Reigns and Cena, two incredibly polarizing Superstars

#4 ECW fans 'welcome' John Cena

ECW One Night Stand was a huge hit back in 2005, so much so that WWE went on to produce another ONS PPV the next year. This time around, the WWE Champion John Cena was set to face ECW Original Rob Van Dam, who was cashing in his MITB contract.

Cena had turned into a polarizing figure way before this night, but it got incredibly ugly at One Night Stand and Cena received possibly the strongest negative reaction of his entire career. The rabid crowd showered Cena with profanities and insults, some of which were "Same old s**t", "Overrated", and "You can't wrestle". It seemed like the crowd was going to actually riot if Cena won the match, but thankfully, Edge interfered during the closing moments of the bout and helped RVD win the WWE title.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
