Cena always elevates when he's feuding Orton, Punk and Edge. We got 2/3, shame Edge went to AEW even though a match between Edge v Cena in 2025 would be utter shit the promos would've been insane.

I don’t think he’s wrong that they deserve more credit, but there’s a before and after for a reason.

Probably best segment heel Cena has done this entire run

If he said hi to Matt and Nick I would have really cracked up

Well, because hi to a Matt and a Nick

Cena pipe bomb > Punk pipe bomb.

Not even remotely close. It was fine because the content was clever. But it was just a scripted copy of punks promo with a lesser delivery

but that wouldn't have made sense.... Cesaro, Ziggler and Ryder are 3 guys that Punk used to say were underutilized when he dd interviews and such, then when he became a top guy he did nothing to help them behind the scenes.

you do know they're not really scripting promos anymore, right? They have a few talking points, but they usually let the talent fill the gaps now, especially guys known to be good on the mic.

Stephanie is a treasure. She got Sheamus to twerk

Which is why this one stands out for feeling very much scripted. Thank you.

I think it felt that way due to being a reverse Punk pipe bomb. So yes, scripted in a way but, sort of not.

Cena should of tapped on the camera lense and said "real glass, go cry me a river".

Goldberg v Günther officially announced as a retirement match.

Which means Goldberg is gonna get in way too much offense and then lose with shenanigans

He'll get choked out. Shenanigans will happen after the match.

Cena calling out Punk for being a hypocrite is funny as f***.

"Your Tweets speak louder than your actions" OOOOF.

Qatar airspace will likely be opened soon as Kuwait already did. This stupid geopolitical theater is likely over before it began.

An interesting take i just saw

Did you notice? John Cena name-dropped Claudio Castagnoli, Nic Nemeth, and Matt Cardona during his promo on SmackDown last night.

That wasn’t just a random shoutout to former WWE talent—it was a calculated move. Cena appeared to be taking indirect shots at CM Punk by referencing some of Punk’s real-life rivals:

Matt Cardona as a stand-in for Matt Jackson

Nick Nemeth hinting at Nick Jackson

Claudio Castagnoli(CC) alluding to Colt Cabana

Cena's message ran deeper than it seemed on the surface

they are also 3 guys that Punk used to pump the tires of in interviews for being underutilized, then when he reached the top of the mountain, he did nothing with his sway backstage to help their careers.
