John Cena to Deliver “Knockout” to Rock on WWE RAW, Is MMA Fighter Joining WWE?

— Teasing a follow-up to The Rock’s most-recent promo, WWE headliner John Cena promised to deliver the “final knockout” in their back-and-forth on RAW this Monday.

“And I will come to raw for bizzness. Final knockout this monday on raw. HUSTLE. LOYALTY. RESPECT,” wrote Cena on Twitter.

— Regarding rumors of Strikeforce champion Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos jumping to WWE Yahoo! Sports spoke to WWE officials who deny that an offer was made to the dominant female fighter.

Under Santos’ “championship clause” with Strikeforce, she is linked to the company until she loses the title. Any crossover appearance for WWE would thus have to be approved by Strikeforce officials.

Strikeforce has definitely given indications it would be more open to a pro wrestling-MMA crossover than UFC, but should WWE actually approach Strikeforce about Cyborg (and there is no definitive word the interest is serious), it is unclear whether the restrictions Strikeforce would place on the arrangement would align with WWE’s own vision for the fighter.

  1. Vince McMahon your a damn millonair due to wrestling but can’t you do better than the Rock and Cena thing, unless Cena turns on the fans the fans will turn on the WWE which many have since TNA with the way they run things will soon be #1.
    Pay Flair the money and let him do what he’s doing with Dixie Carters company, putting them to the top and doing it fast. Letting Kurt Angle go was bad and even Foley and Flair are still spilling the blood for the sport they would die for, but they know what the people love. You want talent then get A.J. Stiles probably the best wrestler of all time. How much longer will HHH wrestle or undertaker who is great, now you let Mickie James go. I think fans would rather listen to Taz than Michael Coles stupid AND i Quote comment, damn is that dumb and it makes many viewers change the channel before he says it. Just watch TNA and learn and hopefully soon you will get back out of your Mickey Mouse league.
