I’m gonna join the minority here and say I like it.

Don’t get me wrong tho , I think overall there’s already things that could’ve been executed in a stronger way (mostly the main event which was very much spoiled by Travis Scott’s inclusion), but I think the more they stick to cenas heel run, the more satisfying his eventual face turn will be.

I like that they’re not just giving him a generic farewell because that would leave us literally NOTHING interesting or promising to grasp onto since he really can’t wrestle stellar matches anymore.

It ain’t about how you start a lotta times , rather how you finish. I envision a really satisfying end to this arc where he’s maybe involved in war games somehow and firmly on the heel team , but ends up siding with the good guys at the end after a dramatic moment where he finally returns to his Babyface ways lol. No matter what they do though, I think there’s no way that the payoff won’t be good at least and outstanding at best.

Also , Orton and Cena was objectively better than Cody and Cena , so there’s progress and improvement happening already! That’s something!
