Cena's lying, he's really just afraid of Alberto del Rio and the armbar.
After that harrowing Christmas match, Cena never wants to have to take on del Rio again.

It is like in the last few weeks John Cena is challenging himself to cut the longest promo on a concept that is about 20 seconds worth of content.

Poor, poor Del Rio, Show, Sheamus, and Ziggler. People talk about how bad Rock did Billy Gunn but damn that promo did them no favors.

Not to mention that during this horrible period of time Cena cut promos about how CM Punk being champion was irrelevant because he wasn't main eventing shows, Cena was. And Cena also beat Brock Lesnar, as even the great HHH could not.

of course by assuming this you're no selling Punk's best in the world and Rock being the People's Champion.

I didn't have a problem with his promo until he said fighting for the WHC would pretty much be an easy victory.

What's bizarre to me was the "no odds" and easier chance stuff was completely unnecessary. Cena has a score to settle with both Rock and Punk. Have him put over Del Rio saying that he wants the WH and WWE titles, but that he wants to prove he can beat Rock/Punk just a bit more.

John Cena has to be one of the least self-aware people on the entire planet.

The long dramatic pause was stupid, there's only one thing he could say after that pause that would work, and it wasn't either belt.

Seriously, I stopped listening, started browsing the internet, looked up after about five minutes......"what in the holiest of f***s? ? He's still saying this same sentence? ?" It was verging on McGilicutty territory.

Again, I say this as a fan of John Cena. But his ridiculous "a match I have no chance of winning" line was just so painful. Actually that entire promo was painful. If they want to go in this direction I can't do anything about it, but they don't have to insult people's intelligence along the way. oh i laughed out loud at that line. also how he went back to his "that was the match i had to win. and i lost" thing- after coming out the night after wrestlemania doing his usual routine again like nothing major just happened.

Yeah,he practically buried the entire WHC scene in that promo. Wouldn't kill to speak about it a few words.

It was really poor to make out that he could win the World Heavyweight title easily with short odds. I was hoping that the swerve would be that for that reason he picked that title then Del Rio loses it to Undertaker. But then that would have involved Cena turning heel which they are clearly not ready to do any time soon if ever.
Why say that at all? And then adding the "match i have virtually no chance of winning" about the WWE match just really was dreadful.
I normally like Cena, but I hate it when he (or whoever scripted it) pulls rubbish like this. Just counter productive.

TBF they have 3 hours to fill - with Triple H off screen, they need someone to pad out pointless and obvious promos. Once again, Cena is the man.
At this stage I think the only way anything will change with Cena is if the fans that hate him/are bored with him start chanting "Boring" at him or something - nothing else has worked.
