Deadline.com reports that WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena will be starring in Tina Fey & Amy Poehler's comedy movie The Nest, about two sisters who throw one last party in their parents’ soon-to-be-sold house. Cena will reportedly be playing a villain role.

In addition to Fey and Poehler, the movie will also star James Brolin, Ike Barinholtz, Maya Rudolph and John Leguizamo.

Rumor Mill - Triple H's "Plan B" Reference

As seen on last night's episode of Monday Night Raw, Triple H threatened John Cena by saying that he had a "Plan B", which prompted Seth Rollins to come out with the Money in the Bank briefcase behind Cena on the entrance ramp. Although it may have appeared as though Triple H was referring to Rollins and the MITB contract, it's being reported that Triple H's "Plan B" could turn out to be "The Beast" Brock Lesnar.

There's been a lot of speculation over the past few days that a Title match between Cena and Lesnar could eventually take place, possibly at SummerSlam.

WWE Diva Arrested for Shoplifting

WWE Diva Emma (Tenille Dashwood) was arrested in Hartford, CT last night, just a few miles outside of the location for Monday Night Raw. She was charged with 6th degree larceny – or, shoplifting in the amount of no more than $250.

According to a report by The Hartford Courant, Emma appeared in community court this afternoon, and according to her lawyer was told to do some sort of community service. The lawyer – Hubert Santon – also claims the shoplifting incident was a mistake, as the WWE star was using the automatic check-out system at Walmart, and accidentally forgot to pay for "a case for an electronic device."

WWE Issues Statement on Emma's Arrest

"WWE is aware that Tenille Dashwood (WWE Diva Emma) was arrested for shoplifting. Ms. Dashwood is ultimately responsible for her personal actions."

Stephanie McMahon Praised Backstage After Raw Segment

F4WOnline.com is reporting that Stephanie McMahon was praised backstage by many WWE officials. It was said to be somewhat of the second coming of Vince McMahon, with how she reacted in the Vickie Guerrero segment.

Stephanie McMahon Says WWE Is Just Getting Warmed Up, Talks Vince, Connor's Cure, BU

The WWE is set to make history at the Garden tomorrow night. A new champion will be crowned in the main event of the “Money in the Bank” pay per view production, but the night will stand out for another unique reason. It’s a homecoming for Stephanie McMahon.

The 37-year-old McMahon, WWE’s Chief Brand Officer, spent much of her childhood in South Yarmouth.

“I actually grew up on the Cape,” she said. “My parents owned the Cape Cod Coliseum, which was the sort of the beginning of the WWE as we know it today, so I’m happy to be home.”

McMahon fell in love with Boston, and like her brother Shane before her, decided to study communications at Boston University. Over the past 15 years, McMahon has perfected her role as an on-air character, where she plays an evil boss, and credits BU as a big reason for her success.

“From film production to television production to creative writing to public speaking to marketing to advertising,” she said, “BU is basically a school to help prepare you for all of the many facets of WWE.”

McMahon graduated from BU in 1998, and still remains connected to the school. She is a member of the Distinguished Alumni of the School of Communication, and had the opportunity to teach a master’s class — “Being Your Own Brand” — last year.

She learned first-hand how to build a brand from her parents, Vince and Linda McMahon. Together, they transformed WWE from a regional wrestling promotion to a sports entertainment juggernaut, a global brand broadcast in 150 countries in 650 million homes worldwide. As a fourth generation McMahon promoter, she touched on her father’s contributions to the business.

“My father coined the phrase, ‘sports entertainment,’” said McMahon. “Vince let the world in on that, yes, this is actually predetermined and, yes, we are having fun. He was the one who created this live action-adventure soap opera.”

But Stephanie McMahon has also paved her own road in the family business.

She and her husband, WWE executive vice president Paul Levesque — better known to wrestling fans as “Triple H” — just announced the creation of their new fund, “Connor’s Cure.” The fund was named in honor of the late Connor Michalek, a devoted WWE fan who died at the age of 8 as a result of brain cancer.

“This is all about developing and donating for pediatric brain and spinal cancer research,” said McMahon. “We’re trying to help fund the research to help stop the cancer.”

McMahon is the proud mother of three girls.

“My favorite title is, ‘Mom,’” she said. “It’s what I’ve always wanted to be most, ever since I was a little girl.”

In addition to pay per view, tomorrow’s “Money in the Bank” card can also be watched on the WWE Network. While McMahon is proud of the company’s accomplishments, she cannot wait to unveil the future of the business.

“WWE continues to grow and expand at a rate faster than anyone can possibly imagine,” she said. “We have over 360 million social media followers, and we have over 12 million downloads of our app. But I have to say, even given all that, we’re just getting warmed up.”

Ambrose not just Good, he's great

Jonathan Good may be living a charmed life in professional wrestling nowadays, but life wasn't always easy for the man better known as Dean Ambrose.

Good, who grew up in the area known as the East End in Cincinnati, is evasive when asked if he had a rough upbringing.

"Who doesn't have their own story?" he asked. "I grew up in Cincinnati, the east side of Cincinnati. I don't really have any kind of heartbreaking sob story, just a regular old lower class American upbringing."

Turning the focus away from his formative years and onto the beginnings of what could some day be a hall of fame wrestling career, he described his beginnings."I started wrestling when I was 16 and (I spent) a lot of years on the road and a lot of years wrestling in every bingo hall and armory and bar and night club imaginable to get here," Good said, referring to his current wrestling home, World Wrestling Entertainment. "I've travelled the entire world, put my body through a lot of abuse, (gaining) a lot of experience in becoming the guy I am today."

Then the focus turns back to his early life.

"Mine might be a little bit different than most people, but everybody's got their own story and that's what makes you the person that you are."

One thing Good is comfortable talking about when it comes to his youth is his lifelong love for pro wrestling.

"For me, wrestling was like an escape," he answered when asked about what his earliest memories of the business are...More?
