Did John Cena Go Too Far With His WWE Raw Promo on Austin Theory?
Logic Pretzel
prevnextI'm not sure what Cena is getting at by saying if Austin Theory beats him he still loses......because he's gotta deal with the Raw after Mania crowd? He'd be dealing with them anyway

Not A Great Plan
prevnextMaybe I'm in the minority. I'm always willing to let a story cook a bit, but I am not really seeing how this segment was meant to enhance Austin Theory.
Accentuating someone's negatives is not generally a way to get people to care about someone.

How Can You Recover?
prevnextMy dude...
How do you recover from this line!?
John Cena put Austin Theory 10 feet under the dirt. I almost feel bad for him... almost. 😂
I guess WWE is hoping this will wake Austin Theory up and actually get him to live up to his full potential.pic.twitter.com/morOI10368

Feels Familiar
prevnextUnfortunately, this tends to be how top stars act when they're put up against midcarders. Think of Austin/Lance Storm and The Rock/Gunn. It doesn't really tell a story, it just kills the lower card guy from ever moving up.
I don't care for Theory but still an issue. https://t.co/bH09zdeZ2c

Lose-Lose Situation
prevnextCena LITERALLY said, "If you beat me, you lose everything."
What? That doesn't even make sense, and the message it sends is nothing is gained from Theory winning or losing. So why bother doing it?
That was completely counterproductive. What a weird promo.
