Cena's promo in the opening segment on Raw was brilliant, it was the continuation of last weeks drams started by the No.1 contender CM Punk. Cena's promo was scripted and he was just a part of last weeks act.
“We have major unrest in the WWE Universe,” Cena said in the ring. “Are we supposed to sweep him (Punk) under the rug and forget about him? It sucks!”
Cena was just evoking a keen sense of sadness, we had seen this side of Cena when he announced that Bin Laden had been killed. Cena's act made me forget that it was all drama and scripted and it seemed real to me.
“Although I do not agree with what he did, I see nothing wrong with it,” says Cena. Cena told Vince McMahon at the end of the show that he did not sign up for something like McMahon was doing by taking Punk's last chance to wrestle on his hometown at Money in the Back with a chance to win the WWE world title.
Cena handled the WWE title to McMahon and walked away to the entry ramp. McMahon reinstated Punk, WWE universe understood that if Cena loses his match he will be fired from the WWE.
We have seen story line like this before in the case of Stone Cold Steve Austin fought the authority and transformed himself into the anti-hero. Even WCW had story line about booking, titles, entitlement and who would run the ship.
Ric Flair fought with Eric Bischoff over his contract for his place in the company. Eddie Guerrero questioned WCW as he thought that he was underutilized by them. Chris Benoit left WCW as he can't work with his wife’s former husband, Kevin Sullivan. And the famous real-life story of Matt Hardy, Edge and Lita.
This new version of WWE using CM Punk as Austin, When Ric Flair was suspended from WCW, Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage fought to reinstate him. This is beyond of all that, Last week showed us that Cena will get anything he wants and that's what WWE has done in this story line.
