John Cena got emotional after suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of a Samoan star at WWE Crown Jewel.

Ever since joining the Bloodline last year, Solo Sikoa has been unstoppable. He has competed against and defeated some of the biggest names in the business. He has become Roman Reigns' enforcer, who The Tribal Chief turns to when he needs someone to be taken out.

Recently, Sikoa and John Cena have been embroiled in a feud for the past several weeks. After Cena got involved in Reigns' business, The Tribal Chief gave the order to take out Cena. As a result, a match was set up between Cena and Solo Sikoa for Crown Jewel.

While Cena was the overwhelming favorite heading into the match, Solo Sikoa surprised everyone when he decimated Cena. He hit him with multiple Samoan spikes before eventually pinning him.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
