The subsequent upcoming WWE occasions will be the greatest the wrestling group has seen in years, primarily as a result of it is the final experience for its best famous person. There was as soon as a time when many followers may’ve groaned on the considered John Cena’s return, however the wrestler-turned-actor will not be the unbeatable power he as soon as was in his prime. Now, as he prepares for his closing WrestleMania match, Cena spoke about why the wrestling group booked him to win so usually in the midst of his profession.
Cena, who’s at present the odds-on favourite to win the Royal Rumble, spoke to Collider concerning the “LOL Cena wins” period — AKA the time it appeared The Champ could not be taken out by anybody. It even obtained to a degree the place he defeated Rey Mysterio for the title the identical evening the luchador gained it and by no means gave him a rematch. With that in thoughts, the Peacemaker actor was put within the spot about a few of these wins that followers felt was a little bit a lot, however he justified it in an effective way:
One of many greatest hang-ups within the center portion of my profession was that, spoiler alert, John wins. What folks don’t perceive is, I believe now, possibly, as we start to mirror again right here on this final run of like, ‘Hey, man, I used to be in it for the lengthy haul.’ The way in which you make these losses impactful is typically you’ve obtained to win, and generally you’ve obtained to win rather a lot. Any time you possibly can move power on to anyone, that’s sort of the life cycle of the enterprise. You are available an unknown and, hopefully, you get the flywheel spinning, you create all this power in your approach out, you pay it ahead, you move it off.
I should buy the excuse that the WWE would wish to hold John Cena wanting as sturdy as attainable, as the corporate usually protects its prime stars like Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes equally. The highest abilities of the wrestling establishment are sometimes the winningest, and as one of many winningest champions in this system’s historical past, Cena was protected fairly properly. He did not lose usually, and if he did, it was even rarer to lose the feud towards a would-be challenger.
On the similar time, I am certain not even John Cena remembers simply how egregious the Tremendous Cena run may very well be at instances. There was as soon as a time when he and Randy Orton defeated rattling close to the whole roster in a single evening and solely misplaced on account of interference. He has had 2297 matches in his WWE profession and he is gained a little bit over 78% of them. Even by way of talking a couple of scripted product, that is fairly wild.
That stated, John Cena’s days as a dominant champion are over. I believe there are causes he will not win the Royal Rumble, and the actual fact he is had a a lot more durable time within the ring than he did in his glory days makes it appear as if he is due for a loss. Even so, he is nonetheless gained eight of his final ten matches, so possibly Tremendous Cena is not as gone as all of us wish to assume.
Rumors swirled not too long ago that John Cena could problem Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship, although it relies on whether or not Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has a match. Sadly, The Rock’s newest WWE look gave little to point if he’ll be on the huge occasion, so we’re left to take a position on the plan for Cena.
Hopefully, we’ll have extra perception after watching the Royal Rumble, which works down on February 1. CinemaBlend will proceed to trace what is going on on within the WWE till then and any thrilling rumors as we get nearer to WrestleMania 41.
