John Cena famously wrestles in jorts and though the world has changed in style, Cena has stayed true to his jort life. "I do. I wear jorts often. I also wear suits often. I enjoy a suit. The jorts are more for work. I’ve been wearing them for over 20 years. It started as a way to help define my character. It was a character based in hip hop culture and hip hop fashion. Way back, 20 years ago, was the end of the large baggy jean short era. I’ve tried many other forms of shorts. I always like to wrestle in street clothes because I think it sets me apart from other performers and helps people attach to the personality. Cargo shorts and any other material except denim rip. We run a family program. For young folks to see the ugly bits too soon is just not a way to grow up," Cena said on WIRED when answering the most Googled questions.

UPDATE:  Afa Anoa’i sadly died on Friday. On Thursday evening, wrestling fans were heartbroken after Dave Meltzer reported on X that WWE Hall of Famer Afa Anoaʻi had passed away.

He was seen in a walking boot in the days after the show while no one had a clear answer on what was in store for him in the immediate future. This is noteworthy considering Roman Reigns made his return the every evening Fatu got hurt. To that end, there’s good news. Fatu, although still in the boot, sure seems okay to me: That’s from Friday Night SmackDown...
