John Cena built his career on Hustle, Loyalty, Respect — but his real story is a lot more complicated than that. This video breaks down the three biggest controversies of his career: burying talent in WWE, bowing to China over Taiwan, and publicly defending Vince McMahon amid serious sexual assault and trafficking allegations.

AEW is sitting on a goldmine and burying it. Bobby Lashley. Samoa Joe. Lance Archer. Big Bill. Brian Cage. Some of the biggest, most physically dominant men in professional wrestling — all on the same roster — all being wasted. And then there are the belts. Ten championships. TEN. When did AEW turn into a participation trophy factory?

This episode of WMIDL Wrestling breaks down two massive problems killing AEW in 2026 and exactly how to fix them. We talk about why super heavyweights are the secret weapon AEW refuses to use, why Bobby Lashley should be World Champion conversation instead of chasing Trios gold, why Samoa Joe already proved the monster push works, and why Lance Archer might be the most criminally underbooked big man in wrestling today.

Then we go in on the belt problem. Continental Championship. International Championship. TNT Championship. National Championship. TBS Championship. Trios Championship. Can you tell me the difference between all of them? Neither can most of AEW’s own fans.
