Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has shared a personal health scare that left him fearing he had testicular cancer. The actor and former wrestler described discovering a painful swelling in his left testicle while showering, which doctors initially suspected could be either epididymitis or testicular cancer. Johnson was unable to immediately get an ultrasound due to promotional commitments for the movie Jumanji, leaving him in uncertainty for 24 hours. ‘I had to live through those 24 hours not knowing and still being out there cracking jokes and giving speeches,’ he said. Tests eventually confirmed it was a non-cancerous inflammation, and Johnson is now in good health.

WWE’s Tribal Chief and Record Reign

Paul Heyman. Roman Reigns’ longtime manager. Credited with coining the name ‘Tribal Chief,’ explained how it helped redefine Reigns’ career. According to Bleacher Report. Heyman said the idea was to differentiate Reigns from his previous persona and emphasize his uniqueness. ‘You got to pull the trigger on this. This has to be as much of a seismic shift as The Deadman becoming The American Badass,’ Heyman said. The Tribal Chief moniker led to Reigns’ most successful run in WWE history, including a 1,316-day world championship reign — the fourth longest in company history and the longest since 1988. The character also led to the formation of The Bloodline, one of the most successful stables in WWE history.
