Cena said both the live fans and the tyranny of Roman Reigns brought him back. “WHAT am I here for? The Universal Championship. WHEN? About five weeks from now at SummerSlam,” Cena confessed to a huge pop.
He mentioned there are various reasons why he chose SummerSlam. The reasons varied from headlining a “record-breaking SummerSlam event, a record-breaking 17-time championship win, but it’s not because of that. In reality, it’s because Reigns is an a****le.”
Cena said, “this pathetic Roman Reigns Experience has gone on long enough. Roman Reigns is an arrogant, self-absorbed, over-hyped, over-protected, over-exposed gimmick who’s not as over as he says he is, and that is coming from me.”
He said if someone was really that good, the people will acknowledge them, but Roman Reigns was not. Cena said he would be at Friday’s SmackDown to meet Reigns face-to-face.
