#2 Roman Reigns and John Cena have a face-off
Ad

There were only three wrestlers in the Royal Rumble that were welcomed with thorns rather than roses: Jinder Mahal, John Cena and Roman Reigns. If that wasn't enough, having a spot where two of them would have a face-off just exposed the failure of creative.

The fans don't buy Cena and Reigns because they believe that there are numerous other wrestlers in the locker room who deserve better treatment than them. WWE should have learned from their match at No Mercy the hostile reaction the fans would give them.
The 'passing of the torch' moment has happened already, and this storyline should have been passed on too.
