Vince McMahon introduces John Cena on his twentieth WWE anniversary
Vince McMahon welcomed John Cena to the ring throughout Monday Evening Uncooked to have a good time 20 years of dominating the WWE.
Slightly than this being the beginning of some long-term program or a battle with a high heel on the microphone, it was good to see one other facet of Cena as he mirrored on his 20-year milestone.
We don’t typically see that sort of emotion from the “Peacemaker” star, but it surely made all of the sense on the earth right here.
Listening to John say he doesn’t know when he’ll be again within the ring once more was one other fascinating takeaway from his speech, however it could additionally clarify why there wasn’t extra of an encounter with Idea.
Actually, it was good how Cena didn’t tackle him of their backstage face-to-face. He clearly wished to save lots of his ammo for an additional day.
Moreover, Chris Jericho, Daniel Bryan (aka Bryan Danielson) and Paul Wight (aka The Large Present) sending in video messages was an ideal shock. All three performed a job in his story, so seeing them briefly was a pleasant deal with.
Extra highlights:
Cody Rhodes made an fascinating remark about Seth Rollins whereas being interviewed about his absence at Cash within the Financial institution.
“If Seth takes the win [at Money in the Bank], I feel I’ll be the primary to congratulate him,” he mentioned. Does this imply we’d see Cody on Saturday?
The Miz teased one other team-up with Logan Paul at SummerSlam, regardless of turning on him after their final match collectively.
I’m guessing it’ll be Logan Paul vs. The Miz as a substitute.
