There’s something floating around claiming the Tennessee Titans CEO has claimed that WWE has promised to bring Wrestlemania to their new stadium for 2027
 
Sounds like Robert Roode is probably done for good. :(

from today's f4wonline.com:

Robert Roode is back on the road to recovery after undergoing a second spinal fusion surgery.

Roode revealed in an Instagram post that he had cervical fusion surgery done on his C4 and C5 vertebrae. The surgery took place on Thursday, which was Roode's 47th birthday.

This comes five months after Roode had cervical fusion surgery on his C5 and C6 vertebrae.

In his Instagram post on Friday, Roode stated that the surgery was a success and thanked the staff at the Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center in Birmingham, Alabama. Roode also thanked his partner Deneane for her support through what has been a challenging year for him.




Roode has been out of action since June 2022. He hasn't wrestled on television since appearing as an entrant in the 2022 Andre the Giant Battle Royal.

Yeah, I can't see anyone really coming back from that, especially when you add in a setback too.

Guy should have been a huge star on the main roster, but, you know... Vince.

Agreed. His Glorious debut is a top-10 all-timer. That was awesome.

I did not know Roode was already 47. I though he was a few years younger. At that age and after these surgeries, in-ring career is probably over. If it is, I can imagine WWE will offer him either a backstage role or a on-tv non-wrestling role.

Yeah, he's older than he looks. I remember finding out a few years ago that he was already in his mid 40s and was quite surprised.

I think he was 40 or 42 when he he was really over at NXT. I thought then already that he wouldn't have a long main roster career ahead of him but he'd better make good use of the time he has. IIRC, HHH was very fond of him at NXT so based on that alone I think he'll have an outside-the-ring job at WWE if he wants to.

Bill Apter is reporting that during a recent conversation Bob Orton told him that doctors have advised retirement for Randy Orton.

It does, but Randy has been going strong at this for what, 20/21 years almost?

He's done it all. He deserves a nice early retirement based on all he's put his body through.

Cena saying his body can't really go anymore either.

Unless they give him the record amount of title wins I really don’t see why he would bother with wrestling anymore. He’s a movie star now. He has benefitted WWE just as much as they have him, so it’s not like he even owes anybody a retirement rub.

I feel like the retirement rubs only work when the wrestler is active. Did anyone really gain anything from beating Goldberg these past few years? I don't think so.

And "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner!

But in all seriousness, a ground-breaking character and performer. RIP Mr. Graham.

That tribute video will probably air during Smackdown tonight. 10 bell salute?

I highly doubt they'll do the 10 bell salute. They seem to only do it for guys that have involved with WWE recently. They did it for Sammartino but WWE treats him as some kind of God.
