Backstage News on John Cena’s WrestleMania 33 Match Following Title Win, Speculation on Shane McMahon Wrestling at ‘Mania, More

January 31, 2017

According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, the impression currently being given is that John Cena’s WrestleMania 33 match “wouldn’t be celebrated” (meaning a title likely will not be on the line) and that it’s “not necessarily good news.”

As noted, Cena will defend the WWE Title inside the Elimination Chamber in two weeks at the WWE Elimination Chamber PPV. Bray Wyatt is rumored to win that match to set up Wyatt vs. Royal Rumble winner Randy Orton at WrestleMania 33 but that has not been confirmed.

Speculation has also been that Shane McMahon will be wrestling at WrestleMania, and his rumored opponent is AJ Styles. While that match has yet to be confirmed, it has been discussed by WWE officials and is still on the table.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
