#2 Best: John Cena cuts an epic promo

Remember how I spoke about WWE embracing a cinematic twist in their presentation? They certainly did so on SmackDown, especially with the whole Bray Wyatt and John Cena segment at the end. All of Bray Wyatt's Firefly Funhouse puppets showed up and John Cena would look more confused than he did when confronted by the choir during his last feud with Bray Wyatt.

But what a promo it was from John Cena preceding this segment. Cena channeled all of his intensity into not only building his upcoming match but by telling us that this year's WrestleMania was unique because none of us knows what is really going to transpire on the actual show. And to be quite honest, that is a very nice perspective to have, all things said and done.

I love the fact that we do not know what a Firefly Funhouse match is as we head into WrestleMania and also what a Boneyard match is because it adds that element of surprise that has been missing from pro wrestling in the recent past.
