Mon. #2 is HERE. To help out the site subscribe to Mistah MegaManFan or support us on Patreon. With the cheap plugs out of the way here's Tuesday's latest wrestling news.

John CenaIt looks like John Cena is getting into the alcohol business with a new premixed cocktail brand called Thomas Ashbourne. Here's what Cena says inspired him: "I got a lot of my (wrestling) business education after the (live) events, being able to sit with the people I've watched and admired and we've shared beer and bourbon and a bunch of stories. That actually brought me here."

Once again MJF is teasing the idea he'll go to WWE in 2024: "I don't know if you guys are aware of this, but on January 1st of 2024, I'm going to be a free agent. Who here would want to see me in WWE? So let me explain something to you people - I did not get into this business to make any of you happy. I got into this business to make as much money as humanly possible. And if Vincent Kennedy McMahon is willing to shell out more money than my good friend Tony Khan, then yes, I would go to WWE. That's funny, because at only 26 years old, I'm the biggest minute for minute rating draw in all of AEW. So I was able to do that in, what, half the time he was? When he was what, at 26, what was Chris Jericho doing? That's right, jack shit."

Dexter Lumis is going back to being Samuel Shaw and is booked for Atomic Wrestling on June 24th.

Raw highlights and new WWE related videos are available below.

Here Matt Hardy praises Randy Orton: "Quote me. I think Randy Orton is fucking awesome. I love Randy's work. I always enjoyed working with him and I think, as a person, me knowing him for these 20 years - once again, he's another person I'm so proud of where he is in life with his family and his kids. We have so much in common and in the last couple of years I was there, we became closer than we ever had. Just because we shared those personal family lives together and we were kind of in the same boat. Both of our wives are pretty intense. If you know what I mean. I know you know them both. You've dealt with them both. You've dealt with Kim, you've dealt with Reby. So they're both pretty intense and they're good for us because they keep us both in check. So I have nothing but positive things to say about Randy and I love Randy's storytelling in the ring. I love the way he does his character and Randy was one of my biggest supporters when I left and went to AEW, to do my stuff and get over on my own, being one of the older guys that was never one of Vince's top guys. Randy was one of my biggest supporters and constantly texted me. We stayed in contact. So yeah, man, I think Randy is awesome. People who think Randy doesn't do a lot or works a slower, more plodding pace or whatever, I don't think they get the basic aspects of like traditional pro wrestling. When it comes to traditional pro wrestling and traditional storytelling, there was no one better than Randy."

Roderick Strong has allegedly requested his WWE release "multiple times" in the last few months and was denied each time, which is why some people are surprised he wasn't let go last Friday along with all of the other roster cuts to NXT 2.0. (FF)

Edge believes the Toronto Maple Leafs can go all the way in the Stanley Cup Playoffs: "I'm doubling down. I lived through the Ballard years. You live through the Ballard years and you have a team that puts of 115 points and 54 wins, you're going to feel good about it. We're not putting on the paper bags. This is an amazing team. What I will say, Tampa is the last team that I was hoping we would get. If you're looking at this thing, two-time defending Stanley Cup Champions are going to be the favorites until they are eliminated because they have Vasilevskiy. All that being said, I do think the Leafs roster matches up."

Veer Mahaan talks about relaunching his career on Raw this year: "It feels great. It does not feel like it was me alone who joined RAW, but 1.4 billion Indians, plus the fans all around the world have joined with me. I know we have waited for 5-6 months. But, I think the wait was worth it. It was worth it for me. It was worth it for all the fans around the world. We are seeing that energy. I felt the energy transformed, just as soon as I got my entrance, from them to me and I was able to give them back what they have been waiting for so long."

Booker T on his WWE status: "My relationship with the company has never been better. My contract with them isn't up for another several years. I'm still around doing the kickoff shows for all the premium events on Peacock. I sometimes host RAW Talk and Talking Smack and WWE has me involved with several other projects."

New WWE recruits are now informally expected to show improvement "in 90 days" or they'll be cut from the roster, even if they are signed to long term multiple year deals. (WO)

From The Bunny/Allie/Cherry Bomb.

It's #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth and I thought it would be a good time to share some things with all of you. I try to be open about my internal struggles, which isn't always easy. There's still a huge stigma surrounding mental health issues.

I think the thing people don't talk about much when struggling with their mental health is how exhausting it is. How you so desperately want to feel "okay" and not locked inside the confines of your own brain. You put the work in every day and yet you still find yourself struggling, fighting against the title wave, whatever that title wave looks like for you. Mine has been the crippling anxiety and the enormous fear that if I'm not anxious I will fall backwards into depression.

I made the decision recently to ask for more help. I realized that even though I was putting in the "work", doing all of the daily things that help, I was still deeply struggling and truly exhausted. I fought the idea of medication for a very long time. Like so many, I was scared of what people would think. I was afraid it wouldn't work. I had many fears surrounding it. But I realize now how much the fear was holding me back.

So, I decided to go on medication. And I'm slowly starting to feel better. The loudness is starting to soften. The crippling anxiety is starting to lessen its grip. And I'm starting to feel like myself. A version of myself I didn't think I would ever find. I want the stigma surrounding mental health issues to GO AWAY. So many people are struggling and it's OKAY for us to talk about it. You don't have to suffer in silence. You're not alone.
