10-Minute Warning CLXXXI

Since I’m heading out to my safe space and have a caffeinated drink, what can I share here under 10 minutes?

Firstly, let me rant for a while: In my current job as an admin assistant, I expect a lot of billings during the first week. I got used to working on those billings, but what I’m still not used to is checking a set of reports handwritten by one of our employees. His reports are fine… except that the way he writes the letter E looks like a fusion of the letters B and R, and that hurts my head every time. Ugh.

Anyway, what else? Oh… Lately, I noticed that whenever I listen to music on Spotify, sometimes it plays the perfect song or at least a line or two whenever I do something. For example, last Friday night, I heard the line “I took a sip from my devil’s cup” from Britney Spears’ “Toxic” (one of my favorite Britney Spears songs ever) when I took a sip from my favorite Jack & Coke Zero.

The music video of Britney Spears’ “Toxic”.

Since then, I have been calling the aforementioned drink “The Devil’s Cup”. Thanks, universe, Spotify, and Ms. Britney!

…and my 10 minutes are almost up. I need to go. See you in the next post, and have a nice week ahead!

Watch V: John Cena’s Pipe Bomb and CM Punk’s Rap Promo

The rivalry between John Cena and (one of my favorite pro wrestlers of all time) CM Punk in 2011 is one of my top 10 favorite pro wrestling feuds of all time. Everything that happened in that story—the buildup, the Pipe Bomb promo, their legendary WWE Championship match at Money in the Bank—is perfectly executed. So, upon learning that Cena plans to retire this 2025, I truly hoped that “The Greatest of All Time” and “The Best in the World” could reignite their rivalry.

After that shocking John Cena heel turn, facing Cody Rhodes for the WWE title at WrestleMania 41, battling Randy Orton on Backlash, facing his “biggest fan” R-Truth at Saturday Night’s Main Event, interfering in the Jey Uso/Logan Paul world title match on the same night, and the Cena/Paul vs Rhodes/Uso match at Money in the Bank, on the June 9, 2025 edition of Monday Night Raw, CM Punk confronted Cena and challenged him for the WWE Championship. Cena said yes, but the match will happen on Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia.

On that episode of Raw, my hope for another chapter in the John Cena/CM Punk feud became reality, but this time the alignments changed: Punk is a face and Cena is a heel champion. Since then, it has been only a few weeks, but the buildup to their Night of Champions match is fucking spectacular.

What are the best parts of the buildup? Firstly…
