If they book you to go promo to promo with Cena, you need to have a few grenades in the goodie bag, in case Cena goes off script.

Cena Makes a Wish every night that Nikki never gets pregnant. Or Nikki makes a wish every night hoping you'll let her have kids.

I'm surprised Cena didn't bring up 'Suffering Succotash', when Roman was struggling. And I didn't think that line could of been beaten but that pause that Reigns did, was alot worse, you could see that Roman wanted to disappear, right there and then. If you cannot think of anything, don't stand there, do something, smirk, ponder and walk around the ring.

As I said last night on Twitter, Cena gets too much credit for his promos. He can take liberties. If someone else went at him, and they could, they'd be Nexus/Baron Corbin/Dolph Ziggler status. Cena is a scumbag outside of his charitable actions.
Stop it. Every time guys get to go back at Cena just as hard as they go at him. Some people have lit him up, like Punk, Dean, and Miz. Some people have merely held their own, like Bryan and AJ. Others, like Roman, got cooked.

Complain year ROUND about scripts being bad then complain when two guys go out there free to crack back and forth just because the one you don't like can't talk to save his life.

That promo was fukking stupid. That's the kind of promo people shyt on Vince Russo for. shyt made absolutely no sense and is a terrible way to build to a fake wrestling match. The whole thing almost felt like a punishment to Roman. Obviously Cena was going to eat him alive even in a normal promo, but to do the worked shoot shyt and outright shyt on Roman for failing to be the guy the company wants him to be (and also randomly taking a shot at Taker), talking about heel turns and 4th walls....shyt is silly. "You can't bury me, John." :scust:

This is how you get an angle where Goldberg refuses to take Kevin Nash's powerbomb and forces Nash/Steiner to call a match on the fly much to the kudos of the announcers. There's no benefit to a promo like that. Roman can squash Cena in 40 seconds and Cena already won.

Agreed. I don't like this as much as I thought I would simply because of how they're setting this up. The gap between Cena/Reigns on the mic is so large that it doesn't look like a competitive sparring match. The worked shoot aspect makes it 10 times worse and has been proven to really only work when both guys are capable of good to great mic work. This didn't make either of them look any better because it only reinforced everything we already knew about both of them.

Roman "stop it john!" why dont you just shut up john
:mjcry:

His second big mistake in that promo. Yelling "shut up, John!" :mjlol: Very weak and childish. Cringe-worthy moment. Dude needs to start thinking of some off script shyt to say for next time and just let it all hang out, no fukks given just like Cena did. The Big Dog got euthanized here.

The fact he had to revert to cussing and getting bleeped is clear he just can't cut an inspiring promo

Cena dipped in to breaking kayfabe but kept it about why they need to fight. Roman came off like a coward low key but he's still supposed to be face?
Roman should be excited to beat john cena ass idk who helped him to come up with his angle but it was awful.
Breh, Cena did just this a few months ago with Miz, calling him a p*ssy on Smackdown :russ:

SMH @ people in here giddy about Cena doing the same shyt he does to alot of other stars. He's gets the ultimate green light against a guy like Roman that knows he still suffers consequences and can't really afford to be shooting strays at people. Cena just did another pipebomb, meaning he rattled off all the shyt people know already like he was saying something new. LMAO @ I used the US title to bring in AJ Styles and Kevin Owen. :gucci: "New Talent", John?:sas1: How come you aint give Baron Corbin or Rusev that glow up though? you know, new talent. :sas2: That was dumbest shyt i heard in a couple years.

I was hoping Reigns was gonna avoid signing the contract last night by saying "nobody comes out better from fighting you win or lose" and loosely or directly reference Rusev/Corbin.

It would have made much more sense for Cena to slowly start ethering Reigns more and more until he finally signed the contract either next week or the week after and let him own Cena on the physical side (or at least do the full lockerroom/security breakup).
