This is ridiculous. We complain about Dolph getting title shots despite being an epic loser, but Cena is many times worse. Waltz in, demand title shot despite doing absolutely nothing to earn it (and swipe it from people who're there every night) and get it, lose, f*** off back to Hollywood for several more months, rinse and repeat. Just go away for good, Cena. And take Nikki with you. Isn't that kinda the point this time around? Cena is throwing his star power and weight around. And....from a matchmaking perspective who else would you put in there for a big time Rumble title match? Apollo? Yeah exactly. In kayfabe no one else has a strong enough case for themselves to justify a shot, AJ's beaten everybody, John Cena's been off the grid so his first match back is gonna be huge, might as well be a title shot. John Cena is transparent about the "right place, right time" shortcut he's taking. The story is completely aware of the perceived injustice of Cena getting the chance unlike many times when Cena was inserted into things in the past.

I kinda hate to say it because people seemed a bit burned out on him before, but since it looks like the Wyatts are on the fast track to kaputville and the Rumble title match is looking like a stopgap thing, maybe Orton? Have we had Orton/AJ before?

Have we had Orton/AJ before? Haven't but that's something I feel like you can hold onto. The Wyatt stuff is still simmering, they're bickering but if anyone is getting the boot it's Harper.

In think miz is quietly putting together a hall of fame career I'm a Mizfit, no way in hell can I argue his point. It's just great to hear Ambrose say that, he gets it, if you run your opponent down and call him a loser, then if you win you only beat a loser, and if you lose, you lost to a loser.

Congrats to American Alpha...
But can we assume the original plan was a HYPE BROS Title win? Gotta feel doubly bad for Ryder if that was the case.

American Alpha was likely always the end game, while Hype Bros would have just been some warm bodies to keep them busy for another week or two. They've probably had to skip a few steps of the angle here.

It's more likely that they were planned to lose the titles to AA later but they had to jump the gun to now because they and Legislater are the only face teams left.

I hope WWE gives him another chance after he gutted it out like that. He's been on their radar on and off for a few years now as a regular enhancement guy in NXT and being an alternate for the Cruiserweight Classic, so hopefully things will work out for him in his recovery.

Oh yeah, I remember when he jobbed to Baron Corbin once, and was dressing as Vegeta long before New Day came out of a cereal box.

It must be tough to book for the guy when 5 minutes of the match is dedicated to him powering up.

Had a dream last night that CM Punk ran out to the ring after the show ended and got KOed TJ Perkins style. It was hilarious.

I actually liked the new look he was sporting this week, as opposed to his usual DBZ gear.

He blew out his knee weeks ago and is asking for help on GoFundMe as well as selling his gear. The question being floated know is did he tell WWE? I really doubt he did as there is zero chance they'd put him in the ring injured.
