WWE Raw: 5 Things we learned from this week’s episode (14 January 2019)

#4 John Cena will continue to put wrestlers over

'Bumblebee' Beijing Press Conference

John Cena is an extraordinary athlete. This isn’t just because of all the matches and titles he has won and the number of years he has served as a sports entertainer, but also because of his work as a man who wants to leave the industry in good hands.

While most Superstars want to rack up as many titles and opportunities as they can, Cena has been doing something different since the past couple of years.

Since becoming a part-time superstar and also finding work in Hollywood, he has ensured that he returns to put some deserving superstars over in emphatic fashion for the WWE Universe to start believing in them a bit more than they already did.

This week he was the first to come out and confront Vince McMahon to get a chance at the Universal Championship against Brock Lesnar and mentioned all his accomplishments in the process.

However, later in the night, he took the pinfall to give Finn Balor the chance to go ahead and battle for the Championship as he is the future of the company. While it seemed as though Baron Corbin was added in the match to take the pin for whoever was supposed to be the victor, it was Cena who laid down to put Balor over and give him his chance at the Royal Rumble.
