streamable.com/um7gbI'm still shocked at this. I've rewatched it a few times like it was the end of Floyd/Conor. You can see where Reigns starts f***ing up. After Cena said Reigns was a bootleg it just went downhill. From the pauses, from him going back to the "you suck" thing which the crowd booed, just, man. Dude was dismantled. I haven't seen someone get embarrassed on the mic like that in a long time. This was worse than the Rock feud because Rock could actually cut a promo. Just brutal.

Cena with the patented "I will win this argument by explaining why the fake wrestling character you play is fake and also wrestling is fake" offense on the mic.

From the other thread: Roman Reigns died tonight.
There is no skirting around the facts here. He was given the opportunity to try and tear Cena down and hold himself in a promo and he f***ing flatlined worse than Corbin did.
Roman essentially is done, even if he beats Cena, he has been basically torn to shreds to the point he and his brand are damaged beyond any conceivable repair.
Also the promo and segment itself only got heat for the shoot and meta aspects, no one wants to see the match, but more so now that Reigns has been utterly demolished, who would want to? Who cares? Who gained anything from that? And why would you have THAT promo when you still have a month left of build??
Overall, that was a Golden Snow Cone/Gooker/Razzie Award Winning segment... we witnessed a live murder on TV, and his name was Roman Reigns.

Cena with the patented "I will win this argument by explaining why the fake wrestling character you play is fake and also wrestling is fake" offense on the mic. Here's the thing, Cena's promos are usually horrific and detrimental to someone when he goes super meta, but in this case, Roman is someone who has a large consensus that he sucks, his character sucks, and he cannot carry this company as the top guy. Cena saying that got cheered, because he in this case, is right, and that's WWE's fault. |

We all know exactly how this ends.
Roman pins Cena 1, 2, 3 at No Mercy. Cena gets on the mic the next night and has zero excuses and proclaims Roman has something more important than any titles.... his RESPECT. He gives Roman his blessing as "The Next Cena."
The commentary table slobbers all over Roman.
The crowd boos. Everyone boos.
WWE pretends Roman is still their Golden God.

And once again, he's not wrong, and I'm not even a Cena Fan. |

That segment perfectly encapsulated everything wrong WWE today.
I kind of legit felt bad for Reigns though. Yes, he should be able to hang with Cena considering his spot, but Cena pulled absolutely *no* punches and made The Rock look like he was singing the praises of the targets of his mic burials in comparison.
Then again...Rock did all of it within kayfabe and didn't completely shit on the entire company.

Because that was worse than Corbin. |

What the f*** was the point of that? Because holy shit, that was the definition of focusing on weaknesses. I understand, you got it or you don't but seriously whoever booked that should be slapped.

As I said in the RAW thread, Cena has come full circle and is in the Hunter role from Mania 22.

I think this is a case of WWE learning the wrong lesson from prior success. They look at Cena's face/face feuds and they go "wow, those really got guys over huge because they just went all in on each other. This will be the thing that gets Roman over, Like Punk and Bryan before him. Brilliant. The fans will love Roman for defeating Cena!" So they go to Cena and said "Don't hold back. That's what works." And so...
He didn't hold back.
Then Roman... got buried. Buried harder than I've seen anyone get in a long time. Not just from Cena's words, but his own inability to make any impact on the mic. He looked like a f***in' goof out there on the mic. He's never been an amazing promo but goddamn, that was amateur hour. There is no future with Roman as the top face because they straight killed him tonight.

He IS the machine at this point... They've put too much into him, and I can't see it stopping. That said... I'd be THRILLED if Cena used his influence to depush the guy. |
