Next week on RAW:

During Cena's promo the Belgium crowd made it feel like ECW One Night Stand 2006. Cena taking the jilted lover route with the reasoning for his heel turn. Reckon he should have mentioned Rock in his promo, say something like The Rock gave him a big pay rise to side with him and he's doing it for the money, not the fans anymore, and he'll win No.17 his way and not the right way.

Penta vs Ludwig being no holds barred and using just 1 chair was a bit of a letdown.

Rhea Ripley putting her name on a contract that has nothing to do with her was weird. I reckon they've done this angle before, can't remember when though.

Sucks that Austin Theory got squashed in a minute, all that Yeeting just for that match.

That Rollins promo was terrible, took him 10 minutes to say he'll be on Smackdown and then left.

Solid IC Title main event, Breakker vs Penta should be good if that happens at Mania.

 

[Nicho50]

Another great show.

Great promo from Cena and Cody.
Quality match between Penta and Kieser.

Seeds planted for Dom and Balor? Interesting Kross was in the background talking to Dom at one stage and then the interaction with AJ at the end.

Fantastic main event. Still think it’ll be a multi man IC match at Mania but if they go Penta v Breakker bring it on.

It’s amazing how at the other place Penta was just the tag team specialist , with limited or next to no mic time. The guy has been presented as a star, the look, the entrance the hype! Interested to see what they do with Fenix soon.

Yeah think he should have gone that route too. Today's promo felt more like it belonged in 2012.

Kinda ironic and amusing see Cody continue with his corporate look considering the themes of this feud with Rock/Cena

 

[Ry009]

Cena promo delivery was great, but gee the content felt like it was written by Brian Gerwitz/The Rock. Nothing about the title which should have the driver

Cody was perfect though, short and sweet.

Penta and Ludwig was a lot of fun.

European crowds are great. Don't think less tours are the reason why they're so loud. They already have loud crowds at football games in Europe. US crowds by large are being put to shame.

Considering there's already so many titles in wrestling these days, no harm in bringing this bad boy back IMO.

HBK interjecting into the HHH vs Benoit match for WM 20!

I thought today was a super annoying crowd. Some of these overseas crowds try way too hard and just start spamming irrelevant chants.

I popped for Carlito's "you don't watch the show, do you?"

Calling out a 33 year long plot hole!

 

[TimZoo]

That promo actually got me to empathise with him,He was more right than wrong,Is there a danger when they're back in the States he becomes an anti-hero baby face by default ?

I think he's that good at promos that he will be able to get the boos wherever he goes, he just might need to work a bit harder to get them. I love this from Cena, there's so much truth to it and I think he's got plenty more to draw from. Keeping it short and sweet with Cody was good too.

 

[Grockadoc]

I definitely think Ccena's promo was him finally being true to himself and voicing feelings he's had for years.

 

[nobbyiscool]

I can't say that whiney bitch "you were mean to me" Cena is where I thought this would go. But I know he's been thinking about this heel turn for 15 years, so I'm prepared to see it out and see where it goes over the next 5 weeks before I pass judgement on it. It was clearly all very deliberate that he was supposed to be whiney, cos Cody and Cole/Graves had all the right lines ready to go.

I still have Firefly Funhouse in the back of my mind. I hope it doesn't end up being a bum steer, cos I thought it created a really interesting roadmap for what Cena's heel turn could be, and the heel turn presented them great opportunity to follow up on that and make something of the Sick6... if they ever get back on tv. (Maybe Cena could ultimately make it up to Bo for wrecking his brother at WM.)

 

[TY24]

European crowds are great. Don't think less tours are the reason why they're so loud. They already have loud crowds at football games in Europe. US crowds by large are being put to shame.

This echoes my thoughts as well. Watching Smackdown and Raw this week, the crowds were incredible and made the atmosphere pretty special.

Brussels singing Goodbye to Cena as he trudged out was the highlight.

Could Joe Hendry be the mystery partner on RAW in Scotland next week?

Say his name and he appears! That should make it true enough.

 

[Quivorir]

Reckon it will just be a disappointing Big Jim.

 

[Ivelisse]

he can bring back the horns

When did Rey Mysterio have horns?

Read a few weeks ago that apparently a Cena heel turn in 2012 during the Kane/Rock feuds was all but done and they nixed it at the last second. They had a new theme song and look for him and everything.

 

[Quivorir]

Heel Mysterio in the Filthy Animals. Was a wild time.

 

[Millky95]

maybe WWE can cash in on some AFL/NRL title belts...

Only a few AFL belts I wouldn't buy tbh
