They told lesnar weeks ago that Cena was going over, but Lesnar's camp thought it was probably just testing him to see how he'd react. Cena was supposed to go out on a stretcher so that Lesnar would look like the winner in the end, which obviously didn't happen. Apparently it's hard to tell what exactly is going on behind the scenes because there's a lot of "weird working" going on. It's a "bizarre situation". In any case, apparently he's just there to put Cena over, and they wanted it to happen right away so everybody would forget about Cena losing to The Rock at mania. No real long term thought process, it's not building toward wrestlemania next year, it's all about getting WWE people over, starting with Cena.

**** Cena. Seriously. The most entertaining this company's been in the last 5 years was when the focus was on Punk last summer. Other than that, Cena's been the only guy on top & it's been the same old shit for....7 years?
And yet I keep watching.

Back to midgets and fat dancing guys and guys with invisible friends and john cena getting his ass kicked one night and coming out to give a heroic speech about 'leaving for a while" instead of getting stretchered out and then coming out joking the next night like nothing ever happened to lead to a match that literally nobody wants to see with Johnny Ace.

Note that the Punk, Rock & Lesnar angles all involved Cena on the other side of it....

I'm really excited to see Punk-DB, but there's still 2.5 weeks for them to **** it up by having Lesnar injure DB or some stupid shit. Or they could always just give them 5 minutes for the actual match. And then there's the argument of why this isn't main-eventing Wrestlemania. Oh, wait, Cena's not involved....
Holding out hope that they'll at least do Punk-DB the right way, but considering that they ended Raw with Big Johnny & Cena, I'm not holding out too much.
