John Cena came to kick start the show on the right note. I thought that the rap battle that he had with The Usos was entertaining. But the whole shtick about how WWE is his home and how the WWE Universe is his family is getting old, not because it's not heartfelt, but we've heard it far too many times.
There is no doubt that John Cena actually believes that WWE is home. You could hear his voice crack up as he was cutting his promo. I still can't help but wonder if it wouldn't have been a better idea to use Cena in some other way, maybe to put a legend over.

Even a backstage promo between say, Cena and someone like Braun Strowman could have done wonders. As good as Cena's delivery is, the same promo can get really old, really fast.
