Welcome to another edition of the daily WWE Rumor Roundup where we try and bring you the biggest WWE news and rumors from the day.

Today, we bring you the big news on which Superstar Triple H put over by selling his left arm, the WWE Legend who called John Cena a 'wannabe', and also the big match that Cena should have lost back in 2015, as per a Hall of Famer.

All that and more but before we get to that, let us take a look at the top headline-makers of the day:


The Rock wants big WrestleMania match

The Rock has seemingly accepted Roman Reigns' challenge for a match at WrestleMania and now it is all up to WWE to make things happen. The People's Champion confirmed on his Instagram live that he was open to returning to face Reigns at the Show of Shows.

He also added that it was tough to turn down Vince McMahon and that could be a hint of things to come.

Is The Rock vs. Roman Reigns possibile? Yeah, I think anything is possible. Sure, of course. I'm always open and you know that's the cool thing about the world of professional wrestling. There is adaptability to wrestling and you know, you never say never in the world of pro wrestling.
You never say no with Vince McMahon, who has been one of my mentors in business for a very very long time and a very very close friend and confidant. Yeah, so you never so no. I think for something like that to happen, the venue would have to be right. I think the business model would have to be right (laughs). But I'm very close to Roman, that's family to me. We'll see.

WrestleMania 37 is set to take place in Los Angeles and there are already rumors about The Rock being a part of it.

The Undertaker ridiculed Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre has revealed that The Undertaker ridiculed his beard when he was growing it for the first time. The current WWE Champion was talking on Lilian Garcia’s Chasing Glory podcast when he narrated the hilarious story.

The Phenom was reportedly not having it with McIntyre's attempt at growing a beard and took a frankly hilarious dig at The Scottish Psychopath's attempt at growing a beard!

“When I tried to grow a beard for the first time, he said, ‘I’ve got more hair on my a** than you’ve got on your face, boy.’”

Another story McIntyre revealed about The Undertaker was how the WWE Legend gave riddles to his colleagues while discussing things. He recalled the incident and said:

“He [Sheamus] would talk about how Hunter [Triple H] sat him down and explained it step by step. ‘Taker would sit there and give riddles I could never figure out, ‘It’s not playing the wrestler, it’s being the wrestler.’ I’m walking away like, ‘What the hell is he talking about? He’s giving me riddles!’”

Arn Anderson wanted John Cena to lose to Rusev

Arn Anderson has revealed on the ARN podcast that he wanted John Cena to lose his match at Extreme Rules 2015 to Rusev.

He believes that it would have been a great way to help Rusev get some heat and make Cena the ultimate babyface if the Bulgarian Brute would've beaten him black and blue.

The unique match needed one of the two competitors to touch all four corners and Cena did it to retain the United States title. Arn Anderson believes that a victory for Rusev would have protected the match stipulation as well.

“Let’s pull the plug here a little bit and let him beat Cena to a pulp and pin him, one, two, three, and he’s bleeding to death. Lana comes down and saves Cena that night. You think you’d have had a babyface face of the company the next day? That’s how easy it would have been just to tweak it.”

Cena is now a part-timer with WWE while Rusev was released last week in the mass exodus of Superstars.

Eric Bischoff calls John Cena a wannabe

John Cena faced The Fiend Bray Wyatt in a Firefly Fun House match at WrestleMania 36 in what was one of the most unique matches to ever take place at The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Bray Wyatt put the 16-time Champion through a series of incidents from his past, including being a part of the nWo on WCW Monday Nitro.

While it has been over two weeks since the match took place, Eric Bischoff recently took to Twitter and called Cena a wannabe. The WWE legend kept things simple and just tweeted out three words – “Just another wannabe” along with a photo of Cena in the nWo shirt from the match.

Bischoff was a big part of nWo, as he was the manager of the faction and is recognized as one of the most vital members of the group because of his mic skills.

The WWE Universe had a mixed reaction to the Firefly Fun House match as many found it confusing and disjointed. However, the vast majority of viewers were highly appreciative of the efforts put in by Bray Wyatt and John Cena

Moreover, the outcome of the match pleased one and all as The Fiend defeated the 16-time Champion.

Triple H helped put over former WWE Champion

Triple H has put over several Superstars in his career and was doing it even more regularly in the latter stages of his WWE career. One such match was when he took on Sheamus in 2010.

The two had clashed at Extreme Rules and The Game put the Celtic Warrior over in a major way. He sold the injuries suffered in the match extremely well and that got Sheamus a lot of heat.

The push saw him become a 'monster heel' at that time as he had defeated the likes of John Cena and Randy Orton before this match and it was early in his WWE career.

Arn Anderson spoke about it on the latest episode of his podcast and said:

I did think Triple H sold that left arm as good as anybody else could have or has done over an extended period.
If there was anymore you could have done for Sheamus on this night, I don't know what it would be. Hats off to Hunter for doing a great job.
