– We noted earlier this month that a Northern Kentucky woman named Brittany Depew who is battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia for a third time tweeted out a photo in hopes of having her final wish granted, which was to meet John Cena. Cena not only sang her happy birthday in a video message, but he also stopped by her home yesterday and brought her several gifts. She posted photos of the visit on her Facebook page. After the visit, Cena posted the following tweet:

There are moments in life that just make u smile so big, that nothing can wipe away the happy grin. A smile that touches the heart.

ABC 7 in Denver has an article about the meeting here. In addition to the photos on Depew’s Facebook page, here are a couple of photos sent to us (thanks to Aaron):

“Everyone would be doing it if it wasn’t tough, so absolutely it’s tough, but it’s something you have to do deal with and you have to go through and you just keep trucking along,” he added. “I know those people that got released aren’t going to tell me, ‘Well, you should come with me.’ They’re going to be like, ‘Dude, go steal the show, go be as amazing as possible and I’m going to go do my thing and be as amazing as possible.’ I think that’s the mentality.”

Source: PWTorch

PWTorch reports that WWE head writer Jay Gibson has been released from the company. His release was made by Vince McMahon on Friday, just one day after WWE released 11 talents. It was previously reported by PWInsider that there were no office cuts last week and this is the first creative release that we’ve heard of.

Last night’s RAW episode was the first WWE TV show without Gibson. This led to a show that had familiar segments that are a favorite of Vince McMahon’s, including the segment with Stephanie McMahon throwing up on Vickie Guerrero.

Vince is reportedly looking at reducing payroll and is spearheading changes that go back to the budget cuts that we’ve been reported on.
