Cena's Time Off Put On Hold?, '12 Rounds' Update, Twist In UFC Main Event & More
* We had reported earlier that John Cena would be taking some time off after Backlash to film his next movie. That was the original plan, until plans for Cena's next movie appeared to be put on ice after the failure of 12 Rounds. It remains to be seen if WWE decides to go forward with another Cena movie.
* Speaking of 12 Rounds, it dropped to #32 this past weekend, bringing it's total domestic tally to $11,492,383. It looks unlikely that it will hit the $12 million mark.
* The UFC 99 main event between Rich Franklin and Wanderlei Silva has an interesting twist. According to FightLine.com, Franklin's biggest foe – and former Wanderlei training partner – Anderson Silva will now help train Franklin for the fight. Anderson Silva is the reigning UFC Middleweight Champion, having initially won it from Rich Franklin in October of 2006. For more on this, check out FightLine.com by clicking here.
