John Cena visits WWE Performance Center

The WWE Performance Center got a visit today from one of the most popular stars in company history.

John Cena was at the Performance Center on Monday, as seen in pictures posted by Blake Monroe and Izzi Dame on social media. An account for The CW Network shared Monroe’s post and called it “very interesting” that Cena was at the PC — though there is no confirmation if that’s teasing an NXT TV appearance for Cena.

“Always a blessing and such an inspiration getting to sit with John and pick his brain about our business,” Dame wrote in her post. “Grateful for the wisdom and perspective every time!”

Cena — who recently defeated AJ Styles at Crown Jewel: Perth — does not have a WWE appearance announced until the November 10 episode of Raw in Boston. After that, his retirement tour only has three more stops: Raw in New York City (November 17), Survivor Series in San Diego (November 29), and Saturday Night’s Main Event in Washington, D.C. (December 13).

Tuesday’s NXT episode is taking place at the Performance Center and is the go-home show for Halloween Havoc.

Tony Khan Visits Kota Ibushi In The Hospital After Femur Surgery

AEW President Tony Khan made sure to visit Kota Ibushi in the hospital as the Japanese star continues to recover from broken femur surgery. On Instagram, Ibushi was grateful that Khan took the time to see him in the hospital, though was somewhat embarrassed that Khan had to see him this way.

“The boss came around alone and everyone was surprised, and I was surprised in the first place. You don’t usually show up like this, why do you do all that?”

Ibushi was stretchered out of the latest taping of AEW Collision, and later confirmed on social media that he was dealing with a broken femur. After the taping, Khan appeared in front of the crowd and expressed his appreciation for Ibushi.

In a previous post, Ibushi shared that he could be out of action for over a year and reflected on dealing with injuries and setbacks for years. Kota went as far as to say that another setback like this will leave him living like a normal person, seemingly indicating a potential retirement from wrestling.

Ibushi signed a new contract with AEW in August 2025 after a near-two-year hiatus from the company. While Ibushi won’t be wrestling anytime soon, he clearly has the support of all of AEW on his side.

Tigers ace Tarik Skubal visits David Fry in the hospital after fastball fractures Guardians DH’s face

It appears Cleveland Guardians designated hitter David Fry is going to be OK, though he’s going to need 6-8 weeks to recover after taking a foul-tipped 99 mph fastball to the face.

The pitcher who threw that fastball, Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal, was visibly horrified after seeing where his pitch ended up during Tuesday’s game. Fry immediately fell to the ground and was bleeding before being carted off the field and taken to a hospital.

As he revealed to reporters Wednesday, Skubal was concerned enough that he hitched a ride from Guardians manager Stephen Vogt to visit Fry in the hospital Tuesday night. A group of Guardians players also reportedly made the trip.

The Guardians released a statement Wednesday revealing that Fry sustained “multiple, minimally displaced, left-sided facial and nasal fractures” from the pitch. He has already been discharged from the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery with no surgery needed.

Skubal’s visit is a nice reminder that a tense and potentially historic division race doesn’t mean players can’t be human beings toward one another.

Wednesday’s game was the opener of a three-game Tigers-Guardians series that could very well decide the AL Central. The Tigers were once as many as 15.5 games ahead of the Guardians in the division race and still led by 9.5 games as recently Sept. 10, but Cleveland has reeled off a stretch of 15 wins in 16 games while Detroit has lost 10 of its past 11 games.

The Guardians led the division by one game after Wednesday, with the head-to-head tiebreaker. If they finish the job and win the AL Central, it will be the largest comeback in the standings in MLB history.

Skubal has been far from a problem for Detroit during its free fall, as he is heavily favored to take home a second straight AL Cy Young Award. He currently leads the AL in ERA (2.21), FIP (2.46), WHIP (0.891) and strikeout-to-walk ratio (7.30) with 195 1/3 innings pitched across 31 starts.
