Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently shared his thoughts on John Cena's promo. The star closed out SmackDown with a powerful segment.
Cena hit a vicious AA on CM Punk, putting him through a table. The champ then got on the mic and dropped a "pipebomb" insulting his challenger. The Franchise Player claimed that he was the Greatest of All Time, and he would expose Punk as a fraud at Night of Champions.
This week on BroDown with host Mac Davis, Russo pointed out that by the end of the segment, the fans had started cheering for John Cena. He noted that John was spitting facts during the promo, which made everyone cheer for him. The veteran writer was impressed that the last segment was reality-based and much better than anything else on the show.
"These people are a hundred percent rejoicing and do you know why? Let me tell you why. Because he's telling the truth. When somebody is telling the truth, the people are gonna be with you. It's not the rest of the phony bulls*it you saw in the first two hours and fifty minutes." [6:51 onwards]
John Cena and CM Punk will face off at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia with the Undisputed WWE Championship on the line.
It will be interesting to see who comes up on top when these two long-time rivals collide.
