University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Chancellor James Beeby is set to be inaugurated on Friday, May 2. While the event is already set to be packed full of UWL students and faculty and community members, the Chancellor has decided to kick things up a notch by wrestling none other than WWE legend John Cena.
The announcement comes on the heels of history being made, as John Cena emerged victorious against then-WWE Champion Cody Rhodes on night two of WrestleMania 41in Las Vegas, landing Cena his 17th WWE title and breaking Ric Flair’s record for the most WWE championships in history.
Chancellor Beeby reportedly wants to officially start rebuilding UWL’s public image as part of the school’s “Reimagine Plan,” shifting attention away from previous controversies and instead presenting him and his administration as more involved with current events and what students care about.
“Chancellor Beeby is proud to be on camera doing a different type of wrestling than what our last Chancellor was known for,” explained a UWL faculty member.
While everybody isn’t thrilled about the match, there certainly are many eager fans that are excited about Beeby-Cena throwdown.
“I’m really craving this Beeby-Cena match,” said one freshman. “His main event at WrestleMania was a little week for me, but I have no doubt that this Beeby-Cena match will leave me satisfied.”
The university is having a difficult time accommodating Cena, as the Surf’s Up 2: WaveMania star is apparently unwilling to stay in Drake Hall, even though they would give him an RA room and would paint his door green just the way he likes it.
Additionally, UWL facilities workers have been incredibly busy trying to get the ring and viewing area set up for the match, saying that “the Beeby-Cena match will be much bigger than expected.” UWL event staff anticipate the Chancellor Beeby vs. John Cena title match to be the biggest single event in school history.
