 likes

WWE’s new 24/7 Title is quite interesting. It is like the Hardcore Title in a lot of ways, only since it is 2019 and the title can also be defended at any time of the day thanks to social media.
R-Truth was just trying to enjoy some golfing, but there was no where to hide when Jinder Mahal came around. The Modern Day Maharaja was after the 24/7 Title and he came prepared with a referee in tow.
Carmella had no idea that R-Truth even golfed, but Truth said it’s all about relaxation and clearing his mind. He’s been running, but now he needs to breath.
Suddenly, Mahal jumped Truth while wearing full ring gear and a referee in full uniform soon followed. Mahal rolled Truth up and won the 24/7 Title. Then Ron Killings immediately rolled Mahal up and got his title back.
So R-Truth is still the WWE 24/7 Champion, but you never know when that could change.
