John Cena Talks RAW Return, Camp WWE and More
Thanks to a shoulder injury in January, John Cena has been missing from WWE programming for most of the year - though he did make a big appearance at WrestleMania a couple of months ago, in a segment with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and the Wyatt family. However, Cena will be back full time beginning on the next RAW and, in typically impressive fashion, he's returning after five months away, even though the initial prognosis was nine months.
Shortly before his appearance at the NBCUniversal Upfront in New York event last week, I spoke to Cena about coming back to WWE, who he’s hoping to have storylines with and more – including his thoughts on the return of the WWE Women's Championship (replacing the Divas Championship), the adult-aimed animated series Camp WWE and more.

A Visual History of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were first introduced to the world way back in 1984. The original, Mirage Studios comic, created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, was a parody of several existing comic franchises. The success of the comic later spawned a syndicated cartoon program, and from there, Turtlemania swept the nation.
Suddenly the Turtles were everywhere, from video games to breakfast cereals, to an increasingly baffling line of action figures. The first live-action movie, way back in 1990, was a run-away success and spawned two follow-ups.
Here's a look at the Turtles' humble, surprisingly violent beginnings as comic book characters, all the way through to their upcoming appearance in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan.
